What happens when your partner is so out of control or depressed that you are anxious about their arrival? You love them but they are so volatile. They think too much about things they couldn't get, their failures, their missed opportunities. This feeling ravages them; they put their fist through a door, they fall through a hole in the floor...you wonder if they should be locked up. But without them you feel like you can't breathe. It's life with someone you love. It's so sad. Because it used to be happy. You think.
I love the video. This representation of repressed domestic post-war times, when people just went through the motions and feelings were locked away to simmer, to boil until they exploded, and one was left to expire in conflicted oblivion.
The music is very much dream pop. Minor/major keys, reverb, twilight dust mote shadow sounds, kind of a sadder sounding Jonathan Richman. I think I heard this on Vintage Obscura Radio.
