What I am more curious about... when/where will be the first choreographic attempt at this vespa ride at a gig? Any volunteers for role-playing?  ;D

It wouldnt be a very interesting or democratic forum if any of us with negative views on nma's videos or songs "shut the **** up" that is one of the main reasons for a forum and getting angry(or happy,excited,melancholic etc) at art is arts raison d'etre so again that is its point, however to completely contradict at earlier post i made about the video it am starting to like it "slightly" and in some bizarre way it almost fits the song, i still havent got much of a clue whats going on it though, im gonna sit down and read the lyrics when i get a spare moment and see if they make it clearer.

Yeah, "shut the F up" was obviously not meant as an appeal to forum people - sorry. It's just the approach I would take if I seriously dislike something (e.g. mushrooms :P)... I don't feel I need to bother to dwell on it for the purpose to spreading my taste. I don't sign up for a Bieber forum either just to have a go at it.. while slightly far-fetched (or offensive?  ;D)... my point is that arguing about taste leads nowhere. And the complaints about it being too light-hearted or disconnected from the song have no basis for me whatsoever to be honest...

In any case, I don't understand the video either, and certainly didn't expect something like this... which is why I like it - always something new to fall in love with. And honestly, much more appealing and sympathetic than any desperate attempt at creating some ethereal dark, grave spheres in a video... yawn.... I find that mostly tumbles into pieces if it doesn't reach you at the exact right mood level...

The album is all about creating space... so, here's a new dabble into unexpected spaces of humor. Good on them for not taking their own work so dead serious :)

I'd have to say Ive rewatched it again and tbh my opinions changed. Its not as wtf as first watch and I appreciate the humour in it and it is a fun video. And why not? Theres plenty of serious stuff out in the real world. Fair play.

Well, I'm surprised how seriously this video is discussed here! I tend to agree with lfran. The video looks like a bunch of guys spent a night out in their local pub and then went home with one of them and tried out his new film editing software. It is not meant to be an artistic illustration of the song, there's neither need to interpret its deeper meaning, nor to condemn its lack of artistic or intellectual value. It's just a bit of fun!!! And personally, I find it very refreshing to see a serious, passionate, dark band like NMA display a silly sense of humour.

Cheers,
Stefanie

i didnt mean to cause offence,all i meant was whilst listening tom the song they are not the sort of thing that i personally would picture,sort of like when you read a book you picture how things would look in your minds eye.Then when you watch a film based on that book it isnt always how you imagined it to be :) :)
