Videoclip no oficial de la canción Monochrome de Yann Tiersen (Le phare, 1998). Grabado y montado entre agosto y septiembre de 2006 en Valladolid.

Mi agradecimiento a:
Fernando, por estar siempre ahí cámara en mano, dispuesto incluso a jugarse la vida en un travelling vertiginoso.
Luismi, por hacer tan bien de hombre monocromo, por fumar, por pedalear con una broca y por ayudarme tanto en el duro proceso de montaje.
Roberto, por el viñeteo, el leit motiv y su apoyo desde el primer momento.
Dunia, por ser la musa del videoclip.
Rodri, ¡por la bici!
A ellos y a Elena, Eva, Jose, Lucía, Miguel y Luisma, por sus ideas, por el atrezzo, por sujetar y transportar cacharros de todos los tamaños y colores, por venir con la ropa que tocaba, etc, etc, etc.
Y, por supuesto, a Yann Tiersen, por canciones como ésta.

Monochrome by Yann Tiersen (Le phare, 1998). Unofficial videoclip made in Valladolid (Spain) between August and September 2006.


Letra/Lyrics:

Anyway, I can try
Anything it's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I'm tired now.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

I am pilling up some unread books under my bed
And I really think I'll never read again.

No concentration,
Just a white disorder
Everywhere around me,
You know I'm so tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event
Or something to remind,
But I've really got nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows
And listen people walking in the down streets.
There is a life out there.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

Anyway, I can try
Anything it's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I'm tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

  • i can not believe it .... amzing and very very good ... :D thanks

  • No, thank YOU. :)

  • yann is in the original. and video clip doesnt have to be by the lyrics. if it says that jumps over a cliff it would appear here too? try to find the true meaning of this song. still, good effort. pay atention to the violins, how great they sound.

  • A song has not a "true meaning", it has a meaning to Yann, a different meaning to you, and a different meaning to me. I tried to make a videoclip about the way I see the song, to capture the feelings that the song communicates to me, and they're obviously linked with the lyrics.

  • Esta francamente bien, de verdad, pero ya que tienes ganas y medios, te invito a que desarrolles tu propio estilo. Creo que te dejas llevar demasiado por el universo de Jean-Pierre Jeunet, pudiendo crear el tuyo propio (estoy seguro que el tuyo es tan bueno o mejor)

    El plano sobrexpuesto de la bicicleta me ha parecido delicioso. ;-)

    Sigue adelante.

    PD. Cuanto tiempo te llevo hacerlo?

  • ¡Muchas gracias!

    Sí que engaña el videoclip si parece que tengo medios. :D

    Lo del universo Jeunet me ha sorprendido, no me lo había dicho nadie.

    El "rodaje" duró unas cuantas semanas. No tenía pensado el montaje final, grabábamos de forma bastante improvisada a partir de ideas, así que llenamos casi 2 cintas de 50 minutos para menos de 4 minutos de videoclip...

  • i love this song and your video is amazing! congrats

  • ouch!!

    my heart...

  • Have i been hiding under a rock? Who have been hiding this masterpiece from me?>:O

  • Only a totally heartless people can dislike THIS...

  • FANTASTIC SONG........ 

  • i have been listening to yann tiersen for two hours...the best two hours of my life :3

  • hello i fond this now.. and i must say... i loved it ^^

  • @Robintie6 Ah well, if that would be as easy to do as it sounds like :) but yeah, I'll see what the psychologist says. Thanks again,

    VerHohnert.

  • @VerHohnert

    I just hope that you try to see your good parts and don't talk yourself down, there will be enough people to do that for you,....and what they say you shouldn't giva a damn about.

    a lot of good luck with your therapy and please don't be to hard for yourselfin that way,

    you just need a litlle push to get out of that black whole

  • @VerHohnert

    I don't think working more in school is the thing that make ones life better or worse, doesn't matter what kind of school you do or finish, what will make you a good person in life. and starting therapy with the thought of it as something useless will not help you eather,

    In my opinion you don't sound like a stupid or dum person and defenately not psychological wrong or something, you just seem kind of depressed,

  • @Robintie6 yeah, don't worry. already contacted a psychologist. You just have to wait about 4 months until you can start your therapy...even though I am quite sure it won't help, it's my life that sucks, not my psychological condition. The problem is, I know what It would take to change my situation (work more in school) , I am just not able to do so..anyway, thanks for caring,

    Verhohnert.

  • @VerHohnert

    It's kind of scary you say things like that, i know it is hard sometimes to try en see the good things in life, but please try if you are feeling so miserable.

    and let other people help you to do so too.

  • If I'll hear this song in 10 years again, I'll probably directly kill myself, just because I already know that I will end up in the exact same situation and after all, I'll be too tired. I already am, actually, just not brave or smart enough to end everything already and not enough power to change my life into something more positive and thatfor, there will just this monotiny left, leading me into the mean, the average.
