One of the best songs of last year It finally has a video. Published in December 2016, Travelers, from the Argentinian group City of Willows, is part of the album We jumped into the abyss, A work that received excellent reviews from the specialized media and that still has potential. to continue being promoted on digital platforms.
Travelers It's a story with a sense of confused adolescence facing love. Its lyrics say:
«"They were looking for the sea, they got lost along the roads
that they weren't going anywhere
They found freedom in the smallest things.
in loving each other without thinking about anything else
innocent, soulless, and lonely
innocent, soulless, and lonely
They didn't think about tomorrow, they just lived in a hurry
as if there were no more days
They awoke in a thousand villages
A thousand winters and summers, always going a little further
innocent, soulless, and lonely
innocent, soulless, and lonely
I never saw them again, I don't know where they are.
I never saw them again, I can't forget them…»
The video, in black and white, attempts to represent that story in some way., using two boys who travel around the city of La Plata, ...caught in a whirlwind of emotions ranging from the uninhibited joy of falling in love to disappointment and separation from the couple. As a curious detail, The protagonist of the video is the daughter of Fede Kempff, the band's singer.
Travelers It's a naively constructed clip that It manages to pay homage to one of the most rockin' cities on the continent, This helps to give greater meaning to a brilliant composition that deserves to be listened to many times before it becomes tiresome. This is the effort of a band that aims to be among the most prominent in their country. and that with exquisite pop music he can achieve it. This video is an interesting warning to draw attention to a good proposal.
