I think this is the first Mogwai song I heard, and I became a fan immediately! I have yet to see them live, though. Also, this is great gettin' drunk music. I don't know how it is getting stoned to.... yet ;)
i casually discovered mogwai last sunday, and this is their first song i've heard..it captured me immediately..maybe if it was another of their songs it wont be happen, don't know, but i'm happy i heard this as first song
@milosaerials I just discovered them today as I accidentally stumbled over their live performance of 'xmas steps'!....
It totally feels like I've just fell down into a goldmine, and right now I'm greedily trying to get as much gold from this mine as possible.... Frankly I just took everything I could find on spotify and dropped it into a Mogwai dedicated playlist
I listened to this song for the first time today but yet it sounds so familiar, like I may have heard it somewhere before; perhaps not. Nonetheless it's a great, mellow song. I like it.
it's all about technology vs Human ... as much as we get more tech , we get much more possibilities to harm on each other ... and all seems to be a threat as long as we get on this way... this is paranoid heaven
does this song have any lyrics? on wikipedia it says that somebody sings on this one but i can't find the lyrics and i would like to read them. so... anybody?
Some flies are innocent, and some are not. The ones who are not become this way because innocent flies being killed. So why take a risk and not kill all of them.
A lot of ppl get this video wrong lately. I don't know why suddenly some of you think it's about usa vs. taliban, which it is definitely not. Though I made it after 9/11 I never thaught about the fly being a suicide terrorist. I know it's easy to look at it that way but the origin of the idea was quite different. I am not very political and I don't want to make a statement about new world vs old world. It's just flies vs humans and a different way to look at the song's title.
@qubecommander ..wow people take stuff way too seriously if they are trying to make this about 9/11. Why can't people just take it for what it is and not try to decipher everything...sad.
@qubecommander Yeah that's pretty funny how the media plants these things in peoples' heads and they take it everywhere with them, in and out of context.
@qubecommander Wow. You made this? I thought it was an official Mogwai video. I've watched this clip a few times and never read the comment 'til now. Great job.
@qubecommander People are a little too touchy and jump to conclusions nowadays. Especially YouTubers. Great video and song, by the way. It's my first time listening to Mogwai and I found this to be a very interesting take on it. Good job.
It would have been nice for you to pan out and show the guys body in the elevator dead and all. Or show people controlling the flies at the end detonating the flies
@locustskater rotoscoped. i forgot the title of the original b-movie. i didn't watch it in real time only fast forward. it was about elevators killing ppl or something. nothing i would recommend ^^
Someone wants to kill all the flies. The flies have had enough and strike back with suicide bombing. A clear analogy to the war in Iraq or something to do with flies.
Great video, and all great videos deserve a great song, and so this has come to find one so great it makes all other music seem bleak and boring... Sigh... The worst thing is... I know i have the CD with it somewhere... I just have a nasty feeling that my sister might have taken it... I so miss this music :'(... God its been to long...
This is not the best scottish band ever...this is ONE of the best scottish bands ever... Don't forget cocteau Twins and The Jesus And Mary Chain...and, some guys called Belle & Sebastian hehe...
This song simply seems to be about human nature. We destroy the things belowe use because we feel they are inferior. Even while this is true, the thing beneath us can always strike back. Moral of the story: Be nice :)
The message is that if we keep killing insects (pesticides), this imply that we are killing our health and hence our selves. Awesome music / video clip / message
amazing video and amazing song... so much heart in both.. it touches me in some primal ways... truth is excellence. bring down big business one fly at a time.. love it.
theyr actually really nice guys. got to go backstage with another band whilst they were playing in bristol and me and my mate had a chat with the bassist and he was really awesome and invited us in the dressing room and stuff. I bet they just dont have alot of time. im sure they appreciated it.
Nicely done, my friend. I haven't had the privilege of seeing Mogwai live yet, I missed them by hours in Singapore in January (still very pissed about that one).. but I will see them!
Wow, that is a very amazing video. I'm a film student, who has at least a bit of flash experience, and this is wow.... I hated flash, but this makes me reconsider possibilities. Even from a film stand point, this is excellent. Good job!
im very impressed. seems like something they'd do. well done!
