We've got our first-ever music video -- and we're not even in it! It's all Obama. We're too close to a historic election to be too worried about everything else.

It's set to our song "Today," which is our most atmospheric track, I suppose. The mood and lyric (it's just one line) seemed to jibe with the Obama message.
Here's a little trivia about that song. The original words were, "Today is Friday but Sunday is on the way." That line was based on the title of a sermon by Rev. Tony Campolo: "It's Friday but Sunday's a-comin'!" The idea is, ya know, hope. Things suck now, but they're gonna be great soon. (Crucifixion and resurrection? Friday and Sunday? Get it?) OK.
But there were two problems: 1) The only people who understood the line were people who had at least considered going to seminary, 2) the syllables didn't quite work (fri-DAY, sun-DAY).
So we decided to change the words: "Today is their day, but our day is on the way." Easier to get, syllable problem solved. And, it still had that essential message that Barack Obama (via Jeremiah Wright) famously calls the audacity of hope.
Fast forward to election season, and it's our Obama song. Hope you like the video.
