Here’s the official lyric video for “Down By The River” from our debut album “Sadnecessary.” The video was created by Alberto Zanella aka ZaniZ and Juan Quintas, two visual artists from Brazil.
“When I was asked to create the images for the Lyric video of “Down by the River,“ I was a bit stuck with the song’s lyrics. It had a depth that I wasn’t grasping. I found some hints from Clemens Rehbein on Wikipedia about the lyrics; he doesn’t like to explain the story behind the lyrics, but from what I understood, it’s about the Fulda River in Germany and the experiences he and Philipp Dausch had there. Building on this initial idea, I started creating prompts for Stable Diffusion (my favorite artificial intelligence), and I noticed that it was familiar with and generated good images of the Fulda River. I created a continuous flow of images, an infinite zoom along the river generated by artificial intelligence. I took the liberty of transforming their experiences into a psychedelic journey, where the river becomes a setting combined with mushrooms, tears, and storms, producing a psychedelic trip open to individual interpretations, thus trying to maintain Clemens’ original idea of letting the viewer create their own story.” - ZaniZ
“Working alongside the artist ZaniZ, that created images utilizing AI with a tone of infinite transformation, I added animated lettering that was created phrase by phrase, generating unique movements for each lyric, a sort of artificial intelligence Karaoke machine in which the lettering is generated on the fly while it listens to the music. Hence its inconsistency and improbability of what happens. – Juan Quintas’
LYRICS
Down by the River
I was drawn by your grace
Into tempest of oblivion
and to the lovers place
I was stuck in a puddle
full of tears and unwise
dark doings
Now I know that we’ve paid unlike
Honey I know Hey
when we walked arm in arm
I felt like we can throw away
the falseness of our past
And I know too
It’s been the hardest days for you
Let’s throw them out the window
that’s what those lovers do
Down by the River
