Yet Another Brilliant Song From Kate Godfrey

The song itself is awesome enough-- lyrically & aurally. But I am especially fond of the video's visual aesthetic & composition. Sheer elegance in its simplicity!

"Proceed" by Kate Godfrey

PROCEED
Lyrics:
for my­self I will choose
and of course this is what I'll do
push my lim­its till I'm great full
pull my rope to a thread
take it all in till it's painful
or un­til I wind up dead

for the sake of a fu­ture to pur­sue
there is more
I'd love to see with you
cut the breath of the tan­gle
let the rest fall in­to place
no rea­son to feel shame­full
of a past you can't erase

see what I need
this is what I see
though some blood
is sure to bleed
I still plan to pro­ceed

for my­self I will choose
and of course this is what I'll do
push my lim­its till I'm great full
pull my rope to a thread
take it all in till it's painful
or un­til I wind up dead

see what I need
this is what I see
though some blood
is sure to bleed
I still plan to pro­ceed

at the brink of this world, would you join me...
