“It’s Not Enough” — Black Marble Has Too Many Options, But No Satisfaction in Video for “Anything”

Brooklyn artist Black Marble (Chris Stewart) releases a music video for “Anything,” a track that reframes The Rolling Stones’ “Satisfaction” for the modern era of infinite choice and disposable connections. The song features minimalist instrumentation—dry drums, chiming guitar, and restrained keyboards—evoking early post-punk influences like Pylon and Wire. Stewart’s lyrics explore how abundance paradoxically breeds dissatisfaction: “I want to dream us up. I’ll do anything, but it’s not enough!” The piece examines how contemporary dating and relationships carry built-in expiration dates when every option remains instantly replaceable. Director Scott Kiernan’s accompanying video, shot in New York, visualizes this digital overwhelm through layered imagery and visual clutter surrounding Stewart’s meditative presence, creating a commentary on overstimulation masking deeper human disconnection in contemporary life.
