I know nothing of Darkways. From what I can gather, it is a solo artist who clearly has 80's, Goth, Industrial tendencies when it comes to their (I don't know how they identify - so this seems easier) music.
Honestly, "Madness" sounds like so many other bands of the 80s and of my youth. Sisters of Mercy comes to mind, as do Camouflage or Bauhaus.
None of that is a complaint or judgement.
The video for the song - or a rendition of it - came through my IG feed. It's not a band video per se. I'm not sure if it is a fan-based one or not, but the entire thing is taken from the 1985 movie, the Breakfast Club.
The version of the video I saw was exactly the same except for that it was in black and white with the exposure tweaked a bit to make it look goth-like.
That said, the choreography from 40 years ago pairs extremely well with a song from 2023.
Should you want to feel old(er), just look at it on YouTube's page and read the comments. "The girl with the pink shirt is killing it...' ".
They don't even know it's Molly Ringwald and who knows, might not even be aware that the video is made up from clips from a movie that as old as their parents, which they've never seen or even hard of.
Ouch!
