Taste Test: Kisos just wants to live ‘Happily Ever After’
The electro-pop genius pulls the viewer into his journey from misery to redemption in a new video.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones.
Sometimes, we just have to wallow in the hurt like a pig slathering mud on its pink skin. It’s almost ritualistic in its cathartic implications. As you pass through the shadows of the past once again, your body emerges from the other side a bit more wounded, yes, but somehow blissfully empowered. Should be Song of the Summer ’19, Kisos‘ “Happily Ever After” hinges on the electro-pop genius reliving a past relationship over and over and over again, and he invites us into the brutally visceral nature of his journey in the accompanying visual. “I killed myself for you / You killed yourself for me / Now that we realize what went wrong / Can we move on happily,” he sings, refusing to accept his own very strange denial any longer. But he twists the knife deeper into his stomach before he can discard the now-bloody instrument. Soon, the stickiness of the pain washes clean from his chest; the past soon becomes nothing more than a passing fancy.
