      The following is an analysis of the video by jumbo from June 2 2023 "Here’s my thoughts on it. I’m in film school, and I was a Choir student for 12 years. This is all just incredible. Just figured I’d share my thoughts! Digging into the lyrics, the song is about a guy who wants to fall in love with a girl but can’t because he’s insecure that he’s too boring and predictable. Paradoxically, he wants to put himself out there and do great and exciting things - presumably to have something to talk about - but he’s too scared to do that too. He wants to be something, but he’s not saying anything at all literally and figuratively. Thus, the song’s title, Portrait of a Blank Slate, is an oxymoron representing the psyche of this hypothetical man. The music video is full of silent era components and surrealist imagery, which is a great way for director Ted Nivison to say he’s a film buff without saying he’s a film buff. Though it’s what he states in his BTS video, I drew much more from his vision than mere efforts to be “weird,” “old,” or “trippy.” I think the choice to splice public domain medical footage in with the rest of the music video expresses the hypothetical man’s acknowledgement that he is, on the most rudimentary level, exactly how everyone else exists. It’s fitting that footage that everyone has access to was used to convey that he’s got a body, he’s got a brain, and he feels he has nothing unique to do with it. I know that he’s telling himself this because of the edit that rapidly match cuts between the test subject and the scientist helming the experiment just before the title slides of various illnesses. Sometimes, match cuts are just done to create a smooth transition from one thing to another, but I firmly believe this is one of those cases suggesting the two subjects linked by the match cuts are one and the same. He is the test subject, and the scientists are the voices in his head, deconstructing him to the point of illness… mental illness. The lyrics sung at this exact point are “I guess you know now what to expect He lives your own life in retrospect You know it bores me? These insecurities Breaks you down just to act as the architect” Rewatching the music video again, I immediately paused it at this part and replayed it because it stood out to me as perfect synchronicity between soundtrack and cinematic language. This was certainly my favorite part, and this level of artistry totally stays maintained from start to finish. Lovejoy’s song slaps, Ted Nivison did a fine job directing the music video, and both parties accomplished so much in so little time. The project may tell a story about lacking individuality, but the project itself definitely earns its own"

    Here’s my thoughts on it. I’m in film school, and I was a Choir student for 12 years. This is all just incredible. Just figured I’d share my thoughts!
    Digging into the lyrics, the song is about a guy who wants to fall in love with a girl but can’t because he’s insecure that he’s too boring and predictable. Paradoxically, he wants to put himself out there and do great and exciting things - presumably to have something to talk about - but he’s too scared to do that too. He wants to be something, but he’s not saying anything at all literally and figuratively. Thus, the song’s title, Portrait of a Blank Slate, is an oxymoron representing the psyche of this hypothetical man.
    The music video is full of silent era components and surrealist imagery, which is a great way for director Ted Nivison to say he’s a film buff without saying he’s a film buff. Though it’s what he states in his BTS video, I drew much more from his vision than mere efforts to be “weird,” “old,” or “trippy.” I think the choice to splice public domain medical footage in with the rest of the music video expresses the hypothetical man’s acknowledgement that he is, on the most rudimentary level, exactly how everyone else exists. It’s fitting that footage that everyone has access to was used to convey that he’s got a body, he’s got a brain, and he feels he has nothing unique to do with it.
    I know that he’s telling himself this because of the edit that rapidly match cuts between the test subject and the scientist helming the experiment just before the title slides of various illnesses. Sometimes, match cuts are just done to create a smooth transition from one thing to another, but I firmly believe this is one of those cases suggesting the two subjects linked by the match cuts are one and the same. He is the test subject, and the scientists are the voices in his head, deconstructing him to the point of illness… mental illness. The lyrics sung at this exact point are
    “I guess you know now what to expect
    He lives your own life in retrospect
    You know it bores me? These insecurities
    Breaks you down just to act as the architect”
    Rewatching the music video again, I immediately paused it at this part and replayed it because it stood out to me as perfect synchronicity between soundtrack and cinematic language. This was certainly my favorite part, and this level of artistry totally stays maintained from start to finish.
    Lovejoy’s song slaps, Ted Nivison did a fine job directing the music video, and both parties accomplished so much in so little time. The project may tell a story about lacking individuality, but the project itself definitely earns its own.

    Hands down the best song from this EP. All the songs are awesome but this one hits the absolute hardest and its beautiful at the same time.

    We need more MVs with this style, Lovejoy!!!! I think it's the best music video you've done so far especially with the black and white and close up shots :)

    Even though I've grown out of the dsmp fandom and viewership, Lovejoy is still a really good band that I enjoy listening to. I really like the sound of this EP, as I'm more of a punk rock guy and this EP has really felt more like that. Overall, I am really enjoying Lovejoy, not as just a band run by a youtuber I like, but as a legitimate indie rock band that I enjoy a lot.

    It's so great to see how Lovejoy has grown as a band in these two years, everything feels more professional that it used to.
    I love AYA and PB, but WU&IO it's theor best job so far.
    Keep growing!

    holy shit this is SO cool. i love how lovejoy always strives to include people from wilbur's streamer career (i.e. ted nivision directing, who i believe was will neff in the chair) and creates absolute bangers every single time. truly a work of art :D
