Set Urself Free

Noah Reyes, Alyssa Garcia

The chaotic beauty in this music video empowers troubled minds to seek heaven on earth by setting yourself free. KIKI, the artist and main actress in this music video, wrote this song for her childhood bestfriend, Noah who is played by the actor KJ, ten years ago at the peak of his mental turmoil. The dark lyrics come from his painful experience brought on by sickening thoughts and a busy mind, on a constant search for peace. This madness is expressed by the first vapor twitch drop found at 1:09 with stabs and disrupting patterns. This in contrast to the saturated colors throughout the music video symbolize the vibrant celebration of what life could be with a shift in perspective. The second drop at 2:58 resolves the havoc with nostalgic, meditative guitar riffs to bring him back home. Scenes of splatter painting, enjoying friends, and just loving life reveal the light that wakes him up. This track is hope. KIKI dressed in the color scheme of white and blue indicates her angelic guidance towards authenticity and love. She wants to lead him to heaven on earth, but no matter how desperately friends and family want to help, only he can truly set himself free. Only he can choose to awaken and embrace this journey called life.
