Circles - Allow Yourself to Feel
I don't often make music videos, but this song became a beautiful pillar in my life in the past few years, so I decided to make this video as a way to honor its potency, and the brilliance of my singer songwriter friend, @robbiebtw
After Zoe and I split, and I witnessed my mother dying in my arms this past year, I felt that there was no other way to make this video other than simply allowing people to feel the same emotions that the song created for me as well-- emotions of grief in honor of the beauty of deep love.
So here it is Circles. An experimental art music video about loss the musings of pain. I recommend letting it become a safe space for you to feel the love for those you have lost.

The Transformational Benefits of Pain
Переглядів 56Рік тому
Lessons on why and how pain can make you invincible, if you truly allow yourself to feel it. Key Points: • Often we don't change who we are until we are in enough pain to do so. • Not taking action is what causes stress • Procrastination is the unwillingness to face the fear and discomfort of your goals. • Courage is the ability to feel your fear and move forward anyhow. • Mastering compassion ...

The Choice of Being
Переглядів 1883 роки тому
Who are you choosing to be? Most of us likely thing that we are X, Y, or Z. And we accept that it's true. We might say something like I am sad, I am angry, or I am bad. Which may be true, but what else are we? In this video, we explore the idea of the fact that we can't change our past, but we can change our state of being. Believe it or not, being is a choice. At any point I can choose to be v...
Control vs Freedom
Переглядів 2233 роки тому
More and more in my life, I have come to realize that I love to control everything. I assume it was because my father loved to control me and his father loved to control him. Maybe its because I am a Virgo and want everything to be perfect. Who knows. But what I have come to realize is the price that I pay for this. I'm paying the price of being free. Of letting things happen. Just the other da...
Comfort vs Power
Переглядів 843 роки тому
Are you comfortable? If you are, are you living your dream and doing all of the legendary stuff that you always imagined? Perhaps this is possible, however, the act of doing powerful things doesn't often come with comfort. To have power means to stand above the noise, against the current and do be in a place that nobody else wants to go. To be unapologetically strong in your disruptive, unique,...
Victimization vs Responsibility
Переглядів 1303 роки тому
Life is hard. It can feel unfair. Perhaps we have been dealt some shitty cards. Maybe we go through life telling the story about the shitty cards that we were dealt. But who is the one telling that story? Who has the power to change that story? Recently I have learned that playing the role of victim is a way to gain CONTROL over someone else. And quite a petty one at that. Often we go through l...

The Black Keys - Next Girl (Music Video)
I remember watching this for the first time as a kid in 2012 and all these years later I am amazed at how great it still is. It definitely evokes some nice feelings.
i heard that people had been falling into the boston harbor during the riots, i cant find a news report of that incident so does anyone have a video of it?
I always smile at "you'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go." Reminds me of the people I love who have been like home to me and the amazing people I've yet to meet.
Cult
Love this every time ❤🎉
May 2024 and I still come back to this video and it always gets me teary eyed.
One never stops walking laplaya, once the sacred principles set in
😭 every damn time
I have been trying to do a reading of this for a video project for my children and the children in the family and in all honesty I love everybody’s different styles of reading this and the different backgrounds. Despite it not being like some of the reading of “do not go gentle into this good night” readings or spoken word recitals that I rate. Where every sentence is put across with perfect dramatic sub context is has got a really pure story to tell that has completely made me re-evaluate the best way to tell the story within. I have found no good spoken word readings of this but listening to this really shows a different way to approach it.
I first discovered this in 2011 when I was just starting my career. It's been my comfort and inspiration every time I need it. I am so grateful. It has changed my life.
This video has saved my life more than once.
ZTM member?🤗
Hello, thanks for this.. the thought that there is no thought is a thought already. ❤
Teddy just to let you know this is my favourite video on UA-cam I come back here often
Hahahaha bunch of attention seeking wankers
This ain't the American Dream; it's the American Nightmare, cuz! HELL YEAH!!!!
Honestly, Burning Man '11 seems to have looked like a utopian post-apocalyptic movie set. I hope that you all had fun.
I’ve watched this video so many times over the last few years. I cannot describe how much this means to me❤
Still visit this video after all these years! still my fave
Simple it's not, I am afraid you will find...for a mind maker-upper to make up her mind!
❤❤❤❤
Burns 13, 14, 15, and now '23 is all because of the love and beauty in this wonderful video
Such a work of art
🤔 . . . ( I wonder how many times over the years someone politely came over to him and asked if he was Chad Allen ? ) 🤔
so much love!!!!!
Hey Brother. Just landed on this video after searching Ayahuasca and Nirvana on Google. I must confess I felt nirvana too during my journey with the medicine. Suddenly I understood what peace and being bless meant. I heard the word peace of mind and being present.my whole life but experience it.... Wow. I now know that state exist and it is a worthwhile path to take. Thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you the best and let's be here now 🙏.
The few seconds I'm in this is one of my favourite things I've ever done
this was a fantastic year @ Black Rock and I love this video so. Teddy & the friends that made it! <3 you all... DANiSH
Am I gonna be that guy that notices the overwhelmingly disproportionate whiteness of this cast
i am afraid that you are the one who is always kind of there, but that no one actually wants to be around.
@@andrewj6573 I'd rather be that and want people of color around, than the other kind.
@@andrewj6573 y'know while I'm at it imma go there. One of the tenets of burning man is radical inclusion, another being civic responsibility. Does it uphold these principles to make a video about burning man that includes only white presenting people (i counted one black person cycling in the background). Which of the ten principles are you upholding with this comment? Participation? (LOL) Radical self expression? (🚩) This video can be beautiful and painfully caucasian at the same time
@@VegasValentineMusic and yet if it were all black people you wouldn't be crying from your high horse.
Cuuuute ~w_w~
You will never see or find.
Still absolutely adore the power of these words !!! ❤
You: “if not now then..” Me: “now” You: “now” Jinx
He’s cute
I had to come back.. Esto es tan hermoso y tan lleno de vida... Gracias ❤
Need this
Beautiful work Teddy! I love it, even more, knowing this was birthed after your Dark Night of the Soul.
🤍
Thank you to everyone who was a part of creating such a beautiful thing! No matter how old I get, or whatever happens in life, I appreciate this and come back to it on a rainy day! Thank you!
I watch this almost everyday Thank you
❤❤❤
I wish I could like it again every time I watch it. Xoxoxox
I discovered this video before I met ya, and probably watch it at least a couple times every year. So glad to call you a friend these days, Teddy! Much love brother. 💜
Cool, Teddy. Thanks for sharing. :)
Good morning great day! Where oh where will you take me today?! ⚡🌙⚜️🫧✨🫴
Cool, Cool.
Definitely cool to have the live experience (especially when people eventually start watching live with you) but you could also edit this down into a shorter version. As a fellow editor- watching this live is actually kinda fun though.
AMAZING...AMAZING...AMAZINGLY MAGICAL STILL! This saved my life, sanity, joy and grateful heart. Bless you @TeddySaunders. Thank you for the brilliant, bright colors and the energy. Hugs. Much LOVE LOVE LOVE! 🥰😘🤩
