Yes it was puppets. Its a form of table top puppetry. There were about four puppeteers for each puppet. We are putting together a little behind the scenes video so you can see how it was done. Thanks for watching!
I literally found this while during the preshow while waiting in the theatre and almost wasn’t able to get the lyrics down in time. I almost lost this song forever and I would’ve been very sad.
This is, in my opinion, the best damned video I've seen in YEARS! I'm not even remotely overstating. It perfectly fits the tone of the song. I see a definite Oingo Boingo influence, at least visually. Truly fantastic!
My sister showed me this music video when I was little, and it's so nostalgic to see it again! I remember I used to think the video was so cool and creative. It still is.
I didn't know Islands had new stuff! This is a great sound! Please use the piano more often. And I am very impressed with the puppetry here. Whoever thought this concept up, and whoever designed, built and operated those hilarious skeletons: Good freaking job!
Oh wow, this song and video are fantastic! :D I was lucky enough to catch the end of it while flipping through the Music Choicer channels and man, I'm hooked now~ Going to share it. (:
Please have the making of video soon! I have seen this video probably close to 50 times now meticulously observing how the puppets move. The song is awesome as well, that's what brought me here, but the puppets are when kept me! I'm on the edge of my metaphorical seat waiting for more on these amazing puppets and their manipulators.
Please keep us up to date with that behind the scenes video. I absolutely love the song and lust at the design of this video. The puppets are perfectly executed! Love it!
Heard it once on an online stream. Instant fell in love with that song, it's normally not my style (folk metal) but i have to say that it's really awesome and kinda gives me some energy and relaxes me at the same time :)

Nice video, a lot of work behind it ! If you like Indie music and underground artist, I suggest you to discover a new artist by writing *"Niko Laetailleurs"* in the you tube search bar. Not very famous but one of my favorite...
Kino. I keep coming back to this one over the years. I think it's a core memory now....
The clapping skeleton is fucking adorable

Where is that vid?
Coolest music video I've watched in years.
I just spent 45 minutes trying to find this video again. And it was worth it.
I literally found this while during the preshow while waiting in the theatre and almost wasn’t able to get the lyrics down in time. I almost lost this song forever and I would’ve been very sad.
Highly underrated band.
This Song is absolutely amazing and is only brought to an even higher level of incredible by how amazing the video goes with it.
Nick Thornburn is my favorite musical genius of the last 10 years. Mmmm sure is ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is, in my opinion, the best damned video I've seen in YEARS! I'm not even remotely overstating. It perfectly fits the tone of the song.

2024 and still here 🙌🏼🇵🇹
Yes mate
This song just makes me want to dance, it's so good. It was even better live
My sister showed me this music video when I was little, and it's so nostalgic to see it again! I remember I used to think the video was so cool and creative. It still is.
Those skeletons are too cute! > o
Favorite Islands song by far.
I didn't know Islands had new stuff! This is a great sound! Please use the piano more often. And I am very impressed with the puppetry here. Whoever thought this concept up, and whoever designed, built and operated those hilarious skeletons: Good freaking job!
It sounds like the skellie on the keys is playing the song right, but it doesn't *look* like he is. Confusing.
what a wonderful song!
Questionnable Content sent me here, this band is great :D
Congrats to Islands on landing this song with a US Microsoft commercial. Keep up the great music!
I must have listened to the song at least 200 times on Spotify before looking up this video. I just pooped my pants a little...with love!
This song was so fun to see performed live. Love Islands!
This music video/ song is sheer genius
Memories...😭😭😭
I Watched This When I Was 3 And Then The Next Day I Was Scared,When I Was In Kindergarten I Always Was Saying ITS HALLWAYS,Still A Great Video
This song makes the day less drab at work. I love that hook!
Absolutely amazing!! 😄
Underrated.
Nostalgic music of my childhood when I had 6 or 7 years now i have 14 but i love this song (now 2024 I have 17)
Loved the video with that song, made me smile, thank you.
Oh wow, this song and video are fantastic! :D I was lucky enough to catch the end of it while flipping through the Music Choicer channels and man, I'm hooked now~ Going to share it. (:
I don't think those skellies are the actual musicians on the record.
Again! Again! Again!
My Dad And I Where lising To The song. I Used To call This the Skeleton Song ,When I Was 6. This Brings Back SO Many Moires! ( ;

The one skellie who took the singer off-stage laughs for a moment when the singer returns as a bloody skellie.
WOW! Amazing

Viciante...
I repost this one every Halloween now. It's a tradition!
AWESOME
I remember this music video scaring my sister when we were little so I decided to show her it her again
is it weird that I visualize stuff like this after mushroom tripping and love it?
Me encanta !! Es súper guay
Toooooo Toooooo COOL!
such a seductive melody.
My GAY LOVER introduced me to this song and I can't stop listening to it.
Little known fact: skellies are COMPLETELY UNABLE to climb on pianos. In real life.
I wish their other stuff sounded like this :(
????? their other stuff is literally all amazing..
lmaooo i love this song and the video is awesome!!!

Wait to get to your room
Hallways
Always waiting
Feels like i've been waiting for days
In these hallways
Wait (x9)
Walls cave
Turns refuse to waste
Hallways
Knock, knock, knock
Broken lock
I'll just wait in hallway
Decent smoke wait, ooh
This can be a pleasurable phrase
Walls cave
Turns refuse to waste
Hallways
Walls cave
Turns refuse to waste
Hallways
In the hallways
Can she turns to you to say
Always?
Corredores
Espere para chegar ao seu quarto
Corredores
Sempre à espera
Parece que eu estive esperando por dias
Nestes corredores
Espere (x9)
As paredes da caverna
Se recusam a perder
Corredores
Toc, toc, toc
Cadeado quebrado
Eu vou esperar no corredor
Um fumo decente na espera, ooh
Esta pode ser uma frase agradável
As paredes da caverna
Se recusam a perder
Corredores
As paredes da caverna
Se recusam a perder
Corredores
Nos corredores
Será que ela se vira para você para dizer
"Sempre"?
yeah dudes!
ame este tema
The Unicorns live!!!!
Why is this band not popular¿
Because then they wouldn't be unique
Their back catalogue is too confusing for the public.
Such a fun video :-)

@benmorse If you watch the making of for Jim Henson's Labyrinth (it's on youtube as well, part 2) you can see it there, they did it for the weird fire-monster-dance which was awesome.
I'm sure that another song is inspired by the piano part in the end of the song. I can't find the song back. Any clue?
I love this. Is it models? CG? How was it shot? I'd love to see a making of.
Nicky, kewl skinny trousers
awesome video and song!
Nice video, a lot of work behind it ! If you like Indie music and underground artist, I suggest you to discover a new artist by writing *"Niko Laetailleurs"* in the you tube search bar. Not very famous but one of my favorite...
Brutal
Bueno !!!
While one door closes...
Wait wait wait...

Someday this darkness has got to give!
Wait wait wait.... is that adore opening?
