The Octopus Project - I Saw the Bright Shinies

[Keenanwbarbee]

I was iffy on future beats til this

[MCrushala]

This is kinda amazing

[bronteburger196]

There is only one word to describe this song... Amazing

[MrZachwallace]

This video makes me smile

[TheProletarius]

4 people are stupid here....../...

[TheProletarius]

a song before you sleep to make you have sweet dreams..,.

[GodInMyMachine]

kick ass! its like an even more electronic Chad Vangaalen. love it!

[tetilt]

@GodInMyMachine Chad uses the casio beat in this song in his song 'TMNT Mask'. Very similar sound

[hannahbeanjean]

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

Haden't listen to this one since I saw them play & as usual gives me the chills.

[JiggyWeh]

Diese Mukke übertrifft alles was war,was ist und was kommt,das ist einfach unglaublich :D

[ClintT13]

I was also at the show in Columbia. They totally blew me away. The drummer's energy was off the charts.

[banaanbanaanpeter]

the beat is riped from soviet - candy girl

[catycatycatycatyh]

they opened for explosions in the sky this past sunday and the instruments they played made them 20times more interesting. very clever! 

[CapnCribbs]

@catycatycatycatyh I was at that show! What was the song where they said there would be a "tiny party" in the middle?



[catycatycatycatyh]

@CapnCribbs thats awsome! im not sure what the song was called but i really like the Golden Beds album. check it out :)

[jaypens92]

@catycatycatycatyh i was there!!! awesome show!! any idea what the opening song was called?

[catycatycatycatyh]

@jaypens92 you were?! yesss the show was sooo amazing. i have no clue though! they have a bunch of different albums so its hard to find it. their soo catchy though! i diiigggg it :)

[bassisbeast1]

ah, it's so nice

[LoUsIf]

this song gives me goosebumps

[jumblejamsam992]

What is the font in the beginning?

[DVA5212]

I just experienced eargasm.

[skadanday]

this song can put any baby to sleep.

[shredstick153]

life, death. sound, lights. civilization, nature... though we may not see it, we are all connected... and this is the theme music for it all.

[robbravo1]

Can any intelligent synth experts give the filter being used at: 2:01-2:03, 2:13-2:15, 2:25-2:28, and 2:37-2:39? thanks in advance

[robbravo1]

@robbravo1 Actually if I could rephrase my questions I would like to know how to create the elephant like noise's being produced

[CaptainThrill]

@robbravo1

Do you have any experience at all with Synthesisers?

[TheGrumpyOldBear]

@robbravo1 Its a theremin

[robbravo1]

@TheGrumpyOldBear I know what a theremin does, The noise I'm talking about is coming from the synth and it sounds more like a pitch shifter. Any intelligent synth experts know for sure?

[gaugust549]

@robbravo1 I'm going to venture a guess and say it is a ring modulator. I could very well be wrong though.

[daroxasx]

Everything about this video is stunning!

[TheSara910]

I love this song! It sounds like the soundtrack to an alien prom

[erykafaye]

:)

[ThereminWorld]

The layered theremin on this song is just stunning. This is brilliance!

[FloatableCeres]

those ghosts are so cute :3

[ClaudiaPear]

great video!

[Ilovemybutterstick]

I got to see them live here in austin :)

They were incredible! Really talented and super nice. I got to talk to Yvonne (She plays the theremin) I loved it so much I wrote one of my college papers on it haha.

[Krintok]

Haunting... this is pure art.

[sil0star]

This is beautiful. It says 'enter the mystery while keeping yourself intact because you will only add to the value of what you found'.

[jjjerzak20]

@sil0star O_O

[15Think]

...makes me wish, for a moment, life was in 2-D.

[sirpillow69]

I think this song is creepy in a way.

[bbeard10]

@Derf804 I love the fact that you are still referring to this Possessed Nokia Midi Ringtone Garageband drum kit as music. The real fact here is that you fucking morons are trying to find something to make our generation interesting and awesome like the 70s which in reality, you'll look back in 10 years and think, not only was that asshole bbeard right, but I'm a fucking idiot without a job and terrible taste in music.

[jbrind00]

@bbeard10 I know I shouldn't feed the troll,bud dude there is more good music than Classic Rock. I find it ironic you are hating on this song but continue to return to it, albeit to try and "win" some useless internet argument. You'll look back in ten years and realize how pointless and stupid e-thuggery is. Smoke a joint, go listen to some Allman Brothers and chill.

[Harrisonfarms]

@jbrind00 Hell yeah Man put on some "Jessicca"

[MarsionLove]

When the ghosts found eachother again I wanted to cry :)

[jbrind00]

There is something so fluid about this song.

Angels fly to music like this.

[3mexico]

@jbrind00 fuck angels! this is the kind of music aliens fornicate to!

[Derf804]

@ bbeard one fuck your stubborn ways you must be @ least 50 or a conservative douche this is just a different kind of music one if you dont like why are you wasting time commenting/listening theres no reason to hate on it if u dont like it why would you even take the time to post on here.....and i like acdc the who led zep there all good bands you do not have an open mind.....and justin timberfag and miley whorus can fuck off they are shit

This song fucking rocks

[TrashLights]

god damn. it doesn't cant any better then this.

[default1drake]

I actually just made a video using this song :)

[Trexfilms22]

I love this band i could listen to them when im mad or sad and still end up in a mellow mood!

[larsreal9]

Here I thought I was the only person who thought the theremin was cool

[OfMaunTreeAll]

My mind is blown, I've never heard such great music, this is some of the greatest music I've ever listened to. It sounds heavenly, (maybe like a heavenly rabbit). This is soooo much better than Miley or Justin. I'm just sayin'

[bbeard10]

The fact that anybody can watch this video all the way through is mind blowing. Even more surprising: That people can say with a a straight face that this is actually music. This is some of the worst SHIT I have ever had the misfortune of listening to. This sounds like a rabbit's death scream as its intestines are gutted out of its ass. Whatever happened to real music. You people claim Miley Cyrus and Justin whatever don't make music. Get real. This is not music. Led Zeppelin, The Who, ACDC...

[aiiiipe]

@bbeard10

this is actually music, also you list the old classic bands, and im not saying they arent music as i know and appreciate their awesomeness but your just listing them as they are 'safe'

i like people who really put their personality on the line for music and its 'shit' like this that does that. music isnt a popularity contest. let people like what they want.

[gibson724]

@bbeard10 omg shut it. no one cares. music has evolved and so should you. Your stuck in a time machine.

[default1drake]

@bbeard10 lol shut up! Thats rock, this isnt. This is a diffrent, awesome genre. dont listen to it if you dont like it? Just stop complaining. I mean your not forced to listen to just this. go listen to ozzy's raspy voice if you want.

[maverickpoint]

@bbeard10 all music tells a story, this music is just much deeper in the meaning. it makes me happy, it makes me relaxed. listen to 'music is happiness' and dont just listen to it, close your eyes and dont think, just let your mind wander and see where it takes you. its actually very beautiful you just need to be in a different state of mind to enjoy it.

[phillidj17]

@bbeard10 grow up d squeeze, just because you dont like it doesnt mean other people feel the same way. Youre simply myopic

[gremlin1605]

love this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shadwrath]

I friend showed me this song. It is spooky in an uplifting way, it reminds me of certain levels in Paper Mario on the gamecube. Oooh nostalgia. :*)

Everytime I see that ghost flying I wanna tilt my head and go " :D "

That comment probably made no sense to most of you, ahaha. Sorry. XDDDDD

[shittyutubevideos]

o and also besides the point,

beyond awesome video.

if anyone hasnt seen octoproject

make sure u go c them it is beyond badass

my only wish is for a tour that has

octoproject blackmoth super rainbow and

who else...hmmm, how about yppah, caribou

and......tobacco! :)

hey how about adding them to the Dome at

coachella for this year!!! that'll be fantastic!

[shittyutubevideos]

wow awesome video.

however. it is quite disheartening and highly

disappointing to read the first comments for the video and 2c people talking shit. this isnt some geto ass rap video its fucking octoproject get that shit talking the fuck out of here. shitake mushrooms are great. shittalking isnt

[BlownMacTruck]

I don't think that word means what you think it does.

[rhapsodists1]

they have some really uplifting music

[Corpsefiend420]

damn, if only real life was exactly like this, everyone moving theyre heads side to side... dope

[dinodynamic74]

holy shit.. you call this pathetic crap music..? I could fall asleep. this sucks.

[BlownMacTruck]

I like how the video you have as your favorite on your profile is a mindless dance track with bad lyrics and no musical creativity, while the song you're ragging on is both creatively and technically more complex and just... better. You lose.

[yourmomiswayfine]

shut the fuck up fag, talking like u r some kinda music king or something

[BlownMacTruck]

Where to begin... the fact that you can't spell out 'you' or 'are' or use the word 'fag' pretty much labels you as internet bottom feeder troll, or that stating the obvious makes me a 'music king' (what exactly constitutes a music king ? Apparently in your mind anyone not agreeing with you - I suggest therapy as you're entering the realm of schizophrenia).

I'm glad you were beaten as a child, as you are one of the few humans who deserved it; suicide would do us all a favor. Go ahead.

[yourmomiswayfine]

You are pretty fucking lame. An elitest hipster I would imagine.

[BlownMacTruck]

If you want to appear intelligent try refuting what someone states with reasons and evidence instead of attacking the person; you only look ignorant and immature when you issue ad hominem arguments. Of course you'll probably not understand what this means and just call me more things in the vein of 'fag' or 'elitist', thereby reinforcing what I just said. Ah, the circle of ignorance... obvious to everyone outside of it, so hard for people inside to get out.

[zifn]

Well to be honest it all depends on how you define the circle of ignorance. Also while I agree with you that attacking a persons character or evoking any such logical fallacy is wrong and hurts the person giving the argument rather then the one being attacked by the argument; there is no good reason to act smug just because you know some terms that were taught in a basic philosophy or a logic and reasoning course that kind of information is not that special and words don't make one smart.

[BlownMacTruck]

I'm not acting smug; I just want coherency in communication.

[zifn]

I apologize for the run on sentence in my previous text. If it bothers you, please imagine that there is a period between "course" and "that" and that "that" is capitalized.

[Eoinmoo4]

SHUT THE FUCK UP

Your pissing us off ok.

Wow your good at fucking English but just because we were bullied for being a nerd doesn't mean you can take it out on others as result, just dont even reply to this you aragont scum.

[BlownMacTruck]

"Your" comment makes no sense. I believe you were the one bullied as a child, and more than likely someone like was snickering while it was happening.

[BoloBoxingVideos]

stfu. you are insanely annoying.

[BlownMacTruck]

You might want to try ignoring things you find annoying instead of encouraging them to reply to you. I suppose that requires a bit of intelligence though, so maybe that's not possible in your case.

[joewhittles]

why dont you go listen to a drug addled brummie under the false pretense that hair metal is at all relevant to anything alive today.

[haiimstrobez]

I'm just gonna drop another comment on this. I absolutely love this song. And the video makes it one hundred times better. Seriously.

One of those songs that puts you in that real good mood. Where you are just happy and satisfied with everything.

Oh yeahhh :)

[haiimstrobez]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow­. This is absolutely incredible.

[roydelataco]

i love the sk1 beat in this

[maisie115]

cool man... bet it sounded good with the crickets...

[omanafire]

I had to pause it and start it back up a couple of times but I got it to play in beat with the crickets outside. Very wonderful.

[pizzaROX2]

Awesome!

[gremlin1605]

love this video :) :) :)

[shmis]

theremin for life!

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

God bless this people for making wonderful music with value in todays world of garbage music. It feels good to still hear a fresh song here and there that that can be heard for years to come:)

[boogiebomb2knightrnr]

By the way, it gives me goosebumbs, very rare to say that now a days since my golden music days are long gone but never forgotten of course.

[GordonCSA]

I think this animation studio did some work for They Might Be Giants as well. Good looking stuff.
