Tracklist

1: The Good Old Days (They Start Tonight)

A “wow” moment
for the start of
the album, this
cinematic video
subverts the
“party music
video” cliché by
turning the
events dark and
threatening.

This music video centers around
the “pool push” scene, where the
main character is pushed into a
pool, and crashes through a series
of frightening worlds.

2: 99 Proof Kisses

A short music video entirely composed of video scopes,
which dance to the music and leave the audience wondering
what is actually featured in the true picture.

3: Push Back the Dawn
A one-take choreographed dance video in the tradition of boy band
videos, staged on Purdue campus.

A video showcasing a collection of cinemagraphs: photos that have
some constant element of motion about them. This is the point in
the album where the music takes a dark and contemplative turn.

4: Windmills

5: Inspiration

The second cinematic music video;
a meditation on creativity, loss,
and self-improvement.

6: Crooked
Little Boy
A simple, conceptual music video:
Shadows dance and play instruments
on a wall, and the final shot pulls out
to reveal that there is nothing in the
room that could have been casting the
shadows.

7: Was I

Set in the theatre lighting lab, this
lighthearted video is a collaboration with
the theatre lighting department, and
features stage lighting programmed to the
music.

The third cinematic video and the “Dark Night of the Soul” of this album,
Skyglow features time lapse photography, night landscapes, and
collaboration with local visual artists.

8: Skyglow (feat. IMLXH)

9: Stranger
Than Fiction

The final track on the album.
This cinematic video
features kids, grown-ups,
and superheroes, and is a
triumphant victory over the
darkness and doubt of the
previous tracks.

Fantasia on Greensleeves

This short film is not technically part of The Best Years of
Your Life album, but is a cinematic work based on the
composition of the same name by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
