Blonde Redhead - The Dress - Mike Mills

[FabiDrek]

The guy in blue shirt. Oh god don't cry. I can hug you if you want to :')

[3Deelites]

"Winter" by The Dodos is a good break up song...Depressing...I felt so sad after it...but it was relieving at the same time...

[xguitarxdementiax]

:29 looks like he is about to tell me the breast exams are on channel 9 and at :30 to :31 there was pollution

[TIROFO]

I get this video. I am surprised to see such negative feedback below. It's interesting to watch the emotions change in relation to the lyrics.

[VanillaBeanish]

@lordexarkun...LMAO!



[spadesiesokay1]

this is a dumb video lol

he must be High and be like "wtf was i thinking when i was sober and making this!"

[ericmsandoval]

Is this the same Mike Mills that the AIR song was named after??

[NoSahdow]

@ericmsandoval Mike Mills has created music videos for such musical acts as Moby, Yoko Ono and Air. Air named the fifth song on their album Talkie Walkie after Mills.

[sabrinabells]

the voice remind me bat for lashes

[kooldawgdizzle]

I love the song, but this Mike Millis guy sucks! His videos are tedious to watch.

[chicamanchostra]

Very sad song :'(

Is the perfect song when you break up with someone and u really knows how is he/she u_u

[chicamanchostra]

Very sad song :'(

Is the perfect song when you break up with someone and u really know how is he/she u_u

[SenshiKiller]

I can't stop listening to this song. Simply, Terribly, Beautiful. Thanks to Lastfm I knewd Them and now I can't stop listening them, the Blonde Redhead.

[SkalY7]

what a way to ruin a beautiful song....

[melomelomelo123]

I support his artistic take on it, But, Blonde redhead has sad music, so this makes it overall super depressing. But amazing song, and interesting video

[FaultYesteryear]

mike mills is shit. his videos for blonde redhead's songs are awful.

[jogaboy88]

30 people who watched this love justin beiber...appearantly..

[madsketcher]

@jogaboy88 No, perhaps they just don't like inane music videos.

[ProRevolution1]

@madsketcher Why would you call this video inane? Personally the music video is supposed to give a certain effect but with you, you did not receive this, therefore the video is not inane, you are.

[SnapSunny]

@ProRevolution1 Because the artist could not get his point across to the viewer, that makes the viewer silly? If the intention of this video is to give a certain effect to the viewer and the viewer does not experience this, then the artist has failed. On top of that, if you, personally, feel this gave you that 'effect', what right have you to call him inane? Because your personal experience outweighs that of another's? I guarantee it does not.

[madsketcher]

I would have preferred people eviscerating themselves. The song doesn't need such a visual anvil.

[pezsalas]

Muy bueno

[Nikolafoort]

jesus... what a song.. I absolutely Love it...gosh.. It blowed me miles away... my one of Top songs

[stricklandnc]

I'm kinda less into songs that are this overtly negative and are about pain with no explanation. Love, hurt, less love...that's not a story of anything except every lifetime.

[VinciLit]

the whole melody was fucked up by this video

[freakinchrist]

Drivel. There is a difference between liking the song, and liking watching people pretend to cry. Nonsense.

PS - Flibberty-Floo!

[anjamoo]

wow. that is a really powerful video. it made me cry! we humans are strange creatures!

[deucedroppar]

All the bullshit lyric sites have it incorrect. As you can hear, It's:

"Your love waits you while THEY're cheating

Lighting strikes you WHILE you're moving."

[Inetmannn]

Super best band!!!

[LeMemorabilia]

I love you less now that I know you.... People hate you when you're changing

[Sprtschk]

Christ I can't even watch this..

[invadrgir2]

i admire the courage of the people involved in this video.

[SHOPAH0LIC]

@invadrgir2 Yeah. I could never cry in front of a person, let alone a camera!

[kobald62]

Great song. The video is...well it kinda fails. Just showing a bunch of people progressively break down into tears with no rational or story isn't actually anything besides a bunch of people progressively breaking down into tears. I feel like it was supposed to be artsy and powerful or something but it's really not. I still love this song though :D

[terany]

I don't necessarily disagree with you but just because you and I weren't particularly moved by the music video doesn't mean it was a failure. Not everything needs to be telling a story.

If I had to guess about the meaning of the music video I'd say the director was trying to show that emotions transcend race, gender, and language.

[yurkoko]

<3

horse loves you

[cgundddd]

??? kolanut. mellow or go to a hatebreed or pantera video. this song doesnt neeed your crap you lightweight. love this song. video is stupid.

[kolaoncoke]

HOW is it simple? you're a shallow faggot.

[originaladonyx]

I honestly kind of want to hug everyone in this video.

[hollywoodpurplehaze]

LOVE BLONDE REDHEAD AND R.E.M.

[kolaoncoke]

REM sucks.

[MrHerBreath]

отличная песня

[jiniberrie]

@JonDeth

you completely missed the point of this song

[JonDeth]

No the video sucks is the problem

[dio9366]

That was the f***king song my ex send to me when we broke up

[bloodykuntrock]

haha i did that to my ex...he felt like shit and appologized....but hey its how we felt...

[VinciLit]

@dio9366

No one with some common sense gives a fuck

[VinciLit]

@dio9366

I hope you've died by now :)

[Ailko]

WoW!! one of the most moving videos I have ever seen!!!!

[beth898989]

Fantastic video. Really moving, especially with the song.

[TacoAreGood]

Being from Kyrgyzstan studying at an Ivy League University, I have never been as humbled as I am right now by being blessed with you writings. I wish I could have all of your writings but it seems you removed two before writing this final goodbye. Oh and by the way, claiming that this is anything but a failed attempt at a music video is a lie, unless you really need the crutch of a pop band to express yourself. Keep trolling and have fun being above my office washing the windows of the building

[ninjabunnyhardcore]

I'm dead.

[wAdemczyk]

mike mills (director) went to cooper union.

not sure if he's from kyrgyzstan or n e thing or if what college u go to fucking matters, but cooper is the most selective in the country.

[tomMIKOS]

it's a pompous art school... if that's what you mean by selective. the engineering school's a different story.

[TacoAreGood]

this music video is just a bunch of people crying in front of a camera. You kind of miss the empowerment/deception found in the song that ultimately acquiesces in the end to her love for this hurtful person. Way to kill a great song!

[Brilliantshine]

If anything, the images of people begining to and are crying just further emphasizew how the singer kind of sounds likes she's crying while singing herself.

[TacoAreGood]

That's not really a rebuttal, that is not what I was arguing. Rhetoric; another thing you should work on... lol, and stop making bad music videos or people might start to think you're a bunch of emo groupies clogging up the tubes

[Bmehr0775]

Just shut up and get over it...

[Bmehr0775]

Oh and by the way, this isn't really a Music Video. Its just a video INSPIRED by the song.

[TacoAreGood]

Lol two replies and an elispes; find a new definition for inspired, most people associated inspired with positive connotations not this disgusting hack job. And I'm not the only one pal, read the rest of your comments, most of them are decently coherent and have some helpful tips. And you have yet to actual form a rebuttal to my original post, but keep trolling your own terrible charade of a movie.

[Bmehr0775]

I am not going to waste my time and reply with a rebuttal for someone who is obviously below me. I mean not only in education, but with class. I was simply stated that you should really get over it and shut up. This is not a music video. In the video description it says it was inspired by the song. Get your facts straight. You can reply to this all you want. Just try to knock me down a few notches. Will it satisfy you so all the random Youtubers will see? You really are beneath me. I'm done.

[sinsiev]

It is such a great song... so hurtful and sad. Melancholic :(

[suicidekika]

Blonde redhead is a band that usually make me cry... now i watched this video i can see that they really have that depressing intension. This video made me cry too..

[Neusseji]

Très belle vidéo.

Ce n'est pas simplement des gens qui pleurent, il y a une vrai émotion.

[LordExarKun]

Vraiment.

[1241314]

ce video est exelent ,car pour une fois nous sommes pas aubliger de regarder un guss qui chill sur sa limousinne ou un gas qui eclate sa gutard au contraire c plus nouvaux meme que ses exelent il on jouer sur l emotion et c'est du pur genie moi j'ai adorer

[sfn6]

why do they cry, the song isn't that bad...

[LordExarKun]

Haha.

If you really want to know, they're watching 2 girls one cup.

[ziolex777]

strange....

[bmathiask]

The message of this video is right on: diversity IS depressing!

The more we know others the less we love them.

[chavezgon]

this video is pure shit

[1186crusader]

I think this video is crap. It's "sad", but not art, because it doesn't bring its point across in any artistic way, it's just "sit there and cry for me". What if that's not what most people feel when they watch this song? What if they experience something else? What if they think the song is about feeling bitter?

[llnietzschell]

Notwithstanding your condemnation in regard to this medium's "limitation, the ubiquitous subjectivity you've said one comes to the song with is going to have to be extrapolated to any visual accompaniment. Still, I generally agree in this not being of an acceptable aesthetic.

[tenebria]

:))

[helenHeller01]

i wanna know what they're looking at or being told!

[extramaxpower]

try and cry! and if you dont im going to chop off your feet.

that would do it

[helenHeller01]

i did cry the first time i watched this. but im still curious about what they're looking at.

[eubeyargentina]

se ve muy natural

[heidiriner]

BRILLIANT

[bodyrefuse]

really love the song AND video.... it's so minimalistic that it just works.

[Giulsup]

I don't like this video, but the song is wonderful..

[santimone84]

idea già usata da Warol tempo fa...

[picklexray]

Awesome song. shittiest video EVER!!

[frxnlab]

uhmmm, I first thought this was a fake video... is it me or has Mike Mills totally knocked off Nick Cave &tBS' Into my Arms video?

[maivezonk]

Yes it really is. Wish it wasn't - I love both bands.

[juan685ortiz]

this deprime me :S

[autor98]

... se dice... this depress me

[Dkorotchenko]

i am crying

[nicegurl112]

Hey buddys how is the hot captain of the cheerleader team such a depressed lady!

[no1knowsme99]

maybe an unseen pain from her past, perhaps she tries extra hard to climb the social ladder and be on top, because deep down inside she feels really low...

[estudio100rafa]

love it.. but I would have made the transitions a bit softer between each person.

but then again.. I am just a common man.. sitting in my couch :)

[endeavourthelimits]

the idea of the vid is great - of course that it is artificially generated - but nonetheless it has a strong message and it does fit with the airy / dissapointment remainding feelings given by the song.

What i find in particular interesting - and whipes out the articialism created - is that it makes you wonder what were the feelings / memories that the subjects had in order for them to cry...

[adoredalii]

i was laughing this whole time.

[collective]

was this shot at the DMV or something?

[Frogprince777]

mike mills

[arsenijcz]

very well done. yes indeed when they do make eye contact you feel something more....

[fiendorgyfetisha]

chilloneeeeeeeees jeje shida cancion

[coolfrog28]

i love all mike mills vids but i find this one slightly cheesy

[palmas45]

que buena ., rola,. la letra,. esta medio suicida., pero tiene mensaje., en fin,. que buena musica,. ,,.,

[rushDSC]

mike mills is a genius.. i love all his videos

[joaonhe]

A little bit boring Mike... The concept is nice but it could have a more graphic apeal without losing the idea.

[joey5jordison]

I like it, it's a good video: It made me feel sad

[TimidKitten]

I actually really enjoyed this video but it was difficult to watch when they made eye-contact...

[CINTERPOL]

as humans we tend to sympathize even if they are acting you know its a human thing it makes you human ill be sad for those people who dont feel a thing

[AprilEthereal]

I think Mills choice of unattractive actors speaks miles for Blonde Redhead, and in many ways symbolizes the far from the beaten pop-like course.

[Lydia310]

O_O!!!!

I didn't think that they were unattractive at all. They're normal human beings that I could see on the street, which makes them beautiful. Maybe that's the main issue with todays society.

If it doesn't have glitter and gold...

It's unattractive.

What a sad, warped mentality.

[AprilEthereal]

Hardly. They are simply not physically attractive, without exception. That has nothing to do with them being human beings. I didn't complain about them being unattractive nor does it have anything to do with glitter and gold. Cool your brakes kid, don't overasses a comment with some pseudo-intellectual response.

Congratulations on having a problem with society. Please save the comments for your Intro to Psyc. class.

[Lydia310]

No need to get offended.

You have your opinion, I have mine.

Their attractiveness is objective, not fact. And I'm not even going to address your hit at me personally. It just so happens that I found your previous comment on their looks mildly offensive.

Now that the useless commentary on my pseudo-intellectualism is over, and you've got all that lovely sarcasm out of your system;

let's get back to focusing on the music, shall we?

I hate comment arguments, and wasn't trying to start one.

[kolaoncoke]

dude your a shallow fuck. just kill yourself. the world doesn't need tools like you.

[judahbenkenobi]

I disagree. It's all I see. I little bit of beauty amongst so much ugliness, a little bit of joy amidst so much pain. Something needs to change and we need paradise now. The beginning is almost over and the morass of normality can be overcome by beauty all around, hopefully soon. I'm dying here.

[daspare1]

Is this the official video?

[LordExarKun]

I kinda like it!

[staplegunfunaro]

"I don't believe in an interventionist God

But I know, darling, that you do"

[wancestyle]

i honestly don't like Mike Mills' videos. Great music, not so much great videos. Shame.

[LouiseMeow]

I don't like the idea of people imagining something sad to cry for a musicvideo. Although it seems like an/should be an artproject, it's anyhow commercial. "Top ranking" is far better and appeals more honest.

[danielgurrola]

i love you less now that i know you

i won't count the scars again... because I love you

Rolononon

:(

[i8nomg]

wow.

this is one gorgeous video.

[ea1475mdma]

Apparently you have no empathy for anything, and cannot see blatant beauty when it's right in front of you.

[falipalo]

super song and video, just normal people with normal feelings, any chance to see Blonde Redhead playing in London?

[heavenescence1989]

i love the song but i don't like the video

[hangontoyouriqlapr]

thanx for the ideo 5 *

[cordani]

simple, beautiful and real.

[scarletannie]

this is a horrible video for this song.

[indiolaiche]

I love the band and the song but this video is creepy and poorly lit.

[naireland]

Yucky video. Blonde Redhead is so much more deeper than an emo themed music video. None of this macing people in the face. It ruins the song man

[Bryantm90]

Fuck you it doesn't.

[AuronBold]

I happen to listen to this masterpiece just yesterday. I fell in love with it right away... the lyrics are so captivating its amazing. thanks for posting it 4ADRecords ;)

[AndrosianAnguish]

luv this so far.... but love them 4 life

[liamgoel]

who is mike mills? xD

[mozart2aesop]

he directed thumbsucker

[puntosuspensivo]

i love you less the more i know u

[ronjonsurf]

? Isnt it "I love you less now that I know you"

[puntosuspensivo]

you're right---hooho, sorry

[effentjes]

This is an amazing video to go with this song.

Very smart, and very effective.

[Bryantm90]

I absolutely loved it.

[effentjes]

This is a very beautiful video. Just open your mind to it, and see...

[LunaSeaSane]

" Godley & Creme, Cry "

[jbeare]

hahah god that reminds me of beavis and butthead so bad

[cannibalzombies]

Half of them look like they're about to laugh.

D:

I love this song, but not the video.

DX

[Analizing]

sorry bout my last comment well not my comment exactly some dum ape went on my computer when i went to get a drink so yeh.really sorry bout tht. :/

[directoatuoido]

Amazing song and amazing record. The video is ok though I don´t think I`ll watch it twice

[Analizing]

oh i forgot to say that yes if you dont like what i said you can go fuck urself but if you a sad cunt then you can go cut yourself....i love the way i made that rhyme well anyway im a depressed magget 2 so discard what i just said kk bye........

[Analizing]

ok anyone tht reads this.... this is the me fucked up song ive ever seen and heard....so ill say tht its great because i love whatching this sort of shit!!! love me.. if you dont like what i just said go fuck urself.

[Macyauskas]

Doesn't fit the song.

[Bahhblacksheep]

LOVE this song, but not this video. Is the crying suppose to look so fake? Either find good actors or find a bunch of people who are actually crying.

[muggwort17]

I HATE ART

[mattnesspl]

nice performance

lol

[Capillarysantistevan]

um.....okay......

[ronymiel]

ok depressing

[ghostzender]

this song's one of my fave songs of all times already! amazing...

[celticXrain]

this is the only video mike mills did for blonde redhead that I like, it's very pretty in an eerie way.

[andialu2]

I'm not one to right negative comments but.....everything I've seen from Mike Mills for Blonde Redhead has been painfully boring. I can appreciate minimalism but this is just horrible. None of them fit the songs AT ALL.

[pianerjoe]

andialu2, i find most of his videos too boring for me, and forgettable too, though this one stands out among them as one of my favorite videos in ages! unforgettable. it's a great concept. i scoured the web to find out how he made it, who these people are, why they were crying, etc. to no avail. still is a great idea with the lyrics.

[joshuak47]

I don't know what to say about this... it's a creepy video. I think the lyrics match the video pretty well-- "I love you less now that I know you." So I guess the crying is about disillusionment.

[imanolchavez]

The same expression on those people faces, I had on the concert, I couldn't stop crying when I heard the dress... It's so amazing! I feel my body creepy everytime i see the video, (I DONT DO DRUGS)
