Creativity Archives - Ida Jane & The Weekend Gardeners

We are thrilled to announce the release of our new music video for “Good Things To Last” from our album “Treasures That We Seek”! The video was directed and produced by our friend Gavin Knox and stars Jordan Prince as the spritely young man. The video follows the story of a spritely young man who awakens with the dawn to go for a brisk jaunt. He encounters familiar faces and one confused soul who is attempting to plug a house lamp into a bush, leading to a surprising and unexpected ending in a game of chess.

The song “Good Things To Last” is a reflection on the importance of cherishing the good things in life and not taking them for granted. The lyrics, written by Ida Jane Wilke, express the desire to hold onto the good things forever, but also the realization that everything will pass.

The vocals by Ida Jane Wilke, the bass by Kevin Nichols, the mandolin and vocal harmonies by Ryan Hanson, and the drums by Shawn Crawford, all recorded, mixed, and mastered by Sam Lay at Anjuna Recording Studio, come together to create a powerful and emotional performance that perfectly complements the message of the song.

We hope that the music video, directed and produced by Gavin Knox and starring Jordan Prince, will resonate with our fans and that they will enjoy it as much as we do. The visual storytelling and creative use of imagery perfectly captures the message and meaning of the song.

The music video for “Treasures That We Seek” is a visually stunning masterpiece that perfectly captures the essence of the song. Maia Fertig has done an incredible job of bringing the lyrics and message of the song to life through her creative filming and editing. The video features stunning landscapes and captivating imagery that immerses the viewer in the world of the song.

Lyrics

I want to walk into the dark into the great unknown
Past the city to the hills
Out from the fog I will walk into the trees
Until there is no sign on me that you can see

I keep my hands in the pocket of your coat
And as I whisper in the cold my soul to keep
Send my mother the letter that I wrote
Saying that I won't be back home outside the week

No street lights to adjust our eyes to
Just a friend beside who agrees
That we'd never mind
If we ever find
The lessons or the treasures that we seek

There was a care, there was a dream
We went out searching for it in the night
To regain again, the stolen things
To search for the meaning in the meaningless plight

No street lights to adjust our eyes to
Just a friend beside who agrees
That we'd never mind
If we ever find
The lessons or the treasures that we seek

No street lights to adjust our eyes to
Just a friend beside who agrees
That we'd never mind
If we ever find
The lessons or the treasures that we seek
