"Too Close to Love You"

Like life, sometimes videos make little sense to those who are watching instead of living it. At least that was the emotion I got from the choice for Music Sunday at Experience Optimism. I offer Alex Clare's official video of "Too Close to Love You" for consideration today.

Had I not just seen the movie "Taken 2" with Liam Neeson, I would have not been drawn to find out more about the song and discover the video. Let me explain, it was perfect for the movie. Here, not so much, but the movie features Neeson's character, a fighter, saving his family. The sport in the video is Kendo, a Japanese martial art. It is physically and mentally challenging, like Neeson's character.

So perhaps the video makes sense after all. Now if I could just say the same for life.
