"Buckets is an emotional purge for me and I hope the song can be that for the listener as well. This video was made in Copenhagen. It was different and really fun and exciting for me to let go and really trust putting it in the hands of the director and the beautiful girls acting in the video. Everything looks cooler in Europe, so I let them run with it, experiment and embrace the song." - Elohim
"We wanted to find some unspoiled youth for this video. We had to go on the streets for days to scout for potential actors. We wound up with these four girls who all knew about the streets and the culture that we wanted to portray. Elohim has a crazy artistic vibe around her and we really wanted to push these girls into her visual universe. We had to give them time to learn each other’s habits and let them develop a friendship in order to make them forget about the camera. Our talented DOP Jacob Møller didn’t want the girls to acknowledge him at all, and therefore, I as a director – had to step in and pretend to be their friend in order to get the results we wanted. The whole video is shot around the fashionable neibourghood Nørrebro and Copenhagen where all of the girls grew up. Therefore they knew all the corners and streets. We just had to follow them around and let them act out their inner demons." - Jonas Risvig
Lyrics:
Suddenly I’m filled with hope
Today’s much better than the day before
Everything looks beautiful
After the rain, after the rain
My world’s in color now
My eyes get wide tryna take it in
Everything is good somehow
After the rain, after the rain
Buckets
Filling up my cup like fuck it
I’m running
Make a mess Wu-Tang bring the ruckus
I’m making a mess
Suck it
You left me out in the rain like I was nothin’
You ain’t nothin’, you’re just frontin’
Walkin’ ‘round like you above it
You ain’t above it, you’re fuckin’ budget
You make me sick to my stomach
I might throw up in a bucket
No more black clouds of dust
I can see forever if I wanted to
It’s clearer than it ever was
After the rain, after the rain
Sometimes it hurts so much
Before you feel the freedom of the truth
These chains are destroyed by rust
After the rain, after the rain
