Feist feat. Cillian Murphy – The Water

by Chad Jordan, April 13, 2009

The name Feist may conjure up images of colorful and joyous Ipod commercials as well as infectious sing-along tunes. However, the Canadian singer-songwriter’s catalog is deep with light hearted songs as well as emotional and affecting ballads. Feist’s latest single “The Water” from her universally acclaimed 2007 album The Reminder finally gets a visual treatment. However, It would be a complete disservice to label the fifteen minute clip a music video. Feist enlists professional actor Cillian Murphy to star and Broken Social Scene leader Kevin Drew to direct a haunting, somber, moving fifteen minute short film that perfectly accompanies Feist’s song.

    Nice visual. I hope the Feist fans arent as pretentious as radiohead fans because from this ‘how to spell’ conversation I am beginning to thing so.

    It’s spelled “Feist”, but I’ll at least give you guys credit for not titling this post “Fiest x Cillian Murphy – The Water”.
