CocoRosie - Smokey Taboo trailer from Grey Oceans
Today I’m showing you 1:02mn of pure beauty. I can’t embed 2 videos in a single post, so I had to choose my favorite and it’s this one. Open your eyes, 1:02mn is very short. But wow, the girls from CocoRosie are really amazing when it’s about to create video clips of their songs. I do love the video for Lemonade, and here I really can’t wait for the full video of Smokey Taboo.
To hear the full song, here’s the link (sorry again that I can’t put the Youtube video directly) :
“Smokey Taboo” is from Cocorosie’s album “Grey Oceans”, released last May 2010.
“Journeying inward, into the forest-dark ember, led by crystal light,
the voicing of whales and ancient souls passed, we embarked;
slipping with muddy foothold, on a destination-less ride through
darkened waters filled with starry-eyed daughters. We have had
many guides, some dead ones, some alive, some sisters with names
pronounceable, others, just an inkling, the last heat of summer, seeping
up, out of the evening sunned soil in September. We close our eyes,
to hear the decoration, a burnt out corn field, a sad place to remember,
the story of a heartless crow, his countless cackles haunting, his mission,
misogyny. We dual waves, heavy laden with salt, of foisted female identity,
underlying, trinity is crying, she mourns so sweetly. Heavy on our hearts,
the weight of time; the earth who lost her balance and fell into the snowy depths of industrial mucus.” ~CocoRosie
