Singer-songwriters can be a serious bunch and Tamar Berk is no
exception. On her second solo album Start at the End (Bandcamp)
released earlier this year (and a strong follow-up to 2021's The Restless Dreams of Youth -- no sophomore slump for Berk), she once again writes honestly about adult relationships.
Berk describes her new single and video, “Alone Tonight,” as “a
song about those
moments when you are very aware that you are not going to be good company.” As
a child she was content to be alone for hours, making fake radio shows on her cassette
player and setting up her toys as an adoring audience.
It’s
that sense of youthful abandon that makes the “Alone Tonight” video so delightful.
Berk isn’t the first musician to make a video that doesn’t adhere to the song’s
message so we have a dancing-around-the-living-room
moment and it’s infectious.
