    when I saw this video two years ago, it was the first time I'd ever heard of Crystal Castles.
    I've loved them ever since.

      @@Maria-zf3lo haha wow... musically i find it very nostalgic, and i think some of the tracks are still great. it was really like the first music i got super into. unfortunately tho its hard to enjoy it that much any more given knowing more about what was happening behind the scenes. the first album is still the best imo 🤓

    я услышал эту песню когда ехал в автобусе, зимним вечером. Меня окружали красивейшие пейзажи и метель за окном, но всё равно можно было разглядеть пустынные поля, и дома в которых горит свет... солнце садилось за лесом, оставляя тёмные силуэты

    “If that bum is still sleeping there today, I’m gonna make him sleep forever.”
    “I hope that man comes and helps me out again today. I just want to sleep forever.”
    This video is about manifest destiny and the law of attraction. Both of these ppl got exactly what they wanted. And both were equally sadistic.

    This is amazing. There are so many small elements that make this an amazing video. It's a juxtaposition from the song magicspells, the video isminimalist and violent and the rainy overcast weather evoke a really earthy homely feeling. The poignant body language of both the people is spot on and it reminds me of things that have happened to me in my life. Absolutely great video. This video will never happen again and I think I will watch this and show this to my peers for many years.

      No. Its just experimentalism. There's no meaning in this. It just tries to get your attention so you can receive the advertisement of the release if their album. Basically, its soft snuff, and witch house or whatever genre they make is a soundtrack of that.
