Explosions In The Sky -- "Greet Death"

[stormcorrosion]

Something about this combination is absolutely amazing, though I don't really know why.

[ClovesPhilW]

tdwp:) 

[olliemad]

thats a weird trippy video, first time for aaaages ive actually watched a music video.

[LOLBROTIMETOLUL]

Song doesn't go with music. Fucked it up.

[stormcorrosion]

@LOLBROTIMETOLUL If "song" doesn't go with "music", I wonder what does.

[LOLBROTIMETOLUL]

@stormcorrosion

Holy shit, how'd I type that.

I'm so embarrassed. u/////u

[Yamaha950]

listening to this song and reading up on the history of Jackson's war with the national bank is oddly unsettling.

[deahunt]

@Yamaha950 haha :)

[stormcorrosion]

@Yamaha950 Eh?

[Yamaha950]

@stormcorrosion I often make weird connections that other people often don't haha. If you don't know what I'm talking about google Andrew Jackson and the national bank.

[WelcomeGhostsIV]

Holy shit, they used to do really heavy grungy stuff back in the day! They should go back to that sometime.

[CytalistMusic]

fuckin great song. and idk y but it makes it ten times better with this video

[lockwoodhms1]

Every single time the beat drops, it makes me jump. Every single time. It's great. I love it.

[spicybeeframennoodle]

right when the fried chicken pops out onto the plate, the beat drops and shit gets real.

[kentriz182]

this reminds me of high school and how i hate everybody

[SarahGirl1214]

Looove this song,!!!! :: heart::

[gabeop1]

I get to see them play live tonight in Marfa Texas of all places. Should be a great show, also happens to be free! Now I just have to endure a 2.5 hour drive from El Paso.

[flamingskullLord]

@gabeop1

doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoit! =D

[TMLFC]

this, at my funeral

[IskArioT27]

In these hostile, surreal plains you can only survive through creativity

[nameless12345]

tom and jerry use to be 2 dudes?

[wake576]

The 3:00 part of the song is one of the greatest pieces of music i have ever heard

[ImaginaryMindss]

This is my designated funeral song / video

[PassionOfDenmark]

More beauty and stormy post-rock, search for:

The Inituition - Open Your Frozen Heart And Start Living Again

[MurphyBros70]

@Dogapsa sigur ros is the shit, they're so good. I just saw EITS live in seattle two days ago though, and I have to say, I dont think anything can top the crazy shit that they played...

[belikejames]

this song is like all your life changing flashbacks

[Infernusx0x]

trippin balls watchin the tom and jerry clip with the music, the music perfectly fits the mood of the cartoon

[thebich2man5421]

I pictured some huge war going on with ths song. Around 0:37 I saw explosions, a storm, a thunderstorm with lighting the color of red, etc.... not some cartoon?

[TheJesusBug]

I want you to all stop doing what you are doing. completely stop. turn this song and close your eyes. This song will take you on an adventure to where you will it to take you.

[yummymayo]

tom and jerry look... different.

[Caturdayz]

So that's what a squirrel attack sounds like...

[broodro0ster]

Seems like someone took too much acid. Wicked video and music!

[druglover200]

I want to hear this song as i die

[b2manatees]

@TheFoliageCradle

This is correct. Their masterstroke.

[PassionOfDenmark]

MIND BLOWING... beauty and pain.

For new similar inspiration search for:

The Inituition - Open Your Frozen Heart And Start Living Again

[DedRed7]

I don't know what it is, but the combination of music and imagery from 0:20 - 0:50 is blowing my mind.

[denvarhawks]

if i could cut this song down in to lines and snort it i would

[drummerboy918]

Its nice to have the confidence of Superman for 7 minutes.... Amazing...

[uranimo]

Perfect match. BTW, were cartoonist smoking something back then? I mean some of that imagery is really tripped out. I love the hands through the roof...

[MnMzProductions]

@uranimo :P Really, people just thought differently back then. Without all the excess technology, it was almost a different world.

[btuc401]

@uranimo All cartoonists smoke something. It's nearly a requirement.

[LOLBROTIMETOLUL]

@btuc401

Why do old time cartoons have to be related to drugs?

[rdkileymtb]

The Rise

[titmousian]

19 people couldnt hear the music?

[icarewhenyoudo]

fucking amazing. 

[BloggerMusicMan]

I probably have a good percentage of these 186 230 views. This is masterful.

[EnsonLeo84815]

Fantastic work,like!

[jdmhondapower0831]

can't believe how well this vid went with the song.

great job!

peace!

[wallamalla21]

lmao lmao lma fucking o!

[alienwareify]

holy shit... oh my god... just... holy shit. this is amazing.

[bluetoaster8822]

umm, wtf is going on at 5:55 ???

[thedeathly]

@bluetoaster8822 i think he got raped

[TheKingofSomewhere]

@bluetoaster8822 yeah that's exactly the shit u r thinking.

[ZIDBULA]

is Gordon Freeman their singer? the lyrics and voice are just amazing

[bamboodoo]

@ZIDBULA lol you're awesome

[RunLikeHellIV]

@ZIDBULA I've listened to this a lot recently, and this comment has always pissed me off. There are no lyrics, the fuck are you on man?

[ZIDBULA]

@RunLikeHellIV totallygotthereference.png

don't worry your little head, it's nothing..

[RunLikeHellIV]

@ZIDBULA K

[PushiMaslachke]

Holy sh.t this is an amazing song. Just a blast of awesomeness.

[elenak643]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[doktorandom]

1) Morbid

2) Homoerotic

3) Brilliant

[porkypig75]

i love how there songs have quiet moments and then they just burst out and then go quiet again. its nice as.

[cobralover88]

i cant imagine what dropping acid on this song would be like

[thisisamboarding]

@cobralover88 its amazing

[x54184x]

i love the post rock, great video!!!!!!

[x54184x]

i love the post rock

[ilive4cheese]

explosions in the sky knows what music is

[simbabrorly]

sick video bro

[laxwarrior64]

i have this episode of tom and jerry and tons others on this big compilation of cartoons my little sister has on DVD

[fritoh]

tom and jerry <3

[What4ish]

This is a nice way of letting someone know how you can greet death so in this cartton I lean that ignorace kills.

[What4ish]

@What4ish cartoon teaches how ignorace can kill.

[l33tmad]

this is pretty fucked how this album was released like a week or so before 9/11.. just look at the album cover wow...

[gwalchafed]

@l33tmad omg you re right, i didnt notice that!

[shaungates]

15 people do not know what Music & Talent are.

[zeroblackstar]

Perfect unison of visuals and sound, very much loving this, explosions in the sky have always has a sense of nostalgia about their music and the video really compliments it, awesome

[aryllia]

Well... at least no one who has seen this cartoon should be able to complain over the lack of realism in Japanese kid's shows. EVERYTHING seems to be made out of rubber. And that hat at 4:57 ...

It's like a drug trip (can't possibly say if it's a good or a bad one since I've only been trippin' on sugar and coffee myself) and everything is just so surreal. Law of nature? Gravity? Nope, nothing of that here :P

[sixtynizzle]

@aryllia i am trippin right now on some lsd and u got it right

[PunkSistasloveMCR]

hahahaa

[khaghgoo]

6:04 Aww, he betrayed his friend and all nature turned against him :(

[MrYellowAM]

i guess the sheriff wanted a quickie at 5:57!?

[20stjimmy]

we need not be afraid of death...no matter what religion we believe, we all believe that we will pass on into a better life after death...life hurts a lot more than death..at the point of death, the pain is over, that's why we should greet it.

[23coldplay]

i swear every song of theirs is fantastic. honest to god.

[saintpeter666]

This is pretty amazing.

[havikairsoft]

I would greet death over and over again if it sounded like this.

[drdurdo]

5:55 .. WHAT!? o_O

[backlikevertabrae]

when do the words start

[underoathhhx]

@backlikevertabrae they don't have any words in any of their songs, lol.

[PlayOnWords9000times]

did you know Chuck Norris can sing the lyrics to this song? :)

[mustbejames1]

you wanna know how this is really old school? it says synchronizer instead of director. crazy. amazing song too

[filettijt]

Does Explosions in the sky have their own channel?

[Darioloki]

This video is so appropriate for this song, I really love it! Great work

[dodiedeath1985]

best video on youtube

[dodiedeath1985]

goose skin

[peptosxe]

I had to look for this, I was too curious haha

The cartoon is Van Beuren's Tom and Jerry ...and it was before the cat and mouse (MGM's Tom and Jerry)

Nice vid =)

[mxgj17]

the ending with the squirrels worked perfectly

[mustbejames1]

...the only band that can make you feel at peace with dying....not church....not motivational speakers...Explosions in the sky.

[skank1n]

That was amazing! I kinda wanna watch it again but it was alittle trippy.

[murdoch2486]

Tom and Jerry reincarnated

[Springettpaul]

Seems like i just ended it with my gf, and this is all i can listen too, but it isnt helping!

[OrangeStainedGlass]

At my funeral... I think I'd want this song to be playing.

[23GrandMasterK]

@OrangeStainedGlass On my death bed, I want to hear EITS as I expire.

[mikol58]

@OrangeStainedGlass Why? You aren't there....

[OrangeStainedGlass]

@mikol58 It wouldn't matter if I wasn't there to hear it. I would just want it to be playing. A parting gift for whoever decides to show up. A little good-bye for those still living.

[TheManAmongMen]

@OrangeStainedGlass too true :)

[airsoftrocks30]

i like the slower part of this song,it's great.

[TheLadyMarina]

It was awesome. Nice work.

[ratjoker936]

No words.

Just Feelings

This music is amazing.

[jeroenve]

great song

[shrmskt]

really cool man. lovin' it...

[nugsalad]

PERFECT!

[zanasanakolitaderana]

Es una cancion HERMOSA!!!

Me hace sentir algo muy profundo como, algo asi como EXPLOSIONES EN EL ALMA.

It makes me feel something deep, something like EXPLOSION IN THE SOUL.

Saludos desde Naucalpan Edo. de Mexico.

[Bethrezem]

Man if you can do some more videos like this it would be great!!!!!

[jruedas81]

Great combo! Incredible song!

[kx12x]

I love this video/song.

At 1:04 it reminds me of like a more innocent, care-free time.

Its awesome.

[Hurkmaniacs]

Brilliant combination until the very last seconds, so funny, thanks man

[jakefyfe]

@Hurkmaniacs what do you mean about the last few seconds?

[RobotFetish]

I think he means "even up to the last few seconds"

as in it all fit

I love it too

[jakefyfe]

@RobotFetish  ah.

[bluetoaster8822]

@jakefyfe I agree, very brilliant combination.

[dowling1981]

@RobotFetish Has Voltar been adequately portained?

[TheKNstudio]

so surreal

[TiDuZzO]

FRRRRRRRRRRRRUCKINNINGINGI AVVEESSSOMMMMMMMm

xP

[Mrkittensoft]

the video was PUURRfect for the song.. genuis combonation. what is the name of the cartoon?? cos i really want to watch it. and ya its aslo 1:05 for me as well! beautifull!

[jakefyfe]

@Mrkittensoft tom and jerry, i guess. thats what it says at the beginning anyway.

[Mrkittensoft]

ye but i cant find the series anywhere....D:

[mynameisjongreen]

@jakefyfe later renamed dick and larry to avoid obvious confusion

[1firefighter1958]

@jakefyfe The original Tom and Jerry's! this was before the Cat and mouse games

[mikol58]

@Mrkittensoft ...try watching the movie "Ghost Dog".

[plzletmego87]

@mikol58 That's an awesome movie. For some reason I couldn't grasp the concept of the way of a samuri and how he was trying to follow that life style.

[jontenz]

1:05 is like.... woah is this heaven?

[lastgalacticvoyage]

beautiful song from a great band! pls check out our video, we are still trying to get that shoegaze/ambient feel.. just type, jam experiment video file 1 (or video file 2)

[Nox989]

best fuckin intro I've heard in awhile!

[manixinam]

that's really cool, do you know some similiar tracks or bands ?

[jakefyfe]

@manixinam all explosions in the sky are pretty great. i've seen a few bands mentioned in these comments that are similar.

[m2frogger]

0:39...damn.

[XzooyorkashX]

for me its 1:05

[aleemedinaa]

its like i feel my heart explode at :39

[gekorio]

explosions in the sky = explosions in my soul

if you people like this and also some dark stuff you should try also minsk or isis.

/watch?v=wozKC3MNhX0

[ihavenoticed]

love!

[utzzzz12345]

trippy as hell

[Franlop3z]

@utzzzz12345 got that right, pal.

[hibiti87]

ya it has that team sleep feel to it

[SwedishMeatball93]

Yeah it is similair to Blvd. Nights! :D

[mothsnes]

@SwedishMeatball93 super similar.. maybe thats why i dig explosions so much :]

[SwedishMeatball93]

@mothsnes Yeah they are good! I make music that is similair to this, check it out if you want too, it's all instrumental. :)

[mothsnes]

@SwedishMeatball93 i think i will :]

[manixinam]

agree 100% but maybe it's coinsidence ?

[KingLouisXXI]

Hmm..I recall an old episode of Tom and Jerry when they flew to Africa via plane..What an episode that was.

[chumbscrubber42]

reminds me of deftones a little

[naminekiari]

i agree

[23coldplay]

@chumbscrubber42 hells to tha yeah i agree with you

[06onequestion]

@chumbscrubber42

no way, EITS "fucking destroys"

[FormallyCrippled]

5\5 There's something about this video that i love. the sweet little innocence of these old cartoons juxtaposed with the intensity of the song by EITS.

[Collegelovr]

Does anyone know when the next EITS album is coming out??? The last one came out in 2007, so they are due for one soon ( I hope!!!)

[alexhoooo]

On their website they said that they were getting to work on a new album.

[Sinbadovic]

really cool idea for a video - loved it

[nhall]

5:34 was perfectly timed. and the video is awesome

[gloom3]

yeah man.

[TheSasha88]

cool stuff

[runts101]

I never would have thought much of this cartoon but the music gives it a seriously intenese vibe. With this song playing I find myself stepping back and watching it without my previous assumptions and find it to be more than a little... disturbing. These animators were on some serious shit.

[MAGXIFY]

estos son los tipos de videos que te obligan a pensar en cosas que te suceden, cosas que prohiben estar realmente bien, cosas que se tienen que desechar por que solo provocan un malestar mas en la sociedad actual.

[TheTrueChuckNorris]

5:12

Jerry gets ALL insanoflex super status

knockt the niggaz horse out an everything

got damn this song is the shit against this cartoon

[tundra1030]

Where have we come from........where are we going?

[skateordie24f]

It's weird, but the cartoon seems to have such a dark feeling when it's with the song.

[juxtaposehenry]

True. To me it feels like you're on your deathbed, reminiscing your childhood. Nostalgia's a killer.

[skateordie24f]

so true.

[hiddensob]

very beautiful track! thanks drosophila for showing it to me! :)

[shshking]

This is nice, the band's music, and the cartoon you put it over.
