    Anybody else here feel a sense of immense happiness/euphoria and at the same time a sense of melancholy and longing for the past and something now gone from your life.... when you listen to The Magnetic Fields? This song does just that to me. It's so unique

      +BohemianAsh sometimes i feel bad about stephin merritt since almost all his songs are like that; but i don´t really know if that is good. the thing i know is that every time i don´t want to feel alone i listen to it

    The woman in the video looks like Lillian Gish, with the same silent-film acting expressiveness. Lovely.
    (I can't believe this video is 12 years old, seems like it came out yesterday. But it pushed me further to explore The Magnetic Fields, and what a rich musical treasure trove that is. Merritt is a genius.)

      it is called: to be a scrawny waif
      It is an acquired taste for few
      Many suffer by guys quitting after a while and running away with the voluptuous and fully assertive femmes. Jocks!

  • @rock5j
    @rock5j Před 11 lety +3

    It totally does have something to do with the song. I see it as two people 'put in the trash' or 'thrown out' by others and they meet each other. Like 'one mans trash is another mans treasure.'

    You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more
    Quick! Before I walk out that door
    Quick! Before it all ends in jeers
    What a waste of all those beers
    You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed
    Quick! Because I'm through being attacked
    Are you really prepared to lose
    All this just to air your views?
    We're on the brink of something
    Get me a drink of something
    Quick! Between your outrageous remarks
    Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks
    Quick! Before you can't take that back
    Just before it all goes black
    You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes
    You're living in dangerous times
    Torture me for your amusement
    About who will pay the rent
    Who will pay the rent
    Who will pay the rent
    Who will pay the rent
    Who will pay the rent
    Who will pay the rent

  • @donluchitti
    @donluchitti Před 12 lety

    I think I figured this video out... They're in the garbage cans cuz they're, well, let's just say they're unique people who have a hard time finding others that understand them. The singer is basically threatening somebody with leaving. "Torture me for your amusement, Ah, But who will pay the rent?" threatening loneliness, "who else will love you?" So, anyways, it seems after all those wasted years, the cooky-eyed blond found a good-looking bobble head that intends well but isn't too bright.
