A Perfect Circle - Blue (Official)

[kyvalion1]

exelente musica



[abigailmartin17]

Yeah, I saw a better fan video than this one for the contest... I wonder why this one was picked? It just doesn't FEEL right for the song... Not what I would have pictured for this song at all.... Oh well..

[Milos6972]

New mix Vol.6-Dj Shomy ★2012★

[christco120]

This is a great song, but the video is a giant turd. I feel sorry for whoever made it. What a colossal waste of time. You could have spent the time you wasted making this piece of crap learning to do something useful, like cooking for one, or maybe just enjoyed a good book. Anything would have been better.

[111kitn111]

1- drop acid

2-get black light

3-get kalidascope

4-hold kalidascope up 2 black light and turn turn turn

[SaichiFTW]

I find this song so strong and dark, yet kinda sad...

[XDsusieXD]

[AnthonyMallaboro]

[themanrocker6464]

Offical?! thats a load of crap!



[JoeSeena]

this video was made years ago. im glad to see the teenagers are finally discovering a perfect circle.

[kgal4786]

i did want to know :S lol param pshhh! ^_^

[snip3rj0e]

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL VIDEO. APC held a contest to create an amateur music video for this song, and they picked this video as the winner and made it their official video for the song.

[rmc52482]

@snip3rj0e

That is correct sir, I have the DVD of all the videos and they explain just what he said.

[zion2train]

i thought it was the official vid, thts fkd

[cynicdesign]

Putting "official" in the title is fucking lame dude.

[LadyJay96]

This video is jus sad she must really miss him

[payne2121]

this video was released on a dvd they released

[Atreyu4551]

im so sick of people making videos and saying there official. if there not made by the band dont put FUCKING official on it.

[TheSageCommander]

@Atreyu4551 It is the official video. And yes the vidoe is made by people. lol

[webbyter]

Troooooly f**k'd ♂

[AdyCubamy]

there're 2 options for a video ! both are macnifique!

[sk8swmangos]

I thought this song was about choking a bitch..??

[XiumHD]

God i luv this song

[troycollins80]

if i was dead i could still get up for her. ok maybe not. just give her some meds she will be ok.

[troycollins80]

if i was dead i could still get up for her.

[terrorrdactilo]

this is official 3====D

[Liamandrewmusic]

Hey guys! Hate doin this, but don't think maynard/god would mind. Spreading the my word in the modern way! If anyone has the patience and time to check out my debut demo then please feel free to pop by, comment if ya like, love any feedback! Appreciate the support and time. Have an amazing life everyone! Peace - Liam

[batmannrobbie]

@Liamandrewmusic- I checked out your tune and it's not really my cup of tea..... it sounded ok for whatever you call that kind of music.... and I can tell that Maynard has influenced your vocals.... but, don't forget that Maynard is successful because his voice inflections have purpose.... too much repetition in the songs structure..... and this tune is absolutely crying for drums..... red waters....

[Liamandrewmusic]

@batmannrobbie Hey bat! Thanks alot for checking it out and bigger thanks for the honest feedback! means alot and I've actually missed criticism. Aye, "You'll know" is the "catchy" song out of the 4. If you haven't listened already, I think you'd much much prefer my song "view". It's my personal fave and is a tad darker if thats how you like you tea. And I know! i was concidering drums, but my "producer" ended up callin the shots and saying keep that 1 song simple. An acoustic sing-along type.

[Liamandrewmusic]

@Liamandrewmusic But yeah, again. thanks alot dude :) take care!

[damnlogin]

WTF is up with this vid? Is he dead? Song is awesome but wtf.....

[SpunkySkunk347]

i like the video, just not the first minute and a half of it

[Allifuck]

Me encanta C:

[sexylenny8]

Everytime that silvermaskman makes a video, God cries

[kadenakore]

lo extraño es ke esta musica me ayudó a pasa terrible noches de trabajo

[Veliccia]

This IS the official video because it won the competition. Maynard had a competition from what i remember and finalist were chosen and then this video was picked from that. I saw the other videos, there was only one other that even came close to this one but this was by far the best choice.

[btener11]

1:00 -- that's not how you dig a shallow grave!

[xBAMFxMonatage]

Youre all talking shit on the video, why dont you actually talk about the song. Its about a person missing someone in their life and not being able to admit theyre gone.

[metelmania911]

@xBAMFxMonatage

It also could be about people addicted to drugs, but are in complete denial. Maynards songs are about anything you want there isn't just one theme.

[finalgurumode]

love it:)

[Raflegan]

Call an optometrists her eyes are blue.

[skypup77]

there's no way this as official video, this video sucks shit.

[dennislutyens]

@skypup77 If i remember correctly, APC held a fan made video contest & the winner of it they used as the official video.

[caylaria]

this song sucks, so does maynard and all of tool/APC/puscifer

[punkbeech2008]

@caylaria Obvious troll is obvious.

[shitheadiamyodaiamno]

@caylaria to each his own.

[livevil223]

they all turn blue in the in and idont want to know

[MrRaphassauro]

official MY ASS

[blastoid22]

@MrRaphassauro

my official assbook page

[lunoco]

@MrRaphassauro jajajajajajajajajajajaja mine too...

[corey388]

@MrRaphassauro  <hahahahaha

[MelonCiego]

@MrRaphassauro A video was made for the song, not by the band, but as the result of a fan-video contest. The video portrays a woman who cannot seem to acknowledge her husband's death. The winner, along with three runners-up, are all watchable on the aMOTION DVD.

[midflder92]

@MrRaphassauro APC had a contest and this video was the winner

[julitro2369]

@MrRaphassauro This is the official video, you can find it on the Amotion DVD. The video was chosen through a fan contest, and this is the one that won mate! Sorry :/

[MrRaphassauro]

@julitro2369 ooohhhh f*ck me, rly? Well, I guess I feel sorry for the others cuz if THAT vid got high score, hummmmmmm, ahhh, forget it. Thanks for the feedback anyway =)

[Drazeroth100]

@MrRaphassauro Because of what Julitro already explained.

[Drazeroth100]

@MrRaphassauro You're stupid.

[MrRaphassauro]

@Drazeroth100 why?

[dwest292]

@MrRaphassauro It's official, just a fan made video APC picked as the winner for the music video contest they held, it is pretty horrid tho, dont how they won...

[dwest292]

@MrRaphassauro its on APC's DVD

[1599Bob1599]

Fuck yea Perfect Circle! This my shit!

[rainethesage]

At 0:33, that weird chick looks like Ozzy Osbourne.

[Refizmm]

Why must life be full of grief?? Why does life have to be so short? What is the reason for all of this pain? suffering?....Are our emotions fueling some sort of being? Fuck LIFE. IT'S A FUCKING ILLUSION. ignore the smoke, look through the clouds my friends. Life is just a metaphor, just like god. A fucking metaphor. All we want are answers! But we know we don't always get what we want. She's turning blue now, such a lovely color for you.

Life.....I just sit...and stare at you as my clock ticks.

[TheWoodencrow]

@Refizmm everybody asks these questions, usually during the teenage years. They either look for answers or they distract themselves. The reality is that these things don't have clear cut answers that apply to every unique human's perspectives. You have to figure out your own answers. It's part of growing up. Don't worry, it gets better once you figure out what's really important.

[Locrian4]

@Refizmm So the peace is in the questioning. Let us question, then, my friend.

[420darklotus]

@Refizmm To the first question, I'm told that a Theist can answer that with a book of some sorts........to the rest, collectively, it's 46 and 2. Hope this helps.

[HarmlessSharpThingCo]

@Refizmm Please destroy your keyboard or computer and don't buy another one.

[Chrystalpool]

Um... Since when was this official?

[JarleyBox]

@Chrystalpool

Since it won the contest.

[stairwaygoddess]

"Oh shit! He's dead!"

[Joefitpro]

This shit was tight

[DevinKnows]

bluuuuuuuuuue.

[rodneyk]

my hands smell like airdrumsticks

[DevinKnows]

this song has such a sexual and emotionalizing feeling to it,,

[57badarse]

@DevinKnows It is a very sensual song. maynard is a master writer and composer.

[Arclite18]

WTF SOUP?!

[MCMANUSJS99]

is this the video for Weekend at Bernies 3?

[twistedtransistor232]

personally, i think Tool is better. but Maynard is a genius no matter what. he couldnt make a bad song if he TRIED.

[xH4x00rzx]

@twistedtransistor232 Tool is fucking amazing but like apc just has this appeal to it like i really cant get enough i love tool but i just gotta love apc a little more.

[Voonstai]

@xH4x00rzx As long as your showing Keenan some love. ; )

[DevinKnows]

im in love with this song.

[MenkeEntertainment]

if you wanted to fuck that bad...you could have hit me up...

[Dom666Tyler]

Maynard iz a Genious. Nuf sed.

[Alterbridge321]

@Dom666Tyler Learn how to spell.

[TheSageCommander]

@Alterbridge321 dnbghasshb,,mfaceos.bholem, ghr ;ughwghlol

[TASDisBACK]

yeah if she keeps that corpse any longer, its gonna stink up her house horribly

[gravityaddikt]

couldnt they have put a beatiful woman in a tub with candles lit after her and her b/f had a fight and he magically found her afterwards? maybe hes the firefighter that found her??I thought maybe he was strangling her after a violent fight and maybe fire got started in the process... AND HES' TRYING TO BE POSITIVE!? and they didn't need that kind of help but its too late now.. but he could use something to that effect now...

[starr613]

amazing song, creepy vid though

[MenkeEntertainment]

for a dead uy he can sure sit up stright. we can take a lesson

[MenkeEntertainment]

i would have fucked her......but after fuckin a dead dude... ill pass

[AintheUK]

I feel like maynard has had a lot of fucked up shrooms trips

[sunsett008]

@AintheUK probs but he's also awakening

[Scymon04]

OPEN YOUR EYES DAMMIT!! I hate to wait for it to happen!!!@#$!@#$

[Joanna5757]

Bill W can kiss my ass!

[OnlyTheTyrant]

Traumweltleben. Cielo azul.

[yoyobunny13]

Maynard is a lyrical genius!

[KaninchenSama]

@VANDERSAR66 A mí si me gustó :I le da un asunto... original.

[VANDERSAR66]

yo me imagine UN MILLON DE VIDEOS DIFERENTES PARA ESTA CANCION!!!!!

por que la cagan!!!!!!!!

TT.TT

esta cancio se me hacia algo mas de amor o de que no importaba lo demas mas que esa persona....

pero NECROFILIA??? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

[clutch10001]

@VANDERSAR66 ummm what?

[OscarCruzOfficial]

@VANDERSAR66 Si "BlancaNieves" se murio y el principe beso su cadaver siendo una pelicula para niños... Porque Maynard no puede poner necrofilos? xD

[julianwicker]

the whole time i thought he was gonna open his eyes lol

[parafluxuation]

The narrator is clearly portraying a personality that is in self-denial, one that avoids issues entirely. Closing of eyes, ignoring smoke (repeated, just to drive the point home). Where there's smoke there's fire, but the narrator is still avoiding the issue because they don't want to face it. "Call an optimist, she's turning blue" is a call for false optimism in the face of death itself. The issues are killing the narrator but they're still intent on avoiding them.

[MoeZeppelin]

@parafluxuation i just didn't want to know....lol :-)

[sshawndall]

@parafluxuation... your a complete jackass.. narrator? how about james maynard keenan?? shut the fuck up doucher

[pongoalejo]

@sshawndall how old are you? oO

[WeedVulva]

@parafluxuation dont over-analyze it its just about an ex girlfriend addicted to pills

[KSRobertstad]

@WeedVulva no it's not...

[thebuddahmain]

@parafluxuation actually there's an interview. this song is about his mother and the denial and other issue's he had with her.

[djbungo]

@parafluxuation i'd be careful of saying anything like "clearly" to any lyrics written by Maynard, he's been asked about song meanings before and admits himself they normally don't have specific meanings and are designed to be interpreted by the individual :)

[calzone2112]

@parafluxuation The problem the narrator is ignoring is the heroin problem which helps perfect the denial. You hit it on the head though!!! absolutely!!! NICE

[MegaBrokenpencil]

@parafluxuation You are everything thats wrong w youtube. Maynard hates you

[parafluxuation]

@MegaBrokenpencil you mad bro

[TOTTProductions]

I always assumed it was about one half of a relationship dying from drug abuse while the other half tries to ignore it. It explains the lyrics 'I didn't want to know' 'she's turning blue' and 'ignore the smoke'. It also explains why it has such a chilled tone, it sybolizes the numbness that the couple feel. Just my interpretation though.

[tylersloeper]

Amazing song, amazingly low budget video.

[Scratch5591]

@tylersloeper its cause they let their fans make the videos for the song and then vote on the videos and this one won

[lazyguy1393]

Eh. This stuff is not much to talk of when comparing it to Tool. So far, I'm not really liking it; most of the songs sound exactly alike, in structure especially.

But maybe I'm just comparing it TOO much with Tool. I really like The Noose, and I have only listened to four songs, so hopefully I'll get into it more as I keep listening.

I really do want to like APC. It's quite relaxing as far as I can tell :)

[nihilofilia]

@lazyguy1393 It's very relaxing indeed. Although Tool is my number one band ever -I mean definitly not comparable- APC is a really good listening to chill out to. Kinda "new age" version of Maynard :-)

[nihilofilia]

@lazyguy1393 ok, don't take the "new age" too seriously. I mean it's just relaxing and not as vigorous as Tool. And btw The Noose is great. Listen to Gravity and Orestes. Just sayin'...

[mQtek]

She's a black widow and killed her husband.

[CowboyFromHell1988]

Call an optimist... She's turning blue...

[legomania1999]

not the offical...

[lmt61251]

When we're all just memories, will any of this matter?

[uscomputing]

I hate the fact that a color is coded.

[briangunn21]

too pixely

[Anarchy1144]

That would smell bad

[JudoinKC]

It was already said that this song is about a person's slow decay and death due to drug use and looking on the bright side of it (thus the line "called an optimist, she's turning blue such a lovely color for you") and since it also says "ignore the smoke" I would assume it was meth (though the type of drug was never specified Maynard IS himself, and has been surrounded with drug addicts, meth included) because most other over dosing drugs are typically snorted or injected (heroin or cocaine)

[TheEternalGenocide]

@JudoinKC the line isnt "called an optimist" its "call it aftermath"...

[JudoinKC]

@TheEternalGenocide I think you are miss informed the CD I have says that it is called an optimist

[JudoinKC]

@TheEternalGenocide lol you are an idiot go to the A Perfect Circle website and check on that cuz you're wrong

[AstralCricket]

The color blue USED to mean healing.......now it means death. That is what this means. Look at your world flags and which one is mostly blue......digging graves?

The planet comes full circle. This song is so painfully obvious. It has no riddles.

[suckitup1983]

anyways i give up on insulting this band... it's not worth listening to... i still like speed walking with tool on my headphones.... not sleepy stuff like this. i have to get used to the fact that people are losing good taste in music. keep on listening to your elevator perfect circle music.... i'll just fall asleep listening to more of it. it's just aweful. i can't believe others don't agree with me. wtf happened to everybody. oh well. i can't force anyone into getting good taste. sad though.

[dirtymustardcake]

@suckitup1983 Tool is great; I'm not really a fan of A Perfect Circle but unlike you it's not the bane of my existence. To each his own, man...

You can't get mad at people for liking something you don't, that's...juvenile.

But I can't disagree with you either, I enjoy Tool so much more.

[MangaRED]

@suckitup1983 tool changed my life. this band didn't... doesn't mean that it aint better to listen then most bands in the media these days... but 4 me tool is incredible..

[soadfan235]

@suckitup1983 here's the short version of your statement "People have other opinions? What the fuck is wrong with them for not being like me." musical taste is completely subjective and has no way for it to be measured, so there is no way for one's preference to be better than another's. truly, the only way you could back up the argument that any band is better than the other is by saying "its better cause i say so", also try judging something by its intelligence and deeper meaning.

[UncleCletus13]

@suckitup1983 You mad Bro?

[roan36]

@suckitup1983 ...you're so cool.

[TheMadChilidogger]

@suckitup1983 you straight up ign'ant home slice! "Rock'n'roll' is for stupid honkies with irrational prejudices against any music that sounds different from what they listened to as a kid and is mostly ego buffering material garbage like Metallica or ANY tween alternative pop band with such classy examples as Nickelback, Breaking Benjamin, or any of the 500 or so other bands that blatantly ripped off Pearl Jam's earlier styles with little to no deviation other than containing shittier lyrics.

[TheMadChilidogger]

@suckitup1983 U DUM HONKY U DUM HONKY!1!! O LAWDY LAWDY YOU ONE DUMB ASS HONKY!1!!

[tobiasallen15]

@TheMadChilidogger

fail.

[TheMadChilidogger]

@suckitup1983 And besides APC is more vocally driven with influences of folk rock and industrial. Tool also places a generous emphasis on harmonic vocals although the main focal point is the alternating long and sludgy / brief and melodic patterns of the guitar and bass

[suckitup1983]

where the fuck is the rocking out point of the song?. this is worse than country, it teases you, thinking it would get good but it keeps on sucking.! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhh

[tuesdayblackmon]

LUv IT !!

[kottnmouthkween]

does anyone else know this wasnt made by maynard or a perfect circle? there was a contest and maynard chose one he liked most. so this video is that persons interpretation of the song.

[badazzpresidents23]

@kottnmouthkween I can believe that :) i love when people have contests or things like that, get their fans involved.

[SquishTheLish]

Necrophilia!

[HeavyMetalMushrooms]

I think its about necrophilia, But then again all of Maynards songs are completely open to interperetation, so technically i'm right, and wrong at the same time =P

[Roshby54]

basically sounds like tool

[Hellzshot]

@Roshby54 maybe cause the lead singer is maynard herp derp

[Roshby54]

@Hellzshot

Wasn't talking about the singer you tool (see what I did there?)

Also herp derp? Really? That shit is so overused it's pathetic. You could have insulted me in many ways and that's what you resorted to.

Give me a break. Wannabe hipsters like you are just sad.

[ButterflyGuilded]

A little like mary janes last dance in reverse

[symasticsl0vers]

honestly I have not seen this up until today, wow simply beautiful with the song :) Going to watch the rest soon :)

[amyamira99]

But could also be seen as hanging on to an ex love, that seems dead and yet you can't let go of them....

[Djjames504]

a little deeper than that

[orionconflict2007]

i kiss youtubez ass,lovin it!!!

[OnlyTheTyrant]

Nice song, but if this album has more than 9 steps, I'm not up for it.

[KimValo]

the guy looks like a dead Peter Gabriel

[simognr]

Naaaaa...

The Blue video is OBVIOUSLY perfect with some underwater landscapes and movement. Water flowing, a girl swimming through rocks etc.. if you have the possibilities to shoot a video, do that!

[DramaticGnome1210]

@simognr Naaaa......

I think the song is about a chick drowning just listen to the words...

[simognr]

@DramaticGnome1210 not sure, as Maynard always puts hundreds of interpretations to every song, but even if it was like that how many times the video really talked about the meaning of a song? Not a lot..and an underwater dinamic visual is in my mind since the first time I listened to that
