video: "How Do I Get What I Want" - Sad Girls Aquatic Club
For their latest, and truly greatest, video, Sad Girls Aquatic Club bring to life a talent show. It’s the perfect visual accompaniment for “How Do I Get What I Want,” a track that’s entirely focused on well, getting what your heart desires. In the case of this clip, the Sad Girls Aquatic Club desires a win in the school talent show, but they have to face off against the Sparkle Bratz to get it. The soundtrack — which begins with a jolting dose of synths — is dreamy and moody; honeyed, lush vocals dripping with emotion are set against a repetitious instrumental backdrop that’s prickled with glittering keys and guitar. Again and again, the group questions, “How do I get what I want?” And while no answer ever seems to come, the song’s fantastical nature and its unhurried pacing are the perfect setting to do your own personal pining for something more.
