Fans may recognize some of the cast members from her “Madam Mystic” video and from her inner circle. The waiter is played by King’s husband and drummer, Perry Drake, and John Magnie of the New Orleans band the Subdudes plays the quirky part of the magical elevator “conductor.” “John conducts the elevator like a symphony conductor,” says King. “He is the master of the time machine. The first time-traveler is a pioneer woman, my friend Debbie Tolany, who steps right out of an Old West wagon train. The next time traveler is a 1920s’ flapper girl, also played by Debbie, who dances her way into the portal. The next stop is the future, and we pick up a strange being, played by Steve Amedèe of the Subdudes, who drinks champagne through his eye! This character also made a brief cameo in my ‘Building a Fire’ video where he arm-wrestled the devil.”

In the elevator, er, the “time machine,” King and her fellow travelers are not sure what to think about their obvious differences. “But when a cool waiter serving champagne enters the portal, we all agree that this is actually a pretty cool situation and we all dance and enjoy our time together,” adds King.

King says the creative process for coming up with a storyline for a video is very different from the songwriting process. “One thing that I wanted to make sure of was to not be literal,” she explains. “I didn’t want to act out the lyrics. The story in the song is about not rushing through life, but to take the time to be here and now and appreciate where we are. ‘We’ve got forever. There’s no now or never.’ is a lyric. The video ultimately delivers that similar message but with a crazy story.”
