I find myself often curiously surprised by this young man. I have heard his music in the past and enjoyed many more of his songs than I realized. What I mean is often I have heard a song I liked but did not realize he was the musician.
But his exploits as reported in the press gave me the impression that he was just another musician hell bent on living the good life and his music was just a means to an end. That end seemed to be (again per press reports) partying & dating famous actresses.
And then I find something like this video. It's film he took in Japan a few months ago. It's quiet and reflective and shows a much deeper understanding of human nature than I would have given him credit for in the past. He shows the things that are truly beautiful in this world are often just simple things; the small enjoyments we can derive from each day and from viewing and observing the passing world around us. It fascinates me to find this type of knowledge in one so young.
So perhaps I will have to re-examine and re-evaluate my opinion of this young man. How refreshing - someone who can surprise you by their wisdom and express it so beautifully. I look forward to seeing and hearing more of this young man's art.
Enjoy.
