Uhhh, guys? I think you both posted in the wrong neighborhood topic.
I guess you guys didn't see the word "video" in the topic, so you thought it's: "What music video album are you watching listening to right now?" ?
That's so cute ah ?????
Quite right, "II", silly mistake, and very cute, so here's something to make up for it.

That's fine ? nothing bad happened 😄
That's a nice jazz-funk song which progresses as the song goes on. I haven't usually listened to this genre, but that'll drive me to listen to a bit more of what it's has to offer.
The music video gave me Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown vibes, if that makes sense, because the singer kinda looks like Pam Grier here, and the music itself and the 50s-70s fashion influences.
The song itself reminds me this song, which has a bit faster tempo, both are in D Minor? , rough vocals and a bigger production:
I've posted enough Sheena Ringo / Tokyo Jihen here, it's time for some T-Mac shredding! Edit: The previous video got taken down, so II used another link of a video that hasn't been taken down.
That music video is impressive overall!! II like it!!
It serially gets you through a passage of emotions: It starts off as funny, then deep.
It's visually looking good and edited very well edited.

The meaning of this video could probably be vague, since many music videos feel like this, but as you reach towards the end, you can end up with a self-interpretation:
The kid starts-off as daydreaming being surrounded by girls wearing swimsuits he has seen on his past-time on the internet, which then his mom comes in and opens the curtain, which the light coming out brightens him, as he has to face the reality of the outside world, which is shown to be an Egyptian desert as old as the old man crawling in the sand, who has faced reality but is old enough to be physically brought down to the ground by it, and he also daydreams (like seeing a mirage) about women; ancient Egyptian women as old as time as the man is old, and he's offered a glass of water, which he gleefully drinks as he didn't for a long time have water; a substantial component for living on, which turns to be just sand in a glass (which is made out of sand), and time passes and we see remains of bones and a skull immersed in the sands of time where time and memory will pass by and on.
Meanwhile in the sky, a whale using a balloon tied to his fin, flies along with the birds while a plane passes. All of a sudden, the balloon pops and he has to fall down. The whale dreamed to reach high to the sky, but he's no bird or a plane, and the balloon couldn't carry him for so long. It lands in the sea, and as a whale, this is his reality; he can naturally swim in the sea, and he can be with other whales in the pod (group of whales), like hanging around with friends or family etc.
The kid and the old man fall in the water too. Turns the old man didn't pass away and he finally found water. The kid probably had to face reality in the meantime, eventually falling into one of its struggles; the sea which can drag you deep down, but since he is young, he has the strength and resources rise above the surface, as he has a balloon to have strength to inflate it with his mouth enough to make it fly upwards along with him, having strength to even hold it, unlike the old man who has no strength and no resources (no balloon or anything else) to rise back on, and he can only drink from mass of water he's deep inside up to no avail, since the glass won't help him drink it, and he can only drown deep in it, meaning depsite having a chance to live on, eventually struggles will always come by. That's life.
II did all this analyzation without even reading the lyrics, so II'm going to see if II missed anything.
II just checked and it can seem to me that the lyrics vaguely features the themes II texted about in the essay above, and could be a tiny bit more personal.
If you read all of this, thank you for reading! 👏
Oh, well, wait an hour! Edit: on my second watch II noticed more things:
The mother was holding the same glass of water the old man wished to get, which means adults have more chances to survive while the older you get, the harder it is the achieve these resources.
The kid tries to reach the old man, but the old man couldn't bring himself to reach back and moved down, realizing his time has come, yet he still holds on for hope as he helplessly "drinks" from the glass with way too much water. The kid realizes he has a chance to rise above the surface, as he's young and strong enough to overcome the circumstance, and uses the balloon.
In the last shot you see silhouettes drowning in the water, which mean more people could overcome the struggle of the sea. That's life.

Well, you can sometimes see dark fringes around the characters in the green screen, but the editing is visually pretty good nonetheless
This video is indeed impressive (thumb emoji since emojis can be seen even with an invisible text, you can't make them smaller by lowering the font size, and there's no unicode of a thumb you can make smaller)
First two tracks from their album "Saturation III".
II remember when II watched these music videos when the album came out (II also listened to the song for the first time), and II thought both songs are such bops!i Especially BOOGIE.
The music videos are also pretty awesome. Invisible spoilers: The last shot of ZIPPER is really cool!i
