Here’s a little background music to mellow out your day.
What I really like about the video, though, is the series of visuals that accompany it. Here’s one example:
Yeah, it’s all artificially-generated. Don’t care. It’s harmless: not meant to be art, it all just enhances the mood. Muzak did it for generations.
There’re a bunch of those videos built around a “retro-futuristic” aesthetic, which I enjoy. Pretty women, shiny cars, silly robots.
A diner in a small town, in decades past, people who all know each other, friendly and warm, on a rainy day. Anyone who finds fault with this image is hereby sent out into that cold wet background forthwith. Preferably without their overcoat and galoshes (if anyone actually remembers using those).
Very realistic…right down to that analog wall clock that needs new batteries (doesn’t match the two digital clocks’ time)
And the masthead on the folded newspaper that shows the full name of the paper as seen on the unfolded newspaper.
Ooops.
I’ve got this sudden taste for meatloaf and mashed potatoes, maybe a piece of pie to follow-up, and it’s not even breakfast yet!
God, I spent hours in places like that with my folks.
Ask me why I hate the future.
Boy, does that bring back some memories. Noticed that the RR crossing warning lights don’t come on.
And the flashing lights face the train, not the automobiles.
There sure was a bunch of paper, flour sacks and boxes out in the rain too.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the memories it brought back.
