Fleet Foxes Share Short Film Inspired By and Featuring “If You Need To, Keep Time on Me”

Fleet Foxes have shared a new short film for “If You Need To, Keep Time on Me,” from last year’s Crack-Up. There was already an animated vertical video for the song back in April, but this is a short film inspired by and featuring the song. Ryan Heffington directed and choreographed the clip, which features a party in which a new engagement is announced, but not everyone is overjoyed by the happy news. Watch it below via Pitchfork.
Heffington had this to say about the film to Pitchfork: “It was the pure honesty of the music and Robin Pecknold’s voice that originally drew me to direct/choreograph ‘If You Need To, Keep Time on Me.’ Heartbreak being one of the most honest and visceral symptoms of love, I wanted to paint a realistic picture of humanity and share a story that so many of us have encountered. Using dance as an offering has defined my adult life and I believe in its healing power-for both the dancer and the witness. I wanted to capture this in the film, whether it is seen as surreal or organic.”
Crack-Up was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2017.
