A Silver Mt. Zion - Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)
This is a fan music video for A Silver Mt. Zion's song "Ring Them Bells (Freedom Has Come and Gone)". It's from their album "Horses in the Sky" where the band was called "Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band".
All pictures and video clips on the video are shot by me. I tried to use pictures that'd fit with the atmosphere and I also tried to sync the pictures with song tempo. I don't think I succeeded that well, but the point in this video is the music, I love this song. The song is actually 13:58 long, but I only used the beginning from it (about 0:45 - 4:10).

Lyrics:
Ring them bells
Ring them sorrowfull bells
Now freedom has come and gone
We've been waiting so long
Never ever so long
Now freedom as come and gone
Shake that tail
Like any other worried soul
Now freedom as come and gone
Steamtrain's coming
Thirteen stories high
If that steamtrain don't come
I swear i will lay down and die
The city makes canyons
All littered with snow
And beneath their crummy towers
Our tiny bodies blow and blow
So drown them bells
Drown them miserable bells
Freedom has come and gone
Freedom has come and gone
Freedom has come and gone
Freedom has come and gone
...
Also, some pictures were used twice. So sue me.

you know, godspeed you! black emperor's music was in the motion picture titled 28 days/weeks later and it was not SOOOOOOOO appalling.

BUT!!! YOU CUT IT OFF!????
You could have just put a still up and let the entire song play out.... IT'S SO AMAZING AND THE ENDING IS THE BEST PART!!!
GAaaaahhhhh, don't leave us hanging like that! Now I have to go pull out my vinyl and hook up my record player.

it was a rhetorical question. not a stupid question.
-
great video! not too flashy good job!

free will and determinism, I should have said :p
-
free will is a philosophical concept which has been debated for over a thousand years, long before Marx.
I agree with you though :)

...everybody else in the country. if he had lived in manchester, he may not have been as such a legendary musician. Or Efrim, for example - if he was born into a family of Republicans, he would have never written such fantastic protest music. The last one is a stupid question. Of course corporations control what people think. Corporations control society, and society controls the way we think.

random pics and boring cuts... that's the truth. the music is great..of course..but doesn't need such a video to destroy the images that the music is supposed to create in an open mind.

You're quite right. Pics are random, but I just did the best with what I had. The important thing is the music, but I think it needs some images too here on Youtube. After watching the video, listening to the great music, after bying the album perhaps, one can create their own images inside their heads when listening to the music. I don't think that this video makes that harder in any way.

very good. but i've never heard this version. i have one where the vocals are harder to hear and then the music shifts and the lyrics go "We was tumbling birds hanging in the sky" do you know what i'm talking about, or recognize those lyrics?
Virtuson 4 years ago
That's later in the same song, on about 4:30. Doesn't the version you have have the beginning (the part my video has) at all?
