Emil & Friends - Let Your Heart (Prescriptions)

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

An eight-minute, dreamlike journey through Bali unfolds across the combined tracks "Let Your Heart" and "Prescriptions." The video moves through encounters with motorbikes, shamans, traditional dancers and local characters, favoring atmosphere and sensation over a conventional narrative. Strange, playful details - including a game of invisible badminton and alcohol carried in plastic bags - give the film a surreal, lightly comic edge. The result feels less like a standard performance clip than an immersive travel short shaped by music, ritual and eccentric observation.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video functions as a single promo for two songs, "Let Your Heart" and "Prescriptions," rather than presenting either track as a separate conventional music video.
  • Running for approximately eight minutes, it was presented as a short film as much as a music video.
  • The production was filmed in Bali and incorporates local settings, performers and cultural imagery instead of relying on studio-built environments.
  • The video was released in 2011 in connection with Emil & Friends' album "Lo & Behold." The two tracks appear on the album's tracklist, with "Prescriptions" at number five and "Let Your Heart" at number fourteen.
  • The Bali project was part of a broader creative collaboration between Emil Hewitt and filmmaker Michael Lawrence, who also worked with Emil & Friends on the "Crystal Ball" video.
