Hey, you—the person reading this comment. Scroll back up and watch this video again. But this time do it in a dark room with the sound all the way up.
there is more than just the "i say fever" to "five years" in this song and video. including the grim reaper at 3:17. im just saying, therealot more too it.
@irotinmyskin I know! He's great. His name is Stefan Nadelman and he has an incredible website & youtube channel— touristpictures(dot)com and youtube/touristpictures
I just touched base with what Menomena has done recently after a few years. When I read that Brent left to concentrate on Ramona Falls I thought "this Ramona Falls project better be really good or I'll be really disappointed"
Much to my surprise I am not disappointed. Though I will still miss him being in Menomena
i love how every action in the video corresponds to the music. Each head movement, the way each character walks, the match on action with the instruments, the sound when the guns are shooting, the color/mood change once the verse kicks in. I could go on and on. This is truly a work of art.
Eagles steal (noticeably the Bald Eagle), rabbits are slick, wolves are good at choosing the perfect time to attack. See the heads of animals beneath the human heads symbolise the behaviors of humans. The creator's message is that we all act like animals really. In fact at one point in life we all already have.
for me this ripped off heads represent the soul of the humans, leaving only their animalistic behavior behind without it. The eagle guy seems to collects the heads for the bag (money?) granted to him later. Meanwhile the women seduce one man to kill the eagle for the higher good, but in the end all where betrayed and the devil ( maybe represented with the wolve head) gets to all of them taking back what he offered to the believers and gets a huge harvest and drives of into another area.
I'm baffled by this video...O_O' this has so many applications in my head, originality like no-other, excellent timing of environment colors, lyrics sound distribution are on Q... This artist is a pro... Hat's off to the creator... '(^_~d
@OmniTron1000 no, it is. it has to deal with the end of the world, aka 5 years, and forces higher than us that truly play us as their "game". but it is a love story if that helps at all? lol, i guess....
think about the video, don't just "watch" it. everyone, including myself, needs to start "interpreting" and stop just "watching". it's about the apocalypse that's around the bend. oh, and paul mcartney (sp?) is the anti-christ. "watch" THE WINGED BEATLE - THE MOVIE and then some alister crowley documentaries and then "interpret". and if you play the word ante'christ as it is to be pronounced, it says SIR Mcartney.
What team? This was done by one insanely talented guy. Same dude who did Terminal Bar. You should look that up and watch it. Be prepared to be blown away.
this is just plain amazing...how funny that this guy left menomena and made something amazing and also menomena managed to put out an incredible album
@Danselky You missed a) the lyrics b) the woman we see in the background throughout the film who nursed him and is at the end chased through the woods by a man. c) that by the end male or female is less significant than the animal they are underneath
Every once in a while I stumble across a gem like this and my faith in humanity is somewhat restored. The artistry in this--musically, visually, and conceptually--is incredible. That there are people out there who want to and do make stuff like this is very reassuring.
Then again, it also makes me want to give up in my own attempts. Double-edged sword, I guess.
@etc43 what the hell do you mean faith in humanity. I am gonna let you in on a secret there is NO HUMANITY, press, media anything, there is only you, its how you perceive it. ( And i wrote this to make a note to my future self, kinda like bill and teds bogus journey) not for humanity or you or anyone there is only me, understand what i see.
@bayareamystery Not sure exactly what you mean by "there is no humanity." If you're implying that the very concept of society is a construct, I don't disagree. I also don't disagree that in some sense, there is only me and what I perceive in this world of subjectivity. (Existentialism, not solipsism.)
Regardless, some other individual in that world made this, and I happen to think it is great. It is also similar to things that I aspire to create. Am I not allowed to be reassured by that?
I just thought of something, what if the heads meant their secrets. Like they could use it to blackmail people or something. . . I could totally be wrong
Reminds me a lot of Jose Gonzalez's 'Hand on your Heart' video. Brilliant! The masks covering the animal heads is such a great metaphor for civilization's straining hold on our animal tendencies, lust, violence, greed, etc.
