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)

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.

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.

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

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
