[patdrunksingalong]

[MademoisellleF]

Who Needs the music, YOU ARE MY MUSIC !

[MademoisellleF]

ooooooh...Baby ! Baby ! Baby ! BABYYY !!

[draw1ngs]

This is one of the best videos ever. Full screen and volume, that canary is possessed!

[edibletalkingchairs]

2:23 nomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnomnom

[theemikey1966]

have to agree, what a boring video.

[staggersu]

what evolving evik-ving.

hoe needs...........

you are................

for how long is the room rented?????????????????strong footage,

really new STYLE OF TAKING MAKING videwos

evil-tastic.

i love it

[surferofromantica]

Great video - that vampire squid is truly hideous.

[mukus198666]

Great song.... Shame about the video. Think it's time for them to move on from using John Hillcoat. Some of his work it's becoming very weak.

[MyManface]

one of the few instances when a bright orange bird on a perch is 10 times more terrifying than a squid monster..thing.

[staggersu]

i was in utrecht when grinderman2 had the gig in Utecht

R.I.P mein geliebter vater 20.10.2010

[TheVelvetUnderdog]

I did NOT like the way that bird looked at me.

[jasongsux]

This is like some fan-made video edited from stock footage. Really, these particular squid shots are from "The Natural World" documentary. What a letdown.

[JanEgbersNL]

@jasongsux Can't you see how evil that squid is?

[jasongsux]

@JanEgbersNL Uhm... No. It's quite cute actually. I'd have it in an aquarium or something.

[averilleX]

LMFAO the little bird makes me LOL! It couldn't give a shit! HAHAHA

Is the other thing a squid?

[scubidesm]

QUE BUEN VIDEO Y QUE GRANDIOSA CANCIÓN!!!!!!!! es bueno deleitar los sentidos con esta gran banda....

[zciwonamor]

The vampire squid from hell :) Nice choice.

I have no idea, as usual, what I think about this video. First I hated it completely, and found it repulsive and boring. But it is another one that I cannot get out of my head...

[catherinegodard]

En français, on dit, "c'est chiant".

Pourtant, j'adore les animaux... et encore plus Nick Cave.

[theoriginaljeffro]

Wow. Thanks for letting me know, that's a relief. Here I was - my entire life - worried that I was an intelligent, extremely thoughtful, deeply ponderous human being.

PS: Your grammar sucks worse than this video.

[lala7035]

The most evil is over a minute long black/grey nothingness at the end of the video...

[forceofamber]

Hate this video?? I'm not sure I've ever seen a video match the song so perfectly!

[r3cusant]

I like Nick Cave. I like this album. I like this song. I like the bird and the space background. I HATE this video. Stupid.

[hamid236]

Looks like Yogsoroth incarnate swimming outside the circles of time

[johnpeelfeel]

Who needs a record player? You are my record player!

[willthomas87]

Great tune, great director usually, craptacular video.

[jimmybobbin]

So god let the devil create one animal..

[antisocial315]

2:51 I think that's the "evil" they're talking about.

[betterbeavailable]

Nice bird.

[Charlts]

helps if you drop acid half an hour before viewing

[russianbathhouse]

This is going to give me nightmares, I tell you. Nightmares.

[logancinque]

Jesus,it's real !

vampire squid. search on wikipedia.

[YarrowNjune]

what is that thing? A space manatee?

[zavod]

I like the conceptual silence at the end

[thisisawindup]

Strange, perhaps the video was meant for another song? Great music though!

[Crowjane]

Freud would be proud. And a bit disturbed. ;)

[kknev]

jesus, what is this thing!?

[asjabluedog]

@kknev a vampire squid (from hell) it is an astounding creature look it up and also check out the amazing light show it can put on to confuse enemies.

[Huckxxx]

interesting video. pointless song.

[pthody]

@ asjabluedog: 12 dates in Jan/Feb next year

[evanimonlydancing]

the octopus thing during the verse is eerily suiting

[cortexoccipital]

probably the best video of the year but the album sucks

[danielhl22]

@cortexoccipital you to listen to it more!! it takes time

[asjabluedog]

Nick Cave is Australian and yet sadly this is always the last place the Bad Seeds or Grinderman ever play =(

[alleyloveshayley]

This was surprisingly intense... there were parts where I wanted to look away.

[dhencharl14sweettie]

its a vampire squid or something.. i think i saw it at nat geo or some nature show..

[looksdirty]

Zzzzzz... It looks like experimental footage Hillcoat shot at some point and then someone decided to put it to the song so the band wouldn't have to take part in the process of doing a video.

[ThiagoJugler]

Nick Cave é o ALTERNATIVO.

[Firemsi]

The track is cool, we can all assume that. However, I couldn't grasp what the clip tries to evoke or depict. Even though I tried as I might, I couldn't understand what the creature gliding in the space tries to tell.

[webjobdesign]

yes it's a Vampyroteuthis infernalis, as known as vampire squid

[illmorn]

Wow! That was fantastically hypnotic and intriguing.

[Klinkovichka]

somewhat disturbing.

[rijstevlaai]

What the fuck was that? 

[LaraCraftMaster]

przeraża

[BadSeeder666]

COOOOOOL

[srmcg19]

great song. shite video

[Stiffkittens01]

This song is just amazing performed live!

[TheSpaceboss]

Cool video! I love the dichotomy of the purity of the bird and the repulsiveness of, was that a cuttlefish. Unfortunately evil usually comes in a prettier package. I thought the song was a bit weak though.

[horsedoctorman]

@TheSpaceboss i believe it's a vampire squid

[heymarlarae]

bird says it all at 1:15

[zalagnes]

cool idea, but left me wanting something more.

[hpaulmoon]

Another phoned-in effort from the formerly rich collaboration between John Hillcoat and Nick Cave. First "Heathen Child," now this - time to stop. (They didn't even bother editing out the extra 1-1/2 minutes of blank video; if they should call that blackness "art," it will be as comedic as a moment from "This Is Spinal Tap.")

[theoriginaljeffro]

That was boring as hell. I love Grinderman and John Hillcoat but this video does very little for me.

[AgentMcQueen]

@theoriginaljeffro 100% agreed!

[asjabluedog]

@theoriginaljeffro seems to be going back to the days where the song sells the single (or cd) rather than the film clip, which really is the way it should be. Not saying I don't enjoy a good film clip, just saying that the song should be the more important thing.

[gingerberry85]

@theoriginaljeffro

Your dense.

[xBattsey]

That was insanely cool.

[TrigFilms]

bird looks stoned
