Radiolab and NPR Present Words

[aredhel16]

its PERFECT

[Rulerofwax24]

play, blow, break, split, rip, run, fly, fall, light, space.

[whitefang514]

@Rulerofwax24 I realised that too and wanted to see if anyone else noticed!

[Rulerofwax24]

@whitefang514 I wasn't even the one to notice it! The first few times I saw this, I thought that each clip was suppose to transition from one word to another between clips, but then I saw something like what I posted as the top comment. After coming back now, and seeing it was gone, I decided to recreate it for anyone else who didn't know what it was suppose to be.

[andy60523]

Inspiring.

[xoxoxteddyxoxox]

This seems like a dream...

[jltho92]

[cordeep]

[iambored678]

[TheBangstun]

[ADPaul12]

wow this was an absolutely incredible viewing experience. I mean I hear and interpret so many thousands of noises every damn day. The great things that I have come to cherish are my words because they are the epitome of all sounds.

[ashleylloyd8]

" I Waste too Much Time." ?

[ashleylloyd8]

I had a big smile when it got to the bird and plane.

Looks like it was trying to follow it's dreams. :)

[bijufroglett]

This was amazing, I loved following the flow of the words, and the homophones <3

[bubblewandd]

This kinda blew my mind.

[sexypotterhead]

[awallace2992]

LOL'ed when the "unforgivable" guy made an appearance

[Tigerlova15]

If aliens were to come, we should show them this :D

[MindlessDramas]

I understand it's showing words...but what's the overall point of this video?

[elquicko]

It took me a while to get this... be honest, it took you a while too.

[ShadowOfTheMetroid]

How beautiful...

[Sims2Gal1]

[FooFooFlower]

I get the feeling this means more than I think it does. Anyone care to explain?

[Forkroute]

@FooFooFlower Google "Metaphors We Live By"

[metroid1003]

The ending always gives me the chills.

[servedraw]

Makes me think of The Books.. <3

[zetoxicdecay]

[doodlehh]

Oh!

[ThomasTheTank142]

[Mootilated]

@ThomasTheTank142 ah, all these actions are explaining 8 words Play, Blow, Break, Split, Run, Fly, Fall, Light and Space - watch it again, you will get it eventually

[meeroar]

o. m. g. i loved it

[MsEmmsss]

This is so inspiring. That people can make this amazing video out of little daily things. This is one of the moments I realize I should cherish what every day brings.

[TurtleScoop]

I actually wanted this to go on forever.

[dramamajor1220]

i first thought fall in love

[bluemonkjd]

Full coat of goosebumps. It's almost too much.

[eggrokks]

when my English teacher showed this to us, my mind was blown.

[BaybeeZazz]

Goosebumps.

[michiganman1992]

@pu1itzer : I thought it was fall in love

[Jessitheboar]

@michiganman1992

I agree, it is fall in love, that's why there's the boy next to her :)

[Daniel32392]

@Jessitheboar it's falling asleep cause she fell asleep :p i think...

[timothyfaddenanthro]

@pu1itzer : fall asleep.

[pu1itzer]

Can someone explain 1:58 for me and how the word 'fall' applies to it?

[ToxicLove1996]

@pu1itzer As in falling in love or falling for someone~ :)

[anteggma]

@pu1itzer falling asleep

[JUANJRB]

[mollaaaa]

OMG :O i felt my brain stretching out to absorb the amount of creativity in this video! i'm Stunned! Brilliant =)

[AvaZeldaKakes]

This has so much meaning and beauty to it. From just a few words, a few people, and some cameras. This is true beauty.

[CranberrieJuicyJuice]

Well what the hell was that about?

[xXGuNLeSSXx]

1:43 l0l

[leofracassi]

[trailertrashrnr]

radiolab has done with video what they have done with radio. Made me think

[Skaman007]

Fall in love always makes my eyes happy with tears.

[mushuplus]

did they cut out the bj?

[enlargemedia]

Radiolab videos are so deep and complex yet so simply presented. I love them all!

[saveriope]

A fly is not always a fly

[Thefrenchrevolt]

Every time i have creative block, i come back to this video for inspiration.

[juliairomano]

Joy.

[diana94881]

[DodecahedronIM]

this should be played every morning, everywhere.

[BogusKiwi]

Genius

[ILikePieAndSoda]

HOW DO PEOPLE COME UP WITH THESE IDEAS... THIS IS TRUE TALENT!!!

[HelloKellen]

@ILikePieAndSoda art school, my friend.

[AllegraEpstein]

genius.

[JayChanged]

play (play the horn -> blow the horn) blow (blow dryer breaks) break (breaking tv while split up) split (to split=to start running) run (runway -> flight) fly (flight of falling piano) fall (falling feather=light) light (starlight in space) space (spacebar pauses) pause (video ends)

[hunglikehuang]

This feels like a dream. One thing connecting to another, but loosely, in rapidly changing scenes.

[darupi]

I love that moment: 2:14

[corazondepegatina]

@darupi also my favourite!!

[sae887]

its like play spitz fall run blow break light stuff like that

[JoaoBirkhoff886]

Get the audio from this clip at searchripgrab doht cohm.

[DodecahedronIM]

Amazing.



[virtualcircuit]

I just listened to the radiolab podcast about words and watched this immediately afterwards. Its really beautiful in that context.

[wehauck3]

Outstanding... Marketing with Meaning!

[NICOGROOVEdotCOM]

Concept = A

Execution = A

Beauty work.

[Udderming]

Wow so deep... lol jk I don't get it.

[djsleeper]

THIS SHOULD BE CALLED "METAPHORS" INSTEAD OF "WORDS"

-STEP1

AMAZING!

[AlexPiti5]

@djsleeper It's what we use words for, with a literal or metaphorical meaning. So...

[drumjoey]

Its visual structured improv. 

[drumjoey]

Watching this, to me, is like hearing Jerry Garcia play at the end of Eyes of the world.

[smokygouda]

Yeah, it was about when I noticed "run away" transitioned to "runway" that I realized something more was going on. I love you, Radiolab, and the words episode is AMAZING.

[DoctaGmn]

It's an original score by Keith Kenniff, it says so in the description...

just check out the website mentioned in the description cus it won't let me link it here

[jdaemaens]

they got rid of the scene where the girl is blowing the guy... and youtube or the user edited it out... what bullshit. it wasn't even explicit.

[joshua237]

curious to know what the music is...

[Lasospexosa]

reminds me to the butterfly effect and makes me think

love it

[gomiker]

play blow break split run fly fall light space

[mehedmb]

What is this I don’t even

[TheLongHolidays]

It's a perfect supplement to the radio broadcast.  It's so simple, profound and emotional.

-Jim of The Long Holidays

[garymofoak]

the only reason I favd this is for the I've fallen and I can't get up lady

[7Merlin]

There is not much sense in this video for a non-English speaker, and just a little sense for a non-native English speaker like myself. After reading words associations, posted by other people it finally becomes interesting.

[cjl227]

I could never like this enough times to show how much I love it.

[s4m112211]

Great work, lots of emotions, if not all of them.

[ahomevideoonline]

0:53

that part gives me a chill

[andreadutra]

awesome

[RandomProductions143]

This video sent chills down my spine. Simply amazing.

[mpalley62292usf]

the asian girl is like shit! not again haha

[carouselambra7]

38 people don't like words.

how could you not like words??

[livebigly]

@carouselambra7 I think they like words, but not puns.

[PilotRyanProductions]

I love the ATC transmission at 1:30

[Capta1n0bv10us]

How many of you watched the video and tried to not translate what was occurring into lingual terms? Every time I watch this, my brain jumps in with a...well...word interpretation. [brainseesfeatherfallingbasedo­npreviousscenefeatherislight..­.lightasafeatherwhatsfordinner­ineedtotrimmyfingernailsdoinee­dahaircutlightasafeather]

Is there anyone out there, a non English speaker, or perhaps deaf person, who has viewed this, and what are your thoughts? What do you interpret?

[nicesoundz]

@Capta1n0bv10us

Sincerely, as non English speaker, my efforts were made in order to understand the correct expression or way of saying used in English.

How easy it is in english! A few words for all of that! :-)

[Malucodemez]

How do you get 37 dislikes on such an amazing video?

[scienceshoew]

@Malucodemez My guess is that some people don't know how to deal with stuff on the internet that is simply straight up and sincere; maybe people are afraid to trust their own judgement on that sort of stuff, figure it probably isn't cool enough, and dislike it as a defence mechanism.

Or they just don't like it. Their loss either way.

[Malucodemez]

@scienceshoew So right. It's just amazing to me that no matter what you do, somebody is not going to like it. Especially with something as beautiful as this!

[kamisamaone]

play / blow / break / split / run / fly / fall / feather / light / space.

[LanceDirk]

Wow, didn't get it until I read that comment. I feel retarded.

[foxpapa92]

So inspiring. The music, the pictures. Beautiful. Message of peace, of humanity. Everything, everyone is linked. This video gives me smile during this rainy day. "I'm gonna run away. I'm serious, I'm gonna run away". ^^

Thank you so much for the creators of this little movie.

[oly11oli]

@foxpapa92 people like this who made the video are the ones who are making the world a better place. one day at a time. life is just wonderful

[foxpapa92]

@oly11oli We are all responsable to make this world a better place. Each moment can be magic. We all have a chance : we are alive. Thanks for your comment. I bought the music and when I'm listening to it, in the street, the subway, at the office, it gives me smile. :)

[shineyteeth]

This really is amazing.

[xXShadoeXx]

don't watch this blown or you'll trip too hard on life

[MagnesiumMichael]

does anyone understand the last transition from lightning to space?

[SlammDunkin]

@MagnesiumMichael light years

[zmoney682]

@MagnesiumMichael lights out?

[MagnesiumMichael]

The first time I saw this I actually didn't understand the homonym aspect. I just really loved it for it's style. The sound is phenomenal. The second time I watched it I appreciated it so much more for the concept.

[snoboardgrl12]

What song was used in this? It's such a moving video..

[513769]

Is not a Blow Job. Its an expression when u leave your pants open that your thing will fly. =)

[Tanavids]

@513769 LOL no - a zipper is called a fly, silly. :)

[HimuraKenshin119]

@shitcock86 first of all.. wth with ur username... second this may be boring to some but ui cannot deny the fact that its fantasticaly made

[adomastautkus]

the blowjob scene creates the crucial "out-of-my-comfort-zone" moment, and once you've seen that version this version does not have the same engagement. put it back it.

[kapsi]

@adomastautkus There should be shitting on and raping babies scene too, what art!

[flymyfinger]

very nice i might say
