Moby - Shot in the Back of the Head

[fluxbunny1]

the guy in the suit is clearly David. he drew him exactly like himself in Twin Peaks

[PowerOfWilliam]

One of those videos where you just say to yourself. "Lynch."

[smarisol76]

this song/video are boooomb.

[GUNSFOREVER1]

0:37 ... the guy is masturbating

[JHigHthe1andonly]

Very Tight!! Lynch never disappoints!

[melodiouscanopies]

 powerful

[MrUrielsoto18]

IF i ever get shot in the back of my head i really hope and i can listen to this song right before it happens

[sinnersalwyslookgood]

My problem with this video isn't so much the concepts and the abstraction, it's more the execution, I feel it would have been stronger with a better animation. I love Lynch so much, but his short films are stronger than this.

[evaohone]

With a lot of "Lynchian" works, whether it makes sense or not is hardly the point, in fact, you get more from it approaching without that predetermination.

[nerdauthentic]

i love how the 2 most liked comments contradict each other.

[TOPGUNyoni]

@nerdauthentic HAHAHA yes! GOOD CATCH!

[aBeautifulmInd25]

it means so much if you let your mind interpret it.

[ElOnlyMan]

This music video left me speechless. WOW!!

[MrGorecki]

MOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYY

[nora0vences]

love this song....the video depicts the ugly truth about human kind and how disgusting it is..also how the world is wrapped and surrounded by it.....very good song though you guys did an awsome job

[REANIMATION980]

EMI doesn't own this, why does it say "contains content from EMI"?

[totallyairplanecrazy]

I do believe i just had a musicgasm after listening to this song

[UberFlippy]

@totallyairplanecrazy This song has excellent instrumentals

[j19527]

I see and feel the city.

[JustinSage]

It is a story out of the vast consciousness we have ignored. Pain, fear, everything we want to pretend doesn't exist.

[CaltTUBE]

this song makes me angry

idk why

i love all of other moby's songs

[RootedFilmaker]

this video is a creative experssion. iT HAS NO PLOT AND IS PERFECTLY FIND IN THAT WAY. IT IS JUST A CREATIVE EXPERSION

[killacamsm3lls]

amazing...life changing

[ptc5010]

Like the song, and though I love David Lynch, this really wasn't TOO out there for him.

[Face949]

i get it

[hornmiller]

this song is extremely annoying....

[mk6758]

The beginning toon is soooo cool, love it when i'm driving to school or work!

[ludwigvan17]

Great video. The song's a little annoying.

[NotYourFriendComics]

Melancholy, but awesome! I love David Lynch to death!!!!

: )

[JustinSage]

Anyone think they can do better, prove it. Do it.

[PhatBeatsYo]

Why are there always disembodied, floating arms and heads in all of Lynch's movies?

[help4343]

@PhatBeatsYo

What are you talking about?

[PhatBeatsYo]

@help4343 There's always floating heads and arms in David Lynch's films...

[help4343]

@PhatBeatsYo

I don't remember any. None in Mulholland Drive, Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet, Straight Story, Lost Highway, Elephant Man etc

[sarkerm2]

this is art, you give meaning to it.

[7hink]

@sarkerm2 Agreed. Just as the artist does.

[LostKoetzsch]

even funnier to tell people that theyre supposed to not be supposed to "get it"////

[LostKoetzsch]

thats what u think it is

[ThatsThaDude]

The video doesn't mean anything. Or rather, you're not supposed to get it. If you were supposed to get it, then how would all the people claiming to understand it make themselves feel intelligent and sophisticated?

Just enjoy for what it is - an awesome song and a trippy video.

[moralsco]

and yet you make the claim that this video doesn't mean anything or were not suppose to get it? how do you know this? well, all i know is that i know nothing.

[whoisdarthwho]

@moralsco that's the spirit m8 :D

[999alex9991]

I have the album, it's the best, love this song to (for the title), so cool

[superstar436]

love this song

[MaybeSeddie]

I don't understand the video.. and I really want too. Someone help me, please!!!

[wpgguy27]

The video was directed by David Lynch - what do you expect.

[wimpyturtle47]

Better than all of the cartoony ones, anyhow.

[ch3rryxx]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh gorgeous sounds

[aka321]

I rather like the art direction.

[IOWEJOEONEBAROFSOAP]

What are you saying? How is this soulless? How is it half ass'd?

[lanser87]

Yeah it looks a bit half ass'd on lynch's part but the song is good.

[youarenowreadingthis]

David Lynch is great. You're a fool.

[davidl5086]

1:18 is were this gets real

[Chamindo7]

Genius

[TheFavFilms]

Cool music. David Lynch is the best. I love the black.

[jltardiff]

One thing about both Lynch and Moby, about everyone has an opinion on them-good or bad! To me that is a sign of some serious artistic ability. BTW, I love em both, but some of their stuff is beyond me.

[tholden84]

this is pretty cool.....

[NicktheBarber31]

absolutely goddamn breathtakingly beautiful song

[dragonfist25]

@NicktheBarber31

Why say G-d damn like that homie? Why not say Buddha damn instead...?

[EyeJustSkateboard]

Because the image of Buddha would never damn anything, unlike the image of god.

[dragonfist25]

And by "image" of Buddha you mean idol?

[EyeJustSkateboard]

No, I meant image. As in IDEAL image, not idol.

[dragonfist25]

Fair enough.. and thanks for not cussing me out like the other jerks on youtube. :-)

[EyeJustSkateboard]

Haha, no problem chief.

[narutoandhisBrother]

lol

[Tiezu]

I love it for the David Lynch inspired video. Thank you david lynch for directing

[shockraid1]

Protip: if your headphones are broken and you can only hear one of the stereo tracks, this song is downright disturbing.

[PurpleDust1]

i have a rly funny story. me and my friend Renelle were in the video store looking at CD's and saw the front cover of Moby. we have never ever heard of the band and we liked the cover bc of the alian so we bought it out of random not knowing anything about it. on the way back to my house we went over trying to figure out what kind of music might be on the cd. and we heard this. and we are totally hooked

[abs296]

What movie will this show up in first?

[dragonfist25]

Haha yeah.. it wont take long.

[NicktheBarber31]

definately want to use it in one i'm going to make soon

[Blueisalightbulb]

What instrument is that at 1:10? Anyway tell me, thanks

[Yip1991]

I'm 90% sure it's a guitar

[IbanezRokr]

@Blueisalightbulb it's a guitar.

[tccompaq]

I have seen moby many times mostly in Europe Best was Koln ,Germany

There is such a good vibe at moby shows here Hopefully he will be back in Germany

soon.

[Joernsen89]

moby is awesome yes.

Nice

[Ninaaaaax]

loooooove

[MsMegaman23]

OMG !!!! Moby Is AWeSoMe !!!!!!!!!

[ronrendon]

OMG!!!!!!!

[Galgamemnon]

My friend had the balls to say this was nothing but a bunch of kid scribbling...

Its a masterpiece of artwork.

[KrakenZero]

1:07 I was like woah!

[MouseyTongue]

Song title didn't tip you off?

[re40o0]

fucked up video. u sure its not by david firth? (lol)

anyway amazing song

[carniemel]

awesome video! beautiful music set to anything david lynch is outstanding! thank you gentlemen for enriching our lives!!

[Siren2277]

Oh my, that was unsettling. Also, poor character development. Not a fan.

[vangelicmonk]

hahaha...just one last though. Do you remember the Worker and Parasite Russian cartoon video Krusty had to play because they weren't making Itchy & Scratchy cartoons???? This reminds me of that video except the W&P video was much better. LOL. Look it up on youtube if you don't know what I'm talking about.

[vangelicmonk]

I'm sorry. David Lynch suxs. This video is awful. The music is awesome. This CD is amazing. Even if Lynch inspired Mobey, his video for it is awful. IMHO. It's not gospel it's just an opinion. Don't bite my head off.

[vjfronk]

this is a perfect exsample of a verry good art instaltion. its like a painting that talks to you.its dark and conveys the mood of the subject. 5 stars *****

[hotcarl84]

I didn't know David Lynch directed music videos. I loved Twin Peaks too

[sammytag1]

so sad and beautiful

[408joel]

The head and man are almost identical to a drawing from National Lampoon's year book parody - the poem from Larry Kroger to T.A.C. Repetitive mumbo jumbo - I thought Lynch might be a little more inventive than this. I expect dull music from Moby...

[CapChronic]

Who watch's national lampoon movies......?

[guitarguy950]

13 year old boys that want to see boobs

[PBJking]

maybe that was intentional

[Kravfighta]

I like it when artists do more in a video then just film themselves playing their instruments!

[crawlthroughknivess]

this song is so depressing, but in such a peaceful way..

i love it

[spacethoven]

I watch this video every week now.

[enjoyordiez]

First time I've seen it... it wasn't that good... but now... I just listen to the song... and I can feel it...

[zameret32]

I agree with the previous comment, but I see a better clip for this soundtrek

[TheBoweeven]

Well, that's not something you see every day. Keep on truckin' Mr. Lynch.

[rockdeadrockstars]

Im a straight guy but ive always had a man crush on moby (:

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

lol...don't listen to "The Ultimate Fuck Song" then :)

but yeah Moby's cool.

[FackinKrazi]

that kinda makes you gay dude sorry

[rockdeadrockstars]

good ill bum fuck you LONG TIME

[stupidmads123]

Hahahahahaha! That was nice :D

[Pissant950]

I don't understand this music video to well but i like the tune

[TheBrAdIllAc88]

why dont you take a long walk off a short dock

[TheFlipskateboarding]

Moby sucks. Why would Lynch work with this hack?

[AquAcid]

spark a spliff and all is good

[plzletmego87]

great vid, i finally understand ir!

[viziblskarz]

moby does it again.

great vid. great tune.

[aboynamedmass]

i love this video

[Legman124]

I'm not a huge fan of the video, but I think that the song is fantastic

[valuedan]

hi everyone i'm dave, this is my 1st vid so if yoou don't like it then FUCK OFF! plaese rate and subscribe!

[MrWizardofrhythm]

the music video for pale horses is much better. Sorry Mr. Lynch, but this just doesn't do it for me.

[reviewitorhateit]

what are you talkin bout man, the videos for both suck its the music that matters

[thelittlegiantman1]

reveiw...mr.lynch made this. it may not look to fine and a little silly but he never used an all electronic medium before, and its the content that counts.

[MrWizardofrhythm]

at what point did I say that the music videos were more important than the music? Of course I know that the music is more important, and I also enjoy both songs. I was just saying that the one music video looked better than the other.

[woodyboze]

not this year it doesnt amazing weather

[dopeskies]

Dope real laid back track love smoking a Joint to it when its cloudy and raining considering i live in Vancouver B.C Canada which is like Seattle rains everyday....

[Zac6230]

amen you seeing him in october at commodore?

[dopeskies]

No Doubt if u blaze we can spark one bro

[Zac6230]

haha no more J's for me, but he will be good I hope

[d3p3ch3mod3]

holy shit just found out about this.. freakin awesome... 2 of my favorite artistic geniuses did a youtubeesque project and i dndt even know about it :D

[nolenquinn]

Moby is getting really Portland with his style. Video/Music combination = perfect: what I've come to expect of David L.

[martart1]

How much better can it get. Chilling

[pumpkinjakk]

I love the song, but the video is garbage. ]: I'm talking to the director when I say this of course, but just because a video is made in MS Paint and looks like it was done by a 2 year old doesn't make it creative... Just sayin.

[unhappytobehere]

I actually agree... David Lynch is one of the most overrated, crazy-haired, so-called "artists" out there. Mulholland Drive was garbage. Just because it looks like it's an acid trip doesn't mean it's inherently good.

[joekuta]

i dont get it ...............its ok

kinda overhyped tho . . . i thought more of david lynch b4 this

[MrMexifro]

Richard Hall is a master of sound...

[Number1CountBleckFan]

Listening to this song, I feel almost complete, yet so empty. This is amazing.

First song I've listened to by Moby, and I already like them. I'm going to go out and buy the album, NOW!

[amosbass]

Moby is actually one dude! He is quite a bad ass. Check out a tune called "everloving" it is amazing! Best-A

[lovehatehero4]

It reminds me of how heartless people can be sometimes. It makes me think of our lived on repeat.

And like with a twist of a drug addict.

Like you know, seeing life on fastforward.

I could just imagie that.

and then the good part 1:18- so on

I could see that as souls like little fire flys soaring into the sky.

[thisisnotokay]

sounds like radiohead, no thanks

[CitizenKANE2277]

David Lynch and Moby? Hell yeah!

[sermatt111]

Great morning music!

[watcherfilmsinc]

Two of my favourite artists working together...and what a fantastic collaboration it was. Beautiful.

[blackmetallicgirl]

absoutely amazing! as always! and Davild Lynch- directed this- excellent~finally have tickets to see him...

[sdb077]

fabulous

[SilentHillAsylum83]

Akira Yamaoka?

Hell yeah!

Amazing work, and I agree that America seems to be a little lacking in the art department but I think we might be catching up now that people are becoming more open minded.

Thumbs up for this video and for Moby and Mr.Lynch!

(who also sells really excellent coffee by the way!)

[XenBuddhist]

It's a music video for television. There shouldn't be any copyright restrictions. I love Deutschland, Italien, und Japan. That sucks they're doing that. I always wanted to move to central Europe from America because it seems more free and full of great art, ideas, and philosophy. I am so glad I see more people who love music like Moby and Akira Yamaoka more and more on the internet.

[yertseys]

Two of the most amazing artists of my time.

[Trollbaiter]

Reminds me of Breathe Me by Sia for some reason.

[The1Rausch]

get Firefox with NOSCRIPT and bann Google-Analytics ! WE CAN CHANGE ! Just block the Scripts... its the 1st IMPORTANT STEP !!! We have to fight for our rights here. NOW !

[trevorm1]

definitely a david lynch

[darthivory]

Beautiful.

[The1Rausch]

idiot ? you dont know nothing, obv...

IF WE DONT PROTEST NOW

In a few years we won`t have any OPTIONS ...

and no other VIDEOS.

The Detection-Tools by Google for Vids are beta-Versions, but what is going to be if they are working perfect ?

You are the Idiot.

PROTEST ! USE YOUR POWER !

FREE THE NET.

[DJFG85]

I refuse to use google or it's products (well except youtube)

[kamronson]

yes, new stuff from moby! ITS WICKED! LOVE IT! the video is pretty tripppy too, i get high and watch it on repeat sometimes..

[muahahaha101]

I love this song! Even though I don't like Moby so much I can't stop listening to this

[The1Rausch]

i cant watch this FANTASTIC PIECE of ART any more due to COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS !!!

country : Germany.

THIS IS AWFULL, i gotta puke.

Disgusting !!!!

You Google-Slavers , money bit.ches are worse than *&/)/&

I hate you for this... all the stuff i love... unbelievable disgusting

[n11lc]

go watch it on another vid you idiot

[MarcioBlauz]

in my country youtube removed this video for copyright restrictions.

country: ITALY

shit shit shit shit shit

[fimeeee]

mobys done it again!

[MrStormy94]

This sounds like the music they would play in like 28 weeks later when it shows Britain empty of life or somethin :P

[thismystery]

I didn't like the video very much at first, but now I can't stop thinking about it. David Lynch's images are more striking than I first thought.

[jesustoastfiend]

This is a moving piece of music, with or withot the video

it almost brings me to tears

[windup77]

and i think music is meant to be enjoyed if its not in somebodies musical taste so what? but if its touched someone in a certain way and they enjoyed it, then its done its job, no need to be perfect in what a certain persons idea of correct music is.

[windup77]

thepanzi5 I LOVE AKIRA! especially is work on the Silent Hill franchise! beautiful and i know exactly what you mean!

[flusck]

this is a brilliant piece of music

[JoeCubicle]

I didn't care for the vid so I just listened to the music. It really took me to a different place. I was just really getting into it when it ended. This is a nice piece of work!

[Russel1110]

You sound like u are offended...I just don't like how it sounds in the beginning in this case....I didn't say it's bad or anything....some people like something while others don't

[thepanzi5]

both shot in the back of the head and pale horses remind me of akira yamaoka

[Makallaka]

This vid feels very 80's MTV to me...

[toctuning]

This vid brings me back to late nights in front of the TV after my 'rent's went to bed, I woud be watching MTV. Yeah it was back in the 80's. Damn I feel old.

[rockdeadrockstars]

but its a new song what?

[toctuning]

New shit that feels like childhood dude. It brings me waaay back.

[Russel1110]

I don't like the beginning,when it stops for a little,and the drums aren't in harmony with that stopping...but later I like the song

[skater15153]

let me guess you only like music in 4/4 time too?

[Russel1110]

what do u mean?
