So I gathered family and friends again to make another video. My friend Brian Guiry was kind enough to let us dismantle his house for a second time to shoot the bulk of it, and the outdoor shots were filmed at the end of some trails here in Jacksonville. We only had a week to do everything, including the costumes and set design. I owe a lot of people after all the favors I pulled in for this one. It was a lot of sleepless nights in a row. Thanks again, all you who helped.

Holy Branches
When you were young
you'd bite your tongue
calm, always did what you were told
never ran your mouth
lived life on tiptoes
only felt peace if by yourself
where mistakes don't count
there's a hole in your chest
from the time that you was born
one that don't get filled
Cause you've always known
you're nothing they want
but everybody's bones are just holy branches
cast from trees to cut patterns in the world
and in time we find some shelter,
spill our leaves, and then sleep in the earth
and when there we'll belong
'cause the earth don't give a damn if you're lost
and now I live alone
work in the belly of machines
wring my soot black hands
and I don't sleep much
days don't feel different from the nights
with no goals in mind
there's a hole in my chest
from the time the time I walked away
one I fill with sweat
'cause now I know
I'm nothing they want
but everybody's bones are just holy branches
we ride the breeze to cut patterns in the earth
and in time we find some shelter,
spill our seeds and then wait for our turn
but for now we're adrift on the winds of discontent
trying to carve our place
all in hopes we'll be something they want
but I ain't holding my breath
trace your fingers down my spine
make your home behind my eyes
line my skull with harmless lies
I'll bide my time until I'm something they want

More than 8 years ago, Ben Cooper AKA Radical Face, started crafting the story of a fictitious, and sometimes otherworldly, 19th century family. In 2011, he brought those characters to life in The Family Tree: The Roots, which was the first installment of a three-part, stand-alone album series based around the Family Tree he created. He recorded alone in the shed behind his mom's house in Jacksonville, Florida.
Radical Face will release the second installment to the series, The Family Tree: The Branches on October 22. Certain instrumentations and melodies that represent a "family member" will reappear in the second album as a continuation of the story or descendent. Just as The Family Tree: The Roots was limited to instruments that would have been accessible during that era of the story, The Family Tree: The Branches will progress in production by including instruments that would have become available in the next era of the story set from 1860-1910.
