Radio Static

Challenge: MORSE CODELiner Notes
I sort of tuned in to this one and just followed it where it was going.
The morse code in the background is the signal rating that receiving operators will send to let the transmitting station know how their signal is coming through.

Lyrics
I would be alone Except for these thoughts Running through my head They don't come through clearly It's all radio static
They won't leave me alone How'd they get there anyway I'll probably never know They don't come through clearly It's all radio static
I turn up the noise keep trying to hide singing along to radio static
I would be alone Except for these thoughts Running through my head They don't come through clearly It's all radio static

That's a nice trail from challenge to the overall, um, intent. The lyrics fit with the feel wonderfully ... "alone except for these thoughts" has a nicely opaque clarity!
I like the contrast 'twixt the muted picking and, um, zingy strumming (can you tell I'm not a guitar player?!). Those static & Morse touches add a subtle production sheen.
The home movie is wonderfully baffling: perfect curation!

captures a feeling of both isolation and the chaos. morse code elements add a unique touch, and a cool way to draw inspiration from the prompt and flip it. overall well-suited vibe and atmosphere (the video is a nice touch, too)!
