DESCRIPTION:
In Norfolk, Virginia, in 1973, Heather Elizabeth Grant was crowned the Queen of Azaleas at the annual spring festival. Super 8 footage of the day's ceremonies and parade, complete with marching band, waving dignitaries, and tigers in cages, recently surfaced in Halifax, NS. The found footage has been put together with new 16mm footage of Jenn Grant performing the opening track from her newest album, The Beautiful Wild, "The Fighter" to make a video that speaks to the power of memory and artifact.

Directed by Jason Levangie with styling by Sarah Roy.

Lyrics:

Oh my hero tried
but i fell too many times
seeing blue and green when I was supposed to see white

All your ships in magazines
seem like make believe to me
You won't find me in the line
Trying to get somewhere to be

We were carrying on
Oh, we used to be so strong
Never knew we were living in the beautiful wild

In the beautiful wild, La de da
In the beautiful wild, La de da ...

Oh my hero tried
But I fought too many times
Seeing you in the scenes
Of an old time movie

Hold me close into the night
While we stay up one last time
Never knew we were living in the beautiful wild

In the beautiful wild, la de da...

A home on the farm
we haven't given up so far
A home on the farm
We haven't given up so far
