"My Guitar Gently Weeps" Artist Statement

“My Guitar Gently Weeps”

“My Guitar Gently Weeps” is a music video for an artist by the name of Komain. The song is an ode to what hip-hop used to be, could be, should be, or maybe some combination of all three.  The basic concept is that we’re stepping inside Komain’s head as he hears the music and the scenes reflect the song’s feeling. He walks through an empty door to nowhere, seeking something, finding only the beat. In the auditorium, he is alone, a student of the music and rhymes, alone in his research. As the words flow from his pen the guitar gently weeps in the distance. Outside, he is in the cold, vulnerable, fighting through it. In the studio he is in his element, his comfort zone, oblivious to the outside world and he is one with the music.
