If I over analyze this, is it saying war is only started once someone is hurt and it is suggested to be overly agressive. Otherwise, wouldn't the kids have just gone home. And then it's obviously the war was the suggesters fault that there was unjust conflict so he's hence punished by both parties involved. Eh?
@Raekott Never thought of it like that, theres another comment on here that explains that it may be how childhood can easily become corrupted. Music like this is the same as a theatre, you can always get a new experience from it.
@Raekott well and you've got to take into account that the 'suggester' is providing the weapons on both sides, so not only is he instigating a useless fight, he's fueling it.
even though then you have to figure that the kids were going to fight anyways. sure, it wouldn't have been with explosive presents, but it's not like corruption comes from a black pit, it comes from human nature, and will happen no matter what.
@tomithy1235 That's sad :( But what're we supposed to do, we were all told growing up, being savage is a bad thing. Corruption should be expect, if nothing else!
It looks like Glosoli because there are kids in it? Stylistically it's very different from the Glosoli video and it has a much different color palette.
saw efterklang live in l.a. (spaceland) about a month ago. one of the best shows i've ever seen. cannot say how pleasantly surprised i was. hope that they get around more often, as i've been plugging them to everyone i know.
bombs being thrown between two parties(cowboys & indians), supplied by the clown, eventually losing face, and being turned upon, i love it.
Hey, I was lucky enough to interview the band and to get to film the best of their new songs tuesday night in Montreal. Just write ' Les Oiseaux Exotiques Efterklang ' on google, you'll find it.
this song/band/album is so good that i had to watch the video 5 times to understand the theme of it (i mean, the song makes me travel by it self, and to a very further place)
the video is amazing, it helps to travel to a different place, the bombs, the clown, the kids. amazing.
I like the sound- the older boys being the "adults" of their respective societies, the younger boys being what I can imagine to be the innocents, the children or those not in a position of power in their countries. And then America, happy go-lucky and free wheeling, provides both sides with arms. The only thing that seems weird is that theory sort of trivializes the country's initial capacity to do damage to the other side. People have been killing fine for centuries without help or explosives.
Yeah, that's darn good video. Had to wait until the very end though to be sure whether it's that or pointless "deep thing." Music is not my taste, however.
