Molly Nilsson “Obnoxiously Talented“

Musicvideo by Molly Nilsson Camera by Rami Special thanks to J. McFarlane’s Reality Guest for the raincoats and Hjalmar for drinking all the beer Pippi, played by Molly Nilsson, is a young woman daydreaming her life away. Despite her obsession with luxury and money, she finds work and societal commitments boring. Living off the wealth accumulated by her absent father, a sea-faring colonial explorer, she spends her time indulging in nocturnal fantasies together with her two inanimate companions, a headless torso and a hedonistic skeleton. In Obnoxiously Talented we spend a day in the life of the three friends, freed from the shackles of convention and order. OBNOXIOUSLY TALENTED Obnoxiously talented, and ready to die Abandon your dreams now and forever wonder why Like something fallen from the sky, just enough to get you by Don’t even bother don’t even try oh I’ll come around and I’ll make you cry Giving up’s too easy and you know it You’ll need a better reason when you finally blow it Inside you laughter like a scream a violent death in your wildest dream I don’t even find it that extreme, now with everything going on What on Earth could go wrong? We’ll have our chance and then it’s gone Not always easy just holding on When you dream, I dream along Triumph will be fleeting and you know it If you’re up for the fight then get ready to show it They’ll praise your efforts, they’ll call you slurs a rebel, a master, an amateur Merely with your own existence you already offer your resistance Oh I know it’s a rotten deal, and I know just how you feel Don’t turn around, I’ll take the wheel it’s not a dream if we make it real Don’t die with sigh Let’s go with a battle cry Heaven forbid you’d ever give in We still have a world to win A world to win © DARK SKIES ASSOCIATION MMXXII
