Awesome Song & Animation: Darlingside - White Horses

 Hi!

Earlier today—I received an email with a link to a Vimeo video—and once I'd watched that, I started snooping through recent animations there and within a few moments found one from a band called Darlingside—with their song "White Horses," which I've embedded below

Sometimes I know almost immediately that a video is hitting my "feelz."

With "White Horses"—I liked what I was hearing from the very first few bars of the song—and within a few lines of the lyrics—I loved it.

In addition, the animation beautifully atmospheric throughout—with characters having a simple charm—all encompassed in a story that is both sweet and poignant—as a younger brother tirelessly chases after his older sibling—slowly growing older until.....

Anywho—I think it is all quite well done—and hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

 Lyrics are included under the video if ya wanna follow or sing along.  ☺

White Horses - Lyrics 

My brother led me outside
Be quiet, I’ve got a light
No moon tonight
Sitting on the ledge outside the second floor
We could hear the sirens running up the road

[Chorus]
White horses for Chicago
Black water brings me back home

[Verse 2]
October, I lose my mind
Cross over Wisconsin line
Apple cider signs
Looking for a trace of our orchard underground
Growing in the basements beneath a brand new town

[Chorus]
White horses for Chicago
Black water brings me back home

[Verse 3]
Every year it's about the same
I'm swimming in my dreams across the lake
In second place
Come the winter I’m driving blind
A tuxedo doing donuts on the ice
Black-and-white on white
Doesn't matter if I sleep or follow it out of bed
I know that in the morning it's water in my head

[Chorus]
White horses for Chicago
Black water brings me back home

White horses for Chicago
Black water brings me back home
