Sergei Polunin // SO BLUE (Downhere)

Dance Music video/ montage with ballet dancer, Sergei Polunin (Сергей Полунин). Set to "So Blue" by Downhere.

Original Videos: Hozier's "Take Me to Church" music video by David LaChapelle; Sergei Polunin's "Take Me to Church" London performance from 2017; brief outtake from the "Dancer" documentary. Choreography of the original "Take Me to Church" dance by Jade Hale-Christofi.

Sergei has mentioned when he originally did this dance, he wasn't listening to the lyrics. Watching the emotion spilling out of him through this dance, I wanted to set it to a song that matched the thoughts and feelings that came to mind as I watched him dance. So, a year ago I set the original Polunin / LaChapelle / Hozier "Take Me to Church" music video to this song. However, I didn't make any edits to the original footage. Instead, I only synced the Downhere song to the video to hit the beats I hoped to emphasize. After a year of learning video editing, I wanted to try to improve the effect of bringing together one of my favorite songs and the depth of raw emotion Sergei brings to these performances. So, here is "So Blue" revisited.

LYRICS
Shallow capacity is bearing all I see
And I know
It's disease, it's loss,
It's death knocking at my door
I click these thoughts to something else, something more

And I'm so blue, so blue

Detached harmonies, all the airways scream dissonance
And we know of broken life, broken homes
Broken hearts and broken bones
Recycling the paper of a crying world's suicide note and

We're so blue, we're so blue
So blue, so blue

See the world spinning 'round
A sucking hole that souls go down
Embrace the sorrow of today
Because repentance finds a way

Only His blood can heal our wounds
Only His blood can heal our wounds
And if repentance finds a way
What's left today to be

Blue, so blue
Blue, so blue

A final symphony
The precipice too close, you're scaring me, back away
Sin is real, it doesn't feel, it always only always steals
Run to the cross the only joy that's real

So blue, so blue
Oh, so blue, so blue
