The offical lyric video for Let Your Heart Hold Fast by Fort Atlantic as heard on How I Met Your Mother.
artwork, programming, and animation by Jon Black.
Special thanks to DeviantArt user xQuatrox for the 8-bit heart design I tweaked a little:
A note about the art: I played a ton of Space Quest as a kid and originally wanted to make a music video based on that art. I might one day. Look into Space Quest, King’s Quest, and Police Quest if you’re into retro gaming. Enjoy! – JB

The picture from above is from Criminal Records. I (Jon) used to buy records there in Atlanta in high school (as well as Wuxtry in Athens). Josh used to buy them from Magic Platter and Lasers Edge here in Birmingham. The halls of legends where we spent hours of our youth aren’t open anymore. You have to trust us on this: You need record stores.
