Wild Nothing - Chinatown

[imabookie3]

A commentary on de Obama

[1963johndaly]

The dog ran off and stowed away aboard a tramp steamer to the far east but was deported upon arrival. Returning home the dog was miraculously reunited with the boy:) Unfortunately, whilst in the far east the dog had contracted rabies and in his excitement on seeing his master again he bit the boy and they were both killed :(

[sp8sp8]

perfect !

[indiehara]

patra einai to video panw skalia agiounikolaou?

[bryandrewp]

akibat main chapsa anjingnya kabur!

[Sonnysidee]

one of my favourite bands at the moment, such a different sound

[mandingo1]

19 dislikes? This song is perfect you bunch of stupid shit-brained twats!



[KatcanDraw245]

The dog obviously didn't approve of the kid gambling.

[jerojetw]

this is so so lovely a fan-made video. if could i would like to press the Like button one hundred times.

[russianObserver1986]

Это потрясающе, большое спасибо за хорошее настроение!

[nathanjamesbaker]

Videos like this are the reason why YouTube was invented.

[drako8642]

he washed the whole car for ONE quarter

[pierreerichexum]

this is largely based on a sample of La Pluie Du Ciel, a song performed by French yeye singer CHANTAL GOYA

[SpireaXY]

@pierreerichexum The intro is looped from The Rain but the songs don't sound alike. If Mark Ronson had heard French 'motown' instead of stealing from the US standards, at least his shit might have sounded original. Would still be shit obviously.

[blackwarb]

That moved me!! Anyway he found the dog, it was waiting for him in the garden in the morning:)

[S1B3R1A]

I love shoegaze, but I've only recently started to explore this gem of a genre. Any recommendations? Something along the lines of this and Radio Dept. would be awesome.

[pierreerichexum]

@S1B3R1A Slowdive, Minks, Beach Fossils (what a pleasure ep)

[foreverinthekitchen8]

@pierreerichexum Minks and Beach Fossils are amazing.

[S1B3R1A]

@pierreerichexum Thanks friend.

[ea847]

damn this movie is sad i wanna watch it

[ea847]

is this an old band or what?

[soldat182]

@ea847 nope new, but with a c86 type vibe

[kreig95]

@Unvorsum In America it would be the same if the dog was a bundle of money.

[bogsnorkling91]

[jennyklecka12]

" you gotta get off your ass and find that fucking dog" billy madison

[cbhnjok]

@jennyklecka12 ha?

[ChickieBlack]

this is my favorite video on youtube. ever.

[k7twenty2]

@ChickieBlack INDEED.

[Beezzz82]

such a good tune! in love:)

[redvelvet500]

I was playing Wild Nothing in my car the other day and my friend who listens to COUNTRY music was riding with me. She said, "Who is this? This is amazing." I felt so proud.

[foreverinthekitchen8]

@redvelvet500 I down voted you on accident sorry! haha I keep amazing music like this to myself, I know I really should share with the world but I'm selfish >:D I want to keep Wild Nothing all to my self and away from Justin Bieber hungry fans

[stevankamacho]

great song

mexico city°°°

[PurePessimism]

DID THE DOGGY DIED?

[shredtillyouredead1]

Why are there always pathetic arguments on good videos?

[unvorsum]

@matiasmusu Typical internet person. When are you going to stop taking things so seriously?

[Zeebo89]

LOVE THIS SONG BUT WHAT A TRAGIC VIDEO;(

[Wintly]

On a bad day this song takes me to a place where there's nothing to worry about. Life's good.

[jorokitty182]

this video actually made me cry

[4t2h0c]

umm im pretty sure the dog got eaten.. the name is called chinatown...

[DarFBaDeR]

@4t2h0c lol xD

[chacho6011]

his doggy never came back so sad.

[billip27]

love this song

[Kroaen]

Putain.. ce que j'aurais voulu les vivres ces années la...

Paris pendant les 30 glorieuses...

[sio5RCA]

tell me he found the fucking dog. please fucking tell me he did.

[ssggffxx]

@sio5RCA haha man i thought the same too but in the original the dog finds a new owner who needs him more, its sad but you feel good

[Voldy314]

@sio5RCA He does find his dog. He searches for it non-stop and never gives up. As soon as he begins to lose hope, he finds his very dog attached to the leash of an old blind man and the dog guides and helps him. He lets the dog go as the man needs the 'clown' more than him. It is a truly touching movie, especially seeing it only goes for 12 minutes.

[oliverscott2007]

@sio5RCA

He finds the dog! I just watched the full feature.

[musicforDRUMIES]

@oliverscott2007 where did you saw it?

[oliverscott2007]

@musicforDRUMIES

Right here on youtube.

Try a search for 'Clown 1969'

[BoydPattie]

@sio5RCA ahahaha!!! YESSSS!!

[pierreerichexum]

@sio5RCA you what happens to dogs in Chinatown?

[Kiddwaters23]

@sio5RCA the boy finds the dog, but with a new owner.. but he isn't sad.. he is more like relieved that hes okay and that hes happy

[shivadrishti]

@sio5RCA yes he finds him with a blind vagabond, and he decides to leave clown because the vagabond needs him :'(

[MiscTech]

Watch this video

Roll a cigarette

Play it again

Go to your window and listen to the song while smoking your cig a looking out at the street

[TerryKnowsBest]

I DIG this song to the Max! Good Music

[ThePhaelen]

awww, there it is!

[letsgotomagicland]

does he find the dog in the end? anyone?

[unvorsum]

Typical European film. "You do not find your dog; he is dead. Life is meaningless."

[yakobemil]

@unvorsum But isn't that real life?

[mreit28]

@unvorsum as opposed to the American version: "You do not find your dog; he is dead, but he gets to go to heaven because he spent his whole life hating gay people, and we know god rewards that. Hooray for life!"

[rijen4]

stupid comment. What do you really know about European film?

[unvorsum]

@rijen4 Stupid comment assumes I was being serious. And I really enjoy European film.

[parisienenItalie]

@unvorsum Wild Nothing are from the States

[unvorsum]

@parisienenItalie Does that mean Chinatown isn't in China?

[SirDrustanus]

@unvorsum continues to condescendingly smoke Gauloises

[blueblond1]

@unvorsum In that case, You've been watching some pretty shit European films you depressing knobhead lol

[unvorsum]

@blueblond1 I only watch the most depressing European films. But that doesn't necessarily mean they are shit, you optimistic son of a bitch!

[Natzfiction]

@unvorsum I'm from Europe and I like happy endings..

[billyridesadevice]

All around perfect, the scene is really sad, but fits well.

[mandingo1]

This song is perfect.

[acyanders]

Reminds me of the stones roses a bit. Good song.

[herbalhumanearth]

Its Hella Hard for a Dog to Sea A Kid Gamble.

[Kiddwaters23]

shoot id run away too if a kid named me clown.

[757TommyGun]

best song on acid

[VelocityOf]

@757TommyGun Get rid of 'on acid' and sure.

[DaftSwank]

The images, music, and lyrics to this tune (I looked 'em up) fit together nicely in this video. Only thing off is that the song's named "Chinatown" . . .

[ThrashIdolatry]

That short film somehow makes me sad, maybe because it fits perfectly to the song.

[viekampf]

est-ceque c'est une partie de la chanson de chantal goya?

[aetatissuae18]

@viekampf Yeah I think it's sampled from La pluie du ciel

[musicislife1909]

i love you video! you guy should give Rems Floating Chandelier a listen:)

[pmlsantos]

I almost cryied watching this! The video, the song absolute amazing and touching =)

[KisesFromHeaven]

I loooove this song!! Makes me so happy!

[ShannonOMazing]

[illustrious1689]

shannon...look at that boy...hes creepy

[fivesticks123]

Why does the dog run away!!!!!!?

[raunchybutthole]

This song reminds me of The Cures "a Forest". I don't know why.

[1boringkid]

[MrFeltone]

[lovesthebritsong]

For a straight week after I first heard this song litterally when ever i has about to fall asleep this song started playing in my head. o.O

[TevinxD]

Fuck Surveys.

[mavila117]

[bonzitoo76]

12 people have not feelings

[tracksuitjim]

the films on youtube. fuckin sad film lol relateable tho

[ricardillosk8]

cool video i like old movies

[specialxkae]

that dog had enough of it.

[MrJahkobo]

This is EPIC! But if i named my dog CLOWN, i would think he would run away from me far far away and never return.

[TheBeansie]

So Sad :.(

[atherforhire]

The original short film is available in archive.org or a simple google search. All I will say about the original is that it has a very different ending than the music video.

[clairejeans]

10 seems to be quite the number lately, eh? @metromedia dude. I did cry.

[maquon]

better than 80% of what's popular today!

[clairejeans]

Aw. What a sweet video. The little boy is super cute in his hat and boots. Poor baby. I hope his pooch comes back home. Nice tune too. Thank you for uploading this!

[goszaaa]

What a cute little boy!

[mikezor1]

best shit i've seen on youtube!

[OhGaspersItsBen]

Did you actually add an "old film" gradient to this? It's so distracting.

[choklitbar]

What a likeabe song.. Or more like adorable.

[lifesart1]

this made my day so nice and innocent :)!



[bloodxalibi]

I can never get sick of this song.

Wild Nothing for the win.

[doofuslarge]

The full version of the short film has a better ending. Search "Clown" by Richard Balducci.

[MrMetroMedia]

This was really sad... I almost cried. Why did the dog not meet up with the boy again!?!? I guess thats what happens to your dog when you gamble...

[freund111394]

What are the lyrics to this song? i looked at like 5 different websites and there are two variations of words.:C I want the correct words. baahhh

[MA3POLO]

Sad short film.

[phaedrus1211]

China town without chinese, btw the video recall me the cityscape of Hong Kong

[Romano91]

did i just realize that my innocence passed away?

[tingyuyan12]

so the scene isn't real?

[johnproyal]

@tingyuyan12 No, its an imaginary scene.

[MrRhymeasaurus]

The second this started I just began smiling and that smile lasted well after the song ended

[reuelalvarez]

i wanna put this song in a walnut shell and watch it float down a river.

[celinioidd]

[joshajith]

[manuel8200]

@joshajith STOP WITH THAT KIND OF JOKES.

[HamSandwich09]

Something changed in me when I heard this.

[d1ggitydan]

[MissJ1nsu]

I wanna smoke this song.

[dos21977]

Aw, poor kid. :( Great song btw, just LOVE the whole dream pop/shoegaze revival. I know its been there/done that, but......EH, who cares. :) Great song.

[gabiicampii2014]

[lilylawly]

@gabiicampii2014 thats what i wanted to know too!

[jlongu]

Ah, the luxury in sorrow. I'm addicted to melancholy music, is something wrong with me? BTW, video clip is an excellent pairing. Well done.

[trashywilma]

You can actually watch the short film "Clown" on YouTube and find out the reason his dog runs away. Love the song, too.

Isn't the same thing?

;)

[cherrytopx]

Ohhh nooo love the song but the video is so sad I wanted him to find his dog :0(

[Soulbirdful]

Sometimes it's not like we planned.

We need to leave what do we cling!

To find happiness.

[TheValleho]

WHY AM I CRYING?!

[MrJjclark1]

@TheValleho because ur a stupid fuck

[1234P3R]

@TheValleho I swear to god I'm crying too!!!

[BryonieIV]

I love this song, I keep playing it on repeat. Sad video though, I was hoping that dog would come back at the end.

[maikzons]

this is kinda funny. when i only hear the music i get a feeling of sitting on a sunny saturday with my friends in a park drinking beer and laughing and life's just fine, but when i watch the video and hear the music i get sad and i feel bad for the poor boy.

[angievigilante]

I think I have found what I was looking for.

[golfgrisbear]

Cool song. Never heard it before, but I like it. They sound like Sea Wolf.

[hopskipjumprecords]

i like this song! it's been stuck in my head for quite a while, but i can't complain.

[mreit28]

1:59 - megaman ftw

[RrrrNatasha]

I love everything about this song. Lyrics, beat, and how it all works together.

[trashywilma]

It's repetitive, but it's good enough to be repetitive. This is my current dose of daily crack.

[Mobius288]

hipster garbage imo

[aznxdope]

@Mobius288 Then get the fuck out fag, this world doesn't need anymore of you. Go listen to some mainstream shit...

[PronounceCatastrophe]

@aznxdope oh my god, dude. Are you one of those fucking hipster shits who think everything mainstream is terrible? I, honestly, do not listen to mainstream all that much, but I'm not going to say it's SHIT. You give "hipsters" a bad name. Screw yourself.

[treegrowth]

@Mobius288 gurl, bye.

[TheFate23]

@Mobius288 fuck you

[Fred66613]

undiluted brilliance

[elliaahaa]

I can't start the day without this song.

[carliboy908]

I need, I need blah blah

[mynameisnat1]

Perfect choice of sample video. Well done.

[phai619]

[canasabbath]

2:18 looks like my little brother (: awww

[rycal1]

That song makes me happy.

[Ginyera]

The voice, music and mood reminds me of The Stone Roses- I wanna be adored.

[omgstfudavid]

@Ginyera duude yea it does

[MrYarith]

rly special .. i like

[hybridtechowns]

aww, poor kid lost his dog

[Merseywirral]

@hybridtechowns Yeah but did you see how fast the dog ran as soon as the kid wasn't looking. Obviously the kid was secretly evil.

[jamsolid]

@Merseywirral It's hard for a dog to see a kid gamble.

[nataliemb89]

@jamsolid I scrolled down to browse comments and that was completely unexpected - I laughed when I saw the dog's expression after reading that. GREAT comment.
