This is pretty corny, but every since I saw this extremly good looking boy while I was pumpin gas at a marnia last summer i've always pictured myself playin the gutiar & him singing & then when its just the gutiar playing near the end of the song he looks at me LOL. I know pretty cheesy but it gets me everytime. I never saw him again. ....Maybe I will this summer!?! I won't be so starstruck.
Machines shouldn't be feared. ^^ Give 'em humanity is prob the best thing we can give to the world. They then in turn extend the standard of living of all others. We'll create them in our image, egotistical yes, but not without its good. My only worry is May the intent of their creation be virtuous. For the benefit of ALL mankind and botz.
@gnarlykicks aww fear not mak not all robots gana be homicidal blokes. Still I spose we all choose what to fear. Would like to ask what is initially bad with the idea mak. Perhaps I can improve on it.
This is one of my favorite songs now... not just because of the beautiful melancholy song, but of the message and the video itself! The person who made this, was quite a one of a kind! 1000/10 man, this is good.
maravilloso, qué caos en el que buscamos introducir nuestra mente, nuestra alma y nuestra vida entera al intentar reemplazarlo todo con cosas que definitivamente no hacen parte del mundo natural con el que deberiamos estar felices o por lo menos tranquilos
Machines will replace the human spirit. Its a sad truth of our lifestyle. People see money, and then they mass produce. Then even more factories pop up. Hey, I'm sorry, but you don't have a job anymore. This robot here can do it ten times better. You're left in the street because of greed. There will ALWAYS be human spirit, but it will continue to be smothered to the point where it doesn't show.
@L07EK The Machines already did replace human spirit. People already work like machine, they move, they live their lives in exactly same way everyday. There is plenty of people who live that way and its sad. Not even to mention whats gonna happen if the machines actually are going to replace humans, then what are they gonna do with their lives?
I really liked this song, but I was always wondering where I heard this song before. Then it hit me! It's similar-sounding to America's "A Horse with no name." I mean, the songs are completely different, but they feel similar.
seems to me to be a commentary on singularity, in this case one idea of the technological singularit's effect on music. I wouldn't be too worried about it.
@CH3ENE well think about it, torture makes more sense "it was a torture driving the savages back to the trees" or "it was a torch driving the savages back to the trees" but anyways, lyrics are always rather iffy with wolf parade...
@narlybabe HEY MAN AINT NOBUDEY GETTIN TORCHERD SO HOLD THE FONE ON THAT SHIT THE LIRICS IS ALL LIEK SENDIN THEM SAVAGES MEANIN THEM NATIVES AND ALL THOSE FOOLS ALL AFRAID OF A TORCH BEKUZ THEY DONT GOT FIRE AND THEY ARE A BUNCH OF MOGGA HEAD NUT WAFFLES SO SHUIT THE FUCK UP U DONT KNOW BEANS FROM BISKITS THE LIRICS DONT SAY NOTHIN ABOUT TORCHER
@MrMrdswoods I said "it was a torture driving the savages back to the trees". I didn't say "people were torturing people" you idiot. If you had learned to read, you would know that "it was a torture" is refering to how the writer felt in that situation, NOT to physical and intentional pain. Now, if you want to express some opinion of yours try using actual sentences and also learn to fucking spell. You came across as a blathering caveman.
@narlybabe OK OK WE BOTH MAID SOME MISTAKES AND MABEY I FLEW OFF THE HANDEL A LITTLE BIT BUT I DIDNET MEEN TO DISRESPECT YOU AND I WASENT TRYNA DISRESPECT THIS VIDIO I LIEK THE VIDIO AND I LIEK THE SONG SO RECOGNIZE THAT AND I TAKE BACK CALLIN YOU A WAFFLE FACTORY YOU AINT THAT DUMB BUT RECOGNIZE THAT I AM A KILLAWHALE PATROLIN UNDERNEATH DA WAVES AND I REFUSE TO BE CONTROLED BY ANYBODEY
