I hope this gets to her.
Walter C. May and with band of roommates (literally in a band called, The Daylights), wrote a song and made a video for May’s girlfriend. She’s in grad school far far away on the other side of the country from May. Instead of sending her the video directly, they are sending the video out through tweets, links and other social media in hopes that she stumbles upon it randomly. May hopes that this shows her that they “can feel close without having to be close every day”. How cute is that? Help spread the word!
There’s also an interview with Walter C. May at the Villiage Voice:
I wanted it to be simple, something really anyone could have done. We shot the video in my buddy’s garage on a Canon 5D one Sunday afternoon, and I spent maybe $100 in total, buying black bedsheets and stuff. I didn’t want to go overboard, to show that the thought really does count.
I had to block her [May's girlfriend] from my Twitter. She studies so much she doesn’t check it a lot, so hopefully she won’t notice for a while. She was also here last weekend and that was really hard. But our friends and her friends at school have all been given the gag order, so it really has to be some random way she’s going to see it.
