    This song and video is incredible. Lee Miller's runway walk in her army uniform, as she was a fashion model before a military photographer. Anne Boleyn, the mother of the church of England before the stained glass and her prayer dance. Sylvia Plaith gripping her head as she struggled with her mental health and committed suicide at 30, her works recognized post-death (mostly) because of her very crappy husband, who even burned many of her poems. Amazing work to everyone involved!

This turned into 'Deadcrush', which is a word we made up to describe someone who is no longer alive that you fancy. Thus the first verse is about Lee Miller, Joe's deadcrush, the second about Anne Boleyn, Gus's."- alt-J

It's so relaxed and laid-back, but something about it perfectly catches that yearning feeling, like bittersweet sadness.

    Extraordinarily pretty teeth
    Beauty lingers out of reach
    You're my DC oh Lee, oh
    Man Ray went cray cray over you
    Capturing but never captured
    You're my DC oh Lee, oh
    Swim low
    In a backyard in the night

    Put it there, get the money
    In the back of a Volvo car

    Anna Bolina
    Maid of honour
    Not your sister, fearful temper
    You're my DC oh Anna, oh
    Unknown artist
    Took your likeness
    Henry Tudor left you lifeless
    You're my DC oh Anna, oh
    Keepa, keepa, keepa, keep me damn down
    Let it low
    Let me know where you go
    Papa, papa, papa
    Get me down
    Deep deep down
    Pablo let me know
    If you don't have the ace of hearts
    My dear, you're a lost man
    Falcon for you Anna from the left arm of the falconer
    Anna, Anna, Anna, Anna L'Arlésienne
    Swim low
    In the backyard in the night

    Each glass plate that is circling represents each dancer in the video. They are from different timeline: past(the fancy dress woman), present (the solider) and future (the one with tights). As the light goes through those glasses, they start to project these dancers. Though they are from the different timeline, they exist on the same dance floor, dancing altogether. The time doesn't exist, and we are just projections of light through prisms, dancing altogether.

      I think that's happening in the video is that the original dancing women are "blanks", which get generated by the computer which spins the discs (lenses?) at the start. Then one by one they are transformed into the three women you list.

  • @MakingtheCase
    @MakingtheCase 3 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    After watching this for the thousandth time, I think I finally understand what the music video is. It's taking these clear disks, which contain the entire essence of each individual and something is documenting them spinning in a kind of projected dance of life until the moment they fall. An entire lifetime for each one of them encompassed in what would only amount to a single spin of the disc in the timeline of the universe. Some stay spinning (or stay alive) longer and some fall faster. Some choose to devote themselves to their faith, their honor, their passion, etc but they all get only one chance to perform.
    Or at least that's what I now make of this.

      Anne Boleyn was an interesting person, but how do you think she ties in?
      I think you could be right about it being a higher dimension. But here's the thing. There doesn't really seem to be anything much beyond that building. It's pretty barren. The excitement is focused on the disc, or life itself. Life is the point. Life is the reason and the purpose for its existance. The dance, the struggle, the musing, the creating, and then destroying.

    Good analysis comments in this thread, from song lyrics that don’t make sense on first listen. One thing I noticed was in the video, the skin color leotard dancers represent embalmed corpses. I noticed the shiny faces, covered in Vaseline, a common practice in morgues. Then we see the “deadcrushes” flashing in and out in their outfits they wore in life. Meaning they are brought back to life when we remember them

    I fall in love with alt-J songs/albums in four stages:
    1 listening to the music alone
    2 reading and understanding the lyrics
    3 when the music videos get released
    4 seeing them live.
    They kill me more and more every time, thank you

    Just got my tickets for April 8th. My birthday gift to myself. Can't wait. Taking my 17 year old son too. I think it's great that my teenage son will go to a show with his old mother!
