I had no idea that Heath Ledger’s talents extended into the music business.  The Australian actor joined forces with Ben Harper to create the record label Music Masses Co. and in 2006 directed this video for “Morning Yearning,” a song off of Harper’s album entitled Both Sides of the Gun. It was the first of three music videos directed by Ledger.  Truth be told, I haven’t listened to Ben Harper since my junior year in college when Fight for Your Mind took up permanent residence in my 3-disk cd changer boombox, but watching this video in the wake of the actor’s sudden death made me once again appreciate the melancholic songwriter: and of course gain some insight into the diverse nature of the actor’s talents.
