perfect example of how we've all been duped into thinking that our happiness depends on others. I'm learning that this myth couldn't be farther from the truth.
The whole mood and style of this animation is perfect for the song. It makes animation seem seductively simple...as though it's a doodle which a fairy has brought to life with a magic spell. Spread the love beautiful artistic person!
this is great! so i originally watched this on my phone after someone sent it to me for audio purposes, and i thought it was the official music video, like something that the band had made, and i loved it! props to you :)
Brilliant work!!! I absolute LOVE this animation. I hope you do more. Maybe a Pixies song? LOL Love it, love it, love it! Shared on Facebook even thought it has to be watched here. Awesome!

While searching for Magnetic Fields, I came across this & thought, 'that's probably not the Kate Freund who was the creative mind behind "Pussy Talk"'. Then at the end I saw, "for my Rob" and thought, "OMG it totes was!!1!" I thought your video was very sweet.
Brilliant Kate - great animation - must've taken hours and dedication to Rob!
And brilliant Stephin Merritt - my fav. song writer ever! !
I'm trying to cover this song but the bar lengths are all whack - how him! Gonna have to sample the audio and synch it to a 2/4 click-track and write up the chords. There's got to be some logic, otherwise how else would Merritt have come up with it - one can shoe-horn lyrics into a tune only so far.

love the video posted it on my writers typing tunes blog under film and animation I found out about the band in an entertainment news email and searched on youtube and found your channel - linda randall :)
dude i don't want to sound negative about anyones creative process there is so much overblown personal shit set to music on youtube but this is great you've captured the spirt of the song in your animation effin excellant
I didn't care for the animations, I thought they were rather harsh and ugly considering the laid backness/ beauty of the song. Also I find literal representations of the songs lyrics to be rather lacking in creativity and thought (thats what everyone seems to do, and its so straightforward). Also the character seems to react to prozac as if it was an amphetamine. Just my opinion, thanks for putting the song up :)
@RobSchrab I have only had one girlfriend in my life and hated the institution. I just have friends who are also women that I have sex with. Now, why do you care?
@jimmymortis i agree. i can't believe your comment is hidden because so many people disagree... i think you've put forward a very reasonable critique.
i think the animation is well done, visually, but it's far too literal, and the style doesn't fit the mood of the song.

Excellent video from a belly laugh perspective for an amazing, thoroughly enjoyable song.,, that rather pathetically, I can so relate to. Where are you now Alison Cameron?
I found this about a year ago, and it is still my probably-definitely-maybe-wellok-most favourite thing on the whole world wide web. God bless us all for the Magnetic Fields. Thank you for the lovely vid. PEACE! - Jon
i loved it the video went so well with the song..actually Moby is my fav so I always tend to love these stuffs.. Kudos to you..If u ever come on TV u can be sure I'll be watching you!!
Love the song... Never heard of these guys before but plan on investigating. The video was cool too. You could have said it was the "official" video and I wouldn't have questioned it...
I clicked on this because I like the song, even though there's so much cruddy animation on YouTube, and was pleasantly surprised that the animation was smartly done! *subscribe* I wanna animate too!
I like the song and the accompanying film, which is just right.
