      Kim Xiuminnie I never understood their logic in coming up here. The economy is shit. People might want to live in the void of delusion, but it's shit, we never left the recession once, we've been in it ever since 2007.

    • @katlove5481
      @katlove5481 9 років тому +2

      I AGREE!!! Although I really enjoy Target they have become extremely overprices. It's still so much better in my mind than going to Wal-Mart. But really, most of their prices are astronomical! Even items on sale sometimes. I generally stick to clearance items now.

    I noticed this got a few downvotes. What kind of unhappy, negative person would downvote this? These employees weren't angry or bitter; just sad at the closing of their store and it was a sweet, sad, poignant video, rolling through the empty store and hearing the sound of stuff being broken down or loaded to be taken away in the background. Well-done and I hope these guys all land on their feet!

  • @fredvanolphen3532
    @fredvanolphen3532 9 років тому +2

    Great work for no rehearsal. And no mistakes! This song is more apropos than ever since we are at the end of more than just a bar closing, a Target or a Wal-Mart closing, a nation ending, or the close of an era. IT IS CLOSING TIME. And "I know who I want to take me home". "Every now beginning comes from some other beginning's end."
    I would be that Target Closings are related to movement and storing of military supplies and martial law preps like the jUS Wal-Marts. Watch and record these stores for night time traffic!!!

    That is AMAZING! And much better than the original recording, and the original video. Liam McDonald has a great voice, and the idea of the slow trip through a huge and nearly empty store is brilliant. The long take is always an arresting visual style.

    Closing time. Shut down all the Targets and kick these guys out onto the street.
    Closing time. Tens of thousands of people are now facing unemployment.
    Closing time. One last call for new hires so finish your applications.
    Closing time. You don't have to go home but you can't work here.
    Don't know how I'm gonna pay my bills.
    Don't know how I'm gonna pay my bills.
    Don't know how I'm gonna pay my bills.
    Pay my bills.
    Closing time. Every new employment starts from some other employment's end.

    I worked for Target for years and I really enjoyed working there. Every so often I think about going back to work weekends or holidays, despite the fact that I have a full time job with a salary... The store that I worked at during high school in my hometown shut down despite efforts to save it. I can't imagine having been there when the whole place got packed up.

      @donnh8004 9 років тому

      I went to a Target store in Vancouver Washington and there was no comparison with the ones we had in Victoria. Way better selection and better pricing. They must have thought we were sheep for the fleecing.
