Music Video of the Day: Want You Back by HAIM (2017, dir by Jake Schreier)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

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

Music Video of the Day: You Know I’m No Good by Amy Winehouse (2006, directed by Phil Griffin)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Amy Winehouse, still missed. Her music touched my life. Her death broke my heart. Fortunately, her voice can still be heard.

I used to search for excuses to sing this song. Needless to say, my vocals were not quite as effective.

Music Video of the Day: Shallow, performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper (2019, dir by whoever directed the Oscars that year)

Who knows what tonight’s Oscar telecast will be like but I’m pretty sure it won’t come anywhere close to providing a moment as powerful as this.

Enjoy!

Music Video of the Day: Lights On by Hatchie (2022, dir by Joe Agius)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Welcome to the future!

Enjoy!

Don’t fall too fast
I’ve got this feeling that won’t ever last
I never wanted to fall
Caught in your trap
Heart hits the ceiling, let’s go, don’t look back
I’ve never wanted you more
But I never wanted to fall

I never felt so good with the lights on
I never understood you were the right one
Cos I can’t stop thinking about your touch
Don’t stop, it could never be too much
Fall down, we could get back up

Slips through my hands
A love so fleeting, I don’t understand
I should have answered the call
I never wanted to fall

We could keep this under the covers
We could keep this all to ourselves
But is that all that you wanted?
Just us and nobody else
You can’t tell me it’s not a problem
When you’re stuck inside your head
If you wanna keep on running
I won’t be the one to bring you down

Music Video of the Day: For My Friends by King Princess (2022, dir by Nick Harwood)

(For Evelyn, Emma, Amy, Shay, Katrina, Jenny, Ellie, Regina, Jackie, and all the rest of you)

Enjoy!

We go too far back
You wouldn’t leave me now
To find someone like that
It wouldn’t be easy now

Cuz I been thinking bout getting drunk again
at the same house where it all started
and i love you so much that i didn’t care when you stained the carpet
finding your clothes cuz you know I stole them
you know I own them now

It’s how it’s gonna be
Face it, loving me takes patience

When I think about us just leaving
I think about us just coming home
You hate it, but loving me takes patience
We lose touch when I’m faded
And it can get dark but still I know
You’re waiting and loving me takes patience

We’ve had every fight
There is no score to keep
Chase down every sidewalk
You’re walking home with me
Talkin bout honesty

I been thinkin ’bout getting drunk again
at the same house where it all started
and i love you so much going up the stairs at your new apartment

It’s how it’s gonna be
Face it, loving me takes patience

When I think about us just leaving
I think about us just coming home
You hate it, but loving me takes patience
We lose touch when I’m faded
And it can get dark but still I know
You’re waiting and loving me takes patience

No one else could care
It’s a waste of time
To pretend I’d find someone out there
I wouldn’t scare, cuz loving me takes patience

When I think about us just leaving
I think about us just coming home
You hate it, but loving me takes patience
We lose touch when I’m faded
And it can get dark but still I know
You’re waiting and loving me takes patience

You wouldn’t leave me now

Music Video of the Day: Aurora Sogna by Subsonica (2018, dir by FOREVER DATA)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

This music video has kind of an end of the world feel to it.  I found myself suspecting that a comet probably crashed into Earth after filming stopped.

Enjoy!

Si sveglia che fa buio ormai d’abitudine
La notte le regala un’aria più complice

Detesta il vuoto dei rumori della realtà (Aurora sogna)
Ma col volume a stecca può sopravvivere (Aurora sogna)
Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Sogna di un bisturi amico che faccia di lei
Qualcosa fuori dal normale
Qualche gelato al giorno forse la nutrirà
Non crede nell’amore in cio’ è molto semplice
Come si chiama questa voglia di vivere (Aurora sogna)
Che nel suo corpo ha bisogno di espandere (Aurora sogna)
Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Occhi bionici più adrenalina
Sensori e cibernetica neurale
Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Labbra cromate ricordi seriali
Emozioni e un nuovo impianto sessuale

Senza più mangiare, senza più dormire
Senza più mangiare, senza più dormire

Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Sogna di un bisturi amico
Che faccia di lei qualcosa fuori dal normale
Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Occhi bionici più adrenalina
Sensori e cibernetica neurale
Le stesse facce che ogni giorno fanno male
Le stesse voci recitanti giudicare
Posa l’orecchio sul bicchiere e sente il mare
Ma non il suono della musica che piace a lei
La solitudine che indossa è più normale
Di una prudente saggia e isterica morale
Aurora sogna e nei suoi sogni sa cercare
Senza paura un’esclusiva felicità

Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Sogna di un bisturi amico che faccia di lei
Qualcosa fuori dal normale
Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Occhi bionici più adrenalina
Sensori e cibernetica neurale
Sogna una carne sintetica
Nuovi attributi e un microchip emozionale
Labbra cromate ricordi seriali
Emozioni e un nuovo impianto sessuale
Sogna una carne sintetica

Music Video of the Day: It Gets Dark by Sigrid (2022, dir by ????)

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Enjoy!

Lyrics:
VERSE 1:
high, there’s a reason for my high, there’s a whole world outside
I saw it last night
yeah they’re saying I’m insane, ‘cause I wanna go to space
and leave it all behind
and leave it all behind
I’m leaving

CHORUS:
I, I’ve never ever been this far away from home
and all alone
it gets dark, yeah it gets dark
and I, I’m moving at the speed of light, I had to go, but now I know
it gets dark so I can see the stars

VERSE 2:
yeah my feet came off the ground, gravity won’t hold me down
no, not this time
I’m not who I used to be
‘cus I came out here to see, the universe inside

I’m leaving them behind
I’m leaving them

CHORUS:
I, I’ve never ever been this far away from home
and all alone
it gets dark, yeah it gets dark
and I, I’m moving at the speed of light, I had to go, but now I know
it gets dark so I can see the stars
