Music Video of the Day: Mr. Percocet by Noah Cyrus (2022, dir by Boni Mato)


Today’s music video of the day is this atmospheric video from Noah Cyrus.  I always enjoy videos that look like they could be dreams.

Enjoy!

you are overly sensitive so i won’t say much
but, my heart gets pulled into pieces whenever you’re poured up

you are malevolent and benevolent
you are the devil that i revel in

i barely recognize you when you wake up in the morning
must be someone else’s eyes that i look into every night
you’re only kind when you’re all fucked up
you’re only mine til your high is gone
But,
i wish you’d still love me when your drugs wear off in the morning

i come second to every Percocet that you take
And I know you want someone to worship the worst of your mistakes

you are malevolent and benevolent
you owe me nothing and everything

i barely recognize you when you wake up in the morning
Must be someone else’s eyes that i look into every night
you’re only kind when you’re all fucked up
you’re only mine til your high is gone
but,
But i wish you’d still love me when your drugs wear off in the morning

You (x8)

i barely recognize you when you wake up in the morning
must be someone else’s eyes that i look into every night
you’re only kind when you’re all fucked up
you’re only mine til your high is gone
So,
Maybe I should leave before your drugs wear off in the morning

Music Video Of The Day: Do You Wanna Touch! by Crud (2012, dir by JIMI Custer)


As I’ve mentioned before, there’s a part of me that’s all sophisticated and all about discussing impressionism and classic literature and then there’s the other part of me, the part that just loves a good demolition derby! Guess which side this video appeals to.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Hold My Hand by Lady Gaga (2022, dir by Joseph Kosinski)


I’ve heard at least one critic predict that Top Gun: Maverick will be a major Oscar contender.  I don’t quite buy that but I do imagine that the soundtrack will get a major awards push.  As performed by Lady Gaga, Hold My Hand feels very Oscar bait-y.  We’ll see.

As for the song itself, it’s okay.  It’s definitely not my favorite Lady Gaga song, largely because it was so obviously conceived as a way for the film to win an award.  To me, it has a bit of a gospel feel and, as I think I’ve said in the past, I find gospel music to be the most boring type of music in existence.  That said, Lady Gaga’s voice is amazing and she certainly sells this song.

Enjoy!
