The Ropes - Kitty Get Down

[anagomca]

100 comments? wow.. this band has grown... love the ropes :)

[thekeifernet]

until a kitty has climed a tree neither the tree or the kitty's true existence will be realized... so says ... well okay I just made it up... sort of fits the vid though!

[BORINGGULL]

masada used to be my waifu

[undeathguppie]

lolwut xd

[ekolke]

Great song from The Ropes!

-Eric Chicago

[iwuvmuffinz]

@lorien239 you can't just say you hate avril because she's MAINSTREAM POPULAR and this isn't. I think avril's better but this is nice too.

[LovetteCher]

I love this video.

[EpicFiction]

One of my favorites :)

[LongLifeToParamore]

the ropes are my life

[LunaGirl2001]

Someone connected this video to a picture of Seccom Masada Sensei from the game Yume Nikki.

And so all I can imagine this song being spoken to a little girl standing at the edge of her balcony in her toy cat-ears about to jump off and die.

[deathe007]

don't insult avril lorien239! but i got to agree this vid rocks since its veeeeeeery funny! ... ah wait! ITS HELARIOUS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HA!

[dace314]

Can we get back to the video?

[kakersenviro]

It is a lovely song and video, and a nice sentiment.

( Peripheral note: Although it is not about a real kitty, I happen to be taking care of an abandoned kitty who looks just like the video kitty... Unfortunately, he has feline AIDS and so it will be even harder to find a good home for the dear.)

[ttinsly]

OK stop repeating your subliminal poisonous message. It's Feline Leukemia, NOT feline Aids as you so want to repeat over again. Feline Leukemia. If you really had a cat with Feline Leukemia you would know to say that... BTW, this song has nothing to do with your message...

[d3p3ch3mod3]

@ttinsly It's FIV (cat aids) Feline in place of Human in HIV

[paramorefan0001]

sounds a little like Metric. Which is a good thing!

[imuy31yumi13]

i love kittys

[ekolke]

The Ropes rule!

-Eric Chicago

[iloveOnision]

By far the best song Ever!.

In my opinion.

[xxRubyLivesxx]

It's a metaphor, of course

The kitty is up in the tree far away from and isolated (and "safe") from the rest of the kitties, and alone, but all the kitty (aka person) needs to do is decide to get down.

I think it's a beautiful message. People don't need any therapist's pity or anything like that. No one is mentally ill. People just need to open up and find the confidence to be themselves and not care what other people think.

Even if it was just about a kitty I think thats pretty awesome XD

[DarkXSayuri]

...i just love the kitties!!!!!!! Lol ^_^

[nohlitacorpse]

What you said about nobody being mentally ill?

Thats either pure innocence or pure ignorance.

: /

[JosephTL384]

What ruby said is true, most people just need to become more self confident. HOWEVER I vote ignorance... Mental illness is not something controlled by the person...

[nagzul]

Most learned behaviors are hardly controled by person. It's developed, and can be undeveloped with ether brutal self awarness and control or an outside person. But who's to say, all of the normal dull people aren't the mentaly ill?? ;p

Just because the majority does it, dosn't mean it's natural. It just means your sheep.

[JosephTL384]

@nagzul Its been so long I forgot I had commented on this video! lol

Normal people are a bore and mental illness or craziness is all a frame of reference... Such as beauty, everyone has their own opinion right?

I do believe that people do control (or have the ability to) themselves. As for the developing of behaviors, you can do anything as quickly or slowly as you care to.

[nagzul]

true. you cancontrol against learned behaviors. urges are what define them. sexual urges, homosexual urges, drinking urges, drug urges, violence urges, etc. People say let them be " who they are," But if you say that about the small learned behaviors, you have to say that about the larger ones too. Like cheating on a wife.

[nagzul]

It's not mental illness, it's open-mindedness to being yourself.

[iloveOnision]

@xxRubyLivesxx Wow you can read.

[Wizardman555]

awesome reply! =) tottaly agree even though what ur saying can sometimes be difficult =/

[1337huntard]

@xxRubyLivesxx

you are

[mailboxgoogle]

I just saw them last night. They were very unique and awesome.

[nickarcher03]

Awesome song and charming video.

=^..^=

[lorien239]

pshh.. way better then avril, avril sucks and this rocks. The suggestive drawing of the trees and background in the video was shown in an art class i took.

[iloveOnision]

@lorien239 Omfg, finally. Avril L. is terrible, and her songs are so fuckig lame.

Ha.

[queenofthedamned37]

@lorien239 wtf

avril completely different thing and gerne

this rocks idd

[semujda]

this video It's best! I love cats! <33

[karimissi]

I love this video!!! I have a kitty just like the one in the video xD

[abooboo4u]

Yes...this is one you have to listen to a few times but in the end...i like this and you really draw your own conclusion of the meaning.....I like this band...... The Texas Fat Boy

[theDansterDaniela]

cool song. =]

and nice vid.

[Foo3112]

Just to let all know - This band has put all there music up for FREE DOWNLOADS on there website at THEROPESONLINE(dot)COM - Im just a fan like you so you can support them and say your thanks by catching them on tour so see if there coming to your city. I saw them live by pure accident while they were opening for a friends band and Ive been hooked ever since and that was almost 2 years ago now.

[iWantToGoToThere]

If I could fave this video a hundred times i would.

This is the best.

[DarkXSayuri]

no...that's why it says "the ropes"

[gottalovemymovies]

I didn't really like this at first, but the song grew on me after about a week. I think it's great!

[Distortedbackdrop]

Goosebumps , appropriate vibes; good sound -- healthy contribution to the well-being of anyone who cares to stop, listen, and think :)

[marvincontendo]

I LOVE YOU

[DustinGuthro]

fuckin awsome song

[cheezonacracker]

i go by the name kitty, a friend showed this to me.

[RGVesteva]

awesome, and yeah i got the message just by hearing it. nice.

[Mike709]

amazing video and an even more amazing song

[kuribudot3]

[SevasevoL]

lovely video

[abdfgor]

what metaphorical metaphoricalnessness

[kakathehood94]

noir.

[Kao777]

cute!!!

[chicostroke]

stroke paso por aqui =D

[PsycoZaffa]

Good song, but the video was really repetitive and uninteresting for me. I mean it was basically 4 or 5 loops over and over again with only slight variations until the end, and then they walked off. It feels like it was made in a day, and I could've done better... That being said, Be My Gun is awesome, it puts this one to shame.

[EricChicago2]

Right now! Right now! I love Sharons voice and Toppys guitar work. I like to BLAST IT!

-Eric Chicago

[ekolke]

GREAT!

-Eric Chicago

[kittenvillage]

Kitten Approved!

[LunaSombre]

Love this song, love the video.

Both straight and to the point, and a good point at that.

[roxi333]

I'm Getting Down! Right at this Moment!!!

(beautiful Song!!!!)

[Bunnylavoie]

literally, a strange concept for a song.

metaphorically it's pretty amazing.

catchy too.

[Vardainzilwen]

[PLA5T1KJ3ZUS]

[vanyliababy]

[pohannen]

LOVE THiiS SONG

[h01yH311]

Not a huge fan of this song, Water and Headphones is much better.

[khamseen]

Really love this song, as I love all the other songs you've done :D

[misterglowstik]

This is such a catchy song! And the video is soooo good! I love the message :)

[Foo3112]

I really like the verse...I dont like the chorus too much. I think its more the production. It just sounds loud and out of place.

[glassworld17]

Inspiring. Love this song and video- love this band in fact. The new EP is brilliant.

[InfinxRegres]

The video was kind of repeatative.

[demolitionxlover666]

Awh, I love The Ropes (:

I LOVE IT! Very effective video. The art work is terrific-I love the animated Sharon Shy and Toppy!!! The cat is adorable!! The song, like all The Ropes songs, gets its hooks into you and will not let go.
