In some ways, “Third Planet” is probably not the first song by tuki. to which I would recommend you listen, but I do like it…
The reason I’d almost say hold off is simply because there have been a number of songs by the young songwriter which have dealt with longing and self-discovery — all the way back to her breakout hit, “Bansaka” — and this one feels to me like something of an answer to those. Things can be a bit flawed and unknown, but we work together and try and make something.
The video’s end does combine well with the voice to blend some plaintive elements in the mix. A metaphor about crashing into someone who is significant to you for a certain period of time and then saying goodbye. Not all bad. Not all good.
Something else.
The video is a bit like a femme, glitched out Project Hail Mary for those into that sort of thing.
My Music Video Picks [MVP] is a series of posts highlighting various music and dance videos from Youtube (usually). 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 Playlist might contain spoilers for unpublished posts.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.
