    Small Black is a perfect example of that special band that can simultaneously evoke feelings of joy and sadness, equal parts. Dunno how they do it, but I do know that I love them. From the heartbroken and fragile vocals to the dreamy 80s inspired synth pop and new wave, Small Black are one of a kind.

      As a 35 year old autistic adult who stayed in his room all his life, this video provokes feelings of a life not lived, all the missed experiences, regret

    This record has been there with me during so many amazing points in my life. Just some things stick with you forever. Limits of Desire is one of those things for me.

    It's amazing when a music video director can capture emotion like this from a song not with a bunch of special effects and editing, but just a sequence of everyday and not-so-everyday moments that make our lives and the world we live in so diverse and beautiful. I aspire to create videos/films like this that make me appreciate the life I get to share with those around me. It's so inspiring. Thank you Small Black and Nick Bentgen and the whole crew. Terrific job!

      Rafael This song is for 1) emo girl cry parties or 2) luring emo girls into trouble. So which of those is your particular interest in this song...? Shall I guess?

    I love how this captures different perspectives on everyone.
    The whole breathless theme on how every culture perceives life.
    I see it as everyone's weeknd , but notice how everyone's day goes differently in the suburbs , the hood , country side and city life.
    Gives you a taste on how everyone's Friday or weeknd went.. Some the greatest day of their lives and some not so well.
    But that's life.
    Great video.

    I'm standing in tomorrow's way
    Future's fine
    Least it seems okay
    It doesn't mean a miracle
    Should be turned away
    On that day
    Saw both my life and death
    In two lines
    Felt the kick of fate
    There I was invisible
    Just out of phase
    There's no sun, no storm
    No time, nowhere
    Breathless
    For a moment I was
    Nowhere
    Breathless
    There's no sun, no storm
    Nowhere
    Breathless
    For a moment I was
    Breathless
    Between the void and the parade
    Were in due time
    And they feel the same
    Even if I wanted to
    Well I can't explain
    Just how could I be standing here
    Across divides
    Unhurt, unfazed
    It didn't feel impossible
    But it looked that way
    There's no sun, no storm
    No time, nowhere
    Breathless
    For a moment I was
    Nowhere
    Breathless
    There's no sun, no storm
    Nowhere
    Breathless
    For a moment I was
    Breathless
    For a moment I was fine
    For a moment I was fine
