Wildfire is good for our planet. Too much suppression is choking our forests. Otherwise a good video. Smokey Bear needs to be carefully restoring fire to our public lands.
I love how puzzling this video is. The crow that is always black shows color beneath its wings, the crab can spin and dance, and the pray mantis, whose intimacy in reality is ended by decapitation, is instead shown with great love. But all of these ambitions, this greatness that will never be, is destroyed. Their destroyers, the humans, are connected to them.
"It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth.
It's a lot sweeter than reality: one of them gets eaten by his 'other half' after the maiking out part.... :) I LOVE the lablogotheque version of this song btw!!!
Man, I saw these guys open for the Mountain Goats in...'06? The crowd that night was horrible...no respect for the opening band, but these guys were AMAZING.
Gran cancion, y tremendo video... y sobre todo el nombre de este trio... Haciendo referencia a una ave australiana (macho) que engalana a la hembra, mediante un decorado muy llamativo de su nido para atraerla y aparearse....
'it takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth' - is it not about polluting the planet? listening to it while travelling to somewhere far away seems somewhat inappropriate unless you're walking there!
Just got the CD. What an absolutely great new band. It seems like there are so few "greats" these days, although i may be missing something. Bowerbirds certainly is in the "great" group.
And the love affair commences... Such a great talent and well-executed video. In fact, it's easily one of the better executed videos I've seen in a long time. "We're only human.. and least we this we know." Avery great band and an equally great video.
lol.. "Poon"
