Animated video for a song from 311's newest record "Universal Pulse". Based on drawings by: Richard Louderback. Directed by: Matt Boda, Edited by: Alex Mercado and Animated by: Brett Celinski
There will be plenty of collecting of albums over time, finally 311 succeeded in getting me as a fan, I knew them since the 1990s but now I'm really digging them.
These boys were writing about Ayahuasca before anyone in the western world really knew what it was. Love this video, love the lyrics, love the song, love 311. Want to go on journey with SA :)
Someone commented this is about an ayahuasca trip... which is seems to fit the bill. But, there’s a deeper meaning about our spiritual journey in this song as in many other 311 songs most people overlook or just don’t understand or care. Nick and S.A. obviously understand reality about as much as one can conceptually. The verse and chorus are talking about the journey toward enlightenment over countless lives and what one will experience once removing all habitual dualistic conceptions from the mind or ego. Moments I think I know the answer seems to elude me. Sifting through nothing. The sand you cannot hold. Destination nowhere... Reality can never be understood with conceptions or thoughts only experienced directly. When one question is answered more questions will arise. This process can never end. Once obscurations are removed one will experience the emptiness of reality and realize that there is nothing actually here, nowhere to go and nothing to do (or nothing worth doing) except help ease the sufferings of others. In my mind this is why 311 uses their music to help others have positivity vs. negativity. Negativity causes suffering to the one being negative and those around them and possibly all the way up to other people across the world. The song “inner light spectrum” from the album Transistor also refers to final enlightenment and how love and compassion will shine from your heart like a thousand suns. There is one thing I can say about this life we are living... let it flow cuz it won’t stop. And when the kind consciousness yes comes unto you... you will know that it won’t stop.
P-Nut's bass solo is so cool on this one. I give 'em credit for going it alone on this album, doing shit like this on youtube and thinking outside of the box. 311's positivity and creativity are what make them a great band and great people, and let me not forget their killer live shows. I can't think of any other bands that would play for 5 1/2 hrs & 60 something songs on annual basis and keep uping the ante every year with 311 Day being multiple days in Vegas, the 311 Cruises, Pow Wow...
A million years ago, it a very different place, I made someone with great power very happy. And he or she made 311 for me to enjoy today. And I am grateful.
@Chevontez Agree! Its ironic how this video looks like some Volcom art from 2006 when I started to listen to 311 and get their message. Oh that was the year!
Dude. This video, man. It reached into my soul, right? And just tickled the fuck out of it! 311 is a strong band, and has been at this for a while. Sit back, catch a session and enjoy! Btw, is that mitt romney at 1:57? :D
@TheDjb85 do you think it's an easy task to make a video like this one? you have no idea....i think this is brilliant and better video than HEY YOU for example, i'm a huge 311 fan since i was 12 yrs old...now at 29yrs i can tell you that 311 is not the excelent band they are because of their videos and that's something i must recognize .....but this one? this is by far one of the best videos i've seen...becasue they go out of the "standar" they always come up with new shit.. I LOVE IT! =) PEACE
Whenever people group this record in with their not-so-great period, I just don't get it. Yes, the same horrible producer as Uplifter but these 8 songs were the strongest since Evolver and its been uphill from there.
@311universe It's my opinion. Also, don't assume that you know me. I know what is involved in making this video right here. I just would rather see something more from them then these iPad made music videos.... I bet YOU didn't even know that. I just think their videos lack A LOT, even though this video is creative and out of the "standar" , whatever that means. Peace.
and how the fuck do you expect them to make a music video on tour? its not like they're sitting around doing nothing so give it time, its better they have these animated videos then having nothing at all
Why do they have to make a real video? They tour every year and release an album every couple years. They are putting a lot of effort into their music. Why do they need to put more effort into making a video? 311 has always been more about the music. You probably want them to have pyrotechnics and other crap at their shows too... Just enjoy the music.
Why can't they make an actual music video? no name underground acts make great self produced films with nothing but an HD camcorder, software, and a decently written plot. C'mon guys. Put in some effort.

This has a transistor sort of feel. Digging it. 311 for life!
" The way to go " Yeah said
that bass solo about 3 min 10 sec into the video is amazing
One more second, and P-Nut makes 311.
There will be plenty of collecting of albums over time, finally 311 succeeded in getting me as a fan, I knew them since the 1990s but now I'm really digging them.
This shit is so fucking good. All of it. Unreal, love it. This shit is on heavy rotation.
♪Destination nowhere oooooooooohh♪

This is playing in my head as I drive down I-81 in VA. 311 FOREVER!!!
SA's style on this song is soo Transistor. I love it.

Got absolutely lost....the music never stops
What an amazing song, thanks 311 for all your creation on behalf of your fans for all these decades.
I agree, this is a great video!!

A million years ago, it a very different place, I made someone with great power very happy.

And I am grateful.

Dude very psychedelic 311 video.Awesomeness!
Some kind of spiritual journey through the dimesion of space's dream, I'm so glad about Universal Pulse :)
This video is like a creepy animated version of exactly what I imagined for this song..well done.
This song will be playing next time we travel somewhere
much symbolism
@Chevontez Agree! Its ironic how this video looks like some Volcom art from 2006 when I started to listen to 311 and get their message. Oh that was the year!
Great way to close out such a short album
De los mejores albunes de 311, sin contar que hay genialidades hechas por estos chicos...
I understood half of that. Spanish class is really paying off. Something like this is a major album from 311, without..... there is great......guys
ohhh my that solo !
this is like...i'm on acid..whoooooooa e-e AMAZING
Put in some effort? Don't shit on the person who made this video, this is one of 311's dopest music videos in a long time. I dig it!
lol wtf this video is trippy as fuck this is effort i enjoyed and as long as someone enjoys it its a success
How long will 311's music echo into the future?
Forever
*Forever Now
2020 with another ECHO
Dude. This video, man. It reached into my soul, right? And just tickled the fuck out of it! 311 is a strong band, and has been at this for a while. Sit back, catch a session and enjoy! Btw, is that mitt romney at 1:57? :D

Rest In peace Dirty
Nice drugs, Bro!
this is my theme song. it describes my life almost perfectly.
Whenever people group this record in with their not-so-great period, I just don't get it. Yes, the same horrible producer as Uplifter but these 8 songs were the strongest since Evolver and its been uphill from there.
99
lol. take a toke and enjoy!!!
@pau1r lol why duz it matter no one said u had to watch the video u watched it outa ur own free will so any blame is on you
That floating head looks like Mitt Romney.
@TheDjb85 but I have to say this video is the best one to date for the album. but seriously, make a real video.
U HERE? :?:
should've had ralston mix/engineer this album...
I didn't say I don't like the video. My comment was directed at the comment made by "TheDhb85"
Mittler would never dance with tribal people. He'd probably just yell at them for not having jobs, and take away their food stamps lol..
@311universe It's my opinion. Also, don't assume that you know me. I know what is involved in making this video right here. I just would rather see something more from them then these iPad made music videos.... I bet YOU didn't even know that.

and how the fuck do you expect them to make a music video on tour? its not like they're sitting around doing nothing so give it time, its better they have these animated videos then having nothing at all
fuck. first
@TheDjb85 chill dude...breathe!! jajaja it's your opinion as well as what i said it's mine....don't take things personal here in YT
Pnut is god

Was into it until the ending, yikes
