DESCRIPTION:
Jellyfish were the perfect power pop band...beautiful melodies and huge hooks! They only released two albums before breaking up and this song, "Glutton Of Sympathy" is from their 2nd album 1993's Spilt Milk. This is my favorite song from another album filled with great songs.

The video ended up containing Sunset Blvd. theme...not sure why, but it did. I realize that the song doesn't exactly describe the character in the film, but the song makes me think of fading (hollywood) stars, and Norma Desmond is the most faded of them all.

This video happened pretty fast....just single video clip, a couple of After Effects comps, a few simple masks, and whole lot of long and multiple fade transitions...hope ya like it!

[Lyrics]
In the breathless hush of 4 a.m.
In the dark sits a sad cliche.
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars
Tell me how this came to be
Sleeplessness talk to me
She'd say over and over again
Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marraiges of friends
You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over again that this is the end
Cause I see it in your eyes
What you don't know, time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much more out there to be learned
Such mournful words on this snowwhite vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again
Tossing turning roll away
Indescision won't you ever make up your mind
Lifetime Nightime wake the day
Cause tomorrow will see if you've had your fill of sympathy
Will you never cease to be the glutton of sympathy?
Don't you know the stars are all fading let the sunshine capture
the sparkle of your smile
