[TrevorChargers7]

these guys have to be on acid..

[scober69]

commander warf's white neighbour

[WillPoleVault4Food]

can you feel the KNIIIIIiaaaiiiaaaohhhhhOOOHHHH­H

[ToyotaGuy88]

What exactly just happened?

[aamethyst]

I LIKED THIS BEFORE SKINS. BUT WHEN IT CAME ON DURING AN EPISODE I SHIT MY PANTS. AND LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.

[iroolsomuch]

I'm sorry @mackles, how many songs have you written?

[mackles]

@iroolsomuch hahahahah 

[mytoiletisrunning]

Or illegal substances and sexual implications.... Which is also life.

[mytoiletisrunning]

What does it all mean!? \(*A*)/

Life, bro. Life is most definitely what is being conveyed here.

[FukknAliensBro]

They have the best videos Ive ever seen.

[kelly33507]

!!!!! O_o

[mackles]

I can already smell the hate comments...but seriously, does anyone else get annoyed by the lyrics of grizzly bear? They sound like he just pulls them out of his ass. A songwriter he is not

[Nick12395]

@mackles Yeah I know what your saying but I kinda disagree, it's simple lyricists like him who get the thinkers to over think, and then over analyze his lyrics just like what I'm doing right now.

[Nyxiebunny]

Dunno what the video means if there even is a meaning but it has something to do with a rock monster's crotch

[greenday29birth]

yes....i....like....thise song.

[NothingButtLove1]

LSD all the wayy

[low72]

ubyk is dope, whatchu talkin' bout willis?

[Garypetcrow]

I listen to this song as I take weed, whilst on heroin. During my crack comedown. Upside down. I a padded cell.

[Luanav1988]

This song saved my life.

[readie331]

wut

[mariangelus1]

you think is alright........... ouuuuuuuuuu

[MrJC4L]

Somebody, anybody, explain to me what the fuck just happened....

[monikawashere]

when i look in your eyeeeeeees.....

[monkeyfrogchickenleg]

i came in my pants.

[chrismarq21]

I'm scared. But the music is phenomenal.

[cyfercruss]

WOOOOOWWWWWW BRAINFUCKED. GREATTTTTT MUSIC hope they keep up

[reddie3333]

216 people have never felt the true effects of acid

[reddie3333]

I want what there having. TO ORIGINAL haha

[deathbyheadphones]

Star Trek.

[theCREWton17]

great song but this video is fuck up

[KrazyJATL420]

so hold on explain 2 me what the hell that was about

[sleepingrabbits]

did that guy just pull rocks out of his crotch and put it on the other dudes chest

[1234LETStartAwar]

@hrfrozenpuff i think they and portugal the man should tour together they both got that psychedelic rock and weirdish vibe going for them

[3400979]

@hrfrozenpuff Now? Dude, they've been "blown up" for years now. This is not indie music anymore. They are nice and signed and extremely mainstream now.

[musiccisum69]

@hrfrozenpuff who the F is wolf people or ubyk lol?

[Tystue]

So it's a weird ass vid with a hobo with a five head, and ends with him digging in the rock dudes crotch.... WTF

[agahonzjele]

215 people have not been abducted by an earth man, or did not understand it, like me.

[iClaudiaporras89]

Great song

[ProjectSalvo]

somehow, this video perfectly expresses the song. grizzly bear is amazing.

[aznfury456]

this is the trippiest shit to watch high

[vtec4111]

the most messed up video on youtube hands down!

[calvinandhobbes2004]

@vtec4111 Ha. You've obviously never seen The Avalanches' video "Frontier Psychiatrist".

[StrangerToEarth]

@calvinandhobbes2004

HEAR HEAR.

[PurpleMaestro]

Seems to be inspired by Kafka's killing machine in "In the Penal Colony"..

[ZackBum91]

strangest video i've ever seen

[MrTarnias]

And weed is illegal. Pfft.

[KelseyAndKeeley]

@MrTarnias should be

[KelseyAndKeeley]

@MrTarnias but this is like acid or shrooms

[NothingButtLove1]

@MrTarnias acid noob

[luvabean]

@ drlindow...thank you. I was jez about ta' lock in step with your thought and share your almost identical theory...

both of us managing i believe a pretty good interpretation...sans the word "vagina"

heh. good call, chap {;

[natfuckmother]

god this song is amazing. skins brought me here... thank you.

[drlindow]

So I think This Video is about ....Man using industry to harm Mother Earth...making it unstable and its a disaster... Mother Earth gets mad retaliates against man...after almost all man is gone from the earth or poisoned... then mother earth uses her fruits to heal man and invites man back into Mother Nature's Womb... weird triply video but Grizzly Bears are the Shit

[dianaelena29]

Does this video have to do in any way with the movie "Enemy Mine" from the 80's? (Snipes & Quayle)

[DrProWalrusXXX]

looked more like a traffic cone to me

[Raydienz]

I have yet to come across a Grizzly Bear video clip which does not give me nightmares.

[MedsforMelancholy]

Oh man... Is that you Sam Beam?

[cerealluvr]

4:44 wtf?!

[greenpurpleblueguy]

art is something that creates emotion and triggers new thought.

[Ccharger50]

Looks like where The Pixies filmed the Velouria video

[lacivita15]

My mind is officially blown.

[Tengent]

4:44 is one of the coolest things I've seen. x.x

[almavnoriega]

omg, watching this high...incomparable...

[ChelupeMenuto]

2nd best song ever next to in my time of dying

[jb4241996]

i think the meaning of this video is a man(possibly alien) has found grizzly bear in the middle of the desert making"rock"(literally) and then rock pierces into his body, then it pulsates through his body and a "rock goddess" comes and saves him but know rock is in his body so he must go look for it, and once he reaches it again he must search through the top rock(mainstream) to get to the center(rock goddess(grizzly bear))

[jslocum89]

everybody keeps talking about the meaning of their videos...i think they just like being weird. i do.

[JJJJJJJJDDDDDD]

@jslocum89

I Agree. It's good to be weird.

[3521soda]

this video is tryppy as fuck

[aotwtelevision]

awesome song

[dollytkmable]

Don't knw who sounds stupider... the guys tryin to xplain the video and saying it has a lot of soul or the guys making their retarded comments about sex. Lmfao

[FionaBoosh]

@dollytkmable You.

[amarekaxx]

probably the coolest music video ive seen in a while i wish i could direct something like that.....ad it means the director was trying to make you guys ponder on what this video is about newbs it means many things and only the person who thought it will know.

[amarekaxx]

did that alien just take off his penis and stick it to that guys chest?

[17ScionFlames]

@Soulvania it seem like your right but there seems to be a emphasis on sex too.

[djangokill666]

the song is about fucking. the knife = the dick. get it? the video is just extremely abstract. but if you listen to the lyrics you'll get it.

[ShipsAnchor]

@djangokill666 Yours is like a knife? I think you ought to see a doctor mate..

[MikeTVee73]

That's a nugget alright, that's a real gem...

[johnbenjamin12]

Shittier than the Girl Talk version.

[Samwighs]

They've got a lot more soul than a lot more people than I know. And their artistic expression of themselves is em-eigh-zing

[lovelymissmisslovely]

fucking awesome video!!!!!

props!



[enzo275]

He's crawling into its booty.

[LittlexDreamer]

The beginning sounds like Beetlebum by Blur

[aestheticaddiction]

the beginning strumming reminds me of a bush song. still love you grizzly <3

[breakfasttomorrow]

you think its alright. you thinks its alrighhhht

[TrilobiteFilms]

I think it's about seeking enlightenment in the terrible wastes beyond desire. It's alien out there, and indifferent to death and suffering.

[REEKS305]

The Residents and Aphex twin have the craziest videos EVER!

[Sarkoulis]

MASSIV'''''''' LSD TRIP

[guccigirlburr]

SWAG

[heatherlovebug1]

...and people say lady gaga is the first fucked up musician

[aubymady13]

@heatherlovebug1 in no way are they 'fucked up' their music has a meaning... you just don't get it

[kaffyx]

This was a bit preposterous, I really don't know what to think of it LOL.

[bluewolf7451]

Why can't i stop masturbating?

[budsmokersonly2008]

@bluewolf7451 because you have an inability to cum?

[peppersJF]

Hey everyone, I just uploaded a new song for my solo project Glacierbrain called 'Polka'. Grizzly bear are a massive influence on my music, as are bands like Radiohead and Tv on the Radio. So if you want to support some unsigned music I'd really appreciate it if you'd give it a listen.

Cheers

Glacierbrain

[MrAsmodeus26]

...and son that's how babies are made.

[ThePMRadio]

It's been a year and a half and the top comments still have something to do with how high these guys were when they made these videos.

[jamieether]

I hate the fact that people link imagination and creativity to drugs. Some people are actually just creative, I know, hard for small minded people to imagine. :P

[certifiedpet]

btw this video is freaking awesome

[sk84darkstar2]

ummm drug addicts? YEP!!

[certifiedpet]

@sk84darkstar2 isnt that a little quick to jump to conclusions? just because the video is weird they must be drug ADDICTS? what does that even mean? they are heroin junkies? do you even see a difference between drugs that are not alcohol or tobacco? what drugs are ok to be addicted to? caffeine? fyi psychedelics are not addictive.

[sk8ordie39]

i dunno what the hell i just watched , but i like it haha

[bawhite125]

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

[palbo4]

whaat the hellll

[cockroachbalogna]

soo dood uses machine on earth, earth stabs the shit out of him, kills a bunch of people. earth man saves him, and they both go live in the earth's vagina?

[demonyny]

so the whole thing was about giving the rock giant a penis?

[nebnampach]

This better not have been a real event.

[thegmanyo]

This music video is a lot funnier with Rock n Roll by Skrillex playing instead of Grizzly Bear.

[liaiscool333]

great song, groovy video. All of their videos are a bit wtf! and mind blowing, because their creative and cool and maybe they are on drugs..so what if it leads to this then pass the joint!

[air0between0fingerz]

you don't have to take shrooms to be creaive... though it does help

[KerouacDon]

so.. rockman saved frown-lineman's life with his family jewels, although frown-lineman ruined the machine and caused the deaths of four men?

i'll just infer from this that grizzly bear is against resource excavation that harms ecosystems.. at least that's what i got out of it.. love the song.

[Brianna2609]

the idea for this video most likely came from something ray bradbury wrote. haha.

[TheDevilsrejects420]

I like this song due to the way it makes me feel. It's just simply beautiful yet haunting.

[SuperYaank]

MGMT - Congratulation

[Soulvania]

I think the meaning of this video is that we take nature for granted and we abuse it whenever we want, when really it gives us life. We shouldn't be rough and fast, we have to take it slow and respect her and sometimes that means going down on mother earth. A powerful piece of art.

[polidosk8]

@Soulvania fuck, stop giving meanings to music videos, it's just idiotic.

[swayzemastaflax13]

@Soulvania by going down im guessing you mean we should give mother nature head?

[yourvigilante]

@swayzemastaflax13 HAHAHAHHAHA!!!

[Samwighs]

@Soulvania I agree with your synopsis on potentiality of purpose. Though I thihk the lyrics show that 'mother earth' (or a woman) can be a bitch sometimes too.. "I want you to know, when i look in your eyes, with every blow comes another lie. You think it's alright.(x4) Can't you feel the knife.(x4)" It's kindof like she's always lying to him and her words inflict this great pain. Maybe in the end, the struggles we have with the females in our lives force us to live and grow.

[TheUltimateCondom]

@Soulvania i dont think it means anything

[YoungStevesie]

@Soulvania

Or 2 friends,

[WHOxDUNxIT]

idk wtf just happened, i just know that i just felt

[TheIndierockfan]

@lidenqdenq

i was quoting the lyrics...

[chefgiovanni]

reminds me of Willie Wonka and the Hills have Eyes

[TechFXpunk]

This music video makes me feel like I'm watching a Mighty Boosh episode

[JJJJJJJJDDDDDD]

love!

[LocoUlysses]

Think I saw Saul of the Mole Men in there

[93MBJ]

what the hell?

[eekman87]

what does this video mean!? I'm high as shit and still don't understand? great song tho

[CamSR20DET]

@eekman87 I think its about being stabbed in the back, false hopes or beliefs, or deception. I used to get high alot, didnt really understand it then, still dont really understand it now - I try though

[Dave2bu]

happened to me once.

[07smileyjk1910]

um.. um.. WTF

[RawImpactZz]

i think its fair to say, that guy has had a pretty rough day, i mean he wasnt the luckiest kid at birth by the looks of his face but hes been on some serious trip!

[Signorellielli]

This gave me a derection. It hurts.

[grinningcolosus]

what

[chewbaccaflakaflame]

not hungry anymore...

[kelpyandhorny]

I had always known about Grizzly Bear, but haven't really listened to much more than Two Week because I thought it was all to slow and pretty. Now I came back months later, and I'm now kind of obsessed with them.

[socksnundies]

Who the heck are these guys? Why haven't I heard of them before?

[MrYootubesucks]

Great song! One of the best I have heard in a long time!

[mikeisapro]

In the end he was saved by a rock-man. This implies that to heal the wound the "knife" has caused, we need to return to Nature (Terence Mckenna calls the return to nature "The Archaic Revival"

[mikeisapro]

the "knife" may be an expression of pain that the powers that be cause the masses. Notice what they are doing in the beginning, extracting shit from the earth (Industrial society). In this light, the knife is the pain humanity causes itself (and everything else) when we squander the resources of the planet.

[mpiv94]

i just had an epiphany

[ysfnvji]

Incredibly disturbing yet awesome

[airbornemilk89]

what. the. FRAK?!

[facecheek]

well...can't you feel the knife? i can feel the knife.

[Annie805]

I am in love.

[obliquespiral]

I can't believe how incredible this is... Grizzly Bear must be from another planet. Just like psychedellics, it all makes sense now.

[TheRosie96]

oh look its mad twatter *sid voice* :L

[JayLaneLane]

..... What the Fuck Did I Just Watch?

[JakeHardy]

@JayLaneLane I was scrolling down to comment the exact same thing lol, what the fuck!

[LolAtYurMom]

Love this band, best music for studying ever.

[thundermaze003]

I love this song but this video just confuses me.

[ronniepooch]

waht da fack ?

[yellowriver23]

wtf is the sand man pulling out of his penis?

[ItsLehcar]

i love grizzly bears. they are such an amazing band. i like how this song kinda has a 50s feel to it. but the music video started getting a little weird after that alien thing started picking crystals from his dick lol.

[xokatem]

this is hilariously dumb.

[pepe7drum]

3:39 everything hunts me from there to the end

[SCMBGProductions]

He gets eaten by a giant cave vagina at the end.

[tsferg]

Dict the red hot chilli peppers make a video out of this same scenery? Breaking teh girl? Does anyone know where the opening scene is filmed?

[xSavannahJoycex]

I get really sad when he goes in after the creature and it pans out to the creature shaped mountain. He's searching for something he's already a part of.

[Sixsix8080]

@xSavannahJoycex plus he is the penis

[ixxpanduhxxi]

everyone is obviously on acid which is a good thing

[bluesensationist]

i automatically thumbs down any comments having to do with any famous pop artists.

[tsferg]

@bluesensationist Why? Grizzly Bear is getting pretty popular dude.

[bluesensationist]

@tsferg im talking about just bieber and lady gaga references...

[tsferg]

@bluesensationist Gotcha

[Roseharris20]

I liked it they remind me of mgmt
