Terminal Serious, a Florence-based darkwave and post-punk band, released a video for “Every Time You Cry,” directed by Elio De Filippo. The black-and-white film explores attachment and memory through the image of a woman accompanied by a stone, serving as metaphor for emotional burden and identity. The track, from the band’s third album Tear You Away, marks a sonic shift toward minimalism, replacing electric bass with Roland analogue synthesizers and stripping guitars of distortion for crystalline precision. Thematically, the work examines how pain becomes companionship and how loss shapes identity. De Filippo’s visual approach emphasizes gesture and materiality, treating separation as a tangible problem rather than abstract sorrow. The album itself navigates contradictory emotional states—pride, shame, fear, loneliness—while maintaining possibility for hope and renewal.
