Glimpse of Us is a heartbreaking ballad by Joji, an Australian-Japanese singer, rapper, comedian, and former YouTuber. This melancholy song was one of 2022's breakout hits, and the meaning is pretty straightforward: a guy's contemplation of his current vacant love when he's mentally occupied with his ex. However, the true meaning of the song is open to interpretation.

With the tender melodies and soulful vocals, I decided to go with blue as the dominant color. While having positive traits like calm and serene, blue also represents sadness and despair. It is a haunting color, perfect for a heartbreaking tale of a tormented relationship.
This piece uses a slow, steady 12 fps collage animation to deliver the gentleness and sorrow in Joji's singing.
