"Crow Flies High" - Dan Frechette & Laurel Thomsen

Released on our fourth album, "Driving By Candlelight," we decided to revisit our song "Crow Flies High" recently and to finally create a music video for it. Written on a tour through the Southwest back in 2016, we had to cancel our last tour date in Phoenix due to an approaching storm that had been washing out roads across Southern California. We took a more northern route, passing through Flagstaff and watching black clouds collect on the southern horizon for what felt like hours. It felt like we were riding the edge between two worlds and as we reflected on that feeling it brought up memories of friends and loved ones passing to the other side, and the choices we all have to make, sometimes daily, between the light and the dark, the known and the unknown, the self and the other.
We hope you enjoy our latest efforts here and will share the video the others you think might enjoy it. Laurel works tirelessly to coordinate every element of these videos and enjoyed searching through various public domain footage sources to bring everything together and represent all the variety, diversity, and beauty our crow might see, flying high, taking in all experience and all it means to be a being on this planet.
