"Sweater" by Spencer Sutherland



It's a fun song, but the video is really what makes it. The aesthetics, the cast of characters, the lyrics, the comedic timing, the dancing at the end, the facial expressions. Pure gold. Especially for a music video, you can tell a lot of thought and work went into this. It's like a three and a half minute movie. Props to the director, Seth Stern. There's too many subtle details to point out all of them, but my favorite is the three of them bowling on beat in the background behind Spencer as he sings. I'm also impressed with Spencer's range. That's quite high, and it doesn't sound strained in the least.

I think it's a pretty relatable situation that a lot of people have been in at some point in their lives. You break up with someone and then realize they still have your stuff, and somehow you have to get it back. Or, if the breakup is bad enough, just call it a loss and buy yourself a new one. Sometimes it's not worth having to see that person again. It amuses me that he decided to write an entire song about it.

I hope Spencer gets his sweater back.
