The What's Underneath Project

For weeks now I have been religiously watching every single video uploaded by StyleLikeU to their series titled, The What's Underneath Project. Every single video is shot in such a way that reiterates the delicacy and importance of what is being said by each individual.

Here are my favourite video's that have been uploaded thus far:

Jo Equality Lampert

Tallulah Willis

Melani Gaydos

Meredith Graves

                                                                           

Kelsey Lu McJunkins

                                                                             

video treat: Youth by Daughter (official video)

last night the video for Youth by Daughter was released.

video teat: skins season 5 promo

i stopped watching skins a while ago but i think that this is brilliant.

(best in HD)

video treat: TedTalks

i've always been aware of TEDtalks and i have watched a few over the years but for some reason, it's my regular study break to watch them now.
even though there are thousands of them out there, there have been a few that have moved me.

these are a few of the video's that have either inspired me, spoken to me or delighted me:

The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer

Embracing Otherness by Thandie Newton

If I Should Have A Daughter by Sarah Kay

All It Takes Is 10 Mindful Minutes by Andy Puddicombe

video treat: 1 Thing (cover) by Peter & Kerry

source: http://www.myoldkentuckyblog.com/?p=35664

i'd like to publically admit that "1 Thing" by Amerie is my JAM. it just gets me going. i will further admit that i just love that album in general.

this cover of the song is so different- lighter,slower, more delicate. it doesn't make me swish my hips side to side and nearly dislocate them from trying to be Amerie/sexy but i LOVE it.

Peter & Kerry are such a good duo. yum.

video treat: White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes

cover:

I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats

With scarves of red tied 'round their throats

To keep their little heads

From falling in the snow

And I turned 'round and there you go

And Michael, you would fall

And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime

video treat: Wolf's Law by The Joy Formidable

this has always been one of my favorite video's. 

Tell me the way you've been (so long)

I want to go along and pretend that it's dawn

That's the start not the close

I'm your friend not your post

We're under Wolf's Law

Another new scene that flies

Another empty picture for this collage of mine

Want to pull it back

And pretend that it's dark

That we made it here unharmed

I'm your friend not your guard

And we're under Wolf's Law

I'll take the gambling way

Let's send it spiraling

Just to visit that box

Don't wait, let's go, go, go

Don't wait, let's go, go, go

Video Treat: Push It by Salt n Pepper

Video Treat: What if money was no object?

Video Treat: Tomorrow by Daughter

so this video isn't entirely visually captivating BUT it is performed so well. i am so infatuated with Daughter. Elena Tonra has such a hauntingly beautiful voice. she sings in such a delicate way but each note that escapes her feels so powered by the purest of emotions.

complete adoration.
p.s: do not rob yourself of watching this in anything other than HD.

Video Treat: Truth by Alexander

(second watch of the month)

this is Alexander Ebert. he is beautiful and i warn you that you may fall in love.

now watch, maybe listen more.

                                         

The truth is that I never shook my shadow

Every day it's trying to trick me into doing battle

Calling out "faker" only get me rattled

Want to pull me back behind the fence with the [cattle]

Building your [lenses]

Digging your trenches

Put me on the front line

Leave me with a dumb mind

With no defenses

But your defenses

If you can't stand to feel the pain then you are senseless

[Since] this

I've grown up some

Different kind of fighter

And when the darkness come let it inside you

Your darkness is shining

My darkness is shining

Have faith in myself

Truth

I've seen a million numbered doors on the horizon

Now which is the future you choosen before you gone dying.

I'll tell you 'bout a secret I've been underminding

Every little lie in this world come from dividing

Say you're my lover, say you're my homie,

Tilt my chin back slit my throat take a bath in my blood get to know me

All out of my secrets

All my enemies are turning into my teachers.

Because, lights blinding, no way dividing what's yours or mine when everything's shining

You darkness is shining my darkness is shining

Have faith in ourselves 

Truth

Yes I'm only loving, only trying to only love

That's what I'm trying to do is only loving

Yes I'm only lonely loving feeling only loving

Till I'm feeling only loving

Ya say it ain't loving ain't loving my loving

But I'm only loving only loving only loving

Only loving the truth.
