Can't believe this was meant to be filmed in Japan

Not only is the song phenomenal, the music video has a feel to it I'm not sure I've experienced before, and I've seen a lot of them.

Not that it's a rarity to have MVs shot against green screen, many are, but the fact that this was originally slated to be shot in Kyoto proper is truly fascinating. The idea that they needed to change tact meant they could have done any number of things, but I'm so glad this is how they elected to shoot.

The look and low-budget feel really impresses the idea that the song is not aiming for a philosophical or hugely introspective POV on Bridgers' part. It feels as though she's really speaking to her dad alone, and not the audience on the whole. Really great stuff.
