Childish Gambino Drops A New Video for "Sober"
The video:
Our Review:
Tamira: Let me first say that I love this song so when I heard that there was a video, I got totally excited. And it was one of my favorite song from last year. This video is very special in its simplicity.
Malik: Let me say second I know very little about Gambino. He played Spider-Man in that one cartoon so he's ok in my book. On to more current matters this video was sure something.
Tamira: To me, this video was so raw and unexpected, being that at the end, you would think that Gambino was going to "get the girl". Malik, what do you think about that aspect of the video?
Malik: It was a very oh what's the word....Understandable aspect. I appreciate its simplicity. I've seen to many music videos with overly complex and full of non sense.
Tamira: Yeah, that's the thing I love about CG. He's so diverse and unpredictable with music and videos. And let me be honest, since this video has came out (which was only 3 days ago), I have watched it about 30 times. It is very intriguing. I loved the way he dances and how this video connects to his last two videos.
Malik: Yea I compared this to the other video you had me watch and I ended up hurting my head. He's really creative with his videos. I feel he realizes some fans want simplicity while others want complexity.
Tamira: You hurt your head? Lol ok. Well how do you feel about the song? I think it's different from a lot music from his past but yet it's one of my favorite song from him. I know you're a rocker so don't be too harsh...be honest.
Malik: It's ok just not my cup of inebriation inducing drink. I don't hate it. I'm apathetic towards it. When I listen to it I think it's alright just not something I would have on repeat on my phone.
Tamira: Understandable. Welp. My overall interpretation of the video is that Gambino (who is an immortal alien monstar dude) tries to make everyone around (mortals) as happy as possible even if it's giving them the littlest joy because in reality, he lives forever while everyone else's lives are short. So it's a lonely life for him and also maybe throughout the video he was fighting whatever is inside him and it seems like it won as he goes back to the same seat just waiting and looking as gloomy as before. And to point out the clock staying at 9:30, that symbolizes that time means nothing to him....Just a great video.
Malik: Yeah I just thought he was trying to pick up a hot lady. But yours sound better.
Tamira: Maybe I just think deeply. Lol.
Be sure to check out the video and thanks for reading!
Malik: So long from your resident Handsome nerd.
