[hughkelly1993]

Like If The Sopranos brought you here.

[Davidest627]

@hughkelly1993 I was expecting to see Sil hitten Fat Dom with a dustbuster...

[TheMoneymaker662]

i had to use my shazam app to find out who sang this song after watching sopranos loll love it

[soonermagic24]

what is this about? im confused

[jmuduke99]

Is that Alan Rickman in the beginning?

[jmuduke99]

@jmuduke99 Nevermind - I should try reading the description before asking stupid questions. LOL.

[AnimeBox1]

William Burroghs. One of the great minds of my mothers generation

[XxBiancaRoxsxX]

gosh or history teacher made us listen to this and try to write what he was saying.......i gave up after the first one

[thomasnolanearnshaw]

if you didnt 5 star this you need to kill yourself

[kotozyrules]

this is the mk ultra monarch child mind control ritual abuse. sick.

[TheSeverusaSnapelove]

El interrogador mm me da miedo !

[TheSeverusaSnapelove]

I did not know that Amnesty had something related with this film!

[miles2057]

i heard this song on the sopranos, start of first ep , season 6. the song and the scenes r really intense and like a lot of u guys i had to look it up. william s burroughs is the the narrator in the song.

[rossome13]

thats where i heard if fist too

[jtdavis44]

months ago, i also heard this song on sopranos! and googled it to find the name. i found out all the info and got the cd off of ebay!

[aaronspayd]

Me and my dad used to clean out houses for our manager, and one time we cleaned out the house of a guy who legally changed his name to John Rambo. Along with a bunch of porno, years' worth of baseball stats, and a huge stack of gun magazines (all kept in mint condition mind you) a tape containing this song and a bunch of Bob Marley tunes were the only things even worth trying to save for selling. I sold the rest of the stuff, and kept the tape because of this song. Glad to find it on the Tube...

[heru1966]

Great tune, featuring Sly Dunbar on the drums...I remember the album from 1990 or thereabouts :-)

[Patriotic13]

i have been looking for this song for awhile! i heard it on a sopranos episode its so unique

[blindsnakesundae]

My wife used this track as the backdrop to a project at photo-school many years ago. She took still images of funerals at our local church and wove it all together using a slide projector. Apparently it weirded out the whole class for days. Wish I was there.

[uberover]

dinnerbucket9s' critique is dead on. Particularly the last sentence.

[dinnerbucket9]

Again, this is a sappy Euro-trash perfume commecial that somehow serves as the only space for a brilliant collaboration re Burroughs and Laswell. Burroughs contribution [ beyond his extraordinary voice] is his dead pan version of an ancient mythology, and one that resonates beautifully with the dark bass lines Lawell produces. That said, Laswell is the side-man, Burroughs the artist.

[doctortragedy2]

@dinnerbucket9 No, Closetland happens to be a statement about the US Government's cruelty to citizens and the tactics they use to illicit false confessions.

[THRILLHOUSE85]

@dinnerbucket9 I think Burroughs probably would have enjoyed having this applied to a sappy Euro-trash perfume commercial. The ridiculousness acts as nice ballast for what otherwise borders dangerously on pretentious. Otherwise, the song might just float right away...

[stratJL]

i dont get it

[irrelevancy58]

I have to agree with the other posters.... the video is completely off base with the music.

[TRIPLEX300STRONG]

its weird, but madeline is hot :D

[dinnerbucket9]

This video is loathsome....a perfume commercial for yuppie whoremasters. Bill Laswells collaboration with Bill Burroughs is exquisite....a dark-minded lullabye that goes directly to the core of the ancient monsters unstopped heart.

[opiateantagonist]

Yuppie whoremasters??? Do you even know what Closetland is about? It was a film promoted by Amnesty International about the Government and their torture methods.

[tehren99]

Yeah, the tune's good but I'm getting the feeling you're way off re: the video.

[ScornedbySara]

Wow, I had no idea that song and this movie went so well together. For the record, I don't necessarily think she dies at the end of Closetland. Maybe he lets her go?

[princessria123]

reli gud, iv never seen 'closet land' wot is it about? is it good?

[aspr007]

Nossa!!! O Alan está excelente,como sempre e a Stowe também está ótima...mas esse filme, pelo que eu percebi é monstruoso!!!

[Isabell21]

Do anyone know how to get the Polish translation for the movie "Closet Land"?? Please, help me!!!

[pamelarickman]

4L4N R1CKM4N!

[503084]

...But this is not original video 'cos there is no official video for this song.

[503084]

This is one, probably the best, of my fav track from 1994.

[503084]

Góral, jeśli to oglądasz to Tobie zawdzięczam spotkanie z tą płytą, pamietasz Łódź ul. Rewolucji ?

Tak to ja Staszek obecny mąż Agnieszki

[503084]

Tak tawno to było że trochę pomieszałem.

To Darek przyniósł tą płytę nie Góral.

Ha.

[quetzalitomadrid]

such a good video.. !! i like the song and the powerfull voice of William S. Burroughs... great!!

[metalia4]

It's great! That's got a climate!!! Alan has frozen me!

[kataz7]

cool

[mysduende]

Nice video clips to an awesome movie. But gotta say, the music does not fit in any meaningful way.

[Turkbot506]

the music is pretty good but the video has nothing to do wih it and is boring

[mithras718]

Nice video work, but has nothing to do with the reading. And I was unimpressed by the music -- Laswell's version is worlds better.

[tristenrh]

This is also Laswell's version silly. Material is Bill Laswell's band.

[okstereohead]

Lol trying to impress people with your knowledge of the composer which you probably found on wikipedia or imdb or something.

This is Laswell's version. Laswell's band Material...

[frankiepop]

I really didn't like the music here. I rate it down some. I agree Burroughs read is cool.

[MadamMina]

Yet again catsplay, you astound me with your wonderful videos. I think Closetland is one of, if not the best, performance Alan R. has ever given.

Thanks for making it!

[Mantooth101]

Yo put the embeded code on dude!!!!!!!!

[babbittd]

William S. Burroughs

[catsplay]

Yes, I stated that in the description of the video.

[Skoyer]

i am speachless

[Arcadiax91]

amazing! o.o

[ZoeBurton]

Awesome! Wonderful and amusing video n__n

[ruddyduck]

Wonderful work as usual, Catsplay. Amazing. Lovely editing, you really do take such time and effort to make it all perfect. Original song idea too. Thanks for sharing!
