In the music video for Unwed Sailor’s “Don’t Let Go” we see images of hands being drawn and hands in action through what appears to be the filter of an old VHS tape with the visual glitches like the video equivalent of developing old film or a series of Polaroids that have had some time to age into the images looking like an artifact from another era. The song itself has a joyous and upbeat mood with an expansive melody that feels like a spirit of anticipation and hopefulness. Sometimes the band’s music can seem introspective and this is not the opposite so much in that what reflection one can hear in this song is projected forward to what lies ahead and the celebration of the personal connection inherent to the song title.
