    I was the other day in the metro here in Chile and a girl had tattoed "Forever dolphing love" in her arm. I never thought someone else in this country could know about this song and have a tattoo of it. I need the same tattoo in my arm. This song moved me like no other in years.

  • @thelastofthebrohicans
    @thelastofthebrohicans 6 років тому +856

    Basically the main character lives in a cold and detached world with friends who are equally as withdrawn. He finds a woman, strange and alone...much like him. So he follows her…pursues her love..but she is hardened from the truth behind life…and it’s disguise. She is too different, and so is he. There is no changing that. But She’s accepted this….loneliness. Our protagonist understands the message, but is too afraid to be alone, like the dolphin woman. so he accepts instead; existing in a world he’ll never truly feel a part of.
    Or some shit Idk..

    I found it! My ex-boyfriend showed me this about a year or so ago and it was a magical moment indeed. We were laying out in the desert garden at night on blankets at the time. The breeze was perfumed and warm. And then I totally forgot that moment, this song etc. Well this morning I woke up with the melody in my head and fractured visions of the video but that was all. I couldn't put my fucking finger on it but then I remembered "dolphin" and added that to my "weird indie band from new Zealand video" and voila! Took me about an hour. Took me a few years. But I bought them all and wore one one day after another.

    • @jackmace6531

      I like the way you think. hearing a song and kinda half registering it, but being enough in the moment that you don't try to find what it is. then later you look it up. nice. and perfumed breeze. great way to describe a breeze. like a time when I went to Hawaii, that's the best way to describe the air when I landed, perfumed

    1. the notion of struggling to find your identity within the art world, finding your trace and niche . The idea of all the characters blending together - same person but the many different identities
    2. the art world has genuinely taken over their life so much that you can see it on them and around them - they have become their art

    A story about discovering love. At the beginning he is with his friends with his eyes closed. He is so caught up with them that he shuts himself off to many other possibilities. When he opens his eyes it has a dramatic effect on his group. He now views the world differently. This causes him to be open to the possibility of love. He becomes absolutely obsessed with his love interest (The dolphin). He detaches from his group to seek her out. He begins to chase after her. losing much time in the process. His approach is rejected. He returns back to his friend group a changed man. His eyes are open, and his friends are closed. He now has an unrelatable perception of the world. The dolphins eyes are open too though. This could mean that they not only had a similar world view, but mutual feelings. At the end I think the dolphin is only symbolically with them. The dolphin is the one that got away.

    The creepiest part of this video is that everyone is walking past them like they're normal people.
