  • SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS MUSIC VIDEO!!!

  • @yellowdot1100 I think the cartoon is the man in the video, I think he died by eating noodles and he's in the afterlife looking back.. not sure :3

  • Beautiful mainline to cosmic godly bliss...

  • MrDelight666 either has a really good sense of humour, and is pulling a fast one over everyone's eyes, or he is a complete and utter moron.

  • swear to god i can't sleep at night 'cause of this.

  • One of the single best videos I ever saw.

  • One thing I think is great about Four Tet's music, is that you just listen to some nice music. You don't have to bother about some person trying to deliver a specific message by using words. It's really up to yourself what kind of message you form from the music.

  • @iseeurthings yep :) and therefore no arguments

  • 2:10 so beautiful

  • Fuzzy Feeling :3

  • wow, this song is so interesting. im so glad Britney Spears made this song popular. whatever she touches turns to gold. she is the best.

  • im glad Britney Spears is a part of this song, its good to see a very talented singer and composer like BS change game and do this. it just shows how talented she really is, AMAZING.

  • this song is always stuck in my mind, like it just pops in all the time as if it were reminding me to do something

  • What a gorgeous video for an otherworldly song.

  • I love Britney, and her Documentary is what led me to this song. It sucks when I come here to appreciate this beautiful song and people are bashing a musician I love on a video I would never discover had it not been for her. Whether you're a fan of her or not, please respect her for her art form just like I came here to do. Fair enough?

  • @Obese21 fuck you and Britney!

  • @funkyk cool

  • @Obese21 dont worry bro, i can think at the end of the day, message of music is all what matters. people here obv dislike Britney, im not sure why, since i belive there is a strong reason why songs like these were in her documentary. however, it would be much nicer if you could enjoy nice comments from both sides, but like this songs message is, u cant have it all. peace!

  • @bballkann I respect people for what they say up until they disrespect somebody I actually admire. but I do understand and agree with what you're saying

  • @Obese21 your such a pathetic loser! why dont you die while masturbating to britney spears?

  • @kyokookanami its nice that Britney help make this song popular. most the people here are because of Britney. What ever she touches turns to gold. she is absolutely amazing. i just wanted to point out that she practically made this song, before it was just a random beat, now that she has brought attention to it, people can realize how cool of song it really is, thanks to her.

  • @MrDelight666 Troll. Troll in the dungeon.

  • @rjhunt88 i got you , haha

  • @MrDelight666 what the fuck are you going on about! fuck that white trash whore

  • I like the beat and sound, but can somebody explain this video.

  • @PhunkiFLiP: art needs no explanation...

  • @champloomusic There's a meaning in every art...

  • 24 people put their headphones onto the knee...

  • This is just one of those songs that makes everything in the world seem alright again

  • my favorite song from "Rounds" when i think of Four Tet this song and "Sun Drums and Soil" are what come to mind.

  • 3:35 - he was in supersaiyan form

  • is it me or is this video a little disturbing for some reason...amazing song tho =)

  • love the fourtet vs britney thread. so beautifully inappropriate. like oil on a beach.

  • The simplest tweaks and turns of dials by this artist instills past memories, all triggered by a sound he created. @2:10 - onward makes me cry.

  • "for the record", i very much doubt britney spears can appreciate how sublime this track is

  • britney spears exists in a muffled, distant universe far far away from this music

  • @8xngc hahaha. i love you. 

  • @8xngc Britney Spears still exists???

  • I don't think I could hallucinate something trippier than that O_o

  • @100percentrekkie Maybe not

    But

    It is worth a shot.

  • why are the comments so long? you can just say "i like this song"

  • @lordrunsie why bother to write a poem? you could just say i love you. Why bother paiting? you could just take a photograph. why bother to describe something? you can just Black and White everthing and say this is good and this is not.

    Man seriously....

  • This shit is touching. Amazing song, amazing video. Hits me right at the core.

  • Comment removed

  • my interpretation - JEALOUSY?

    they are all 3 forms of the same thing...man..figure and picture.

    the figure is jealous of mans world living dancing eating etc.....he chops off his legs so they become the same thing..........then the picture starts watching the figure jealous of the figures movement.....maybe the same misfortune will happen to him?

  • hahah i started talking shit three years ago about britney on here and now its the highest rated comment !

  • That's the thing about videos like this, they can be interpreted many different ways, it leaves me to wonder if the artist ever had a clear idea of what they were trying to express of if they just through together a bunch of thought provoking images and leave it to people to interpret a billion different ways. I saw this video 5 years ago, then forgot about it, it was used in a documentary that I was watching so I watched the credits and found it again. I cried 5 years ago, now just nostalgia.

  • i think the video might be about stereotypes or racism. The boy is asian, therefore he eats noodles. Cut him in half, and noodles spill out. In the end his picture fades and only his two freckles/moles/beauty marks remain, perhaps representing his individuality. I'm probably wrong but this is how i interpret what I just saw.

  • Comment removed

  • Everyday he do the same things.When he is dead,he could look back his life,and he cry for it.Nowaday,people busy with there stuff.Walk on exactly the same way everyday,do same thing,eat same things,and go back home alone on a dark street.Live.Dont be a machine like him.In this clip,there is alot people like him.One more thing.In this clip,theres no one else.Just that guy.When we live,we always think that we have alot of friend. But when we live and die like him, we just realize we've had no one.

  • ...what just happened?

  • Look- where did you get the four tet "my angel walks back and fourth video"? Did the Yakuza chop is legs off? Is this guy in a wheel chair because of the Yakuza?

  • Every good song on Youtube is trolled by people who think it's funny to terrorize hipsters by name-dropping mainstream artists in the comments section.

  • This song reminds me that people are made by the matter of the dreams...

  • I totally understand this video. I know exactly what he was saying and going through. I can totally relate.

  • @seandeeyousee

    can you please explain? I'm not exactly sure what's meant but it just makes me sad

  • @swirls6 i sent you my interpretation

  • @seandeeyousee Could you send me you interpretation please. I can't get this video out of my head like the guy below said it just makes you sad.

  • @CalisCool Yeah bro, I'll give you my two cents on the vid. He does the same thing day after day, with food representing his daily habits. He dies and watches a playback of his life and begins to realize it sucked. When he's chopped in half he's filled with the noodles he ate every day, and nothing else, because his life and person lacked substance. The lights that ascend are the millions of others who have come to the same realization and are laughing as they watch him come to it as well. =P

  • @ColtonCM Your response was way more relavent than the other guys lol

  • It's impossible to hate on this. This track/video... it's made of pure beauty.

  • Comment removed

  • beautiful

  • <3 Britney

  • why were folk who like this song watching a documentary about/ by/ for britney spears? she's a tool.

  • wtf is this stupid shit?

    i tried to interpret it and only saw gibberish.

  • this video used to scare the shit and creep the crap out of me when i was like 11. its really good though!

  • The video is horrible. Doesn't suit the ambient sphere of the song at all

  • @Nithralas

    It fits the song just fine to me, there's so much shit going on in this there's no way you could catch it all once

  • 2:10.....beauty!

  • No offense (even though I know there will be flaming trolls), but how can this be seen as "good" or "beautiful"? The music is very slow, no text, (imo) ugly clip..

  • @Warcraftt990

    it's all opinion. beauty is subjective. it may not beauty in the strict sense of a curvy woman holding flowers, but it's beautiful in a different way.

    like I said, subjective. some people think neck rings make you beautiful, some women cut open their breasts to put in plastic to look beautiful (way to go americe ._. ); it's all very crazy.

  • This one song explains life to me, it's a journey through emotions and memories. Incredible.

  • This is one song that I have actually bought the album for. It's a beautiful piece of music and was well worth it.

  • jesus stop being such music snobs, i bet you can appreciate summer blockbuster movies AND much more meaningful arthouse movies. music works the same way, you got your throwaway pop music (bs) and your more meaningful stuff like fourtet. the song works really well in the docu, conveys a sense of lost innocence, and it gave fourtet some exposure. calm. down.

  • This song reminds me of the Britney Spears documentary "For the Record"

  • 14 People were so exited about that song that they accidently click "dislike"

  • You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

  • @chicken39302 Or you could get a better quality copy, support the artist and actually buy the album....

  • This is so beautiful.

  • fact that the name britney is even mentioned here blows my mind

  • Psilosticks zijn aan

  • far out talk about eye candy, this will be added to my collection. Worthy.

  • @rawfflecakes, another user (BrianASoto) commented about BS and Four Tet. MTV used this very song in her For The Record doc. THAT'S how I connected them. Someone else did the work and I relayed. And yes I realize that there are plenty of other artists out there. Seal or Sade would be some of my personal faves. No need for language ha ha ha!

  • THIS IS HIS BEST TRACK BY A COUNTRY MILE

    

  • Britney Spears as well as Fourtet ar fantastic artists. Britney Spears and Fourtet both write and compose their own music. The only difference is Britney Spears was able to make tons of money out of performing her material. Yes, it's a crappy industry but there are SOME benefits.

  • @JolSummerville hahaha wtf how the fuck did u connect britney and four tet man? u could've used so many other examples. FUCK!!

  • Wow. I don't know what was more impressive, the song or the video. Either way, what an unbelievable combination.

  • Comment removed

  • This video is so fucking powerful, anyone know who made the concept or directed it?

  • Comment removed

  • this makes my heart warm and rushy, and Im not even on drugs

  • Fourtet is art. Britney Spears is Plastic coated shit they made to look pretty so little pre-pubescent school girls will but it.

    I don't know who started this conversation, but that's my two cents.

    (p.s. BrianASoto I put them in different sentences just for you ;)

  • the best thing ever. so relaxing

  • i love this track, he is our single greatest influence

  • sweet & gentle w/ a little grit

  • if you like four tet check me out

    four tet is amazing

  • holy shit, im tearing :3

  • @iXanderz - let me ask you a question; have you ever heard of the term "art"? im not quite sure how this video could possibly be any better. it matches the sorrow of death and the beauty of life perfectly. you need to look deeper into it.. like a visual metaphor.

  • @tikkunolamone i couldn't agree more :)

  • i just put guitar in hands and get started playing around this tune. Its so sad and beautiful. Love it endlessly.

    Peace :)

  • Song name makes me think its about someones best friend that hung themselves for some reason.. Beautiful song (:

  • ...what?

  • I think this song is very sad but very beautiful too..

  • This video is a little bit of magic - I love the lights turning into faces. Genius

  • HOT!!

  • I feel like it's referencing reincarnation a bit...? Eh who knows, it could be anything

  • I couldn't really tell you what the meaning of this video truly is, but it still managed to greatly affect me emotionally. That is the power that Four Tet and music has.

  • Four Tet で1番大好き

  • remember when i first saw this on 120 mins on MTV.... it was amazing like a dream....

  • WWHHAAA!!

  • amazing.

    what they did in britney for the record was SO Inspiring!

  • have it on my dvd, it's magnificent!

  • 2:00 - 2:10 what a great moment!

  • Britney for the RECORD <3

  • @JVCHollister I KNEW IT! lol I had to come check out the video

  • wow really nice video. fitting. i always imagined the song as a guy dying and being on an artificial respirator in a hospital. :P

  • I don't know why, but that is exactly what I always imagined it as also.

  • he's dead and he's watching his life

  • For the Record!

  • woah O.o did'nt really get it, but I liked it

  • noodles anyone?

    No seriously, bloody great animation...

  • wicked

  • his hair is on fire, his head is fire, his brain is on fire, being destroyed. theres a ciggartte in his mouth. then the picture of him bald on the wall and him fading away. great imagery

  • this is by far way beyond such great heights this is unique it its own original way.

  • Best one... the best ive seen so far...

  • Comment removed

  • bokum gibi

  • the beginning reminds me of the Licktung game on Pokemon Stadium 1

  • haha that's exactly what I was thinking

  • @Mixarenan Fuck yeah!

  • @Mixarenan and here i was thinking i could be free from a 'pokemon' reference by watching this vid. weak!

  • @Mixarenan DOMITISAW!!!!.....whatever that means.

  • this song is so cool. i heard this on britney's documentary for the record

  • bonita cancion

    muy chido :)

  • This reminds me of the opening credits of Box of Delights. Do a search, you'll see what I mean.

  • my angel. love her.

  • Sickness. Amazing & Beautiful

  • cunts

  • I fucking love this song. And please do not comment anything about Britney on a Four tet page. please

  • who cares if your a britney fan or not

    this song is beautiful everyone can appreciate that

  • I think Britney heard this song, realized how terrible her music is, and shaved off all of her hair.

    Honestly, this song drips with emotion. It makes me happy to be a part of the world.

    (P.S. the Britney thing is a joke. Don't go all Crocker on me.)

  • i herd this song on Britney Spears For the record documentry loved it but didnt know what it was just found out amazing!

  • its not the fact that the song was in britney spears documentary that offends me,the fact that your name is britney superfan does disturb me some what though.

  • hahahaha

  • This song is so sick.

  • great song.

    respect.

    IDM rulesss

  • This is a truly amazing song, and I really haven't ever heard of Four Tet. I sure do like their music now! I am sorry if this offends anyone, but I did hear this song in the Britney Spears documentary. This really is an emotional song, and it really brings up a lot of old memories.

  • Four Tet and Britney Spears are two names that should never be spoken together in the same sentence. Try your best to refrain from smearing Four Tet with the shallow, commercial dross of a Britney Spears, k thx.

  • amen

  • four tet didnt refrain from taking money from the shallow, commercial dross of britney spears....

  • yr so indie

  • @BrianASoto Well, you seem to be guilty yourself.

  • @BioQuartz

    Rule that proves the exception, etc, etc?

  • @BriitneyFan It doesn't. This song isn't art because I deem it so. Her music isn't art because you do. Anything can and will be "art" when the public decides. Good or bad, my opinion doesn't matter when it's against the masses. Mainstream will always win. The only real problem I had with you was you're first comment. You can't defend her just because she's more successful in the charts. In artistic direction anyway. What usually gets mainstream popularity isn't exactly widely known for it.

  • @052947065 My first comment was directed at someone who said Britney and this artist shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence meaning that the artist was better than Britney & I replied. Like I said, everyone's perception of art is different, I'm not going to repeat myself. Just because the music is actually successful doesn't make the music isn't art or that it has no creditability.

  • @BriitneyFan Yeah and that person was basically saying that they believed four tet was miles better than britney. You obviously said britney was better, but backed up your statement by saying she was more successful in the charts. That ws my problem. It really doesnt matter what's art and what isn't lol.

  • i like that song! (:

  • haha after reading these comments I'm soooooo glad I didn't hear this on any britney spears thing.

  • yeahh lets all talk about britney spears on a four tet page... yeahhhhhh fuckin gimps lol

  • That's ridiculous. Something that naive and straightforward is disgraceful to a song like this.

  • I am with you about britney spears, SpaulinEv! Four tet is a grade above MTV as far as I am concerned.

  • fuck yes to fourtet. fuck no to britney spears

  • I heard this on Britney's: For The Record last year and have been looking for this ever since!! love this song!!!!

  • Britneys what?

    u heard this song in britneys video or something?

    why do u talk about britney? huh lol im confused xD

  • this song was used on britneys spears huge tv show a couple of months back!
