I directed this music video last year for imadethismistake. It’s one of my favorite songs from them.

I’ve uploaded this before, but it was in 4:3, here it is in glorious widescreen, the way it was meant to be seen.

Enjoy!

LYRICS:
She is an emerald
In a shining, shining winter
Rosette in a snow globe
*Write it up, clean and gold
I spread love

She is anticipating on it
Magic and old invention
Leanin’ out the window
Callin’ out, woah no
She sees what no one sees

Far away, with you
While every need, and water blue
We’ll sail away, on this boat
Till suddenly it’s new

Who made loss or whatever alone?
I know I cannot wait that long
I don’t know what I should be lookin’ at
But I will look wherever I’m told

Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte

Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte

I’m caught up in a storm
That I don’t need no shelter from
All I want and all I need
Right here with me
You’re right here with me

Call to me, soft and sweet
Cool the fire that burns in me
Catch me when I lose control
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
I’m caught up in a storm

Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte

Bitte orca, orca bitte
Bitte orca, orca bitte

In late 1994, Dino Cazares of Fear Factory championed a demo tape by Coal Chamber, causing a huge local stir with gigs at The Roxy Theatre and Whisky A Go Go, eventually leading Coal Chamber to an offer to sign with Roadrunner Records.

Fafara dropped out of the band quite suddenly due to disagreements with his wife about the band. In the spring of 1995, Dez reunited with Coal Chamber, ending his marriage but revitalizing the band. With a renewed sense of energy, Coal Chamber was able to regain their deal with Roadrunner by the end of 1995.

In 1997 their debut self-titled album Coal Chamber was released. Though they toured very heavily supporting this album, its mix of nu metal and goth rock imagery was not very successful.

Chamber Music followed two years later. Between the two releases bassist Rayna Foss had gotten married and become pregnant necessitating another bass player on tour; a role happily filled by Nadja Peulen.

Nadja continued playing bass for the recording of Coal Chamber’s third album as Rayna chose to leave the band to raise Kayla Moray Rose. Dark Days was released in the spring of 2002.

(This is Noise)

Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris
In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight
Down through the scrapers of the sky past neon words glowing all night
Echoes my name between each car, “Are you happy where you are?”

Blind to this impending fate
We let the world carry our weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But we all live in denial

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we’ve become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What’s mine was always yours, and yours is mine

Let’s go!

And so we carry on each day as if our lives are not so grey
While every breath that we take, we only suffocate
Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed
On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality

I’m blind to this impending fate
They let the world carry their weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But they all live in denial

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we’ve become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What’s mine was always yours, and yours is mine

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we’ve become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What’s mine was always yours, and yours is mine!

This is the third music video I’ve directed for my friend Kylewilliam and his band, imadethismistake. This single will be available on an upcoming split album.

written and performed by
imadethismistake

directed, edited and all visual effects by
fallofautumndistro

starring my roommate, Jeni.

I use Sony Vegas 7 to edit, and Adobe AfterEffects 7 for all compositing, visual effects and post production color correction.

I shoot with a miniDV Sony Handycam DCR-HC48.

Lyrics:
you haunt every memory i’ve got
everytime i walk into a place all i see is your face
yes you haunt every dream ive had
i close my eyes and realize that im all that ive got
so i bolt the door to my room
let the thoughts flood in, the blood, the sin, the maestros chamber pop
but i am strong, and i will return
youll see me again, and when you do my friend, we will cower, we will curse

we will look at the stars, they were once ours. those frail fragile things
they make light and shapes, but ive been replaced, by a boy i dont know his name

we once sat on this pew, and the moon was new you took my advice
we decided to and by blind, dumb luck ive been lost but never found

i want the wind to blow on
and the rain to pour down
and the clouds to take me up
and rendesvous with the sun

i want the snow to fall
and softly hit the ground
i need the sleet to meet my feet
hail all around
