Mr. Baffa, I'm truly baffled by such Beauty…

To put it all in words is a hard task, but I had to share it – "or die trying"… 😉

This video is such a fabulous idea & accomplishment plus it has 'almost' all in the right track – its only fault is that's shorter than we all deserve…

Photography, Music, Subject, wow…

It's hard to pick just one aspect less than the highest grade that fills it up to the brim with a contagiously positive vibe plus a both relaxing & energetic atmosphere – with a great help from that precise upbeat soundtrack by Marmoset. Which slow, subtle start is set in motion as if the Ocean itself was pushed ashore by an incoming Swell that's gradually increasing in strength, size, intensity and power, until it blossoms in that final section, with its passionate Drummer pushing a wide-open wall of an incomparable crescent "Ostinato" that had a perfect closing in a parallel as to Tyler in his scenes as the-shaper-at-work. Nature & Music combined precision at its best.

After those very short scenes from 6'04 to 6'15 (although I can understand the montage-concept synching it to the music on those) and around the 6'53 and 7'00 mark (thought that such beautiful waves should have more onscreen time than that rushed cut that followed), for a brief moment I feared that such a marvelous overall harmony would be disrupted by that same "modernistic" style of "franticlipping" everything until was nothing "continuous" and/or organically attractive to the Eye & Soul anymore. Then the next wave sequences were more respectful to that natural swing we can read in any wave, that's so refreshingly connected with Nature. Also at 1'47 I could barely hear those last words Tyler said.

If I may ask something, here it goes: this rare, precious video should be re-edited to an extended version. At least to show in a more complete fashion all those touching poetry-in-motion scenes which its short-lived seconds on the video left an indelible craving for a bit more.

Congratulations to all – for 8+ minutes, Life was pure Magic again…
