When Robb Benson pulled me aside mid-rehearsal to show me a new video he’d shot with Seattle musician Gus Clark, I had no idea what to expect. But five seconds into the piece, I knew it would be incredible. The voice, the guitar picking, the excellent camera and editing. The wonderful Darla in a clown costume! All of it! Here is the video for you to enjoy, as I did!

I’ve Seen You Before & You’ll Remember Without Touching – Darla Rae Barry Benson, Robb Benson

I am
What am I?
Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies
Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;
Scientists can't find me.
Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—
Remind me:
The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…
Tick, Tock: Divine me.
