- Taylor Eigsti - "LOOK AROUND YOU" ft. Becca Stevens - Official Music Video
From the album 'Plot Armor' - Now Available Everywhere: orcd.co/plotarmor
"'Look Around You" tells the story of 4 mothers showing their young the importance of appreciating your environment. This piece was originally part of "Imagine Our Future", a mixed-multimedia commissioned song cycle premiered in 2022, where I took ideas from over 100 young students and wove them into a 9-piece set of music based on different themes gathered from those ideas. This song was the theme of "Environment," where a young girl, a rock, a fish, and a bird are all personified - this is about acknowledging all of the little things around us, and how they make us who we are." - Taylor Eigsti

LYRICS
A young girl looks up at her mother
'Look Around You' she said
A planet big enough to hold one another
Spins quietly as you rest your head
A young rock looks up at her mother
'Look Around You' she said
A thousand like-minded cooled bits of lava
Rest where their journey of fire has led
Believe in the little things around you
Endless possibilities surround you
Believe in it - just Look Around You
Believe in it - just Look Around You
Believe in it - just Look Around You
Believe in it - let me remind you
A young fish looks up at her mother
'Look Around You' she said
A coral reef is our castle undercover
Keeps us safe from the world overhead
A young bird looks up at her mother
'Look Around You' she said
A bright blue pond filled with life like no other
The water shines bright and the sky's painted red
Believe in the little things around you
Endless possibilities surround you
Believe in it - just Look Around You
Believe in it - just Look Around You
Believe in it - just Look Around You
Believe in it - let me remind you

The Great Taylor Eigsti!
Hey Taylor!! Just listened to this after seeing your IG post. It made me think of “Magnolia” (One of my favorites) because of Becca’s voice. Keep up the great work on the new music - you have really evolved as an artist over the nearly 20 years I’ve been listening to your music!! Your mom would be so proud about this piece. Really love the artistic expressions for the visual compliments to the song. Sending a big hello and hope to see you this year when you’re back in SoCal! -Johnna 😊
WOW Great !!!
Beautiful animation ❤
Becca Stevens. Heck yup.
Anyone can tell how this rhythm works? What time signature is that?
I hear it as a 4 + 4 + 4 + 2 with the accents falling before the beat (appart from the first one)
@@okarojo Wow! Thank you for your insight.
