New one from Suicideyear on Software. Suiciedy Ear, like an ear that’s sorta suicidey.
Dude starts driving, leaving the viewer to wonder: is that Detroit that he’s driving through? And then to think: “Should I move to Detroit? I could buy a house for like $100.” etc, etc. And then to think, “Oh god but it’s so cold, and I’d have to start all over… Maybe I ought to visit first.” But of course the visit never happens.
The song tho: pretty solid piece of electronic music, percussion stealing the show, in a good way. The video did really tie this together for me to be honest, it’s music that would pair so nicely for the drive in the car or the ride in the subway, that massively important time each day that gets totally forgotten. That 20 or 30 minutes each day where you’re just thinking, analyzing, blissed out, remembering, planning, stressing, talking to yourself or an imaginary passenger, singing to the radio. Some songs you listen to to turn your brain off, but this is music that pairs well with thought.
The title “Remembrance” appears to harken to times past. Remembrance of specific event, linked to specific places. Remembrance of a strange small moment, one you don’t even know why you remember. Remembrance of a time when you spent more time hoping and less time remembering. Perhaps the main character of the video, at its end, is a prodigal son returning home.
