  • Before we got signed to Capitol Records, we made this. We found amazing video footage of dance and war over the past 100 years and juxtaposed them chronologically.

    This song is probably the most nostalgic song of the early 2010s.
    Still sounds as extraordinary as It did back then.

    This video contains clips from the 1910s to the 2010s. So like a century of dancing and fighting squished into 3 minutes and 13 seconds of joy.

      Yet, it’s only just a minor spec in the much broader timeline of how long human beings have existed on this planet.
      Even comparing to how long human beings have existed, it’s nothing compared to how long other living organisms have lasted let alone the billions and billions of years Earth itself has existed. From an astronomical relativity perspective, human beings have evolved rapidly within just a short period of time on the vast cosmic timeline.

    Unequivocally one of the greatest music videos ever made. The contrast between the happy beautiful and absurd dancers and the raw terror of what we do to each other during the violence of war is such a simple profound message. We can dance lovingly one day and drop napalm on villagers the next.

    My life is in a state of upheaval at the moment. I found this song maybe 2 months ago and wanted to let my wife hear it but she was getting sicker by the day and ended up passing on Sept 11. Now i just listen to this over and over again. Sometimes smiling, many times crying, sometimes just numb. But, this song really carries me over the valley of despair. If you see this, Capital Cities, thank you! Life can be rough but good music can help heal us. Blessings!

    I think this video presents both sides of "humans". While one side is the accomplishment of joyous emotion, the other is dark misery and fear, This video shows that humans are capable of both, and that we can choose which one to accomplish.

      The contrasting scenes from every decade since WWI are really powerful.
      And the truth that we are NOT in fact "safe & sound" at all and have not been so for a very long time, yet still manage to live, love, and dance just fine.
      Or a more cynical view; our peace is bought with blood.

      Hydrogen wasn't the sole cause of the Hindenburg disaster (there was many other factors). Hydrogen was chosen because at the time helium was mostly stockpiled by the US and its allies. Remember this was in the times of Nazi Germany. Hydrogen was cheaper and provided as much if not more lift than helium did.

    In a tidal wave of mystery
    You'll still be standing next to me
    You could be my luck
    Even if we're six feet underground
    I know that we'll be safe and sound
    We're safe and sound

    I hate that this video was not considered the better option for official public release. This one is so much more meaningful and expressive and artistically coherent. This one contains ideas, information, and questions, an intellectual spark, and it covers so much real content on the benefits and costs of humanity.
    This video is a masterpiece. The official one is emotional masturbation.

    • @WeAreN1nja
      @WeAreN1nja 10 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      That's one way to interpret it. The way I see it, though, is a representation of the duality of human nature. The contrast between the verve, the life, the vitality and the beauty that we're capable of vs the death, destruction and sheer violence that we're infamous for... :(

    • @dwight750
      @dwight750 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I like that interpretation as well. The lyrics coupled with this video just pushes me toward mine. Just seems like America personified and its promising all these things, most importantly safety, if we support it, therein being "[it's] luck". This despite "the sky falling down", a "hurricane of rounds", a "title wave of mystery", and being "six feet underground", It continues to promise "we'll be safe and sound". Just a skeptic point of view though.

    Lo que entiendo en esta cancion es que a pesar de las guerras que ocurrieron, la guerra mundial, hitler, etc estamos sanos y salvos disfrutando de las cosas buenas de la vida y bailando felices de la vida, eso es maravilloso, da ganas de llorar :(

      +Leonardo Haward Es correcto porque a través de los años los conflictos mundiales dividen a la humanidad pero es a través de la música, los ritmos, los géneros musicales,de la danza, del baile de generación tras generación nos une como seres humanos y olvidamos aunque sea por un momento los problemas sociales, políticos, culturales y económicos del mundo.

      Estas equivocado, lo q se muestra en el vídeo es dar a conocer como uno o un grupo de personas hacer alegrar a otras personas y de lo muy bonito q puede ser, mientras q en el mismo video da a conocer como uno o un grupo de personas pueden destruir vidas y hacer preocupar ala humanidad, en conclusión tu estas acostado o acostada en tu casa mientras otros u otras están siendo asesinados, torturados, violadas mutiladas... la cruda realidad

    Iconic video; my interpetation is that it dipicts America's security. Abroad they establish power by means of war while at home the people can thrive in prosperity seen by the celebration and dancing; being unaware of the chaos that happens outside the US to keep them 'safe and sound'.
