Artist Statement by Nathan and Gaby:
"5-10-15 Hours" is a blues number by Rudolph Toombs about sweethearts spending time together. The title bargains for as much time as can be had to "prove my love," a sentiment expanded upon by other pop-lyric, glittering generalities about physical and idealistic romance. Mr. Toombs was wise to stop there, as the present reality of indeterminate amounts of time together has proven difficult for some folks. Our film offers a daydream about what joy might be available despite these circumstances - a winking fantasy of life at home for two professional swing dancers.
Music, "5-10-15 Hours" arr. Eyal Vilner, featuring vocalist Brianna Thomas, from the album "Swing Out!" by Eyal Vilner Big Band
