is this depressing?
Pitchfork: Klee: "Gold" [Track Review]
in this pitchfork review of this german band klee (who's track is pretty good) they have included the youtube video to the song. what impressed me about the video is that it outlines the destruction of music.
the video begins with a really tepid band performance and shots of people at the show, a boy and a girl single each other out, make eye contact and decide they were destined to be, and leave. it shows their travels to a gas station, a cafe, and finally the ocean where they make out and walk into the sunset.
why does the video show this young couple leaving the club that the band is playing at? are they trying to defeat themselves? granted music brings people together, but i thought it was a little disturbing that this video outlines the ideal so realistically. the show is a bunch of people separated and all _sort_of_ enjoying themselves collectively. no one is touching. then these two hit it off and boom they are out of there. shouldn't we make music that facillitates bringing people together? as in the beatles song? is the ideal really to just make music that makes people fall in love with each other and cease to interact with the rest of the world? is that what love is? granted my standing with the idea of a relationship is in deep flux currently. who knows.
