I don't get the snobbery (since when do videos have to relate substantively to the music?). Anyway, beautiful video, man -- seriously: top-notch.

@Macariotron Thanks man, glad you liked it

The Gallagher brothers must be crying in their sleep that they never wrote songs this good.

...and for the benefit of anyone who hasn't read Hunting Accidents here's how Bob describes the song:

"The thing is about growing up in Northridge, and probably any blue-collar town, is just what you do is get married right away. Have kids, have a family, get a job and everything. That's what 'Redmen and their Wives' is about, that concept, that notion. That's what you do. You don't even know what else there is. Your destiny's already laid out for you. I escaped it, but it cost me."

i thought the images where perfectly matched with the song , and dont see a need to change any of this in a remake , or anything else , great job!

@savannasaurus Thanks for that quote (and the video) gentleman, it made me put an order on Amazon...

This is one of my favorite songs ever

@captainbillshatner Hey, no worries...i probably would've made the same comment.! I'm the worst kind of snob, especially when it comes to gbv

[captainbillshatner]

@savannasaurus Sorry, didn't mean to be a snob.

@captainbillshatner Thanks for the comment. The video wasn't intended to be a literal translation of the song, i just wanted to do something a bit more interesting than just posting a picture of the album cover. I kind of liked the imagery and thought it tied in a bit with the cover art for Under The Bushes.

However, i agree, it is a pretty lame video!! ...It was one of my first ever attempts and i would like to have a go at re-making it sometime. I think the song deserves better!
