Kansas - Portrait (He Knew) (1977) (Remaster) [720p HD] video free download
[Video #23] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!
My 23rd video in a series I'm working on for some of my favorite songs from the past.
Time for one by Kansas. Portrait (He Knew) was released in 1977 on the album Point Of Know Return. It was clearly about Albert Einstein although not a lot of people seemed to be aware of the fact. It was a great song for a video, and one of my favorite on this particular album, the other's being "Nobody Home", "Closet Chronicles", and "Dust In The Wind".
Point of Know Return was HUGE in 1978! I remember listening to it over and over and over......loved the many instrumental breaks and solos.
The video is just layers and layers of masked images and masked video. Tried for some really cool effects and found some pretty neat ones....'specially fond of that tree recoil effect from the atom bomb at that cool little note drag!
Anyway, as usual....I hope you find something to enjoy.
[Lyrics]
He had a thousand ideas, you might have heard his name
He lived alone with his vision
Not looking for fortune or fame
Never said too much to speak of
He was off on another plane
The words that he said were a mystery
Nobody's sure he was sane
But he knew, he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view, Oh where was he going to
He was in search of an answer
The nature of what we are
He was trying to do it a new way
He was bright as a star
But nobody understood him
"His numbers are not the way"
He's lost in the deepest enigma
Which no one's unraveled today
But he knew, he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view, Oh where was he going to
And he tried, but before he could tell us he died
When he left us the people cried,
Oh where was he going to?
He had a different idea
A glimpse of the master plan
He could see into the future
A true visionary man
But there's something he never told us
It died when he went away
If only he could have been with us
No telling what he might say
But he knew, he knew more than me or you
No one could see his view
Oh, where was he going to
But he knew, you could tell by the picture he drew
It was totally something new,
Oh where was he going to?

I round the bend and stop to catch my breath, I look to my right and walk out to the edge of the cliff. I stare out at a storm of wondrous power. The view was of a Blood Red sky with Deep Blue storm clouds that grow to thunderheads as far as I could see. I realized I must get to the valley below before the weather turns for the worst. I tighten my belt around my waist and my straps on my backpack and take in a deep breath. I return to my path and start a slow and even jog down the path, the ground rumbles under my feet from the thunder of the storm that was still far off. I quicken my pace to a full out run, to get off this mountain before the night closes in on me. I stumble, I almost fall, I recover my balance and I keep on running. I break though some bushes of neon green an with bright gold leaves, to my surprise there was the edge of the cliff I can,t stop myself in time. I am falling head over heals in a free fall and I smile to myself. I Knew this is not the first time this has happened to me and it will not be the Last!!! :)THx Brother for the Mind Candy!!!!!!! :)9 years ago
