Spooky Songs: Fixers

   I think above all, October, and especially Halloween itself, are about taking on an otherness. Its about seeing the world in a guise outside of yourself. Children don't just dress up for Halloween as monsters, they also dress up as their heroes, fictional or not; they dress up as cartoon characters, as seasons, as events, as almost anything under the sun. It is a time to be something you are not in every day life. It is a time when dreams can become just a little more real. What if time travel were real? What if you were Marty McFly. What if you were a ninja or a pirate having a feud? In everyday life, you might not be, but this is what Halloween and October are about. Not just about scary things, but a general otherness, we all get to be Batman if we want.

   I made that little introduction because a) i think its important and b) this music video isn't necessarily spooky, nor scary, but it is strange. It imagines a world with a unique ailment and five brave young men who set out to find the rare cure for one ailing old man. It is a magical tale of travel through space and time, enjoy!
