@DaDa2Phlux Then again, we'll never know how many takes were required to get the final version. Anytime someone clapped off beat or he shot milk out his nose, they had to start all over again with a new cake. The poor guy probably ate five or six of them before they were done. Loved the song, though.
i'm sure you have to be uber intellectual and indie to understand such a complex video such as this one. like seriously. the meaning is so...... deep. the cake, is a subliminal message for LIFE itself. and the beauty of self expression through making a complete idiot of yourself. :D
It's not always about "hidden meanings". It's a guy eating cake, it's not saying anything in of itself. Personally I just find the video aesthetically appealing and humorous. Get over yourself.
And another thing, the more you call other people "hipsters", the more likely you are one yourself. Just throwing that out.
@Ambulanceo youre right. im sitting here in my floral printed jeans and lensless fake raybans... nothing else because shirts and shoes are so generic.
and another thing, the more you defend this video and yourself the more likely YOU are a hipster. although, perhaps i am aswell. maybe we all are. maybe.... we're all just too intellectual to tell for sure right? hahaha GREAT SONG GUYS LIKE WOW KEEP IT UP <33333 ;)
@Ambulanceo Oh the humanity! You would have to create your own indie rokker collaboration with an asian synth musician. Be the change you want to see in the world.
No, we're good. The bassist is already asian and we got ourselves a black drummer as well. If only conservative America were as diverse as I wish it were...
Awesome! Just got into the Drums and Guns album and am really liking it, this video too hah. I watched Matilda the other day and thought of this song haha
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If there weren't his wife and the other dude behind him clapping this would be a good video. But they ruin it. They both just look awkward and dumb behind him.
ok great it's super artistic and has a super deep meaning and shit, but it turns the video from something just interesting and funny to something dumb and pretentious. i love Low, but this video is poor.
Why? Sorry, lot of facts from your side, but no reasons at all... (Don't interprete it, an action of your choice, and it's still just interesting and funny... and just dumb, because then you get no message at all....)
BTW Just heard it in Skins and with connection to series events it caused so great impression on me. In that moment I just wanted to smoke, drink whiskey and think how life sucks... Amazing
I saw LOW live recently! They were truly amazing! I uploaded 7 videos from their set on my page! You should check'em out! The songs are even more powerful when presented live. The audio quality is excellent too, so i hope you'll enjoy them... Take Care*
P.S.: "Violent Past" is my personal favorite from Drums and Guns...
In 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after.

i agree its not really the most exciting video but i was amused by the sheer novelty of seeing a guy in a military-ish uniform shovel his face in with cake.
nahh you just need to give the rest of the album some time. dragonfly, murderer and violent past are my favorites. and then you have to find the hatchet 7" remix. its fabulous.
aw man, yeah I need to, Hatchet and Murderer have become my more of my favorites, I posted that right after I saw this video and bought their CD, if you look in my favorites you can see Murderer performed live in studio - so awesome it gave me chills.

Some people want young white females to mix with non-white males.
I made a one-minute video highlighting a very tiny sample of race-mixing advertisements.
I love white people, and I am opposed to race-mixing. But I do not hate non-whites.
