Your video is perfect!!! It sytnthesized the meanng of the song, and it's one of their best songs ever....that smashing effect at The end with guitar that runs to the final impact with the piano to mean the crash of JD car is a great genius work of Bernard Butler, one of the most underrated musicians of his Generation.
Whiplash caught the silver son Took the film to No. I Crashed the car and left us here Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid Crashed the car and left us here. And daddy burned a million eyes Dared the dogs to criticise He crashed the car and I was born And daddy turned a million heads Took the teenage dream to bed He crashed the car and left us here With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes Green fields of destiny high in the sky But oh can you see him? Oh Daddy's speeding Whiplash caught the silver son Killed the sad American Crashed the car and left us here And sorrow turns his eyes to mine Come with me now it's your time Let's crash the car and I'll be born And sorrow breaks the silent day Takes the teenage boys away They crash the cars and leave us here With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes Green fields and death machines high in the sky But oh can you see him? Oh, when Daddy's speeding
Beatles? I was thinking Bowie with a soupcon of Pink Floyd. The Lincoln you see is a reference to "Rebel Without A Cause", even though he drove a Mercury in the film (they both shared the same body, albeit with a different front end and wheelbase).

My favorite suede song🥹
beautiful
Whiplash caught the silver son
Took the film to No. I
Crashed the car and left us here
Broken glass for teenage boys trapped in steel and celluloid
Crashed the car and left us here.
And daddy burned a million eyes
Dared the dogs to criticise
He crashed the car and I was born
And daddy turned a million heads
Took the teenage dream to bed
He crashed the car and left us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields of destiny high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh Daddy's speeding
Whiplash caught the silver son
Killed the sad American
Crashed the car and left us here
And sorrow turns his eyes to mine
Come with me now it's your time
Let's crash the car and I'll be born
And sorrow breaks the silent day
Takes the teenage boys away
They crash the cars and leave us here
With dreams of gasoline drying our eyes
Green fields and death machines high in the sky
But oh can you see him?
Oh, when Daddy's speeding
i can't help thinkin "beatles"-bit o lucy in the melody,and the lyrix could be "looked" at difrently
Jimmy died on September 30, 1955, not in '56.
Otherwise a great tribute video....
total beatles-pid-i still member old dayz w/phonie
What movie did you borrow the footage from?
Beatles? I was thinking Bowie with a soupcon of Pink Floyd. The Lincoln you see is a reference to "Rebel Without A Cause", even though he drove a Mercury in the film (they both shared the same body, albeit with a different front end and wheelbase).
The ending of this song definitely sounds as though it could fit in on The Wall by Pink Floyd.
Good tribute, but I think the song had more to do with Am.Sulph than James Dean!
