Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.

I wish I got to dance with Matt while he was in Atlanta, but unfortunately I didn’t know about him until recently.  I have no idea what it is about this video that makes it so emotional.  I don’t know if he was even trying to be deep in making this or just out having fun.  Anyhow, it is the 3rd video I have ever watched that has made me cry (ET… when he’s covered in white powder and everyone’s chasing him… being the 1st & The Land Before Time… when Little Foot’s mom dies and he has to go on the journey alone… being the 2nd).  I’m not sure if it’s the music that gets me or the fact that his funny dancing makes it seem like the entire world right now can take itself too seriously and we have long forgotten to have a little fun with each other.  The other part that gets to me about this, is remembering how easy it used to be for me to just pick up and leave and travel all over the place on a whim.  It’s been too long… I think I need to get out of the country more.
