Music Video of the Day: Moonlight Sunrise by Twice (2023, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Cheer up, people!

That, of course, is mostly a message to myself.  I’m not depressed.  Instead, I’m just exhausted.  I’ve been up since Thursday, trying to catch up on all the movies that I still need to see before posting my personal picks for the best of the year and I imagine that I won’t be getting any sleep until Tuesday evening.  You want to talk about exhaustion?  Try watching Avatar: The Way of the Water and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, one after another.  For two thoroughly ludicrous films featuring an underwater civilization, they’re good enough.  But they’re also very long.  Fortunately, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish woke me right up.

Anyway, this video and this song woke me up too.  Positive energy, people!  Keep it positive!

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Into My Body by UPSAHL (2022, dir by Anastasia Delmark)

As always with UPSAHL, I feel like she’s singing exactly what I’m feeling.

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

I don’t recognize the girl that I see on the screen looking mean uh
I don’t wanna call my friends so I’m home staying lonely instead uh

What if I can’t be loved
What if I’m not enough
Kicking myself
When I get down
What if I can’t get up

What if I’m always stuck
And who can I ever trust
Spiral again out of my head
I…

I wanna get into my body
And let my skin do the talking
I wanna feel like I’m myself again

I wanna get into my body
I don’t need anyone on me
Just serotonin rushing to my head (I wanna get)

I don’t
Wanna open up to anyone, cause if I do, they might run
And I won’t
Waste another night, and tell a lie, and say “thanks that was fun”
I I I

I wanna get into my body
And let my skin do the talking
I wanna feel like I’m myself again

I wanna get into my body
I don’t need anyone on me
Just serotonin rushing to my head (x2)

I wanna get…
Into my body body body
Into my body body body
I wanna get…

CHORUS

Get into my body and out of my head
Can’t stop a train wreck, I’ll get off instead

I wanna get into my body
And let my skin do the talking
I wanna feel like I’m myself again

Music Video of the Day: Where Do We Go Now? by Gracie Abrams (2023, dir by Gia Coppola)

For today’s music video of the day, we have a music video directed by Gia Coppola!  Gia is the granddaughter of Francis Ford and the niece of Sofia and Roman.  She also directed one of my favorite films of the past ten years, Palo Alto.

Music Video of the Day: Flowers by Miley Cyrus (2023, dir by Jacob Bixenman)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

With this video, Miley Cyrus lets the world know that she doesn’t need Liam Hemsworth to have fun.  Or, at least, that seems to be the most popular interpretation online.  Myself, whenever I see a Miley Cyrus video, I remember how, whenever The Soup did a segment on her, the producer would yell, “It’s Miley!”

That was good fun.

Enjoy!
