The Last Dinner Party 'Count The Ways' by Grajper

Rob Ulitski - 20th Oct 2025

Grajper directs a moonlit, surrealist fantasy for The Last Dinner Party. 

The video for Count The Ways finds the group in the middle of a model village, performing as a montage of illusory vignettes play out on screen. 

Imbued with unearthly, liminal vibes, it's a striking concept and one that fits perfectly within the offbeat videography the group has built over the last couple of years. 

Everything is familiar, but [the world] is too small, too artificial, too perfect.

"The heart of the song is about love, heartbreak, and the refusal to accept that something beautiful has ended," Grajper explains. "It’s about being trapped in grief, circling around loss, and being unable to move forward.

"For TLDP, that emotional space feels like being locked in a prison that is invisible yet everywhere, a cage built out of memories and feelings. That’s why the miniature park is such a powerful starting point. It’s a world that is at once charming and eerie. Everything is familiar, but it’s too small, too artificial, too perfect.

"When we place our heroine in this world she instantly becomes estranged from it: she is either too large for the space, breaking out of it, or she’s wandering through its streets like a ghost who doesn’t belong."
