Don’t mind that the video for “Idiot” looks like something that could have been a segment on Wonder Showzen with the woman in a romance with a giant white rabbit with blue eyes that seems to become perilously ill early into the relationship. This surreal visual is a perfect and poignant companion to a song seemingly about heartache, tragedy, loss and redemption. Its lush melodies and processional pace comes off like music from a dream where the sometimes nightmarish realities of real life turn out okay for real and where happy endings don’t have to be the stuff of fairy tales and movies. It is deeply hopeful and soothing even though the music video depicts the challenging realities that will visit us all at some point in our lives but which we can handle while feeling all of those painful emotions and not be sundered by them. Good Grim’s 2022 album Enchantment seems rich on songs that take heavy experiences and sets them to music that soften the blow without watering down the emotions.
