Watch the Animated Sci-Fi Video for “I Was Always Talking” from Frankie Cosmos and Sam Kogon

In October, psych-pop artist Sam Kogon released “I Was Always Talking,” a duet with folk rocker and 2014 Best of What’s Next pick Frankie Cosmos. Kogon has described the track as a “friend break-up” song about “beginning to realize that some of my friends I still knew from college were no longer my friends anymore.”

This poignant concept has been given a bizarre and dramatic spin in the newly released animated music video. The protagonists are quite literally star-crossed lovers, an alien (Cosmos) and human (Kogon) who are forced to separate when Cosmos returns to the cosmos. The end credits read: “Now human boy alone eternity. Human boy write song about the infinite sad.”

For an eccentric glimpse into the infinite sad, watch “I Was Always Talking,” produced by the filmmaking duo Hotdog Sandwich, above.
