Seume “Will Ya Be My Friend” Music Video
Thanks to those who made it out to the premiere of David Seume’s “Will Ya Be My Friend” music video by Mur Mur Man at The Brick on Friday, March 12, 2010. It was really special to play the video twice on a big screen, with a lovely set of Seume music between, as well as have DJG video production art littering the wall (pictures are sure to come crawling out of the wood work)! Thanks also go out to the great music sets from Joel Kanne and Thom Hoskins!
Extra thanks to Philip James Cheaney, who couldn’t be there but was in spirit. He helped immensely with birthing this video and adding tremendous additional flavors to it. Be on the hunt for more work from DJG & PJC of Mur Mur Man in the future! After fourteen months we can close the book, but not the browser! Go see it and share with your friends “Will Ya Be My Friend”!
(Special Thanks to Sheri at The Brick!)

“…I walked into The Brick knowing that the video was going to be cool, but I was pleasantly surprised by David Seume’s thoughtful, breezy tunes and standout vocals…” -Karl Eggers of The Dive Poets / St. Louis, MO
“This is just beautiful. It could be a 2d sidescrolling video game. There were many levels here, a water level, a riding in a cart level, a space level. There’s alot of imagination here…great work on this inspiring work.” -Micah Buzan, Musican-Artist / Kansas City, MO
“Utterly charming, visually whimsical and breathtaking, the video for “Will Ya Be My Friend?” is a colorful stop-motion animation of imagery that illustrates the simple premise of the song without distracting from its message. Singer David Seume’s voice goes from sweet falsetto to let’s-be-real raspy. What a treat for the eyes and ears…” – Present Magazine / Kansas City, MO
