Music Video of the Day

This weekend I did something that I had never done before. I joined my brother and his friends for an evening of karaoke and a hot pot dinner – at the same time. The idea of this is so foreign to me because when I eat, my food has my full attention. I can barely keep up with the conversations going on around me let alone sing to a crowd. It actually ended up being a more low key dinner than we thought it might be so instead of doing both things, we had a queue going of our favorite songs and would casually sing along to them if we decided to do that. One thing that kind of surprised me though was that I had never really seen the music videos of these classic songs that I loved from way back when. I’m talking pre-TRL here. Someone at the table asked “Do music videos even still exist?” Yes! And I might be the only one watching them!

This bop from Calvin Harris’ latest album “Hard to Love” with Jessie Reyez was one of my favorites. Her interactions and movements in this video are totally what I do when I dance too.
