10 seconds of the clip got more to it than the entire track.
it's stereotypical but still visually appealing. i had to
ignore the track though.

It's rare nowadays that I get upset or angry, but watching
that vid kinda pissed me off. Like when the fuck is that
track supposed to play? If you're gonna be pop, at least
have good hooks and shit, with melodic sense that spans
wider than 1 octave, and if you're gonna be spiritual/nu-age
whatever, have supplementary themes or possibly key changes,
in order to give reference points for the main emotive
content (basically listen to 100 nu-age tracks, and don't do
any of it). That track is just such watery and uninspired,
soul-lacking ballz. When coupled with the weak narrative of
the video, the whole thing is a failure with regard to
aesthetic solidity and a failure in conveying any more
thematic depth than is presented in the first ~30 seconds.

What's disgusting to me is how refined all the mediocrity
is. Refined mediocrity does not equal anything greater than
mediocre. A bland person can wear nice clothes, but this is
more like a bland person covering themselves in lacquer and
butter, walking around with a personal spotlight; former
bland person can be casually attractive, the latter bland
person will bring feelings of disgust. Way too much
implied, way too little delivered.

And Delphic- if any of you are reading this from checking
out where people are watching your vid from- I have nothing
against you all or the music. It's just not that good.
Though I'm sure the ether thanks you for the effort, as do
your fans.
