MØ has released a music video for “When I was Young”. “When I Was Young”will be a part of the EP that will be coming out of the same name. This follows MØ and Cashmere Cat announcing winter tour.
The video starts out with the artist in white clothing looking out towards the artist in the red dress in the distance through the gloomy streets. The artist in the red dress starts walking through the streets and later starts dancing with a type of passion showing. The artist in the white joins the red dress in reflective movement. As the video continues, another character of the artist in black is introduced along with masked skeleton individuals and they try to separate the artist in white and the artist in red, failing in the end. The video can be watched below.
According to the press release, MØ states “I’m so happy to present this video because it feels very true to the song and to who I am. It was inspired by a painting called ‘The Dance Of Life’ by one of my favorite artists, Edvard Munch. It’s an illustration of three women—one in white, one in red and one in black—and tells a story about three stages of human life: youth, maturity, and old age. I was always drawn to this image as a kid due to its simple symbolism and emotion and have been dying to do a video that could reflect on it. Since ‘When I Was Young’ is all about nostalgia and reflecting on life—especially the past, but also the now and the future—it just seemed like the perfect time to do it. J.A.C.K. came up with the idea of me playing all three women at the same time, dancing the dance of life, seduced, intrigued and fooled by each other, and they took this whole idea to levels I couldn’t even have dreamed of.”
