    people commenting on how bad this video is..: this video was ahead of its time, and still must be to some degree if people aren't seeing how amazing this video truly is... the sequencing and patterns of the clips that are being datamoshed are brilliant and very intricate. the corruptions could look a lot messier, but it's well planned. one of my favorite videos.

    This music video is the peak of what it means to be an indie artist. The song is ingenious and not like anything else out there, and the video is also very well produced, mixing really beautiful sceneries, accentuating Caroline's beauty, at the same time containing dark undertones

      @@Y0utubeIsFuckingHomo 💯.. I dig the solo stuff, but Chairlift was better. But hey, I was a young thing listening to Chairlift, and they were brilliant and timely, and what Caroline is doing now is as well, and I get that people are going to have a bias largely geared towards what they experience in their youth. For me, this song is the pinnacle, and this video is an absolutely masterpiece, but then this song and video were part of many intimate and beautiful experiences I had as an early/mid 20 something.
      I can get people not appreciating it as much as I do, but what I can’t abide is people saying the video is bad… Kids need to eat more psychedelics, and less benzos, or whatever misleading them to thinking this is bad. Put a tab under your tongue and watch it again, there’s no way they’re going to still think it’s bad art…

    What's cool about this video for me (as someone who's been into music videos for many years) is that if I'd been watching it on TV -- like most of my experiences with music videos had been until about the mid-2000s -- it wouldn't have had the same effect.
    The visuals took on meaning for me because I was watching the video on UA-cam and have had my fair share of buffering and streaming issues over the years. Like, I knew they were intentional, but I was always asking in the back of my mind, "what if it's a glitch?" I don't know for sure that that's what the directors were going for, but if it was, then that was pretty forward-thinking of them! Basically the internet version of burnt and corrupted film effects lol

    • @nikolademitri731
      @nikolademitri731 Рік тому

      I’d say all the above, but also the trailing, bleeding, colorful kind of effects your vision is subjected to when you’re tripping. I always felt like it was simultaneously referencing psychedelics and those kinds of glitching digital effects, but the exact artistic intentions I’m not sure.

      I don't think that many artists are sitting there thinking of some sort of deep symbolic meaning every time they're doing any particular thing. Sometimes it's just about the aesthetics, and that's fine and good.

      sort of... but less blurry you know more focused images. I guess it depends on the dose too . I had friends who just saw"cool" distortions so I guess it depends on the person ME and another friend who've been studying the mind and the occult we actually saw out of this world shit and perceptions I can't explain LIKE telepathy.. I use to draw on a sketch pad app on my phone which has a option to draw symmetrical things so I discovered slot of patterns on acid. some of the ancient figures like every angle of the 5'6'8'10'12 pointed STARS. the meaning of the 12 on the clock and how it relates to. "time" And the location of Saturn and how Rolex uses those sacred patterns to create their watches. if you go on Rolex.com you're gonna see all their stuff is based on metrology numerology. the 12 on the clock wasn't a 12 before it was something different which the Romans used which is why watches have the old version. sounds crazy? yup not everyone's cup of tea lol but oh well psychedelics are. "fun" to some and a teacher to the rest of us. like tupac said once you can see the rules of the game it becomes a game you can play and only then will you make it .
