Joy Electric - Red Will Dye These Snows of Silver

[afroboey]

the girl in this video is my sister's friend Sarah :D

[Evanthing16]

I'm looking for 1234!!!!!

[Dust9951]

Damn that little part at like 11 seconds reminds me of Electric Feel by MGMT. Love it

[Quixomo]

I miss Joy Electric.

[MeMakeTitanGoBomb]

Joy Electric played at my house when I was 4.

[takato123bam]

I thought i was the only one.... lol

[ishower5timesaday]

where are the candy canes?????

[royalbleu5]

A real inspiration

[BangBangCoconut]

Best JE song ever :D

And consequently the only good video he's ever done :O

[OKrepresent]

LOVE THIS!!!! It's as if Ministry (circa-"Halloween") married Clan of Xymox, with the most beautiful chorus!

[jjb251]

This guy really deserves to be more popular than he already is. his music is so awesome.

[seifukusha]

human league;d

[royalbleu5]

I'd like to see Joy Electric Live in Austin TX. Great song & video... Still listen to We are the music makers

[enigma0Z]

Love this video. The story the video tells isn't at all the story I hear in the music though.

[WMPreacher]

The Memory of Alpha (second half of the album) is about the time before the Flood. The Memory of Alpha track is about the expulsion from the Garden. Red Will Dye These Snows of Silver is about the story of Cain and Abel and how Abel's blood has stained history. I think this video centers on Abel and Eve and how his murder separated them. Just my guess.

WATMM will always be a fav album, but Otherly Opus is so well crafted it maybe my fav JE release.

[midimachine]

oh man, that low vocal part is so depeche mode. great track here!

[seifukusha]

@midimachine actually, its Human League. early Phil Oakey..

[samkinkel]

Forgot about this vid!

Love Joy Electric, they're awexome! Thanks for posting :D

[jesusloveshxc]

@samkinkel No they. Just he. Ronnie Martin.

[samkinkel]

@jesusloveshxc Well, if you go to their myspace there's a girl in their picture. And I'm sure that he has other people do stuff with him :P

[samkinkel]

@jesusloveshxc love your username btw :D

[apollothemighty]

Where does one have to go to find people who look the people in this video? Germany? One of those cold Nordic countries? Southern Cali? Wherever it is I'm moving there.

[kanookle]

I know the chic in the video, shes from Long Island. SOOO NOT GERMAN. Total New Yorker.

[apollothemighty]

Oh, don't tell me that! I can't afford NY. Too bad...

[Treviabot92]

Looks like South Cali, but I wouldn't suggest moving there; the money needed to live here is ridiculously high, perhaps second to that of Alaska.

[apollothemighty]

So I have heard. That's why I'm going to ABQ, New Mexico. Low cost of living + strong economy + better then Baton Rouge = I'm going there.

[sakr2088]

@Treviabot92 new york city and prospect park / fort green in brooklyn.

[sakr2088]

@Treviabot92 it's new york city and brooklyn

[mrneccos]

saw them three times in concert...those were some of the best shows

LOVE THIS VID !!! =D

[TheVelcroLeaves]

By far--JE's best video. Just so nicely executed. The visual imagery perfectly fits his lyricism.

[Daryious]

I heard this from Deutsche Welle TV's "Strictly Global" and I LOVE IT!

[thistleflowers]

Im so hooked on this song!! <3

[OnlyMusic16]

LOVE this song!

I love the weird video as well.

Anyone point me to where i can get this download? (for free that is)

[charliewecker]

fucking dance party!

[catzblu999]

This song sounds so 80s

[sakr2088]

This really is the actual video for "Red Will Dye," though Ronnie was not involved in it aside from his music track being laid down with the video. The video also aired in select American Eagle retail stores.

[1ongee]

Silver Silver Silver Silver xD

I love this song.

[fnkyflo]

Can someone post the lyrics please.

[mshelton0222]

I <3 Joy Electric!!! Would love to see Family Force 5, Rootbeer, and Joy Electric go on Tour! I would quit my job, live off the Taco Bell value menu, and catch every show :D

[avaluvr1]

this song is amazing. i cant get it off my mind. i love it with a burning passion

[natlinxz]

my new favourite song!

[seifukusha]

i also like his human league-esque stuff best

rainbow rider was also fab

[Freedomcall82]

I agree with phrog I am a huge fan of JE and I really like ronnie martin's music. I think he should be doing synth pop for the rest of his life.

[acousticmenace]

I'm sorry everybody but this must be said. This man is no genious. You know who was brilliant? Classical like, bach and Beethoven. then there is a hand full of bands today like pearljam and faunts.But this is no where near anything.. I can't believe it but this mght be one of his better.. "songs". Every video i see i can't help but laugh. Cause all this is a joke. It has to be. If this music is meant to be serious i seriously question where music is heading.Children of the lord was thelast straw

[THExNEKOxCHAN]

And you have a right to think that. But you do realize that music, like everything else in this entire existence, is in the eye of the beholder, right? Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean no one else does. Some of us are pleased to hear different sounds, and your examples wouldn't please everyone either. So show a little respect, hm?

[andthedarkrose]

Pearl Jam? Really? I like Pearl Jam, but just because you like them doesn't make them geniuses. And just because you don't like Joy Electric doesn't mean they're bad. Pull your head out of your ass.

[wefollowedtigers]

joy electric inspires me more than anything else i've ever known, and that's to put it simply. to call him a genius would be an understatement in the sense that there are many 'geniuses' out there. and you're right. "this is no where near anything." because this is amazingly different from everything.

[wonkothesane1986]

This is the SECOND good JE video in ten years. "Children of the Lord" was 90's-riffic!

[LifeHasDarkndMyHeart]

I found this video playing on some Christian music channel.

[madkman18]

Yeah that was probably TVU channel 189 on horrizon

[darknezzrulezall]

Is there a download link to this song, i cant find it anywhere?..help me out plez.Thnx

[rollx2015]

When I first heard this on TVU, I was like WTF ? hilarious!

[TheHiltonProject]

Awesome Song

I could listen to this all day long without stopping ^_^

[phrog1337]

I've always refused to listen to this band until tonight. This dude is a genius.  God really gave this dude a gift.

[Hesthewizeguy]

I love how none of my friends get this guy. I can't honestly name one other person I know who likes this music, but I could name a ton who know they hate that weird techno I play in my car. I could listen to it for hours! Ronnie's such a genious

[PantherFox]

@Hesthewizeguy

actually this is shit and you have no taste in music.

sorry bro

[Hesthewizeguy]

@PantherFox cool!

[ffrancises]

@Hesthewizeguy You Know me lol

[woogiepooh1995]

silver silver silver silver oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[blackline84]

someone please put up "Post Calendar" song on youtube

[LittleSong88]

ive ALWAYS loved this song!

[tronprogram]

Probably my favorite music video.

END OF LINE.

[Pettos91]

Good song! does the *robotdance* while praising God.

[PLASMAchan]

im not a christian but i did like this song!

[frankobsessed1994]

ditto

[pimaggot]

LAME- great song - crappy video- I want monosynth back!!! great song with a music video that really pushed the envelope about what is acceptable by the anti-gay fundamentalist "church"

[shadowwblad]

why is that guy following that girl? and yes i am an idiet when it comes to stuff like this

[AdamBoy64]

To be honest, I think all JE videos are pretty poor. Ronnie just can't do videos well. Monosynth was an exception.

Ronnie should outsource his videos more, or, if he already does, outsource them to someone good.

[jjmini]

That would make sense, but from what I recall, ronnie hasnt been involved with a joy electric video in almost ten years.

[Joey2426]

I arrived to hear the earth unleash its cries A guilty hand The fruit of past fracturings First to be of many future histories From suffered birth Now red will dye these snows of silver Red will dye these snows of silver Famous by the mark inflicted on your life The generations find new use for your crime On green hills an angel guards a bleak reminder For all time

[Joey2426]

The lyrics

[saigeyurpoo]

that cleared a lot of things up for me...my sisters and I saw this on a christian tv station and we made a game of quessing what they were saying...we guessed "simbaahhh"(idk why), "silvaaaahhh", and it was indeed "silver".

[frankobsessed1994]

was it called TVU? thats where i saw this and ive loved it ever since

i dont watch TVU much anymore so i dont really know any of the songs but a few months ago i knew all the songs on there and loved them

[modulemodule]

ive been with JE since day 1, and this is the worst music video by JE

[AdamBoy64]

Yes, as painful as it is to say, I agree. I often don't watch the music videos, a lot of them ruin the great songs behind them.

[dustthouart]

Why isn't Ronnie in the video?

Not that I have a crush on him or anything. Why would you ask that? *whistles*

[sh0kr0k]

Is this REALLY the video for a Joy Electric song? I mean, THEE Joy Electric, right? *lol* This is just so different from the things I like about them that I dare say this is completely off my radar. Never thought in a million years I would say that about JE, and it's a beautiful video, but just destroyed the whole vibe the song gives me. :-\ Thanks for uploading though - first time I've seen this!

[TheCovenantProgress]

"Song For All Time" was a good video. The rest were pretty bad though.

[beccabarlow]

beautiful.

[flyonawndshield]

I still think that Burgundy Years is a hilarious and awesome music video, no matter what you people say!

[sixtyfrikinfour]

whoever doesn't like techno is EVIL!!!

[vectorworkz1337]

This isn't techno.

[explodyhead]

wow....you are a REAL music aficionado

[seshoki]

well its not

[explodyhead]

That comment was actually directed at the techno guy, not vector.

I was agreeing w/ vector, and my sarcasm attack was at sixttfrikenfour, my comment just displayed wrong.

[Gauruwolf]

@sixtyfrikinfour lol....and this says a guy who dont even know something about electronic musicgenres....this is synthpop, 80s.... or at least something in this genre....and not techno ;)

[ihaveaverybadcold]

@sixtyfrikinfour i love joy electric....i HATE techno!!!

[woogiepooh1995]

@sixtyfrikinfour its like popsyth or something

[azotus]

Great video, but someone filmed it for the wrong song! LOLz!

[atomictraveller]

she represents introspection.

[RoboMaster1]

One word... Nice.

-Robo

[mrynit]

very not like the other videos.

[iwik12]

hi there, i just want you all to know that i really like this amazing song!

take care!

[atomictraveller]

red = 'read,'

'snows of silver' = destructive consumerism

[xRoYaLxArChErx]

i luv dis song, a good music vid too

[WMP78]

I've been a big fan of Ronnie for years, used to have "Jesus" by Dance House Children and I still have "We Are Music Makers" on casette...it's amazing how his sound has evolved and matured since "Melody" in 1994. JE 4 Life

[jaimelefrancais]

i think its kinda about adam and eve. if u look at the lyrics it makes sense

[sedintwins2233]

I read on JE's message board that this song is about Cain and Abel. Could be wrong though.

[Jumper901]

i really dont get the title of the song its just...well different.... it doesnt make any sense red will dye.... ooooo i get it now moment of realization there it must mean blood.

[TurkBack]

LOL This music is horrible!

[hadassah179]

He should do a couple more videos! I'd luv to see him expand is imagination in this part of his art.

[derManeken]

I`ve thought that her boyfriend is dead, and she walks around some places that remindes her of him. and his ghost walks with her. sad story seems to me(

[MidnightStar753]

Oh Yeah!!! i luv this songg awesome!

[fumes6]

I'm not sure if I really understand the storyline here, other than that they are sad and the relationship they had doesn't seem to have worked out. Any explanations? Does anyone know what the locket stands for?

[vectorworkz1337]

I think he's dead and she can't see him.

[StonemetalGryphon]

I think it's supposed to be a love story that reaches through parallel universes. One of them only exists in one, and the other only exists in a different one.

[NEchargerunner]

@fumes6 After reading the lyrics I think the song is about the animosity between Adam (men) and Eve (women) after the fall.

[TimothyBIinks]

@NEchargerunner

Yeah, I agree... just having a hard time connecting that to the storyline of the video. Well, whatever, the video looks great and the music sounds great...

[TheManOnTheMoon19]

@fumes6 he's just really fucking dead is all.

[lyteshadow]

great vid, but it seems quite a few people miss the fact that most of JE's videos are brilliant...

[derManeken]

wow. very impressive

[ryuslayer]

woot! \o.o/

I would really want to see memory of Alpha as a vid. too. That'd be interesting. Maybe I should ask him if he will do that. :D

[shobie138]

this is joy electric's best video! the other ones just tend to make me laugh.

[Rawk4Life]

That's probably because this is the first JE video to have a real concept. I am not sure if vids like Burgandy Years, Quite Quieter than Spiders, or Monosynth were meant to make sense or not.

[BlueManIan]

Well, Children of the Lord didn't make any sense either. But it was fun to watch. ^^

[Rawk4Life]

Very true. At other times it's better to know the message being delivered if the music video itself becomes incomprehendable.

[seifukusha]

finally...

[aerialrose]

Awesome. The best vid of JE I've seen so far.
