I think this song tells a story of being individuals, as can be seen when the girls in yellow come parading in and circle the girls in pink. The two girls look a bit intimidated by the fact that they are surrounded by malevolent girls in yellow. Then they're able to get away from them, meaning they break that fear of being ostracized for being different. Then they move on. At least, that's my take on it.
I like the song but I think the video was good until the guys came into the picture. I would've preferred girl girl at the end...SO this video lost me when they left that gym.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am not saying they are good but im not saying they are bad. Here a lot people say they are good but this is one band i just don't want to listen too.
AG is pure genius. how he comes up with so many different types of music is beyond me. he's a true master of the the synth, right up there with Gary Numan, Thomas Dolby etc.
its a little hard to watch for some reason it reminds me of all the bitter breakups and long distance friends but the awesomeness is too hard to ignore
oh wow, i totally didnt see this as a commentary about orientattion at all. i thought they were just really chummy and affectionate and then met some guys. guess i was too caught up in the colors and cheestastic awesomeness of it all. *loved it*

Awe I thought they were gay.. lol anywho, I love the video :) Really good. I really did think the meaning of the video was how it must be to face hate and discrimination from the people around you if you're different but once they kissed the guy I simply lost track. The whole point kinda just vanished.
I agree. Love the video, love the song, love the Big Lebowski reference. I just don't like the way they edited it. Would it have been that much of a problem to leave it at full length? I really think the editing takes away the expansiveness of the song.
'Though I liked this song from the first time I heard it, it has really grown on me since. Great tune from a fine group. The full album cut is better, but for a 'single edit' (to shorten the track length), it was pretty well done.
They sound a lot (only in this album) like Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and also Human League. Nice effort but I want them to go back to the intricately layered guitars sound of "Dead Cities, Red Seas & ..." and "Before the Dawn Heal Us". Anthony Gonzalez is a real genious in the studio creating those soundscapes that made me like this band so much. BTW I just saw them tonight here in NYC and they were great.
my fav genre is indie. and there is a lot of good bands. but i choose to focus on this group. and the reason for that is that M83 are special. their materials are amazing and they arent recycling tunes. this song is AMAZING, and the rest of the new album is amazing too.
Like most, I can't believe that thistrack came out THIS YEAR. It's like DepMo/ JoyDivision/FlkSgls decided to come out of hiding, dust off the synthesizers, break out the pencil thin ties, and recreate their 80's sound. Great video - what's hotter than dueling rollerblade gangs?
I must say it again and again, this track is so breathtaking. It's like dying and going to heaven. SO chilling and deeply infectious, beyond words. I have been listening to this so much since I heard it over a week ago. I can't thank you enough for this masterpiece of music and lyrics. And most of all, extremley deep emotion + THANK YOU *****
Im sorry but i dont even remember what i said. Its been ever sense i wrote a comment on here. The reason why i hate the video and song, no offense is caz they played it every 5 minutes on tv, haha Just my opinion, calm down !!
ooookk...Sorry I thought you wrote it just a little bit ago or something. I'm sorry I came off on you like that. I just think they're an awesome band, and this is a truly great song. I didn't know this used to be on T.V. I just discovered this band 2 days ago, but I still think they're cool. lol
Itz cool, Im use 2 getting hostel beat down haha. And Yea diz song was on tv everytnight... and they played it so much.... but thanks i apppolige too.....
