Animator Julie Seaward brings to Pink Sky’s single “False Aralia” a real embodiment of the deep sense of isolation and loss one hears in the song. And as with the ethereal, dreamlike music and almost childlike hopefulness in the lyrics we see a a young woman who spends time walking alone in the rain and staring into clouds, yearning and hoping for the kind of reconciliation that can feel out of reach when you feel like you’ve lost someone because of some actual or perceived transgression and your mood spins off into a spiral of desolation that feels melodramatic later but because of the strength of the bond you felt seems so significant can feel so overwhelming. But there isn’t anger here, just echoes of melancholia. In the chous of “I am here don’t feed the fear I am here don’t feed the fear” we hear the reassurance needed to avert the hypnotic narrative into personal darkness.
