Gorgeous 'Not For You' Music Video Out Now!

I'm so excited to release the Not For You music video into the world!  A first-time collaboration with director, Carlos Coronado , this video has so many things i love - beautiful physical environment, stop-motion animation, and it's a perfect visualization of this song, yet stands alone as an art piece. 

I have several music videos in the works by various directors at the moment, and one thing i said to them all when discussing concepts, is that i don't want the videos to reek of restrictions (of our current circumstances).  I want these art pieces to be timeless, and am I'm proud to say that i think we might have succeeded here. :)

Thank you so much to FACTOR, Ontario Arts Council & Toronto Arts Council for their support of this project at several stages.

Not For You Lyrics

Think about you when the morning strikes
In the evening too
Try to remember all the little things that you had to do

Cause I tried I tried, it’s tough
When you really don’t try hard enough

I wanna be your special
Wanna be your girl
Wrapped around me at the end of the world
I wanna be your wholesome
Wanna be your good
Be complete apart, it’s understood
But I guess I’m just not for you

Yesterday when we took a trip to the forest land
Sunlight streaming through the trees
Won’t you take my hand?

Cause I tried I tried, it’s tough
When you really don’t try hard enough

I wanna be your special
Wanna be your girl
Wrapped around me at the end of the world
I wanna be your wholesome
Wanna be your good
Be complete apart, it’s understood
But I guess I’m just not for you

You
You’re not for me I’m not for you
No matter what we do

I wanna be your special
Wanna be your girl
Wrapped around me at the end of the world
Oh I wanna be your wholesome
Wanna be your good
Be complete apart, it’s understood
But I guess I’m just not for you

Guess I’m just not for you
