Right? Same thing happened to me a few months ago. But we're so happy to see it now!

These images are so thoughtfully put together. On subsequent watches I keep noticing things, like how every time the synthesizer music kicks in, we are presented with a space/high tech type image. I'm pretty sure this was not accidental.

This song saved my life

I feel like it really supports the song considering what the lyrics point to. Gives it that nostalgic emotional feel that typically goes along with depression and anxiety: "Older times were always better times". Just constantly focused on what was, instead of the present. -Ooooor I'm just reading way to much into it and they just wanted to accompany that sweet synth wave sound.

This song makes me feel fine with the fact that I'm not going to be always happy and that life is an uncertain ride with many highs and lows.

The choice of images is so beautiful and melancholic. It makes me think about all those individuals in the 50/60/70/80's who lives with anxiety or depression, and how unexplained and mysterious it must have been for them.

ah, depression was described as "melancholy" before the 20th century, so while the term "depression" only became widespread in the latest part of the 20th century, people in the 50s-80s still had a word for what they were feeling and could probably find peers and books on the subject

Yes. That feeling. When nothing really matters. Life is dull. And in worst case scenario, you feel empty. The only way I found out to sort of ignore (not fix) this feeling/state is to divert your mind away from those thoughts. Dive into life. Do whatever passes time. Keep yourself busy with things that probably don't matter (because nothing does). Embrace your existential worldview. We create our own purpose and meaning. This sort of process helped me to a bit. I get less depressed. Still think about life a lot though.

Ignas I hope not too. Create that purpose for yourself though. You are the one in control. As sad as the world can be sometimes there are good moments. Leave a positive trace in this world (as little as that trace may be). I am going to paraphrase Aristotle: "Regardless of the individual, the ultimate purpose is to achieve ultimate happiness. To achieve it, one needs to lead a happy life. And to lead a happy life one has to actually live. Live in the present moment. Only when that moment is not means to another moment/goal/event can all of this happen. Once that happens for you, life will present itself as ultimate happiness."

I just can't describe how much I appreciate this song.

This is a kind of music I absolutely love.

The video itself is certainly a testament to late 20th Century publishing, particularly American periodicals, the power of media in print from the 60's to the 80's is soaked in artistry & technical craft. It presents an idealized yet relatable past or future that is held in a "yet to be/once was" status. This music makes the sense of longing weirdly intense.

Not sure how a song this good - has stayed hidden , influences of the Cure, Gorillaz and Pumpkins abound, feels like a blanket of wonderfulness wrapping you up. Rarely, does a song and artist create a "moment" that the listener can get lost in. This song hits all of those marks. I am glad I stumbled upon this and will be thirsting for more!!

That’s you longing for white society pre destruction and importation of 3rd worlders.

One of the best music videos I've ever seen. It works so well because it's a perfect fit for the mood of the song- the singer shows the world she's 'fine' but inside, she's not, just like the fantasy 'happy' world of advertising in the 60's and 70's. I see a lot of National Geographic magazine, Sears catalog, clothing pattern books and cigarette ad photos in the video. I was born in 1967, so I remember that imagery very well.

A masterpiece ❤ One of my favourite songs.

I like the use of old stock photos in the video. They are highly edited and curated photos that show picturesque and idealized moments. It compliments the cheery melody of the song. When paired with the lyrics and the cut out fragments of the words, you get a sense that, who ever is sining, is still editing and altering themselves to be as presentable as possible even though they are talking about their anxiety and fears. I imagine many people go through this. Having to censor and edit there appearance and speech patterns to be likable and approachable, even though they are dying on the inside to tell ANYONE what they truly feel.
