Loved it!
Received vibes:
Top Gun nostalgia
Light’s Out - Rick Astley
Sun Soaked 80’s motorcycle montage
Loved some of the lyrical imagery in there, the parts about “worn out duffel, packing light”, “Can’t get enough of your Morse Code outline”, “Send me constellations”, it’s a funny premise objectively and the music video definitely has fun, but he manages to play it completely straight and heart-warmingly earnest at the same time.

Their is something definitely delightful and infectious about the synth pop the earnestness and the sheer amount of fun their having.
