Gotye’s “Heart’s a Mess” is a fabulous, evocative song, and one of the playlist songs for “Dangerous Space”. I imagine this as one of the songs Duncan writes during the story; I imagine Mars hearing the demo in the studio that night, this hand-inside-your-heart-and-other-places song. I imagine the band working it out. I imagine the live shows, the crowd singing back…. Bring on the F-tech.
Ah, I wish. Instead, I offer you this fantastic video with animation by Brendan Cook. I find it beautiful and compelling, and it would never have occurred to me in a million years to video the song this way. The variety and the power of human imagination amazes me every day. We see such different things inside us. And how wonderful to be able to share this way. Internet, I love you.
