A song that seems more poignant and timely than ever given the times we live in, Mauri Dark’s ‘Thin Line of Understanding’ video outmarks and describes the horrors of war through the lens of a wounded female soldier. The folk artist from Finland has a voice that immediately grabs your attention. It’s soft but assured, a controlled and powerful message echoing through the track. It evokes so much emotion with so little, just the power of words delivered with purpose and eloquence backed by a soft acoustic melody to aid the feeling.
Mauri Dark is quickly becoming known for his stark, cinematic, and striking music videos. His music video “Love Will Prevail” has won Best Music Video in Europe Film Festival, Luminous Frames Festival and Golden Wheat Awards and has been selected to many others. The visual element he’s started to incorporate through his work brings out another dimension to the listener and viewer. He’s able to convey entire environments and situations with just a guitar and a voice.
