I Monster - These Are Our Children

[neurotichellfem]

I love the mating of the music & images, and if there's one thing I love, it's a good mating!

[Razorlimited]

[MadiiOMG]

i heard this song on uderbelly; just before jason moran got shot infront of his kids ;(

[2DNoodleRusselmurdoc]

The music and pictures are Errie, yet they draw you in and make you crazy and turn the errieness into something beautiful.

[rachoote]

Two of my favourite things too

[sLePpInG]

Mark Ryden must had a creepy childhood, and this song makes it even creepier

love them both though

[zechssnickerdoodle08]

Ok, the song isn't that bad, but the pics are disturbing and will haunt my dreams forever. O.O

[otterpop478]

[cafelatine]

[JACKOFSPADES253]

[Chafalota]

The person who drew those drawings is Artist Mark Ryden,he draws surreal art.

[bella1957]

A perfect union ....Two very unusual and strange art pieces which lend well upon each other. Thanks for sharing your video and naming the music, very much appreciated.

[chocobees]

the picture is insane and the song is pretty good too

[Jenniferwinshipmark]

[qazizada01251]

[iTrollWithMyPantsOff]

I Monster threw this song towards creepy but overshot it into the strange realm into trippy.

Fuckin' sweet.

[TakeoOkameee]

After watching underbelly this song always reminds me of the scene where Jason Moran got killed.

[f1f2f3f4f4]

same :D

[domie18]

??/ lol. im putting this song in my new series im making. this was also in an episode of underbelly, episode 9!

[iTzStaticv2]

This is pretty fucked up right here

[47Cyanide47]

Hey I'm trying to work out the piano bit that is at the start of the song.

Anyone think they can help?

[Srbouhi]

who is the artist who painted all these pics?

[StolenBatteries]

Mark Ryden, read the description. Failure.

[seanybob78]

Fail....lol.

[cashoo22]

ok, so the artist has a thing for children, animals, and HUNKS OF RAW MEAT Q.Q

[AutumnzRiot77]

i love the images and this song so much.!

<3

[coogeeboy2006]

This track was used by Channel 9 in Australia in a scene on their series about the Melbourne Crime wars called Unsderbelly. It plays during the murder of Jason Moran and Pasquale Barbaro in their minivan in front of Jasons children. Absolutely chilling scene made even more so by their use of this track.

I gotta say, the scene and the track just meld together and to anyone who hasn`t seen Underbelly, get it! Awesome series, love it.

That one scene got me into I Monster now I love them too!

[damo69er06]

underbelly is the shiiiit ppl fukn gotta get good old melbourne

[stripedhyenuh]

This is easily my least favorite I Monster track (though it's still pretty good). But those're some neat pictures.

[drcheese999]

the party never ends the games begins again...

w00p w00p love the song love the pics <3

[vanyliababy]

I love this song for a long time, but I never seen these images! But this is perfect together! =)

[TheDemonsDead]

oh, my....GOD!!!

Very fantastic song..

I Love Mark Ryden...

Very Goooooood...!

[jacobspace]

obsession with babys, wood, and meat hahah

[shadowofsilence09]

Interesting images....awesome song :}

[SirQuaks]

MY GOD THIS IS SOME DISTURBING IMAGES!!!!

good song though.

[shadowofsilence09]

LOL I thought the exact same thing :P

[oskbA1]

underbelllyy!

[VashFanGirl]

^^ thats where i heard it the first time Underbelly and im inlove with it since

[IMONSTERBAND]

Our song 'These Are Our Children' is absolutely NOT about paedophilia. It's a horror story with horrific children being horrific in it. So there.

x Monsterz

[holmescreek]

No, the song in no way references pedophilia in the lyrics. However, you missed the point. The comments where not about the song, but about the paintings of Mark Ryden that come into great question.

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

Mark Ryden might be a pedophile, but his pictures are not pedophilic. They are pictures of children, yes. So Mark Ryden likes children. Is that wrong? I like children. Does that make me a pedophile? Or are you just jealous that I can handle kids better than you can?

I love children, and I love these pictures. They are very artistic and eerie.

[Dethmeister]

Oh ok I misread your first comment holmescreek.

[holmescreek]

Well, I've never seen "horrific" children in real life. So, the music is playing on personal perceptions of children that have played in horror movies. Children that where put into costume, to act a role in movies.

I've seen many children that may seem to be "horrific" or "creepy" in appearance because their physical or mental condition.

So, remember, the most "creepy" child that you have ever seen is nothing but an actor in a horror movie -- and not a real child, in the real world.

[araleztri]

Jesus, holmescreek. What does that have to do with anything?

[holmescreek]

I Monster is not a pedophile band. Period. They just made a bad call when creating the video for their excellent song which features paintings by an "artist" that paints pedophile pictures.

In response to your question, why don't you just go back and read all the threads and not just the last few posts.

Even a child can read through the threads and determine the subject and object of what is being discussed.

[araleztri]

I Monster didn't make a bad call when creating the video, because I Monster didn't make the video.

The user mourna made the video, and thought the song went well with the pictures and I agree.

Even a child can read the description of a clip and determine that the vid isn't an official one.

[tallblondenurse4u]

I never even though of pedophila watching this. I see goth. Haunting, sexy, goth.

[jiminax]

woot underbelly rocks and fuck the pakis

[Discharg3]

3:17-3:27 is my favorite. On another note, Mark sure does like cuts of meat and Abraham Lincoln.

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

lol yeah I noticed that the mini-Abe appears fairly often in these pictures. I wonder what it's supposed to represent.

[cheyamil]

this vid is so creepy the pics are awesome such imagination is outstanding

[xxmomoxxx]

this is such a good song to listen to when there's complete silence and nothing is going on around you....obsessed with it!

[yoyoyode]

UNDERBELLY!!

[ssbirina]

i forgot: buena vista social club,amon tobin,buddha bar,tori amos

[ssbirina]

pink martini, koop (!) and something very tripant wax taylor. it not necessarily sounds like this but is soooo go and calming, expecialy the alst 2

[FoxLtd]

this song was used in the Australian Underbelly series about the gangland war in Melbourne Australia. very fitting.

[SirQuaks]

these are disturbing images but good song

[LikeOhMahGoose]

I was expecting like a screaming face to pop up any minute o.o Awesome art work

[hsfan123]

I love this its amazingly creepy!

[caliginous332]

[SolidGamer2007]

[SolidGamer2007]

[SolidGamer2007]

Omg such a good song and the images are brilliant!

[Shocky69]

Very talanted and brilliant song writer. Amazing song. God Bless you.

E.Yurha

[holmescreek]

Mark Ryden produces painstakingly painted, pastel-colored canvases of less-than-innocent children in surroundings so compulsively packed with nutty detail as to try the eye severely. Bunnies, choice cuts of raw meat, the visage of Abraham Lincoln and sugary religious icons are among his continuing motifs. The music included with the slide show Ryden's work curiously boasts pedophilia. I hope this is a fanboy song and not endorsed by I Monster. Shock factor, no, a grotesque perversion --

[grosbedo]

Images are from Mark Ryden, music is from I Monster and the mix of the two producing this video is fanmade. I Monster are known to produce weird lyrics, so you shouldn't be shocked.

[Dethmeister]

I've listened to this a few times and I'm not hearing any pedophilia reference. Sounds like ghosts killing someone to me. Not wholesome but Ryden's art isn't either. Lyrics: Hide and seek is the game We'll teach you how to play Close your eyes, really tight Make it dark, like the night The party never ends, the game begins again Climb the stairs to the top Rooms are dark but don't stop Getting close, really warm Now you're cold on the floor The party never ends, the game begins again

[greedymuppet]

I don't hear this song as being pedophilic. I highly doubt that was their intention, plus the only thing that would turn one's thoughts that way is the fact that children sing the lyrics, however, there's an album version where it's sung more by a robotic voice with a woman for the chorus. I imagine that it's meant more to be creepy, eerie, haunting, maybe about death. Not sure, but not pedophilic because of the alternate version.

[shane9780]

pedo music

[nowimnothing26]

Thanks to this video i now love Mark Ryden's work!

[porkochik]

yeah i agree also!! it seems like they play this song when someone is about to be killed. its a great song. there's another song on underbelly that was played a few week ago called "don't fight it" by The Panics. thats also a really nice song.

[omen351]

definately the best song on underbelly

[Peaceout68]

this song is some Freaky S#@$!

[ozmelbteam]

The best song from the underbelly show and album. We love it. Underbelly is the best show ever.

[murrumbateman]

I can only agree. This song has been brilliantly placed in the Underbelly series. Great song, great series.

[fukthecorrupt]

1:49 is reminiscent of the In Utero cover in fact all of these drawings a re similar to what you'd get if you put a lewis carrol illustrator and cobains art in a blender, so to speak.

[fukthecorrupt]

lol at 00:59

[delta9999]

haha yeah

[delta9999]

haha yeah

[trisiti]

pedobear?

[10203040506070809]

lolwut prolly...

[manosforever1]

God, i need this album... Can anyone help me so i can download it??

[jigsaw213]

creepy but cool

[clarky223]

this is addictive lol its on Underbelly an Australian Drama about the Gangland war

[10203040506070809]

yeah was looking for this for ages

[47Cyanide47]

Same here, to fucking forever, yo cant get it anywhere.

[porkotube]

can you please tell me the name of the song?

[zapasiewicz]

the name of the clip O_O

that means... "These are our children" by IMonster.

[porkotube]

thank you so much. i just downloaded the entire cd. its amazing. and i'm a huge mark ryden fan too. nice mix :)

do you know more music like this?

i like air and portishead a lot.

[m00tube]

I'd try Mercury Rev and Royksopp for starters depending on which elements you like. Try BOC for the nostalgia. Trip Hop is a large genre with different forms, you should love Zero7. Also try Télépopmusik - Angel Milk. Any other reccomendations people have, please post, TY.

[porkotube]

thank you so much for all this info. I love zero7, and telepopmusik. angel milk its new for me. I love Air (moon safari) and portishead too.

[m00tube]

Finding artists similar to Air is nigh on impossible, Ive searched and asked many times and haven't found many similar artists or tracks. There's a thread somewhere on the Air forums about similar artists. Let's consider Air as a genre of their own (which has been said), then I'd count Junior Boys,Ralph Myerz,Plej,Floex,Zero7,Hooverp­honic,Royksopp,Blue States,Starseeds, Postal Service and Iron & Wine as about the closest I know of. Portishead are easier, it's more or less vocal trip hop.

[m00tube]

These are great albums you should like:

hooverphonic - blue wonder powder milk

emiliana torrini - love in the time of science

Badmarsh & Shri - signs

blue states - nothing changes under the sun

flunk - for sleepyheads only

[m00tube]

Some other very worthy artists, mainly vocal Trip Hop, conforming to your request and leaving out the usual suspects: Digitonal, Pomegranate, Crustation, Daughter Darling, Delerium, Jem, hungry lucy, Hint, Harmonic 33, Kid Loco, Lunascape, Mandalay, Stereolab, Max Melvin, Max Richter, Pelican City, Ulrich Schnauss (I love this guy), Puracane, Purple Penguin, Ratatat, Schiller, Secede, State River Widening, Styrofoam, Sun Electric, Sunday Munich, Ten and Tracer

[m00tube]

I stopped looking after T, vocal triphop's not really my bag anymore. Also omitted lots of artists and haven't scratched the surface really.

Sorry for the TMI

[47Cyanide47]

Where did you download it from?

[clarky223]

if u find out where to download it can you tell me please if searched everywhere

[m00tube]

Soulseek

[porkotube]

try in google:

"i monster+rapidshare"

and you will find links to the entire cd.

or if you can, just buy it.

[47Cyanide47]

Thanks heaps man.

I would buy to support them and all but I cant find it anywhere.

But cheers for the help man.

[jwpepper3573super]

creepy

awesome song :D

[gothguy100]

[tubheadtrevor]

[johnking33762]

I want to copulate with you. Anally.

[mourna]

[theanvilcracks]

AWESOME vid man.. Cool pics, works great with "This is Our Children"

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

[bugpowderdust]

i love thins song, the album is a 5/5

[artenzie]

Great video and music choice. Best thus far!

[sirenitaazul15]

You did a great job choosing my favorite pieces, you have wonderful taste!!!

[sirenitaazul15]

You did a GREAT job choosing my favorite pieces, you have wonderful taste!!!

[ProjectLoK]

lol omg i laughed at this one transition where its switching from like a clown walking with a kid to a the little girl anatomy picture it looks like she has penis for a second. XD the pictures im talking about are at 1:40. anyway greate video abd great song good job 5/5

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

it doesn't look like she has a penis -.-

[luisocampo123456]

yes it does look like she a long penis

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

I think you're looking too hard. How come you people seem so fascinated to see a penis on a prepubescent girl with an open torso?

[chaoticxxfailure]

This is really great! I love Mark Ryden, and the music fits very well :)

[drpissang]

creepy

[SpawnOfManson]

that was a really fantastic video.

love the song, and the art.
