Groove Armada - Lover 4 Now (feat. Todd Edwards) (Official Video)

A quarantine love story directed and animated by Fons Schiedon.

Producer: Sasha Nixon
Production company: Forever

Director Fons Schiedon on the video:
The video portrays the long distance relationship between a cat named Cosmo and a dog named Mio. Living in homes that show no sign of human life, they help themselves to the contents of fridge and pantry, and find companionship through video chat.

I wrote the treatment as New York was shutting down to handle the coronavirus outbreak. For weeks, the city remained eerily quiet, except for the frequent sound of ambulances. An audio recording of that soundscape taken from my roof is what the video opens with.
From the isolation of a smallish apartment, and my improvised studio now squeezed into a corner of the bedroom, the doomy future scenarios just kind of wrote themselves. But seeing that through the eyes of an animal, more aware of the present than worried about the future, seemed like a more hopeful, joyous angle. I love observing animals observe the world, so the video comes from a fascination with how animals learn and interact with their environment. With the cats in my life, I’ve often felt that if I were to disappear, they would probably eventually figure out how to get food delivered using my credit card.

Lyrics:

Her words are like a song on the radio
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
She’ll only say what she thinks you wanna hear
You hope that she will notice, but she won’t
That you could give her what the others don’t
She’ll make you believe it, if it will keep you near

Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
She’s all I’m living for
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
She’s all I’m living for
Lover just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now

There you go looking for her again
And how many before you have there been
Do you still believe that, you’re the only one that tries
She’ll tease you with her body that she flaunts
As long as she is getting what she wants
And you’ll eat it up as she feeds you lies

Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
She’s all I’m living for
Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
She’s all I’m living for
Lover just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now

Why do you wanna be, in love, wasting your time
You need a little sympathy, you’ve had enough wasting your time
Lover just 4 now
Lover just 4 now
Lover just 4 now
Lover just 4 now

Stuck in your head with nothing meaningful
She’s all I’m living for
Her words are like a song on the radio
She’s all I’m living for
Lover just 4 now, you’ve had enough
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Just 4 now
Wasting your time

I usually get to know 'oldies' through house hits. The oposite happened with this one: a comment on a Clio-Faces Yt vid brought me here <3
