What happened to summer this year? Seriously, it’s just kind of flying by. We’ve got August and then the first half of September and then it’s going to be Autumn again! Get out there and enjoy yourselves while you still can!
Today’s music video of the day is all about summer. It captures a few essential truths. Number one, it’s fun to get undressed in public. Number two, if you take off enough clothes while walking down the street, some dude with a saxophone will undoubtedly start following you. What I like about this video is how everyone is both intrigued and annoyed by the saxophone player. This is a video that just captures what it’s like to be young and have your entire future ahead of you. It also captures the feeling of summer!
(On a personal note, the Haim sisters remind me of the Bowman sisters, except we’re four and they’re three.)
This video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who apparently has directed a few films as well. No, not the Resident Evil films. That’s a different Paul Anderson, all together.
Today’s music video of the day is the latest Haim. As I’ve said many times in the past, the Haim sisters have always reminded me of the Bowman sisters, which explains a lot about why I like their high-energy music videos.
I should also note that Will Poulter is in this video. Hi, Will!
I definitely know the feeling. I have yet to see a Haim video to which I can not relate.
This video was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, who did several videos for Haim and did such a good job with all of them that I personally think he might have a future in feature films.
Browsing through my YouTube recommendations, I was shocked to discover a Haim video that I hadn’t already shared for music video of the day. Let’s correct that this morning!
This energetic video was choreographed by Fatima Robinson.
Today’s music video of the day is one of the few Haim videos not to have been directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Austin Peters is the credited director. He’s also directed videos for two of my other favorite artists, Dillon Francis and Major Lazer.
The Haim sisters could definitely defeat me in basketball. Of course, I’ve never played basketball and, as I’ve mentioned in the past, I also can’t stand to watch basketball because of all the squeaky shoes. One reason why I prefer golf and boxing to basketball is because there’s no squeaking involved in either of those sports.
As I point out every January, these are my ten favorite songs of the previous year. Other people who have written for TSL over the years may have very different favorite songs of the year. In fact, check out Necromoonyeti’s list of his 35 top albums!
Anyway, here are my ten favorite songs of the previous year. For the most part, my musical tastes tend to run the gamut from EDM to More EDM. That said, I think there’s perhaps a bit of variety to this year’s list as opposed to previous years. Or maybe not. Who knows? I’m typing this up at one in the morning so, to be honest, I’m lucky that I can even keep straight which year I’m writing about.
Wow, a Haim walking video that wasn’t directed by Paul Thomas Anderson! In all honest, though, Jake Schreier did a fine job directing this video and it’s a good song as well.
Enjoy!
Some things are long forgotten Some things were never said We were on one endless road But I had a wandering heart
I said we were opposite lovers Said it from the beginning You kept trying to prove me wrong Said you’d always see it through And I know that I ran you down So you ran away with your heart
But just know that I want you back Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you
I know it’s hard to hear it And it may never be enough But don’t take it out on me now ‘Cause I blame it all on myself
And I had a fear of forgiveness Said it from the beginning I was too proud to say I was wrong Said you’d always see me through All that time is gone, no more fearing control I’m ready for the both of us now
So just know that I want you back Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you Just know that I want you back (Just know that I want you) Just know that I want you back (Just know that I want you) Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (Just know that I want you back, baby)
Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you
Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you back Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you Just know that I want you back (Just know that I want you) Just know that I want you back (Just know that I want you) Just know that I want you I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you (Just know that I want you back, baby) (Just know that I want you) (Just know that I want you back, baby) I’ll take the fall and the fault in us I’ll give you all the love I never gave before I left you
