music video monday ~ 38

Dreams, man. Dreams.

Part-short film, part-music video, I've always loved the video for "Afterlife" by Arcade Fire and Emily Kai Bock for how it knits together the subconscious of three men of different ages and how they are connected by the matriarch in their (or no longer in their) lives. The teenager walking by the young women to get a better view of the ritual in the pool is an especially intriguing visual for me. The use of black-and-white footage and the industrial location all cement the viewing experience for me. Plus, it's a pretty good song with a catchy line or two that will be stuck in my head the rest of the day: "Oh, when love is gone / where does it go? / Where does it go?"

indoor animal is curated by a human: Tim Papciak. On Mondays, he shares one link to one music video to help spark creativity in himself and in other creative types. On Thursdays, he recommends a book, movie, show, art piece, or link to some dusty corner of the internet that he believes either 1.) adds to the human experience, or 2.) serves as a coping mechanism in the year 2025. Note: this is not, and never will be, self-help content.
