Hayao Miyazaki would so approve.
Has Billie Eilish been immersing herself in the works of Hayao Miyazaki in quarantine? Eilish released the music video for “My Future,” her newest single, on July 30 — and the animation gives off major Studio Ghibli film vibes. The song and video both tell the narrative of growth and self-discovery, as an animated Eilish walks through stormy, rainy terrain and then, ultimately, finds a field of nature and sunshine. And fans of animation will definitely be reminded of Miyazaki’s mesmerizing animated films, such as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, and Kiki’s Delivery Service.
On the moody track, Eilish sings about being “in love with my future,» adding, “Can’t wait to meet her, and I’m in love, but not with anybody else, just wanna get to know myself.” It’s truly reflective of a quarantine state of mind, as everyone has forced to social distance and really be with themselves.
