Silverchair - Ana's Song (Open Fire)

[reckozahm]

he was pretty boy back then, but now hes gotten all those muscles worked out and lived a healthy life.. anorexic no more.

[heatherdumas]

*sigh* He is my soul-mate. I wish he was here.

[joaopunkrock1]

[StoneMatheus]

PC !!!

[jasminkurwa]

he was fucking cute. beautiful people shouldn't live on this same planet as ugly ones.. sad :P

[enigma414]

i heard it's about these nuts!!! and how he won't eat them

[JesusKrispies]

It's funny how much we hated Silverchair at the time, but once the hype passed they turned out to be a damned fine pop band.

[spartafxrs5]

what i most hate about him is that, even though how much unhealthy he became, he still looked damn great...

[QUEEN97ification]

i have the strongest urge to kiss him throughout this video 0-------0

well, anyway this song is very very beautiful

[Mrfalcon89]

good song.damn you anorexia

[KushChosen]

damn he did look like Kurt didnt he?

[heatherdumas]

@KushChosen Kurt is cute, but I think Daniel is a million times cuter than him. Just my opinion :)

[leogrunger97]

Amo silverchair, amo este tema!!! GRUNGE IS NOT DEAD.

[MsSewik]

so many years and still the same feeling...one the most beautiful videos I've ever seen!!!!!!!

[skinblacks]

New band from Brazil very good --> /watch?v=ftfWeDYiIFI&feature=r­elated

BayDrake - Liliane

[Jauckor]

15 Anas dislike this song.

lol

[Zozo1522]

today in pe theory, my teacher showed us this video and at the end asked what its about, i called out anorexia, he said no, and started going on about a story about a girl named anna that got slipped ecstasy at a party and died later that night,

does this song have anything to do with that?

[MrLoveMusicArt]

@Zozo1522 My friend told me she saw an interview with Silverchair about the song and they said it's about anorexia. It might be about different things.

[emmabacklund]

@Zozo1522 Oh god no you're teacher got that all wrong. It is in fact about anorexia, Daniel Johns suffered from anorexia himself.

Did your teacher even bother to read the lyrics lol

"And Ana wrecks your life

Like an anorexia life"

[Merijonna]

@Zozo1522 LMFAO your teacher is totally wrong you had it right if you read the lyrics you can tell I love you to the bones, anorexic people end up skin and bones. I loved this song since the moment I heard it because back then I was anorexic

[RamblinWombat19]

@Zozo1522 Sounds kinda like your P.E. teacher might be making some of his theory up, based on what he/she needs to teach and trying to create non-existent relevance for what should be good ol' Aussie music discussed and debated in Health or Nutrition class...

No shortage of drug-related songs out there if they need to make a point, but this isn't what Ana's song said to me.

[edwardsbella1000]

@Zozo1522 It's about anorexia.

[garabeca]

Grundge mundge viva los 90's

[calmyafarm]

At the time I liked this song, but didn't think it was as amazing as I do now. I reckon everything improves in retrospect!

[AnnaBeatrizP]

*----------*

[munkster10]

I remember seeing this played live when I was a teen. It was awesome



[sweenybones]

@letswakethesun i do actually know how it feels , like you have to get rid of every bit of fat and eventually flesh i had/ have ana and mia .

[sweenybones]

can someoe please explain the symbolisim of the girl bleeding hands?

i know the song is about anorexia.

[letswakethesun]

@sweenybones I believe, to be honest, she's trying to wash through the dirt or flesh. For instance, "the flesh feels thicker".

Not only that, anorexia causes skin to not even come off after awhile, or even to decieve you. You'd be surprised.

I hate to admit it, but I've been a victim of the disorder, and you can totally fall victim to wanting skin off of you. Gross as it is.

However, in this video, it starts with dirt, so maybe she wants her hands clean, possibly to the bone? idk.

[momNkids5]

i was born in the 80's but listen to music from the 50's all the way up to todays music.

[TheChilli86]

It's unbelievable that it's now 11 years when I heard this song for the first time. Yes, Silverchair was music of my youth!

[xxxmehbrokensoulxxx]

could someone explain to me what he went through exactly? sorry i was reading comments and got confused...

also if this song is about ana whats wrong with her hands?

sorry if i sound stupid

[08scarecrow08]

@xxxmehbrokensoulxxx 'Ana' represents anorexia. If you read the lyrics with the thought of anorexia, you'll understand even more.

[xxxmehbrokensoulxxx]

@08scarecrow08

i meant what the singer went through and what the girls hands bleeding has to do with ana. i am very aware that the song is about ana.

[08scarecrow08]

@xxxmehbrokensoulxxx Oh, alright. My bad, sorry!

[13kittie1]

no unprophesy I was born in the 70"s I really went thought 80's music... you jealous???

[ViolentPassions]

This song always gives me chills

[forklifta]

There was this of corse. A generation changer but many didn't know it at the time

I for 1 voted for SC in the JJJ charts, remember how cool festivals were before they were commercially owned?

I loved triplej festivals, MTV or channel V music is SHIT

[forklifta]

Fuck me 20 years ago, there was better stuff around but it is mad the think this was that long ago

[forklifta]

I AM NOT BUYING THE ADVERT SHIT

[Warkenshin]

it's funny, because back to the 90's everybody complained about how a crap was the 90's music comparing to the 80's... xD

[rodrygodias]

@Warkenshin everybody was talking about it because I didnt know the shit that would be the 2000s

[MsMrManonDude]

@Warkenshin If that's true, I don't want to know which crap we got to deal with in 2020 O_O

[mclick13]

@Warkenshin I totally agree, I said it myself in the early 90's.  I think I was in grade 10 (1992) and was saying how shitty the music was. I quit ,just listening, to Canadian radio where they force fed you the same crap every day and realized that there was some awesome music being made in the 90's. I really miss those days and the music that went along with them.

[MarieOlander100]

@Warkenshin wait 10 years and people will miss our days music

[canguroman]

@Warkenshin don't know what music your were listening to mate, but the 90's kicked ass!!!....I was there for Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Guns N Roses, Weezer, Sublime, Soul Asylum, Smashing Pumpkins, Rage Against The Machine, The Presidents of he United States of America, PJ Harvey, Offspring, No Doubt, Meat Puppets, Mudhoney, Mad Season, Veruca Salt and fuckin' Tool !!!!!...........anybody got any more to contribute,..please!!!

90s ruled bro!!!!

[ToadsMGodes]

@canguroman I don't think he was implying that 90's sucked.

[angeldustnights3000]

@canguroman yeah you forgot the red hot chili peppers and faith no more and janes addiction and metallica and mother love bone and blur and oasis and the pixies!

[tuliocarvalh0]

@Warkenshin it's true

I remember to hate Silverchair and like Led, AC/DC, etc. Now I love both!

[GrUngeRoCK101]

yeah!! 90's was the shit back then. i live my life as a teen back in the 90's.

[hatongification]

im lucky born in 80's, coz i hear the good music in 90's, silverchair, the smashingpumpkins,and nirvana... owww really miss 90's

[BellamyJelly]

i'm so glad he is feeling well now. i wish i could meet him and talk to him. please die ana..

[KungFuCollie]

Long hair really suits him. So beautiful and talented - why'd he have to go through this? It's too sad. x

[NekoMadeInJapan]

i'm not Pro Ana, i am ANOREXIC.

'cause "ana" is not a goddess, is just a freaking disease!

[gargobyle1]

is very good

[MsMinotauro]

ana i love u

[magicpeach2011]

@MsMinotauro I'm all for Mia

[BlahBlahSomethingful]

@MsMinotauro i do too.

[panyaw1]

He sang this song from the heart.

[xhoffartx]

[Buchciok]

Tu Polacy, przejmujemy film

[cliffzcath]

I was only eleven when I've first heard it... :)

[carinewonderlist]

@cliffzcath My god, me too!!!! :)

[fasolplanetarium]

This song is absolutely gorgeous, but the Open Fire part kills it for me. If there was no "Open fire..." I'd say this is one of my favorite songs.

[ZeraphinaJ]

My friend died from anorexia a couple of weeks ago (Rest in peace girl! <3) and I really tought that THAT would give my head some peace..

I've really struggled beating this since August this year when I got pregnant.

I'm stupid cause I can't wait till I give birth to my child so I can loose all weight again..

I hate and love this every second.

This song really gets me trough <3

[butcherscott]

@ZeraphinaJ I'm sorry to to hear about your loss . . . take every day one at a time. Your beatiful on the inside no matter what anyone says zera

[rbrandzz]

<3

[sickenedemotion]

@carolinenicolehall you want him to be sick again?..

[Nemoness123]

@carolinenicolehall He was very, very sick here. So let's not have him look like that, that means he'd be sick from Anorexia again...

[Ann5160]

Ele tem lindos olhos azuis.

[dazadestroy]

this band still exist?

[actingaccordingly14]

@dazadestroy They made two albums after this and disbanded earlier this year =(

[dazadestroy]

@actingaccordingly14 ooh, thanks 4 the information

[Makavelina]

Almost forgot about this song, I loved it when I was 15 :)))

[axelyanskie]

astig!

[18adryana]

nosss ele é uma graçinha

[Jessidna]

miss.

[unprophesy]

i was born in 1980.. really went through 90's music.. jealous anyone? hahahahaha!

[SuperSexyBC]

@unprophesy not really lol

[punkabeza]

@unprophesy just in time to listen backstreet boys and spice girls.



[hootieti]

@unprophesy me too! high five!

[Tamiko007]

@unprophesy Hahaha. I was born in 1980, too. :) Music from 80's & 90's was really amazing. ♥

[flmvdvsrg]

@unprophesy fuck i was born at the end of the grunge era (1996) well at least i was born when good music was still ''mainstream'', but i didnt enjoy it and now most of the ''mainstream'' music is shit

[fiatemWswiat]

@unprophesy i was born in 1982 : >

[SpoonMan90s]

@unprophesy I feel jealous a lot! :D Hahah!

[DaddyWarbucks452]

@unprophesy I was born in 1985 but grew up on 90s music so I know what you've been through.

[drunkensessions]

Guess what, I disliked this. Just to fuck with ya.

[lfelgueta]

Este tema me trae muchisimo recuerdos, decada de los 90. Nunca supe que banda cantaba cantaba esta cancion, por suerte hoy lo se.

[heatherdumas]

@rmdp3 hot damn, I know whatcha mean! He's a sexy mofo, isn't he? ;)

[Ritson1992]

open fiiiiire lol amazin'



[BusinessSocks101]

my dad was in the band comp with these dudes when they won

[mzgreendayfan]

Daniel is too fucking hot.

[Jrodman86]

I think if Daniel lost wieght, shaved his facial hair, and grew his hair out he would look just like he did in this video. I will remember Daniel Johns as this person because I was and still am this person.

[drakenette13]

@Jrodman86 Yeah but I think he got tired of people thinking he looked like a girl, now he looks more manly. He still is pretty hot. Ages very nicely. When he was married to natalie imbruglia some greek paper down in australia, thought they were a "lesbian couple" and thought it was disgusting that they were holding hands in public. So to say something like him having to look like he did in his teens is just plain ridiculous. He is still the same person with or without a beard.

[Jrodman86]

@drakenette13 I never said he had to look like that, I just said I will remember him this way because it's what I remember growing up. He was about 21 in this video too I believe. Also he looks cooler to me like that.

[grillmeasteak]

I'm 31 and I could give 2 shits when you were born, or what era of music you claim. We're all here at this video for a reason. Happy listening!

[304desmond]

@tragicRob Amen brother, we 80's babies need to stick together.

[aanemichelle]

amoooooooooooooooo

[livredesd]

damn i was born in 1996 fuck!

my generation is fucked up

today's music sucks so bad................

nobody cares the real talent anymore ,.................. money money is all about

[TheHBPencil28]

It makes me feel sick that i can relate to this song so much. I don't want to be able to! but i gotta say, he got it all perfect...

[Jrodman86]

I was born in 86. That counts, right? I was a teen in 99. Who cares anyway, I just love this music!

[Nincidibu]

@tragicRob, @SopeV0Point Hail the 1990's generation, I was born in 1983

[SopeV0point1]

@tragicRob jesus, I was born in 82, where have all the people my age gone? retired already?!?!

[HomeComingPrisoner]

@SopeV0point1 nope, alive n kicking :)

[factorycreated]

I can't listen to this song without getting a little teary. The way John's has perfectly described the relationship between the disorder and the person with the disorder is done so poetically and enchanting it's frightening. I also love all the symbolism in the video, it's fantastic, and artistic.

[eurobred]

i think that Tripple kill turned me on DAMN! lol!

[jadegirl12]

this guy is beautiful. o_o

[tbk16evt]

great quality

[CharlieBeerling1]

Thumbs up if Charlie Simpson and Dave Mcpherson's cover brought you here :)

[DarickMatter]

dude this song is about him suffering from anorexia nervosa. this is true music, none of this bull*** music that people play now. silverchair was one of the best and MOST meaningful bands ever. especially for someone who suffered manic depression, anorexia and severe arthritis

[ZDeathLullaby]

I really hope people know what this song is really about...

[arturpanico]

fodaa demais

[VampireBlood41]

1:55 <3

[pattyhranica]

omg lov lov lov this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Splatterbugz]

I will ALWAYS love Silverchair no matter how old I get...Daniel Johns is LOVE.

[TheDeftones4lyf]

I want his eyes they're beautiful!!!

[0coliflor0]

I LOVE THIS SONG, I LISTEN IT ALWAYS!!!!! AMAZING MESSAGE

[Drainyoux1]

290272

Why?! This song is the best, I'm 13 and i love grunge, 90's is the best.

[fiatemWswiat]

@Drainyoux1 im 30 i was growing up on silverchair , take care mate!

[NovemberRain185]

@tragicRob yeah really only counts if you were like born between 90-94 possibly 95

[guilhermerj]

I feel like I'm 16 again... Good times... :)

[Bearsythetyrant]

And you're my obsession

I love you to the bones

[AdenStar3]

One of my favorite songs for all the times

[pizik2]

sweet video 

[EvieTaylorNixon]

Can someone give me a proper explanation of this song? (:

If someone asks me what this song is about I want to be able to give them a good description? (:

[DanielleEllin]

@EvieTaylorNixon The song is about anorexia :(

[luluzinhafoxxx]

@EvieTaylorNixon "Ana's Song" é uma canção que falo da fase em que o vocalista Daniel Jones sofria de um distúrbio alimentar - anorexia. Isso está bem explícito no clipe.

[nlplisaxo]

:/ so sad

[Kimibear69]

Omg its my song :} <3 lolz i love this song AND it has my name in the title :D

[CrownedWithLaurels]

I'm so sick of all this "music today sucks" bullshit. Popular music has ALWAYS been 90% shit to 10% good stuff. But we FORGET the bad stuff. We've forgotten all the shit from the sixties and seventies and whatever and we only remember the good stuff, so it seems like all there was back then was good music. But that's just not true. And there are loads of brilliant musicians right now. They just aren't on the radio cos they haven't had time to become "greats" yet. Get over yourself people!

[SkuldBR]

@CrownedWithLaurels I agree with you when you say that the bad music was always there, and we just forget about those songs. But the big problem today is that people don't make music with a message. A serious message. People make music today to make money, and this is the only reason. I miss the time when I could watch MTV for a long time and listen to good music. Today we have good musicians, I'm pretty sure, but they're not gonna become "greats" because the great music don't sell anymore...

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@SkuldBR Well, think about it - it's MTV that sucks, really. That channel is just dead these days. The great music is out there - maybe it won't sell as well as the popular crap, but often, neither did the people we think of as greats back in their day! Even the Beatles got beaten to the Number One spot many times by bands we've forgotten now. What matters is staying-power - in thirty years who's gonna be still standing? Only time will tell.

[SkuldBR]

@CrownedWithLaurels That's a good point. MTV is dead. I don't know about other countries, but here in Brazil you can see anything but videoclips in MTV. But I still think it's sad that some years ago we had much easier access to good music and nowadays we have to mine to find some good stuff.

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@SkuldBR That is SO true. There definitely needs to be a new MTV. The old MTV just needs to go die, or change its name to "shitty reality TV shows 'r' us".

[egzit]

@CrownedWithLaurels Agree, to a certain extent. Being the difference between now and the 90s that the good ones made it to TV in the 90s, and we had easy access to them by turning the TV on to any of the most popular channels. Turn the TV/Radio on today and all you get is Katy Perry and the likes. All due respect for Perry and her producers, but we'd be much better off if songs like this one still made it big and visible and we didn't have to dig to find the really good stuff.

[egzit]

@CrownedWithLaurels Also, the music we get bombarded with nowadays on the mainstream channels has no lyrical (or even musical, sometimes?) content whatsoever. I mean, "I whip my hair back and forth"? Silverchair, among others, were addressing the youth in a much more relevant and constructive way than singing about how "the club can't even handle me right now"...

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@egzit I agree, but I still think there's some confirmation bias coloring people's views of the past. Good music is still played on radio and TV - I could give some examples, but we might have vastly different ideas of good music :) True, the good music is a small drop in an ocean of vacuous crap - but the same was true in the nineties. It was the age of the boyband, and for every Silverchair there were a dozen "Spice Girls" or "Nsync" clones. Time is the ultimate quality filter for music.

[jimmy56100]

@CrownedWithLaurels Amen.

[HomeComingPrisoner]

@CrownedWithLaurels but...where's the good stuff now? maybe it's jus me, but everything in music seems so bland now...even if the song happens to be good or the musicians do have talent, it all lacks tru passion... and the process of recording albums is more like making a nicely packed digital product....n no more concept albums...i'm afraid it's not about music anymore...

[CrownedWithLaurels]

@HomeComingPrisoner Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan, Glen Hansard, Iron and Wine, My Morning Jacket, Fleet Foxes, M. Ward, James Vincent McMorrow, Sia - these are artists I like, and that's a matter of taste. But even someone who DOESN'T like them could hardly deny they have passion as well as lyrical originality, musical talent, and albums that are low on overproduction. The good music IS out there, it's just not going to be brought to you - you have to go find it.

[pulsarcolosal]

@CrownedWithLaurels seriously, great insight you just gave me



[HannesPowerLoad]

Thats where silverchair started to sound sheit!! everyone who likes this here should go and listen to nickelback . URGHH

[LordChimera0103]

Wow, i have 6 years old when this music was released, now i have 17 years old, and i like it!
