Erykah Badu-Out My Mind, Just In Time
As soon as I heard this song, my mind went blank and I went into a zone. The zone was similiar to this video, black and white plus full of graceful movements. It made me remember things I wanted to forget but just as the camera went from the body which people can forget, it went to the shadow to show you that, "I'm still here, so you must remember me" and to me, the shadow represent memories.
I have no idea if that was the reason it was done in that fashion but it made me think of that.
Directed by a woman that has a mind to make fantasy spring to life as if her words were the sperm and the world was the egg that is about to be fertilized.
Her videos always made you think, like is there something else then just visual stimuli and to point you in the right direction, read the words that are shown as the video starts and the fact that she started the video laying on her back and ended the video with her going into the same position.
Could she be repeating the same cycle over again? I can only speculate on the artist creation. The only person that truly knows the real meaning is the creator and that creator is, Miss Erykah Badu.
Support real music and open your eyes.
