SOME DAYS
The rains fell. Marian recorded the song in front of her mares and then the rains came down again. The lyrics remind us that life is change and all emotional states are temporary. This is a common human connection, one we can all relate to.

DRAGON DREAMS
The first Of the Sun concept video, fittingly for an epic song that was inspired by a lucid dream in the wake of a flotation/sensory deprivation tank session Marian experienced during her ongoing recovery process. The imagery, symbolism and lyrics to this song concern love, hope and compassion for humanity and all living beings.

GRACE
The first Of the Sun video to be filmed. Grace is all about perspective and self-fulfilling prophecies.
