...trudging into the distance in the bleeding stinking mad shadow of Jesus...the Lord out of dust had created him, had made him blood and nerve and mind, had made him to bleed and weep and think, and set him in a world of loss and fire... --Flannery O'Connor

"This Too Shall Pass"
If you haven't seen it yet, here is OK Go's new video sensation: Their song This Too Shall Pass. It really is one of the most remarkable things I've seen:
And I like the lyrics as well:
You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around. If there ain't all that much to lug around, Better run like hell when you hit the ground.
When the morning comes. When the morning comes.
You can't stop these kids from dancin'. Why would you want to? Especially when you're already gettin' yours. 'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend, well don't go blamin' the kids again.
When the morning comes. When the morning comes.
When the morning comes. When the morning comes.
When the morning comes. When the morning comes.
Let it go, this too shall pass. Let it go, this too shall pass.
Let it go, this too shall pass. (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down. No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
Let it go, this too shall pass. (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down. No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
Hey!
Let it go, this too shall pass. (You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down. No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
When the morning comes. (You can't keep lettin' it get you down. You can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
When the morning comes. (You can't keep lettin' it get you down. No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
When the morning comes. (You can't keep lettin' it get you down. You can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
When the morning comes. (You can't keep lettin' it get you down. No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down.)
OK-GO have a habit of making good videos, but with poor tracks behind them. The "music-video" is definately their number one marketing tool. I supposes videos have become their point-of-difference in the saturated "pop rock" market.
Shame they don't invest as much creative effort into their music as they do their visuals...

I thought it was a cool song.
ReplyDeleteThat was just FUN. Thanks for posting :)
I kinda liked the music for "Here It Goes Again" -- that was the treadmill video song. Good rock sound, I thought.
