I think the themes becomes personal here: illustrating that questions of commitment, marriage, the roles, and ideologies built into long term relationships are being considered non-ironically, non-sarcastically. When the flames ignite, Kimbra, and the girls start dance: I wonder what this suggests? I mean I have my suspicions.
You know what I want: a really good kick flip, catching it with my back foot, pointing it out a little, and stomping it out over the bolts. Or a good home-brew IPA.
so the performer is very mechanical/artificial in motion, sort of fitting the theme of the dolls. Dolls, specifically a Ken and Barbie relationship is referenced. The question of marriage, the routine of it all is explored. There are moments where Kimbra is mocking the institution and the dynamics of (heterosexual) marriage, the child who stands in place of the adult woman suggests how uncanny the whole arrangement is. But there is that moment at 2:11 where Kimbra address the camera directly.
@XxXFayeAllenXxX Yes he is, look in the remix video (penguin prison) version which is sped up, you can see him breathing. And why are you offended that I wrote "lol", I thought it was funny.
Damn it Kimbra! I'm supposed to be doing classwork but your video is insisting I continually replay it. You got some style I want to dress my entire body in!
I'm just a little into this song right now...but I can tell it's gonna grow on me and I'll be back here in a week like "FUCK YEAH KIMBRAS THE SHIT!!!" I hate it when that happens. Nah actually I love it.

ciekawy głosik i życiowy tekst- o typowej kobiecie: najpierw chce z facetem spędzić życie, potem każe mu spadać, a gdy już została sama to znowu chce z nim być
Aww this is an adorable song. Its fun, fresh, classy, funky and easy to listen to all in one. It made me smile, made me think of my special someone and just gave me a good warm feeling. Well done!
I love the way Kimbra moves her body with the music. Just something about it that looks so good. Or maybe it's the way the music moves around her body?
at 1:43 i couldn't help but turn the volume up, close my eyes and go into a different dimension for those few seconds of fucking amazing music. haven't done that in a long time
notice the black kimbra and white kids, notice the buring of dolls (innocence lost?), notice her dead eyes, what vows are she singing about and to whom? i guess she's another upcoming puppet in the music industry...
Okay... Finally see something worth buffering in full HQ 1080p and come to find out, it's max resolution size is 360p... Maybe it's just me being somewhat of a geek but really? Anyway, Fantastic music video and personal applause to the Director of this. Wardrobes and the overall style are just in sync and I'd say, nailed the songs attributes! Again Bravo oh and Kimbra, I'd settle down with you anyday..
@Stormwind187 It was definitely greenscreen. They really did burn the dolls, but they used the flat shot as the backround, and also filmed multiple shots, but that was't while they were filming the scene with the people. They just put those shots in between clips.
@SteelsCrow I think its greenscreen lol. They probably filmed the dolls seperately. That's why there's no reflection from the flames on the part of the floor where they are dancing.
@SteelsCrow Dancing in front of a green screen? Would beat dancing in front of a hot, unsafe fire, especially with what you said of making it hard to redo the shot. Two little girls being in it makes all those points even more true.
@SteelsCrow im afraid you're not quite right, they film her dancing in front of a greenwall, and they film the burning of the dolls, and they put it together.
good performance yes, but the burning dolls thing is neither here nor there. the whole sequence was probably shot in layers (i.e. green-screened). the burning dolls, kimbra, and the two girls are all likely different shots. it's doubtful a producer would've played the lottery and hoped for first-time perfection on such a long sequence.
She has a sultry voice..Reminds me of Amy Winehouse...Hopefully, she won't make the same mistakes...
