Make so much sense to me. Be understood and understand the one you love. Find someone you know how to talk to and who knows what words to use to talk to you too.
Can you please explain to me what is this line means at the context of the song? I’m not an English speaking person and I’m afraid that I can’t get it not because of metaphor but because of bad language knowing and bad understanding of the whole lyrics of the song
@@sibkhan2364 So the lines before are "oh these three worn words, that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona". In Verona there is a statue of Juliet, and an old legend states that rubbing the statue brings your relationship good luck. Sadly, the rubbing hands of so many tourists desperate to bless their relationship have eroded the statue, and now access is restricted. So the message is those three worn words (3ww) of "I love you" are said so often and potentially insincerely in order to force a relationship to work, maybe out of pressure, like the desperation to rub the statue, and have ruined the meaning like this erosion. Thus the lead singer wants to "love him/her in his own language", free from the outside pressure, clichéd ways and desperation to make the relationship work. Something meaningful to him and them.
When I lost my friend in a car accident I lost interest in all of my music, a few years later now I played along to this song with my cello for the first time in 5 years. A tear fell down my eyes, I was never one for showing emotions but this touched me deeply, I truly miss him.
Know that he was most definitely with you in that moment and still is whenever you think of him. Your souls both connected through the vibration of your music as your love/subconscious intention sent out a vibrational chord to him. Quantum entanglement. Know that you are always connected and he is always with you💗
I had this playing and was scrolling through other things on my phone, came back to this and your comment was at the top, at precisely the moment this lyric was sung. If that’s not synchronicity I don’t know what is.
For a long time this was my favorite song. I listened to it almost every night to sleep because it helped me go through everything i was facing. Now I have grown and I found who I think is the love of my life. I showed her this song and it's like our song now. I just so happy we get to share this beautiful masterpiece and make it our thing. Thank you Alt-J.
Years later, years of listening, and years of tears. alt-j’s songs still are different. They way the speak truth and there poetry just makes a human want to cry. Understanding what they went threw to play a song this deep is amazing and tear shedding. “ I just want to love you in my own language “
Hermosa representación del amor y muerte en México. Tan sublime esa linea delgada entre la vida la muerte y el amor eterno que trasciende despues de que termina la vida! Cultura mexicana transpasando fronteras! Los adoro Alt-J
@@kikaisanabria5778 esa canción está basada en la novela méxicana "Pedro Paramo" de Juan Rulfo, donde explora la complejidad de la vida, la muerte y las relaciones humanas.
3WW= Three Worn Words The 3 words= I LOVE YOU Why worn? Because people tend to overuse it and some don't even truly mean it. "I Just want to love you in my own language" makes his expression of his love to her/him more personal and truer and more purer. My take:)
Every Alt-J song takes me on a different journey... from Taro or Nara to the more recent ones... there are very few bands/artist who do that these days! Thank You, guys! Love you
So beautiful and what a quote " I Just Want to Love You in my Own Language." The best live performance money can buy. My absolute favorite band of all time. No frills just pure organic talent at its best.
4:39 - 5:27 I love this part, partially because it's different from the rest of the song, but also because it embodies the man's feelings so well. The slow, subtly skewed tune embodies the frustration, tiredness, and haze of the mind the man must be experiencing, carrying this heavy coffin under the hot sun with dogs attacking him at the end.
Me imagino que se inspiraron en el realismo mágico hispanoamericano, una corriente literaria que, llevada a la pantalla con este lujo de calidad, es todo un deleite.
Si bien me encanta toda la inspiración latinoamericana del video me suena a una reversión de Romeo y Julieta. Hasta habla de Verona en la letra de la canción
I think the video is about grievance. So at the beginning, the whole village and family are carrying the coffin and then there's a small group of people carrying her and then ultimately its just the man and his donkey, then just the man. I think this represents how over time, less and less people are grieving for her but her assumed lover in the story continues to grieve. I think the wolves represent people telling him to get over it and move on and the donkey represents his sanity which is broken by the wolves. He continues to try and push on but the grief that he is literally carrying on his back is too much for him and it results in his suicide. I'm probably completely off but that's just what I took from it. Fuck alt j is beautiful. Like a Mexican Romeo and Juliet
I actually agree with you and I don't think you're far off. I think most works are meant to be interpreted by the individual, but that's close to what I perceived it as too.
This is the deepest level of art. You are the U in the Universe. There is sorrow only because there is joy. There is light, only because there is darkness. Know thy self, for you are creating your self.
Here's the Lyric: "3WW" (feat. Ellie Rowsell) [Gus Unger-Hamilton:] There was a wayward lad Stepped out one morning The ground to be his bed The sky his awning [Joe Newman:] Neon, neon, neon A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field Can't surround so you lean on, lean on So much your heart's become fond of this [Joe Newman + Gus Unger-Hamilton:] Oh, these three worn words Oh, that we whisper Like the rubbing hands Of tourists in Verona I just want to love you in my own language [Joe Newman:] Well, that smell of sex Good like burning wood The wayward lad laid claim To two thirsty girls from Hornsea Who left a note when morning came [Ellie Rowsell:] Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi) The road erodes at five feet per year Along England's east coastline Was this your first time? Love is just a button we pressed Last night by the campfire [Joe Newman + Ellie Rowsell:] Oh, these three worn words Oh, that we whisper Like the rubbing hands Of tourists in Verona I just want to love you in my own language
I dont get the lyrics..whisper words like rubbing tourist hands? leaning on neonlight that cant surround? huh? what do you mean? whats youre point? does the clip has a point as well? what is it? and whats whit the coffin?..Love the music though..theres nothing like it!!
vinnie X It's supposed to be describing the feelings that go within loving someone. It also seems to be implying in this song that the man in question had a three-way with two girls, who left him by the next day, only leaving a note. The whole song is just describing a campfire night out with a man and two women who happen to all have sex together. However, in the misic video, it makes the lyrics seem more deep than that, that it's more about the whole concept of love and the emotions and experiences that come with it. The music video is displaying a sort of Romeo and Juliet story, if you remember in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet fakes her own death with a priest, so she can visit her Romeo, who was banished. However, Romeo never got word of her plans, and visited her corpse, commiting suicide on her deathbed, and Juliet does the same when she wakes up. It seems like with this Romeo and Juliet, he already knew of her plans, which is why he steals her away from the people burying her. But in the end, after she awakens, she finds her Romeo dead by her deathbed.
this is my favorite music video to this day... and i've known it since its release, several years ago (and counting!). it's been with me throughout many of my ups and all of my downs. i adore the semiotic behind every element, the symbolism of latin american cultures, and mostly the fact i always feel a different way after watching it. thank you, alt-j!
God this sentence "I just want to love you in my own language".. Brings back so many feelings and nostalgy to me, Alt J is by far one of the best bands there is at the moment, thanks for making songs which we can relate to and feel about (coming from someone who has difficulties expressing his emotions)
I just love it when you can't work out where a great song is going. But you know you are really going to enjoy the journey and none of the directions it takes are disappointing.
This video and Jacob Banks' Slow up are two all time best cinematography among music videos ! It's just so beautiful. Can't stop watching this over and over again.
Today i got a new interpretation on this... when the girl takes off the plant it’s a metaphor for an old saying we have in brazil that tells us that when we are suffering we have to “cut the evil from its roots”: in spite of the bigger Pain when we do this, later it will be better. The man carrying the coffin is a metaphor for us carrying the Weight and the pain of a loved one or a relationship that’s already dead, until the Point it gets so unbearable that he dies too - his feelings are gone. When he does this, he liberates the girl - now she’s free. It’s like in the end he gets to the same point where she was when she initially decided to end the relationship “cutting the evil from its roots.” Anyone gets that too?
El protagonista lleva el cadáver de su amada atravesando un Páramo, primero con un caballo y luego es atacado por una jauría de lobos. No le queda mas remedio que llevar en sus espaldas el ataúd, se derrengara pero llevara la preciada carga a un sitio seguro. El esfuerzo termina por matarlo, y en un acto de belleza suprema la muerta lo entierra a él. Esto sin lugar a dudas es Rulfo. Cuando Pedro Páramo muere sentado en su equipal añorando a Susana San Juan, es Damiana quien ya muerta le toca los hombros, y Pedro Páramo le contesta:" ya voy". También en la novela Juan Preciado es enterrado por muertos. El video es una cosa bellísima.
Igual que cuando salió solo el audio me dieron ganas de llorar y no sé por qué. Quizás porque tiene un tono nostálgico y muy calmado, es como... Sientes que la música te abraza. Me encanta esta canción y me encanta Alt-J, no estoy preparada para un álbum más pero bring it on.
Can't stop coming back to this. And it still retains the same charm as my first time listening to this beauty. Dunno if it makes sense, but the entire deal, from the haunting video to the sublime tune, it all feels like flipping through a Marquez novel.
Simplemente una una gran obra, la canción era excelente por si sola, ahora con el vídeo se vuelve una obra única y entrañable. incluso muestra un lado de México que muchos están olvidando. Gracias por tan magnífica obra.
La filmación fue en Real de Catorce dirigida por estadounidenses con crew Mexa y la post-producción y efectos también hecha en México por artistas visuales Mexas,, trabajando en remoto desde un pueblito en Morelos con el director en California.
Alt J is the best human history band. First they talked about social radical practices/atrocities in An Awesome Wave, then about photographers and the times of war in This is all yours, now about magical realism and literature in Relaxer. They are the best, i want someone to make a theory linking all of their songs and themes

Alt-J sabe lo hermoso que es la cultura mexicana .. rica y bella de cualquier punto que lo veas.. bravo por este video.. me hizo erizar la piel.. y la canción excelentes como son ellos!! los amo!! 💓👏
I love any artist that experiments with different sounds and especially different instruments. That's what makes a true "artist" when it comes to musical talent
Man, Alt-J just started playing while I was studying and after hearing 'Adeline' I went down the rabbit hole and now there's this song. They are truly amazing.
I used to listen to this song with someone I loved, now that we’re separate and we barely remember each other, the lyrics and the video make so much sense to me.
Cada vez mais admirado com essa banda, que nunca parem de criar musicas, sinceramente, uma criatividade musical fora do comum....eles estão contribuindo e evoluindo a musica.
Es imperdonable distanciarse de la literatura nuestra. Veo el video, leo los comentarios, y por supuesto recuerdo Pedro Páramo... y todo Rulfo. Mientras lo veía recordaba también todo lo que me hizo sentir el "¡Ah pues!... se murió como un pajarito" de Gallegos en Cantaclaro (con el inevitable nudo en la garganta). Y me abrumó la cantidad de magia y tristeza que tiene nuestra literatura, toda la belleza de nuestra literatura. Es triste olvidarse de eso, o dejarla a un lado porque el trabajo es mucho y no siempre tiene que ver, o porque hay que leer a Joyce, a Tolkien o lo que sea, nada más que para entrenar un idoma. Caigo de nuevo en lo primero y lo personalizo: no me perdono distanciarme de mi literatura, de nuestra literatura. Y ahora tengo unas ganas enormes de leérmelo todo, de nuevo y no. Gracias, Alt-J, por esto... This vid is fucking amazing and the song is incredibly beautiful....
La melancolía que sentimos todos los que hemos perdido a un ser amado. Está canción refleja perfectamente ese sentir. La vida está y se nos va en un suspiro.
this video is truly amazing, and as a Mexican fan I feel great about them using such a beautiful location, Real de Catorce is amazing. Really nice work Alt-J
Ahí merol fue la filmacha que afortunadamente me tocó supervisar y los vfx, animación y post la hicimos en Tepoztlán Morelos. Luego me los topé tocándola en el Corona y ni sabía y nunca los conocí. Jaja así la vida pero sí rifan como Rulfo.
Bueno chavos, para la gente que no entiende este pedo, les recomiendo leer "La contracultura en México" de José Agustín xd el problema es que no sé si exista una traducción al idioma natal de quien lo quiera leer. Y bueno, seguramente ya lo habrán comentado pero la "bruja" encargada de preparar el ololiuhqui es María Sabina, quien fue visitada por artistas, científicos y antropólogos en los 60's, debido a su basto conocimiento y experiencia y rituales en este alucinógeno. . Real de catorce es la segunda mayor capital de este producto (mal conocido como peyote), luego de Huautla, ambas en Oaxaca. Espero le haya servido de algo a alguien y haya despertado un poco de interés sobre todo el contexto en real de catorce. Y ahuevo, sí, qué chingon poder comentar en mexicano un vídeo tan bergas como el de Alt-J, ahuevo banda! :v
The video and the song is some new level of genius I didn't fully appreciate when just listening to the song. The video is immaculate and somehow adds 100 new levels of deep to this song
I can see references to Carl Dreyer 's film "Vampyr" (1932) here, especially the coffin window and the work with the black and white photography, if you liked the atmosphere of this video, run and watch this masterpiece, the most poetic and gothic vampire film ever, in my opinion. Thanks to Alt-j for their deep music, it feels so good to see that this kind of video can have more than 3 million views!
Es de los videos más hermosos,la historia, la canción genial, los actores me encantaron, la locación, todooooo.... la participación de Ellie Rowsell padrísima.
Just be sure your intentions come across as your way of showing love....don't allow your language to be misinterpretted. Personally I'd rather my person know that I love them, there should be no doubt in their mind I'm always acting in the loving intentions of my heart regardless who the person is. Why cant we all just love each other? I see the snakes in peoples eyes dance....when they see their opportunity to strike. Everybody strives for something, but if we put our selfish reptilian wants aside and did selfless acts of kindness in our every single interaction, we all could prosper....thrive....not just struggle trying to survive....society, government, childhood programming the old system wont work anymore. For snakes, people dont shed their skin so well I'm tired of the cobwebs from all the lies the spinners spun. It's the rise of a new sun, a new day. We gotta go in with a fresh approach leaving everything we once knew behind. Not forgetting but moving forward in stride with our purpose. When these people gonna rise with me? When's this crowd gonna stand with me like a forest's of redwoods? They're letting Gaia's forests burn and for what? We ain't gonna be silent. The truth bombs will rain justice on the unrighteous
Can you please explain to me what is this line means at the context of the song? I’m not an English speaking person and I’m afraid that I can’t get it not because of metaphor but because of bad language knowing and bad understanding of the whole lyrics of the song
@@sibkhan2364 Hi! I think "i just want to love you in my own language" conveys wanting to love someone in a way that makes sense and feels meaningful to you. Loving someone in a way that is private, personal, and full of feeling. Rather than referring to a language such as English, Farsi, or Spanish, it refers to the language of one's heart. Loving someone in your own language means loving them in the purest way possible, without an ounce of contrivance or deception. Its the language that comes straight out of your heart, with no filter of shame, fear, or cynicism. I hope this helps, and I appreciate the question!
Can't wait for the analysation of the interpretations of this video to be analysed. But I am afraid the analysation of the analysation of the interpretations of this video will be interpreted too. Better should have kept it to myself then..
Check also another video from afterlife director Emily Kai Bock - majical cloudz - childhood’s end. (Actually check all of her videos, for example grizzly bear -yet again
Acabo de descubriros!! Fantástico vídeo. Esta tarde os he escuchado en Radio 3 en España y me ha fascinado vuestro sonido. Me ha impresionado también vuestro vídeo. Muy cuidado, muy fotográfico.
what i like about alt-j, is that their music videos seem to be drafted like having contemplated about how a movie to which their music would fit to would look like, unlike other bands who just portray themselves.
If you just want to listen to the song, the music starts at 1:29 and the singing starts at 3:08. However, you should watch the whole video if you can, because it explains the song and it's really well made. 😊
Damn.. at the beginning I didn't really see how the setting of the video and the mood of the song could be combined into one, but at the end I was amazed. It fits pefectly together once you know the whole story. Just like the entirety of "This is All Yours"
From what I've seen I think it's about a traditional ceremony in a small village somewhere in South America where a girl and a boy fall in love and then she dies while giving birth or something. So the guy has to transport her cascet to a kind of a burial and he has some obstacles on the way. They are finally together in the afterlife. Something like that xD
The "rubbing hands of tourists in Verona" are those on the breasts of Juliet's statue in Verona. Now, we know alt-J are influenced by literature and films, so there can be more influences on this song. But the myth of Romeo and Juliet is definitely beyond the lines of the song.
Realde catorce, de mis lugares favorito! El altiplano de San Luis Potosí, el bello desierto de México, cerca de matehuala y mi amado Doctor Arroyo N.L. representando México 💚

"I just want to love you in my own language" is one of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard
Make so much sense to me. Be understood and understand the one you love. Find someone you know how to talk to and who knows what words to use to talk to you too.
A secret of life has been revealed. Speak and find the one that listens to You.

Why worn? Because people tend to overuse it and some don't even truly mean it.
"I Just want to love you in my own language" makes his expression of his love to her/him more personal and truer and more purer.

@@aFoxyFox. possibly haha
@@nonstickbrute7941 lol thank you for laughing as well! I liked your ideas a lot!

Here's the Lyric:
"3WW"
(feat. Ellie Rowsell)
[Gus Unger-Hamilton:]
There was a wayward lad
Stepped out one morning
The ground to be his bed
The sky his awning
[Joe Newman:]
Neon, neon, neon
A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
Can't surround so you lean on, lean on
So much your heart's become fond of this
[Joe Newman + Gus Unger-Hamilton:]
Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper
Like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language
[Joe Newman:]
Well, that smell of sex
Good like burning wood
The wayward lad laid claim
To two thirsty girls from Hornsea
Who left a note when morning came
[Ellie Rowsell:]
Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi)
The road erodes at five feet per year
Along England's east coastline
Was this your first time?
Love is just a button we pressed
Last night by the campfire
[Joe Newman + Ellie Rowsell:]
Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper
Like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language
Ink 95
I thought it's "To two busty girls..."

I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be. I keep replaying that verse and can't hear, "thristy," anywhere.

It’s like in the end he gets to the same point where she was when she initially decided to end the relationship “cutting the evil from its roots.” Anyone gets that too?
How the fuck Is that related to Mexico
Yeah ..i get it
Do you think that's what the root is at the beginning? And how wld some boys from leeds know that?? But it makes absolute sense
She died my dude
El protagonista lleva el cadáver de su amada atravesando un Páramo, primero con un caballo y luego es atacado por una jauría de lobos. No le queda mas remedio que llevar en sus espaldas el ataúd, se derrengara pero llevara la preciada carga a un sitio seguro. El esfuerzo termina por matarlo, y en un acto de belleza suprema la muerta lo entierra a él. Esto sin lugar a dudas es Rulfo. Cuando Pedro Páramo muere sentado en su equipal añorando a Susana San Juan, es Damiana quien ya muerta le toca los hombros, y Pedro Páramo le contesta:" ya voy". También en la novela Juan Preciado es enterrado por muertos. El video es una cosa bellísima.
Uriel Cervantes, thank you :) I was trying to find the meaning of this video. So, its a novel, right?
Muy bien visto Uriel, justo llegue a lo mismo
URIEL CERVANTES gracias por contar la historia!!
We're not all as well read.
Grande Uriel 👐
I wish somone shared my passion for this group. Unbelieveable sounds, by far the best music around.
i've never had so many goose bumps with just one song
I was expecting a trippy video for this song but getting deep into it I started crying a little. Ugh! Love this guys.
Igual que cuando salió solo el audio me dieron ganas de llorar y no sé por qué. Quizás porque tiene un tono nostálgico y muy calmado, es como... Sientes que la música te abraza. Me encanta esta canción y me encanta Alt-J, no estoy preparada para un álbum más pero bring it on.
Alt-j, always telling beautiful stories with their music and videos ♥
I am fascinated hearing this song as an 53 old . Its a hammer, pure art..
Can't stop coming back to this. And it still retains the same charm as my first time listening to this beauty. Dunno if it makes sense, but the entire deal, from the haunting video to the sublime tune, it all feels like flipping through a Marquez novel.
Simplemente una una gran obra, la canción era excelente por si sola, ahora con el vídeo se vuelve una obra única y entrañable.
incluso muestra un lado de México que muchos están olvidando.
Gracias por tan magnífica obra.
La filmación fue en Real de Catorce dirigida por estadounidenses con crew Mexa y la post-producción y efectos también hecha en México por artistas visuales Mexas,, trabajando en remoto desde un pueblito en Morelos con el director en California.
Cada que veo este video termino llorando
Pedro Páramo
This is gonna be the best album of 2017.
Alt J is the best human history band. First they talked about social radical practices/atrocities in An Awesome Wave, then about photographers and the times of war in This is all yours, now about magical realism and literature in Relaxer. They are the best, i want someone to make a theory linking all of their songs and themes
"I just want to love you in my own language" what a beautiful statement... I wish I could write words like these one day...
this literally made me ascending. Unutterably strong. Unutterably deep and touching pretty every string of a human's soul
"3WW"
(feat. Ellie Rowsell)
[Gus Unger-Hamilton:]
There was a wayward lad
Stepped out one morning
The ground to be his bed
The sky his awning
[Joe Newman:]
Neon, neon, neon
A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
Can't surround so you lean on, lean on
So much your heart's become fond of this
[Joe Newman + Gus Unger-Hamilton:]
Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper
Like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language
[Joe Newman:]
Well, that smell of sex
Good like burning wood
The wayward lad laid claim
To two thirsty girls from Hornsea
Who left a note when morning came
[Ellie Rowsell:]
Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi)
The road erodes at five feet per year
Along England's east coastline
Was this your first time?
Love is just a button we pressed
Last night by the campfire
[Joe Newman + Ellie Rowsell:]
Oh, these three worn words
Oh, that we whisper
Like the rubbing hands
Of tourists in Verona
I just want to love you in my own language
.........
Alt-J sabe lo hermoso que es la cultura mexicana .. rica y bella de cualquier punto que lo veas.. bravo por este video.. me hizo erizar la piel.. y la canción excelentes como son ellos!! los amo!! 💓👏
that is pure art
ixidodo doge
matter of taste...
What? How?
I love any artist that experiments with different sounds and especially different instruments. That's what makes a true "artist" when it comes to musical talent
Man, Alt-J just started playing while I was studying and after hearing 'Adeline' I went down the rabbit hole and now there's this song. They are truly amazing.
these music videos are so well made. I almost wish they could be developed into their own films
The guitar in the beginning gets me every time
I just spent 6 minutes and 35 seconds in a trance. Thank you for this.
How does this group churn out such incredible songs and videos again and again?
The way Wolf Alice comes in is just ... I dunno ... just wow, love the way they involved her in this song. Perfect touch
I have known this song for so long and I love Wolf Alice but I never knew 😶
I used to listen to this song with someone I loved, now that we’re separate and we barely remember each other, the lyrics and the video make so much sense to me.
Stay strong. Love from India.
i'm crying and crying again...i'm so sensitive and lonely...god bless you all
Talk to me any time .
Haha jeez george.
Un vrai plaisir, aussi bien auditif que visuel... Alt-J
Constance Nicolas oh que oui..
Constance Nicolas Sa fait trop du bien
Tres Mexicain
Please never stop making music!! I don't know what I would do without your music! 🎶
Heard this at work for the first time ever last night, live. Loved. It
Man i still remember when they released this song, 3 years feels like yesterday
Same
I was thinking the same thing. Time flies!
For real, I’m only 13 but I’ve been listening to alt-j when I was 6 🙁
My favorite shot in this video is probably when the dog hesitates in the doorway. Awesome video for an awesome song. Can't wait for the album to drop.
That stood out for me as well
Where? Timestamp?
@@asapling 2:18
Cada vez mais admirado com essa banda, que nunca parem de criar musicas, sinceramente, uma criatividade musical fora do comum....eles estão contribuindo e evoluindo a musica.
I've watched this video plenty of times since it first came out, but today for some reason it hit different and it makes me want to cry.
Es imperdonable distanciarse de la literatura nuestra. Veo el video, leo los comentarios, y por supuesto recuerdo Pedro Páramo... y todo Rulfo. Mientras lo veía recordaba también todo lo que me hizo sentir el "¡Ah pues!... se murió como un pajarito" de Gallegos en Cantaclaro (con el inevitable nudo en la garganta). Y me abrumó la cantidad de magia y tristeza que tiene nuestra literatura, toda la belleza de nuestra literatura. Es triste olvidarse de eso, o dejarla a un lado porque el trabajo es mucho y no siempre tiene que ver, o porque hay que leer a Joyce, a Tolkien o lo que sea, nada más que para entrenar un idoma. Caigo de nuevo en lo primero y lo personalizo: no me perdono distanciarme de mi literatura, de nuestra literatura. Y ahora tengo unas ganas enormes de leérmelo todo, de nuevo y no. Gracias, Alt-J, por esto...
This vid is fucking amazing and the song is incredibly beautiful....
Amazing camera work. Simply perfect.
I had many ideas for this video and this song but I never thought of something like this. It really hits me emotional.
um it makes me so happy to hear my language and culture in a music video by a uk band that I adore!!!!!! Definitely awesome video.
La melancolía que sentimos todos los que hemos perdido a un ser amado. Está canción refleja perfectamente ese sentir. La vida está y se nos va en un suspiro.
Me and my boyfriend used to hang out in his car at night ,under the starry sky, smoking weed and listening to alt-j. I'm so lucky i have him.
Triangles are my favourite shape.
Old ones are still great^^
beckmala 3 points where two lines meet
3 points where two lines meet.
back to back, let's go
my love it's very late
when I saw that Alt-j was on the trending page, I was so happy! They are so amazing, yet so underrated.
Zoe Siemieniewski it’s better that way
Alt-J has the best music videos. Period.
Ellie's voice here really makes me fall for her *_*
this video is truly amazing, and as a Mexican fan I feel great about them using such a beautiful location, Real de Catorce is amazing. Really nice work Alt-J
I completely agree!
Mexican fan ? hahhahahaah
Oscar Fernandez ¿es Real de Catorce? 😍
Taxi driver hahahaha tf is that your ass on your pic now or later in life? Cos it reads like it could be you now
I don't always listen to this song, but when I do, I listen repeatedly non-stop and wear it out til next time.
A huevo! Viva Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi, Mexico!!!
Ahí merol fue la filmacha que afortunadamente me tocó supervisar y los vfx, animación y post la hicimos en Tepoztlán Morelos. Luego me los topé tocándola en el Corona y ni sabía y nunca los conocí. Jaja así la vida pero sí rifan como Rulfo.
This video...and this song...both, are outstanding!
deep inside there are feelings that can only be dug into with such music❤️🎧
Hello Fellow High Empath
Bueno chavos, para la gente que no entiende este pedo, les recomiendo leer "La contracultura en México" de José Agustín xd el problema es que no sé si exista una traducción al idioma natal de quien lo quiera leer. Y bueno, seguramente ya lo habrán comentado pero la "bruja" encargada de preparar el ololiuhqui es María Sabina, quien fue visitada por artistas, científicos y antropólogos en los 60's, debido a su basto conocimiento y experiencia y rituales en este alucinógeno. . Real de catorce es la segunda mayor capital de este producto (mal conocido como peyote), luego de Huautla, ambas en Oaxaca. Espero le haya servido de algo a alguien y haya despertado un poco de interés sobre todo el contexto en real de catorce. Y ahuevo, sí, qué chingon poder comentar en mexicano un vídeo tan bergas como el de Alt-J, ahuevo banda! :v
Eres idiota...es Pedro Páramo.
Renan Aguilar-Valenzuela y Real de Catorce es San Luis Potosí no Oaxaca
@@joeriv9453 descubriste el Pacifico.
Esto no es de México
@@marcoirazoque5744 sí es
okay but I'm not crying my eyes are just sweating ok
This piece is beautiful in such a mysterious way it brings tears to my eyes, what an artist
The video and the song is some new level of genius I didn't fully appreciate when just listening to the song. The video is immaculate and somehow adds 100 new levels of deep to this song
I can see references to Carl Dreyer 's film "Vampyr" (1932) here, especially the coffin window and the work with the black and white photography, if you liked the atmosphere of this video, run and watch this masterpiece, the most poetic and gothic vampire film ever, in my opinion. Thanks to Alt-j for their deep music, it feels so good to see that this kind of video can have more than 3 million views!
They were originally named “Films” no?
Es de los videos más hermosos,la historia, la canción genial, los actores me encantaron, la locación, todooooo.... la participación de Ellie Rowsell padrísima.
That's why Alt-J still being the best group of the century
diego bonilla don't you think it's a little early to say that?
diego bonilla you misspelt Radiohead
ZIUTEKx2 I dunno man, I loved a moon shaped pool, thought it was a pretty flawless album tbh. opinions differ though I guess!
James Bailey Ah yeah but 'A Moon Shaped Pool' isn't a patch on Radiohead's other stuff
diego bonilla I love Radiohead and Alt-j , but in my Opinion , Radiohead is THE BEST. but still Alt-j is Awesome 👍
i just want to love you in my own language...
mem c I love this part of the lyrics :)
Just be sure your intentions come across as your way of showing love....don't allow your language to be misinterpretted. Personally I'd rather my person know that I love them, there should be no doubt in their mind I'm always acting in the loving intentions of my heart regardless who the person is. Why cant we all just love each other? I see the snakes in peoples eyes dance....when they see their opportunity to strike. Everybody strives for something, but if we put our selfish reptilian wants aside and did selfless acts of kindness in our every single interaction, we all could prosper....thrive....not just struggle trying to survive....society, government, childhood programming the old system wont work anymore. For snakes, people dont shed their skin so well I'm tired of the cobwebs from all the lies the spinners spun. It's the rise of a new sun, a new day. We gotta go in with a fresh approach leaving everything we once knew behind. Not forgetting but moving forward in stride with our purpose. When these people gonna rise with me? When's this crowd gonna stand with me like a forest's of redwoods? They're letting Gaia's forests burn and for what? We ain't gonna be silent. The truth bombs will rain justice on the unrighteous
Can you please explain to me what is this line means at the context of the song? I’m not an English speaking person and I’m afraid that I can’t get it not because of metaphor but because of bad language knowing and bad understanding of the whole lyrics of the song
@@sibkhan2364 Hi! I think "i just want to love you in my own language" conveys wanting to love someone in a way that makes sense and feels meaningful to you. Loving someone in a way that is private, personal, and full of feeling. Rather than referring to a language such as English, Farsi, or Spanish, it refers to the language of one's heart. Loving someone in your own language means loving them in the purest way possible, without an ounce of contrivance or deception. Its the language that comes straight out of your heart, with no filter of shame, fear, or cynicism. I hope this helps, and I appreciate the question!
mem c thank you!
I like the sounds of laughter and puddle splashes in mix at the end of the song. sounds like two love birds in the rain
i can feel the disappointed , love in this song. For me this is their best song yet!
Can't wait until people start over analyzing this video. It's always interesting to hear how it's interpreted!
Sydney Felmet still waiting haha
It's about a book called Pedro páramo a mexican author
Pretty sure artsy videos are artsy for the purpose of being analized, and in that case it's not OVERanalizing at all :)
So, you wrote this?
Can't wait for the analysation of the interpretations of this video to be analysed. But I am afraid the analysation of the analysation of the interpretations of this video will be interpreted too. Better should have kept it to myself then..
Alt-J being Alt-J
Alt-J being Sebastião Salgado "Other Americas"
I immediately recognised Ellie’s voice as the female vocalist.Everything ends up sounding so angelic when she’s on it .
Yeees!! Her voice is unique!
So beautiful. I'm crying every time I watch this.
alt-J music is like a garden of silence where everything is trance•fixed, only the light moves.
the video reminded me of the arcade fire afterlife video, i thought i'll never find a similar type to it again...but here I am!
Medamine Turki OMG the same. Afterlife is so important to me and this remind me so much of it.
OH MY GOD that's what i thought as well!!
Medamine Turki Yees! Me too
YES. IT REMINDED THAT VIDEO TOO
H5!!!
Check also another video from afterlife director Emily Kai Bock - majical cloudz - childhood’s end. (Actually check all of her videos, for example grizzly bear -yet again
Acabo de descubriros!! Fantástico vídeo. Esta tarde os he escuchado en Radio 3 en España y me ha fascinado vuestro sonido. Me ha impresionado también vuestro vídeo. Muy cuidado, muy fotográfico.
This is just Beautiful..art at its finest
what i like about alt-j, is that their music videos seem to be drafted like having contemplated about how a movie to which their music would fit to would look like, unlike other bands who just portray themselves.
If you just want to listen to the song, the music starts at 1:29 and the singing starts at 3:08. However, you should watch the whole video if you can, because it explains the song and it's really well made. 😊
Damn.. at the beginning I didn't really see how the setting of the video and the mood of the song could be combined into one, but at the end I was amazed. It fits pefectly together once you know the whole story. Just like the entirety of "This is All Yours"
bawsy move What's the story though? I don't get it... :'(
From what I've seen I think it's about a traditional ceremony in a small village somewhere in South America where a girl and a boy fall in love and then she dies while giving birth or something. So the guy has to transport her cascet to a kind of a burial and he has some obstacles on the way. They are finally together in the afterlife. Something like that xD
bawsy move... Yes... So beautiful
Mike Pap it's Mexico, North America
That allusion to Verona.. What a beautiful reference to Romeo and Juliet!
No. is inspired in Juan Rulfo's Pedro Páramo novel.
Prove it, @Frncsc.
The "rubbing hands of tourists in Verona" are those on the breasts of Juliet's statue in Verona. Now, we know alt-J are influenced by literature and films, so there can be more influences on this song. But the myth of Romeo and Juliet is definitely beyond the lines of the song.
Angelo Damiani yeah rubbing the chest of a statue of a 13 year old girl
Eazy gangsta e
STOKED
Evan Edinger OMG EVAN YOU LIKE ALT J
Evan Edinger haha hey evan, cool video innit?
Oh
Yes
Hey There mmm what about I report you for spam??
