MOGWAI - Friend Of The Night

[NobukazuA]

これは美しすぎる！！ライブでは押し倒されました！＾＾＾

[onedorsfirew]

beautiful.

[Shpresa71]

Erlis .... this is as sick as you

lol

[MhicWombat]

Umm, like the imagery ... the music is kinda so-so, though. Nothing that hasn't really been done before dozens of times

[admiralzzyx]

I like the music quite a lot...the imagery is quite good too.

[metalgodDC]

melancholic? what is that? never heard of...

[KurtCocaineNevermind]

melancholic means "depressive"

[metalgodDC]

ah, thanks :)

[EMImadnessSmiths]

melancholic is from the greek word melancholia..

and means depressive..like KurtCocaineNevermind said before me...

[metalgodDC]

This song is so epic...

[HUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR]

sucky

[gshred]

all time favorite right here

[centrefugal]

freaking amazing music.

[asma88]

Right on!

[silviussab]

:-'|

[morbid81]

Amazing track. Watching them live is just so amazing!

[hevad]

--morbid81: "Watching them live is just so amazing"

It is SO, indeed. Did they close with "We're not here?"

[ophicinadeideias]

Christian Petermann diz: esse clip é espectral, uterino, sombrio, uau

o Lecka diz: nada como as definições d um crítico

[DaxaVr]

Great video, i feel like an immortal while i listen this. So fucking great. Thank u Mogwai!

[KoCoff]

I love this one.

[HorrorshowDevochka]

fucking brilliant video : )

[clocknose]

This song evokes happiness as well as sadness though they seem to fit together nicely. Great effort by a hugely underrated band.

*Smile...*

[FarewellWorld]

The best time to listen to this song is at night. It's quite beautiful.

[isolationeitheror]

I just uploaded superheroes of BMX,

check it out.

[cleon777]

this is really amazing!thanks for posting!!

[GPDOOM]

now i know where Chino Moreno/team sleep get their influence. good stsuff

[olll18]

just mood changing, emotion evoking, brilliance.

[thesilentcircus789]

This reminds me of a Tool video.

Pretty trippy, =]

[WormyBoySquigle]

Haha, funny, I was just now talking to my friend about how Mogwai sounds like a softer Tool.

[winniewang211]

great video~ I love this song

[Salvationlorn]

AWESOME! ....

just feel :)

[SoraSol7]

I'm not going to lie.

This video is creepy to the point where I actually feel sad.

[ThomasMahon]

perfect

[afterbabel]

does anyone know who created/directed this video? the rather spooky, blind path, in which a series of objects and wounded mannequins progressively lights up closely resembles german artist gregor schneider's interactive installations. a brilliant idea, anyway!

[cypisek74]

Woof Wan-Bau

[afterbabel]

thank you very much!

[Helikaon9]

this song makes me feel good every single time i listen to it

[Krzyhoo82]

Yeah!!!!! ;)

[isolationeitheror]

Super heroes of BMX is my favorite

[richiberlangas]

SO good

[neosturgeon]

Simply the best Mogwai's song ever

[CrazySkinsFan81]

This video is well done. At first view it's just a lot of strange imagery for the sake of being strange. But then I think of the title "Friend of the Night", and I begin to realize how closely dream can turn into nightmare, and back again, and how it's all random and familiar at the same time.

The song is beautiful. The chorus is dark and mysterious, and the chorus arrives melancholy, but with a sense of hope to the chords. Brilliant.

[iskierka1989]

i feel deeply moved by this song

[therealcord]

crazy fresh supa dark mega ill

[filipinasauce]

hahahahahhahaahah

[ihaveglassesnow]

i guess i just dont get these guys. all their songs sound like boring jams to me

[dLimboStick]

Then don't listen to them. Problem solved.

[heresmokethis]

Start with Young Team "Yes! I am a long way from home"...

I watched Madonna for 3 minutes at Coachella and then blew her off to go watch MOGWAI. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do.

[mr559]

I agree, but maybe it takes time to like these kind of music. Its not like we're used to hearing this kind of music, at least I'm not. But I'm listening, I like music that's fresh and different.

[filipinasauce]

so true

[222phobos]

sometimes is better to listen some songs more times.

and than you will see that you like it

play this song five times and you will miss it later.

[xKLiMA]

Im new to this kind of music, but this just blew me away

[parchy]

most of the top 40 crap that calls itself art needs to watch this, because they're doing a complete disservice to guys who are actually selling out to make cohesive, all-encomapassing artistic expression... like mogwai... every damn day.

this was, in a completely generic, inadequate word: brilliant. i'll be thinking about it for days.

[misfitm]

i love mogwai

i could listen to them forever

[sweetfranx]

this is a wonderful song!!!

[carriefuckingwickre]

uuugh, its so lovely. the time taken for it and everything.

[mikewhomikeyoung]

anyone know where to find the sheet music?

[D34TH30RY]

great piece of art amazing video and song, 5/5

[melonjuice10]

one of the most beautiful pieces ever!

[FubinhoFubu]

[nevesciueps]

Mockingtheweek:

The Evaptoria Report :)

all bands of post-rock genre! *_*

[ramonesaudibert]

stop it, kids! both mono and mogwai are awesome bands (although i prefer mono)!

[emexlondaxe78]

I don't care what people think, it is a good video and I like the song. Personally if you don't like it don't listen to it... quite simple really!

[jmonstuh]

i love this song, mogwai is so good.

[monesv]

mono indeed... as in monotone and boring

[johanthepirate]

Hell no. Mogwai is an amazing band.

[monesv]

Seriously, listen to it once more and tell me, what is so amazing about it? One drum, one piano, one drum, one piano.

[johanthepirate]

3 guitars...

But still, if this isn't good, what do you consider amazing?

[monesv]

I asked you a question, and you for some reason chose to evade it.. it's monotone and every garage-band with semi-decent equipment could pull it off, you know it.

[johanthepirate]

I guess if you don't like it, don't listen to it. I'm not going to force you to like it.

Btw, nice hypocrisy with the question evasion.

[OrigProdigy]

speaking of monotony... how about your stupid rantings about what's good and what isn't? guess what, you and johan both fail for arguing over personal opinion.

[DaronDav]

not completly different for me. Wath the video:

mogwai-summer (live france 1998)

[bcasey63]

Up there with my all-time fave Mogwai songs. Awesome.

[lostaddict12]

whooaaa...very pleasant listening...soothing.

[Wacek4444]

W.O.W.

This video is a fucking masterpiece. Brilliant, inspiring, breathtaking. Anybody knows who did it? He deserves all the money he can get for this.

It's my first time listening to Mogwai and I have to admit the Scotts are great

[DaronDav]

jesusninjapants try sonic youth!!!!

[spudede]

he said "mogwai"..

Sonic Youth are completly different sir.

[DaronDav]

not completly different for me. Watch the video:

mogwai-summer (live france 1998)

[xhyperballadx]

[mastersleigh]

Mogwai have done some truly beautiful music..... I remember Reading festival 2001, Mogwai were playing, I staggered into the their tent late at night, trashed on vodka, I remember being transfixed, ahh happy memories, every music fan should go to a festival at least once

[Hoytlegend]

Mogwai is Chinese for changeling.

[jackal2071]

Where do these dudes get their moniker from?

Music Of Gods Wanking In August!

[ZLKeeper]

except that it's MOGWAI, not MOGWIA

[APAKane]

it's some kind of gremlin or some shit; google it.

[sestsa]

In the movie Gremlins, the creatures are called Mogwai. It's like the name of a ancient Chinese creature of folklore or something.

[fabstervroom]

wow......

[laurorla]

Great melody and great video! Go to see even SCAT 90/00, really interesting!

[elbuhoarnau]

Mr. Beast (2006)

[natfairy1]

what album is this from?

[domyrc]

GRANDI

MoGwai

[stonedzeppelin]

they are great!!! Critics call this music "post-rock", but i think dream rock would fit better...thanks mogwai...

[RPMARDEE]

Its funny this video propably coast a fraction of the big budget music videos out there......but this one is so much better...love it!

[twilightnekochan]

This is the soundtrack to my dreams

[onedeafear]

Mogwai-by-numbers. They've started repeating themselves - hope it doesn't last.

[ToBeGoneX]

this is so "dreamy."

[paisted85]

awesome drum sound

[hiimhereforhotties]

this song is fucking amazing...anybody who doesn't appreciate the instrumentals of this song needs to have their head checked

[dmstn]

amazing song.

amazing band.

[Mariette]

Am I dreaming???

[mariannapetr]

so f****** good

like a dream...

[rosolek94]

I love this piece! Mogwai is brilliant music group

[wowdudethatsawesome1]

tic-tacs,string,hot broad,dirt,dude with sweet jugs, a shit load of onions, and my mind blown.

dude that IS awesome.

[weaselidiotu]

i saw ths while tripping on acid. i was there!!

[muzulmanin89]

I see a BOY... only once... my friend of the Night

[mwright165]

legend that is mogwai

[mycatbobeatspeas]

One of my friends introduced me to Mogwai and I gotta say my music library was missing something before I found them.They are amazing and this song is brilliant. Definately one of my favorites.

Beautiful film clip too. Do you think it's just a random dream type sequence? or that there is a story...for some reason I get the impression its about the lifecycle and aging?

[DieNathy]

what a video...wonderful

[RedFridge]

Just saw them last night. I highly recommend you drag your ass to a show.

Jaw dropping delight....a crowd in shock...fidelity at it's finest.

[vitorisrael]

Type music is post rock

[FarewellWorld]

This definitely is a good song to listen to at night.

[DarkRagnarok8]

This music entirely instrumental so it requires people to listen. Which for those who only like music for face value, probably won't like this. This music is subtle in nature but well done.

[angerpainhappy]

really a great melancholic and calming song. I always listen to this late at night, perfect song for thinking.

i got a question: is moguai the same band as mogwai or not?

[snugglepuggle]

nope

[9Bman0]

Is there such a band that is named so?

I would think it was someone who spelled the name of the band wrong

[oodatoodat]

it's some shitty dance act

[interpolluter29]

There is Mogwai, this band, and Moguai actually sounds like a dance act best known for their honestly more-irritating-than-sexy "Sex Secret". There is your answer.

[aytorou]

That type of music is?

thanks

[snugglepuggle]

post rock, art rock, rock.

[Robomansk8]

Generally they are regarded as post rock yeah, although I heard somewhere that the band themselves hate being tagged as post rock. Like sigur ros, they are their own style.

Doesn't really matter, they are awesome either way. They know how to be subtle and when to break out. So hoping that the next album brings a tour where they somehow end up in Australia so I can see them live.

[troopertim]

atp australia in jan 2009 apparently

[Robomansk8]

Really? I wasn't even able to find a line-up list for that yet. Would be mad though being on Buller.

[doomreaperambient]

fucking great experience like you said chill out moments and breaking experiences

[Inyade]

Alt Roch, maybe prog or symphonic

[arcaneboy]

Guess I need to be on drugs to appreciate this band's work because I don't find any of the songs interesting.

[TheGreatKrystoff]

you might arcaneboy, but if you ARE on drugs HOLY SHIT

[fanunoflamencomex]

Aquí toy gabrihola-hola!!! Es el único comment en spagnyó-le óle!!! Bajo este nombre estoy!!! y siempre digo esto:!!! es un género altamente incomprendido por las masas!!! A lo único que se asemeja esta pieza instrumental con el flamenco!!! Es al mero estilo del nouveau-flamenco de ottmar liebert!!! Suena al mismo estilo!!! nomás que aquí a piano y allá a guitarra!!! es todo!!! bye gabriholita!!!

[Kurosaki442]

good song and cool video. But i don't get what the imagery means exactly so if some one knows please tell me.

[musak6969]

something about tears, the cutting onions and the thing going from her eyes look like tears.

[kaltundstill]

Fucking perfect writing music.

[hollygoesmoo]

yeah i agree, it could be inspiration for any situation.

[graeme6630]

Great band, and beautiful music video to match an equally beautiful and relaxing piece of music. What more can I say?

Mogwai are one of the best, if not thee best, band to ever come out of Scotland. They've been making real music since 1995 and have never sold-out to the mainstream, not that that I think they ever will anytime soon.

Oh and, by the way, Mogwai's new studio album, The Hawk Is Howling set for release on September 22nd 2008. Can't wait!!

[zetonazo]

mogwai is good but sigur ros is better

[p3st0lino]

Yaeh blah and blarg. Nobody cares about your point of view you worthless dipshit. Argueing about wich band is better is like running at the paralympics, even if your win your still retarted. So keep your worthless opinion to your self fuckhead.

[bren101288]

lol dude your comment made me laugh.

you have a point. but its funny in a sick way.

[humangrenade]

Rage about ur fav band.  ty

[grasking]

So when are you running in the Special Olympics?

[22dickinson]

(almost)nothing compares to mogwai.-

[lemaster092]

why is everyone giving this guy shit?

i agree sigur ros is better

mogwai is a very talented band too

much better than the shit that most ppl listen too today

[sophiepp87]

everyone can say whatever he wants,unless he insults you.he just said his opinion.

p3st0lino,come on dude :)

by the way,I adore mogwai...they "travel" me and they make me to dream...powerfull songs,full of feelings

[nirvana505primus]

Thanks y'all

[michellekara]

great song, great filmclip

[Guitardreams182]

i liked very much this band, don know wheree are thy from, history...nothing, but i love this music.

bye, from chile.

[ifu06572]

they are from scoland- glasgow i think- one member lives in the clyde valley

[1916csc]

they are from glasgow my friend

[Dharmonium]

Elsiane and Mogwai are my favourites bands at this moment!their music are so emotional and powerful! I love them! Please check it out Elsiane's videos. You can watch them in youtube too...i think you will appreciate! cheers from Portugal

[leapyearastronaut]

haha! CREED! HAHA! I hope that was sarcasm.

-Leap Year Astronaut

[MONTHEJIMMER]

This song is amazing, its even better live. Creed!!! Um.... NO!!!!!:)

[Lastlife43]

im a big explosions in the sky fan, and a friend recommended me to Mogwai...and a pretty good recommendation too :P

Videos r a bit eccentric on it, but the music is amazing :D
