Purity Ring is Megan James & Corin Roddick
Music videos are looking better than most movies nowadays.
agreed
yep!
true
Because they are 3 minutes long. Movies are 3 hours long. It's a lot cheaper and easier to make a 3 minute long scene than a 3 hour long one.
Gaus Jeus No it's not. Short films are harder as you have to create emotion within 30 seconds to keep peoples attention. Also, most films are 90 minutes to 2 hours. Not 3 hours.
So great to see this out after such a long time! It was an amazing experience filming this music video, (I'm the young nun at 3:57 !) Cast and crew were so friendly, I have nothing but love for these guys and this song, they earned themselves another fan :)
Is the music video about Rebirth? If so, could you go into more detail? Sorry, just curious! Lol
Unfortunately, we weren't told much about what the music video was about - but were given a few acting directions... Take them as you'd like I suppose - We were told to treat the older lady as if she was the leader of our nun troupe... but she was getting old and had to be replaced. Hence, that's where the younger version of the woman came in. It's an initiation process, having the younger girl kill the older one...
As far as I know, that's where the begin again thing comes in - the process is to be repeated again and again every time the girl gets old.
More information may have been given to the actors in the orchard, but I wasn't present on that day sadly.
+SimplyLibby Thanks so much for the information!
+SimplyLibby lucky
It was actually the 11th of July, 2015 - a fair amount of time actually for a complex music video such as this, you have no idea how eager I was waiting for this to appear xD
That synth on the chorus, is fuscking monumental!
So bloody good ay

If you've ever watched livid, an old vampire traps a young girl and forces her to eat an insect which symbolizes the soul of the old women, the old woman then takes over the body of the young girl and the young girl becomes the old woman, she then tries to kill her old body. Im assuming this is inspired by a similar ritual where eternal youth is achieved by constantly consuming the youth and 'disposing' of whats left. Sinister as fuck... but has a lot of deep symbolism behind it.
Creative as shit nonetheless, amazing work! THIS DIRECTOR NEEDS TO MAKE SOME INDIE HORRORS ALREADY!
hmm somehow the plot reminds me of skeleton key..
+Barbara Jeanne same thought lol
Its the birth of the fifth age. Its some Theosophy bullshit combined with Hindu Tantra, and Hermeticism and even Thelema. The only reason why I'm here is to warn people. This IS some sinister shit! Her voice is beautiful but the spiritual forces she invoked are pure fucking malignant evil.
+Mowgli ManCubs The Fifth Age is almost here. Itll start once Prince William becomes king!
+Mowgli ManCubs Yup. Let's all invoke evil spirits through the power of music. Seriously, i'm not making fun of you, i believe in spirits because of things i saw, and also personal opinions, idk if you're serious about all that malignant evil stuff and all that shit, but invoking evil spirits with just a music video.. The video is talking about a loop. Someone comes to life and is choosen to be the new body for a lady who's soon to die, a girl (appearently special because if there were no need for a special person to do the ritual they wouldn't bother themselves going around and digging out a fully grown woman), weirdly enough, the girl could have choosen to not eat whatever was in that crusty looking "fruit" (is it a fruit?) and to let the woman die, but as the lyrics says it begins again, so there were some kind of force of habit even though the girl had no idea about it since she was just born. Who knows how many times did that ritual happened before? To me it shows that humans live in a loop. It isn't evil, it shows how we will always act the same. We've been through the same things everytime, and it became a mecanism, it seems normal to us to do things like war and other kind of conflicts, racism, rebellion, cruelty, because we've always done these things. And even if we wanted to stop it all, we couldn't, because it'd still be somewhere in our memory, because when we learn about this world's past, we have war, conflicts, racism, and cruelty. We can only hope for a peaceful world, because our ancestors doomed us when they created such concepts without even knowing it. We evolved in some ways and started to treat people better through time, but we will never be perfectly respectful and peaceful with everyone because of that loop that we never get out of.
This video is made for us to imagine a signification to it. I'm not saying that mine is right, or that yours is wrong, but, a video shouldn't be judged because of what we've seen, it should be analyzed on the philosophical side of it (well when there's one because there isn't any deep thought in shitty music with shitty videos that are way too popular for what they are). That video could have been made with other elements of decoration and still could have told the same story but the aesthethical side of the video suited the music's melody, so i think it's a great choice. Creepy but mesmerizing.
i've listened to purity ring on spotify since 2016 and now realized they have music videos. this video was an amazing experience.
i personally have the perspective that this song is symbolic of motherhood. "you be the moon (moon usually represents mother in different cultural symbolism) , ill be the earth ( i believe this is reference to being a child of the earth after being born) And when we burst ( the young girl eventually growing up and becoming a mother) start over, oh darling, begin again. its the cycle, that can be painful and beautiful at the same time.
One of the best concept films/music videos ever made. The fantasy subject is done so realistically that you're engaged right away, trying to understand the setting and the story. The casting is also stunning - every person in the film, including Megan and Corin, fit their roles perfectly. The diggers and the nun at 1:05 are my favorites - such great faces....
The younger digger guy looks like the English prince from braveheart, I wonder if its the same actor.
The bass lines in the Purity Ring songs always gives me goosebumps...
cant get my friends to take her production seriously. Purity Ring is so damn good.
Show them! This is important!
Well, why not?
@@anselmod1 Not all Satanists are equal. At least not in the eyes of the Illuminists. Plus, all of this is way too sophisticated for the average consumer. I think the nuance is lost on the vast majority. After all, the Devil is in the details, and most people are too weak minded for all this old school lesser magic.
Sounds like terrible friends.
I have this song on my roller skate playlist, and listen to it almost daily. It’s such a beautiful song to practice flowy transitions to.
So jelly you have roller skates to dance to this eeeeee
👑💩
I love PR, they are so underrated, they need more views! This song and their album is AMAZING!
@@ynhasenteredthechat3376 Ibsaw them while working at the Staple Center. Been listening to them ever since 🤷🏿♀️
love the video but when I saw the fruit on the tree I instantly thought "ball sack"
Lol, same 😂
+Steven Campbell Yeah. Though I think it is supposed to strike as fleshy and gross and wrong. Which are my three preferred adjectives for ball sacks.
+Steven Campbell the forbidden fruit, eating it gives your immortality, or didn't ya'll pick up on that?
+Christopher Jones why is it your comments on this video seems to be all condescending
Yarra Yora because its the internet.. You going to cry over that?
The story this tells is so enchanting. The subtlety, thoughtfulness of shots and biblical hints and the costumes, all amazing. Truly a cultural and historic masterpiece, Purity Ring!!!
when the song ends I will just begin again
Bahahahaha!! 😂
I love their whole album. This video deserves more views.
totally true!
Nexiile hahaha yes!
Nexiile lol me too XD
Just saw them perform live last night in DC. Closed out with Begin Again. Absolutely amazing show…

Where are you now Purity Ring???? Miss you so much. Please begin again! 🙏😊
Being awesome I guess
They're backk
I remember the first time that I watched this in early 2016, when I was 15 years old, Thanks to New Indie Vevo playlist. Now I'm 20 and Another Eternity Defined my Adolescence
Absolutely based song, elements of rebirth grief, and loss all wrapped into excellent cinematography
Just came back to say this was my Roman empire (I was a middle schooler)
only recently getting into Purity Ring. They have great lyrics for so many of their songs.
This music video could be a movie!!! I loved it sooo much, and it felt as if all of it had a deep sense of meaning.
Jesus Martinez Chuy it is a movie, it's called "livid"
I love how this is a different mood, there are spiritual notes and troubled notes playing together at the same time. (What I mean there are notes that give you a hopeful feeling and at the same time there are sadder notes playing 😅)
Adding onto the theories about rebirth, I believe the young girl born from the dirt /is/ the old woman. But, not their souls being transferred as people suggest. They have the same appearance which makes me think they're are the same person, but the girl doesn't know what's happening the whole video suggesting she is her own person. The older woman knows the ways of their system, when people are reborn it's ritual to kill their old selves, those who already lived full lives, and thereby the old woman openly passed her life to the youth.
I like this interpretation
One of the few groups who's music who give me goosebumps. LOVE Purity Ring.
4:23 best part of the song ♥️👌
I think it's about passing things on to the next generation. Our children and Grand children are our reborn selves, hence all of the alluding that the two women are the same person. Everybody plays a role in the ritual of passing on what the old lady has to the young one, just as society and family play that role as well. As a child all of these things occur without us realizing it, so naturally that young girl is gonna be extremely confused and even scared looking out at the world.
The old lady is calm and collected because she realizes this is a part of life, but likely is just as about as confused as the young one is, just comfortable with it. Even with all the knowledge and spirit of the old lady, after she dies the child is still afraid and confused, yet is expected to head the group they are a part of which likely represents family. As a Matriarch dies another has to take over, people have to look for someone for comfort, but the reality is leaders never truly understand more then others, they are just as confused, but get less afraid of the unknown as time goes on. Ultimately it represents how each passing generation must deal with the fear of what they don't know, because even with the knowledge of a lifetime, there will still be things in the world you will never understand.
That is a very good way of looking at it. I was thinking that the video describes the process we must go through to kill the old versions of ourselves, and the new version has to "stomach" the heartaches and burdens of life. Once the younger woman consumed what was on her plate the older woman could finally let go and encourage the new version to go through with it. The women with the head garments are her emotions that are controlling her throughout the process. Your old self has to die to allow for a better version. The young girl was reluctant to do it, but in the end just like her we all do it. Like a snake shedding or a butterfly exploding into existence, and as humans we choose to get rid of the self we used to know and take on a new identity in order to understand and cope with the blissful burdens of self awareness.
Nope. It's the sinister one that everybody is talking about.
The spectrum of emotions this track evokes is soo diversified ! I love that they made a video that portrays what very few people were expecting and knocked it out of the ballpark!!
The wait was worth it! Simply amazing, I am at a loss for words
TALK ABOUT CINEMATOGRAPHY HOLY SHIT! Really feels like a Robert Eggers film
Interesting take on rebirth.
The whole "preserving youth" makes sense to me too. When they pull out the girl from the ground it looks like her hair is an umbilical cord.
YES
ARTV I love your vids!💖 cant believe I saw you here
It's clear this is supposed to be some kind of heart fruit. It kind of hails back to gothic and old fairy tale themes as well as ritual. The idea is that the fruit binds the old woman to the young woman and the blood of the sacrifice of the old lady's body allows the transfer. It's a play on the more morbid themes of immortality (which fits the tone of the song and notes perfectly).
The elderly woman symbolizes the personality she has, and the young girl symbolizes her future personality. Take it as changes. In the years as we humans go from being teenagers to adults, will there be something we're going to leave and kill as our memories changes, meanwhile some of our thoughts will still remain in our heads. The old heart symbolisez the little part of the past memories she has, witch is why, the young girl must eat it, before she kills her old self. She "begin again" with a new self.
starting off the new decade with this song
Can we please Begin Again this entire year, that'd be great
Came here from 25 bucks, I love her voice! It has such a perfect sound for what I'm looking for! AMAZING💯
Saint Vine yup Danny Brown put me up on Purity Ring. Bodyache was my first fav.
holy crappp i still remember first listening to this, anddddd I STILL LOVE IT!!! it's an interesting take on beginning again with how their system of "rebirth" or smthn works!!!! i love this!! PR is srsly awesome!
the absolute magic that is this visual+audio combination
love the song. wasn't expecting this for the video though. I was on a total opposite vibe. but! I saw this video before I even started listening to purity ring. just started a few days ago, thought I'd see what was on youtube... lo and behold...
If this was a movie, I'd watch the hell out of it!
I love you, purity.
it's like being elevated to the sky, then dropped again to earth. The moment of silence you are waiting to burn into the atmosphere, and finally you become a falling star
such a wonderful song with so much meaning, but so much underrated :( I can relate to every word they are saying! Its like a new beginning of understanding things with a completely different view that I had before!
One of the best songs I've ever listened to. Love from Greece !!!
they've come so far, my little babes.
i think the lyrics of this song are so deep and so creative I just love it
Such a good song to come back to. I love the seriousness of the beat and synths.
I could listen to this over and over. Wait, I have lol. Love this band.
PURITY~! one of my favorites~! thank you for you're awesome music~!
Begin Again
Begin Again
Begin Again
I've been watching your kindness keep
A lonely company
Look at the fire and think of me
I've been watching you creep
Around my wandering feet
Trying for years to flee
I need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding sound
You be the moon I'll be the earth
And when we burst
Start over o darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again [x2]
My moon o my moon
Not even into
Another eternity
Will you stop your lovely orbiting
I had held it a world away
Until my body 'gan to say
I need not one thing more
O wrap the ground around
Your gentle winding mind
O guard the pounding sound
Breathe in your fiery air
O wrap the ground around
Give back an hungrier stare
O guard the pounding sound
You be the moon I'll be the earth
And when we burst
Start over o darling
Begin again
Begin again
Begin again [x2]

Purity RIng DJ set tonight in Detroit!
love this song I could play this song more than once a week &still won't get sick of hearing it😍😘lol
やっと見つけた、5年振りの再会。どこにも見つからなかったから嬉しい
This video should have 100 millions of views and the song should be in the place #1 on billboard's list!
The fusion of a breathtaking song with an equally as breathtaking cinematography ignites my very core. Love, love, and love what the music video does. Mesmerizing. 🌺
I'm suprised this song isn't more popular
I seen them three times last year and the song is like flooding back memories.
Gracias por todo bebés ❤️ los amo
♥️ saw them sing this live! unbelievable especially when everyone signs together in unison ⚡️
Thank you for producing this beautiful music! ^.^
I couldn't get into purity ring when shrines came out a decade ago--they felt like a watered-down crystal castles, who happen to be my favorite band. but I just heard this song for the first time a week or so ago, and it's on constant repeat. the lyrics are beautiful and the drop is mesmerizing. this tune has some remarkable production value and staying power. really wonderful songwriting.
they should make a movie out of this video, that could be really interesting.
Her voice cuts through my soul
This deserves its’ own Wikipedia page, please, someone...
I've been waiting for another purity ring video for a while now and this is amazing. Totally worth the wait.
You be the moon I'll be the earth
I found this yesterday and today I order the CD, love this album 😍
I'm so happy Nightcorereality remixed this, otherwise I never would have found this wonderful artist!
same
I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG!
TGIF because Purity Ring uploaded this (:
Cloudy Rainbow
Amazed. I feel unnerved yet serene like always when you do something new. The audio in this particular video was done SUPERBLY. I don't know if that's just me being captivated or you guys doing one Hell of a job perfecting things. So much love for what you two do❤
amor por essa música, amor por esse video, amor por essa banda. senhor! 💙
y muy amor por tu, senorita. lo siento, estoy espanol es no bueno.
Amazing video! It's a difficult one to process but one that speaks beyond what the song itself meant to me when the album came out. Truly inspiring.
First time I heard this was the wait music for some call centre. After 10 seconds I was hooked af.
Lol....really?
how did i miss this? such music makes me calm...

Me encanta ✨💕
Father God's Back UP Order....AMEN
why is this so underrated?
LOVE THIS SO MUCH! This flat/sharp notes during the chorus give me chills :D
coisa mais linda!
IMHO this is one of the finest music videos ever made.
I tend to take things literally: the events in the video are taking place sometime in the distant future. The older woman - and, conceivably, other people who have power / wealth - are taking advantage of some form of durable and highly resilient advanced biotechnology for life extension. The trees grow new bodies with unformed minds, the 'ballsack' fruit somehow facilitates swapping consciousness between the old and the new body - and then the old body is disposed of. It is a system / technology that is designed to survive even a complete societal breakdown. Think about it: if you want to live *forever* by switching bodies, you’ll want to ensure that the body-switching technology is also available *forever*, so adapting it to be purely organic (ie, trees) makes a lot of sense.
So: the video is set centuries after such a societal collapse: there’s no more hi-tech industry, but the organic ‘immortality biotech’ survives. The older woman planted “her” tree when she was much younger, and now her new body is ripe and it’s time to do the switch.
The old guy drips fluid from the cut root on himself because he believes it will help to keep him young. Perhaps he was deemed unworthy of a new body?
I suspect the young nun abrasively scrubs the new body because she simply doesn’t like the older woman - perhaps it’s payback for some punishment the older woman meted out to her at some earlier time?
Question: what is going on in the sky? Is it residue from the collapse?
Question: how does a person plant “their” tree? The process is not shown. The young woman looks to me like a younger version of the older woman. Here’s a thought: after the conscious transfer, the older body is buried and a tree grows from it?
Question: what’s that white milky stuff in the glass? It doesn’t really look like milk.
