Directed by Joshua Aylett
Pry the darkness from my eyes.
Divided, let the light seep in.
Trees devoid of branches, and hollow hives,
Endless black and empty beds.
It's not the same, something's changed.
I never used to be able to see past the trees.
A thousand unfamiliars are lying thick on the air and I can't breathe.
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
This doesn't look like home.
Is our skin to keep the world out or our bodies in?
I'll tear apart the town then sleep, and sleep alone.
If I'm a flame, I'm a forest fire speaking savage tongues as I emerge from the hills.
I am an avalanche. I am unchained. I'm awoken. I'll unleash hell.
So I roar, pin back my ears, and stone by stone I'll tear it all apart.
I've lost faith, the forest's changed.
My stomach's empty I'm feeling faint.
I've lost heart, the forest's scarred.
I hear no birds, just tv's and cars.
I've lost sight, the forest's died.
The brambles are bare, and I'm hollow inside.
Each breath rattles like dice in my chest,
Each breath gambled, unwinding til death.
I seriously loved this video. The song, to me at least, is about feeling disconnected and completely disheartened with the way your life is going. About not seeing home in the place you're supposed to call home and an overwhelming despair that it won't get better. And honestly, who's to say someone outside of the norm depicted in videos (young persons) wouldn't feel that? I'm not a middle-aged mother but I can easily believe that doing the whole 9-5 to feed your kids and doing chores and paying bills and no longer LIVING would take it's toll. To the point where you want to scream and let the world collapse around you, if only for a moment. So I think this video did a beautiful job of expressing that frustration and sense of helplessness :)
Amen.
What she said!
At least someone else gets it.
Getting to that point requires you to make choices. If you aren't strong enough to stand by the choices you make than you really dont have a right to stand and shout about it. "I had a kid and responsibilities, WAHHHHAHA to a rock beat"
Awaiting the flame wall.
underclocked I don't know, I think it's just part of the human condition to feel trapped sometimes. That's why this song is so great, because so many of us can connect to that feeling. And I don't think that somebody's emotions in regards to helplessness and being overwhelmed by it all should be dismissed for any reason, be it their age, race, gender, sexual orientation or choices.
Love how the kid walks away like, "Dammit Mom. Not again."
***** this comment is life
yessss, like "goddammit mom, not this shit again. fml" 😂
+Krista Frazier In my perspective of that scene, it seems like the kids are needing their mom but she is choosing not to pay attention to them. I actually expected the kids to be the dancers behind the glass door but they didn't show themselves afterwards. But then again the dancers could be what the mom imagines herself looking like when she is dancing xD
Best comment of all omfg 😂😂😂❤
A lot of the comments seem to be getting mad because there's a middle-aged woman in it like wow can we not forget that a lot of us like this kind of music because it makes us feel wonderful and amazing and connected and understood and not exclude people from that? Thank you.
neonfiona people will always judge regardless. Thats society unfortunately
Right on! When I heard her I thought she sounded good singing, way better than many people in my opinion ^-^
Preach.
Preach less.
Andrew Logan No. You!
"Where do you see yourself in 15 years"
more like where are you right now...
WolfTrail2 SAME 😂😂😂😂😂
You’re a third of the way there bro
7 more years 😂
A lot of kids are bitching about the video, then again they are kids. This video is actually meant to appeal to an older crowd. It's about basically looking back on your life and wanting so much more. 14 year old kids wouldn't understand it because they still have life ahead of them and so much more to see and dream about. She's looking back on her life and realizing there was so much more she could've done, but instead she became a stay-at-home mom. Sure she doesn't regret having her kids, or possibly marrying her husband, but she wishes she had accomplished more. Who knows, this may be in the future and she could have been a fan of HLH when she was younger and in our present, holding on to a band and a song that made her feel young and alive, and remembering what it was like to be young and be able to dream for so much more.
Thank you for explaining this, I thought it was just a crazy lady playing with bubbles. I was really confused but now I agree with them^ I understand it too. It's interesting :D
Finally someone who understands! I'm fourteen, but thank you for explaining that. It's pathetic how people are laughing at this video, in my point of view. This is absolutely beautiful.
Nothing against you, you're right, but some kids have seen some things that they shouldn't have to at such a young age, so therefore they feel broken and hopeless already. I have. I had a rough childhood, it isn't much better now, and I continue to fight through it everyday. This comment wasn't made to make anyone pity me. All I'm saying is pain comes in many ages. And many children look to this song to make the best out of their situation. By the way; I'm fourteen.
Honestly I expected the video to follow the bear displaced by a new neighborhood metaphor so this video just didn't hit the same way the song does as I listen to it. The song is definitely about anxiety and while I know songs aren't literal, it definitely paints the picture of an animal in the forest and was later on confirmed in a break down that it is indeed a metaphor used to describe anxiety through the eyes of a bear displaced by a new neighborhood built at the edge of his forest. I'm just kinda disappointed in the video more than anything. Though I am not the children you directed your viable synopsis at, I just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in.
I think she wanted to become a dancer. Hence the two young girls At the end
I used to be obsessed with this song but it got lost with my entire playlist once i changed my phone about five years ago.
I’ve been looking for this song for over a month now and the only lyrics I remembered of it were “this doesnt look like home” and despite my hard tries to remember I couldn’t..
My sister was searching for something a minute ago and went “it’s not the same, something changed” and I immediately remembered the entire lyrics of this song and now I’m very happy to have found it again🤍🤍🤍
Welcome back
Haha I had that happen to me twice
This was probably the most beautiful thing i have ever seen
That woman is the lead singers mom! The kids you see are his siblings. I thought this video was beautiful
This is so beautiful how they let the sound of her singing continue when the song kicks. Finally getting to see HLH live in South Africa in 2 days. Been waiting 4 years!
If she really is Trent's mom I say "you go girl!" Great way to celebrate your son's success:-)
haha no, no it isn't. she's a bloody legend though!
@@trentontoddwoodley7447 thanks for clearing that up lol. Still an awesome video and she definitely showed more confidence than I have 🙂
Maybe in your interpretation, but in reality, no
I love how they kept her voice going the whole time. this is very moving, I think all of come to a point in our lives sometimes where we just need to let everything go. Love this song and the video fit it perfectly
Every time I hear this song I cry because is relatable... it's one of those songs that you have to sit, listen and think about.
same
Its the type of song that puts your entire life's situational struggles and unkempt feelings in the forefront without even conciously thinking of them. Some songs are obviously relateable, but songs like this make you ponder on your life and put your issues into perspective through a powerful expression of words melodies and purely music. I love Hands Like Houses.
Yeah .. me too..
This lady has serious cojones singing this song - I'm too chicken shit to even attempt some Trenton vocals when I'm in the shower. Major props
Before anyone gets even more mad or annoyed with this, just remember that we do this in our bedrooms so
This comment though lol i love it!
Dustin Robinson haha thanks! Can't deny that it's true
Lol yes!
At first i was so confused but after a second watch i really see the symbolism in this. Such an incredible video.
Why is that tiny ass washing machine full of so much soap
When my highschool essay asked "where do you see yourself in *some large-ish amount of years*?" .
I should have put a link to this video.
Seriously you haven't thrashed around your room letting out your anger by screaming your favorite song? That's what I get out of this video and I find it relatable
Ooo, surprising video. Very nice. Love the tone. It's a shame a lot of people either don't get it or can't appreciate it though, when it's more than just a woman flailing about in foam. I guess that's a given when you make a music video like this. By the way, the kids trying to get in is a genius touch.
change your picture now... anyone but Fuko D:
I used to listen to this song back to back daily when I was in high school.. I could cry right now 🥺
Unimagine will forever be one of my favorite albums ever
This is amazing. The video, the track it's all perfect. This woman embodies the song with every part of of her body, the helplessness and rage in her voice piercing throught the singers lyrics is chilling, soul crushing. We dont often see such great video in this style of music sadly.
Am I literally the only one who balls their eyes out to this song? I swear I could be in the greatest mood and hear this song and cry.
You're not alone... it's my favorite song ever but it's hard to listen to without getting emotional.
Your not I was watching this and it just hit me hard balling my eyes and singing with her
7 years later, I still shed tears, It's a beautiful song and video
Happens to me too..
Make fun of the woman all you want, but you know damn well that you wanted to do this with a song you loved at one point of your life.
... Just watch your laundry though XD
U Have No Ideaaaa 😂😂😂!!!!
Lol! 😂
Old post but I don’t even care! That’s me seriously every time I hear this song lol. People at work be giving me the craziest looks lol
Loved being apart of this video!!!!
Billie Casey-Jabore which one are you?
I'm blown away that they got this woman to perform this song in it's entirety and do it so well. Especially when it is not in popular fashion to shoot a post-hardcore video like this. Serious props to the performer and the director.
Anyone notice the girls in the back @3:48 They're wearing similar clothing to the main woman. Maybe some symbolism to a younger her?
This is fucking awesome on so many levels. f**** the haters.
Ill check it out after a bit
At first I was like meh, then her boys came and in that fluff shot out of that dryer and I just lost it xDD
Soo-pah High
Bubbles. Not fluff. Stupid me e-e
literally me when i listen to hands like houses
I Hope that everybody that posted the odd and negative comments when this was released is old and knowledgeable enough now to understand this beautiful ass art.
Still coming back to this after all this time. Legitimately one of the all-time greatest songs and videos I’ve ever experienced.
Ha, that woman though! Props! I do this constantly, everyday, all the time hah... Always get weird looks in the office but fuck it, my air-drum game is on point
This is the most well developed, creative, and meaningful music video I've ever seen. Well done, HLH. This is why they are one of my favorite bands.
I'm really crying here, I love this song ! so much ... I act like her when i'm alone and this song plays... it's like is only me in the universe and i need to show what i'm inside..
This is a great testament to the full meaning of this song and the depth of this band
anyone that doesn't understand the reason for the video doesn't understand this band.
Great video, Excellent song, Amazing band. Thanks guys
This honestly could be one of my favorite videos of all time.
I think the Video may be a reference to one one of the illustrators from the book that gave it it's name, 'Tales of outer suburbia'. There's one image of two men sitting on what looks sort of like a ledge, captioned, 'How great it must have been long ago, when the world was still unknown'. I assume the boys are like this woman, i think she's sick of being trapped in the same routine, life has lost its edge, and she longs to be young and free again. But that's just my interpretation of it. :)
I think this video is beautiful. To me it shows a woman unhappy with her mundane life letting completely go and just going crazy. She's so lost in her moment and so done with caring she doesn't give a shit about the washer exploding or her kids knocking on the door.
this video was amazing! The song is so much deeper than a simple live band performance video and both HLH and Rise knew it, love it!
they did a great job with this. great song choice also for a video like this
This song will be played at my funereal and that same washing machine will be there spewing foam like no other.....
Wtf
yes. i'm stealing your idea.
When the fam goes to warped
Anthony San Martin that is his family. His mom and siblings
I love how they kept her voice in it too. Really captures her love for the song. I dont the same thing every time i do laundry.
I've seen this video when it cameout, but I never appreciated the stay at mom that committed the song to her memory. I love that I can hear her throughout the entire song with nothing.
This was one of my favourite songs from Hands Like Houses, I'm so glad that they made a music video for it. Now I can love watching it was well as listening to it.
What a perfect way to portray this song.
I can't deny, I'm confused about this video. But I think about this like something metaphoric, and I like how HLH's trying to make something different with their amazing lyrics. Love this song.
"This is a song about anxiety, built on the metaphor of a bear displaced by a town being built on the edge of his forest. It's the one song on the album that doesn't “resolve,” which for me is a representation of anxiety itself. It's an overwhelming feeling of helplessness that channels through nervousness, desperation, anger and numbness all at once, and usually very suddenly. I don't want to glorify a negative influence, and it's my hope that by writing this, I and others can actually better handle it through
understanding."
The video captures the song perfectly. She's finding a release from her anxiety.
This is how the lady goes hard in the pit
once i realize the point to this video i wanted to cry.
I actually found this hilarious. I enjoyed the fact that HLH isn't taking things super seriously.
My opinion regarding her vocals obscuring the lead singer: I love their music, and I rarely watch music videos for the audio quality. The video provided me with a solid bit of entertainment.
This music video literally makes me cry. Its so touching and beautiful. Someday you will be her... remembering being young and moshing at a concert and wondering why you ever grew up or got old... so fucking beautiful, seriously.
This is pure gold
I do not see why people are so uptight about this video being portrayed by an overweight, middle-aged woman. Would you all really prefer an eighteen-year-old model without a care in the world? Your average woman is like this; for lack of a better word -- flawed -- stressed, and in need of an outlet. A young, care-free woman does not represent the point being made.
This is probably the best thing I've ever seen, when the kid was at the door at 1:52 and was all like 'mum plz'
Leave it to HLH to make an amazing, unexpected music video for an amazing, underrated song. The concept behind this is awesome, a little strange, but if you haven't felt the emotion in a song to mosh by yourself to music before, you're missing out. Thank you HLH for staying Unimagined.
New bucket list item. Sing to hands like houses while I swim in detergent bubbles
this is literally me when i'm doing anything in home xd
These band members are literal gods
I am seriously in love with this video and the song. In my opinion the Video and Song match perfectly and I also find the fact that not only treanton, but also the woman sings amazing and I like the idea behind it. I actually got goosebumps from the beginning and they wouldn't go away..
if that was my mom i would be dancing in the bubbles with her...
Second time I watched this, I cried
No you didn't, and if you did then go to a fucking therapist (Not Austin Carlile's twitter page).
Tyler Windover Its meaningful to her you ass. Maybe it struck a personal core with her, who knows. you don't. I'm not trying to sound like some sort of white knight, but theres no reason to be an outright jerk.
Tyler Windover
Despite your comment being absolutely unnecessary, the Austin Carlile part made me laugh so hard, haha
Whenever I meet someone into the same music as me I usually become friends with them and we talk about music and try to have jam sessions etc. But the online scene of music seems to be so mean. I'm not affected, but how can you be so rude to someone you haven't even met? You'd never do that in public...probably more of a coward in public so you are safe online to act like this: sad.
The girls dancing at the end is the women when she was younger. This song makes her feel young again and is used to escape from the daily grind of life. Great video.
The true beauty of art is that no two people will ever see the same thing in a work of art. I do agree, the video was kinda awkward, but you cannot be mad at them for trying something different. Better to have regrets about something you did, rather than having regrets about not doing it.
That moment you realize you have the house to yourself 😝
me in 30 years wow
This was such a good music video, if only because of how memorable it was. I have a very diverse taste in music (and a head injury) I tend to forget artists names or songs after a couple months, but even almost a decade later, I still randomly come back with a "what was that song with the lady and the washing machine? that was a good one."
My view on the video is that music can be used as an escape from your mundane life. This woman (portrayed as ordinary, in a de-saturated, plain home) just lets loose without regards and basically lets the music take her over. I think this video is amazing!
Brilliant. They keep doing things to set themselves apart from the rest, and it makes me love them more and more for it.
This band, just.. so much respect
How can you watch this and not be moved or feel it? This is art. Every bit of it.
Holy shit, this video is pure gold. It's so meaningful and the creativity surpasses anything I've seen from this genre. It's a song so many people can relate to, which is why they used a middle aged woman and honestly she fits the video perfect. I'm actually blown away, especially when the kids come in, symbolizing how much she wants to break free and let go of everything, but can't because of her children. If the video looks funny or stupid to you, watch it again in 10 years and see how much you can relate. She's just doing what most of us keep inside. Bravo HLH, I can't believe you're actually on Rise.
This speaks to me on an emotional level.
Wow. Such a... simple music video, but it evoked a lot of emotion in me. Hands Like Houses is fantastic.
IN MY OPINION: This song and music video are all about growing up, moving away and reminiscing about the past. I believe it's about the band and how much they have grown and how they are away from their homes and how much they have changed from the people they were before to the people they are now. I believe what the video is trying to convey is that we were all something, we all had our dreams, we all tried to be what we wanted to believe, but sometimes it doesn't turn out the way we want it to. It's a great song with a message so deep, it hurts my feels.
apparently you are all too fucking young to appreciate this unbelievably brilliant idea of a music video, for this song... watch it again in 10 years and you will get the chills....
i guess you guys have never heard of interpretive dance
as weird as it may seem, this video is very symbolic and powerful
This music video makes me want to play in a pile of soap bubbles xD
Same
This music video was amazing. It actually had meaning, not your usual crab-core in an abandoned warehouse.
If youve been a fan of Hands Like Houses for a while, you'd definitely get why they put out this video. It's here to captivate! Open your minds.
This is legitimately one of the weirdest music videos I've seen. Not really sure how I feel about it but I got the meaning of it.
Also, that must have been REAL fun to clean up afterwords. lol
Mom what are you doing?
This song is really moving. There's something that brings even more passion with her moshing and singing along. Nobody can make fun of her, because she is probably acting out what we want to but don't want to get seen doing. I think she's wonderful
Wow man. They really had me with most of their last album. This Ain't No Place For Animals was a real comfort to me when I first heard it. They didn't disappoint me with this one. It's kinda like they followed right along with me to where I'm at since the last one they put out. This is the best song I've heard in a long time. Very impressed.
Really silent washing machine
OMG! WOW! i fucking love this song and also the music video this is something creative and it makes all of us feeling happy and glad i cant express how happy i am please respect!!
I feel like everyone who is commenting on this music video saying it makes no sense needs to take another look at the lyrics. This is one of the most moving music videos I have ever seen, and the low quality of it adds to the point the song is trying to make. The song is titled "A Tale of Outer Suburbia," and the music video is portraying a middle-aged woman whom we can infer lives in a suburban area. Basically the main point the video, lyrics, and title is that this is a middle-aged, "normal," suburban mother, who is tired of living the way she always has and longs for something more. Once you understand that concept the two boys makes sense, and the young girls dressed similar to her make sense as well. I think this music video is a brilliant piece of art.
If you don't understand the meaning of the song you're sure as hell not going to understand the meaning of the music video. I just love how they had a woman who doesn't look like a super model and doesn't sing perfect either. Makes me respect the band that much more!
i wish my mom moshed to HLH in a room full of bubbles....
i fucking love hlh
i love you
Daughter1 : Isn't she beautiful?
Son: Shes just drunk, that's all.
Daughter2: People show their true feelings when they're drunk.
I see you, Hands Like Houses. Trying to crack into that lucrative 'soccer mom' demographic, haha!
sucks that some of you are too arrogant to see how powerful this video is .-.
This looks so weird on mute o h m y g o d
Rosie Crivaro Lmao 😂
I love how her sons are like, "Mom? Hello? She's doing that thing again, it's gonna be awhile, I'm gonna go find Dad" And they just walk off.
This video is my favorite music of all time. That first pumping to the drum/bass
It doesn't look like home because thERE ARE SOAP BUBBLES EVERYWHERE!!!
Shan Shivakumar That isn't normal? Well...
when mum tries to be kewl
but on a real note, i could die listening to this haha. the video is much more touching then could be expected. I love hands like houses. so beautiful
Respect for this lady, she learned the whole song for this video and she sings nice.
I've been listening to you guys since before ground dweller, when you started releasing singles in the states. I've always found your music to be insightful and have so many layers of meaning, it's phenomenal. This video is amazing, possibly the best I've seen try to convey your deeper message. Really thumbs up, top knotch.
P.s. i showed it to my mom (I'm 32, she's 66) and near the end, she broke down in tears. Don't let the haters tell you the message gets lost in translation, they are illiterate and blind. It only took my mom one take to get it.
P.p.s. You made my mom cry... assholes... (still love you)
I thought I had saw everything to life..I guess not..I CRIED x'D This is exactly what I do when I Jam out, minus the bubblesXD
3:10 FISTS FLIES OUT OF BUBBLES
+breanna solberg Sameeeee XD I Lose it when I jam, how it should be.
Right dudeeee!?I wish my washer blew out bubbles like that,reality is such a dissapointment..
Lmao Totally!!!! But I just have one of those lame non bubble blowing washers. haha!
ME, THOUGH. THAT IS ME.
I didn't get why almost everybody hates this video. It IS deep. I'm 16 y.o. girl and this is so perfect, I think. I underestand how she feels, don't know it, but underestand. I like she's not perfect and she doesn't sing like some pop-star. This is reality. I finally found someone dancing like this - not good at all. Just emotions. Wake up.
My favorite track from the album. Was hoping for a cool video of a bear wandering through a forest and discovering the construction of a new city being built in his home then destroying everything but this is cool too...
