I got really excited when listening to Lena Dunham on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast last week and she revealed that she directed the new music video for her boyfriend Jack Antonoff’s band Bleachers, and now it’s here! The song is titled “I Wanna Get Better” and the video features Jack as a therapist with his own set of problems, and a roster of patients that includes the incomparable Marietta Sirleaf — aka Retta — aka Donna Meagle from Parks and Rec!
Here’s the video:
I didn’t know I was lonely
Til I saw your face
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
I didn’t know I was broken
Til I wanted to change
I wanna get better
Better, better, better
I wanna get better
Love it! And love Retta and Mike Doyle:
Speaking of Retta and Mike Doyle, here are their Twitter reactions to the video’s release today as well as a few others:
So I guess I’m a video chick now. What what!
