Jane Siberry's brilliant anthem, 'Symmetry (The Way Things Have to Be)' from her 1984 album No Borders Here never had a video.This Busby Berkeley confection plugs that gap. The visuals are from Dames (1934)'s title number. (Note that as well as looking better than ever on Blu-ray these days, Michel Gondry and Matthew Barney have drawn extensively on Dames over the last 20 years, and Edgar Wright has screened it at various festivals.) While many people nowadays associate symmetry in film with Wes Anderson or Stanley Kubrick, in my view Busby Berkeley got there first and deepest. At any rate, I think the combination of Siberry and Berkeley works very well.
[This vid. marginally improves the resolution of a video I made 4 years ago. The small improvement sadly comes at the cost of losing all the lovely comments on the old version. :( For larger improvement check out vimeo!

How creative to take a piece from the visual genius Busby Berkley and combine it with the auditory genius of Jane Siberry. It's fascinating that both creations were made fifty years apart and yet they work so well together. Everything about Berkley's art was symmetry. And you can't chop down a sym-a-tree. Thank you for doing this and great job. Hope you do more stunning combos.

I wish Michel Gondry and Matthew Barney would give Jane a 2017 push in their spare time and make a music video for one of her songs from last album Angels Bend Closer....

HI! You know I love this edit, it's just perfect and playfull, and makes sense... But last night I ffell upon a new completely remake of Symmetry,, I hope this surprises you as much as it did for me, I had to dig into iTunes and is on Spotify as well for a listen... So you know what you have to do: a new music video edit! The remake is shorter on the lyrics, simple Jane vocal without harmonies, and with a Techno-ish very fast beat and very fast singing, Search: Jane Siberry Symmetry, Not Have Been The Same compilation of various Artists... I also found the song I didn't know was recorded with Corey Hart, more conventional feel good power song with both voices mixing beautifully, AND I found a collab with: Jane Siberry Michael Grey, Unqualified Favourites, and it's Celtic Techno with Jane Spoken IN FRENCH??? Title: Oh Dro! (featuring Jane Siberry), I might amuse myself by making a video for that last one....Later, Josaphah.

Such a great mash, or mix.... Great Job, has Jane seen it? You should reach out if you haven't, she will respond to this, maybe she will remake the song worth it!
