For some inside 'making-of' commentary, read on...selecting our next song to do was pretty easy. We sat down, played through a bunch of 3eb tunes, and knew immediately that we had to do Darkness, as it was a song that we had both enjoyed in the past and both had ideas come to mind for it. We decided the main theme would be the idea of the dual nature of light: the light and the dark and how these two sides of the same coin need each other. Scott was the light (tied to the dawn, daylight, etc.) while Jake was the dark (tied to the sunset, moon, darkness, etc.). Each theme has their own part of the song (chorus for dark, verses for light), as well as a transition period for each. On their own, they both seem to be missing something...but they begin to come together more and more, finally resulting in them merging as they walk down the tracks during dusk (a period when the light and the dark intertwine).
On a side note, we are both amateur fans of parkour/freerunning and love to train together, so anytime we can fit it into a video, we gladly do so.
Hope you enjoyed it somewhat, I know we enjoyed making it...here's to many more, once we're both in the same area again. If you have not already seen the previous video, to the song "Jumper", check it out as well:
