When I first saw this video on The Wedge, I jumped out of my seat. I've rarely seen anything like it. It's got a quirkiness all its own.
The song itself is performed by Versatile Records' Joakim, a French fellow who usually busies himself with electronic music. It's got an infectious beat, and the bassline can suitably be called "funky". It kind of reminds me of Tones on Tail.
What really captivated my attention, though, was the wedding montage contrasting with the theme of the song. The song, as you are probably well aware is about loneliness. So what is Joakim trying to say?
My two guesses: either these people are destined to divorce, or the singer is wanting what these married folk have. I vote for the latter simply because I have a soft spot for marriage and I never wish for anyone to get divorced. In fact, perhaps the reason why I have held off on marriage is because I never want to wish divorce on myself.
Still, I think these music video walks a fine line between being danceable and being haunting. I like that very much.
