Brand New - Luca

[Emdream18]

where was this video shot at? The scenery looks very calming and nice.

[freezombie]

@Emdream18 It was shot around 47.8N,11.3E (enter into google maps) — I'm not quite sure which of the lakes we used exactly.

[girl123interrupted]

@freezombie This video was so beautifully done.

[rumadbro]

very impressed with the vid guys. the concept was simple, suited the (amazing) song and executed well with, what seems like, just you guys and a handycam. I had a strong feeling he was gonna go into the water and thrash around a bit when the electric guitars kick in but didn't see the hands coming. nice..... a twist :) was that the guy in the cement galoshers who was dragged in earlier?

[NicciRoxSox]

this band has saved my life so many times..

[aabbee150]

really nice video :)

[TimVFischer]

awesome video, and amazing plot. i love brand new but hadn't heard this song prior, so i didn't know the pickup in the song was coming, and the twist in the video went perfect with it. great job on this.

[FireFlySunsets]

First time I heard this song, I paused it on the ducks at 4:02 and went to the bathroom. When I came back I turned the volume all the way up and hit play. It's a good thing I went to the bathroom or I would've pissed myself. xD

[asheebee89]

I really enjoyed this video. Plus you're way cute, guess that helps. Brand New! <3

[dancergrl33]

That was actually really good. I thought some of the camera angles were fantastic. Of course you could tell a few things were amateur, but despite that, great job. I love this song. ♥

[Megan2012Rose]

that.. was kickass! :D

loved it.

[jdawg221]

Filmed in Michigan?

[GetABeachHouse]

@jdawg221 bavaria, germany, in fact

[herm1own7ninny]

WOW! =)

[Paveway54]

You really did do a great job with this. Keep after it. You can only get better with each video!

[Bellsstuff1]

oh no hes stuck in the BP oil spill at the end someone Grab the dawn!!!!

good job though

[YourFavouriteWeaponn]

Pretty good job, especially the water bit where the guy attacks him! Was pretty scary. Good though :) Effective...

[ndm6989]

best song to listen to right after you smoked with ur friends.

[rageinheart]

@ndm6989 Hell yea ni66a

[girl123interrupted]

I really love the way it was filmed. Very much beyond you guys' years! what are you 16? 17? very very good.

[GetABeachHouse]

@girl123interrupted thx! i think we were still16 at that time, good guess! :)

[amandarkfly]

I've never laughed so hard. You ruined this song so bad.

[DaysStrange]

i really like this video for being an amateur :)

[JAZlovesATL]

holy shit! i had a heart attack at 4:11 ahaha

great video!

[irishkelly92]

at first i was like...is this children of the corn?

jk i love this song :)

[magicalwrath]

this is pretty pro

[penbottle]

no good!

[thehondarider250]

sweet vid man for sure ur getting the 5/5 from me

[FireFlySunsets]

superb

[BassistsDoItBetterr]

Change up the wardrobe a bit. Bright blue short shorts and shirt ruin the effect of the video. Great filming though.

[endlessxxenvy]

I like this. : D Very intriguing.

[stfuitsmax]

I believe that this video would be much more effective if instead there were two people in the water, instead of just one boy rolling around..

[fersureXmaybeX]

I just had a heart spasm. DX

Great video.:)

[natural570]

that was sweet

[TitanTheManic]

I paused it right at the bit with the ducks. Worst place to pause -_-

[blueorchid1100]

shat my pants....scariest thing ever XD

[lilmissrocky06]

Excellent song with an excellent video.

[Pandagraffiti]

you did this song PERFECT justice. good job. for real

5 stars

[scio8]

...i wana go swiming now..

[Icreatemonsters]

i really liked this video, its good.

[sougenchan]

is it just me or does this song have a lot of kidnapping references?

[xlexirulesx]

OMFG, TOTAL BAMF MOMENT WHEN HE GETS PULLED UNDER.

nice video / 5 stars.

[jpalmthegreat7]

sick video dude. at first i wondered what it was about. but its clear. i love when he gets pulled under. thats such a brand new thing to do... hha great job!

[darkred270]

retarded

[manifestdestiny17]

i really like it alot. but the ending was random! haha is that still the song?

[GetABeachHouse]

we didn't change a second of the song...

[VivaLaJamii]

haha effects straight off of windows movie maker?

tight video.

[GetABeachHouse]

surely ;)

[dlyndr]

lol I just want to yell at the kid drowning: "It's only about three feet deep! You can stand up, we all see the mud you're stirring up with from the floor!" I hope he didn't die :'(

[jackson63]

well, I know what song I'm using next time I choreograph a synchronized swimming routine.

[freezombie]

cheers, mate

[Blackhammer99]

eh?

[GetABeachHouse]

i was nearly 100% serious :)

[Blackhammer99]

I appreciate your honesty on a less then mature forum such as this... =)

[freezombie]

I might add, GetABeachHouse was the guy that played to protagonist in this film. The kid dressed in blue. Wow, that was ages ago.

YouTube comments... are often immature, yes :-) but we can make them as mature as possible, and you seam to be one of the more mature members of the community, Blackhammer99 =)

[GetABeachHouse]

amen. but the most immature thing in here is this damned advertisment on the right upper corner which claims to know when i die and starts to giggle all the time. i hope it has nothing to do with our vid...

[Blackhammer99]

I appreciate your ability to create art. You have earned my respect. I'm sure there are some reading this that I have gotten in debates with, especially when discussing this band, but only because my good friend loves them and I'm trying to understand what she is in love with. Also, it is because I am a struggling artist waiting for his break, and am disappointed when I see publicized art that is weak. But your translation of this into art is admirable, if only because of the passion you used.

[jehuty7620]

ur kewl dood

[Blackhammer99]

I don't get it? You like the song so much that you make a music video for it? lol... if your that into the music learn how to play it and go make a cover band like everyone else...

[freezombie]

maybe, just maybe, we're totally into film making, rather enjoy the music, and suck at making music ourselves.

[Blackhammer99]

Oh lol... I didnt even think about that. If filmmaking is your thing then more power to ya... I was too focused on the song aspect to realize that this was a hybrid endeavor crossing two genres of entertainment. My appologies my friend. Keep up the good work.

[GetABeachHouse]

wow. if all users thought like you, youtube would be a better place.

[GetABeachHouse]

i meant to write:

how boring.

(referring to blackhammer)

maybe i should just stop making useless comment replies.

[lifeisublime]

i wish you hadnt been wearing like... powder blue the whole time. but other then that it was awesome :)

[freezombie]

everyone, thanks for the nice comments. And, none of us usually wears colours like that. Any more at least. Cheers :-)

[Devinpw0]

I lked it and im gona fav it, but i think the ending wood b better if the main guy got out of the water and was only hallusinating it

[apneaBode]

bahah! right on guys! you did awesome, i love the ending, it was perfect. <3 good on ya.

[TrAYLORtrashhh]

wow. great job guys.. definitely would watch more videos from you

[klrocks0]

I usually get shivers when the heavy guitar starts, It just so powerful..

I like this :)

[crooyx10]

@klrocks0 i thought it was only me....

[killbotsz]

Awesome, well done video guys, filmed on a poor quality handcam and you still managed to make it look great.

My favorite amateur music video ever

[love666my666oggy666]

:D Amazing! :D I Love It !!!

[arghzombies]

This is the only home made music video on youtube I have ever enjoyed! Well good idea and filming, fit perfectly, good job! And that lake looks so nice.

[julyblondie08]

That was awesome when he got pulled under!!!!!!

[JazzyNee03]

wow...that was awesome...this is one of my favorite Brand New songs! =]

great interpretation!

[tommyquality]

that was cool.

good job!

[Specket22]

4:14 the best

[consauce14]

that was rad dude...and this is like the best song ever made

[TimesLikeTheseee]

I wanna swim in that lake

[highlife1986]

i love this song! its like a cross between led zeppelin and the beatles.

[LawrenceBarclay]

If anybody played Operation Flashpoint (2001)... do you agree that the village looks just like the ones they have on Everon?

[lindseyperk]

omg this video is so beauiful.. i wanna move to wherever this was filmed!!!

nicely done boys

[lolimessedup]

is this the original version or the new Luca(Reprise) ?

[GetABeachHouse]

its the original version - the reprise version doesn't have that shocking part ;)

[lolimessedup]

ahh,

thanks :]

[mattrosa10]

good, very good, I like how at the ending part you have someone you can hardly see who pulls you in, like it was the guy you dragged in

[conspiracylife13]

the ending scared the shit outta me!!! i loved this vid!

[MonkyWannaBannana]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

THIS VIDIO IS SO FUCKIG FUNNY.

LOVE THE SHORT SHORTS!!

NICE LEGS!

Im sure ur bf @ 2:30 loves them too. and the backstroke while swimming was for him too right?

NICE

but is this vidio about u killing somone?

[prophetsofdoom]

Where was this filmed? the mountains look familiar.

[freezombie]

This was filmed around the Osterseen lakes, close to the Bavarian alps. You might have spotted the alps at some point, I wouldn't know ;-)

To everyone else, thanks for your awesomely friendly comments :-)

[SmackAnAlex]

yeah I like that ending part so I favorited this video...good video...Goes with the song, but the rest of your video's are all the same damn thing...kid running and somthing chaseing and what not....DONT BE AFRAID TO GET MORE CREATIVE! Good Video and Awsome Song Over all. Peace and Love... KNOWS WHERE YOU"VE BEEN!

[MertezAad]

"i'm sure there's someone who knows....WHERE YOU BEEN!!!!!!"

makes me jump every time lol.

[Topyftw]

Br& New is the best band. ever.

I mean...rly.

[wompwomp13]

i love this song.

i have a feeling it's about Luca Brasi from the Godfather, with all the drowning and cement shoes references, though i could be wrong =D

[blackfireINSANITY]

Yeah, it is.

[Worldofwoincraft]

all these video interpretations are about the someone runs, goes or what ever...

[UknowitsMarian]

also, reminds me of a movie called mean creek! really pretty area you live in as well.

[UknowitsMarian]

i really like this for some reason!

[kotake13]

I jumped the first time I heard hte end of this song. I was driving in my car. I could have died haha

[Love2dream829]

hahaha the same thing happened to me!!!

its so unexpected

amazing song though (:

[Undersunandsky]

"The last universal ancestor (LUA), also called the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) or the cenancestor, is the hypothetical latest living organism from which all organisms now living on Earth descend. Thus it is the most recent common ancestor of all current life on Earth." - from Wiktionary

-- in other words, I'm not quite sure what the title means. Can someone enlighten me?

[xpeacexout]

i'm pretty sure the title refers to a character from The Godfather, Luca Brasi, Don Corleone's most trusted and loyal personal enforcer.

[Pridge125]

The reason he says he is a bedwetting cosmonaut is because when he was a little kid, he wanted to be an astronaut and a cosmonaut is actully a russain astronaut i believe.

[geirkaarebakken]

this song is so sweet!

[xMusicisLife2010x]

brand new is fucking amazing. without them, i probably would have blown my head off by now....

[carouselcs]

with this song i understood about brand new and now i adore them! love the final riff so much

[TalTheGreatest]

Brand New has got to be one of the greatest bands out there and their lyrics are so out there that they will amaze you every time you hear the song again.

"I am drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut"

[OOdonuts]

That's a Horrifying sound- I bet people have died in car accidents... and shock

-this song is not for the faint of heart(especially when you're at home by yourself at night like I was the first time!)

[pistolsnviolets]

love the final riff!

[Skidmarxx]

Wow liked the video alot. now everytime i hear this song oi think of your vid. props

[coolguyzak]

wherever you live is insane

[kasra333]

this video sucked donkey balls! the song was mind blowing though!

i do appreciate your effort!

[rissle1]

for i am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake.

[johnstangg]

Freezombie: In my first films I always had the actor walking/running. It was hard to develop a solid structure, and that was an easy cop out. You'll get there...

[stpthstrain]

haha! the part where the whole band comes back in after the bridge with the feedback and the scream scared the SHIT out of me i think my heart actually stopped for a second!

[flyawayhome3]

haha same for the first time of listening, i turned it up cos it went quiet, and then BOOM.

[Rockedmysocksoff]

always fun to play in the car for people who have never heard it, they never see it coming

[flyawayhome3]

unless they're the driver... :P

[sxeeplta]

hahaha!

[sappynirvana09]

LOL that's how I first heard this song. I was hooked instantly.

[ballet23]

hahaha i know i love that, it scares people ahhahahaha

[psycholuca]

Luca is a name !

the song is beautiful =)

[OOdonuts]

I though that was going to suck. The camera effects were amazing for a homemade music video!

[kingherod123]

Does the word luca have any meaning?

[TrowaStrife1]

Its a reference from "The Godfather"

[roagy1]

why is it when you are drowning that your legs keep popping out the water?

it could have been much more effective i think

still good idea

[nadia444]

Ah that hecka scared me when the guy reached out of the water!

[trojanLow]

that water is awesome its all clear.

[NoUrgency]

whats with that jew thats just smiling?

[nba1341]

I laughed so hard when you were flapping around in the water at the end of the song

[omgmnre2]

where was this filmed?

[freezombie]

We filmed this in the "Osterseen" area south of lake Starnberg in the south of Germany.

[omgmnre2]

Really? Wow... I liked alot of the shots. Cool scenery...

[MEamSwEeT]

saw them live at lollapalooza yesterday. i liked them alot this was my favorite song they did.

[HoracioGo15]

holy shit u saw them too i got a vid of them playin tommy gun dont where were u sittin at?

[rmB8ZXH]

lol cheezy video... i like this version of the song, how come mine don't have a sweet awsome scream at the end?

[EndMyDaysWithYou]

That scream at the end is terrifying.

[yemenohman]

that scares the shit out of me every time.

[possiblySammm]

same. fucking immense though.

[HearWithYourEyes]

aha. love the ending.

Brand New <3

[KeeLiphotonics]

Ive scared so many friends with that bridge bit having it reeli loud on my hifi =P you reeli used that moment in the song amazingly =D

[DesAllen7]

Wow, real good for amature.

Fucking BEST SONG EVER by the way :)

[protesttheccfc]

Agreed, fucking immense song.

[000D4rkst4r000]

i love the gayness in this video. it makes me feel hot.

keep on with that.

[xubu]

im thizzin hella hard and this song is fuckin RAW

[hardcoremauler]

Yes I'm sure that water would be delicious.

[maxizzlefrizzle92]

that was some clean,good-looking water. is it just a local lake or bay or what,guys?

a'ight vid,by the way.

[unvme601]

i am loving the font in the end its fuckin great

[hilfslude29]

u are homosexual

[letmethinkabouthat]

great song! pretty nice vid too!

[nineridesshotgun]

sorry, i just flipped. just thought it was lame

[nineridesshotgun]

you are the type of people that make bands sell out.

You are the type of people the break every type of music down into a lame catagory

You are type of people that embarass yourself and try to relate to the song. Its cool you made a video, but I think you shouldve used MyChemicalRomanceboohoo type shit. Let Luca be performed by a pioneer. with no gay video

[freezombie]

We don't mind criticism, but this comment is too fuzzy and emotional to help anyone. If you explain what the problem is, maybe even in a video response, that would be much appreciated. Also, I don't see how we used some kind of "lame" category here.

looking forward to hearing from you,

-fz

[Ogilvie14]

haha, Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes!

[StewpidGuys]

look at the cocksuker in the baby blues

[penguin1151]

great song, crap video!!!

[dom7788]

very nice work. i esecially appreciated your shots and how whenever the character was running, you gave him not much space in front of him in the frame to show he was trapped and didnt know where he was going.

[leonhard1213]

der Song ist sehr schön und das video ist natürlich Wunderschön gemacht: respekt:-))

[dapacman13]

love this song, and this video was pretty good. brand new is amazing, and this is one of their best songs. you definitely did it justice, good job! 5 stars from me

[cleanyournose]

dude very nice ending, loved it

[Jatzia]

Really nice video for an awesome song.

[letmethinkabouthat]

i love this song

[jaja310886]

simply amazing. both, song AND video.

[jeepoffroadking]

awesome job on the crazy color changing job and the quick flash backs that was really tripy.

[shaunmichaelcruz]

great work doing this video. thanks for making a video to this song.

[andysndrs]

this vid is legit. Great Job

[entrust]

Sick video dude, love it.

[colleg3k1d]
