OneRepublic - Invincible
At 23, I was writing my undergraduate thesis about the Lacanian return of the repressed in Godzilla (1954). At 36, I’m channeling mild frustration about belligerent Tokyo taxi drivers and dehumanising self-checkouts into a music video about a retired Kaiju. Older, definitely not wiser. Unlike Ryan Tedder and OneRepublic, who are aging like fine wine. Thanks to the band and their creative director Brody Harper for letting us have fun with this one.
