Starry Venus is an artist and philosopher from Sedona, Arizona, who fuses music and performance art into spiritual storytelling. In her music video Do You Feel It, Starry Venus embodies various aspects of Venus as “Goddesses” who awaken consciousness through elemental energy. As the song, Do You Feel It suggests, the Goddesses bathe themselves in the natural beauty of the rock, forest, and rivers as a way to convey liberation and transformation.
Do You Feel It features Starry Venus front and center, alongside her fellow Goddesses, in harmony with nature, engaged in performance art. The music, lyrics, and setting inspire every movement of theirs. The theme of the song goes into how embracing elemental energy brings us into a state of transcendence. “Let your waters wash over me. This healing is all we need.”
“Water, light, and dance symbolizing healing, memory, and remembrance.”
Starry Venus not only composed and performed Do You Feel It, but also directed, filmed, and edited the video. Rather than following a traditional narrative, the video unfolds through dreamlike encounters between different forms of Venus, each carrying memories and power. The Goddesses spark freedom and awakening, with water, light, and dance symbolizing healing, memory, and remembrance. The imagery reflects the lyrics’ call to “Let your waters wash over me. This healing is all we need.”
As a music video, Do You Feel It comes across as a vision. The final product has a raw, DIY quality typical of indie film. The Goddesses are in costume and perform in the nearby forest and stream, before shifting into Starry Venus’ studio for the more effect-laden segment of the song.
Do You Feel It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but in the end, Starry Venus has a vision for guiding her audience through a meditation on the beauty of nature.
Do You Feel It is available on the Starry Venus YouTube channel.
"…A guided meditation of the beauty that is nature."
