Life Insurance by Hawk
Hawk is a wonderful musician that I came across in Vancouver BC. He had an amazing career back in early 90's with his band's album releasing world wide and songs ending up in hollywood movies. Then life took over and sort of took Hawk away from music.
But thankfully after a long break, he came back to music and produced the album "Life Insurance" few years back in Vancouver. Winston Hauschild was the producer and Shawn Cole sound mixer for the album.
As a young filmmaker I wanted to direct a music video and Hawk wanted one in next to zero budget. We put our heads together and were able to come up with this. Of course this project wouldn't be possible without Dina Attela (DOP), Justin Kamelar (PM), Rosaura Lazema (ART) and Nicholas Ayerba (COLOR), the super duper crew.
Lyrics of the song and links to purchase the album are given below. Hope you will enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. I sincerely hope I made justice to the song.
Enjoy!
"Life Insurance" (Hawk)
If it happens
And you leave before I do
Won't need any life insurance
I'll just need a boat
Heading straight to the open sea
And when I have gone as far as I can go
My drowning heart in motion
And my grief - is larger than the ocean
So here I am
So far away from land
Won't need any life insurance
This simple boat will do
The waves are dancing in the sun
And your lovely soul surrounds me
There is nothing left to do now
Except smile and let my spirit find you
I will lie down and close my eyes
And I'll wait -- until I drift back to you
