The Killers - Equine

Video: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
Audio: 'Human' by The Killers

I hope you enjoy this video.

At first blush, this song seems directly at odds with the video chosen to accompany it. However, what does it truly mean to be human? Is it just a physical form? Is it just one species? Or can the fundamental concept of Human be applied more broadly.

This is a theme that is woven through Science Fiction of course. The song itself delves into this concept. In this context, human is not a form, but a state of being. Being Human, in this song, refers to living and being who and what you are, unlike the concept of Dancer, wherein one is a puppet bound by strings made by ones submission to external forces.

We see this, too, in My Little Pony. When Discord ensares the Ponies, are they truly themselves, or are they just Dancer, moving according to external will? The physical body is the same, if a bit monochromatic. They possess the same memories and genetics. Physically, they remain little different. But they respond differently, and we know them to be 'wrong' at some fundamental level.

Thus, this song and this show both explore these themes of Humanity and Self.

I can't believe this doesn't have more views. This is just phenomenal. Normally it takes a lot more in terms of editing and syncing to make me say that, but this video doesn't even need that. It tells the story with music and emotion and expression. It's wonderfully simplistic and, although the editing is very straightforward, you picked the best scenes for the job.

This is great. It deserves to be on Equestria Daily.

How does this have no views, this is amazing

A video this insanely good deserves about 1E10^8 more views. Quite apart from that, I've never even heard of the band, but the song is amazing as well.

Nicely done

The Killers fanboy and brony here. This is absolutely amazing! :D

Extremely creative use of scenes that sum up many of the themes that make both this song and MLP:FIM so amazing. Great work!

It's so simple, the clip choices are great, the timing flows just right, and even the choice of characters for the grace and virtue, good, soul and romance, and devotion part fit nicely.

Add on top of that that I like ponies and The Killers to start with, and you can sum it up to "I love this! <3"

Very good job on the vid!

@honkan1 I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!

I was so happy to see that our submission was accepted. This so deserves some love. It sure as hell deserved more than ~70 views and 0 likes.

Wonder if the creator is gonna be surprised when he sees his video has gone from 60 views and 0 likes to... well, this. =)
