The Monster and his Bride have enjoyed a busy music video
career as stand-ins for star-crossed lovers, often to comedic effect. Here, set
to Robby Hecht’s plaintive, country-styled “Soon I Was Sleeping”, the tone is
downright mournful as our jigsaw couple’s perennially problematic love affair
is irrevocably wrecked by alcohol. Brian T. O’Neil plays the beat-up Monster
and Kayla McKenzie Moore is the ethereal Bride. Ryan Newman directed in
appropriately moody black and white.
Robby Hecht is a Nashville-based singer/songwriter whose
insightful compositions have made him an important new voice in contemporary
folk. With a talent for surrounding himself with blue-chip talent, he is
accompanied on the song at hand by Canadian vocalist Rose Cousins. “Soon I Was
Sleeping” appears on Hecht’s new album, released in March.
