“A Long Time” is the first single off of Mayer Hawthorne‘s sophomore set, How Do You Do?, and it was released back in May when he announced his signing with Universal Republic. Mayer recently released this feel good video that he does not appear in. I’ve always thought that Mayer Hawthorne has some of the coolest music videos and this one continues his trend of visual originality. Mayer keeps it simple and takes it back to the The New Dance Show with RJ Watkins which was a lower budget version of Soul Train that appeared on local Detroit television from the late 1980’s to the early 1990’s. If you want to check out some of his other music videos…”Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out” and “I Wish It Would Rain” are my personal favorites. Make the jump to see the music video for “A Long Time”.
