gotta give props to the people who made this music, best song for skate part ever, probobally one of my favorite parts since i was a little kid, will have to look into mellow and explore there music
@islanderboi89 That's just one of many reasons why skate videos are cool, because most of these kids would still be kickin it listening to Kanye, but because at heart skateboarding is such a huge counter culture, you often hear underground music in skate videos.
@megafaded69 yeah i don't wanna sound like some artsy douche but i'm a inspiring filmmaker and especially "This Is Skateboarding" gave me some great ideas on style, especially on the intros of the skateboarders lol
the song is about an island in an old british tv show from the 60s called danger man. apparently its a real island some where and used to have a village on it until the whole tribe was suddenly gone. 3 people who traveled there have gone missing. really hard to find information about the island, the song, and the old tv show. super weird
For me this song talks about place or things that you are sure that is awesome because you heard it was, but when you have it or that you get there, you realize that what everybody said was so wrong, and it happens so often, i think it means something like don't trust what people says!
Btw I suggest anyone that digs this song to check out King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King. It is a masterpiece of psychedelia. Amazing to get high to.
that's funny, the majority of people watching this know of the song from 'this is skateboarding'. i wonder how the guys from emerica found it. looks like it's filmed in NZ with all the sheep goin' around
@starwarsmon how about kickflip backside noseblunt on the arco rails in downtown bitch! thats heath. peace love and chicken grease form Los Angeles hommie.
All of history builds on what has come before, or it doesn't build at all. Nothing exists in a vacuum, and no art is without its predecessors. Some art plays it closer to its influences than other art. This song is a very intentional reference to great music that has come before, translated into a new context. Unless the band pretends they're purely original and takes credit for ideas wholly not its own...who cares?
I hate this DUMB DUMB DUMB : this is not original cause it sounds like this or that..
they should ban all these people that put hatefull comments on video's..
and ok, this Song sounds Very KING CRIMSON, but in the whole of the album this was a song that gave me goosebumps back in 98 when i was 15 and didnt even know about King Crimson..
I've listen to this multiple times in a row and still can't get enough of it. It's just a beautiful work of art. It just fills my mind with so many things. Gives me the chills. 5/5 master piece
THis songs a fucken rip off a king crimson. but it was in 1999 so its tolate for them ta do anything anything atall. so anyways this songs actually preety good but ya gota know its a that the real atrist is King crimson
Fkn awesome song in so many ways but wtf is Shinda Shima? Or should i say where is Shinda Shima? My interpretation for some reason is that its a war zone or something. Maybe Iraq or Afgan?
"And when your deepest thoughts are broken, keep on dreamin boy cause when you stop dreamin its time to die And as we all play parts of tomorrow Some ways we'll work and other ways we'll play But I know we can't all stay hhere forever So I want to write my words on the face of today .....And then they'll paint it! "
This fucking song deserves a whole genre decdicated to copying it. Mind blowing fucking beautiful music. Amazing. Moving. Uplifting and melancholic at the same time.
yep, this song is really mind blowing. i remember listening to this on my cd player when i was walking home from school, shit gave me the goose bumps. definitely one of the greatest musical experiences ive had in my life
French, electronic, they've swum in the same circles a little bit. Seemed like it'd get some new people in to check out Mellow, since they're far less known! :)
