“This was easily one of my favorite videos to shoot! We worked with the incredible Columinati Films crew for this in LA. An 8 hour night shoot that had a minimal crew and set up, which I loved. We just had so much fun with it. It was a really chill set vibe and we were focused on creating more of a mood and tone than a linear story. Working with folks you trust just hits different and this team was a dream to work with. They knew that I grew up on 90’s r&b and so we ran with that aesthetically and that helped define the lighting choices, the car, the frames, etc. I styled myself and wore an old Dallas Cowboys t-shirt and my Nikes. I hope folks have fun watching it because it was a lot of fun to create.” – Rituals of Mine

Sleepless Lyrics

Wasting my breath on the sequence
Can’t find the strength to believe in
now
You set intentions of how I’ve been thinking
And I’m thinking that
Can’t make decisions through all of it
Keep losing focus of what it meant
It was never said
Can’t find the timing
and it’s tiring

All night
I’ve been thinking ’bout
the ways I let you down
You know it’s been on my mind
(Tell me is this really it?)
Moonlight
Never comes around
almost out of bound
everytime I say goodbye
(I can’t let this feeling in)

Never fold to the damage of pressure
But with thoughts that I hold, I feel lesser
Engaged in the protest
But it feels like, we lost our moment
Leave it all up to me to feel insane
You keep me in an impossible space
Where I cannot stay
It’s no secret it will not change

Can’t make decisions through all of it
Keep losing focus of what it meant
It was never said
Can’t find the timing
and it’s tiring

All night
I’ve been thinking ’bout
the ways I let you down
You know it’s been on my mind
(Tell me is this really it?)
Moonlight
Never comes around
almost out of bound
everytime I say goodbye
(I can’t let this feeling in)
