There is something comical about the music video for “Seasons” by jman & the pigs. The two musicians wear sweat bands while going out on a mountain hike with the beginning of the video on black and white until they discover a synth, an amp and other musical gear near a river. And they seem caught in a loop from Autumn to the snows of Winter then to the thaw and greening of Spring but all in color. Then when the song ends it’s back to black and white. It’s reminiscent of the way Secret Agent was black and white until the fifteen episode interlude that was the series The Prisoner and when the agent escapes The Village it’s back to the black and white of Secret Agent again. The pastoral sound of the music with drums and keyboards and introspective vocals is very serious and sincere with sentiments that are poignant about the passage of time in one’s life and life’s seasons passing by. It’s a layered level of meaning conveyed in this presentation of the song including how life has complexity and nuance and isn’t all one aspect or another and that poetic truth can coexist with a healthy sense of humor. Fans of the film work of Mark Duplass will definitely appreciate the video treatment. Watch the video for “Seasons” on YouTube and follow jman & the pigs at the links provided.
