I Hear the Rain - Violent Femmes

[97AlanD]

How long ago was this video recorded?

[97AlanD]

This is a pretty cool video. I like all those effects.

[97AlanD]

@Madeeramone Probably Super 8. I think the effects were added later...

[madeeramone]

what kind of camera was used to make this?

[thefishclub]

@madeeramone Hey, thanks for watching! This video is comprised of a bunch of different formats, the main part was shot with an old Panasonic tube video camera that gives it that low-fi look, which was then further degraded by filming the edited performance off a tv with a DVX100 camera. Dome of the quick-cut clips were shot on 16mm, some on super-8, and some with the DVX100. The matte was added in editing to give it the feel of watching it on an old tv.

[97AlanD]

Orginal! I bet I'm the only person in my WHOLE SCHOOL THAT HAS HEARD THIS SONG!

[ThePharmakia]

people are starting to get pissed off because I share this on facebook so much!

[THEBIGEGGPLANT]

[freakologie]

GREAT band and really awesome video

[Truthwillsetyoufree4]

This song reminds me of my childhood so much (Im 19), I love it! :D

[LeeGellie]

I fall in love with VF every time I listen to them. They are one of the most original bands ever!

[MrRisingScepter]

I'm not going to lie.

I hate this shit, but I have the utmost respect for them as a band.

[yellow835]

this song is the most stupid thing i have ever heard in my life. this is something that should b played at funerals

[argonianskullmagnet]

@yellow835

everybody is entitled to their own opinion but no one ever said they had to listen

[JenGreenup]

I FREAKIN LOVE this video. i watch it all the time. my facebook friends are sick of me posting it.

[bawbby69]

I saw them once in '88 and then 2 more times in the '90's. They still got it!

[javalink1]

I got to see them in 1985 with the Fleshtones & a completely unheard of band at the time, 10,000 Maniacs for 5 bucks. yesss.

[drezler5]

that's a work of mild genius. awesome.

[unavaiblle]

strangeeee :)

[lovexmakesxtears]

They're Spanish, they have no idea what they're saying haha.

[PosieDada]

That was pretty awesome actually.

[scumgod13]

Love the Femmes saw them in 96!

[FiltheeSepsis]

@scumgod13

Lucky.

[scumgod13]

@FiltheeSepsis

Even MORE than Lucky, I was working the show (Stagehand) I got to help set up their equipment. It was here in TN at a Friends of The Smokies (Mountains) rally/concert.

[horseyaddicted]

Hahah well done...fuck...that was crazy!!

[scumgod13]

@horseyaddicted

I know what your name means. Be careful with that shit.

[DNAdamsEdict]

I agree with my husband, about the mindfuck and his crunchy feet.  That vid was fabulous!

[moestock]

nice

[CrunchyFeet]

That was a total mindfuck...I loved it!!

[japanman316]

This isnt the violent femmes, just some guys making a video for the song.

[scumgod13]

@japanman316 Thanks for that invaluable bit of information.

[Lunto88]

wow didnt know this one, its brilliant O_o

[crawford1976]

Really, really good job, guys!

[DioArt]

Great Music! I wounder how it would sound if 2manydj's or justice or digitalism pick this song to make a remix????!!!!

[mabcanada]

I miss the 80's

[oberonfamily]

one of there best songs ty for finding it

[neumerder]

Their best song ever exept dance motherfucker+whats the matter with jesus....

[aimsux3214]

Violent Femmes are so under rated.  Their is very unique.

[TJae1]

Sarah/Kenzie... is that U?

[54spiritedwill54]

this is good.

[pattisunshine]

totally awesome, ESPECIALLY considering it was shot in the 80's you guys must have had some sweet equipment back in the day

[bobs4542009]

great fucking song

[Phoenixfan77]

Not to bad. great job for back in the 80s. If what you say is true, jaquespratt, then shots from this video are older than me (born in 88). I don't think Gordon would kick your asses, I just think he'd probably curse and shake his head, then congratulate you guys on your attempt.

[pinkyfoo3]

Fuck you. You almost ruined this song.

[sunnyhoneypie]

Gordon would kick your asses for this.

i think it was a cute effort , then again I would laugh my ass off to see all of them getting their asses kicked.

[Nebuchader]

first time i heard this was back in -89. An fellow american student brought this music to us in Sweden. I loved it ever since ;)

[ZoophPA]

Hallowed Ground this is not.

Gordon would kick your asses for this.

That said, nice try.

I applaud the effort.

[gornandez]

this is really good! when i first saw it i was like... uh oh, amateur video. but i can watch it over and over. great cuts! when did you make this? what are you now, directors?

[jaquespratt]

this video is circa 1986...

[mrcydonia]

The majority of this video was shot in the late 80s at Woodway High School. Most of the fancy transitional effects and the quick montages of various weird images were added recently.

[digicult449]

Spectacular ! :D im so impressed AWESOME VIDEO! :) thumbs up! :P

[OsvaldoPaese]

Violente, coolio, music transposition, composition extra, muscular voice, inutive choice, indeed a unique song...

[grnshady]

its not complete is it?

[subcmtmarques]

it is complete, believe it or not....

this song is short, but awesome

[matteoeoeo]

i hear the rain, again, after so many years. fantastic

[latinopig]

this.

this is good.

[SadieDammit]

Looks like you had fun with this :)
