Had something else in mind for today but new stuff should always trump the backlog and since this video is around 5 hours old at the time I post it: it wins.
It makes an interesting contrast to “Roller Coaster” with its muted color schemes, introspection, and generally more downbeat self-analysis. Lyrics deal with feeling like you are out of sync with the life other people plan for you and being left behind as other people go off on their — presumably more successful, but maybe only in her eyes — journey.
You could 100% say that the person chiding someone for being too serious in “Roller Coaster” is talking to the person of this song. They are same person. That is likely on purpose.
Little details like the slow increasing of color as the song goes and the use of the bridge and waterway to demonstrate the liminal space are nice. I especially like the touch that at the end the view swings around to show another bridge.
It’s not about the destination, here. It’s about navigating the times in between.
Also, fair play for the “time lapse” pun [a lapse in time, being lapped, all sorts of word chews, there].
My Music Video Picks [MVP] is a series of posts highlighting various music and dance videos (usually from Youtube). No particular schedule (sometimes lots, sometimes little). It might not even all be music or dance videos. Absolutely picked by me, though. Usually I have to like both the song and the video, but we’ll see.
You can see the most recent songs here: [Doug’s] Music Video Picks [Youtube Playlist]. Size of that list will change as the mood strikes. Playlist might contain spoilers for unpublished posts. Just enjoy.
