Wonderful video for a wonderful song. I'm going to have to get this album on vinyl. Looking at the comments it really amazes me how closed minded some people can be about music. "Oh it's not polished verse chorus verse mainstream pop-rock with a fashionable haircut, how can I ever enjoy it?"
I was disturbed to the point of stopping the video more than once in the beginning, but decided to see it through to see in totality what FatCatRecords had to say and I was delightfully surprised to see the change from blood and destruction to new life and regeneration.
I am astounded by the variety of original approaches to everything concerning animation, stop motion, music etc. It's a wonderful kick in the brain and frees me from old approaches and confining oneself! Thanks-wonderful!

Lol I'm 15 too and i appreciate it =D It's different and pure art.. *That makes us the only two 15-year olds that appreciate other music that's not on the radio.. ^^
That video was incredible. Need to watch it again and then some more to fully appreciate what exactly was going on. Loved the song, Mum have a new fan. /me goes off to watch other Mum offerings :)
These types of videos are often featured because they push the boundaries of conventional thinking and propel the world into the future. Those who cannot cope with change can imagine that they remain in the past.
Whoa, that was awesome. I loved it! The creepiness showed how amazingly unique it was, and the animation style is already as unique as you can get! I loved how the image would at first look normal, and then the kid would start puking leaves or bleeding from the mouth. Pure genious right there. I laughed when the cat's head was stitched back on, omglol. 6 stars all the way, man.
Art is supposed to be something that grabs you, and I believe the artist usually wants it to be UNFORGETTABLE.. Mission accomplished! FIVE starrrrss!! Rock Onn! ♫ ToM! ♫
I really like your video. I enjoyed the creativity and imagination. I loved the squirrel with the fangs and the goose feeding the boy the flowers. I keep going but I won't. The flow of action in this vid is positively fantastic.
Múm is an excellent icelandic band. They've been out there for some years (even Bjork promoted them in her video for the song "Army Of Me" when the bomb explodes and you can see the letters that are left from the word MUseuM)Good video
Wow, psychedelic. I liked the woman who shoots some sort of a beam from her eyes since it looks like she grew from a little girl to a grown woman in her wedding dress. Also the person getting colored by eating flowers was nice. I loved the music too.
People are really slow if they think this is emo. It's visuals, it's artistic. It's not a drawing of a boy with black hair slitting his wrists over and over again (well, that's a stereotype anyway.) I think it's abstract, fun to watch, disturbing, and imaginative. You get the idea. I really like this video.
Ooh, don't pull it's legs! They're pulled! Don't squeeze it too hard up, don't mash it up Ooh, don't pull it's legs! They're pulled! Don't squeeze it too hard up, don't crush it up If you snap it like a twig, glue it back with little sticks Put it back into the grass again If you break a kitten's neck, you must shake it's body and check If it's still alive be gone to sleep If you snap it like a twig, glue it back with little sticks Put it back into the grass again
What many of the casual You Tube observers of a video like this don't realize is; this video was not made for you. This is 'art' not a 'commercial' product like Britney Spears. I think this song is awesome! As far as the video goes, if everybody likes it - then it's not art.
I think this is really really amazing! I LOVE IT!!! Don't listen to what those other people write...they are just jealous that they aren't as talented as you are...seriously! :)
This song is so much fun! Really hypnotic, and the images that go with it just add to the surreal feel of it all. Pure artistic expression, not giving a damn what anyone else thinks about it.
that was preety deep and real, even though it may freak out , it's very real too... painful to watch the smiles taken away from so many and really the pleasure to see there is still beuty, there is still hope...
not bad, i remember in high-school in media class i wanted to make a video like this but it was way way too much work, kudos for you, and the song was rather pleasant.
Some people insist that art needs to be real easy to swallow. They want art to explain itself in simple, concrete terms instead of requiring any thought on their part. Also, they think if art isn't 'pretty', then it must not be good. I never listen to those people.
Beutiful! Masterpiece i would say! Sometimes i felt a little, just a LITTLE, lack of creativity, kinda felt you could do that better and thats the only thing i can complain about, elseways Wonderful work!

true
omg i love your videos :)
That's what the bears for..
14 years ago :3 i was 10!!
@@Gherkinspiel 14 years ago I was still an old bastard
I get people being freaked out, but I happened on this music video when I was a kid, and I LOVED it. It's one of my favorite music videos to this day.
Brings me back to when I first started smoking weed lol
To this day, I still think múm is one of the most creative bands out there. This is my favorite song by them. (:
+Pixel Doll oh girl you havent listen to animal collective, obviously
Vanessa Parra Song recommendation? I'm into weird shit LOL. :)
+Pixel Doll if you're going to listen to Animal Collective, try the song Safer. It's some weird shit.
Elijah Lucas Noted, thank you. ^^
I was disturbed to the point of stopping the video more than once in the beginning, but decided to see it through to see in totality what FatCatRecords had to say and I was delightfully surprised to see the change from blood and destruction to new life and regeneration.
I remember when this album was new. I was so excited... can't believe 13 years have passed already. Oh time...
I don't know how my poetry teacher recommended this to our class, but I was not disappointed
i love this. it makes me want to hold hands with strangers in the dark, and eat sandwiches cut into triangles and swim at the beach when it's raining.
I like the boy eating flowers and taking colour.
Love it!
Im shocked a Múm song got featured :) This makes me happy they are one of my favorite bands, Along with Sigúr ros.
What a huge amount of work and planning. Very weird, surreal and quite opaque! What youtube was invented to share. Thanks.
The video and lyrics really contrast with the silly sounds of the song, and that just makes it better!
deffinently one of my favorite music videos. i love múm. you will never hear or see somthing like this anywhere else. pure art.
i love this video sooo much. C: C:
its like a clean urban type feeling
that i cant describe well.
wow.
its so amazing.
I like it how Múm makes their music videos. Everybody should listen to "asleep on a train" and "asleep on a train".
Awesome song, awesome album, awesome video, awesome band
I am astounded by the variety of original
approaches to everything concerning animation,
stop motion, music etc. It's a wonderful kick
in the brain and frees me from old approaches
and confining oneself! Thanks-wonderful!

Or Polish :D "z różnych dobranych materiałów, na przykład drzew" :D
Wow that was amazeing!!!!! I can never find demented stuff that is not that delicately demented! thanx!
One of greatest old school videos ever made!
Lol I'm 15 too and i appreciate it =D It's different and pure art.. *That makes us the only two 15-year olds that appreciate other music that's not on the radio.. ^^
Music is beautiful, video is creepy as fuck
This is EXACTLY, how my thought processes and dreams are.
You, my good friend, are brilliant.
Why are the dislikes growing on this? What's wrong with people?
I bet they thought they were watching mumford and sons
That video was incredible. Need to watch it again and then some more to fully appreciate what exactly was going on. Loved the song, Mum have a new fan.
/me goes off to watch other Mum offerings :)
Me me mememe meme me!

What’s the code for this one?
Cool :) - I especially liked the cat getting it's head stitched back on, great work.
this is one of the most creepiest videos whos whith me ¿¿?? (got a brain)
Shotzv ig were the only normal ones
Whoa, that was awesome. I loved it! The creepiness showed how amazingly unique it was, and the animation style is already as unique as you can get!

Bad childhood much?
Art is supposed to be something that grabs you, and I believe the artist usually wants it to be UNFORGETTABLE..
Mission accomplished!
FIVE starrrrss!!
Rock Onn!
♫ ToM! ♫
Wow. Saw this video around the time it came out. Still can't believe it doesn't have one million views yet.
That kid takes flowers from geese like no other...I'm impressed.
I found that very beautiful... reminds me a bit of the morbid/innocence crossings of Ed Gorey. Very nice- please keep at it!
eat your hearts out, brothers quay!
awesome stop-motion with paper animation..
love it!
I really like your video. I enjoyed the creativity and imagination. I loved the squirrel with the fangs and the goose feeding the boy the flowers. I keep going but I won't. The flow of action in this vid is positively fantastic.
This is one of the most original pieces of animation I have ever seen.
awsome, some videos just stand out, and this one definitely stands out! i really liked it and the music was very interesting!
i love this. excellent frame-by-frame animation. it made a strange counterpoint to the music.
I love this one. Very well done and so funny. Thanks for sharing.
wicked video, so cool to watch...
love múm's work!
some was rather inspirational while the other was disturbing but it's kinda like life
Múm is an excellent icelandic band. They've been out there for some years (even Bjork promoted them in her video for the song "Army Of Me" when the bomb explodes and you can see the letters that are left from the word MUseuM)Good video
this video is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.
cool, I'm from Iceland.. always great seeing Icelandic videos getting front page.
Wow, psychedelic. I liked the woman who shoots some sort of a beam from her eyes since it looks like she grew from a little girl to a grown woman in her wedding dress. Also the person getting colored by eating flowers was nice. I loved the music too.
one more reason why Múm is my favorite band. i can't wait to hear the new album.
People are really slow if they think this is emo. It's visuals, it's artistic. It's not a drawing of a boy with black hair slitting his wrists over and over again (well, that's a stereotype anyway.)
I think it's abstract, fun to watch, disturbing, and imaginative. You get the idea. I really like this video.
I can watch this a million times and again! It is awesome and entertains me too the extreme! I am jealous I am not that creative...
Ooh, don't pull it's legs! They're pulled!
Don't squeeze it too hard up, don't mash it up
Ooh, don't pull it's legs! They're pulled!
Don't squeeze it too hard up, don't crush it up
If you snap it like a twig, glue it back with little sticks
Put it back into the grass again
If you break a kitten's neck, you must shake it's body and check
If it's still alive be gone to sleep
If you snap it like a twig, glue it back with little sticks
Put it back into the grass again
People really didnt take anything from this song other than it somehow being creepy and silly. It only struck me as sad. Humans are so destructive.
very nice. creative and unique...i love mum's music. now i love their videos.
What many of the casual You Tube observers of a video like this don't realize is; this video was not made for you. This is 'art' not a 'commercial' product like Britney Spears.
I think this song is awesome! As far as the video goes, if everybody likes it - then it's not art.
I think this is really really amazing! I LOVE IT!!! Don't listen to what those other people write...they are just jealous that they aren't as talented as you are...seriously! :)
I love Mum its a great Band, Never thought I see one of their videos on the front page though.
Great video!
Touching and magnificient execution!!
Thank you! :)
elli
lol the cat is so shocked it's like 'WOT!! my hed.. sowd bac on?'
Mum and Animal Collective featured in a week. Awesome.
Great... I could listen to this song a lot of times... just begun.
This song is so much fun! Really hypnotic, and the images that go with it just add to the surreal feel of it all. Pure artistic expression, not giving a damn what anyone else thinks about it.
Great work, loved the teeth falling out;)
that was preety deep and real, even though it may freak out , it's very real too... painful to watch the smiles taken away from so many and really the pleasure to see there is still beuty, there is still hope...
Never heard of them, where have I been?!?!!? GREAT
That was pretty cool. Unique piece. I might have to watch that again...
I love Mum and am so excited for their new album!!
not bad, i remember in high-school in media class i wanted to make a video like this but it was way way too much work, kudos for you, and the song was rather pleasant.
i cant stress enough how awesome this is, great job!
really kool, congrats 4 u, the most incredibles 4 minutes and 19 seconds on my day... thx
OMG these drawings are just fabulous!!!!
Great stuff and beautiful exploration of the dualism of human nature.
At times this reminds me of some of the animations in Frank Zappa movies.
This is the best title EVER!
Mum is an Icelandic band. Mum kicks ass. So does this video.
I quite like its creepiness. Well done. Reminds me of something I might create, as I like do do draw-rings.
It's now my all time favorite and it gets 5 stars of course!
Thanks mum!
i love these guys.. they make me stop whatever i am doing.
That is so awesome,dude
I'm speechless....
That was sooooo awesome!!!
New art and music forms! Cheers!
This is one of the few music videos I have truly enjoyed and it is nice to see animation that isn't frigging 100% uninspired lazy CG crap.
this could be the best video ever!
Great song and incredible video!
That last bit reminded me of Monty Pythons animations by Terry Guilliam.
Well done. Awesome animation!!!
And featured aswell, you lucky b....
That's amazing, you are very talented...
И вот спустя лет 12 я вспомнил про это великолепие.
kria's friendship with avey tare is starting to show. I'm pretty pleased.
Thats the kind of music to stop my brain thinking, im focused to all sounds in the music.
wow...
that's amazing...
nice work!!

I never listen to those people.
I liked it, AND I cannot wait to see them.
well done. that was beautiful.
Talent runs in the family it seems.
Amazing video.
very interesting video...the animation is wonderful!
that was nice.
Beutiful! Masterpiece i would say! Sometimes i felt a little, just a LITTLE, lack of creativity, kinda felt you could do that better and thats the only thing i can complain about, elseways Wonderful work!
The music is awesome. loved it... quite catchy!
My God!! this video is hiding something beside all that child pictures...
SO FUKCING SUBLIMINAL!!
