@TheVadiolukery It's also a play... it's been done at a handful of universities and in theaters around the world for a while... It's pretty cool actually.
nerdy!!! this is all about the cool days of my age. the late 90's the golden age of alternative. 1 of the coolest music video of all time. fuck nowadys emo!!!!
at 2:15 hes like *you know what? i fucked a mother and the son doesnt knows i" --theyre laughin.... then he says at 3:21 *i fucked YOUR mother" and then the one is like what the fuck omg
Ja...yes it remembers me the clockwork orange too....but the song it's lovely....charming...wow...jajajjaja....It's for listening one and over again...
I watched this video like 10 times now... its really cool, but i being naturally dumb, dont understand it... could anyone please explain it to me.. ? xD
The song and music video is about a drug, a successor to Prozac that would make you unaware that anything has gone wrong. In the video the people are on the drug but begin to realize that there are things that are wrong, for example when the old man says, "This can't be heaven" and when the clergyman tells his friend something that causes him to go silent.
@Jake123456789000 Right? The greenwood brother. Same hair too. Both are great bands also. the lead singer looks like some actor. can't figure out which.
I remember having this CD for Xmas in about 95 when i was 11, feeling stuffed after eating too many Quality streets and playing this over and over again. God I loved this song, it almost makes me sad in a way that was so long ago.
Stunning song; great video; how can u not like a Kubrick film, come on 2001, watch that about 3 times and you are a lot wiser. As to the human condtion. I so hope the lads get together to do another album, can't wait to see Gorillaz @ Glastonbury.
Maybe it's just me but I don't really get it. Great clip nevertheless, but I just don't get it. Maybe it's because I can't remember I have ever seen a Stanley Kubrick movie, because that's what it's based on I guess reading the comments. Maybe it's time for me to go watch a Stanley Kubrick movie...
hermosa cancion , grandioso videoclip, esto si es arte no esa mierda pornografica de esa puta travesti de la caga y la beyonce, joder hasta cuando esta cancion superara los 200 millones de visitas sabiendo q esto si es musica
@solecipollari el ultimo disco de soda stereo "sueño stereo" fue lanzado en junio de 1995, el single de blur "the universal" en noviembre de 1995 con una imagen en su video a los 2:55 similar a la portada de soda stereo
@themofoarg ¡es cierto! yo siempre presentí la relación pero pensé que era "coincidencia" o ambas tenían algún disparador común. y cuando leí algo de lo que pusiste caí en la cuenta "concientemente"- qué cosa, cómo habrá sido?
