triumph of our tired eyes

[shmike1984]

how will it feel?

[North0house]

I'm not one for protest or activism. I think the most effective way to get out of the system is to simply get out of it. It's not hard. I've done it... I just had to say that, based on the content of the video.

Either way, this is so beautiful. I'm pretty pumped for Menuck's solo project, I love his voice and musical inclinations

[75moonbeam]

we will find our way

[alexscothern]

@75moonbeam

Your optimism is important. Thank you.

[75moonbeam]

A silver mt zion, i thank you from the depths of my soul for your union of people against the state of play, you have expanded my mind and iam gratefull. Good luck to the egyptian people. Come on friends to the barricades againl.. xx peace to all.

[giogaro]

You will find your way to hell ,,, dammed democratic criminals !!!!!!! All the curses be upon you, government , politics and weapons.

[lildstryr]

We may be fucked, but so were those who came before and so will be those who come later. We can still do something incredible with the short time we have. Just make it all count.

[ThefirstDrInsane2U]

Insane.....time away.....still Insane........

[hensly77]

sounds like a cross between Sonic Youth and The Flaming Lips but way more depressing

[livefortheweekend99]

@hensly77 interesting acts to site. I see where you are coming from but do you not think they still have their own thing going on?

[KangarsDzons]

Aren't we supposed to be people? The Higher being.

I see animals.

Why there is anybody in this world with desire to hurt someone? Why do you want to see pain? Why do something to others and then teach your kids different?

Why lie and not trust?

Why be alone when you can unite?

Why be one?

There can be two, then three....then you feel everyone. You accept and understand.

I would love to live there, but I'm here.

Change.Love.Peace.

There is beauty is this land, but I dont often see it, There is beauty in this land but I dont often feel it.

[mike22490]

There is beauty in this land,

But I don't often see it.

There is beauty in this land,

But I don't often feel it.

[donttalktome929]

We're fucked. It's true.

[unbekannte5]

i can hardly stand all the "heroes" in this video and the idiotic happysad comments here, but the music is nice

[xSANJITx]

Yeah, bunch of patriots. I like to think Silver Mt. Zion espouses anarchist beliefs, even though they apparently don't identify as anarchist. They've gottaat least be libertarian socialists, and probably not the most patriotic people around...They're also Canadian, but whatevs.

[donttalktome929]

False.

[deadrevel]

i think you're mistaken. there are no heroes in this video. just people trying to be a small part of a larger movement. there's no need to criticize people for standing for something without a profit margin :)

[EightAndSix]

way to gore pix

[beppe77a]

"When we finally cross the barricades

With the angels on our side

When we finally deny all the populary loss

When we finally let doubt and worry die

How will it feel?"

[Etruscan1973]

we will be dead, so it won't matter how we feel

[pataxoriginal]

peace everyone!

[pataxoriginal]

the most precious/ important video i have seen on you tube. we need everyone to connect with its fragile optimism and to reevaluate the justice of the 'new world order' which strangles the life out of us. i demand you post some more videos!!! :)

[atheistrules]

Sad, sad, beautiful world.

[atheistrules]

*Sigh*

[kraan31]

Could've Moved Mountains... but i dint

[kraan31]

ahaha i wanna kill myself

[snorhoofd]

Where do these pics come from?

[latenightlunging]

Musicians are cowards!

[oeriador]

so come on friends, to the barricades again.

[MabusZero]

such a cute ending.

[larryonlineone]

It reminds me of the band Earth Opera 1966 Electra Band- but distorted

[Allmouth]

Your know Rage Against the Machine, I love those guys, but I find A silver Mt Zion and God Speed so much more powerful.

To me it's like Rage Against the Machine but with severe manic depression.

best ever

[wedr1nkritalin]

And not owned by sony, you forgot that right?

[Dredawg42]

I don't like political music in general, but i always make exceptions for these two (three) bands. I feel that these guys (ASMZ in particular) is less about some silly political agenda and more honestly concerned about human life and justice. I don't even share their political beliefs, but i respect them so much because i feel they truly care about humanity, unlike so many political bands i hear.

[dingusrev44]

You have failed . Anyone who has replied in a positive way to this post has lost.

You will never be found.

[amillionnightlights]

this video is more then a series of horrible conditions that shows the evils of mankind, its to show that there is a way out of it, there is a way through it. Thats whats positive about this video, that is why its beautiful.

never disregard the power of hope.

[TheUnitedFreak]

great vid! ^_^ (hugs) to you!

[gregorygory]

people are strange spices

[Chrotisofus]

I have always felt like a herb.

[TheUnitedFreak]

ha ha ^_^ i love you both!

[nicknack534]

"There is beauty in this land,

but I don't often see it.

There is beauty in this land,

but I don't often feel it."

[RubenFreud]

a sentiment we can all feel

[alldreamsfalldown]

Humans suck :(

[themafia006]

Yeah...I'm more of a robot man

[HappinessIsWithinUs]

Peace and love are all around us, we really just need to share it. There is so much hate in this world, and it is so easy to give into it but you can't. We love eachother. The hate generations are leaving, and the peace loving generations are now here. No one wants to fight anymore we are tired of it, but we have to want it together! Peace and freedom only tuly come when you have chosen to love your fellow society and respect their differences.

[Fannymania]

and this will never come true. this is the saddest point.

[TheRapperGuy]

Pessimism is just an emotion my friend.

[damicore]

behind hate lies a lot of love

life is not as simple as peace and love just for the sake of it

[gregorygory]

We are lost for Angels

[voltakid]

what the hell are we doing... fuck.

[keusti]

love and peace to all

[satanicsquirrel01]

...except to george bush.

[AsgrimWhat]

Especially to George Bush.

[satanicsquirrel01]

er... how about especially to people dying in poverty? not that stupid rich bastard

[bookieguy]

Bloc separatist movement. I think it is about that. I mean they are from Montreal and from what I understand they are separatists (at least some of them).

[Tony4Guit]

What do you mean by "separatist"? Quebec independence?...

[ladylioness]

Nice.... thank you for this...

[deadrevel]

thank you for watching...

[captainneck]

and don't forget, the baricades at tianemen. the barricades in paris, those ones drew tank regiments to von hausmanns periphery.

we have magnificent responsiilites.

think about the exact nature of rationalism, enjoy the freedom of your mind.

[captainneck]

i don't think we are alone. The world may be tough, and life a struggle, but theirs hope. Music like this can frame a moment of perfection. Thier is glory in our quiet thoughts. Don't allow their choices and roots confuse you.

[weaselidiotu]

impressive song by A Silver Mount Zion

[Marctastic]

or, The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-la-la Band as they call themselves these days.

[uberleitmotif]

*Thee

[xinhallucinated]

greatest video ever.

[KimTuckerFr]

I don't understand your video ! I think this song is not a war song. Why do you put victims pics ? The message of this song isn't negative, and i see too much pain in this video.

[nestev]

too true, its a love song. they have alot more songs that would be more suited. nice video.

[deadrevel]

it is a hopeful song. and a love song. love for strangers, friends, family, earth, and life. but it's also a song for change, about coming together and realizing that change. there's always hope...

[TOTALLYEVIL]

and our gods will love all our children in heaven

[sidocious]

why in heaven? why not at the moment?

[redkiwi2002]

I doubt god exists, but if it does provably will have better things to do...

[sidocious]

but do not, just laughing our agony...

[redkiwi2002]

Sorry to hear that, but my life is far to be an agony.

[sidocious]

My life too, but I think _OUR_ life... people's life...

[redkiwi2002]

We all are alone, sadly life can't be shared at all. But yes, i agree this world is pretty much fucked up.

[satanicsquirrel01]

i have to admit, there are elements of society that make me gag, the insensitivity that surrounds us in an almost claustrophobic manner. but sometimes, you just have to try and look on the bright side - if you have a roof under your head, and people that care for you, it's all you need. people value their game consoles and their diePods too much. if you dropped all those things away, people would still be as human as they were before.

this song brings tears to my eyes.

[redkiwi2002]

Considering human history i am not afraid to say than people never has been too "human" at all... but, as you said, we live taking care of electronic stuff such as PC's, consoles, etc than makes us easier to control, at least in the past people were used to fight for their rights.
