Those of you with sharp memories will recall Starina from last September’s First Date feature. At the time, a Kickstarter campaign was underway to fund the filming and production of the video for the track “This I Know,” taken from Starina’s debut full length, The Snow Years.
We watched as the Kickstarter goal was met and later as filming began, and we’re delighted to deliver the world premiere of probably the most cinematic and emotionally engaging video you’ll see all year. Directed by Bradley W. Ragland, we’re pleased to debut “This I Know.”
“When I was a young kid, I got run over by my brother’s bike and a wheel spoke punctured a vein in my left arm. The color of the blood that rose from my skin was beautiful and fascinating to me at first, then painful as hell.
Both the boy riding my brother’s bike, and my brother, wanted me to remain silent and not tell anyone. (It was a house rule—my brother was not allowed to let his friend ride his bike.)
I hated them both for running me over and then trying to keep me silent, and with that rage I always wondered what it would be like to stab the bike back. So they (my bother and his friend) could feel what it was like to feel that kind of pain…”
