- Sometimes I retreat into that melancholy space where you only exist in my mind. A cinematic poem written and performed by Craig Young.
'Rough sheets' is a poem for everyone who has ever laid alone on summer nights - listening to music as a way to steer thoughts and dreams while creased, hot sheets stick to flesh. It’s about longing.

The film was shot on a Sony FX3 with G-Master zoom lenses. Additional aerial footage was captured on the DJI Air2S. The film was edited on Final Cut Pro with a M1 MacBook. The monologue was filmed in my tiny apartment in Berlin. The rest was captured around the beautiful lakes of Brandenburg.

Looking forward to each and every on ✌🏼

Stunning
Thank you! 🙏🏼♥️
Beautiful 💛
Thank you, Alona! ♥️
I got chills! To see how your expression changes at different moments... the vulnerability and honesty in your performance create a level of intimacy that goes beyond reading words on a page. And the shots of the lake are moody and lush, I feel transported to that melancholic space.
Chills are good ☺️ Thank you for this comment. The very reason I started Monolith was not to simply ‘recite’ poems, but to perform them. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it 🙏🏼
A sumptuous treat to the eyes, ears and the bits in between. Your channel proves a wonderful place to retreat to
What a comment. Thank you, guys! Good luck with the new album! ♥️
What a warm and chilled out film. Perfect delivery too 🔥
It took a while to get the feeling right, but I’m really happy with it!
What a wonderful talent you are, Craig. Stunning words, spoken so well. You've always had the skill of essence capturing. Keep it up mate, you're offering the world something special here. All the love and support. See you soon x
This is such a nice comment. Thanks for taking the time to watch and also for writing such beautiful words. Your music always inspires me, so thank you for that 🙏🏼
Such an amazing video. Great shots, beautiful poetry and a captivating performance. It takes serious talent and skill to create all of that by yourself - filming, writing, acting, editing, and all such high quality. You’re an inspiration!
Thanks, Diana! It’s definitely a challenge ☺️ I really enjoy making them though - every part of the process. You forgot one thing: sharing the films is also part of it, and it’s such a joy 🙏🏼
The emotion in your voice depicts something deep underneath its surface, much like the lake hiding a myriad of things below its own. It allows our imaginations to wander and maybe relate to something within our own lives, perhaps from the past or present. This brought tears to my eyes and is truly beautiful. Yet another brilliant recital accompanied by stunning scenery. Thank you 🙏
Good thinking! I never thought about it like that, but I’m happy to take the credit 🙏🏼♥️
