of Montreal - An Eluardian Instance [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

[justifiedbydeath]

This has been my favorite Of Montreal song ever since I first heard it :)

[TwiliticHorizon]

How can you be on acid and still type or even use a computer correctly?

[Liityx]

Im on acid right now and this is actually the greatest thing I've ever seen. Like ever.

[jdoubledisco]

My roommate and his stoner friend sing this song like 20 times a night after blowing bowls. Equipped with a horn and a guitar, I believe they do this one better than the original.

[julianwithag]

do you remember?

[cuzimhuman]

this song never gets old. the title is definitely self- explanatory.

[unknownpleasures4]

ahhh

love the video and song

[originalsessions]

Paul Éluard was a surrealist and dadaist poet, who was also, interestingly enough, once married to Salvador Dali's wife, Gala.

[KurisutenS]

I wonder what happened though, why did all the kites fall, almost seems like their relationship lost its magic or something

[CrimsonDaffodils]

@KurisutenS Well, "An Eluardian Instance" is about the singer trying not to lose the person he loves. "Now I'm viewing my memory reel in reverse/ Scrolling back to come to feel your weather then/ Now I'm noting the inverse of our parabola/ To predict the points of thou-shalt-not-return." This relationship was a high to him; but all highs end, and they always feel artificial while they're still in place. His relationship wasn't strong enough to withstand the effects of the illusion shattering.

[KurisutenS]

@CrimsonDaffodils

Oh wow, thanks for telling me. This song is amazing :3

[ILikeMuffins01]

[jimmymortis]

@NoPlanetStudios You want your life to look like a music video? Your teenage years called, they want their addiction to superficial ambiance back.

[cupidescent]

[andybernard725]

:D i love this

[koprophage]

The horns in the chorus remind me of New Order, for some reason. I know they occasionally do a few lines from "Bizarre Love Triangle". Wonder if they consider the band an inspiration for this song.

[indiecindy92]

[MrsIndieRock]
