words by Mateo Arango
This video, Ode to Exploration, is a journey to the deepest of our minds. Places we need to visit and ride along to find the light within. Places we can only get through exploration and self-discovery.
This is an ode to the limitless potential of the human spirit to push beyond its boundaries and embrace the unknown. The idea behind this project came from self-reflection, from when you feel lost in life, and it’s through exploration that you’re able to navigate, learn, and accept the experience.
The project was filmed in the Australian High Country, a land of endless exploration, where rugged mountains meet breathtaking scenery and endemic wildlife thrives. It is a land of tapestry of natural wonders, a place where wilderness reigns supreme. A region that calls to the adventurous spirit, beckoning us to explore its hidden treasures.
On this road that we all call life I will sing an ode to my exploration Despite all of my pain and strife I will tell the tales of my adventure.
I’ve searched all day within my heart A trip to find out why I’m here Who am I? I need to know my part.
On this road that we all call life I set out on a distant adventure From valleys low to mountains high In the lonely embrace of nature.
I ride through an undulating height Swimming in the ocean of my thoughts Till I am lost, far beyond sight.
On this road that we all call life Lost and alone, amongst a sea of trees I can hear the silent call of nature From the whispers of a nearby breeze.
Now, I can feel the light shining within Who am I? What is my part? I can hear the answers storming in.
On this road that we all call life I will sing aloud and raise my voice I keep on moving on life’s exploration For now, I know that I have a choice.
I may be wandering, but within, I am free Oh, what wondrous self-discovery That, If it will be, It will be up to me.
