“I’m too wholesome or too boring or too quiet or loud; I’m too sexy or too modest or I’m lost in the crowd; I’m too literal, then I just make no sense at all; I fall in love and then feel trapped and stumble and fall?” There’s a new music video out to watch for a song called “My Life“, which is the debut single by artist Julia Cumming. It’s her first solo single – though some might also recognize her from the band Sunflower Bean before this. The music video is directed by none other than Edgar Wright, maestro of genre cinema known for the Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World’s End) and The Running Man last year. Edgar explains on Twitter: “It’s mostly one single shot (take 14, since you asked) and I couldn’t even begin to make a vid like this without an AMAZING crew who worked their socks off.” The film follows musician Julia Cumming on her daily adventures, dancing through life & questioning who she is. View the vid below.
