Pale Horses




Check out this beautiful video for the song, Pale Horses, off of Moby's latest album which comes out on Tuesday, called, Wait for Me.


The song and video remind me of a dream sequence where you're running into someone you once loved & lost and the happy and excited feelings associated with this chance encounter.



Like the popular children's novel which I read in French class, Le Petit Prince, the song emphasizes that harsh reality that even if love is ever lasting, people (or animals and plants in the case of The Little Prince) are ephemeral.



The song's haunting melody complements the video's monochromatic colour scheme nicely and the cartoon medium makes this melancholy video enjoyable to watch.
