The Kills - Black Balloon (2009)

[urduib]

I guess i would make it like thiss !

[Qahoa]

please come suck my blood

[resquin16]

This song is cool. How have I missed this band?

[indiechicks13]

This video is amazing <3

[notbydesign029]

hah. vampires.. how cliche

[2GrOOvee]

three girls i would go lez for: zooey deschanel, emma stone, & ALISON MOSSHART

[FatBlackFrancis]

Is that Robbie from the Big Pink?

[pacificamber]

i knew it

[crunchyDinah]

I don’t really think it’s necessary that people disagree about what the song about. People will always have different interpretations and that’s how it should be. The purpose of a song is to make you feel good, or bad, or simply to make you feel. I think that’s what it’s all about.

[luizajimenez17]

beautiful 

[PrPL3Gaming]

i play this song while playing BTD 5....

[maddymud]

reminds me of the old Cars song intro ...My Best Friend's Girlfriend ...

[Meckara]

Perhaps for everyone else it is about drugs, to me, about unfulfilled dreams, sometimes you just have to let them go. 

[Fligis]

I'm trying to figure out exactly about what this song is.. Any help?? I saw people it's like about drug addiction. So, about that in general or something else more specific?

[LoneRage]

I wanna fall In Love with someone In Love with The Kills!!!

[originalbirdiebrain]

I love how unbeknownst to me this band has been a favorite of mine until now. Just realized I have been listening since 05

[badmankey1]

recovering heroin addicts unite! speaking from personal experience, just to the haters out there that want to be a dick. have fun judging people douches!

[toncheval]

It is a shame that some people dislike this

[morimari3]

Let black balloon go. I am free to do anything !

[jon565able]

Hola we

[1yellowapple]

This is perfect

[dbdeg88]

Just one thing bugs me about this video...if she's supposed to be a vampire, how can she (or we, for that matter) see her reflection?

[beautifulneverending]

@dbdeg88 that's a good point... but it's not supposed to be taken literally.

[Robinzorz]

@dbdeg88 Since vampires are fictional characters anyway, I'd say you can make it so that they have or not have reflections if you please. In some they can change into bats, in some they dont. Here, she has a reflection. which is nice, because she is pretty enough for a mirrormatch;)

[DaanKembangMawar]

@dbdeg88 I'm not sure whether she's portraying a vampire. I'd guess she's supposed to be just some monster, since vampires drain people, they don't kill them - like she did to Jamie.

[w1ldtr1ck]

this world is a vampire

[anathemaarienette]

@w1ldtr1ck Sent to drain secret destroyers?

[w1ldtr1ck]

@anathemaarienette hold you up to the flames and what do i get for my pain?

[anathemaarienette]

@w1ldtr1ck betrayed desires and a piece of the game.

[20yorick]

She eats her kids. Hide the bodies under the bridge.

[VickiiVega88]

Love it. Reminds me of the time I was addicted, and just how stupid it truly was.

[WFG555]

holy shit this is such a good song

[SeaMonstersAreCool]

Happy belated birthday, Alison.

[tedbondy]

me recuerda a joy division, algunos conocidos piensan que es suicida, pero en el caso de divion era enfermedad, locura.

[tedbondy]

esas dos notas son minimalismo, este es bastante seco y el cambio es pocitivo pero se ahoga vuelve a salir refuerza con la bateria pero...no cambia, es un axioma.

[tuesdayblackmon]

this is freakin awesome...:)

[kamehousse]

he's not dead and she's not a vampire, don't believe them !

[nobullshits999]

wwwwwwhahwhhhahhwhahwhahwawa

[MusicLoveHS]

<3

[ironkatia]

this songs makes me want to shot the rest of my shit.

[lineinthesand92]

Am I the only who got horny seeing Alison's mouth so close to the mic?

[controlthemnow]

This song is pure sex. Who needs a partner when you have the vocals of Alison and the riffs of Jamie.  Musical bonner!!!

[DarkAngelEU]

I'll sing this song to the grave... it keeps haunting me xD

[Bubbamiester1000]

duuuuuddde......

[karanna6699]

[kathleenballoon]

sigh...

[PuReNiRvANA1]

WHOSE GOING TO THERE SHOW @ THE METRO???

[clarebear861]

Love it!!!!

[MrRexy94]

141 people don't know anything about great music!

[lupe33potoum]

I didn't know that biting a microphone would make it bleed

[nebulafucker]

drugs and music both make my art better. this song makes me want drugs. and art. gonna go paint an elephant hanging from a black balloon now.

[sunsun410]

drugs dont help me with my art. this song does. when i hear this i draw some pretty awesome stuff

[justininjapan]

@sunsun410 try a drug other than aspirin. that should help.

[SummerxMarch]

happy halloween. lol

[Screamerific]

But Good.



[Screamerific]

Weird.

[MeLySaLy]

Awesome...

I need Drugs..

[ArtyomKhan]

Элисон сногсшибательная... ^}{^

[Jamilla92fd]

i feel cool when i listen their songs:D

[LynahLi]

Only 1 890 216 views? o.O

[gwargroupie]

Listen to Monster Magnet much... I love all tehse bands "inspiration". People with all teh talent and no creativity. I like Aerosmith alright too... but so many lyrics and shit are ripped off... especially from the Yardbirds.

[enblurecida]

me gusta mucho :)

[BlackSwan797]

Farewell My Black Balloon

[burnblack11]

this video is so cool

[norman200192]

i cant rmb how i found this song. was it on any tv show? great song btw

[realpinkfan]

@norman200192 it was probably a fairy that chose you to be one of the lucky people who know about this song and about the kills :D

[RosaLichtenstein01]

@norman200192 It was featured in 'The Good Wife' Series Two Episode 14.

[iMhWtUr0204NOT]

this song blows my life. what a bummer

[Denmoose712]

Shred Til' You're Dead...

[ibelee59]

 a lovely love song

[alex2kkk]

2:12 aAhAhhhhaHHhahhH !!!

[beautifulneverending]

the symbolism in this video is amazing! it definitely shows that drug addiction always hurts and kills the ones closest to you. it turns you into a monster that has one thing on its mind: feeding. truly beautiful.

[mhall1027]

@beautifulneverending you are stupendous...i dunno if i spelled that right.....whatever

[beautifulneverending]

@mhall1027 thank you.  :)

[britpit16]

Soy la 7000 like this

[wolfeman323232]

[Jodiec1994]

[KillsAndCandyCanes]

I'm a straight girl and I'm still completely in love with Alison

[IAMthatSOUND]

[RustyRazor2010]

[xBoomerSooner78x]

Vampirisim is a perfect metaphor for heroin addiction.

[WildCherryAlly]

I love the song but I don't understand a shit from this video...O_O

[Malkmus99]

by far their best video <3

[dipdxfun]

Always loved this one, can't wait to see them tonite in PDX!

[gerritterhaar]

kak

[cjspinho]

The clip may be questionable, but the music and singer, all good!

Der Clip kann fraglich sein, aber die Musik und der Sänger sind sehr gut!

O clipe pode ser questionável, mas a música e a cantora, tudo de bom !

[uhmmjawsh]

hot ass beat clap.. lol

[megryanyu]

cool song!

[calpitoc]

Gonna sleep now.  Sweet nightmares.

[Boogee15]

i want her to be my mother

[GiaZombina]

@Boogee15 Mother? I want her to be my wife.

[zombieflesh6669]

drug's make you write some deep music ...about drug's

[dMANdingchang3s]

@zombieflesh6669 nigga this isntt even about drugs this is about a woman not knowing if shes in love or not and the love she has kills a person cause they cant handle all the pain

[BitchYouGetNoLovex]

@dMANdingchang3s Actually, no, this is about Alison's (the girl in the video..) addiction to heroin.

[tsnorquist]

@BitchYouGetNoLovex I went to high school with Alison. I liked her music better when she was in the band Discount. Maybe b/c it was just more upbeat and we were younger... who knows =).

[fannchys14]

@tsnorquist you're so lucky.

[flo15jo]

@zombieflesh6669 Great grocer's apostrophe.

[KosmoAntoninus]

@zombieflesh6669 Drugs make you misspell drugs.

[bawhite125]

Let's not forget how indescribably good this video is too...

[johnrude13]

Cocteau twins , no ?

[floatinghearts222]

@johnrude13 :) ahh how i love them

[majofuckyou]

mosshart vampire yeah!

[sammy035811]

I absolutely love your music, absolutely fucking beautiful. It helped me find my inner self after some rough shit in my life. Thanks.

[XaraMorelana]

No Vampire Diaries, I want this.

[MrRockleadmylife]

OMG just having sucha great LSD trip wow this song is too beautiful

[cigarettepillow]

LSD , Cocaine and Whiskey brought me here tonight.

[redhotchilipepperite]

incredibly sexy. i love everything about them

[sunnyset123]

3:22 Hmmm lol jk.

[IheartJackandMeg]

This video almost had me hooked, then the vampire.......UGH!

[RSLiquid]

@IheartJackandMeg thats not a vampire, thats a crack addict!

[WolvesWeekend]

This song's so intense ...

(Like any Kills' song)

[adaninia]

the best!! I want her to bite me also! :)

[davisevan11]

it's not comin' true- and never will...

only lies...

[elsylovesplacebo]

Omg she killed Jamie :(

[kemicon]

I think the clean vocals on this track make it better not worse. It's contrast and she sings slovenly on other tracks. She sounds great. Going to see these guys tonight! I wonder if Alison digs divorcee cat owners?

[wweleah]

<3 Awesome lyrics

[Jonasthing]

great music, great lyrics etc, the girl just sings a little too pop to really go well with the music. A little incoherance, rasp, would have done wonders.

[MaartenIB]

@Jonasthing. 3 words: The Dead Weather.

[bunnykingIII]

@Jonasthing alison mosshart is probably one of the best female ROCK singers of the 21century!

[kevsoul4ever]

she looks like a zombie xD omg

[zeppelin6976]

@kevsoul4ever vampire?

[kevsoul4ever]

@zeppelin6976 huh? she looks like a vampire but the ambiet and the walking very similar to the zombies 2:45

[NunuInvincible829]

love this song and video, love the kills

[MrV1C7OR]

I'm not a fan of the Kills, but this song is the only one that i like, and is amazing

[TheSimus12]

LOVE <3 is cool :*

[reaperphilia]

carsonapolis unhip fuck aggghhh

[Carsonapolis]

[darkelyria]

[gossiph]

If only i could be her, eating Jamie!

[lumpypumpkin89]

nice acting.



[beccalincecum]

Is she still on drugs? I don't care because she can do whatever she wants because shes amazing.

[SMASHVILLELs]

So much blood O.O

[BlackSwan797]

i remember watching this a couple years ago, and i always wondered who sang it. . .i discovered the kills bout a year ago and now. . it seems like two pieces in my brain finally fit together :D wow. . i wonder why i never came across this before

[maclynda]

i love this song !!!! 

[MrRockleadmylife]

i want her to bite me

[Mu5icLuv3r4eva]

that monkey boys an idiot ... <3 this song

[candyxdreams11]

mesmerizingg<3

[ilovesieg]

this is so fuckin rock'n'roll :')

[sisicharlie]

I'm not trying to disagree with either of you but I just googled her name and I can't find anything on her death. Are you sure she died? i did see something that said she FOUND a dead body by a lake? I don't know.

[savannahmiles264]

@sisicharlie WHAT? I never knew about this. WHATTT?

[PPerfectToMe]

@Monkeyboy92037, she isn't dead ò.o

[Monkeyboy92037]

RIP alison mosshart :'(

[darthvaida]

@Monkeyboy92037 why? she is not dead?

[xxxMoooNxxx]

@Monkeyboy92037 is she dead?! o.o

[Monkeyboy92037]

@xxxMoooNxxx unfortunately she has passed away; she will be missed

[xxxMoooNxxx]

@Monkeyboy92037 Yea ... How could You know that?

[Monkeyboy92037]

@xxxMoooNxxx it was on the news, please don't disrespect her memory by being delusional

[xxxMoooNxxx]

@Monkeyboy92037 o.o Oh, really? Can You so give me a link with a video or an article about that? hee? -.-

[Monkeyboy92037]

@xxxMoooNxxx i'm not your babysitter, do it yourself

[xxxMoooNxxx]

@Monkeyboy92037 I´m trying to do it. But I can´t find anything. So it means You lie.

[Monkeyboy92037]

@xxxMoooNxxx it is the 100% truth. why are you using fucked up apostrophes and capitalizing "you"?

[trousersnake91]

@Monkeyboy92037 the "You" in the middle of a sentence is gay, but youre being doubted because there is nothing anywhere to base anything youve said on other than your word

[Monkeyboy92037]

@trousersnake91 simply search google for "alison mosshart" and you will find the truth to be self-evident

[trousersnake91]

@Monkeyboy92037 i did exactly that. google, bing, wiki, nothing about her being dead

[dezz1911]

@Monkeyboy92037 you fuckin moron stop saying bullshit will ya

[Monkeyboy92037]

@dezz1911 please stop disrespecting her memory by being delusional

[dezz1911]

@Monkeyboy92037 retard -.-'

[madvillain6184]

@Monkeyboy92037 You are a fucking idiot, don't destroy her present persona by saying she's Dead you fuckwit. I just saw her at Lollapalooza last weekend.

[Monkeyboy92037]

@madvillain6184 why did you capitalize "Dead"? your credibility has been destroyed, now please stop disrespecting her memory

[armi1515]

@Monkeyboy92037 Do you realize how obnoxious you are when all you say is stop disrespecting her memory and then correcting people's grammar? Redo your search on her, and you will see for yourself that she in fact is not dead, so, as you so disrespectfully put it, your credibility has been destroyed. You fucking douche bag!! Clearly you have a mental problem, you act like a stupid 12 year old who thinks they know all, when in fact you don't know jack shit!

[Monkeyboy92037]

@armi1515 you gonna cry?
