“So down we go like dominoes, our lives go by too fast, nobody lives to see the future.”

The Limousines have premiered a music video for “The Future,” a track taken from the San Francisco electropop duo’s 2011 album, Get Sharp, that takes a realistic view of death. However you might meet your end — and the band’s new mini-movie presents several striking/shocking scenarios — it is The End, full stop, no matter what “modern-day mythology” might have you otherwise believe.

Unusually morbid subject matter for a pop song, perhaps, but with a production as bright and catchy as this, you’ll find yourself nodding your head along with “The Future” in agreement. And really, the takeaway isn’t a total downer, with The Limousines’ Eric Victorino and Giovanni Giusti reminding us to make the most of whatever time we’ve got on this Big Blue Marble: “I wanna laugh as many times as I can before I die, I wanna love, I wanna smile, just wanna fuck every once in a while.” Not a bad way to go.

The Limousines are currently touring Europe, opening for The Sounds. To learn more about the making of the music video for “The Future,” head here, and watch the NSFW version over at Vimeo.
