Music Video of the Day: I’ll Be The Death Of You by I Break Horses (2020, dir by Douglas Hart)

“I’ll be the death of you,” is a phrase that I enjoyed using for a period of time in 2007 so it seems appropriate to make it today’s music video of the day.

Enjoy!

Is there really such a thing as dodgeball tryouts?  Do schools actually have like competitive dodgeball teams?  I don’t think my high school did but then again, I went to a school that valued art and theater above athletics.

(We didn’t even have our own football field but instead had to use another school’s field.  That’s how little athletic mattered to us.)

Anyway, the school in this video has dodgeball tryouts ad they certainly do look grueling.  It’s actually not much of a school and I can understand why Anna-Sofia Mörck is annoyed with everyone that she has to deal with.  I would have been annoyed as well.  In fact, despite the whole dodgeball angle, I think just about everyone should be able to relate to this video.  Everyone felt like an outsider in high school.  I mean, even the insiders thought they were outsiders.

Enjoy!

Okay, confession time: I am exhausted.  Usually, when we have a big day like Oscar Sunday, I write out all my posts like a week ahead of time.  I did not do that this time.  So, I spent a good deal of Sunday just trying to keep up with the site and the day.

So, instead of doing my usual rambling about today’s music video of the day, I’m just going to thank all of our readers and subscribers and visitors.  Your likes and your comments are really what makes this site worthwhile.  We’ve been doing this for 10 years now and I still love writing for the TSL as much as I did my first day.  Thank you for reading.  Thank you for your indulgence.  Thank you for being there.

And now, I invite all of you to …. enjoy!

The thing I like about this video is that it features a disco ball.

Seriously, every room should come with a disco ball.  During my first semester away at college, I had a disco ball hanging in my dorm room.  (Unfortunately, my roommate took it with her when the semester ended.)  And I’ve currently got a disco ball in my bedroom that I occasionally hang from the ceiling.  It just really livens up the house and, even more importantly, it keeps the spirit of disco alive.  Plus, you don’t have to worry about a disco ball exploding or transforming into a carnivorous goo, like you do with a lava lamp.

Anyway, this is a simple video but I like it.  It’s got a nice and calming atmosphere to it.

Enjoy!

Now seems like as good a time as any to take a trip back to the 60s or the 70s and here to help us do just that is today’s music video of the day!

Myself, I always love these retro videos.  My personal theory is that it’s because I was born a few decades too late.  I love to dance and I love to have a good time and I used to love a few other things that were popular back in the 70s but I won’t go too much into too much of that here.  It’s hard for me not to feel that I should have been born earlier so that I could have hit the discos or the go-go clubs or whatever else there was to hit back then.  Hell, I probably would have even tried the whole punk thing.  Sure, why not?

For the record, if I had been born like in the 50s or the 40s (or even the 30s, who knows), I probably would have voted for Kennedy in 1960 because he was Catholic and then I would have had to vote for LBJ in ’64 because he was a Texan.  And I probably would have voted for Nixon twice and Ford once because why not?  After the election of 1976, I probably would have said, “Forget voting, let’s dance!”

(Of course, if I had been born back then, I’d be like really old and bitter today so I guess I should just be happy that I was born when I was.)

Anyway, I like this video and I like this song.  Good work all around!

Enjoy!

So this video starts out with a good beat and two people getting close and really, that’s what we need in the world.  There’s so many angry and bitter and angst-filled people out there that sometimes, we need a video to remind us that love is the best thing that there is and that there’s nothing wrong with getting close to one another and that….

OH MY GOD, DID SHE JUST RIP OUT HIS HEART!?

Well, maybe.  She definitely removed something from his chest but he doesn’t look like he minds.  I kind of think of this video gives us an opportunity to see what Grease would have been like it had been directed by David Cronenberg.

Enjoy!
