 The music video “Leftovers” by queer Filipinx singer-songwriter, sayang, delves into the emotional aftermath of a broken relationship. Through a series of evocative visuals, we follow a woman (movement artist Hailey Summers) as she navigates the haunting memories that remain in her bedroom. Everyday objects, once shared with their partner, now serve as painful reminders of a connection lost. As she attempts to move forward, the past keeps pulling her back, revealing the tension of holding on and letting go. The video captures the quiet moments of introspection, the struggle to reconcile with unresolved feelings, and the slow, painful process of healing. In the end, “Leftovers” is a poignant exploration of the emotional residue that lingers long after love has departed, visually exploring intuitive movement and breathwork as a grounding process toward clarity, presence and moving forward every day. |
