ten minutes of silly distractions for those that need it...
the sea is a silver sliver, the moon is near full, and casting shadows bright as day outside. hopeless for sleeping..first. sigur ros. wish i'd made this video..
i know how ridiculously pathetic that sounds, believe me.
it's just it's so dreamily beautifully shot (as with their one with the doll.. they obviously have genius directors of photogaphy in iceland.)
and the story is simple and pure joy to behold... yes folks, they're old, they're rebels and they're having a war... (in the cemetery!!)
enjoy
and watch this! (sorry, couldn't figure out how to link these prop'ly so i just photographed them off the laptop...)
but aren't those jeep shots just killer? the song is also, but it takes a few listens.
it's has this exciting and dangerous bassline that drops in and out of it, and when you're expecting it, it becomes a real release. along with the plaintive repetition of a cry for peace to come; a brilliant and subtly nuanced track from those old gizzards,
depeche mode.
when i was driving home and i had it up real loud, i thought, i could die right now. it would be alright. but that thought scared me, so i slowed down. and changed the song to a more quiet introspective one...
lol.
I love that Depeche Mode vid... I wonder who made it?
