Its 2024... and we are dancing like crazy after this tune. What an absolute banger!!

[booksgalore]

The lyrics. The energy. The power of this project and all projects - an actual pioneer of visuals and sound that doesn’t get any of the credit she rightfully deserves

[nastally]

I could listen to this on repeat for ever and ever.

[MarcosLins]

This whole album is a masterpiece and I think that humankind don’t give it enough credit

[junebug]

couldn't pull my eyes away from her ?? this song, this beat, her dancing, the lights, , so entrancing !

[tartgreenapple]

One 4 minutes long take, no edits. AMAZING!!

[KatBlaque]

This has to be one of my favorites from them. I love her so much.

How uplifting it is to discover that Jonna has the well-being of small animals at heart:

"Don't expect to hear from me, 'cos I have got to feed a hungry mouse!"

[AndyZaturno]

THIS WAS THE PERFECT CHOICE to end the KIN era. It's one of the best songs Ive heard in my life.

[pinduxa]

2020 and this song it's still my favourite of all times.

[tichermark]

Best song to feel better during this lockdown 🤭

[Carabus_]

I always watch this when I'm sad and it's instantly better afterwards :3

[aquanaucs]

So I'm thinking that this song is a stark contrast to the rest of the album: I believe that in this video, she is dressed a jester—a light-hearted, comedian and satirist.

She realizes her imposition from the rest of album where she is lost, depressed, and delusional, and decides to celebrate and move past her past, somewhat belittling her preceding attitudes lyrics, as if she surpassed some sort of adolescence. I say this especially because in the previous video she chooses not to kill herself.

Any thoughts?

Loving this new found musical project!

This is a masterpiece, the video, the lyrics, the dance, the ''costume', the lights, everything is perfect

[anastasiasolaki]

I come bearing legacy, that we caused jointly in our dawning land
I come with delivery, and I have left it in my mourning band

I bring you my history that I expect your tender arms around it
Give it love and think of me
These are the letters from a compound

See the dawning of novelty
Where we embrace the kind of subtlety
Time finally caught up with me
A modelling image of the fleeing fugitive

Toned down but playful
Say your greetings with goodbyes
Your cup is brim full
Sorrow sinking with a smile

Now we found a cure
Returning to the shore
Change is always given to decide just who it's for
[x2]

Don't expect to hear from me
'Cause I have got to feed our hungry mouths
I do enjoy your company
But we must work to keep you content

I see the better and the worse in me
I embrace the kind of subtlety
Courage finally caught up with me
A modelling image of the fleeing fugitive

Now we found a cure
Returning to the shore
Change is always given to decide just who it's for
[x4]

Toned down but playful
Say your greetings with goodbyes
Your cup is brim full
Sorrow sinking with a smile

[ScottWaterson]

I think the lyrics and this video tell the story of what she's trying to convey. About being in the physical world, putting herself in a box where she can sell and people can have something they feel they own. Listen to what she is singing and it becomes clear. I think kill is a preview of where she is heading and this shows what the next steps for Kin are, a physical package. The whole song is summed up by the name, it's goods!

[ellisvan]

the more i hear this the more i want to dance like a strange person and listen to it again

[ninadanae]

I think the awkward dancing is one of the points of this video. Why are people so stupid? Damn! This is one of the reasons why I'm having such a hard time relating to humans lately.

[LydiaDeeets]

My eyes are so happy after watching that. Stunning

[lucasdjoni]

This is my favorite song ever! I'm addicted for like 4 months omg
