Some Native American traditions believe that when Death comes you have the chance to dance your last dance and Death has no choice but to watch. The wooden Native American looking into the distance is a tell tale sign of this artistic vision.
I'm completely blown away. Like so when the two girls leave through the kitchen, Death is like "alright cool let's go" and then the kitchen ghost girl is like "nah dude we still have more to show you." This gives me the chills.
@cthulhuhasrisen1009 dance of the dead. I know people practice witchcraft whether they know it or not. The music industry is full of satanist pedofile carols too. Up all night...talking heads. Molesting christ as a baby. I'd be way more afraid of God than SATAN since he can acend and erase whomever he wants off his timeline. Blow up ping points servers and hard drives too. Hows that for fear!? The beginning is the same as the end........BOOOOOOOOM!!!!! Living proof. Cast at him like he's stupid and you will be in a world of hurt.
It looks like they used that filming technique where you choreograph to the song at a faster tempo but then in editing, you slow the footage down to match the actual song tempo which creates this uncanny, lagging effect. It works really well with the video, it feels both frantic and delirious, like how it feels to run in a dream
Fully agree. Do you guys know Niels Frahm - Says? A song that pulls you into space at some moment. It's a phenomenon as well, I think alsp 100m views for a reason.
@@Bearly-Josh it's not a bad feeling perse. It helps dealing with experiences or day to day cycle. I for myself love this feeling and helps me from time to time to sort emotions. No, not an Emo.(:
@@rodthewad666 Love when that happens. Found Lorn a few years ago on what I think was a 'Witchouse' playlist but this was in there too, and I've been obsessed with all his music since. Read some interviews with him but I remember trying to find him speaking on youtube and couldnt find any thing. Might be something up now though, however he seems to stay well under the media-radar...
@@heatherb1587 Oh I've been listening to Witchouse and its various iterations since around 2010 and it's had a huge influence on my own sound. Sidewalks and Skeletons along with Black Ceiling (each especially being a huge influence for me; making the transition over from Metal to Electronic Music much easier particularly due to Sidewalks and Skeletons often violent jump-scares via sampling obscure horror movies and Black Ceilings extremely dark yet ethereal soundscapes), Bruxa, Salem, White Ring and Ritualz (particularly the 'Ghetto Ass Witch ft GVCCI HVCCI' remixes but to name only a very small few of a massive list and carefully expanding playlist. Always open for recommendations in regards to Witchouse (and even the likes of what you would find on DYNMK playlists too I should mention) so do please send some my way -- its not at all often I come across others who appreciate this kind of sound.
I come back to it throughout the years too and comment so you will see my love for this song scattered in the comments. The way you put it made me laugh and I’m over here just dying in peace to it. 🤣
This song feels like waking up from one of those really weird dreams when you take a nap in the afternoon and when you open your eyes it's already dark out and you feel so unsettled.
Same here. It’s haunting. I always forget the name of the band and when I have the urge to listen to it I have to google for it something like “ girls are dancing after the car crash” and when I find it I watch it on repeat.
This song feels like a realization of the fleeting passage of time that not many people seem to have sometimes. Of the temporary aspects of life, and the fact that we’re only here for a moment in the grand scheme of the universe.
Yeah it’s like a perfectly executed dark art form. I just really love that! I think ppl here might get what Im doing… th-cam.com/video/LmeBZK3_6Gg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zp5wTI5u1QVW63sn
can anyone think of another song like this one? Recommended so far: I'm God - *Clams Casino* [it's a bit lighter and more melodic, space-out mood] A Perfect Circle - *Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm* [much darker, less melodic, heavier on drums, rock vocals] The Acid - *Basic Instinct* [really similar melody and mood! cleaner and slightly more mainstream-sounding, guitar] Shlohmo - *Relentless* [kind of a twisted play on 80s synths/beats, similar mood, syncopated/less smooth, non-consistent] M83 - *Outro* [really similar synths, more peaceful vibe, more melodic] Calvin Harris - *Slow Acid* [similar mood, more motivating and less spacey, less melodic] Lorn - *Sega Sunset* [awesome, and very similar, much less melodic, Anvil is also really good] Darude - *Sandstorm* [not at all similar, an old meme] Korn - *ADIDAS* [heavy/dry rock, near constant vocals, similar mood/attitude, cool song I wouldn't have heard otherwise] Thundercat - *Jethro* [similar rhythm and mood, smoother and a bit more jazzy] Chrome Sparks - *Goddess* [similar synths, similar melody, attitude is sweeter and more mainstream] Desire - *Under Your Spell* [similar synths and genre, much sweeter, very LaRoux, vocals quite different] Crystal Castles - *Not in Love* [similar genre, more motivated and energetic, similarly synths. I forgot about Crystal Castles!] Panda Bear - *Boys Latin* [much drier, heavier on rhythm, similar genre] Sevdaliza - *Human* [heavier mood, similar attitude, slower, sexier, hint of R&B, vocal focus] **Neboscrub - Burnt Light** [the winner so far!! similar beat, mood, synths, motivation, a bit darker/hazier/more aggressive, as JJ pointed out :)] Sidewalks and Skeletons - *Bodies* [also _very_ similar, same mood and feeling, more hip-hop beat, less melodic] Woodkid - *Iron* [super good song, but not super similar. instrumental, more noble and motivating, more energetic, but vocals fit the mood] [also, can we all take a second to be annoyed by how the Waka Waka music video totally ripped off Iron? they weren't even subtle] Flume - *Jakarta* [rougher, lighter, less melodic, equally spacey, similar attitude] Kavinsky - *Nightcall* [different genre, melody heavy, simpler synths, awesome/similar vocals] Thundercat - *Tenfold* [very different genre, similar attitude? much lower production value I think] Goldlink - *When I Die* [similar mood, very repetitive, bit weird rhythmically] Deftones - *U U D D L R L R A B Select Start* [totally different genre, faster and slightly higher energy, but a cool song] Deftones - *Rosemary* [it's metal... alternative metal, but it's really not very similar] JUTRØ - *TRAVVA* [actually extremely similar! maybe slightly darker, and more energetic. a bit more experimental] Zoo Brazil - Heart's a Legend [faster, lighter, and the vocals are more pop/retro/synthwave, but it has that watery quality Acid Rain has] Röyksopp - *Here She Comes Again* [I love Röyksopp! lighter, more playful, but still sleepy like Acid Rain. just a taste of early 2000s] Burial - *Forgive* [much creepier, experimental distortion, a _lot_ like the theme music for the UK show Requiem, bit repetitive] Joji - *Will He* [cleaner, simpler, a bit slower, but actually quite similar! more acoustic, recognizable sounds and effects] FKA - *Lights On* [experimental, really non-homogenous/inconsistent. sort of sleepy like Acid Rain, but much lighter and cooler] Atoms For Peace - *Ingenuine* [super similar! much more optimistic, more energetic. strong Muse flavors] oOoOO - *Seaww* [also very similar, vividly retro beat, sleepier/more distorted vocals] XXYYXX - *DMT* [similar mood, but very different rhythmically, very different drum samples/style, ghostly vocals] Death's Dynamic Shroud - *ゲーム* [vaporwave, slightly cheaper sounding samples, different mood, similar motivation] Fever Ray - *If I Had a Heart* [relatively very acoustic, baseline very Eyes on Fire, vocals are super cool and remind me of Acid Rain, sombre] Lil Silva - *Fist Mark* [really distinct, plastic (cheap synth) melody, different feeling, almost drum and bass drums although it's far from drum and bass] Burial - *Come Down to Us* [inconsistent, ranging from psychedelic to pop electronic, generally ambient, experimental, other-worldly] Of Montreal - *We Will Commit Wolf Murder* [alternative rock/pop, vocal heavy, energetic, not similar] Fever the Ghost - *Calico* [also alternative rock/pop, but slightly more psychedelic, not very similar] River Tiber - *No Talk* [downtempo, smooth, similar rhythmically, similar mood, sort of jazzy, a bit like Massive Attack] Lorn - *Farr* [darker, more experimental, industrial, more energetic] Fade Into Black - *Blouse* [alternative rock, almost Lana del Rey, not super similar but I kind of see why it was recommended] Silversun Pickups - *Dream At Tempo 119* [rock/alt rock, vocals almost hard rock, not similar] The Epilogues - *Handshake Heartattack* [woooah this is super similar! vocals very Sigur Ros, synth and electronic effects are the closest I've heard so far although they fade out during the build. mostly instrumental-sounding after intro] Wet - *Weak (Clams Casino)* [vocals more traditional electronic, similar drum track, background music is pretty similar] Sisyphus - *Take Me* [cool song! really similar vocals, much softer and sweeter. pretty similar overall!] Lorn - *Entangled* [similar but more staccato, a bit harder and colder, a bit more energetic, a bit more "off"/unusual] Sleep Party People - *I'm Not Human At All* [unnerving vocals/verses! similar drums and mood, same sleepy atmosphere, very different synths and effects, more colorful, less homogeneous, break/chorus is kind of alternative] Bonjr - *It's Ok, You're Ok* [lighter, similarly sleepy, slightly more creepy, repetitive, more traditional drums] Grasscut - *Muppet (Nathan Fake)* [smoother, faster, really busy (overpowering) drums, similar instruments besides the drums] I'll keep updating as I can! Usually only have a few minutes here and there, but I'll try not to fall too far behind :D Getting close to the 9970 character limit, might need to switch out some of the songs that aren't similar
Maybe Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rythym of the War Drums by A Perfect Circle. It's more rock-ish than this and has more lyrics, and the video isn't as mesmerizing, but the first time I listened to this song I had to go listen to APC after. The beats for both songs are awesome.
Basic Instinct by The Acid - definitely softer than this song, but has that mesmerizing quality to it. The music video also involves girls in slow motion lol
dude... i cannot get over this video and song. Its like the saddest most beutiful thing i have seen. and everytime i watch it i feel like i knid of understand it a bit more, its so haunting, does anyone else get choked up watching this?
Its the last moment when the cheerleader looks at the camera, a moment of realisation when she knows this is it. This is it. Nothing more to do but accept. That no matter how hard you fight, it wasn't enough. Good Lord, it breaks my heart. Beautiful dancing and incredible music.
@vot_etoo_daa I always thought the girl in the beginning and end carried more of the burden of responsibility because she was driving. I feel that at the end when she's alone.
you nailed it. thanks for putting it so eloquently into words. to struggle to stay alive and then to find out it was over before you even knew it was, that's a hell of a gut-punch
Just here to say you can relate to this video, that doesn't have to mean that you relate to what's happening in the literal narrative. Also, the person was just stating an opinion - a relatively harmless one at that. If you're hurt and/or offended by it, I think you should step back and think a little. There are far more aggressive and hurtful opinions to forbid expression. Why is it so unacceptable to say you don't like something and prefer something else over it?
The more I watch this, the more amazing it looks to me. The near perfectly executed dance routine, the intense facial expressions, the perfect kick against that piece of paper (0.33), the total body-control while making big dance moves in a very cramped space (1:07), the way the dancer falls backwards to draw us into her part of the story (1.46), her split-second timing at 2.08, the slow progression of death throughout the video and the way the girls each are in their own stage of realization and acceptence of their situation (very well visible at 1.00). This is a visual and musical masterpiece. Everytime I watch it, I discover more details.
I found this video the week my wife passed away. The similarity between her and the main character I cant even explain how it makes me feel on top of the haunting music and imagery. I always come back here for a good cry. Makes me think my wife went through something like this after she died but I wasn't able to see her because I'm not in that realm. FML
Hope you're able to remember her with fondness and happiness more often than with pain. We can't shut the pain out, but we can let it be only a piece of the memory
You cant get the song without the video and you cant get the video without the song. You get both you get an understanding that this is a masterpiece without reason.
I love how the second and third dancer seem to know very well what happened. They have blank expressions, are focused on the dance. The first dancer is shaken, confused and in pain. She dances somewhoat involuntarily as if to establish she's well and alive. The others already know. Specially the third dancer, who pops eerily behind the POV and beckons us to follow her to the final dance.
True. Deep melancholic. Takes a bit of time to feel the flow in the bones, but then realizing that it was already present - all the time. That piece of art is like a catalyst.
I love how as the song progresses, the main cheerleader slowly gets more and more "dead" looking. The first half, she only has a few bruises, scuffs and cuts. Once she rejoins her team, she's as dead as the rest of them. It's so bittersweet from her realization that she too has died in the crash. So bittersweet that it literally makes me choke up and want to cry for them.
My friend and I used to get high listening to this song. Used to read real deep into the music video, then he dies in a violent car crash. It's been almost 3 years and this song being suggested brings back painful memories. How ironic though..
This song gives me a feeling that only one other song comes close to. Nothing can replicate this song/music video combo and the depth and serene cryptic peace that it brings you. Dissolve by liquid Stranger comes close, but this video. Those girls. The lighting, angles, lens, the way of you play it on repeat it’s a co start eternal loop, the meaning…nothing replaces this song for me.
“If a dying warrior has limited power, his dance is short; if his power is grandiose, his dance is magnificent. But regardless of whether his power is small or magnificent, death must stop to witness his last stand on earth. Death cannot overtake the warrior who is recounting the toil of his life for the last time until he has finished his dance” - Journey To Ixtlan
wow mr fuck off that is an interesting notion I wonder what life would be like if they were in charge instead of the mr trumps of the world lol. I cant take that name seriously being from the uk pmsl.
There's something very other worldly and primordial about this song, as if it was created in a different dimension that we don't exist in. I fucking love it.
“If a dying warrior has limited power, his dance is short; if his power is grandiose, his dance is magnificent. But regardless of whether his power is small or magnificent, death must stop to witness his last stand on earth.

That's like me but with all my music. I NEVER listen to mainstream music. I'm always searching for those perfect songs that NO ONE knows about. If I go balls to the wall for a solid hour, I could probably squeeze out 4-5 really good songs. Maybe another 1-2 that'd I'd listen to occasionally that was worth putting in a playlist.
_Lyrics (in case anyone wanted to know):_ _Daylight_ _In bad dreams_ _In a cool world_ _Full of cruel things_ _Hang tight_ _All you_ _Nothing like a big bad bridge_ _to go burning through._ _(2x)_
Høuston? More Like SPØØPston. As you seem well informed, I'd like to ask : -Is that your own interpretation of what you hear or have you read it somewhere ? -Do we know who is the voice ? -Is she the same voice as on the "Soft Room" track ? -Are these the same effects on her voice ? -The lyrics seem to have been written by the same person too, did Lorn write them or the mysterious voice lady ? I just love the mood in those two tracks.
In my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece of emotional expression. When I watch this, I have thoughts and feelings of existential dread related to the mere moments just before we die. The girls are injured and broken, but they dance... It's symbolic of how we desperately cling to life and are in denial of what death really means, and at the very end she sees the her truth. Destruction of the ego and the acceptance of the unbreakable rule that nothing lasts forever.
"Destruction of the ego" - For anyone reading who has not been at deaths doorstep (with time to contemplate) it is a profoundly humbling experience. Not even your ego can save you because even that is soon to no longer exist. It is not so much scary, as it is regret on everything you took for granted, especially your time here.
I noticed that the squad was not in the car at the beginning, but only at the end. Thus, perhaps she had to retrieve her friends . . . for whatever final destination.
@@illiteratealphabetagency9716 I interpret it as everyone else getting out of the car before her to dance their last dance. The time at which the clip begins only shows the last time she gets out of the vehicle. She, of all people, was the driver and possibly the culprit in the accident.
[Refrain] Daylight In bad dreams In a cool world Full of cruel things Hang tight All you Nothing like a big bad bridge To go burning through [Refrain] Daylight In bad dreams In a cool world Full of cruel things Hang tight All you Nothing like a big bad bridge To go burning through
no rearview mirror, no hands on the clock, different car they dance by at the end (different vehicle, the body is a vehicle) empty pool..this is about death. This video both disturbs and intrigues me. The music is hypnotic. Truly haunting, and sad. It is the dance of the dead. I give it an A+.
Another TH-camr commented that in many Native American tradidions, before crossing to the other life, one is allowed a last dance. The statue of the Native man in the diner now makes perfect sense.
KOOL thing I learned about this is that in native American folk law they would dance there last dance before passing onto the next life, there a little Easter eggs in the video that show this. At the end they were all dead coz they crashed and the reason why they were dancing is because their spirits were performing their last dance before passing onto the afterlife
She's dancing with the dead One last dance As she follows the footsteps of the others who suffered from the same or similar faith Great tribulation at the end where she realizes Death is upon her shoulders (Idk i just made this up) [i did not get this from one of the top rated comments, i honestly thought i was alone in this perspective. I looked and saw it was right below mines lol and yeah its similar but we are far from the same thing. Its good to know others share the same perspective tho.]
That nae nae at 1:17 was life, this whole video is life. So coordinated, the dancers are on beat and you can tell that they feel the music with their movements.
It's also cool because they are filmed in slow motion. Which means when they recorded it they weren't dancing to this same thing that we are now. Probably sped up. Pretty cool.
This music video makes me think back to the time I was a Junior in High School. I was on the Swim Team, and one of the guys on my team an upperclassman had just turned 17 or 18 that week, well him and four other guys went out partying and drinking later on in the week, it was winter and they were driving a convertible, the driver lost control and slammed into a light pole on an angle, it landed on the backseat killing him (the guy from my team) and his friend in back, the two guys in front survived. We went to his wake, he sat their in the coffin, lifeless, but youthful, it just felt uncomfortable, the first young person I saw that had passed. I didn't know how to process it. My brain couldn't imagine someone so young gone at the time. I was just quiet. We knelt said our prayers, hugged his family, that weekend we went to his funeral mass, and I saw a girl maybe around his age, break down, she started shaking and crying, his family sobbing, his mother screamed, from what we heard the driver who survived it had become catatonic and had a breakdown, i don't remember if he was even there, but I recall the other guy who was with them went up and cried and just kept apologizing. Crying surrounded us, muffled wails sometimes. We all walked out silent. An atmosphere of sadness and despair engulfed that Church. You never forget a moment in time like that, and it makes you appreciate getting older. I'll never forget him, I didn't know him in life, saw him during practice maybe a few times, but i'll remember him in death for the rest of my life. Makes you feel so lucky that you got to see 21 or 25 or 30, when so many young people don't. They are the eternally young. Everyday is a gift. I'm sorry to go deep with a dark chapter but the memory just entered my mind. Appreciate this gift.
Lost two friends in the same car accident when I was 16. Racing another car and lost control hitting a tree and car burst into flames. Hit the tree so hard it snapped in half AND uprooted the tree. The driver burned in the car, passenger got pulled out but was already dead. Driver's brother was in the back and lived. It is very difficult to process death at that age when you feel invincible as a child/youngin'. And it does put into perspective the gift that life is, and how fragile it is. I have had several bicycle crashes that could've killed me and I felt hands on me one time, when no one was there. My own arm on one crash automatically went out and stopped me from hitting my head on a tree at a weird angle that would've killed or paralyzed me. Should've sent a shocking and reeling pain with the force I hit it, but felt nothing as if I had superhero powers. Like Thor meeting his hammer. I just stopped in a split second. All was silent after that for a min or so, even the breeze stopped. "It is not your time"
Find myself replaying the first 45s of this video. The way she moves (almost like her limbs got mangled in the car wreck), her hair flicks around and the beat where the paper flicks up on the kick. Soo cool
Daylight In bad dreams In a cool world Full of cruel things Hang tight All you Nothing like a big bad bridge To go burning through Daylight In bad dreams In a cool world Full of cruel things Hang tight All you Nothing like a big bad bridge To go burning through
The bit at 1:25 always gets me. The way the song dips down, like it's slowly fading, defeated. The way the cheerleader stumbles through, clearly weakening, clearly dying. It's defeat. It's raw, and it's inevitable; just like death.
The perfect explanation I read before: “Their faces and steps are tired, and while their individual moves are generally unique/stylized, each dancer pivots at the same moment to the next move. This gives me a sensation that these girls are being pulled through the movements of the dance, like spirits stepping out of their bodies as their physical form deterates.”
So true; especially on in the diner when the two take their first steps together and then after one of the cheerleaders climbs through the window and crosses her legs at the ankles just in time to join the syncopated farewell dance into eternity. Dead-on choreography. Applauding these dancers every time I watch. Its beyond perfect
And the girl in the kitchen passing through the window instead of the exit is in my opinion a way to express she's already dead. Even her appearance is different in the sense that she paler and looks cold (for a lack of a better word).
In case anyone is wondering how this video works, with the hair movement and stuff… the dreamy quality is done with a very simple trick. The song is kinda slow so you don’t notice at first glance that they’re dancing in slight slo-mo which gives it a dreamlike quality and it feels natural until you realize the song is playing in real time but they’re moving more slowly somehow but still on beat to the song. It could just be slow dancing until you notice the hair and other details moving slowly too… It’s super easy! It’s done by playing the song slightly faster on set while they dance, and then play the video slowed down by the same amount. They appear to be dancing to the song in slight slo-mo which feels eerie in a way you can’t quite describe because it’s not slow enough to be obvious at first glance. Basically they just did the dance about 20% faster and then played the video back at normal speed. Simple! To do this at home, just play some music and speed up the music. On TH-cam you just click the little settings cog, and set playback speed a bit faster. Do your performance in time with the faster music while you record, and then play the recording back the same amount slower. If you sped up the music and dance by 25%, play the video back by 25% slower. It should match up perfectly if you managed to perform well enough and actually hit the beats on time. For best results, film in higher frame rates so that when you slow the video down it doesn’t get choppy… for short clips just film it in slo-mo on your device and then adjust the playback speed to match your audio. I saw a handful of people in the comments wondering or wanting to make a video like this for themselves so I thought I’d share… Hope this helps! Have fun.
I shot a music video like this. You're basically spot on, but to keep it real clean, a little math with the fps helps. Shoot in 30 fps, play the music and lipsync at 125% speed. Edit at 24 fps (24 being 4/5 of 30) and slow your video to 80% (4/5 of 125% is 100%). This gives you the smoothest look as it's matching frame for frame (100% at 24 but it's slowed down by 20%). That all being said, this video looks much slower than 4/5 speed. I'm guessing they shot this in 48 fps and slowed to 30 for 5/8 speed or possible even 24 fps for 1/2 speed. Coldplay used the same effect in their video for Yellow, which also looks to be 5/8 or 1/2 speed.
if u like this music then you should check up artists like: kiasmos, nils frahm and in general music that does not belong to a specific genre but connects with you =)
To film this music video: The audio was sped up to 2x time while the dancers were doing their best to keep up! Then, during editing, they slowed the footage back down to create this floating ghost effect. I absolutely love this music video ❤ So creative! ⭐️
Bending Grid used a similar effect in the music video for "Retrowave Marionette", but it was the opposite. The audio was slowed down 2x, then sped back up afterwards. Both methods produce such cool effects!
Amazing. Speeding it up 2x they really look like they are in the real speed. The song becomes totally garbled, impressive how they could follow it up anyhow.
I don't know what was more beautiful, the video or the conversations down below. THIS is the essence of art, of music. It's provocative, raw, emotional, meaningful and brings a sense of unity.
dpinargote1207 1207, Your comments inspired Me to break My rule of not commenting on TH-cam. This exquisite and spectacular video has Me and many others agreeing with You. It is a very brief masterpiece which shows when a person “comes to the end of their self “. As if being at the very boundary of the hereafter. Being at the edge of life with the joys of life and the sorrow of death at the same time. Your comments prove Your wisdom. Thank You. DJ Ray Nice Cruz Bronx, NY, U.S.A.
I can’t describe it, but this video gives me a feeling I’m so familiar with and yet I can’t explain. It’s like a bad acid dream (in a good way Iykyk) mixed with euphoria and calmness, and it leaves me feeling alone and whole all at once. It kinda makes me feel seen in a way I’ve never been seen before. I’m obsessed with with everything about this. I will keep rewatching it forever and ever. Yeah I’m weird, thanks for reading. ☺️
How Lorn made a sound from the deep dark depths of the abyss is amazing. *Edit:* I made this comment specifically about Lorns deep, moody artistic style which can be found in all his productions. From this song, to 'Anvil,' to 'Timesink,' to 'Sega Sunset.' Where he pulls from a depth of emotion that is visceral and moving. I wasn't mentioning anything religious or kabbalistic, no. Nothing strange... no nonsense. Innocent comment. This art is just real, raw emotion that we universally experience. Speaking to the ineffable transience of life, and the courageous acceptance of it.
More artists do it than you'd expect. Britney's scream in toxic for example. Ever heard of selling your soul for the sake of music money and fame before ?
"nothing like a big bad bridge to burn through" -- holy shit, it's like, the song's message and the music video are showing these cheerleaders dancing their way to the other side - and the thing is, there's five cheerleaders dancing at the end, but only three in the car accident. each dancer has her own dancing voice, but they dance in sync when they're together. so at the end they're in sync with two ghosts.
There is something about this video that makes it so haunting, more than most horror movies I’ve ever watched. I still come back to this video and get the chills.
play it 1.5 speed and then you will see real time speed (the time is in slow down in the vid) the track sound like its designed to also sound good when speed up
This video is about 5 girls who died in a horrific! car accident. it's about given the chance to dance your last dance before your spirit leaves you "forever"... a bit sad, but yet beautiful & artistic way of showing death.
I like that interpretation the best, the girls are "dead" or at the very least dying, but during the "Last dance" of their souls, the Main girl begins to regain consciousness, she loses step with her passengers, she begins to address her injury, and we see the horrible reality of her situation..
How can a song sound so futuristic yet so nostalgic? How can a song be so deep and meaningful yet not many words? How can a song just be so damn good and artistically emotional?
You should really listen to more of Lorn's discography. There Is Still Time, Silhouette, Vestige, Spinning In a Dream, Memory Management There's so many. Lorn is the only artist I know that can consistently create this vibe, there's really no one quite like him.
Thats cuz there are probably sprits or demons attached to this vid . this thing sounds so creepy lol . like a alien invasion where humans ARE NOT winning lol . america is a death culture society . think about all the 13 14 year old girls watching this .. Yeah .. Think there bringing this wierd shit up at the dinner table ? ..im not coming at anybody here im just sayin .. Shits wierd sometimes... Its melodic tho
cityofdreams95 if I found my 13 or 14 year old girl listening to this I would be proud. Mainstream music is such bullshit now in days. Everyone is copying each other music. Sure I would be concerned if she got all depressed on me from a music video, but as long as she isn't. Then it is good to hear new stuff which makes you think differently then you would usually do.
For anyone wondering, the official Synopsis : A group of cheerleaders in Suburbia, America find themselves in limbo after a devastating car crash. Unaware of their untimely demise, they perform one last dance while slowly nearing death.
[Lyrics] Daylight In bad dreams In a cool world Full of cruel things Hang tight All you Nothing like a big bad bridge To go burning through My interpretation: Acid burns away at the surface until it gets to the core which will dissolve away. Happiness in a world of hate, death and hurt is hard to obtain, live until you die.
Mackenzie Berry nice. let me give you mine. balance. you cannot know one without the other. you cannot have something beautiful without having something ugly to compare it to.
No mirrors. No looking back. No clock hands. No time. Stumbling through the Exit. Into the darkness of death. Through the window of the soul. Gathered souls finish their dance while the Lead stands alone for her judgement. I'm so happy I found this tonight. Damn this was incredible.
Something about the way the second girl dances with the first one, it’s like her way of saying “ it’s ok, I know what happened already, we can guide each other.” She already has come to terms with it, hence why her injuries were already vividly showing. It just paints such a beautiful picture of friends guiding each other through their last dance in limbo.
The way she's presented at first as well, calmly and confidently leaning against the counter before joining the dance with her friend. She doesn't even have to acknowledge her friend is there, she just leads her into the dance
She only shows and notices her injury as the group dance and she catches up with the steps; she starts a half step behind, when she catches up comes the reality of what happened. Hell of a video.
💀What gets me is that they are already dead, but the girl in the beginning doesn't quite know it yet. The music is so sad; it makes me think of their young lives and potential, now gone and lost forever: laughter, friends, love, and a chance at a happy life all taken away. It's like the other girls died first and already grasped that they are gone. Now, they are waiting for their friend to catch up. The girl who gazes into the camera and beckons you forward with a knowing look on her face seems to be saying, "This is it; it's time to go, one last dance before we leave." They appear to be alone in the parking lot and diner, but I imagine that they are in an in-between realm before they move on. There must be many people around the car and in the establishment; I could see several of them shiver for a moment as they feel a sudden chill in the air as the girls' spirits move past or through them, causing the living to experience a momentary twinge of loss and despair. In the last scene, she realizes as the mist rolls in that she's dead. I get goosebumps watching this. It makes me feel strange, and I keep watching it. Haunting! 😢
This is the most addictive, transfixing music video I’ve ever seen. Very rarely do you see a story this well told and choreographed, to the right song.
I don't know if any one has noticed but if you look at the clock above the native american it hasn't got the arrows, I think it symbolizes the soul no longer being in physical time/space realm.
Maybe; or they were removed to remove context; because the specific time and details of the accident aren't important (the diner is 24/7 too, no info about time). It's night time, somewhere, on some featureless road, at some empty diner.
Guy Gai Ma boi I felt the same way about the symbolism with the soul, lol. 🤷♂️ I mean it'd be awkwardly concrete if the clock had a time, the car had a license plate, the city name and date appeared in a caption, some employee was mopping floors, etc.
I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one that appreciates such a profound video/song. It’s seriously one of the most haunting yet beautiful videos/songs
I know!!!!! It literally jus swims through my body. U can’t explain it. Almost like going into parallel universe. So moving beautiful touching vulnerable sad calming powerful God I could go on. All these things yet I still can’t explain to others!
This video has always, always disturbed the hell out of me, but I absolutely adore it in some special way. I Even reached out to the main dancer to tell her how amazing I think this video is... But by God, it IS eerie... 🥺🌺🥺
I love reading peoples comments on here while listening to this, on repeat. The stories feel so powerful and real. Gives you such a weird but chill feeling
This cut me to the core. It doesn’t really even need an explanation. It’s devastating. This is true art- it expresses fear and loss in a way we can’t, because we don’t have the words for it.
A plane exploded in mid-air over Scotland 3 decades ago, main part fell on the town of Lockerbie, putting the town on fire. On nearby fields, people ejected mid-air from the dislocating aircraft rained down on the pastures. It came to pass that a local policeman, looking for survivors found a young woman in the middle of this eerily quiet field, still strapped onto her seat next to who probably was her boyfriend. She had fell down for 30,000 feet, yet the patch of grass next to her bore the trail of her hand, where she scratched to grip the earth one last time. Song reminds me of that.
Wellll, that's definitely impossible... the amount of tumble that a 30,000 foot fall would create on impact would be unimaginable. There's no way in hell any kind of conscious effort to claw at the ground would be made after making a massive crater in the ground. Yes, I understand terminal velocity would attained far before the 30,000 feet mark, but the sheer near straight-down impact would eliminate any chance of survival. Air resistance would most likely also eliminate any forward velocity, bringing said person to a near complete plummet.
Some Native American traditions believe that when Death comes you have the chance to dance your last dance and Death has no choice but to watch. The wooden Native American looking into the distance is a tell tale sign of this artistic vision.
plus, we are watching the last dance, which makes us death. mind slightly blown.
Superweinerschnitzel oh holy shit.
I was just pondering of the significance of this dance. Thanks, people.
I'm completely blown away. Like so when the two girls leave through the kitchen, Death is like "alright cool let's go" and then the kitchen ghost girl is like "nah dude we still have more to show you." This gives me the chills.
Dimitri Lagos I love you because of your comment lol
2024 and I still think this vid is cool AF. Dancing their way to the pearly gates!
Really.... theyre going to hell. Its a coven of witches.
A coven of cheerleaders @@Gods_Real
@cthulhuhasrisen1009 dance of the dead. I know people practice witchcraft whether they know it or not. The music industry is full of satanist pedofile carols too. Up all night...talking heads. Molesting christ as a baby. I'd be way more afraid of God than SATAN since he can acend and erase whomever he wants off his timeline. Blow up ping points servers and hard drives too. Hows that for fear!? The beginning is the same as the end........BOOOOOOOOM!!!!! Living proof. Cast at him like he's stupid and you will be in a world of hurt.
Amazing response!
@Gods_Real you're delulu
It looks like they used that filming technique where you choreograph to the song at a faster tempo but then in editing, you slow the footage down to match the actual song tempo which creates this uncanny, lagging effect. It works really well with the video, it feels both frantic and delirious, like how it feels to run in a dream
Yes!! Spoke my mind!!
I was staring at this video thinking how in Odin's bear did they time this so perfectly!
that makes perfect sense
And still the moves are in sync with the beats, almost.
YES great description !!
This is not just a song. THIS IS A FEELING. Like a deep despair living underneath your stomach. The place where Dread and fear live.
Yeah xD All of Lorn's songs are like that... I had to take a break lol
❤❤❤❤ I couldn’t agree more. It is definitely a feeling. Whoever @Kathryngetman is, I get you and feel exactly the same.
Fully agree. Do you guys know Niels Frahm - Says? A song that pulls you into space at some moment. It's a phenomenon as well, I think alsp 100m views for a reason.
When a song embodies an emotion so well into itself, that's when music becomes art.
This song is a musical mosaic of nostalgia, longing, grief, and comfort...forming a feeling that has no name.
Idk what is going on with this song and my brain but I need to find out what hz ever beat is
What you describe is melancholy. I love this song.
@@Tons.of.fun. why do I want it then
@@Bearly-Josh it's not a bad feeling perse. It helps dealing with experiences or day to day cycle. I for myself love this feeling and helps me from time to time to sort emotions. No, not an Emo.(:
the music is shit, but to imagine they spent millions in a video of a bad music, what a waste
I was searching for Korn and I typed Lorn. Now I'm hearing this song over and over. The best mistype I've made.
YT threw this at me randomly in a playlist - now I’m in love 😍
@@rodthewad666 Love when that happens. Found Lorn a few years ago on what I think was a 'Witchouse' playlist but this was in there too, and I've been obsessed with all his music since. Read some interviews with him but I remember trying to find him speaking on youtube and couldnt find any thing. Might be something up now though, however he seems to stay well under the media-radar...
Good for you! Expand those musical horizons! Delve deeper into obscure witch house & what not. Purity Ring can make u feel...
@@heatherb1587 Oh I've been listening to Witchouse and its various iterations since around 2010 and it's had a huge influence on my own sound. Sidewalks and Skeletons along with Black Ceiling (each especially being a huge influence for me; making the transition over from Metal to Electronic Music much easier particularly due to Sidewalks and Skeletons often violent jump-scares via sampling obscure horror movies and Black Ceilings extremely dark yet ethereal soundscapes), Bruxa, Salem, White Ring and Ritualz (particularly the 'Ghetto Ass Witch ft GVCCI HVCCI' remixes but to name only a very small few of a massive list and carefully expanding playlist.
Always open for recommendations in regards to Witchouse (and even the likes of what you would find on DYNMK playlists too I should mention) so do please send some my way -- its not at all often I come across others who appreciate this kind of sound.
God bless you. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This creates a mood I cannot get anywhere else. It leaves me wanting more and so empty as the same time. It creates the feeling of nothingness.
Caleb Markovich that's how I am feeling about now. fuck. I hate feeling like this
Sound tracks to Oxenfree and Hyper Light Drifter capture this mood very well.
Caleb Markovich right this has the makings of like a new genre at least visually if nothing else
Lorn and Shlohmo is two of the only artists that can make me feel this way. It's the weirdest thing but I love it
Caleb Markovich bro me too
Every year I come back to remind myself that a music video about deceased, dancing cheerleaders can be poetic with the right music.
😂😂❤ Absolutely
I come back to it throughout the years too and comment so you will see my love for this song scattered in the comments. The way you put it made me laugh and I’m over here just dying in peace to it. 🤣
😊
Hard rock halleluja is to with dacing zombie cheerleadeers
This song feels like waking up from one of those really weird dreams when you take a nap in the afternoon and when you open your eyes it's already dark out and you feel so unsettled.
joolenka and ur sweaty
SO ACCURATE!
Oh god, you got the point so right! ahah
Yea
joolenka yess
I always seem to come back to this song, no matter how much time has passed..
Same here. It’s haunting. I always forget the name of the band and when I have the urge to listen to it I have to google for it something like “ girls are dancing after the car crash” and when I find it I watch it on repeat.
I just stumbled into the song.
I’ve watched this video around 100 times in the past 2 months, at least
One of the few songs that gives me goosebumps every single time
#Love
This isn't even just a song or a dance video. This is an experience
Yeah, this is an EXPERIENCE. You are 100% (so fucking) right. It's so much more...
Reminds me of when you wake up middle of the night no ones awake you feel eerily lonely abs you don’t know where you are what time or day it is ....
check the Lorn/Prometheus inspired music video th-cam.com/video/DicNr_-GirU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/SzB1WJlgQ_c/w-d-xo.html🎵
Seems like a music video to me.
This song feels like a realization of the fleeting passage of time that not many people seem to have sometimes.
Of the temporary aspects of life, and the fact that we’re only here for a moment in the grand scheme of the universe.
Yes 😢
Indeed
All of these years later...still, chills. What a well-executed vision.
Yeah it’s like a perfectly executed dark art form. I just really love that! I think ppl here might get what Im doing… th-cam.com/video/LmeBZK3_6Gg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Zp5wTI5u1QVW63sn
amazing isnt it
@@Kektamusprimeit’s a classic imo
same. chills everytime
Would have been better with hotter girls tho
can anyone think of another song like this one?
Recommended so far:
I'm God - *Clams Casino* [it's a bit lighter and more melodic, space-out mood]
A Perfect Circle - *Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm* [much darker, less melodic, heavier on drums, rock vocals]
The Acid - *Basic Instinct* [really similar melody and mood! cleaner and slightly more mainstream-sounding, guitar]
Shlohmo - *Relentless* [kind of a twisted play on 80s synths/beats, similar mood, syncopated/less smooth, non-consistent]
M83 - *Outro* [really similar synths, more peaceful vibe, more melodic]
Calvin Harris - *Slow Acid* [similar mood, more motivating and less spacey, less melodic]
Lorn - *Sega Sunset* [awesome, and very similar, much less melodic, Anvil is also really good]
Darude - *Sandstorm* [not at all similar, an old meme]

Thundercat - *Jethro* [similar rhythm and mood, smoother and a bit more jazzy]
Chrome Sparks - *Goddess* [similar synths, similar melody, attitude is sweeter and more mainstream]
Desire - *Under Your Spell* [similar synths and genre, much sweeter, very LaRoux, vocals quite different]
Crystal Castles - *Not in Love* [similar genre, more motivated and energetic, similarly synths. I forgot about Crystal Castles!]
Panda Bear - *Boys Latin* [much drier, heavier on rhythm, similar genre]
Sevdaliza - *Human* [heavier mood, similar attitude, slower, sexier, hint of R&B, vocal focus]
**Neboscrub - Burnt Light** [the winner so far!! similar beat, mood, synths, motivation, a bit darker/hazier/more aggressive, as JJ pointed out :)]
Sidewalks and Skeletons - *Bodies* [also _very_ similar, same mood and feeling, more hip-hop beat, less melodic]
Woodkid - *Iron* [super good song, but not super similar. instrumental, more noble and motivating, more energetic, but vocals fit the mood] [also, can we all take a second to be annoyed by how the Waka Waka music video totally ripped off Iron? they weren't even subtle]
Flume - *Jakarta* [rougher, lighter, less melodic, equally spacey, similar attitude]
Kavinsky - *Nightcall* [different genre, melody heavy, simpler synths, awesome/similar vocals]
Thundercat - *Tenfold* [very different genre, similar attitude? much lower production value I think]
Goldlink - *When I Die* [similar mood, very repetitive, bit weird rhythmically]
Deftones - *U U D D L R L R A B Select Start* [totally different genre, faster and slightly higher energy, but a cool song]
Deftones - *Rosemary* [it's metal... alternative metal, but it's really not very similar]
JUTRØ - *TRAVVA* [actually extremely similar! maybe slightly darker, and more energetic. a bit more experimental]
Zoo Brazil - Heart's a Legend [faster, lighter, and the vocals are more pop/retro/synthwave, but it has that watery quality Acid Rain has]
Röyksopp - *Here She Comes Again* [I love Röyksopp! lighter, more playful, but still sleepy like Acid Rain. just a taste of early 2000s]
Burial - *Forgive* [much creepier, experimental distortion, a _lot_ like the theme music for the UK show Requiem, bit repetitive]
Joji - *Will He* [cleaner, simpler, a bit slower, but actually quite similar! more acoustic, recognizable sounds and effects]
FKA - *Lights On* [experimental, really non-homogenous/inconsistent. sort of sleepy like Acid Rain, but much lighter and cooler]
Atoms For Peace - *Ingenuine* [super similar! much more optimistic, more energetic. strong Muse flavors]
oOoOO - *Seaww* [also very similar, vividly retro beat, sleepier/more distorted vocals]
XXYYXX - *DMT* [similar mood, but very different rhythmically, very different drum samples/style, ghostly vocals]
Death's Dynamic Shroud - *ゲーム* [vaporwave, slightly cheaper sounding samples, different mood, similar motivation]
Fever Ray - *If I Had a Heart* [relatively very acoustic, baseline very Eyes on Fire, vocals are super cool and remind me of Acid Rain, sombre]
Lil Silva - *Fist Mark* [really distinct, plastic (cheap synth) melody, different feeling, almost drum and bass drums although it's far from drum and bass]
Burial - *Come Down to Us* [inconsistent, ranging from psychedelic to pop electronic, generally ambient, experimental, other-worldly]
Of Montreal - *We Will Commit Wolf Murder* [alternative rock/pop, vocal heavy, energetic, not similar]
Fever the Ghost - *Calico* [also alternative rock/pop, but slightly more psychedelic, not very similar]

Fade Into Black - *Blouse* [alternative rock, almost Lana del Rey, not super similar but I kind of see why it was recommended]
Silversun Pickups - *Dream At Tempo 119* [rock/alt rock, vocals almost hard rock, not similar]
The Epilogues - *Handshake Heartattack* [woooah this is super similar! vocals very Sigur Ros, synth and electronic effects are the closest I've heard so far although they fade out during the build. mostly instrumental-sounding after intro]
Wet - *Weak (Clams Casino)* [vocals more traditional electronic, similar drum track, background music is pretty similar]
Sisyphus - *Take Me* [cool song! really similar vocals, much softer and sweeter. pretty similar overall!]
Lorn - *Entangled* [similar but more staccato, a bit harder and colder, a bit more energetic, a bit more "off"/unusual]
Sleep Party People - *I'm Not Human At All* [unnerving vocals/verses! similar drums and mood, same sleepy atmosphere, very different synths and effects, more colorful, less homogeneous, break/chorus is kind of alternative]
Bonjr - *It's Ok, You're Ok* [lighter, similarly sleepy, slightly more creepy, repetitive, more traditional drums]
Grasscut - *Muppet (Nathan Fake)* [smoother, faster, really busy (overpowering) drums, similar instruments besides the drums]
I'll keep updating as I can! Usually only have a few minutes here and there, but I'll try not to fall too far behind :D Getting close to the 9970 character limit, might need to switch out some of the songs that aren't similar
Cinnamon
clams casino - I'm God
Maybe Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rythym of the War Drums by A Perfect Circle.
It's more rock-ish than this and has more lyrics, and the video isn't as mesmerizing, but the first time I listened to this song I had to go listen to APC after. The beats for both songs are awesome.
Basic Instinct by The Acid - definitely softer than this song, but has that mesmerizing quality to it. The music video also involves girls in slow motion lol
M83 - Outro
Calvin Harris - Slow Acid
dude... i cannot get over this video and song. Its like the saddest most beutiful thing i have seen. and everytime i watch it i feel like i knid of understand it a bit more, its so haunting, does anyone else get choked up watching this?
coldsake07 I know, it's hauntingly beautiful.
YEEEEEESSSS!!!! that is exactly how i feel!
coldsake07 .....real shit.....probably the most emotional soul ripping dance trance I've ever heard and I love it
choked, is the right word. thank you soooo much
coldsake07 it's exactly what i'm thinking too
It's hypnotic, the dancers are so powerfull that's... hypnotic.
I just noticed the missing clock hands, representing how time no longer applies in the twilight of limbo as their souls have left their bodies. wow
check the Lorn/Prometheus inspired music video th-cam.com/video/DicNr_-GirU/w-d-xo.html
Whaaa?? Wat her this a million times and never saw it. Had to watch again 😂
What is limbo
@@Slapdatknee limbo is being not here nor there. Its where are when we die not where were going.
@@lilcocacola wow that’s creepy tho
Its the last moment when the cheerleader looks at the camera, a moment of realisation when she knows this is it.
This is it. Nothing more to do but accept. That no matter how hard you fight, it wasn't enough. Good Lord, it breaks my heart. Beautiful dancing and incredible music.
Never quit fighting to live ever .
@vot_etoo_daa No, they're all dead. This was their last dance. They were in the same car, they have the same uniforms.
@vot_etoo_daa I always thought the girl in the beginning and end carried more of the burden of responsibility because she was driving. I feel that at the end when she's alone.
you nailed it. thanks for putting it so eloquently into words. to struggle to stay alive and then to find out it was over before you even knew it was, that's a hell of a gut-punch
Yes...
This music video is art omg..
Just here to say you can relate to this video, that doesn't have to mean that you relate to what's happening in the literal narrative. Also, the person was just stating an opinion - a relatively harmless one at that. If you're hurt and/or offended by it, I think you should step back and think a little. There are far more aggressive and hurtful opinions to forbid expression. Why is it so unacceptable to say you don't like something and prefer something else over it?
its so true
Video is fine, but it would be nothing without Lorns brilliant mind
Agreed
The more I watch this, the more amazing it looks to me. The near perfectly executed dance routine, the intense facial expressions, the perfect kick against that piece of paper (0.33), the total body-control while making big dance moves in a very cramped space (1:07), the way the dancer falls backwards to draw us into her part of the story (1.46), her split-second timing at 2.08, the slow progression of death throughout the video and the way the girls each are in their own stage of realization and acceptence of their situation (very well visible at 1.00).
This is a visual and musical masterpiece. Everytime I watch it, I discover more details.
I found this video the week my wife passed away. The similarity between her and the main character I cant even explain how it makes me feel on top of the haunting music and imagery. I always come back here for a good cry. Makes me think my wife went through something like this after she died but I wasn't able to see her because I'm not in that realm. FML
Sorry for your loss. God bless both of you.
Blessings to you brother. How tragic. I pray for your strength in Jesus Name. Day by day.
Hope you're able to remember her with fondness and happiness more often than with pain. We can't shut the pain out, but we can let it be only a piece of the memory
lol
Just keep it moving brother, it's what she would want. She was the main character in your movie and that's beautiful.
You cant get the song without the video and you cant get the video without the song. You get both you get an understanding that this is a masterpiece without reason.
I love how the second and third dancer seem to know very well what happened. They have blank expressions, are focused on the dance. The first dancer is shaken, confused and in pain. She dances somewhoat involuntarily as if to establish she's well and alive. The others already know. Specially the third dancer, who pops eerily behind the POV and beckons us to follow her to the final dance.
Yeah, I was scared of the third dancer at first,lol
Great commentary!
YES BEAUTIFUL POINT OUT!!!!
People cant take this its hard i cant either
Reminds me of kid cudi
Music 10/10, Choreography 10/10, Cinematography 10/10. Very very impressive!
i concur
It's strange to think that the song will be 10 years old in 2025 at the same time you feel that the vibe it gives is as if it were recent.
Timeless
Actual art always is. @@aliciaflores7095
True. Deep melancholic. Takes a bit of time to feel the flow in the bones, but then realizing that it was already present - all the time. That piece of art is like a catalyst.
2025?!! ni@@a you are scaring me. Am i on a trip without using drugs? I thought it is 2024
bad music never gets older
I love how as the song progresses, the main cheerleader slowly gets more and more "dead" looking. The first half, she only has a few bruises, scuffs and cuts. Once she rejoins her team, she's as dead as the rest of them. It's so bittersweet from her realization that she too has died in the crash. So bittersweet that it literally makes me choke up and want to cry for them.
Feels like the beat is her heart slowing down as she dies.
There are two types of comments.
good call.
La Mishi Mish they are on a dance mission to save the world. Their bruises are battle scars.
+Mike Brown - Fosters, good call
My friend and I used to get high listening to this song. Used to read real deep into the music video, then he dies in a violent car crash. It's been almost 3 years and this song being suggested brings back painful memories. How ironic though..
Must be really hard, I'm sorry for your loss...be safe ok
Stay strong friend
Stay strong mate, you'll get throught this, and i'm so sorry for your loss
I totalled my truck a few days after watching this the first time. Should have died but didnt.didn't. Sorry about your loss buddy.
My condolences, mate
This song gives me a feeling that only one other song comes close to. Nothing can replicate this song/music video combo and the depth and serene cryptic peace that it brings you. Dissolve by liquid Stranger comes close, but this video. Those girls. The lighting, angles, lens, the way of you play it on repeat it’s a co start eternal loop, the meaning…nothing replaces this song for me.
They died in the crash. They are having what's known as the death dance. The dancing the soul does before leaving this world. Beautiful.
i was thinking the same way, thank you
we are so far away from each other, but we are thinking the same

What mythologie is that based on? Because the only people who know the experience of death are the ones who are.

“If a dying warrior has limited power, his dance is short; if his power is grandiose, his dance is magnificent. But regardless of whether his power is small or magnificent, death must stop to witness his last stand on earth. Death cannot overtake the warrior who is recounting the toil of his life for the last time until he has finished his dance”

me too. Most of the suggestions are trash...but on some rare occasions, perfection.
That's like me but with all my music. I NEVER listen to mainstream music. I'm always searching for those perfect songs that NO ONE knows about. If I go balls to the wall for a solid hour, I could probably squeeze out 4-5 really good songs. Maybe another 1-2 that'd I'd listen to occasionally that was worth putting in a playlist.
im glad people are finding this song! it’s always been so powerful to me, all the interpretation in this piece is beautiful to witness.

Høuston? More Like SPØØPston. isnt it in a CRUEL world..
Høuston? More Like SPØØPston.
As you seem well informed, I'd like to ask :
-Is that your own interpretation of what you hear or have you read it somewhere ?
-Do we know who is the voice ?
-Is she the same voice as on the "Soft Room" track ?
-Are these the same effects on her voice ?
-The lyrics seem to have been written by the same person too, did Lorn write them or the mysterious voice lady ?
I just love the mood in those two tracks.
There were words in there?
This song gives me the most unique feeling I've ever felt
same
Literally just told that to my gf...
Same
every time is different i swear
Music, my friend is a great thing. Great is not always fun.
In my humble opinion, this is a masterpiece of emotional expression. When I watch this, I have thoughts and feelings of existential dread related to the mere moments just before we die. The girls are injured and broken, but they dance... It's symbolic of how we desperately cling to life and are in denial of what death really means, and at the very end she sees the her truth. Destruction of the ego and the acceptance of the unbreakable rule that nothing lasts forever.
"Destruction of the ego" - For anyone reading who has not been at deaths doorstep (with time to contemplate) it is a profoundly humbling experience. Not even your ego can save you because even that is soon to no longer exist. It is not so much scary, as it is regret on everything you took for granted, especially your time here.
We can truly start to live, once we give up on the fear of death.
I noticed that the squad was not in the car at the beginning, but only at the end. Thus, perhaps she had to retrieve her friends . . . for whatever final destination.
Yeah, I have an emotional rsponse to this video as well. Last Dance With Death.
@@illiteratealphabetagency9716 I interpret it as everyone else getting out of the car before her to dance their last dance. The time at which the clip begins only shows the last time she gets out of the vehicle. She, of all people, was the driver and possibly the culprit in the accident.
Still one of the most underrated videos of qll times🎉

I understood only "hentai", but it wasn't even there
I'm loving the comment section on this video. It's like we're in an art gallery discussing a standout piece.
Yes!$$
I came back to rewatch and check for new comments, ha ha.
it allows everyone to see the perception of others about the work
This is most definitely a stand out piece of art! 😍
@Bilal Khalid ur gross
no rearview mirror, no hands on the clock, different car they dance by at the end (different vehicle, the body is a vehicle) empty pool..this is about death. This video both disturbs and intrigues me. The music is hypnotic. Truly haunting, and sad. It is the dance of the dead. I give it an A+.
Plus the first 4 seconds, the very bright light filling the back window outside the car.
0:04
Another TH-camr commented that in many Native American tradidions, before crossing to the other life, one is allowed a last dance. The statue of the Native man in the diner now makes perfect sense.
it usally is.. with lorn th-cam.com/video/CqaAs_3azSs/w-d-xo.html
KOOL thing I learned about this is that in native American folk law they would dance there last dance before passing onto the next life, there a little Easter eggs in the video that show this. At the end they were all dead coz they crashed and the reason why they were dancing is because their spirits were performing their last dance before passing onto the afterlife
@@erickrodriguezarechiga7934aha I just commented that Its KOOL isn't it
I'm hypnotized by this. It's poetic, tragic, poignant, beautiful, telling, moving, haunting..
She's dancing with the dead
One last dance
As she follows the footsteps of the others who suffered from the same or similar faith
Great tribulation at the end where she realizes
Death is upon her shoulders
(Idk i just made this up)
[i did not get this from one of the top rated comments, i honestly thought i was alone in this perspective. I looked and saw it was right below mines lol and yeah its similar but we are far from the same thing. Its good to know others share the same perspective tho.]
mind blown
my words fail me. i. love. you.
Yes
Was that fun?
lol?
That nae nae at 1:17 was life, this whole video is life. So coordinated, the dancers are on beat and you can tell that they feel the music with their movements.
true
Loves it
yeah, it's crazy how on beat they are. Just love this video and song so much. They go together perfectly.
Don't drink and drive folks
It's also cool because they are filmed in slow motion. Which means when they recorded it they weren't dancing to this same thing that we are now. Probably sped up. Pretty cool.
This music video makes me think back to the time I was a Junior in High School. I was on the Swim Team, and one of the guys on my team an upperclassman had just turned 17 or 18 that week, well him and four other guys went out partying and drinking later on in the week, it was winter and they were driving a convertible, the driver lost control and slammed into a light pole on an angle, it landed on the backseat killing him (the guy from my team) and his friend in back, the two guys in front survived. We went to his wake, he sat their in the coffin, lifeless, but youthful, it just felt uncomfortable, the first young person I saw that had passed. I didn't know how to process it. My brain couldn't imagine someone so young gone at the time. I was just quiet. We knelt said our prayers, hugged his family, that weekend we went to his funeral mass, and I saw a girl maybe around his age, break down, she started shaking and crying, his family sobbing, his mother screamed, from what we heard the driver who survived it had become catatonic and had a breakdown, i don't remember if he was even there, but I recall the other guy who was with them went up and cried and just kept apologizing. Crying surrounded us, muffled wails sometimes. We all walked out silent. An atmosphere of sadness and despair engulfed that Church. You never forget a moment in time like that, and it makes you appreciate getting older. I'll never forget him, I didn't know him in life, saw him during practice maybe a few times, but i'll remember him in death for the rest of my life. Makes you feel so lucky that you got to see 21 or 25 or 30, when so many young people don't. They are the eternally young. Everyday is a gift. I'm sorry to go deep with a dark chapter but the memory just entered my mind. Appreciate this gift.
What was his name?
I hope you had recovered from this. 💕
Lost two friends in the same car accident when I was 16. Racing another car and lost control hitting a tree and car burst into flames. Hit the tree so hard it snapped in half AND uprooted the tree. The driver burned in the car, passenger got pulled out but was already dead. Driver's brother was in the back and lived. It is very difficult to process death at that age when you feel invincible as a child/youngin'.
And it does put into perspective the gift that life is, and how fragile it is. I have had several bicycle crashes that could've killed me and I felt hands on me one time, when no one was there. My own arm on one crash automatically went out and stopped me from hitting my head on a tree at a weird angle that would've killed or paralyzed me. Should've sent a shocking and reeling pain with the force I hit it, but felt nothing as if I had superhero powers. Like Thor meeting his hammer. I just stopped in a split second. All was silent after that for a min or so, even the breeze stopped. "It is not your time"
wow.. thank you for sharing that bro.
This hit hard.
Find myself replaying the first 45s of this video. The way she moves (almost like her limbs got mangled in the car wreck), her hair flicks around and the beat where the paper flicks up on the kick. Soo cool

@Felix Thanks for posting
"Hang tight" i aways understood "hentai"
i believe its "cruel" instead of "cool" in the 3 line
Thanks Felix
@@Andre-gy5ml I googled the lyrics and that's what I found, so idk dude.
The bit at 1:25 always gets me. The way the song dips down, like it's slowly fading, defeated. The way the cheerleader stumbles through, clearly weakening, clearly dying. It's defeat. It's raw, and it's inevitable; just like death.
That part of the song (and any song) is called the bridge.
check the Lorn/Prometheus inspired music video th-cam.com/video/DicNr_-GirU/w-d-xo.html
The perfect explanation I read before:
“Their faces and steps are tired, and while their individual moves are generally unique/stylized, each dancer pivots at the same moment to the next move.
This gives me a sensation that these girls are being pulled through the movements of the dance, like spirits stepping out of their bodies as their physical form deterates.”
This gave me goosebumps. Thank u
Lil Kitten you welcome
makes sense
So true; especially on in the diner when the two take their first steps together and then after one of the cheerleaders climbs through the window and crosses her legs at the ankles just in time to join the syncopated farewell dance into eternity. Dead-on choreography. Applauding these dancers every time I watch. Its beyond perfect
And the girl in the kitchen passing through the window instead of the exit is in my opinion a way to express she's already dead. Even her appearance is different in the sense that she paler and looks cold (for a lack of a better word).
In case anyone is wondering how this video works, with the hair movement and stuff… the dreamy quality is done with a very simple trick.
The song is kinda slow so you don’t notice at first glance that they’re dancing in slight slo-mo which gives it a dreamlike quality and it feels natural until you realize the song is playing in real time but they’re moving more slowly somehow but still on beat to the song. It could just be slow dancing until you notice the hair and other details moving slowly too…
It’s super easy! It’s done by playing the song slightly faster on set while they dance, and then play the video slowed down by the same amount. They appear to be dancing to the song in slight slo-mo which feels eerie in a way you can’t quite describe because it’s not slow enough to be obvious at first glance. Basically they just did the dance about 20% faster and then played the video back at normal speed. Simple!
To do this at home, just play some music and speed up the music. On TH-cam you just click the little settings cog, and set playback speed a bit faster. Do your performance in time with the faster music while you record, and then play the recording back the same amount slower. If you sped up the music and dance by 25%, play the video back by 25% slower. It should match up perfectly if you managed to perform well enough and actually hit the beats on time.
For best results, film in higher frame rates so that when you slow the video down it doesn’t get choppy… for short clips just film it in slo-mo on your device and then adjust the playback speed to match your audio.
I saw a handful of people in the comments wondering or wanting to make a video like this for themselves so I thought I’d share… Hope this helps! Have fun.
This is so sweet thank you ❤
I shot a music video like this. You're basically spot on, but to keep it real clean, a little math with the fps helps. Shoot in 30 fps, play the music and lipsync at 125% speed. Edit at 24 fps (24 being 4/5 of 30) and slow your video to 80% (4/5 of 125% is 100%). This gives you the smoothest look as it's matching frame for frame (100% at 24 but it's slowed down by 20%). That all being said, this video looks much slower than 4/5 speed. I'm guessing they shot this in 48 fps and slowed to 30 for 5/8 speed or possible even 24 fps for 1/2 speed. Coldplay used the same effect in their video for Yellow, which also looks to be 5/8 or 1/2 speed.
The choreography for this song is absolutely amazing
level master ;) i love this song.
Grzegorz Wasiela me too...it’s always hit different
Grzegorz Wasiela if you don’t already listen/know the band Chelou they also make really cool videos

Happy Halloween! 💀thought I'd bring you all back here hahaha😀
Muze Ack Yeeeeeey. Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in!
To film this music video: The audio was sped up to 2x time while the dancers were doing their best to keep up! Then, during editing, they slowed the footage back down to create this floating ghost effect. I absolutely love this music video ❤ So creative! ⭐️
Bending Grid used a similar effect in the music video for "Retrowave Marionette", but it was the opposite. The audio was slowed down 2x, then sped back up afterwards. Both methods produce such cool effects!
It being a continuous shot, too, is lovely!
Amazing. Speeding it up 2x they really look like they are in the real speed. The song becomes totally garbled, impressive how they could follow it up anyhow.
I was wondering how they did it! 👌🏻
@@RicardoDirani No it doesn't, it looks too fast. But at 1.5 times you'll see it and the music isn't garbled either.
This is too atmospheric, creepy and nostlagic just like 80s 90s horror films. I like it.
This is honestly one of the best music videos I've seen in ages. Very hypnotic.
EchoAstro what are you talking about. The music and video are complete rubbish.
+The End - You must be blind then, the cinematography for the video is amazing.

1207, Your comments inspired Me to break My rule of not commenting on TH-cam.
This exquisite and spectacular video has Me and many others agreeing with You.
It is a very brief masterpiece which shows when a person “comes to the end of their self “. As if being at the very boundary of the hereafter. Being at the edge of life with the joys of life and the sorrow of death at the same time. Your comments prove Your wisdom. Thank You.

+Max Payne This comment is golden.
LMAO
I can’t describe it, but this video gives me a feeling I’m so familiar with and yet I can’t explain. It’s like a bad acid dream (in a good way Iykyk) mixed with euphoria and calmness, and it leaves me feeling alone and whole all at once. It kinda makes me feel seen in a way I’ve never been seen before. I’m obsessed with with everything about this. I will keep rewatching it forever and ever. Yeah I’m weird, thanks for reading. ☺️
How Lorn made a sound from the deep dark depths of the abyss is amazing.
*Edit:* I made this comment specifically about Lorns deep, moody artistic style which can be found in all his productions. From this song, to 'Anvil,' to 'Timesink,' to 'Sega Sunset.'
Where he pulls from a depth of emotion that is visceral and moving.
I wasn't mentioning anything religious or kabbalistic, no. Nothing strange... no nonsense. Innocent comment.
This art is just real, raw emotion that we universally experience. Speaking to the ineffable transience of life, and the courageous acceptance of it.
That is huaghting
More artists do it than you'd expect. Britney's scream in toxic for example.
Ever heard of selling your soul for the sake of music money and fame before ?
It's so deeply dark & beautiful.

"nothing like a big bad bridge to burn through" -- holy shit, it's like, the song's message and the music video are showing these cheerleaders dancing their way to the other side - and the thing is, there's five cheerleaders dancing at the end, but only three in the car accident. each dancer has her own dancing voice, but they dance in sync when they're together. so at the end they're in sync with two ghosts.

I know right this video just had something that's different...
It's so Erie and fun at the same time
+Hannah Collins I think it might be how the dancing is in slow motion but its still on beat. It's really interesting how they do that cx
Everything looks cool in slow mo.
talk about satisfying musiic videos to watch... try Turbo killer by Carpenter Brut ;)
There is something about this video that makes it so haunting, more than most horror movies I’ve ever watched. I still come back to this video and get the chills.
Me too but I was wondering if it's because it looks so much like the Jenkins case
Probably cause they recorded the video in a different speed and then slowed it down. Makes it feel eery
play it 1.5 speed and then you will see real time speed (the time is in slow down in the vid)
the track sound like its designed to also sound good when speed up
the video just shows girls twitching all weirdly and shit lmao yall looking too deep into it smh
@@senpaimew1964 fax
They need to make an entire movie about this storyline. Watching this as Fall approaches in 2024.
This video is about 5 girls who died in a horrific! car accident.
it's about given the chance to dance your last dance before your spirit leaves you "forever"...
a bit sad, but yet beautiful & artistic way of showing death.
ellitestar This made me teary-eyed
I sometimes forget what I watch isn't real and I legit cry on rare occations when some of my favourite character that I like dies
I like that interpretation the best, the girls are "dead" or at the very least dying, but during the "Last dance" of their souls, the Main girl begins to regain consciousness, she loses step with her passengers, she begins to address her injury, and we see the horrible reality of her situation..
Well that was easy
Not sure if dancing is the last thing you want to do before your spirit leaves you.
How can a song sound so futuristic yet so nostalgic?
How can a song be so deep and meaningful yet not many words?
How can a song just be so damn good and artistically emotional?
You should really listen to more of Lorn's discography. There Is Still Time, Silhouette, Vestige, Spinning In a Dream, Memory Management
There's so many. Lorn is the only artist I know that can consistently create this vibe, there's really no one quite like him.
Cuz its wave 😅
This video depressed me. Now I can't stop watching it.

cityofdreams95 if I found my 13 or 14 year old girl listening to this I would be proud. Mainstream music is such bullshit now in days. Everyone is copying each other music. Sure I would be concerned if she got all depressed on me from a music video, but as long as she isn't. Then it is good to hear new stuff which makes you think differently then you would usually do.
BEST MUSIC VIDEO OF ALL TIME. (Watched it drunk, watched it sober, watched it while forking; and I've decided, BEST EVER EVER EVER.)
For anyone wondering, the official Synopsis :
A group of cheerleaders in Suburbia, America find themselves in limbo after a devastating car crash. Unaware of their untimely demise, they perform one last dance while slowly nearing death.
Thank you for that, but could I ask if you know what kind of genre that would be considered, roughly? I would like to find more music like this

Something about the way the second girl dances with the first one, it’s like her way of saying “ it’s ok, I know what happened already, we can guide each other.” She already has come to terms with it, hence why her injuries were already vividly showing. It just paints such a beautiful picture of friends guiding each other through their last dance in limbo.
The way she's presented at first as well, calmly and confidently leaning against the counter before joining the dance with her friend. She doesn't even have to acknowledge her friend is there, she just leads her into the dance
@@cearapearson8752 Yeah I noticed that too, it really gives me chills they did awesome with the small details in this video
Welp, crying in the Taco Bell drive thru now
She only shows and notices her injury as the group dance and she catches up with the steps; she starts a half step behind, when she catches up comes the reality of what happened. Hell of a video.
Damn that's deep, sis

💀What gets me is that they are already dead, but the girl in the beginning doesn't quite know it yet. The music is so sad; it makes me think of their young lives and potential, now gone and lost forever: laughter, friends, love, and a chance at a happy life all taken away. It's like the other girls died first and already grasped that they are gone. Now, they are waiting for their friend to catch up. The girl who gazes into the camera and beckons you forward with a knowing look on her face seems to be saying, "This is it; it's time to go, one last dance before we leave." They appear to be alone in the parking lot and diner, but I imagine that they are in an in-between realm before they move on. There must be many people around the car and in the establishment; I could see several of them shiver for a moment as they feel a sudden chill in the air as the girls' spirits move past or through them, causing the living to experience a momentary twinge of loss and despair. In the last scene, she realizes as the mist rolls in that she's dead.
I get goosebumps watching this. It makes me feel strange, and I keep watching it. Haunting! 😢

Limbo, maybe.
Maybe; or they were removed to remove context; because the specific time and details of the accident aren't important (the diner is 24/7 too, no info about time). It's night time, somewhere, on some featureless road, at some empty diner.

A plane exploded in mid-air over Scotland 3 decades ago, main part fell on the town of Lockerbie, putting the town on fire. On nearby fields, people ejected mid-air from the dislocating aircraft rained down on the pastures. It came to pass that a local policeman, looking for survivors found a young woman in the middle of this eerily quiet field, still strapped onto her seat next to who probably was her boyfriend. She had fell down for 30,000 feet, yet the patch of grass next to her bore the trail of her hand, where she scratched to grip the earth one last time.
Song reminds me of that.
Fuck.
Wellll, that's definitely impossible... the amount of tumble that a 30,000 foot fall would create on impact would be unimaginable. There's no way in hell any kind of conscious effort to claw at the ground would be made after making a massive crater in the ground. Yes, I understand terminal velocity would attained far before the 30,000 feet mark, but the sheer near straight-down impact would eliminate any chance of survival. Air resistance would most likely also eliminate any forward velocity, bringing said person to a near complete plummet.
