as the camera spins around and esther rose starts to sing alongside dean johnson, she looks him right in the eyes. i’ve been sitting on this “acting school” video for about a year now. “your shadow” will be next, another highlight from the album “nothing for me, please” by dean johnson. i love to revisit videos that age well. i got to know “acting school” & “your shadow” before the album officially came out so these songs hit differently in my eardrums. before a video is on the internet, it’s still mine. now it’s in the world’s hands. thank you so much to esther rose for making this happen. during the shoot my grandad & my mom & my son were in the other room so i played the role of grandson & father & son & filmmaker all at the same time. it was a special moment. somehow dean johnson & esther rose were sitting there playing an unreleased classic in my 90 year old grandad’s dining room, with pictures from his storied life on the walls. after or before watching this video in full on the smallsongs youtube channel, go listen to “nothing for me, please” from beginning to end on your chosen platform. people waited a long time for dean’s songs to see this light. it was well worth the wait.
