    "Strangers Forever" by The Menzingers from the album 'Hello Exile' available now
    Order at themenzingers.ffm.to/helloexile
    Directed by Michael Parks Randa | www.parksranda.com
    Lyrics
    My inner monologue is writing / SOS on deserted islands / And there’s no one out there to read the signs / Just distant oceans and great blue skies / But my miserable memory is making me more miserable / my mundane mind is waiting on some kind of miracle / Oh, maybe it’s for the better we both stay strangers forever / Maybe it’s for the best we pretend like we never met / forget everything that we’ve ever known / Maybe it’s for the better we both stay strangers forever / Well I built a raft out of total desperation / And I got kidnapped by a pirate nation / Now somewhere out there I ramble and roar / You wouldn’t recognize me anymore / But if I come into your periphery / please just act like you don’t see me / out here looking for a glimpse of shore / a mirage of the life that we had before.

    My inner monologue is writing
    S.O.S on deserted islands
    And there's no one out there to read the signs
    Just distant oceans and great blue skies
    But my miserable memory is making me more miserable
    My mundane mind is waiting on some kind of miracle
    Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
    Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met
    Forget everything that we've ever known
    Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Well I built a raft out of total desperation
    And I got kidnapped by a pirate nation
    Now somewhere out there I ramble and roar
    You wouldn't recognize me anymore
    But if I come into your periphery
    Please just act like you don't see me
    Out here looking for a glimpse of shore
    A mirage of the life that we had before
    Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
    Maybe it's for the best we pretend like we never met
    Forget everything that we've ever known
    Maybe it's for the better we both stay strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Strangers forever
    Strangers forever

      My brother David Dillehey passed away from a O.D. And it’s was September 29th of 2020. I listen to this songs on that night because we knew so much about each other, but he was such a hard working fella that I didn’t mind. He did everything for everyone; and he had so much pain and sadness hidden along with his addition, but he never let it fully consume him. My families heart and soul were crushed because we had something beautiful not last long. But alas he touched all our lives and he lives on through the Indiana Organ Donation center. My mother actually got a letter from a man that revived one of his kidneys and we all were in joy. Because he still lives on, not just through that encounter; but everything he’s taught us. My brother David had so much darkness but he kept himself still. I don’t look only at his death; but his life 🖤

As an aspiring filmmaker, I just love the color palettes, cinematography, and the camera movements and pans. It's actually a video that's ok with staying on an image for more than 2 seconds without a bunch of annoying quick edits, and that is so commendable. Bravo!
