In “Evergreen” Jovi Skyler takes the format of a two minute, fuzzy punk song to make some comments on the kind of relationship that feels exciting and passionate but which because of its ups and downs becomes exhausting in the end. The music video deftly uses a wide range of colors and imagery and motion to depict how while there can be much motion it is essentially the same in the end. And sometimes when you don’t know that things can be different and you are able to somehow forget the low times it does seem new again when it’s at the high point and when you can feel like things are stable only to have that emotional carpet yanked out from underneath you yet again. It’s like a mantra of self-destruction, a habit of a narrative one repeats to oneself about how things are fine and that’s how all relationships go until you get to the breaking point and it’s that reality as well as capturing the dynamic that makes Skyler’s song so poignant. Fans of Dead Milkmen and Jay Reatard may find much to appreciate here. Watch the video for “Evergreen” on YouTube and connect with Skyler at the links below.
