    I'm surprised this never became a huge hit that was on the radio all the time like Don't Stop (Color on the Walls) and Pumped up Kicks. I wish this, Pseudologia Fantastica, and Truth would all get as popular....

They will get noticed the way they deserve soon but its taken years to get as noticed As tbey are now. ....Aerosmith had this problem for years (like 10 + years!) and look at how huge they are now.

    For those of you who don't get the video or think it's "creepy", it's showing that we get consumed by the media that sets standards on what we (GENERALLY women) should look like: tall, skinny, long legs and neck, pretty, big eyes and thin waist. And those standards start to get to our heads leading us to do outrageous things and disorders like bulimia and anorexia just to feel appreciated and to fit in, but even after all of that we still arent satisfied with our selves. The media is responsible for death, starvation, malnutrition, hospitalization, etc and is messing up teenage girls' and women's lives just because of some stupid standards. Remember this to all the beautiful creatures with low self esteems, If you feel beautiful on the inside, then you'll start to feel beautiful on the outside too

    Absolutely in love with this video, at 3:35 you can see the girl in the blue dress look inside the room. However, look more closely at the dress she's wearing the poem on the cover art of supermodel is written on the dress. Then at 4:05 you see her throwing up the dress with all the cameras looking at her and taking picture of her, in technicality she's throwing up the poem. Just like in the cover art of their album. The video itself is so creatively powerful. It shows that when you conform to society you hurt yourself more than anyone else because you become so fixated on being this ideal of beautiful or ideal or a "supermodel" that you start to forget the whole idea of what it is to be living. 10 out of 10 for this video. This is why I love foster the people, they always have deeper meanings to everything they do. Anything they write or touch or put their minds into is golden.

    Having watched the Supermodel documentary and read into the album's backstory I actually feel really proud to say that I understand this video entirely. The scene of the model throwing up on the runway is taken from the record's cover and translates back to the poem of consumption written by Foster. All in all for those of you who are confused by the video, it focuses on today's generation and our fascination with society's idea of idealism and how we base our self worth on how other people perceive us (ie: how many likes we get on instagram/retweets on twitter). And yeah as you've probably already guessed I'm completely obsessed with this darn band.

    "Best Friend"
    (When your best friend's all strung out)
    You do everything you can
    'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
    (When you find it all around)
    Yeah, it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start
    Feelings sleeping, in the field again,
    But, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel, it's beginning to end
    Yeah, premonition smiling in the dark
    Oh, I can see, I can see, I can see the story's starting to arc
    Ohhh ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh
    It dries up
    I've been a spoken word
    I've been a river bed
    I've been a rabid force
    And let it flow out from within
    Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
    Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhhhh, ahhhhh
    And color's so oh!
    (When your best friend's all strung out)
    You do everything you can
    'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
    (When you find it all around)
    Yeah, you say it's what you need
    And hide your eyes when you're close to me
    (With your feet up in the clouds)
    Well, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start
    Waves in theta, slipping into dreams
    Oh, I can feel, I can feel, I can feel the celestial beings
    Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath
    I can see, I can see, I can see the beauty in the mess
    Ohhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhh
    It dries up
    I've been a river bed
    I tried to salt the wound
    I've carried more than I can
    I feel I've got a lot to prove
    Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
    Ohhh, ohhh, ohhhh, ohhh
    But color's so oh!
    (When your best friend's all strung out)
    You do everything you can
    'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
    (When you find it all around)
    Yeah, you say it's what you need
    You hide your eyes when you're close to me
    (With your feet up in the clouds)
    You oughta know
    That I'm here no matter where you go
    (With your head hanging upside-down)
    Well, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start
    I am here, no matter where you are
    I'm waiting here with, open arms, no matter where you are
    Sometimes you have to wait,
    Until it passes by like a satellite or star
    No matter where you are
    (When your best friend's all strung out)
    You know it
    Ooh-hoooo-hooooo
    (With your feet up in the clouds)
    Oh, yeah, you know it

    I once was the best friend. Strung out, with nothing.
    A friend opened his house to me, and my life has completely turned around. Got a job, got in shape, stopped using. Its so hard to do these things with no hope, been there for far to long. Nothing to look forward to. To not be excited about the rest of your life. Only capable of seeing the darkness and bad in the world.
    There is darkness and bad everywhere in the world, but good is there to. Life is perspective, and if your perspective has since the time of your birth been 110% trying to survive, its impossible to see anything better. To see what you could be.
    Don't put yourself down. You're a human being, even if you use. Don't hate yourself for using, that is not the right way to better yourself. That is focusing on the bad. Focus on the good, love yourself, self care. Take care of yourself because you are the only one who can, not even a Significant Other can (or should have to). If you can't stop using, start doing good things to yourself at least, to show yourself you care about yourself.
    Perhaps that will help. It helped me, I love the part of me that loves to use, it is a part of me that made me who I am today (better then I ever was before). Maybe I'll use again, but I won't put myself down for doing so. I'll instead be there for myself to figure out why and to fix whatever problem is there because I care about myself. My whole self.
    Take this all with a grain of salt. I'm lucky, unfortunately more lucky then a lot of people on the planet.
    Wish you all well.

    Love the message in this video. Really brings home the destructiveness of the media and their sense of beauty. The poor girl was beautiful to begin with, but is "not beautiful enough" according the the standards of "those in the know" . Thus she succumbs to the demons of vanity, lust, and jealousy in order to be recognized as beautiful. These internal demons are shown as external projections in the video (Ie; she becomes a literal demon). Her shape shifting is reminiscent of all the things that people go through in order to be accepted as being "beautiful" (first absorption is like plastic surgery, second absorption is working out, third absorption is anorexia).
    Even with her power, she always runs into someone with a certain feature that is better than hers, thus she is constantly absorbing people until she looks more alien than human. She never realizes that it was her imperfections that made her beautiful in the first place.
    Eventually, like many people that are stuck in the cycle of beauty in the supermodel business, the constant strain she puts on herself is too great and her body eventually gives out.
    Just a sad, sad industry.

    I like this video and I also think it’s very important. I had anorexia when I was a teenager and I put myself in some really dangerous health conditions. This video reminds me of that period of my life and how I have fully recovered mentally and physically. Pay attention to your kids, if you have the talk about sex, have the talk about body image and self-love, how most things are unreal, talk about how important it is to take care of your body. Social media and beauty standards can be very damaging sometimes. Try to understand and be patient with your body. If you read this and you are going to something related, I understand completely, I really do. Seek help and listen to the people that love you, even if you don’t think that’s true. Try to love yourself, one bit at a time, everyday.

    This song popped into my head randomly and all I could remember was vaguely the concept of this video. I was looking up "music video where model becomes super skinny and tall" or "music video where model becomes alien" and couldn't find anything lmao. Thankfully I dug enough and eventually found the video. I'm glad I did I used to love this song back in the day.

      Absolutely. People that are calling FTP a one hit wonder have no idea how the music industry works. In the alternative world they are considered trailblazing hitmakers. Besides, they are more of an album artist and they have had two top ten albums already - and two #1 alt. albums.

  • @gracejoyce45
    @gracejoyce45 10 років тому +15

    My interpretation of best friend:
    In a video, Mark Foster talked about how he was suffering writer's block and how he was "all strung out" of ideas, hence "when your best friend's all strung out." And he said that he wrote a song about that. So I think his "best friend" is either music or his own mind. This is supported in the line "Yeah, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start."
    I think "I can feel its beginning to end" would be about ideas starting to flow again. This may be a long shot but "smiling in the dark" could relate to how Mark writes in what he calls his "cave."
    "I've been a river bed, I've been a rabid force" I think this part is speaking about how Mark had plenty of ideas flowing in the past and has been passionate (e.g. sparking the need to discuss gun control laws and bullying through Pumped Up Kicks)
    "Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white" I think this line is speaking of the lack of creativity Mark has been feeling.
    "I'm here, no matter where you are, So let it in with, open arms, no matter where you are, Sometimes, you'll have to wait, And it passes by like a satellite or star, No matter where you are" I feel like this part could be referring to how creativity is an existing being on its own and its not something one can just force when called upon, it comes to you and its up to you to seize it.
    With all this being said, the album artwork and film clip of this song do show a strong connection to the song being abut drugs. I think Mark Foster has written this song about both things simultaneously and in parallel with each other, showing just how brilliant of an artist he is, because while the song is about creativity, it also encapsulates the whole notion of the Supermodel album.
    Foster has said in interviews that the album is very much a comment on modern culture, consumerism and the way we strive for society's idea of perfection to become like supermodels.
    In the Best Friend video clip, the model consumes the other models to obtain the features she desires most in order to make herself perfect, however this vanity works against her and it hurts her as she's not able to keep everything down - leading to the part of the clip where she collapses on the catwalk, paralleling with the Supermodel album cover.
    I think maybe the idea of the model being on drugs and the model being the personification of society could be Mark Foster saying that society needs to think more clearly about what beauty is because with how irrational society is, it may as well be on drugs.
    (I could be completely wrong about all of this though hahahahah)

    This is my interpretation of the song:
    The main girl you see is obviously a supermodel who is trying to fit in to society's definition of "a perfect supermodel". When she eats the girls, she's eating what she doesn't "have". She keeps constantly eating and changing(morphing) herself to get what society says is perfect. When she walks onto the runway, the audience gasps because she isn't what they want to see.
    She tried too hard to become something society said was perfect. And when she throws up the dress from the last girl she has ate, the dress is the poem Mark wrote on the cover of Supermodel. It's a genius and beautiful video showing us the problems us women/girls are having today, to be perfect.

Just take it early afternoon! I took mine at night and toward the end I was so tired but LSD doesn't let you sleep. So I was battling sleep while tripping toward the end. That was my mistake though

      I am here, no matter where you are
      I'm waiting here with, open arms, no matter where you are
      Sometimes you have to wait,
