CHRIS CASTINO "CHINESE WHISPERS" VIDEO

A very moving song and video, “Chinese Whispers” is full of heart and memories. Created using family home videos, “Chinese Whispers” emphasizes the impermanence of loved ones in your life, and how long after someone is gone from our lives the memories they helped create still exist. After I first heard this song I asked Chris what the phrase Chinese Whispers meant, here is their explanation, “So Chinese Whispers is a song about what it feels when you are worried about someone you love, but you are physically distant from them. 'Chinese Whispers' is actually a game of 'telephone' where info or a story is passed along from person to person and by the time it gets to you it doesn't totally make sense. And in this case only adds to the concern.”

“Dreams are like poems; open to interpretation and free to impact us in many different ways. This video is real super-8 footage that my dad took in the 70's and 80's. Most of those people are LONG gone, but yet there they are -- smiling and dancing as if there were still here. When we lose someone they move into your dream world and, for me, the next transition is into lyrics. The song is dedicated to the enduring memories of Sonny Castino and Jeff Austin.” - Chris Castino
