You're worth it to live a life the way you want it. And it great and hard that you've got the time to find that life out right now. You're doing great!
As an alcoholic,who has been there, been through 2 wives,lost the love of people I loved, lost jobs, and damn near killed myself through accidents and on purpose, this really hits home. Although I have not had a drink in 18 years now I still know how easy it is to lose everything. It's always good to have a reminder of " The good old days.☠️😭" Just the thought scares me. Thanks for posting.
Good for you, Mark Little! Your words are wise and you have inner strength. May you inspire others who are still fighting. Best wishes for the New Year.
Thank you so much Tina Turtle💖. I wish you all the best as well and may 2021 be kind to you. My joy is never having to apologise for something I said or did that I had no memory of. Life is great!
Oh no! Yes I am a senior but I know that if I were to have one drink anything could happen. I cannot take that chance. I don't begrudge others who choose to drink, I believe every adult is usually able to make a decision of their own. For me it's to never have another drink. We have a singer in Canada who has a great hit song back in the day called" Go for a Soda" His name is Kim Mitchell. Hey,I know that you mean well.👌
Sober for 3 years, 9 days. This song was there with me during the best of times and the worst of times, and it fills my heart with so much joy reading these comments about how it also helped so many of you. If i could hug you all i would lol
i love the look on the actors face at the end, when he's finally human. that humiliated, broken feeling, but a free, vulnerable, open feeling of surrender. #fuckyeah #recovery
This song will always remind me of a low point of my life: depression. About a year ago I was very close to suicide but something about this video and music moved me to give life another shot.
@@Dan-cx9nb I'm pulling for you, Dan. Just keep going. I lost a friend named Dan to suicide just after high school. Please, don't be another Dan that is missed from this world. One is too many and I guarantee you'd be missed
I'm a survivor of suicide loss. My wife took her life last year and it's destroyed our family. I'm so glad that watching this gave you hope. I honestly cry every time I watch it. I really hope you're doing well. I've been there and trust me, even if you think no one will miss you I PROMISE, there are people that will be destroyed because you're not around.
This reminds me of my goodbye letter I wrote to alcohol when I put myself in rehab. I’m Apache and titled my poem Trail of Beers detailing my life and struggle with booze and now I’m coming up on 8 yrs sober and haven’t looked back. So to those who are struggling, in recovery or even thinking about giving alcohol up I SUPPORT YOU!!!
This 4 minute 29 seconds video is better than all the combined public service announcements on alcoholism ever created. Wow.... this should be shown to all adolescents in schools.... a powerful message coupled with sublime music.
I didn't realise how powerful this video was until my mum died 2 years ago. I started heavy drinking everyday but the memory of this video and the tune of this song niggled. I wised up last year. Not off drink but no longer a muppet. Thank you Ryoksopp ❤
This really hurts to watch . Over going more then two weeks sober, and have just have so many painful memories after living through these past ten plus years . Grateful to be alive .
This song makes me think of my ex, who had a drinking problem. He tried to quit on several occasions. Never could. He landed in jail a few times, lost jobs, lost friends and eventually his marriage and maybe even why he took his own life. R.I.P., Joe, I hope you are at peace now.
I’m a recovering alcoholic and this happened to come up on my suggested videos today. I love this- brutal, sad, and honest. I saw the puppet as myself when I was actively drinking. I felt emotionally connected throughout the entire clip. I do believe that this didn’t come across my feed by chance. Excellent video.
FINALIST ? REALLY ? ! This video is way better than the one that won. Conceptually this guy (Muppet) clearly has a drinking problem, even his girl wants him to get help (the card). This video is so convincing, hell, I wanted to help the poor little blue Muppet. Towards the end, when he starts to get the shakes, my eyes began to water. Then when he turns the card over and reads, "please get help", I started to cry. It showed me that even with his problem, his girl really cares about him. :'(
+Jeff Chacon Couldn't agree more. I started the video expecting to not feel much at all. I just like the song and wanted to see what a music video for it would look like. Holy hell man, I wasn't prepared for what I saw. Loved it. I want to watch it again but I don't know if I even can.
Ok people , it's just a cute fuzzy blue muppet ... but I think this music video would make quite an impact and should be the opening act to all AA meetings !
This video is and song together are making me consider quitting alcohol. Thanx for making this, It is a great and beautiful way to speak for people struggling with alcohol addiction. Peace
My partner stopped and has finally been able to deal with all their problems as a result, they are so much more comfortable in their own skin. Happier? Sometimes, at least they can feel things now, they are more resilient all the time though. I have a beer a week maybe, but it's different for everyone. Some people kill themselves with food, others with work. What's your sobriety look like, AA is a stepping stone, but some people even get addicted to that (of course there are much worse addictions). My Mother's sobriety includes zoloft, a friend's sobriety includes grass, another friend is more addicted than anyone and is straight-edge. We all need to care about each other a bit more. We all need healthier relationships with everything.
My best friend showed me this when he was clean for several years. I just remembered about this video. He relapsed and didn't wake up. RIP George 3/20/20
- probably have already cmnted this, but i can't stress enough how this video changed my life when i was at my lowest point. it gave me perspective. it reminded me of being a child begging for my parents not to drink. it reminded me i became what i hated. it reminded me that giving up was silly, even the worst situations can lead to victory; take the help that is being given to you, even if only you are the one reaching out. you are important enough to listen to yourself.
Okay, I promise I will put new methods into place to avoid and effectively manage my triggers. I will also place measures around my diet to ensure my body doesn't slump in the recovery period.
This track is sooo amazing!! very peaceful and chill, but if you listen and watch the video it brings in a lot of sadness and changes the vibe of the entire track.... one of very few videos that ive seen that has this type of power.
Dam such a good song, and so sad, it moves you, makes you think even if you arent an alcoholic we all have some adiction that got us to the point of losing something important.
Perfectly interpreted my good man. I didn't want to be too over-the-top with the 'being a puppet to alcoholism' symbolism - but it seems that most people are reading it loud and clear.
Emotional...touching...real. Thank you Röyksopp for the music and thank you Jpixx Films for making this video. Its fits together perfectly! Thank you so much! I really love it.
Well done, powerful message and a wonderful presentation. Just for today! 4 years and 7 months of quality sobriety today, and i'm in my 3rd trip. Cunning, baffling and powerful got hold of me and convinced me i could drink like a normal human being, and i very nearly didn't make it back. Blessed it be.
Thanks, Cory Evans was the main puppeteer on this one. I was lucky to have someone who actually had 'puppet experience'.. it really made a BIG difference.
Wow! Amazing! I never saw this.... Royksopp is one of the best in the world. Under appreciated. Huge FAN! Great for testing out audio equipment. See you in Oslo Royksopp, we're coming!
They should use this video as educational content agains alcohol abuse!!! Very sad this video not be the winner of the contest… it has more views than winner..
Great message, everyone deserve a chance. Lucky, l've never been down that path, but dark clouds have hung over me, it's nice to see the blue skies and sun shine again. Life is worth living.
And it IS too short brother. I've been in depression for like 3 years(not doing alcohol tho) and there is no better feeling of "getting up" and continue experience the life that is given to us. Hope I found you in good health.
Acadripine hope everything keeps getting better for you guys!!! I have been a drug user and alcohol abuser and dealt w depression also. Just wanted to wish you all luck and the best ! things always get better!!!
I was an alcoholic for only 2 months. But I mean, drinking everyday, puking blood, not eating, beig depressed, maybe some people thinks alcoholics are stupid, but it is a big deal and it seriously destroys your relationships.
Ya casi acaba el 2016 y sigo sin entender como este vídeo del come galletas no gano el concurso .. Tan melancólico como la Canción .... Saludos desde México
Kevin Tu hey, keep going! Every hour you make choices. Reinforce the good ones. Know that people love and care about you and you can do this!! Good luck!
I don't understand how this one didn't win. I'm an alcoholic, and sadly my journey has peaked many a time when I've thought I was at rock bottom. However, my point is, that this hits home to any of us who know how it feels. The winning video didn't do that. Love Royksopp. Xx
Whenever I feel like my struggles in life are bringing me to go back to drinking I watch and listen to this. It reminds me times where I took consciousness of this problem and this song and video actually made me feel better. It is like it has captured the exact feeling of alcoholism, without a word, and somehow gives hope. It is like being understood somehow. As said in other comment, it is something very peculiar that this song seems to have that power of empathy, while it is not actually a "song".
I am just now seeing this in it's entirety. I was doing a search of my name on TH-cam for one of my live call in shows and this came up. I am glad to see it is out there showing people there are options to get help. You did an amazing job with this. I couldn't see how effective it would be when you were filming us and how you tied all the scenes in was amazing. May GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 ABUNDANTLY. Judy Sharlow.
I've shown this video to my friends and they don't really like it. Mainly because it reminds them of me at a time when I wasn't doing too well. I love this music video and the music.
Stumbled upon this, 9 year old post. That would have been 2011, maybe 7 years into my decline and I thank God for saving me from that, through the various routes of struggle, from the rooms, therapy, Allen Carr , r/stop drinking, SMART,unknown prayers and the constant love of my wife. I too prayer for those fallen, especially those still struggling. Merry CHRISTMAS and IWNDWYT.
By far one of the most profound emotionally impactful videos I have seen. As I can relate to both sides of the story being told here. This video has touched me in a way few ever have.
Do not let one of the worlds worst drug take over your life it did with me for 23 yrs then eventually i understood its not my friend after all,or it will be too late it will wreck your life in different ways
This is an amazing reflection best identified by someone who is so madly addicted to alcohol and the insanity that follows or a recovering addict who is sobering up. It was wise to read the comments to know that he finally understood that he wants help in the end...and stops being a puppet...yes I have been there and done it! Alcohol not only destroys the person who consumes but everything that surrounds him, the losses are enormous. Social stigma gets justifiable after you quit and understand the magnitude of damages you have done. Not all are blessed to digest this magical liquid, who has the power to leave you all alone and depressed. Beautifully conceptualized, very lyrical without the lyrics...the music, the imagination, the message is so profound...thank you. Love from India.
Exactly achillis, the goal of this film was to try and convey emotion through setting and reactions of the actors (b/c you're right, the expression on the puppet does not actually change)
Update: 5 years, 8 months, 4 Days Clean (24-05/23)

By far one of the most profound emotionally impactful videos I have seen. As I can relate to both sides of the story being told here. This video has touched me in a way few ever have.
Do not let one of the worlds worst drug take over your life it did with me for 23 yrs then eventually i understood its not my friend after all,or it will be too late it will wreck your life in different ways
This song is amazing and the video, representing the monster one becomes when they're a slave to substances.
Pure perfection.
beatiful and sad ;(
This is an amazing reflection best identified by someone who is so madly addicted to alcohol and the insanity that follows or a recovering addict who is sobering up. It was wise to read the comments to know that he finally understood that he wants help in the end...and stops being a puppet...yes I have been there and done it! Alcohol not only destroys the person who consumes but everything that surrounds him, the losses are enormous. Social stigma gets justifiable after you quit and understand the magnitude of damages you have done. Not all are blessed to digest this magical liquid, who has the power to leave you all alone and depressed. Beautifully conceptualized, very lyrical without the lyrics...the music, the imagination, the message is so profound...thank you. Love from India.
just got 6 months. never felt better. this video is a terrible reminder of what my life used to be like. stay strong fellow alcoholics
Beautiful
Wow just wow. Amazing video!
Beautiful. Really.
Exactly achillis, the goal of this film was to try and convey emotion through setting and reactions of the actors (b/c you're right, the expression on the puppet does not actually change)
Well at least he quit smoking.....
Fabulous video and concept, loved it! (December 2020)

Really, really good one, capturing that state of mind and body so precisely in some bizarre way.
I agree with a lot of you, this video should have won.
This song was part of my life during 2021. I never got so depressed in my entire life.
It’s in the past now… thankfully
How did this not get first place? The video & song are amazing! They fit together perfectly!
Thanks Ryan, the song actually inspired the edit - so I'm happy you think they compliment each other so well :)
