  • Before we got signed to Capitol Records, we made this. We found amazing video footage of dance and war over the past 100 years and juxtaposed them chronologically.

    Unequivocally one of the greatest music videos ever made. The contrast between the happy beautiful and absurd dancers and the raw terror of what we do to each other during the violence of war is such a simple profound message. We can dance lovingly one day and drop napalm on villagers the next.

      Yet, it’s only just a minor spec in the much broader timeline of how long human beings have existed on this planet.
      Even comparing to how long human beings have existed, it’s nothing compared to how long other living organisms have lasted let alone the billions and billions of years Earth itself has existed. From an astronomical relativity perspective, human beings have evolved rapidly within just a short period of time on the vast cosmic timeline.

      The contrasting scenes from every decade since WWI are really powerful.
      And the truth that we are NOT in fact "safe & sound" at all and have not been so for a very long time, yet still manage to live, love, and dance just fine.
      Or a more cynical view; our peace is bought with blood.

    I think this video presents both sides of "humans". While one side is the accomplishment of joyous emotion, the other is dark misery and fear, This video shows that humans are capable of both, and that we can choose which one to accomplish.

      Hydrogen wasn't the sole cause of the Hindenburg disaster (there was many other factors). Hydrogen was chosen because at the time helium was mostly stockpiled by the US and its allies. Remember this was in the times of Nazi Germany. Hydrogen was cheaper and provided as much if not more lift than helium did.

    I could lift you up
    I could show you what you want to see
    And take you where you want to be
    You could be my luck
    Even if the sky is falling down
    I know that we'll be safe and sound
    We're safe and sound
    I could fill your cup
    You know my river won't evaporate
    This world we still appreciate
    You could be my luck
    Even in a hurricane of frowns
    I know that we'll be safe and sound (safe and sound)
    We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
    We're safe and sound (Hold your ground)
    We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
    I could show you love
    In a tidal wave of mystery
    You'll still be standing next to me
    You could be my luck
    Even if we're six feet underground
    I know that we'll be safe and sound
    We're safe and sound
    I could lift you up
    I could show you what you want to see
    And take you where you want to be
    You could be my luck
    Even if the sky is falling down
    I know that we'll be safe and sound
    I could lift you up
    I could show you what you want to see
    And take you where you want to be
    You could be my luck
    Even if the sky is falling down
    I know that we'll be safe and sound
    We're safe and sound
    We're safe and sound
    We're safe and sound
    We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
    We're safe and sound (safe and sound)
    We're safe and sound (Hold your ground)
    We're safe and sound (safe and sound) We're safe and sound

    • @WeAreN1nja
      @WeAreN1nja Před 10 lety +9

      That's one way to interpret it. The way I see it, though, is a representation of the duality of human nature. The contrast between the verve, the life, the vitality and the beauty that we're capable of vs the death, destruction and sheer violence that we're infamous for... :(

    • @dwight750
      @dwight750 Před 10 lety +2

      I like that interpretation as well. The lyrics coupled with this video just pushes me toward mine. Just seems like America personified and its promising all these things, most importantly safety, if we support it, therein being "[it's] luck". This despite "the sky falling down", a "hurricane of rounds", a "title wave of mystery", and being "six feet underground", It continues to promise "we'll be safe and sound". Just a skeptic point of view though.
