The Foreign Exchange's 'Daykeeper' Video Does Little To Quell Your Imagination
Currently in the lead for personal favorite song of the year, "Daykeeper" is a beautiful tale of two people longingly waiting for...for what? According to the song, for daylight so she or he "can watch over me." After watching this video, which basically looks as though it takes place entirely in the subconscious, I'm assuming this is what happens on a daily basis when your id (basic instinctive drives) and superego (one's conscience) are in the midst of a fight to the death. You are correct to assume that this video is dark, because it is. You are also correct to assume the neither Phonte nor Muhsinah appear in it because they do not. It is worth a look, but I'm going to keep my "Sun Goddess theory" in my mind for now when I need imagery to accompany this song. Feel free to use this video's imagery if you choose.

I love the video. The fact that neither Phonte or Musinah appear in the video removes the element of personalities and makes the viewer focus on the music, IMHO. The imagery is ethereal to me...it looks just like the song feels.

Haven't seen it yet but this song is DEFINITELY one of my absolute favorite jams this year as well!!! This one track made me research Muhsinah and cop her old album. It's 'different' but her voice is dope nonetheless!
I need more Muhsinah!
