From The Editor

Signs and Symbols: The themes in this song hit on different levels, for sure. I picked the themes in the scenes I chose to match the value of what I was hearing and it's relevance to my life. I'm glad he let me do it my way. Born in St. Louis, MO and raised between there and Peoria, IL, rapper MJ EIGHTYSEVEN came to Widecast Studios for a consultation on promoting his music on social media. We agreed 45 minutes later that a concept video for social media would be a great option to add legs to a great song. He got a discount because of the relevance the song had to my on life and outlook and I'm sure it will have the same effect on more people. I wanted to make sure I captured the themes and concept for the viewers.Check out a short clip of the concept video created at Widecast Studios and compare it to the Thematic Breakdown of 365 by MJ EIGHTYSEVEN below https://youtu.be/cL02zUpOSVw

( A Thematic Breakdown )

For me, decisions tend to be made in tunnels of thought. There's that long drive to the outskirts with the windows down, airing the smoke. My mind is made up by the time I hit the driveway; no questions. I'm always looking for solutions, not more problems. When this is done, '... I don't have nothin more to give.'MJ EIGHTYSEVEN on 365 No feelings on the turnout either way. I did the college boy thang without turnin out in this town. I tried. Just Turn Left.

At the end of the day, sometimes it's just best to move around. Turning left [East] from Prospect to War Memorial typically means the driver is leaving Peoria. Putting action to the script. Back to that opening scene in the outskirts... there's always someone willing to jump in front of a moving vehicle.
