Do Make Say Think have been a band for over two decades and have never released a music video. Today, the band debuted their first-ever video for the song “As Far As The Eye Can See,” off of their recent album Stubborn Persistent Illusions. Charles Spearin made the visual and shared a note about it:

How do you learn to trust? How do you steer when all you can see is a rear-view mirror?
This video is a lighthearted exploration of fear and courage and having your world turned on its head.

based on a poem by Guillaume Apollinaire:

“Come to the edge,” he said.
“We can’t, we’re afraid!” they responded.
“Come to the edge,” he said.
“We can’t, We will fall!” they responded.
“Come to the edge,” he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”
