@Rmott963 hey why dont you and your pussy friends here stop purposely disliking this music which is OBVIOUSLY good. Go listen to kesha or whatever that shit is that you listen to. k thanx.
I think it's about a "band" telling there friends that they're going to play a little down at the beach One half is like hell free show and the other half the of people scared like "wtf is this guy filming me for?" Then the band say its for a music video and its all good.. and they all get drunk and play around the bonfire.
Clearly what makes this song so special and good, are the lyrics which combined with the melancholy rhythm, hits you in the chest, you feel the song in your running trough your veins, feel the pain in the lyrics, but still, you love it, something that a few songs have the power to do.
What a song. Heard this at reading fest 2010 and the lead singers voice conveyed such passion and bitterness that I've been listening to this almost non stop. And that violen! Subtlety haunting. its just so so good.
Does anyone have seen a documentary film called "The Future is Unwritten" about Joe Strummer (the clash)? the end of this video is remembering me because of the people together around the fire...
I actually don't know how to say how much I love this song. And by saying this, I really mean it - it's so adorable, that special combination of the stunning lyrics and the melancholy (I don't know if you can say that in English) instruments.
Since I discovered this song at two o'clock or something, I think, I can't stop listening to it over and over again. It really is perfect without being perfect, if someone knows what I mean.
I think people need to see this from a deeper viewpoint. There are some (and some not-so) subtle undertones of anxiety throughout the whole video. The constant use of silhouettes in movement and weak illumination creates a parallel image to that of what would be a normal pop fashion party. Maybe we're just applying the logic of Scrotie McBoogerballs though; if there's any South Park fans who'll get it.
As much as I love LC! I can't agree with xXWeezerXx. Seems like they've pretty much had a day at the beach with someone filming it, and then put all the shots together to make it more fitting to the song. There are not specific lovers or anything, just them and some friends. You can tell because not any one of the band members are being mainly focused throughout the entire video.
There's not always good music videos, even for good music, but this one is wonderful, I didn't like the vid for Death to Los Campesinos! but loved the song, but this one I loved them both. My favorite Los Campesinos song, and favorite music vid!
This is my favorite video not only of campesinos but possibly of all. To me, the contrasts of this song / video perfectly portray the human condition.
There's the contrast between the pop music and brutally honest lyrics; then the contrast between the cheery party and the few shots of the people who seem disillusioned with the whole thing. Yet it all culminates in an overall hopeful feeling with the massive fire representing some basic, simple human fascination.
"contrast between the pop music and brutally honest lyrics" what does that even mean?
Like, I hear lyrics dealing with the death of a parent, eating disorders.. and I just see some generic teen beach party. I can understand some underlying issues with some individual(s). I really don't see the connection, I love this band I really do but this video just does not match the lyrics.
Let's be honest, low budget videos don't reflect the song content
@xXWeezerXx Wtf? "To me, the contrasts of this song / video perfectly portray the human condition." and "...simple human fascination."
You're overthinking it babe... it's a bunch of people at the beach. If anything it just "means" someone can look one way and on the inside feel and be different, but portraying "the human condition" What does that even mean? What condition? Life!? don't mean to sound attacking - but seriously? Reread your shit and think about if it makes sense.
@xXWeezerXx in what way could this be described as pop music? and there are hardly any "disillusioned" people. Perfectly portraying the human condition? pretentious silliness.
'mazing song though. not sure the video fits at all in my opinion but then, who cares. amazing songs are amazing songs.
@xXWeezerXx your talking about humans cuz surely you are not one of us... get out of here and try to look in smart in other planet...alien kid...¬¬ i mean... idiot.
I've never heard of this band - BUT THANK GOD I stumbed onto them! This song is mind blowing! Can you lot tell me other good songs by this band? Or are all their songs just as great as this one? x
Thanks Wolfgurl803 - The introduction of the song sound familiar and I like it. It's one of those marmite songs =/ I'll see how I feel about it in a couple of listens. x
Those are my favorites, but basically anything from the 'We are Beautiful, We are Doomed' album is really good. But, of course, they're all pretty much awesome.
My mom has just recently been diagnosed with something in the brain, they arent sure if its cancer or what it is.. this song is too easy to relate to ..
booked my KOKO ticket!!!!!!! yayayayay well exited will be my 3rd time seeing them.
first time i saw em there was about 30 of us in the audience second time about 10 of us lol and the Campesinos come and stood infront of me when another band was playing.....well wanted to jump on em!! :D
i have to say, thank you very much 'artscrafts'. ever since you have put this song up i have been loving it. it's the best song they have ever written. which i thought would be almost impossible.
there is nothing more refreshing in the world then being depressed then listening to this song. or when ever you listen to this you want to relax with your friends.
