Grizzly Bear Music Video

I don't know if you have had the pleasure of seeing this music video before but it is absolutely amazing! I don't think clay has ever made me so uncomfortable and intrigued. The combination of still images in the opening and intermixed throughout the video gives a very un easy and ungrounded perspective that is only further developed when all of the characters morph and turn into things that are unpredictable. I can't take my eyes off of the blending colors and my mind wants, or even needs, to know what's going to happen next.

 Grizzly Bears seems to always push the envelope when it comes to music videos which I think is wonderful. They always seem to have some refreshing perspective on a way to reiterate the tonality and content of their music. I love them as musicians but after seeing their music videos I respect them more as people.

Lyrics:

I’m gonna take a stab at this
Surely we’ll be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
And when I shuffled on back home
I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone
Tissue and bone it was a tryst
This isn’t a gunfight
Checking it off of my list
Unable to write
Five years, countless months and a loan

Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

::vocalizing::

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did
