Am I wrong to hunger?

The repetition of the phrase "Am I wrong to hunger?" in this song by Etienne de Crécy is seen as a reflection of the artist's inner conflicts and struggles. The hunger referred to in the lyrics is not just physical hunger, but also an emotional hunger, a longing for something that may be missing in one's life. It can be interpreted as a desire for success, love, happiness, or anything that one believes will fulfill them. The repetition of the line could also signify the artist's confusion or insecurity about whether his strong desire for success or fulfillment is healthy or not. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and questioning, compelling the listener to think about what they hunger for in their own life and whether it is right or wrong.

I never saw this video as a child, I found songs by Etienne de Crécy looking for producers similar to daft punk in 2013, but without a doubt these animations in conjunction with the music make them a masterpiece of art. greetings from Mexico

I remember seeing 2 of these amazing videos on local TV way back when -- this one and “Scratched”. More recently I found the vid for “Tempovision” here on YouTube, in the same style.

This one is easily the most unsettling of the lot. But all three are worth watching.

I wonder how much CPU power it took to render this sort of thing, back in the late 1990s...
