The Floating Town (Part 2) | Some Friends Just Stay • Surreal AI Music Video 4K

This one began with two chairs. I found them at the end of a driveway sale last spring, out in the rain, marked as one lot. They weren't a matching pair. One was a spindle-back with the seat worn into a shallow bowl. The other sat lower, plainer, with the paint rubbed clean off one arm and a few small scratches down the front leg.

They get up when their person gets up, and they follow, and they lie back down. Nobody out here asks what shape a friend arrives in. Miss Ada is still mending that coat, by the way. She has a very old cat now who sleeps on the mending ba
