    Ok i listened to this Song for a year now. At first I was obsessed with the fact, that the Video is uncanny mystical witch-art, its on the edge of sadness, wisdom, horror and comedy. It offers comedic relief for things there shuldnt be had none. It also offered me a non hardfactual insight into the feelings of (a) woman and I still open myself to let that sink in. But today I decided to write this comment because I realized that this Song is also musically unbelievably groovy and funky. Its just such a joy to dance to it. The groove is unreal, I cant even think of anything that has this soft subtle but brilliant funk to it. So yeah, im unworthy, thank you!

      Same drill here; but my ferret sneeringly declared "Wake up, retro-consumerist chump! Vinyl's a thing of the past, gone, kaput -- *I'm* not gettin' led along!" But after some moments more of listening he suddenly stared wildly around and (catching sight of an old Allman Brothers LP's album-cover art) exclaimed, "Jesus -- look at all them damn peaches!!!"-- and I'll be darned if he didn't suddenly disappear from somewhere and appear inside of nowhere!
      Of course, he'd previously been bingeing on "Binaural-DMT-Frequency Pineal Gland Activation" vids on CZcams, so I can sorta understand where he was comin' from.
      Cheers.

I hope i have the strength to see the film but feel a little hesitant. Fear it will send my brain into a dark place, not the reverse. CZcams comments in a time of pandemic.

John and Yoko were early purveyors of the midnight movie scene, of which El Topo was one such film that gained a cult status by the early morning screenings. In my opinion, El Topo might be a more difficult watch than The Holy Mountain.

    I first heard about this song from someone I've loved like no one else. Years after and with a lot of pain involved, I still can't run away from this song. It doesn't matter when or where I stumble across it, it brings me to the very same place of not knowing what the future might bring. Now I know that it brought a lot of pain. And even though quite a while has passed, I still feel every single bit of this song. Except now I truly know what a transient hunt love is.
    I don't think I'll ever be able to feel how I felt before. Or maybe I will never be able to stop feeling it, even if only inside my own little egg.

    Our toddler is a big Aldous fan. We listen to her music regularly during relaxing times.
    Sometimes after a 15 minute Baby Signs session, we’ll play her a music video as an outro. Put this on and she was in utter rapture until the blue mask part. Never seen her sign “all done” so rapidly or definitively.
    The thing is, the very next day, when we did Baby Signs, I put on one of her other favorite music videos, and she rejected it, then another, until I put this one on. She watched it until the “big hat on face” moment, then calmly signed “all done”. Turned the TV off and she was happy.

      I keep coming back to this video again and again, and every time I am delighted and oddly soothed.

    I've never seen so many soulful and original comments under anything. The song: no words

      Spellbinding song and especially visuals. Can do you one better for comments, though, check out any Cigarettes After Sex song. Would be a great double bill! Make it so!
