The video for Divorce’s single “Services” (as created by Clump Collective) gives us a glimpse into a past decade style-wise in a small flat with a small television on a scene of domestic turmoil. The song is clearly about that sense some people have that the little things they do to make their partner’s or family members’ lives easier that can be taken for granted but which are really the oft unrecognized glue that makes life simpler and smooths over minor challenges that really do take up a lot of our days when we have to take them into account ourselves. Little things some people never think about and stumble through life somehow getting by despite lacking every day skills that they should be glad someone else is willing to take on. Though the song seems to be one of the accumulation of minor conflicts and annoyances being what breaks so many people up in the end it is a humorous reminder to maybe not be an ungrateful boor because no one can do it all well and if you can find someone to be with either in a relationship, friendship or mere roommate situation that complements well your weaker areas count yourself fortunate. Musically it is a nicely dynamic pop song reminiscent of Rilo Kiley in its sharply observed lyrics and facility for expressing the nuances of the details of personal interaction and where things fall apart. All while offering an eclectic flavoring of Americana, rock and classic pop. Watch the video for “Services” on YouTube and follow Divorce at the links below.
