[TheProgFather7]

This is the most disproportionate music video in history... the music is ridiculously awesome and the video is ridiculously terrible.

[moatartareque]

My must the video hinder upon this terrific song.

[MrNorthground]

this is probably the greatest music video i have ever seen

[SawyourMeat]

I think the main problem with this video is the audio quality. the OG quality wasn't top-notch but this is just terrible. Also it looks like a bad 311 music video.

[yeatsg]

Who else would make ferocious love to Maria-Stella? And make her sing whilst this love-making proceeds?

[R2D2ONE22]

I LOVE this song, although the video is low budget- but the music is too good for words. I don't need acid to enjoy this but it would be awesome to listen to while tripping lol.

[DjentleGiant]

I havent taken enough acid yet.

[Didi972]

That vid is clearly about astral projection

[YoSaraLu]

@Didi972 how so?

[kitchen867]

this video rules

[TheAughacker]

this video reminds me of The Hunger...not because of the music but because of the cheesy effects.

[kitofsnitz]

as shitty as the effects are, i would have it no other way..

[messypoo1349]

let's see... thought-provoking, weird, pretentious... yep, that's maudlin of the well.

[DynastyTunes]

Uncovering the gift by maudlin of the Well on my channel

[SeldomFathom]

Wow Im surprised they have a music video

[belhelmel]

dudes if i remember correctly this video was made by a friend of the band's for his college video class/motw's participation was a favor to him!

[GIMPmanipulated]

...Poor Toby. I wonder what he was thinking.

[DevilVlad93]

maudlin of the Well is my favorite band, but seriously, they ought to just make albums, without vids....

[Hogweed11]

Wow. motW is one of my favorite bands, but this video sucks balls!

[progdeatherfer]

motW is my favourite band ever, but this video it's... weird.

[BadButNotSad]

I think that's the worst music video of all time xD

But the message can be understood and the music itself is great, too :)

[squizz222]

I bet Toby looks back on this shit and laughs in shame.

[Gonko100]

@FA9082 THANK YOU

[Gonko100]

OMG....this...this is, I...it takes my breathe. what the hell? I got bath and last one on record, had no picture of this band at all, but THIS?! SERIOUSLY?! Unforgiveable. ASSHOLES! WE ARE WORKING OUR ASSES DOWN HERE! thank god for godspeed and mog, this just ruined everything about this band for me. Maybe I sound a little harsh, but this sucks ass. mentally desabled bull or the best parody I've ever witnessed.

[ANOMTOfficial]

I was impressed by some of it, but they shouldn't have included the live footage. It looks like it was done on a cheap cell phone camera!

[cyanofix]

hahaha this video is so fucking awesome.

[chrisleinhart]

UNFORGIVABLE

[HellHammerX]

They blew the advance money for the video on shrooms and absinthe. Their manager stopped them when they only had 1K left. The bassist's kid brother made it for them for 300 bucks, leaving them with 700 to purchase more shrooms and absinthe

[ffhk1]

@HellHammerX Money well spent

[uberdeathmetal]

effects are so bad they make me horny

[tomnevati]

Where the hell do you buy their music??

[Fragile0Still]

@tomnevati The ONLY place Ieven so much as attempted was directly through their website 9actually, it was kayo Dot's website. Good luck even attempting to find "Bath" or "Leaving your Body Map" ...

[tomnevati]

@Fragile0Still Hey, man. Thanks for replying. Actually, I wrote that comment about 6 months ago. And meanwhile I completed their discography. I found My Fruit Psychobells, Bath, Leaving Your Body Map, and Part the Second (vinyl). I bought Bath and Leaving Your Body map on eBay, Psychobells on Amazon, and PtS on Storenvy. My wallet isn't happy but I am :D

[Fragile0Still]

@tomnevati lol, yeah, I just ordered My Fruit Psychobells ... I'm looking EVERYWHERE for Bath, but I cannot find it ... luckily the Part the Second download is free. But I'm also having troubling finding Kayo Dot's Dowsing Anemone. Either way, I'm glad you found the albums man. Good news on the vinyl too.

[ThatLovelyEnglishBob]

Toby is starting to remind me of Naboo from the Mighty Boosh.

[corruptedxsilence]

i think the end of this video is great

[liviugahora]

The video is ridiculously bad, but hey, who the hell cares? At least it's entertaining. It actually has a certain charm to it :)

[FailPod]

How could such an intelligent band make such a terrible video?

@Kawabic I have done both of those things multiple times, this video is still painful.

[Kawabic]

The video isn't that bad, these guys aren't a high budget band. Imagine trying to make this , but a couple years back.

also it will make more sense if you have had a lucid dream or used hallucinogens before.

[PosieDada]

Wow, that's the real video?

Did they use Windows Movie Maker? haha

[BleuBonneHomme]

It's maudlin of the Well. There shouldn't even be a music video. That screen should be black. The soundscape and layers should paint all the images you need in your mind, Brothers.

[insatyr08]

@BleuBonneHomme YOU ARE SO RIGHT

[Tennisers]

great song shitty video

[Tengent]

I want some live friggen footage of this band. :D

[AcceptMe]

What the hell is with the fucking video? The music is tremendous but the video is horrifying...

[Matthew1242]

imagine making a friend like toby in college

[has9]

the only video by the unbelievable band and unfortunately one of the worst video i have ever seen! i am not exaggerating one bit

[Fragile0Still]

So much beauty ... the only time I heard something this artistic and abstract but beautiful was either John Coltrane's Ascension or Fantomas do er ... anything.

[SummerLandMan]

3:43

Maudlin of the Well's so beautiful...

Clearly even in slow motion!

[rhoonin]

the quality sucks, the video sucks and they do look like a bunch of nerds, but somehow I still love it

[TheShadowNebula]

this music video is werthless

[dyingforacup12]

5:30

Fap Fap Fap Fap

[Questpeace]

I mean, if girls in t-shirts are your thing...

[Jonsin92]

Cut the guy some slack, tshirt nipple is pretty hot

[jmedran]

lol these special effects are terrible

[azooma]

even for '99

[Matthew1242]

where did you find the new album, ive been looking for it!

[Questpeace]

Holy fuck, woah. That album's fucking amazing.

[Kanon2608]

WOW. Horrible quality, but a really, really, really great song.

[SuperMelon1]

I managed to keep a straight face for most of the video but I liked the part when he drew stars on the sky, that was neat.

[vetec4]

Both Kayodot and Mudlin of the Well ROCKS!!!!!!!! Yes Toby Driver and Mia know what's up there both two differnt bands its what you are in the mood for they are one hell of a smart smart band and Toby Driver and Mia know Me well.

[dominatelife]

I know maudlin was all about psychedelics and shit, but this video is just horrible.

the song is awesome however

[simonize251]

@dominatelife OH MY GOD this sucks. What the hell is that acoustic playing out of key doing in there by the way. Oh wait thats this bands thing; playing out of key and sounding like shit. How do any of you guys listen to this??

[tylerXgadlib]

I actually think this video is pretty cool... filthy quality though

[n00ne]

Wow....talk about self-indulgent.

[noneofyoucanspell]

hahaha. toby looks so silly. this band ruled. i prefer the doom laden noise project kayo dot though.

[8xMIKEGRAVEL4LIFEx8]

lol deadseagenesis.. you really dont know what your talking about when it comes to progressive metal. LOl.

[dyingforacup12]

dissing kayo dot?, what's crap about them... their another aproach by the same genius, have you ever listenned to them for longer than two seconds?

[sxs2289]

KD is bad. Get over it.

[DeadSeaGenesis]

My thoughts exactly. Kayo Dot suck. Next...

[BeholdTheMagicEgg]

Explain how Kayo Dot sucks. I think they're better than Maudlin of the Well, and their music isn't "doom-laiden noise" at all. Were you even listening to them when you played it? Did you even get past 5 seconds? I doubt it.

[myhigherpie2]

Kayo Dot most certainly do not suck.

[DeadSeaGenesis]

This band RULED! There is nothing like them. Too bad they disbanded and morphed in Driver's crap band Kayo Dot. There still isn't anything that comes close to BATH & LEAVING YOUR BODY MAP. They were the progressive band of the new century until Driver decided to move into his doom laden noise project Kayo Dot which is pure shit.

[GhostofSanity]

So fucking cheesy, but I love it.

[FA9082]

This is the worst fucking thing I have ever seen.

[StillLifeStillDeath]

MOTW is awesome but this video is dumb as hell.

[oibara2]

hhahaha

[TwentyFive2Life]

motW ftw!

[mayhemvenom]

...cause everyone who enjoys weird/trippy passages are acid heads right?

also this wasn't made by motW, a friend at their college made it for a project, this was never an official motW music vid, from my understanding

[almightyseancore]

the cheesiest moments were with toby infront of the blue screen.

that is what made most of it so silly to me.

still a good effort for what it was, and a great choice in song.

[BassVirtual]

if anyone here's actually taken acid, it's not really like this... no, no, it's about five million times more fucked up. otherwise, you should all check out the remaster of "my fruit psychobells"!

[almightyseancore]

i love this band, but i could not take this video seriously.

this is what happens when you give a bunch of acid heads $100 and say "make a video".

[JSzwedo]

worst video ever

but band is very good

[tranquil87]

best band ever

[Mood1ndigo]

5:32 - you can see Marie nipping! maudlin of the Swell (read: erection)

[dyingforacup12]

dirty mind.

[sicknessuntoseth]

kayo dot and maudlin of the well are both awesome, although i think i enjoy listening to the former more than the latter.

[Matthew1242]

if anyone knows particularly well the signifance of most of motw's lyrics, could you please contact me? I love the music and the lyrics seem enchanting but i dont often get the message of each song, and this upsets me because it is the most insightful music i have ever encountered. If anyone would care to discuss this band with me, just let me know :D

[MattMorose]

Dude, I could talk about motW for hours on end.

[Matthew1242]

awesome :D

[Matthew1242]

Can you explain the reference to Carina's Door. I dont know the reference.

[Maxftlol]

i discovered this band years ago, and honoustly i wish kayo dot whas never borne and maudlin had lived ... maudlin of the well-catharsis of sea sleep (i mean god that song rules) maudlin of the well-undine and underwater flowers also very great, everyone check thios shit out

[UnitedAbominations69]

baddddddd

assssssss

[Sangheilios]

80s special effects FTW!

[mayhemvenom]

I wish they did one for birth pains of astral projection or stones of october sobbing =]

ps. I have catharsis of sea sleep and sleep is a curse partially tabbed, for you guitarists!

[AdmiralAmara]

That's awesome, and I would love to get my hands on whatever you have tabbed. Fantastic band, and I'd love to learn some of their stuff.

[T3TxDeath]

Sweet! Would you have / know where to get a tab or even just a partial tab of 'The Manifold Curiosity' by Kayo Dot? That'd be insane.

[DerekMcA]

could i get a copy please?

[Eptaceros]

this video was just made by a friend for a college class.

[julianhogendobler]

This video reminds me too much of local access broadcasts for some reason... It honestly doesn't do the song enough justice.

[getdownsyndrome]

Doesn`t anyone have a higher quality version of this?

[CynicalGuitarist]

I wish they woulda made a vid for Gleam in Ranks... that woulda been 1337 to the max.

[lordofoj]

Nah. They should've made one for Blight Of River Systems. That would be heaps good.

[julespank]

More like: both! Plus Geography and Heaven and Weak.

[lordofoj]

Geography is a strange song. Sleep is a curse is bettar.

[burzumite]

Marie Stella is so cute.

[sefalik]

haha this video is so bad. great band though.

[skysails]

maudlin of the Lulz.

[greencarnation123]

too good great band great music...i like bass...one of the greatest bands ever...:p

[shotgunjoe]

lol que

[electrichealinghands]

upload it in a higher quality please

[steveosk8s]

just FYI, dark symphonies is releasing a remastered version of the album this song is on, on september 4th, and it will have 2 bonus tracks. however, there will only be 1000 copies, and if you dont pre order, you dont get one.

[burzumite]

I didn't preorder, and I have mine. Should have with Bath and LYBM though.

[eternel989]

matthew, its a key and key hole.

[Matthew1242]

ok thanks. With my eyes it was a blurry yellow ball and no more

[JerichBlakk]

this band got me threw some ruff times........

[arielgreen]

its times like this i wish youtube wasnt always so pixelated and distoreted to shit. thanks for uploading this.

[sporkwizz]

Maudlin of the Well ruled, it's better than the Kayo Dot stuff. Cheesy video that doesn't really match their music but it's for one of my favorite songs so I dig.

[TruNikkaz]

ummm, yeah, i love opeth too, but too different to compare... and plus maudlin are godly, bitch-asses!

[MiasmaRising]

maudlin of the Well is insane, but this video sucks. They need to make good high quality videos from LYBM, but its too late now. Thanks a lot Kayo Dot.

[maiglockchen]

toby driver is too fackin epic

[Ezrael15]

Fucking trippy.

[DecemberGirl]

put another video up!!!

like sleep is a curse

[Evanmontegarde]

Toby is the dude flying through space and drawing stars and stuff, Josh Seipp is playing guitar in front of a wall of flames, that's all I know. Greg Massi told me the name of the acoustic guitar crying guy but I forgot :(

[Matthew1242]

could you help explain to me what he draws at the very end. i didnt catch the symbolism

[138beatsperminute]

is that toby?

maudlin is really avant gaurd metal. awsome.

[jesusgoddamchrist]

i always thought maudlin was from chek i dont know why

[theresidentalien]

Holy shit that was great!! Thank you for this!!!

Maudlin of the Well were one of the greatest bands ever. Kayo Dot's great but they will never be as good as Maudlin was at their peak.

Where did you get this video? Are there more videos from MotW?

[zackmoya507]

dang this sux

[SublimeFury]

how on earth could you even say that?

faggot

[Heathenhellion]

Wow. This is not what I think about when I hear Maudlin of the Well.

[jesusgoddamchrist]

i love maudlin

[arkaic]

Greatest band in the past 10 years.

[cockbeer]

word

[msa1985]

They are good yes. Opeth rocks their anuses.

[Brutalslayer]

Opeth has nothing to do with maudlin of the Well. They are both progressive metal but it`s stupid to say like that.

[msa1985]

No it isnt. THey are both bands and I prefer opeth.

Now listen to this: Chocolate is better than communism.

[Matthew1242]

i checked out a song by Opeth so i could try to compare with you guys. Opeth has a death touch to it, Maudlin is avant metal and its a completely dfferent pace, tone, and style

[arkaic]

Opeth sucks nowadays anyway.

[fatmanosman]

Indeed they do! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they've gone poop!

[Brandon75689]

for real.

[dyingforacup12]

they've gone less origionall, i don't hink they're that bad, but i do like my arms your hearse, still life and orchid over the new material
