music video monday ~ 28
Maybe this time I can go far / Thinking about where I've been / Ain't helping me start

Love me a song with a long intro.* "I Will Possess Your Heart" by Death Cab for Cutie, for example. And this song: "Cold Little Heart" by Michael Kiwanuka. The intros are cut out in the radio edit, but I like hearing them as intended. Something cinematic about a slow-building, lengthy intro. A few other things to like about today's video:

  1. The cinematography – see the screen grab above.
  2. Weather as metaphor.
Maybe this time I can be strong / But since I know who I am / I'm probably wrong
  1. Lakeith Stanfield.
Did you ever notice / I've been ashamed? / All my life / I've been playing games
  1. Makes me think of the opening theme for Big Little Lies on HBO, because it used the same song. The kids dancing in the opening credits always makes me smile.
  1. It's mood music. Enjoy.
