Summary
Highlights
The protagonist expresses her desire to entertain people, not just be a songwriter or sex symbol. She seeks something 'big' and 'new,' leading to the suggestion that she should be a Neil Diamond 'interpreter' rather than an 'impersonator.'
She forms a duo, describing their potential as 'lightning and thunder' – a dynamic partnership that needs to catch up on things. This implies a significant project or performance awaits them.
The protagonist touches upon personal hardships, including a father who crawled over dead bodies in Vietnam and drank, and her need for reassurance that she's making the right choices. She expresses a deep desire to 'sing and shine' despite bad things happening.
The video transitions to a performance, highlighting the protagonist's transformation and immersion in the music. She feels 'huge' and 'disappears in the music,' acknowledging the support of her partner, to whom she feels all her gratitude belongs, calling him her 'August night, my September morning,' and 'crackling roy,' returning to the 'lightning and thunder' theme.
