Garbage - There's No Future In Optimism (Official Music Video)

The official music video for Garbage's new single There’s No Future in Optimism, off their forthcoming album ‘Let All That We Imagine Be The Light’.

“I love the title. The band sent it me and I was like, “This is great. I’m keeping that.” But the lyrics are an action against that title. Because if we allow our fatalism or our negativity to really take over, we will crumble. It’s about a city, in my case, Los Angeles, but it could be anywhere where bad stuff is happening. After the George Floyd murder, which is one of few things in my life that I wish I’d never seen: I was changed entirely by seeing the footage of that cop kneeling on George Floyd’s neck. In Los Angeles there were huge protests and a lot of upheaval after that. Above our house in Hollywood, there were helicopters all day long, for days on end. It was really precarious, chaotic and terrifying.” - Shirley Manson

Lyrics:
If you’re looking for love…………

If you’re looking for love…………

If you’re looking for love…………

If you’re looking for love…………

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future

The night is dark and full of terror
The air is thick with helicopters
People marching, cops are swarming
The city’s on fire and the sirens are screaming

You and I, we have a chance
We could leave this place and rewrite our romance
Let’s go dancing, not talk for a while
The sky’s so beautiful, the stars are wild

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future
Future, Future
Love, Love
Future

There is no future that can’t be designed
With imagination and a beautiful mind
Did I disgrace myself, bring shame to the flock?
I was sick with resentment
I couldn’t help myself

The earth is shaking
I want to go home
The clock is ticking
We’ll go it alone
The rest is history, a host of mistakes
A strange turn of events
An unfortunate mess

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future
Future, Future
Love, Love
Future

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love

If you are ready for love, If you are ready for love

Future, Future
Love, Love
Future
Future, Future
Love, Love
Future
