DESCRIPTION:
The official video for "Raw Diamond Ring" featuring Kyra Santoro, off of Matthew Mayfield's newest record RECOIL out now on all digital platforms. CD's and vinyl available at matthewmayfield.com.

The whole concept for this video was to present the idea that the kind of love that ties two people together for a lifetime is both very simple yet extremely complex. The ups and downs of relationships and life are what shape us as humans.  The imagery of Kyra uncovering the diamond from the ground and seeing me inside it represents the kind of love that has always been there and will never fade. It was written before either of us knew the other existed. The way she carefully constructs the ring is a metaphor for the attention to detail and meticulous effort true love requires.  Love is rarely a polished product. As humans we have imperfections and the raw diamond symbolizes those flaws.  The thing is, there is beauty in that.  

It was a really unique experience on set because most of the frames were shot through an actual diamond on the camera lens, which gives it that refracted, prism-esque effect. It was intended to show the viewer the perspective of the other person in the relationship looking out at their partner searching for that person and that love.
