Video Borrowed Being
Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Oct 23, 2009 at 3:19 PM
Just look at those impermeable faces, those sweeping moves, those flowing clothes....
...This race no longer exists. Its extinct. In this video for S.O.S. Band's "Borrowed Love," we see the race at the moment of dusk. They are in the ruins, at the end of the sands of time. All here are soon to become shades like that lady in the distance. But they do not care. They are impeccable; they are impermeable.
We can no longer make R&B that has this kind detachment, control, elegance. Black elegance can never be retrieved; it can only recede. "The pain of too much pleasure..."
