Alexi Blue’s new music video for her song “Easy Love” details the simplicity of love that has no deadline or expiration date. The video is simplistic as well, complimenting the lyrics, which are examples of the days when love isn’t complicated. The song is a refreshing take on what most ignore about love; the easy parts and how they coincide with why we choose to love someone in the first place. Nowadays lots of music lovers go first to the romanticism of love that’s manipulative and the songs that describe it; Alexi is breaking through those stereotypes without fear. The video depicts the possible inspiration and process of writing the song, reminiscing on past times and looking forward to when you can show your love in easy ways.
The song takes multiple listens to realize the simple nature of love in the first place. Perhaps it’s there to remind us that love is to some a feeling, to some a choice, but the definition of it can’t be doubted and re-worked so many times that it doesn’t exist. Maybe it’s a reminder to appreciate the times in which we fall victim to wanting the extreme of every situation, because the extremity in love is often the softest and smoothest kind.
