Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Traced to Persian origins, the old adage, “This too shall pass,” evokes a sense of change, the constant flow of the seasons in and around our lives. Throughout history, such a maxim has been explored in much of popular literature, including the acclaimed series The Lord of the Rings. Folk weaver J Lind decorates a fantastical story with a celebration set at his alma mater, Princeton University, with the visual to his song, “This Too.” It’s an acoustic-wrought performance that dazzles and fizzes the senses, and J Lind delivers a delightfully endearing performance. The camera works to follow his path through the crowd, a swell of joy soaking the screen and hammering home the song’s freeing sensibility. “In a distant land lived a mighty king / He asked his men for a magic ring / That could serve him in both his misery and joy,” he cracks open a story book and out pops a universal story of truth and heart. It’ll be sure to warm every part of your being.
“This Too” is the latest appetizer to J Lind’s new album, For What It’s Worth, out everywhere later this year.
