My deduction: Frozen in time = expatiation, perhaps over two possible girlfriend prospects (yes, that is correct a lesbian love triangle) hence why the man is facing the wall signifying a lack of interest, the cards and the flash's of computer games signify that love is a game, that she doesnt Looooooooooooooose. The composition of the 3 girls signifies their connection... I could go into more depth but eh.

@redplague No, like chopperychop mentionned, it'a a TV Show with Anna Silk, Zoie Palmer, Kristen Holden-Ried, Ksenia Solo... It's Canadian and a very good TV show, in USA it plays on Syfy (or something like that).
This video is strikingly odd, yes. But you can't look at a video like this and try to compare it to everything else out there. The video was meant to be abstract, and I think the director pulled it off extremely well. It's what I like about Austra, to be honest. They're a quirky and odd band, which is what I think makes them shine. You can call the video shit or 'hipster', but at least it isn't the same old regurgitated crap we see in modern music videos these days. Refreshing is the right word.
was sent to Austra via a comment reply to a Grimes tune, cant thank them enough, cheers to KlingKlang13.. i love this and great to see there are the educated youtube viewers that spare the time to share they're finds with others, thats what its all about, not slating a video just for the point of it and to get voted up.
I think this video is alot more interesting then watching some mainstream garbage. Is it eccentric and random? Yes, but so what, I dig eccentic and random, this band grew on me real quick, if you cant dig the visuals then close your eyes and enjoy the melody.
I don't think the video is crappy at all. I think it's cool! It's such a cool, quirky, refreshing change from all of the skanky tits and legs pervading music videos these days.
@BrandonArkell112878 no make no mistake this is a crappy video. The one's you mentioned are also crap but this is is crappy in a different way but nevertheless ultimately crap. I love this song though so I don't really care
@BrandonArkell112878 no way dude, the guy who made this video had like 4 acids when he made this... its a fun video but it doesnt make any sense... lol
@BrandonArkell112878 It may be quirky, but there's quirky that's meaningful and quirky that's just trying to be... quirky. This video feels like an amateur art student somehow got the band to appear in his fan video. It's definitely not pandering to people who just want flash and sex appeal, and I also appreciate that... but it's still just kinda dumb.
@BrandonArkell112878 For sure it's different from those unoriginal music videos you describe... but not just because it's different from something bad it becomes good. In my opinion, the video lacks creativity and doesn't fit the song it was made for.
this song is great but sometimes,i feel so sad the word don´t seem for me the dark side of life,we should say i want save your life this are the good words on earth everytime we say i don´t want that things in my life it comes but why,it´s spirit and i think you are allways think about the same,when i listen to your songs..it´s only a feeling,good luck(Dan Millman,Paulo Coelho,Gregorij Grabovoi ....)
Lol this chick sounds exactly like Florence & The Machine. No surprise. Music industry: take something innovative and successful, figure out a formula, clone it. Rinse, lather, repeat.
Is Austra's drummer (the girl in glasses sitting on the sofa early in the video) Katie's GF, I wonder? Katie (out as lesbian) once said something in an interview that seemed to imply the two are (or were) a couple. Just curious!
My best friends sister was listening to these guys all the way to Avenged Sevenfold's concert in Washington. The ride was 12 hours, it was the best car ride of my life. I'm glad she has rad music <3. She has good taste in music. I should of went with them to Calgary, when this band was there :( I shoulda. But I was sooo broke at the time </3. Good music, good!
@siobhan654321 It isn't that terrible of a video, I didn't like it at first but I've watched it at least 10 times since watching it for the first time and now I just love it.
QUOTE:"This song is fuckin' horse shit!!!This panty waist hipster bullshit broke up my co-workers relationship with his psycho ass girl friend."
Huh?It sounds like you're,in part,blaming song or band for your friend losing his gf! That's like blaming The Beatles for Charles Manson's murders 'cause Manson's twisted interpretation of The Beatles' White Album was the Beatles were telling Charlie to kill!
@MrOhdarnit@toolaek she's Canadian Latvian and part Italian too if info I've read about her is correct (band itself is from Canada). It's a nice feeling knowing that girl with a Latvian blood in her veins can make such a powerful music!
the song is very nice but the director of the video should have kept 80% of his ideas to himself in order to make a cohesive work. this looks like too videoclips in only one

Hi, legitimate criticism has nothing to do
with like or not like, it is about the piece
of work and if it achieves a degree of merit.
This is very similar to a lot of the stuff out there.
Minimally conceived and poorly delivered.
Even bad pop art eg. Andy Warhol be considered
high art. But what is art? Lose it or a Campbell's
soup can. Simply it is in the eyes and the response
of the viewerl
