I somehow ended up finding a link for the Manchester Orchestra. They have a new album coming out on May 10 called<em> <\/em><em>Simple Math. <\/em>I have not really thought about the lyrics of the song, but I have watched one of the videos (that includes the lyrics) and am quite intrigued by it. I really enjoy the different designs throughout the video. They really did a nice job with creating it.<\/p>\n<p>I am including a link to the video below (I couldn&#8217;t get it to embed properly). Are there any other videos out there you have seen that have some intriguing designs to them?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/EkkeHpzs0lI\">Simple Math &#8211; Manchester Orchestra<\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Tyler Clark My mom recently made a sock monkey for me.
