The moment I heard about the first 5 seconds of this song, I instantly knew that I’d be hurriedly purchasing Tei Shi’s Crawl Space on the date of it’s release. This is easily my favorite track on the record and has had the biggest impression on me.
It pleases you to say you’re sorry when you’re not
It’s a dangerous slip of the tongue
If it pleases you to see me struggling, I will
Talk of the things that I hate in myself
From the instrumental, to the lyrics – and of course those harmonies – this has been one of the songs I’ve heard this year.
Directors DREAMTIGER stated: “Relationships often feel like getting hit by car. It’s about a relentless force always following you, always dragging you back, and sometimes you don’t know whether you can survive.”
I think we all know the feeling a little too well.
Be sure to go and watch Tei Shi’s dreamy, sultry video for “Keep Running” – also a release from her debut LP Crawl Space.
