Mike Clark of The Haunted Windchimes and The Ghost Of Michael Clark made a video in which he rides a bike. While it may not sound impressive at first, he’s also strumming his guitar and singing his song “Hey Daisy.” The video was shot in one take on Tehon St. in Colorado Springs, and the song’s bluesy tone really grabs the listener even as Clark is rolling down the street in the Colorado sunshine.

There is a sweet intuition in watching brothers playing or sisters singing together. Some of that familial DNA seems to weave its way through the verses, the octave changes and the rhythm shifts. When my sister and I sing together, it’s like singing with myself but in stereo. Watching Colorado Springs’ Conor and Ian Bourgal of The Changing Colors play together, it’s as if one person splintered into two – a river of fraternal goodness.
