It’s July 25, 1969. Apollo 11 landed on the moon just five short days ago. And Iowa musician Miss
Christine has warped backwards through more than five decades of history to
perform on the iconic stage of the Surf Ballroom, where Buddy Holly played his last show before his tragic death. The music video tells a story about time travel, human identity and the malleable nature of reality.

Lyrics:
Oh how I long for human connection
But I’m stuck here battlin’ perfection
Not quite sure what’s the best medicine
It’s absurd, have you heard?
Humans spent many years trying to figure out
How to make it to the moon we did it without a doubt
Now the internet makes it so clear to see
The buffoons who graduated Google University
Looking out my window with excruciating existential dread
Am I the only one who is right in the head?
I form my own thoughts and don’t pretend to know
Because I don’t and that’s okay
Humans spent many years trying to figure out
How to make it to the moon we did it without a doubt
Now the internet makes it so clear to see
The buffoons who graduated Google University
It’s not okay to make assumptions
That aren’t based on facts
You look like an ass
I’m not sorry that this is crass
Humans spent many years trying to figure out
How to make it to the moon we did it without a doubt
Now the internet makes it so clear to see
The buffoons who graduated Google University
I’m sorry that you cannot see
The truth that is reality
Get me the fuck out of here
