The Wolf & The Bastard



I was really excited reading their tracklist for Wilder Mind and found a song was entitled The Wolf. I've always like wolves. So when one of my favorite bands released a song with my favorite animal on the title, I got excited. The video for the song came out at the end of last month. But I just saw it just now. My bad, I know. I don't know what got me really busy last weekend... Anyway, at first glimpse of the thumbnail, I thought it was other people wearing those costumes, not them. Boy, how I wrong. AND HOW ADORABLE IS WINSTON AS A BRIDE! And Marcus as Robin Hood, of course. He knows he's been stealing hearts all around the world, I guess. Then I come to the end of the video and I found out that Marcus Haney directed this video. And the video makes perfect sense for me...

I watched his documentary, No Cameras Allowed. I watched it because he was an amateur photographer, who takes interest in concert photography, and he crashed into concerts' backstage without tickets and permissions, somehow made it, and end up being friends with some bands including Mumford & Sons. He even went on tour with them. At the end of the documentary, he was crashing the Grammys. The freaking Grammys! Like, how do you crash into the Grammys? And of course, he approach the band when he's already inside and they're like, 'Yeah, it's okay, you're with us!' Needless to say, I was in awe and also jealousy watching his journey. I'd be glad if I could just be there without being caught by the security. But this guy also end up being good friends with the band. With Mumford & Sons! It's crazy! I'm jealous! And when I'm in that state, I can't help but mutter; lucky bastard. 

So, The Wolf video makes perfect sense. It reminded me to his documentary and he's showing all the interesting and fun things at Bonnaroo. Here's an interview with him if you're interested.

And talking about another bastard... Does anybody who read my blog watch Game of Thrones, devastated when Jon got stabbed multiple times, and somehow believe that he'll be back at one point (although I hope not by warging to Ghost), even though the theories just keep getting crazier? If you're saying yes, then I think we could be friends.

Until the next post, my wolf pack.
