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


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)


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 ????)


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

Music Video of the Day: The Outside by Twenty One Pilots (2022, dir by Andrew Donoho)


Here to help you start your Saturday, it’s the latest from Twenty One Pilots!

Enjoy!

I’m already bored,
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this one before,
I’ve got a long drive, I’ll tape my eyes,
So I don’t fall asleep again,
Singing out.

Up and down,
They’re nodding,
Heads are moving up and down,
You got it,
Everybody stand in line,
One by one, take a hit, join the club,
Kids will try to take my vibes,
Or am I on the outside?

I’ve got a long drive, I’ll tape my eyes,
So I don’t fall asleep again,
Singing out.

I am a Megalodon, oceans feeling like a pond,
Swimming like a beast, underneath they be clinging on,
Meteoric rise, in prehistoric times,
Now that meteor is coming, coming.
I am Megatron, cogs I’m stepping on,
Then the little cogs got together, start a renaissance,
Switched it up on me, fuel efficiency,
On fumes I am running, running, running.

Music Video of the Day: Compliance by Muse (2022, dir by Jeremi Durand)


Yay!  It’s a new music video from Muse!

Enjoy!

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance
We just need your compliance
Just give us your compliance
We won’t let you feel lost anymore
No more self-reliance

Fall into line, you will do as you’re told
No choice fatigue, your blood is running cold
We lose control, the world will fall apart
Love of your life, we’ll mend your broken heart

Life lived in fear, you need protection
You’re all alone, too much rejection
We have what you need, just reach out and touch
We can save you

We just need your compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
No more defiance
Just give us your compliance

Cover your tracks, we know what’s best for you
You’ve bitten off, much more than you can chew
You’re running scared, you’ll run into our arms
Come join our clique, we’ll keep you safe from harm
Our toy soldier, you’ll do the dirty work
Stay loyal to us, we’ll take away the hurt
We have what you need, just reach out and touch
We can save you

Just give us your compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
No more defiance
Just give us your compliance

Com com com. Com compliance
Com com com. Com compliance
We can save you

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
And no more defiance
We just need your compliance
We just need your compliance
We won’t let you feel lost anymore
No more self-reliance

Compliance
We just need your compliance
You will feel no pain anymore
No more defiance
We just need your compliance
Oh fear is controlling you
It’s time to give it up
And give in to us
We can save you
Give us your Compliance

Verses
