Hercules & The Love Affair - Athene - Don't Look Down

These Brooklyn disco disciples make music that bumps in the night. And, during this 21-minute sunset rooftop performance, it feels like their elastic grooves and non-stop vogue-ing do their part to help push the sun down across the horizon.

This performance got me hypnotized, I can't stop watching it. I can't get enough of it. That brass section got me crazy. I really like Kim Ann Foxman's vocals and presence; and just adore Nomi Ruiz's dancing and powerful vocals. That man vogueing adds a chic touch. But most of all, what killed me is how the "magic hour", that golden light that is produced at sunset, hit the moment they were performing this song. ❤ Bravissimo!!!

[@mtsmith89]

I remember the first time I saw this video and was blown away. The bass hit is so fire. The whole the is mesmerizing!

Love the guy casually vogueing in the background.

[@brainglow_lightbright]

“Casually”

[@darksomehandsome]

This will forever be in my top 5 favorite music videos of all time. It's not an official music video, but it's still better than what most artists put out these days. It's so raw and so real.

[@mtsmith89]

I agree, one of the most unique and best I've seen! Such a great performance.

[@Gogetemgabriella]

Right on our building in Williamsburg Brooklyn…..they were our everything..still are. Kim Ann Foxman i dream about still

The world need more Hercules and the love affair

[@jibrahim7196]

At 3:50 you can see how the Williamsburg Bank watch tower near Atlantic Terminal was the tallest building in Brooklyn. Now obscured by luxury condos. I love this video. It reminds me of hanging on my rooftop and what Brooklyn was like back then.

[@cristinaojeda7425]

this video takes this song to incomprehensible heights... hot dam.

[@shaunskura6275]

LIterally LIVING for this roof scene - Obsessed, the dancing, its all too much! Long live Herc and the LA! :p

[@beaglybeagle]

Spellbinding! The musicianship, the funky groove, the soulful vocals, those horns (!!), the great mesmerizing dancing, and most of all the glow of sunset coming down on New York City. If you could put together one ensemble who shines above the rest, it is "Hercules and Love Affair"!!

[@Gaboliin]

Athene Shes a woman of war She gives us the reasons Reasons worth fighting for Athene She offers protection She show me how to make Make my life's reflection How i yearn for her wisdom I look in every face The grey eyes, the gentle kiss I look for the safe place Athene Not perfect but still strong Warring with her own heart Singing a woman's song Athene With her hand she could give Through the battles of her life She showed me how to live (?)
