This is some old home movie footage I have had captured for a long time. I don't know who the people are, and I did not splice anything together. That being said, I find the original footage matches up with this song and especially the lyrics perfectly. If you're tuned to the right frequency, that is.

We Hate This City
by The Handsome Furs

Stuck to the sheets, clammy with noon
We wish for night time, a darkening screen
Open the heart, just a machine

Oh, there was home
Oh, there was home

This one is vicious, a sinister lean
We haunted the staircase where small ghosts have been
Weening that heaven was stretched out and wide
Into the sky
Into the sky

Oh, there was home
Oh, there was home

Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow

Oh, life is long and hollow
Oh, life is long and hollow

We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone
We hate this city, filled its drone

So black out million screens
And wire up the floor
Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want
But you won't know what it's for

So black out a million dreams
And wire up all the floors
Baby we can get you anything you want, any time you want
But you won't know what it's for

  • I can't stop watching this video. I first found this four months ago, and i still cry every time i see this video with this song. Just haunting and beautiful. You did a wonderful thing collaborating these. Thank you so much

  • This is beautiful. Amazing.

  • So do you have any idea of the footage? Love the song and Dan Boeckner, but the video is very cool and i was just wondering if you had any background of it.

  • Yeah, I do too.

  • Awesome song. Awesome video.

    I love how Canadian this group is.

  • I like this video it all sort of fits in a really neat way.

  • i enjoy the ending, when the boy falls at the end of the song and pulls the dog around.

  • stuck to the sheets, clammy with noon...

  • woke up with blankets in buildings with jaws
