Never heard of this band until today. Honestly, I thought it was going to suck, instead I've been searching out more Baroness songs. Digging the music big time.
@@holocoffin I hope they fired their sound engineer though. Purple and their last sounded atrocious, and not in a good way lol. This isn't a wall of sound, it's a wall of over compressed shit
@@AgentLemmon Oh c'mon. It honestly isn't THAT bad. Through a good sound system, this song and others from the purple album slap. I bump Shock Me into work when I need an extra boost (or a surprise).
The bed looks a lot like the old-style hospital beds - especially the sheets - like the ones they used in England. There's also a wheelchair (John was in a wheelchair after the crash), a bird (John describes the significance of the bird in one of his interviews), nails, honey, purple sheets and of course the women. It's a really interesting music video - it looks like some sort of visual representation of different objects and themes that were important to John during his recovery and after the crash, as well as a homage the album cover for Purple itself. Great video!
In a battle you only brought your shield I picked the nearest blade I found To meet you in the field I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies If not I bent the truth But good fortune never was shining on me The way it shone on you Shock me I needed a surprise Shock me I needed a surprise In a dream, a great calamity To stone my heart and firm resolve And rendered nerves to steel The polestar wheeled about my head Until such time it grew A deep well of despair I found The day my dreams came true Shock me I needed a surprise Shock me I needed a surprise Shock me Shock me I needed a surprise Shock me I needed a surprise Shock me
Star Wars Rogue One, and now this! I can barely contain myself today. Thanks for all the awesome music, and this awesome video! I'll probably watch it the same way I listen to your music, on repeat
I think the girls in this video are supposed to be a real-life representation of the girls on the "Purple" album cover. This video gives the impression that they all suffer from mental illness, and the feathers/honeybees/etc they're adorned with represent bigger-than-life/goddess versions of themselves that they see in their heads. When the illness gets to painful to bear, these are the fantastic alter personas they like to slip into. Just my interpretation.
I bet she's the model John used when he painted the cover art. He's always used real life models for the cover arts, except for the new album "Stone". There he actually used statues from an actually cemetery as his models.
This is a wonderful explanation of the video! I wondered why I was overcome with such a deep sadness when I watched it, and I think it's because I suffer from mental illness as well. Thank you for your interpretation 💜
Well you found them just in time! Cuz the most talented and baddest babe on guitar that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, Gina Gleason, just joined them (and left a sweet gig on the Michael Jackson Cirque show to do so) just over a year ago. They couldn't have found a better fit to replace their last guitar player. And she kills it live! You can tell by how she gets so much into her playing, that she's doing what she was born to do, and livin the dream! If you ever get the chance, if they ever come around your town, do yourself a huge favor and go see them. I promise you will be glad you did.
why censor the nips i mean i understand youtube user agreement yadayada, but they showed the cover of purple which cleary shows nudity why censor the artistic quality of the music video other than that great video compliments the song perfecltly
+larryand corn some people are threatened by things that we, as a society have deemed "inappropriate," the list of blatant and obvious contradictions regarding taste, decency and provocation is far too long to list. Rest assured. we will continue to follow our creative/sonic/visual impulses wherever they lead us, censors be dammed. we've obviously still got a long way to go as a culture before we recognize art and creative freedom as important and sincere forms of self expression. in the meantime, we welcome the criticism and discussion that may arise. instagram, youtube and all the other currently en-vogue social media platforms have a wealth of opportunities every day to push the conservative "norm" towards something less restricted and more artistically pure. . . but im not holding my breath. i'm going to make the art i feel compelled to make. i relish the thought of the day i get into a good informed battle about it.
+Baroness Don't worry though, we can still watch all the war footage we want. As long as there are no nipples in it of course. ;D Beautiful album, beautiful video. Keep up the great work guys!
Yellow And Green is probably my fav album of the last few years, and was originally let down by Purple. Thankfully though it is def starting to grow on me. Still love me some Baroness though, and look forward to all they do!
Just bought the album. Great stuff! My iTunes version seems to have succumbed a bit to the loudness wars issues-some bad clipping on it and overcompression. The uploads on UA-cam don't seem to have that issue, so I think it might just need a new iTunes upload if that can be done.
I Absolutely Love this song (The whole album in fact ) ! This video is so different and Artistic. It seems like you guys brought the Artwork of the album to life! also i am saying this after watching the Making Purple videos wherein in one of the videos you explain the concept behind the Artwork (i think it was Synesthetics) so far the best album i've heard in the past 4 years though i hope you guys release an uncensored version of the video soon maybe on the band's website or something Cheers and Keep it up guys :)
This song (and album) is outstanding. I have to wonder if there are former church goers in the band (or at least they were dragged there by parents) as there seems to be a bit of hymn like influences in the music.
You guys are amazing my favorite track has to be try to disappear and Purple has to be my all time favorite Baroness album and that's really saying something.
Will Purple be like their last album or something? If so, I really hope they change their minds because this stuff is too beautiful to leave behind and I simply need more of this in my life. Recently discovered these guys and I freaking love 'em. One of my favorite bands already. Idk, I think I heard something about that before but it was probably just something else. Dunno, kek.
Ha ah starts as kind of elevated Stranger Things soundtrack....but this takes up to some psychedelic shit......and pumps up with metal.... What a transition beautiful track
I caught these guys at download festival, during a Zippo session where they performed an acoustic session. It made the rest of their stuff sound rubbish in comparison and its pretty good.
Love this song, the woman has an astonishing voice. But WTF is the deal with volcano-puking Yoohoo? And why is she dragging a horse around? Confounding mysteries.
Grammy nominated! Fucking right!
Never heard of this band until today. Honestly, I thought it was going to suck, instead I've been searching out more Baroness songs. Digging the music big time.
do you just search UA-cam expecting everything to suck? that's a horrible way to spend your time
No, I actually was judgemental of the thumbnail. Giving the song a listen though, I ended up loving it, and bought the album on Amazon.
Check out their old stuff: Red and Blue especially. Sooo good!!

In a battle you only brought your shield
I picked the nearest blade I found
To meet you in the field
I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies
If not I bent the truth
But good fortune never was shining on me
The way it shone on you
Shock me
I needed a surprise
Shock me
I needed a surprise
In a dream, a great calamity
To stone my heart and firm resolve
And rendered nerves to steel
The polestar wheeled about my head
Until such time it grew
A deep well of despair I found
The day my dreams came true
Shock me
I needed a surprise
Shock me
I needed a surprise
Shock me
Shock me
I needed a surprise
Shock me
I needed a surprise
Shock me
so this is what it would look like if the album cover comes to life
But the album arts are good.
it's so fucking cool to see the album art more or less live action.
One of the greatest Rock song of all times, so touching and powerful

BurningBeard22 hahahaha you the one that realize it..i think youtube censored those titties
Years later, still great. Love this band. Hope yall are still killing it! Love from Savannah!
Fuck yeah. Saw them at Wacken last week. Still a powerhouse. Love from India.
The solo. The subject matter. The most satisfying chord progression ever. Beautiful song :,)
Best rock song of 2015 hands down. Man that solo tho.
JZA the Jenius simple and powerful
That intro is so dreamy! Love the solo! All I can say is, "Shock me!"
Always.
this is definitely my favourite track from the album cheers !

I immediately recognized the Ashley Rose Couture designs. SO cool.
Bruh how have I only just found this band... they're incredibly good

Heard them play with Isis. Took me a while to come back and delve into their back catalogue. Glad I did.
Still the best album of the past few years. Just incredible.
+David Hodgson thanks!
Whyyyy isn’t this the entrance music for the LA Chargers and ESPECIALLY the Tampa Bay Lightning?!?
This is like an illustration from John come to life. Awesome.

+Baroness Steel Panther videos on UA-cam show boobage and it's not done artistically like in this video. Not complaining though...
Check out Steel Panther's Glory Hole!
+Baroness Don't worry though, we can still watch all the war footage we want. As long as there are no nipples in it of course. ;D
Beautiful album, beautiful video. Keep up the great work guys!
This song is just so huge. The guitar tones are absolutely killer.
your music changed my life, thanks guys
Please don't ever stop making music.
one of the 10 best hard-metal bands in the world this days!i wish you the best guys!!!
I always get goose bumps at the solo
SAME
Every time I listen this, I feel some powerful vibe in my mind and my body!
Yeah man you can tell John has a lot of passion and emotion in his voice.
Those are girls from the cover ! Great video and amazing concert in Poland ! Come back soon !
Yellow And Green is probably my fav album of the last few years, and was originally let down by Purple. Thankfully though it is def starting to grow on me. Still love me some Baroness though, and look forward to all they do!
Love this song, love the album, love the band. One of the best bands of the 21st century, without a doubt.
¡The crescendo in this song is effing amazing!
out of all songs this will always be my favorite!!!
Heard this on XM radio a few weeks back, pretty good track.
Just bought the album. Great stuff!
My iTunes version seems to have succumbed a bit to the loudness wars issues-some bad clipping on it and overcompression. The uploads on UA-cam don't seem to have that issue, so I think it might just need a new iTunes upload if that can be done.
Awesome video! Greetings from your Brazilian fans!!

I want to scream out this song in Rock al Parque, Bogotá... can't wait until then!!! Colombia welcomes you guys. \m/
that was so good for my tears to heard that song live in front of my face.
I own those same bed sheets... that's all I could focus on the whole video.
You missed the glorious mattress then!
TheBearKat when you saw your bed sheets in this music video, you were like, "Shock me! I needed a surprise"
Saw them at Wacken last week. I'm in love with Gina. ❤
When something cool happens, I say “Shock meeeeeeeee”. Usually because I needed a surprise
So fucking underestimated! Baroness music is so powerful! Such creative and amazing unique individuals! Mad love!
Now that kicked ass. Wow.
Very cool video and real anthem going on there!
such a classic sound.
You guys are amazing my favorite track has to be try to disappear and Purple has to be my all time favorite Baroness album and that's really saying something.
Great video to a great song.
Me encanta este tema, por siempre 🙌🤟🏼
grandes y profundos greats from colombia a very dense and cool sound.
Great, lovin' this last record
probably my favorite song I've heard with march to the sea at second place
This music is great.
Found out about this music from the Asuka vs Ember Moon promo WWE NXT
One of the best bands I have heard in these times!
I have absolutely no ideia about the meaning behind this video, but It looks really beautiful.
Masterpiece!
Just love this song!!! So heavy....
Wow, what a brilliant record!!!
Cool song. Really!
Baroness is incredible

TacozofGroose well, megadeth got it
Kings!!!
Best tune I've heard in a long time but I've no idea what the video is about!!
Oh shit, I'm still here and I love you guys.

A year late to the party, but wow this was really good. Going to check out some more tracks for sure.
Awesome.
I need to get this album.

Chuladísima de video
Incredible song. Just drives on and on.
Keeps a great balance of meaty-as-fuck to mournful sounding
Can't turn this up any louder!
MAKE ME FEEL BETTER! No, wait, wrong song.
SHAKMAAA!

@@MarkJohnsonJams 2 years later and I still found this weird haha!
nice!!!!
Wicked, Love them long time lol
Great video, but I can only guess what those things are in her hands at the end (honey & seeds or....)
Ha ah starts as kind of elevated Stranger Things soundtrack....but this takes up to some psychedelic shit......and pumps up with metal.... What a transition beautiful track
So.... the whole F-ing time Purple has been out... there's been a video? Lol, only ever hit the live/soundboard version...
In a battle you only brought your shield
I caught these guys at download festival, during a Zippo session where they performed an acoustic session. It made the rest of their stuff sound rubbish in comparison and its pretty good.
Is there any chance that you guys going to tour the shit out of Europe?
Great song! Whats not to like?
Love this song, the woman has an astonishing voice.
But WTF is the deal with volcano-puking Yoohoo? And why is she dragging a horse around?
Confounding mysteries.
