Blonde Redhead - Silently - Mike Mills

[madsketcher]

Oh, come on! Why show anything at all?

[717mienbao]

Not sure why race is specifically mentioned, it makes this story too simplistic and ever so black & white. The song already has lyrics that tell a story.

But hey, I'm all for people expressing and posting whatever they want.

@717mienbao All this video is doing is giving us a text version of one of Madonna's videos: Like A Prayer, I think.

[spacegravity]

This is just so wonderful. I love the way that the text works, it's beautiful, I mean, he can make a piece of art only from this. I really have no idea of how Mike Mills is so creative, and with Blonde Redhead, daaaaamn they're so good togheter.

[arkaching]

like the way it references to Madonna video...it's the 2 vids are talking to each other!

take a look, play it synchronously with "like a prayer" by Madonna

[joehamle]

it must have been 20 times i keep repeating this song.. i never get tired of it ..maybe this song is the best way for me to understand you women

[pavolnocturnus]

Thats a text commentary of the Madonna video like a prayer. Am I right?

[donegalgirl28]

Watched it in two windows, yep,it is. Well spotted.

[gfreeman556]

Wow, thank GOD for making that connection. I was like... WTFF?!

[donegalgirl28]

Loving this song.

[utenzaa]

semplicemente fantastici

[therealalimccabe]

This is quite literally the worst thing my eyes have ever seen.

I'm sorry. I dont mean to be nasty.... :(

[fiendorgyfetisha]

well, blame Mike Mills, i think it sucks too :S

[Twenty3sog]

WORST VIDEO OF BLONDE REDHEAD EVER

[LordExarKun]

I think it's the best!

[MarTenSaa]

If they where going to do this anyway, why not to do a slideshow of the song's lyrics, they're so much better than: "She holds a knife in her hands. Her palms are cut."

[WaffleSDiarY]

its telling a story relative to the theme of the song...?

[LordExarKun]

Inspired I think.

Close caption of Madonnas stunning 1989 music video "Like a payer" directed by Mary Lambert, while "Silently, by blonde redhead" is played.

[jeebeedeevee]

cheers

[connorlalitte]

i'm really not sure about his videos.

top ranking was really good but i don't like the whole 'arty' stuff

why doesnt kazu and the twins appear in more of the videos?

the songs deserve so much more

[outlinedme]

totally agreed, this slideshow of words (because this ain't a video) it's pretty bad for such a good song.

[connorlalitte]

i hope they release more videos like 23

that was sooo cool :)

[pasipetteri42]

... (embarrassed)

[pasipetteri42]

Hahaa! Brilliant.

A little hint: Madonna.

[4mnesiac]

hey MIKE i have great music for your videos check this out youtube(DOT)com(SLASH)watch?v=­oAl8RgSQGaA. it's very nice, love your work.

[asophian]

okay, blonde redhead deserves a much better video than this. it feels like mike mills keeps having these video art ideas and randomly picked blonde redhead songs to play as soundtracks to his work. the only video that he made thats worth a blonde redhead song was 'top ranking,' because the video actually lets the song be the main point, not his statements about his 'art.'

>:-(

[blairshynola]

wow, i love it! the synopsis of the video reads like abstract poetry. :) beautiful.

[Optimistic08]

OMFG GOOD SONG ......AND SHIT VIDEO !  Fck

[doriamerda]

Very good low cost video! :D

[blurboy007]

you're a quick one

[blurboy007]

genius.

[clevername]

Maybe it was Genius in 1989, when Madonna did it. I think it was called Like a Prayer. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

[blurboy007]

boy, you're a quick one.

[genkiserb]

Mike Mills, please stop with this conceptual bullshit! This music is to good for that
