Ben Platt: Grow as We Go

Obvious, it has a precise target. And the bitterness of message sounds well for define loneliness, sadness, dark thoughts and falls. But the dance ... . I am not convince than it real works as illustration. But, sure, a nice song, usebful in blue states.

Watched this randomly, was willing to give it a chance. Couldn't make it past the thirty second mark or so. The emotion feels so fake and the addition of the dancing feels so contrived and hollow and "trendy". This is the kind of product that's cynically created for such an audience to slop up. I'm sure they love it.
