Augustine – “Wishful Thinking” music video
“‘Wishful Thinking’ is about looking back at a destructive relationship and realizing how much that person broke you down. Also, maintaining a naive hope that it all might work out one day. The music video portrays a twisted love story where everyone falls victim to their own desire for love, with a little comical touch to it. We’re all obsessed with Wes Anderson films and found inspiration for the intro and cinematography there.” – Augustine
Augustine, Rassmus Björnson, and David Sahlberg directed the cinematic audiovisual, which was filmed on the dazzling Mediterranean island of Mallorca.
The video showcases Augustine’s penchant for dark love stories and mesmerizing landscapes. Also, his admiration for Wes Anderson’s signature cinematographic style.

“Hearing the EP from a distance, it became clear that this music grew out many years of me being afraid of being a disappointment to others. Also, all the lyrics were inspired by being afraid of people, the world and leaving things behind.” – Augustine
In conclusion, “Wishful Thinking” tells an interesting tale about looking back at something with both regret and lack. Also, it pinpoints the fear of forgetting how a certain person is, looks and sounds.
The likable tune contains a relatable storyline and pleasing vocals. Also, it possesses lush instrumentation which takes listeners on a thrilling synth-pop ride.
