Body Language - You Can

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

At an imposing Long Island estate, a young couple and their friends spend time amid grand rooms, gardens, and fading architectural details. What begins as an elegant, carefree gathering gradually reveals tension between the central pair, whose relationship appears to be coming apart. Their story is intercut with performances by Body Language and surreal images of faces being covered in white paint, peeling surfaces, and other textural close-ups. The contrast between the polished setting and the deteriorating atmosphere gives the video a dreamlike portrait of romance in decline.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "You Can" appeared on Body Language's *Social Studies* project, which was first self-released and later issued through Om Records and Lavish Habits.
  • The video was filmed at Sands Point Castle in Port Washington, New York. The location's ornate interiors and weathered surfaces provide much of the video's distinctive visual character.
  • The official production credits identify Kevin Hayden as director of photography, with Ian Perlman and Will Reyes handling editing. Braden Wheeler was credited for visual effects and color.
  • Project Fathom served as executive producer, while Kali Riley was the producer.
  • The cast included Trice Christiansen, Rob Mann, Nick Uhas, Julia Collier, Justine Bracero, and Taylor Ashcraft.
  • The track was also presented as the A-side of a 2011 "You Can / Social Studies" single associated with Double Denim Records.
  • Contemporary descriptions emphasized the song's early-1980s synth-pop influence, a quality reflected in the video's combination of dreamy performance footage, stylized close-ups, and an old-estate setting.
