Just War - feat Gruff Rhys

[indigospumante]

The video and song mixed great!

[yuh66h]

been stuck in my head for 2 days...

[AlTheSyco]

how does this not have more views?

[WOLVOSTONER]

Man this song is so beautiful, it just makes me think, whats the fucking point of all this war and utter bollocks? Lybia, Afganistan, Iraq, wherever else that the govenment are looking to bomb, WHY man, WHY? I dont want to be "the last survivor crawling through the dust" Everyone should take a minute or two and think, its not needed, we should all just chill the fuck out

[charljenky29]

gruff is the coolest person in the world

[WOLVOSTONER]

@charljenky29 gruff is defo the coolest person ever

[Eyepiercings]

[ssballs]

Check out pictures of matchstick men/Status Quo.1968.

[uadantheman]

damn blue matches.... always startin shit

[TanksterX]

Wow...just discovered Sparklehorse now this?!....what a day.  Frederik Teige, Sparklehorse and Dark Night......amazing!!!

[superhappyfunlandman]

its saying no one wins in the end so we should just all get together smoke some pot and sing..... but not all gay like you know.

[PePethegamesmaker]

Oh I get it. Match stick men!

[amlwje]

Konflikt =D

I love this song and the video!!!!

[boldkingcole]

The song is just gorgeous, you've timed the video editing perfectly.

[gorrionalvuelo]

Isn´t it one of the most beautiful songs of the last 10 years?

[charljenky29]

why do people even go to war? they have massive memorial services for people who died in the war, and it's all really sad, so why are people still killing each other? can't they solve things over a chat and a cup of tea?

[charljenky29]

That's amazing.

[readifer]

this song is so great.

[mulraymanners]

R I P Mark Linkous.

[susolsusol]

well mixed

[meldamw]

@susolsusol he's my second cousin

[charljenky29]

@meldamw who is?

[charljenky29]

@meldamw who is? are you talking about gruff?

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 Yeah, Gruff Rhys is my second cousin. It was supposed to be a reply to christinaluvsvintage.

[charljenky29]

@meldamw woah. I'm a bit jealous, to be honest.

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 Ha. I've only ever met him once though. Gutteeed.

[charljenky29]

@meldamw at least you've met him though. Sometimes when I'm in Cardiff I'm like "I wonder if I'll see Gruff." I never sees him though.

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 True. Haa sweet. He came to my house. I bet you're jealous now ;) He wanted to ask my mum something about his family and stuff before going to Patagonia for filming Seperado. My mum and sister got to go to the premier. So you from Wales?

[charljenky29]

@meldamw yeah I am. Are you?

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 Yeeep. Siarad cymraeg?

[charljenky29]

@meldamw Tipyn bach. a ti?

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 Cymraeg ydy'n iaith gynta i. Prin yn siarad saesneg fel arfer. O le w ti'n dod?

[charljenky29]

@meldamw Llanharry, by Cardiff. I can't remember how to say "by" in welsh so I just said it in English.

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 No worries. It's "ger". Or "wrth ymyl". Anywayyy.

[charljenky29]

@meldamw haha yeah. So are you from North Wales?

[meldamw]

@charljenky29 Yep. Near Bala. Live in the middle of nowhere basicaly.

[charljenky29]

@meldamw ah right.

[CHRISTINALUVSVINTAGE]

i have a crush on gruff

[Chickeneggsandwich]

I think the animation came on its own before the tune was added.. they accompany each other beautifully

[levmyshkin]

Indeed, the animation was created by Garry Bardin in 1982. I mixed it to the song. I have a link with more details in the infobox. Thanks for your comments!

[Chickeneggsandwich]

excellent work mate, combined with bill oreilly remix, you have touched different ends of a spectrum!

[OriginOfOpinion]

What`s the Song`s Name?

[levmyshkin]

@OriginOfOpinion

[OriginOfOpinion]

What's the Songs Name?

[CitizenNotCivilian]

@OriginOfOpinion "Just War" is the name of the song.

[interpolluter29]

@OriginOfOpinion Excuse the confusion. The song is "Just War" The band is Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse.

[hellomynameisty]

Sick video. Though war isn't always pointless, it often is, but sometimes it's necessary, but it's never right.

[chungalungas]

The video isnt tryng to be sick but to try to get people to understand if we dont end war, war will end us

[dreadyloxx]

Great Movie, I favorited you bro.

[Oblivitan]

This just shows how pointless war is

[postothes]

wow! i ve seen this video on tv when i was a kid and i was so astonished! OMG what did u reminded me now..... one of the things that made me starting realizing some stuff back then...

[electroforpresident]

i adore this

good work!

[AurynThePaladin]

tripped out.  nice vid.

[chungalungas]

The blue guys are mean! :(

[KaizerHiwatari]

Huh... strange.

People who are arguing: shut up.

[RoboInvisaBunny]

That was very powerful. I like it. Thanks for posting.

[mmensinger]

pimp video, i likey!

[dochaynes123]

Five stars.

If I could I would have given you ten.

doc

.

[dochaynes123]

Those who's heads are made of sulfur should not throw fire?

[TheoneandonlyGTA]

That's why you don't play with matches kids!

[powerx]

Obviously it is a clear demonstration of "man's inhumanity to matches" uhm 'man"...! lol

[JohnnyZina]

great vid

[smellyface101]

The Blue match sticks are ass holes!

[dochaynes123]

lol

[liftmedown001]

This is an amazing video. It shows how a misunderstanding or an innocent fact, when mistaken as aggression, can produce other violent aggressions. Which themself produce wars, which again produce deaths of always more and more people. And in the end noone wins. It goes simply. It's awful.

[CrackerAssHillbilly]

i think the message is 1 ass hole can cause a war

[BeatlesFan1492]

I think what he is trying to tell us is that all matches are evil. Thanks for the message. I will never buy match sticks again.

[SpahnRanch1969]

Very well done. 5 Stars.

[crazzydiana4ever]

that was amazing.

[LovetheRainbow]

Interesting video. It reminds me of the Berlin wall when Germany got divided in two.

[Gresh85]

Oh if war were only that simple....vote Obama

[nrev79]

*Beavis* yeah yeah FIRE FIRE FIRE FFFIIIIRRREEE

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Rockerboy2007]

OMG... so good..

[XxRedPhenomxX]

Hey, really great job on this! It symbolizes war in such a simple, yet sophisticated manner. Awesome.

[PunisherCB1]

FUCK GREEN BLUE FTW

[XxRedPhenomxX]

lol

Nice.

[BDubrasky]

amazing video.

[boeing74700]

THIS, now this is an example of what will happen with Korea, and America! Within the next few years. Battle with infantry untill one of them sends a nuclear bomb. Then the whole world will start, and everyone dies.

[dagnut]

I'm ready I have motor cycle and a leather jacket..I've been stock piling petrol for the last 10 years..get in some adventures mad max style. Should be fun.

[aldurthedrowshade]

It's not petrol, asshat. It's either electrical, gas, or diesel. lrn2fuel

[dagnut]

What?

[aldurthedrowshade]

Idk

[dagnut]

I'll say again ..what?

[aldurthedrowshade]

Are you fucking retarded?

[dagnut]

That's the retarded test is it? you post up "ldk" and I'm supposed to know what that means am I?

I doubt anyone knows what ldk means..but no doubt your an arrogant American piece of dogshit who thinks everyone should understand their drivel by right.

[trackodemon]

it means"i don't know"

[dagnut]

he's still a prick

[aldurthedrowshade]

how do you not know what idk means, you dumb fuck?

[dagnut]

Because I speak English moron not in acronyms.

I love the irony in the fact your calling me a dumb fuck for not understanding some acronym and yet you can't even phrase your sentence correctly.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Durr, this is the internet, fucktard. I might as well go up to a new yorker and hear them tell me they don't know what the statue of liberty is. And, point in fact, you're no longer speaking, so learn the fucking language, you dumb cunt.

[dagnut]

Brilliant, another mess of a sentence with less than 20 words and 4 commas! This is gold mate keep it coming.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Look at you trying to grow a pair.

[dagnut]

Is that it ? is that your best response? Ah this gets even better.

[aldurthedrowshade]

I'm so glad, that I can, provide, the mentally handicapped ki,d with commas, so that he, may learn what a, real, master of the, english, language, can do.

also: u shure bring a lot of failtroll to the table, don't u?

[Chickeneggsandwich]

@aldurthedrowshade

i love that while arguing in a totally trivial way, in the background plays this video, something which bemoans humanity's general failures and the inability to ever attain a truly copacetic state of being. the internet reflects this inescapable paradigm perfectly.

[tatelabianca]

beautifully put, my friend. cheers

[chungalungas]

No one said you had to like it jackass!

[dochaynes123]

Does it really matter if he is retarded?

 Really?

BTW: Are you retarded aldurthedrowshade? Not that it really matters.

Only YOU can stop wildfires.

Smokey the Bear taught me that gem of wisdom.

Great video. Thanks. Keep it up regardless of the trolls.

doc

.

[aldurthedrowshade]

Oh you, trying to act smart by posing a question that brings my intellect into doubt. You know how I can tell who is an idiot? When said person tries to take the intellectual high ground with rhetorical questions and ZOMG CAPS WORDS!!!ONE1

It's a shame stupidity isn't painful...

I look forward to your next inane comment.

Inb4 "hurr dis is my last post i dun respond to trolls durr" which means "Fuck, I can't seem to take by my stupidity so I'll act superior, hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

[roeas29]

@aldurthedrowshade

not all countries call it gas, in australia we call it petrol too. don't attack someone just because someone else's country's use of words is slightly different to yours.

great video btw, really touching.

[nextredlight]

@dagnut doesnt petrol go bad after a certain amount of time?

[dagnut]

@nextredlight I hope not...

[retnuHDJ]

This video makes me sad. Seeing the simplicity of what a war is can be shocking.

It is the perfect metaphor for war.

[Xylogeist]

Reminds me of liberal propaganda for some reason...

[MrMrReno]

This video sends a very good message, 5 stars.

[nyckillaheat]

5 stars

[JESSICALEE1221]

i enjoyed this

[Xylogeist]

Lawlz WTF? xD

[FriscoBrisk]

i didnt know mtahces came in any other color than red

[crazzydiana4ever]

lmao~

[WhitePlek]

the video is disturbing

[7atletica7]

Wow! That was really good!

[containsmediumpeople]

I was going for the blues, but they started it?

[gervangproductions]

very very very good video, im glad to see an actualy well thought out video on youtube... it just makes my day.

[EoThorne]

Very well done. Very good subjects for the video.

[MrBadham]

I think the message is not that blue or green were at fault, but rather that match sticks are evil. I'm going to get rid of all of my matches. Thank you for your lesson.

[defendingthekingdom]

Hilarious!

[sarahluesel]

I agree: Blue is at fault ;-).

Brilliant. Thank you for that.

[pastiewhitelightning]

Man I have looked everywhere to download this. I cant find one );

[bennymutant]

Mark is a genius

[zephyrsociety]

This is really amazing.

[roojames]

I'm crying like a fool after this

[JayHallenz]

Really great anti-war video!

[budgethemusicsponge]

Well Matched!! Ha Ha! :)

[budgethemusicsponge]

Hats off to you sir! Great pairing!

[citizengreene]

There's no such thing as Just War.

[gyoza1138]

fantastic. thanks for making a legit video to match a great  song that so many will never hear.

[aidencurl]

that was just....awsome :O

[jasonguyperson]

blue is clearly at fault. lol

very good job!! 5*

[styx123456]

Incredible. This video deserves an Arts award of some kind.

[HamerD]

how the fuck did you do that wow

[thedude77777]

wheres bob oreilly?

[bovlch]

America is the blue, and the middle east is the green.

[pkoholic]

No, because it's green that has more troops... I think it's that one person pushes America and everyone dies because America overreacts.

[cldmafia]

I don't think either side stands for a specific nation. Just a commentary on the foolishness of war.

[MrJackhammer]

that was brilliant

[OMEGA2669]

Wow...

[FarmersSpirit]

very creative and playful way to describe such an awful topic. I like it.

[Pavel1234]

Awesome job on this.

[ediblepet]

the blue side is clearly at fault for initiating aggression

[Muthatrucka46]

^ this is a good example of why both sides end up burned. fingerpointing resolves nothing.

[spydog56]

Beautiful video, great work, great message

[ShotgunK2]

Good work.

[churchmn]
