Video Clip of The Week: “Changing Earth” By Ohio Sky



Here at The Gig, we are friends of the Earth and support all matters involved with preservation of wildlife and natural resources. So, we are digging the message of Cleveland-based rock band Ohio Sky’s new video for their song, “Changing Earth,” taken from from the group’s new record, The Big Distraction.

About the song, the band said, “‘Changing Earth’ is a timely lament to our relationship with Earth’s past and questionable future. And, in the irony of always living one generation from the apocalypse…finding a balance between the worry of our unforeseeable future and our inability to alter it.” Aurally the song is “roomy and forward-thinking,” with Ohio Sky embracing a distinctive modern prog rock vibe — and you know how much we love the prog rock. Bring it on, we say!

The “Changing Earth” video was illustrated by Ohio Sky keyboardist Patrick Finegan, and the action reflects the song’s sentiment of an ever-changing landscape and the mysteries contained within. The Big Distraction is out now and can be purchased on CD, Vinyl and limited edition Clear Vinyl (Wow!) at This Link! Enjoy!

Fortunately, we had been at Frieze all day and were too exhausted to give much of a shit. Plus, there were other things going on — this being New York City — and we ended up having a pretty fun night on our own.
