The New Pornographers - "Myriad Harbour"

[alexsaratt]

video e musica muito muito bom...congratulações!

[kenobigirliz]

<3 The New Pornographers <3

[inhocsignovinces88]

Reminds me of Peter Max.

[yooMadre8me]

Russel Brand's hair? No, that is Dan Bejar's hair.

[Femhundrafem]

what does "myriad harbour" mean?!

[TroutAmbush]

The song is about New York City. The video is about Russel Brand's hair. Or something.

[Ender605]

@TroutAmbush You mean Dan Bejar's hair? That's who that is.

[dbltary]

myriad = having innumerable phases, aspects, variations, etc.

myriad harbor = harbor in the sun, with sparkles infinitely changing/different given your perspective/view

contrast that with the rest of the lyrics, and i feel the main message is that humanity is so vast and repeating in its individuality that many views/people may be the same at first glance, yet infinitely different given the minute details...IMO, of course.

in essence, stereotypes may describe, but they do not capture.

[Desarollo]

yes but i wouldn't say this song is about stereotypes. it's about boys and girls, art and the search amongst the myriad.

he always takes a plane, a train (a myriad) but he ALWAYS ends up in the city (the myraid harbor in one sense)

he looks for things to do. why are the girls so pretty?

he's in search of something amongst the myriad.  and the only thing he "ever needed help was with you."

the song is about discovery of self in the myriad (through the vehicles of girls, the city, art, etc)

[christlicker]

You're both wrong. It's about pussy.

[TroutAmbush]

This video's so amusing. TNP always makes awesome videos.

[sullyboyev]

i love the way the hole song is made up with C and G chords :L there freaking intelligent :D

[scott07s23]

.. they put together a few of the most intelligent musicians in the English Speaking World and came up with songs like this.. I'm amazed

[NaughtyKitty23]

the video is too trippy sober. but good song.

[syj1109]

'look up for once and see just how the sun sets in the sky.'

Guys... this song is about new york.... look at their official website.

[DouglasAmber]

hmmm. i really like this song, first time hearing it.

[WolvenCheiftan1993]

TRIPPIN' ! I like the song, though. 5*****

[DivisibleByZer0]

I swear he looks like Russel Brand to me

[oracle12340]

Lame.

Their ideologies are completely opposite. Wake up.

[DivisibleByZer0]

It has nothing to do with ideologies

I mean appearance wise look at him when he doesnt have two heads

looks just like russel

[TroutAmbush]

That's what I thought, ahah.

[snappybanana]

"creepy"

i do believe that's why most of us are watching this, for our daily dose of alternative reality.

[guitarhero124]

I love music videos like this. This stylized stuff is so much more interesting to watch than that stupid MTV shit with some guy in front of a camera with his bling and lights going off. Though, I don't mind the girls in it. ;)

Not to mention this just looks really cool.

[ScRiBbLeMoNsTeRR]

ilovethissonggg.

(:

[braceytk02]

at he beginning he looks a bit like che guevera

[Onlydreamin1959]

Funny, one commentor comlained that this song was too creepy to like. That's why I like it! I would argue, however, as to what constitutes creepy in this song. It's good music and I'm wondering why people have such a negative impresion with it.

[tuyuldanmbayul]

i wish i have awesome hair like thatttt

this is such a disturbing video i just fall in love with it

[wheredidusernamesgo]

This videos just...too creepy for me to like it. I tried.

[greywasarrest]

hair,hair,hair,hair,hair.

H-A-I-R!!!

[catacombkid11]

He's asexual!

[riparianlife97701]

Dude needs some hair care product. Soon!

[benjiwinner]

Very Good

[EGC69X]

Mataadorrecords is #1, thanks for the great stuf!!!

[than217]

Salvia Flashback....

*falls to the ground in fetal position shaking*

[ScRiBbLeMoNsTeRR]

loveeitt(:

[topsyturvytown]

That was an amazing video.

Great Song/Album.

[bragladish]

This is the big video? I've been waiting, for Dan to make a video, for Destroyer, forever! Then, after all the anticipation and having asked myself, is it because he's never been offered a good idea, argument, situation, or because he thinks it demoralizes the music, dirties it in some way, tarnishes the intent, distract the listener, after all that crap he turns in this? Holy holy holy holy holy unwoven eyeball cocks and no holy kiss!

[mhj0904]

I love this song.

[Paperemmy]

Very nice. Love, love, love the song. And the very trippy video.

[cheedleboy]

no idea what the video or the song is about. but both are very good. one of their best songs.

[Druman737]

yeah baltimore is the best city ever

[rainydayzefish]

I prefer Seattle. :D

But the song amazes just the same.:)

[CASEDILLA]

I love listening to this when I'm driving around Baltimore city XD

[insanetomato6]

Hi! If Carmen is watching this, Hi! This song iS AWESOME! Poop!

[lina25]

I love this band.

I love this song.

I love this video.

[RainbowSyrup]

Most definately.

<3

[LazarusUnbound]

Incredible viewing. Changed my inner film of this song and thrilled me with the visuals. Bravo NPs!

[chemicalswings]

You are the single worst Youtube poster in existence. New means new. Why mention it 2 times in one intro phrase? You make me feel embarrassed for being Canadian.

[interpolluter29]

Sounds like they tripped you up easy, didn't they?

[101Volts]

When I started watching some of this band's music videos, I noticed something about them. They were beautiful in one way or another but now I've watched this one, I know what it is about them: Art.

[Translation84]

It's like one big awesome acid trip!

[chinesemonk]

I'm not sure what I just watched but the animation is beautiful, simply amazing.

[BlindCharade]

so much emotion in the animation

[blackfoliage1]

Anything with Dan Bejar is aces.

Don't ever wash that hair. Things will drown! Very trippy video, just perfect for the new mushroom season. I've been enjoying this tune on my mp3 player for a while but this is the first time I've seen the video. Love it!

[Endy9]

Mindbending!  Great song.

[CAJman01]

[ThexLizardxQueen]

Most stimulating. :-)

[andrebreton4]

please come to Calgary and play in my backyard....I promise it won't be as lame as most prairie concerts....I promise to hip thrust; often!

For those not from western Canadiana there is no soul here, no appreciation for talent, but if you like cows and hockey.... there is life for you.

[MissFridolina]

I've never listened to The New Pornographers before and I must say this song is very good!
