[I can feel those] Empty Diamond Graces

So here's another music video by Casey Ford Alexander, the Princeton-educated Politics major with a flair for smoothly abrupt (oxymoron?) cinematography and visual/audio pathos.

It's a music video to to the song "Empty Diamond Graces" by Mandala, which I had not previously heard before I saw the video. The song is thought-provoking and haunting, with a sort of ethnic but modern feel.

As far as the video, I would say the composition random-ass and shaky shots is not nearly as fluid as in Alexander's previous videos. However, as always, the Los Angeles-based director seems to capture the raw emotion of the lyrics and music and translate them into a visual montage that draws the audience in until they feel almost complete empathy. Once again, well done CFA.
