DESCRIPTION:
Ricky McLean (guitar, vox)'s kid, Violet, is the star of this song and video. Gleeful and awake and funny and beautiful. Easily self-amused and sweet with her brother and her new friend - whom she met on the 2nd day of shooting in a kid's park- who's name was also Violet. She wasn't that conscious of the camera. Or me. She just lights it up all by herself. Made it black n white with Christmas lights overlaid to sparkle the images. Shot on a lo-fi Canon vid cam.
