  • Phil Collins meets Pretty Lights....This is awesome stuff

  • Lovely.

  • Boy have something with snoopdogg

  • "Wasting your days chasing some girls all right; chasing cocaine through the back rooms of the world all night."

    that is the coolest fucking lyric in the history of music

  • this is somewhat a genre of 'shoegaze' i guess. reminds me of toto & tear for fears. well done!

  • @YoungPretenders

    No its NOT shoegaze. Shoegaze is effects saturated slow heavy guitar music of the late 80s, i.e. my bloody valentine, the jesus and mary chain etc. so called because musicians would be used so many fx pedals they would always looking at their feet. Tears for fears and toto are not shoegaze, but you're right in that this is tapping into that pop nostalgia of those bands

  • I knew the world was going retro (and not for the better), but this song literally sounds like it was made in the mid-eighties by some cheesy pop band (the video doesn't help either). Is this called "rock" today? Oh god.

  • @spidey0102 get cancer and die

  • @spidey0102 What does it matter if it is called "rock." you stupid cunt. It is a great tune, go comment on other "rock videos" you freaking fool.

  • looks like a young lad who goes in my boozer.

  • Looks like a mini Jeffery Dahmer if he went with a musical career instead of. you know.

  • what a... weird video.

  • Best Album of 2011, hands down!

  • awesome LOL

  • most awkward music video ever

  • Hopelessly Freudian video

  • in terms of music video direction, it really does not get much better than this

  • deacon blue, is that you ?

  • this video is ridiculous

  • the one good song on the list

  • You know you have a strange voice when you put it with a 12 year old boy and a gypsy and both match perfectly...still a very beautiful vid. "All sounds like a dream to me." Something so sad about that lyric.

  • this song is truly homosexual

  • Someone said this was better than M83...give me a fucking break!! I mean it's stupid to compare the two..they sound nothing like each other! I mean..it's not bad..but there's no emotion to this...

  • @halation777 If I had to compare this artist to M83, I would consider M83 the under-age version of this type of style. A lot of M83's music is saturated with emotions of self-pity and reflexive situations where if the listener is to truly relate, he/she would consider slashing their wrists with tears. This song and video is a representation of the same type of style but without all the sap. It's simply music and images. It allows you to make your own interpretation. This is great Canadian art.

  • @adlepp I woke up stronger than ever. Driven by big waves of fire. To run and yell all the way. Nothing can hurt me today. There's a magic inside. Just waiting to burst out. The world is a goldmine. That will melt tomorrow. I just can't recognize myself. Tears of joy run all over my face. My sensations reach the limit. Nothing can hurt me today. There's a magic inside. Just waiting to burst out. There world is a goldmine. That will melt tomorrow. "Slit your wrist lyrics"??
  • @halation777 True. I've always thought they sucked--despite my love for the New Pornographers--but I had to listen when a review said they sound like Avalon era Roxy Music. THAT'S what this sounds like.

  • o canada... why you make such good music?

  • I typed in "Destroyer" in hope of finding some sick heavy metal songs. xD

  •  I think it's loosely the story of harry potter if he didn't go to hogwarts

  • @listoperators That is freakin'  hilarious!

  • really? destroyer? expecing some kind of metal and i get this? oh god, why have you forsaken me?!

  • 4:09 twitter?

  • This is quite possibly one of the most interesting videos I've ever seen. Love it :)

  • i'm high

  • Chris Rea 100%!

  • I love it at 1:16 when the guitar comes in. Lush!

  • someone really needs to make a gif of 0:39 to like 0:45 or so

  • Why does the second half on the video reminded me of Link's Awakenng? XD

  • I used to only watch this video when i was stoned..and since i quit smoking weed, i forgot all about it until now!!!

  • I love this band minus the singer. Why do indie bands have to have male vocalists who sound like they never quite made it out of puberty.

  • @TheReligionkills at first his voice threw me off pretty good, but I think the juxtaposition between the rich music, just dripping with honey, and the vocalist's awkward, dweeby voice gives the songs lots of character.

    I don't think I'd like it as much if he sounded more serious and "ooow waah look at me, I'm a deep amazing singer meww eww bleh bleh"

  • I kept looking for the bowl of petunias

  • Guys, I wouldn't be so fast to encourage the end of this current 80s revival. As much as I despise it, its natural successor (the 90s revival) is going to be even more obnoxious. I quite like this song actually.

  • no flat screen monitors in the 80's sorry, Step out of your toga already. Love the album.

  • if corey feldman and michael j fox fucked and then those babies fucked, it would look exactly like this dude

  • Great song! Interesting to read all explanations here.

  • this was just a joke Xp

  • It sound like old porn movie music!

  • disappointingly awful. one more artiste to never listen to again.

  • @doctorfuse007 I guess you aren't into 80s lite-rock hits like I am haha.

  • it said "Destroyer" idk i guess i expected something more thrashy xD

  • Please allow sharing. I want it on my tumblr

  • Oh yeah

  • Is that Skrillex?

  • fun fact: all the dancers in the desert scene are actually men

  • @SBV123

    The lead one is, but the rest are actually the girls from the beginning of the video.

  • @SBV123 Mirage

  • Thank god for asian hipster chicks

  • @illpillprod All the people dancing and singing in the desert are male. Fact

  • Wow. I am gobsmacked. I assumed from the name that this was some kind of Death Metal band, but this is a pleasant surprise.

  • @thatbennyguy haha yeha mee too :D

  • There is not a single girl of that intro that i wouldnt provide my sex slave services

  • wonderful ....:D greetings from albania :)

  • I'm glad to know that there are still great videoclips being made. Really Great song too, I will love to see this band.

  • pet shop boys?

  • who's the kid though?

  • @KaiilahGoesRawrr Names ventzi vassilev, normal kid, he was at my house on monday. Look him up on facebook

  • @SNIP3Dz aw, well he's cute. and yeah, when i finally did some research, i found him on facebook but it's private or something. this video was the first i'd heard of destroyer and i thought he was dan bejar and then i looked up dan bejar and uh... this isn't him. ha

  • @KaiilahGoesRawrr haha, def not

  • i love this this sound it reminds me of the 70's sound al stewart year of the cat

  • Hey man, this is Beiber. I know what you kids are thinking. See'in as this is a pretty legit indie track on youtube, feel'in some hate rolling my way on this page. Don't be doing that! Why is it everytime something solid comes by, I need to be catching flak? Don't do it, don't even mention me...

  • hahaha he drank sand.

  • Oh, and one more thing. Anyone who doesn't think that this video is brilliant is a fucking arrogant imbecile. Because if you stretch your imagination (with the director of this mini-epic) then you'll understand what is being said, and it will blow your mind.

  • Now I get it. It took a couple of listens, but this all makes sense now. I know what he's trying to do, musically and lyrically, in a superbly nostalgically integrated way. Just figure it out. This song is a warning about the dangers of aimless, ceaseless modern desire. And the music is the seduction that puts you in the mood.

  • This NERD is HOT ! ;)

  • @Nayyoung4ever Please look up "preselection" on pualingo

  • Ventzi, You are a ProTool

  • THE FUCK IS THIS?

  • @22purplegreengirl were you expecting thrash metal xD

  • this album is severely underrated :(

  • @lorenzo152857 Noooooo..... If anything it has been extremely hyped by the indie community since it was released. That aside, I really enjoy "Kaputt," as well as the title track.

  • @Hockyluv21 really?? well whats wrong with that though, i mean i think these guys deserve hype because their music is amazing and original unlike whats whats on the radio these days. these guys are one of the few bands that are actually good in todays music...

  • @lorenzo152857 original? its just some hipsters copying 80s-porn-background-music with some singing over. nothing against them, and probably better than most shit on the radio..but i would start to get also annoyed hearing this over and over again. i rather leave the radio off or just listen to the channels with original 80s (and 70s) music.

  • @sophiascalpel i don't care its very beautiful music, and if you don't like it..... don't listen to it! as simple as that xD

  • @lorenzo152857 did i ever say that i dont like it!? no, so shut up. i just mentioned true critic and its so typical you kids cant handle that.

  • @sophiascalpel i like it so FUCK YOU :D

  • @lorenzo152857 thats good for you, so FUCK YOURSELF, too :D (i'm actually kinda amused about our "conversation", haha)

  • @sophiascalpel hahah mee too B)

  • @sophiascalpel Most songs are made by someone singing over background music. :P

  • @Goomba4001 well, sorry, but that wasnt really my point.

  • Buena música , feo video

  • Look's like :"Wolf's Rain - Strangers" watch?v=i4SJcDd4ICg

  • New Order + Cocteau Twins + Blow Monkeys

  • @sabahiya pretty much. This kind of stuff defines me

  • im probably missing the genius of this somewhere, but i couldve sworn ive heard many versions of this song whilst on hold to insurance companies...?

  • one of best albums lately, love it

  • I never understood why thirsty people spill so much water when they drink

  • @droper66 ahahahaha! I know, right?! In every video and movie dude.

  • @droper66 That's deep

  • @droper66 I gues u were never Dehydrated

  • how is the kid in this video?

  • Great album I wish they'd make a video for suicide demo for Kara Walker

  • why does a band waste a perfect name for a metal band??? =(

  • @matler87 Because this guy has talent unlike metallica or slipknot where there just shredding on guitars and singing incomprehensibly

  • @ljpelicano Metallica are by far more melodic than other metal bands. so dont take them as an example ;)

    and a band without talent does not sell 57 million cds (only in the USA)! 30 years of music history and they are still going ;)

  • @matler87 the only reason they've sold that much was because douche bags like you buy there records I'll bet you like slip knot you EMO sensitive tool

  • @ljpelicano i used to like them but that is past. and i am neither a douche bag nor an emo because i shared my opinion on a bands name. that was just what i am thinking i did not mean to hurt anyone! If you feel like i am attacking you or hating on the music you listen to YOURE WRONG!

  • @matler87 I hate you.....Go listen to Veil of maya or something...Just saying!

  • @MrPopoTheGreat OMG thank you dude! i didnt even know them before your comment and i think they are pretty decent! THANK YOU lots of love <3 :D

  • @matler87 Haha wow thats amazing! Glad to help!

  • Genius!!!!!!!

  • OMFG... "kaputt" is the german word for "destroyed, damaged"... so... I searched for videos for my videos on my channel... and THIS is what I find? :D

  • 42 people are fucking idiots

  • Meanwhile, in the mind of Charlie Sheen...

  • @borderlander800 hahahahahaha

  • @dairylandbogurt lol trolls dont know what the fuck talking about

  • best album 2011 for me so far. true story

  • @bathinthefountain couldn't agree more!

  • @bathinthefountain indeeed

  • @bathinthefountain same for me. i know every lyric to every song on this album because i listen to every song on here every time i pick up my ipod. these sons just make my insides melt

  • Never thought an artist from this generation would ever be influenced by Kenny G... (shudder)... but for some reason, I like this song and album, if only because it is SO corny. This video proves that.

  • This is probably my favorite music video ever. Its just a really nice video...paired with a really nice song. It's as simple as that.

  • dude is drinking sand. wtf
