Joji - Your Man - A freaking fantastic clip.

I should probably calm down.

No need to calm down; I love it and I'm so glad you brought it here! Love the video, love the song. I can't not mention, though, that it's sort of amusing to me that among my current crop of listening-to-obsessivelyobsessivelyobsessively tunes is "When I Get My Hands On You" — another "your man" song. Now I think I'll be adding this one to the list! :P

Interesting clip, thanks!

This is my current earworm: "He's Fine" by the Secret Sisters. Also kind of a "your man" song, or maybe, "who's man?"

First I wanted to make a joke about all Watney's potatoes having died, but then the scene shifted, and shifted again -- but then it repeated the loop of locations, and...I kind of got into it.

Thanks for this! Not my usual cup of tea, but it's good. What should I know about Joji that Wikipedia won't tell me?

I used to do that same writhing clutching wobbly dance at the club, but the soundtrack was different.

Oh hey!

One bit that I love about the video is the part where he's unfurling after landing in the beginning, and he just keeps getting taller ... ooh, more tall ... taller than I expect ... then a little bit taller still ... without it becoming obviously unrealistic or surreal, and I can't figure out if it's just the artistry of the dancer that makes that look so striking, or if there's some tricksy camerawork involved.

The video makes me anxious, but I love the song itself. Joji is great!

Cool though I had a hard time not seeing the dancer just replicating the movement patterns of the infected in Last of US. Not that that's a bad thing.
