It feels like I only go backwards, baby

Feels like we only go backwards, darling

The film made up from over 1000 plasticine collages is the creative brainchild of psychedelic duo Becky and Joe. They are known for their educational webseries Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared.
To me, at the time, that was like the most pop song I’ve ever written. I’ve never written a song that was just: chorus. I was really proud of that one. There was never time when I’ve doubted that song. It feels like it’s the most effortless.
