Waiting for the Dog to Die

give me a reason to wake up in the morning I am waiting for the dog to die so I can shoot myself.

A bundled-up older man sits outdoors in a forest, looking weary and contemplative. The caption first asks for a reason to wake up, then abruptly reveals that he is waiting for his dog to die so he can shoot himself, creating bleak, shocking dark humor; his final smile and the solemn choral music make the contradiction even more absurd. The clip works as a reaction to extreme hopelessness or morbidly overdramatic patience, set to Bruno Coulais’s “Kyrie,” a haunting choral film-score piece.

Give me a reason to wake up in the morning. I don't have a clue. I'm waiting for the dog to die so I can shoot myself.
