Brilliant!!....you think it's over for him, and there's a wry smile on his face and BANG!!....give it to the man!....I wonder if there is something against SAAB drivers in this clip, he get's hit by 2, if not the same one, and when he takes off his coat, there is closeups of a SAAB?...few issues with which way traffic is driving when he gets hit head-on too... but still, LOVE SHADOW....seen him live a few times....brilliant
as far as i knw its about politics in the uk or in general the uprising of the little man to be knocked down again and again until finally uprising and the little man is no more but a voice ot be heard throughout.
the coat is a metaphor for a mediocre physical law and secular limitations, once he finally takes it off he transcends his holdings and he is able to make miracles because he is free, Beautiful stuff
im still deciding wether the guy who slows down and asks where he's going was trying to be nice and give him a lift or like batter him or something but anyway wow .. powerful video
fat bloody finger sucking out your soul thin rubber gloves your crying when your laughing you laugh when your crying caught between stations butterfingers I'm loosing my patience a rabbit in your headlights christianised suburbanised fat bloody fingers sucking out your soul
I'm stuck in this bed thin rubber gloves she laughs when shes crying she cries when shes laughing fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away... caught between stations butterfingers I'm loosing my patience I'm a rabbit in your headlights Christian suburbanite fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...
i think, and i may be worng, is that no matter how mad people think you are and no matter how many times they push you to the ground if you get back up and believe in yourself they cannot stop you
I think that that is pretty accurate, but I would like to add one thing: You can let life, people and the world push you to the ground and treat you like crap, or you can realize that none of them matter, what they think is moot, and that you are the most powerful person in your world. You can make yourself invincible, but only if you believe yourself to be invincible.
Continuance of my commment: I'm awfully sorry for you, that your life sucks that much that your only release is to go online and try to insult people you don't even know, just to make feel better. Sorry to disappoint you, but you just make me laugh!:D
First time ever to post comment on youtube- I was, in the beginning, looking for high&dry Bilal sang on., Fortunately, so luckily, end up with this video. Damn...
I think he doesn't say anything. He just smiles because he knows that his moment has come... IF he says something, it might be something like: yeah! oh man, "just" always annoys me. You watch the whole video JUST to know why he's lying there, and in the end, you realize that you'll never know :)
I totally love this video. It's so strange, so disturbing. And the end, is surprising & gives me the creeps. Oh, and to davidLeerockxy: the "gay voice" is from Thom Yorke, singer of one of the greatest bands ever, called Radiohead! Never heard of it? if not, I'm sorry for you, mate...and it's not gay at all! His voice is melancholic, expressive & SIMPLY GREAT!!But, I shouldn't be that harsh, it's clear that you can't appreciate such great music, as you have BRET MICHAELS under your favourites!
LOL,thanks for your entertaining and so meaningful comment!Trying to insult me by calling me fag?well, I'm a heterosexual girl.But,even if I was homosexual (or whatever fag means to you!),you just couldn't touch me with your words.That's no insult to me.Maybe it is for you,in your close-minded ways of thinking (well,if your brain has the capacity to actually do that...)
Someone tell me, MTV would block this, and people would deem this inapporiate? Art is not always pleasant. I'm sorry but when I see a 'piece of art' with unicorns I have to laugh. But sorry, if you want to discover yourself. The trip isn't pleasant. But rewarding
also he is blocking out what other people are doing ... and oblivious to the outside world .. the jacket is lik the barrier between him and the world.. but when he removes his jackets .. he stands up and see what is going on and is no longer knocked down by those around him
this song is pretty much about how society will always try and knock you down.... and how u shud stand up n be heard .... or something along those lines
Not sure why this was banned, to be honest. I was thinking it was a godd interpretation of London with mad people wandering in the road! Only dicrepancy was that the car's hitting him weren't BMW's..... :)
