I can't believe I went 10 years without knowing about this. What a gem
He is watching everyone try to be something they are not. (Everyone is fake.) He runs away and finds himself to be down to earth. (He finds happiness and comfort in the simplicity of life in love with someone having a child.) He runs back to show everyone he can be just as good as they are. (This is the way the world is. Everyone wants to be someone and wants to appear as if they are special.) He sees what really matters at the end of the video. Not to mention the judges, which are really just everyone around us judging us on a daily basis.
It doesn't matter who we are or what we want to be. He realized true happiness was something greater than being selfish. At least that's what I'm getting...
thank you
So what do you make of the very last bit then?
@@davidvanbakergem1674 that was 7 year ago lmaooo
Yeah. What HE said.😜
@@davidvanbakergem1674 I would say he was torn because he became confident and found himself later in life. He looks at his kid and realizes he is getting older. He missed out and didn't live the life he wanted before he became a father so he sacrificed his family for the experience.
Went to high school with the drummer. Had agonizing crush on him for three years of my life.
I remember seeing this music video for the first time on MTV as a preteen I fell in love with the sound instantly but haven’t heard it in literally a decade and recently found it again i was searching and only knew the piano keys in the beginning 😭 this song is sucha masterpiece
basically, what this means is that he was doubting himself and his abilities because of other people telling him he couldn't be good enough and could never attain his dreams. they're wrong though, but he can't accept that and that's what stops him from making his dreams come true. so he runs off and he marries and has a child but it's that child that makes him remember his dreams again and he tries to go and get his dreams but it's too late; he can't have his dream without crushing another of his.
that explanation reminded me of "Animal" by Miike Snow
i just listened to the song and the meaning reminds of that song, too.
You really need to get a hobby
@@mattforman4972 To write is a hobby
This just sounds like something from Inception. So it was basically a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream
The meaning of the video was pretty straightforward to me. The fact that his dream family faded away in the end clearly highlighted a final point. That by copying the dancers before him to make the judges happy, he sacrificed his own personal happiness. The larger meaning is that it's perfectly fine to be original and not always listen to what society tells us to do. He says 'The more I listen, the deeper I sink'. Deep stuff.
Can we be friends?😊
Please tell me if you do, after ten years
Did you study Art or Philosophie?
My exceptional taste in good music brought me here
Lol please don't tell me you're actually that pretentious
Just tired of motherfuckers saying what brought who where. Just my taste for music brought me heree, You see?
Your taste in good music? Based on your favorites list I think most of us would beg to differ. Here is just a small sample of your favorite list that absolutely SUCKS: Getto Boys, Beyonce, Slim Thug, Ice Cube..... I can go on and on about how much your favorites list SUCKS. Your taste in music is pretty bad.
That was a pretty funny comment... Don't know why tf people climbed on their high horses for...
Fact is, reading those "Who else came there because of / before x film / series / ad" is annoying af u.u'...
And butthurt man who thinks because he doesn't love something other people liking them have bad taste... Please, get over yourself (:
u have aids
the best songs are the hardest to get. I spent all week searching for this song until now and im loving every second of the song. For instance the beat, the dancing and i dunno about him leaving his mini family, but love the song
Any suggestions of similar songs in feel and tune or each individually?
I have 3+ years trying to find this song.
My life is now complete.
I actually really love this music video. It's brilliant and really confusing.
love this song
2022 and still a masterpiece…
I love this video...idk why I never heard of this song before that Leon Sandcastle commercial...this video was great...its rare that you find videos like this nowadays
Look at how nervous he is before going on stage at the beginning of the video. I think the video was about him conquering his stage fright, but when he ran away he stayed so long he started a family. Then remembered why he ran and went back and killed it on stage. He doesn't look so happy with his choices at the end, which goes with the lyrics. IMHO
This explanation is brilliant. Sounds accurate !
Khadidiatou Cissé this song and video are both amazing. i have heard it in a french movie today and i have reseacherd it. since i have found it i can't stop listening the song again and again.
fléo enigmatik Hahah I know right ?! Same here :D
fléo enigmatik est-ce que le film c'était papa ou maman ? parce que j'ai cherché cette chanson à cause de ce film, c'est le générique de fin x)
I found it in the french movie as well, pappa or mamma
They call me a little wound-up
See, I'm upset because I've always been stuck
But I don't know what it is I'm without
Guess I'm in love with always feeling down
It was fully consumed
By all of the petty things that I couldn't do
All of the plastic all are surely worn
But I didn't ever show, I let it go
So I listen while I'm told
Sit back, don't think
Get high, take drink
Sit back, don't think
The more I listen, the deeper I sink and
Ooh, I go higher
And I say, ooh, a-ooh, I go higher
This head that I hold, oh, it's so tired
And I say, oh, no, I go higher
And I say, ooh,
What's it gon', what's it gonna be
Make me say, ooh,
What's it gon', what's it gonna be
I'm feelin' so cold,
What they want, what they want from me
Make me say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (they want, they gonna be)
So find me stuck in the scene
I wanna get out but there's no in-between
So I sit back as I watch the crowd go
Never assuming that I've sunken so low
If I wanna be free
I gotta stop playin' round and runnin' from me
'Cause all of the plastic all are surely worn
They got my head feelin' low, no one to throw
So I listen while I'm told
Sit back, don't think
Get high, take drink
Don't feel, just go
If you listen carefully, then you won't feel so low
Sit back, don't think
The more I listen, the deeper I sink and
Ooh, I go higher
And I say, ooh, a-ooh, I go higher
This head that I hold, no, it's so tired
And I say, oh, no, I go higher
And I say, ooh,
What's it gon', what's it gonna be,
Make me say, ooh,
What's it gon', what's it gonna be
I'm feelin' so cold,
What they want, what they want from me
Make me say ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (they want, they gonna be)
I'm sinking, ooh, I go higher
And I say, ooh, a-ooh, I go higher
Get no sleep, meet the vampire
And I say, ooh, no, I go higher
And I say, ooh, I go higher
And I say, ooh, a-ooh, I go higher
This head that I hold, no, it's so tired
And I say, ooh, no, I go higher
Shazam. What an app.
I looked for this song for four years! it took four years.
so he got cold feet and it took him to start a family to get over it. lol okay
I usually listen to classic rock and Hard Metal rock but for some reason im obsessed with all the Electric Guest albums!
I came expecting to find a mainstream hipster-esque music video but left confused and slightly afraid
Cheeky Doodad afraid? 😂
Really?
Good
Maybe that's the point 😉
4:21 "Oh crap I have to pay child support."
Jesus it took me all day to find this song. It was in my head all of a sudden. I loved it years ago. Glad I remembered his brother is in lonely island.
Glad people have started finding Electric Guest! Hopefully this means a new album might come out!
That was unexpected and incredible.
Such an upbeat song! Great music
I didn't even realize it was on that commercial. AWESOME!
Great song. You can't be miserable listening to this.
at first it is a casual video and then it makes you want to say "what the fuck"
Thanks Spotify
heard this on a garneir commercial (at least here in portugal)! I knew that this group was going to get popular for the past year and a half! Just waiting for them to explode
I think this is one of the best songs ive listened to.
Thanks to Ikea for bringing me here. How was this not a hit when originally released?
I am addicted for this song!
I love it when he just runs out......soo brave
what i got from this was, that he does what society expects of him and through doing this, he loses the things that he really thinks will make him happy. any other interpretations?
Ikea brought me here! Coooool Track!
Lmao same here XD
Iqra Faisal ,XD
It's a guy...! Wicked track!x
Me to haha
ill second that
That is exactly how I feel lately. Thank you for this song and so honest video. I really appreciate what you guys are doing.
I've been trying to find this song for more than 3 years finally found it
You'd better thank IKEA! Man, this song is the ish. However, I had this preconceived notion that the singer was a black female. Surprised but impressed nonetheless.
Ikea brought me here too! Great song ;-)
IKEA brought me here as well! Haha
I haven't laughed at a music video like that in my entire life.
I Know right, its delightful!
This is like perfect end credits music. I can just see the freezeframes turning a different color while saying the actors name.
I know right
I haven't got tire of this song.
What the what?! *currently going through the comments for a decent explanation...*
the video is an obvious criticism on society just listen to the lyrics
TIMELESS CLASSIC
Yes, I've noticed that too, and I've been thinking and I just realized that maybe the video is trying to say that things are not always as we think it is or how we see (because there is always a trick behind the dance move... so it can be a metaphor)
I've watched and listened over and over to this song; thankyou for putting it up
the last scene breaks my heart ,i wish he ran back after his performance
Wicked tune and entertaining video, also found it after hearing it on the Ford and Ikea ads.
that's the life it seems like a dream, everything is a dream, just follow your dreams.
You could interpret this video as, your tricks are revealed, you can't hide anything from anyone anymore. That's how I did.
This is such a good song, but since the first time I watched it, the song has been stuck in my head! And can some one please send me the link to this IKEA ad!
This is the song I listen to when I'm down. Never fails to cheer me up ^^
What is this sandrude dastorm called?
And who sings it?
ft. song
haha
Feelrude- Da The Beat
iMaverix overused joke
I'm one of those that came here because of the Ikea advert. I normally hate those people, now I'm one of them. Nevertheless it's a great track and a fab video.
I remember this had only like 300,000 views...glad to come back and see 3 mil!
Everytime this comes on tele i always find myself bopping away haha! So funky!
just what the fuck.
This is the most confusing music video I have ever watched. I love it!
Asa Taccone is so talented, just like his brother. It must run in the family.
Did E-vision bring anybody else here ?
Yep :)
Haha yeah the ad has been stuck in my head for weeks!
Dude left is family and life for our entertainment, but at least he learned from those before him to be better at his passion.
ive been looking for this for years !!! im so happy
Thanks Emma!
the duality of man ever
It's still a class song and video 10 years on :)
this is one of the greatest music videos i've seen
i dont get it somebody's explain for me the vid ?
That moment you realize I ruined this song by saying Old Man Herbert from Family Guy sings this.
And I have been in stiches every time the ikea advert comes on.
Damn you
Now I can't unhear it.
Played this at least 15 times while at work.
GREAT SONG!
Who else came here because the lead singer is the brother of Jorma Taccone(The short guy from The Lonely Island)? No one? Okay.
boi ima here
when I first saw this I didn't read the comments and thought he was Jorma XD
i recently saw JIZZ IN MY PANTS and i was like "hey this guy looks familiar" and then yesterday i remembered this song and i was like "hey this guy looks familiar and he seems interesting" and i thought his name was jorma taccone
Ford EcoSport brought me here!!!
I love their sense of humor.
Absolute masterpiece
What the hell just happened!? That was brilliant.
Thanks Clo!

Wow thanks IKEA for introducing me to the good stuff! You can get the CD from Amazon for £2.99 but this full length vid is way better!

Leon Sandcastle brought me here and I'm happy. Great freakin song.
You run the risk of doubting yourself until you find the right reasons not to.
hes adorable!
fun video! what a fantastic debut!
He would make a great prom partner with those dance moves
It does! I've heard other Beirut songs, but haven't checked out Nantes till now. I hear the similarities though!
this just popped into my head for no reason and it took me 10 minutes racking my brain to remember the lyrics. Fuck yes, found it.
Cant help but dance when I hear this
