Nad Sylvan celebrates 62nd birthday with new music video for “Sailing To Byzantium”
Prog rock musician Nad Sylvan has unveiled their new music video for “Sailing To Byzantium” today.
The musician said this about working on the visual, which can be seen below:
This is my take on Yeats’s escape from mortality, seeking comfort in his own bubble and dreams of finding paradise. As I turn 62 today, June 4th, I feel very connected with the lyric and its metaphorical message.
I started filming in March, out on my deck with a green screen (guitar scenes). It was pretty cold and I was freezing, but filming indoors wasn’t spacious enough. I constantly had to wipe my runny nose! Andrew sent me his bits, filmed by his wife Janet and I think they turned out quite lovely just as the segments Wayne Joyner created for me (with Andrew in space being one of them).
This is my reversed birthday gift to you, my beloved fans who stay connected and keep supporting me year after year. Please come onboard and sail with me to Byzantium…
“Sailing To Byzantium” stems from Sylvan’s new studio album Spiritus Mundi, which is out right now on InsideOut Music.
