He speaks, &#8220;I am in command&#8221;. The music reflects his mood, with sweeping synths and harpsichord melodies uplifting the emotional weight of the journey, and giving Cezar a moment to breathe. He pauses to contemplate what he&#8217;s achieved, but then suddenly, everything erupts, and Cezar once more returns to the warrior he is, charging forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video, comprising the performances of the band, found footage, and animation, shows Cezar leading his troops, no longer lit in red, but this time, bright like the sun. Cezar is no longer just a leader, he&#8217;s now society\u2019s \u201chope and strength\u201d, leading us out of the darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the music video for \u2018Crossing The Rubicon\u2019 below, and find out more about andrew reed &amp; the liberation and their music online on their official\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/andrewreedmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/780Kq4x58TlLU1XU2EEdbE?si=252dad94181b4e53\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCDAcljgsZJzLkADGnQQtldg?view_as=subscriber\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/andrewreedandtheliberation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndrewReedMusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/andrewreedmusic\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iBMWHHej0gg?si=h6fdz2mA-9fq0wZX\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, we reach the third instalment of andrew reed &#038; the liberation&#8217;s Cezar trilogy.
