Gehenna Countdowns; Best Music Video's

Best Music Video's
I like music that makes me think, and/or feel and so I feel the same way towards music video's. Generally a good video to me is a good story, well performed and that of course, fits with the song. Here is my countdown of the five best music video's ever.

5: Flobots - Handlebars
Displaying the bipolar natures of humans at their maximum. Handlebars pits our selfish, corporate and dominant side against our selfless, giving nurturing side, ending in the only plausible outcome. This, is handlebars by Flobots.


4: Foo Fighters - Breakout
The comic styling that we know and love Foo Fighters for is present in no other video more than Breakout. This is the song and video that got me into Foo Fighters in the first place. Foo Fighters, Breakout


3: Slipknot - Spit It Out
The vehement masked band here with the video to Spit It Out, directed by Clown this video manages to keep up with the fast pace of the song and and remain comedic and creepy. Slipknot's parody of The Shining, Spit It Out.


2: Pendulum - Slam
It is hard, very hard to make a great music video, but a fat guy dancing in the street is a sure fire way to do it ;) No more explanation needed, this is Pendulum, with Slam


1: Rammstein - Link 2 3 4
In my opinion the greatest music video of all time. Yes the animation may be pretty old by now but it is still an amazing video. I was stuck between either sonne, kein lust and this, though ultimately, Links was bound to take it. Here is Rammstein punching home their left wing views with Links, 2, 3, 4

Im Looking Through You - The Beatles (lyrics)

Im Looking Through You - Beatles


im looking through you
where did you go?
I thought I knew you
what did I know?
you don't look different
but you have changed
im looking through you
you're not the same

your lips are moving
I can not hear
your voice is soothing
but the words aren't clear
you don't sound different
I've learned the game
im looking through you
you're not the same

why tell me why did you not treat me right?
love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
you're thinking of me
the same old way
you were above me
but not today
the only difference is you're down there
im looking through you
and you're nowhere

why tell me why did you not treat me right?
love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
im looking through you
where did you go?
I thought I knew you
what did I know?
you don't look different
but you have changed
im looking through you
you're not the same

yeah
oh baby you changed
ahh im looking through you
yeah
im looking through you

Same Thing - Flobots (lyrics)

Same Thing - Flobots
fight with tools


somewhere between prayer and revolution
between Jesus and Huey P.Newton
that's where ya find johnny five shoot shooting
water guns at the audience while you're scooting
your glutinous max to the fact that he's tooting
on the horn
gonna warn you that im routing
for the other team in the culture wars
so I stab the beast's belly as the vulture snores
 yo Joe let it blow with convulsive force
till' walls fall off their false supports
till' Jericho's aircraft carriers alter cause
 and all brave young Americans are called to shore
cos we already lost the war
they keep waging
splattering the streets and battles keep raging
bloodying each page in the story that we're studying
each day the same just the names keep changing

(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been all over the globe on our government funds
leaving man woman and child dead bloody and numb
(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
democratically elected but we didn't approve

(how many times can the line divide?)
(how many wars to uphold your pride?)
(these fears uncontrolled just swell the tide)
(of blood in the streets while the people die)
(im a keep on trying)
(long as suffering is multiplying)
(and why not?)
(these souls getting tossed and left out to rot)
(my back's broad enough to help lift your cross)
(as long as you help with mine)
(the process of healing will take some time)
(to see the pain in your face is the same as mine)
(it's not a game over race but the stake's are high)
(we maintain our mistakes for the sake of sides)
(as long as it takes, I say it one more time)
(as long as it takes, I say it one more time)
(as long as it takes, I say it one more time)

(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been all over the globe on our government funds
leaving man woman and child dead bloody and numb
(saying the same things over again )
(repeating the same slogans we don't know where we been)
we've been overthrowing leaders with legitimate views
democratically elected but we didn't approve

(same thing)
U.S is not us
(same thing)
and us is not we
(same thing)
and we are not satisfied
(same thing)
and we're tired of the same thing
(same thing)
and we're ready to make change
(same thing)
are we ready to make change?

we want money for health care
and public welfare
(free Mumia)
and Leonard Peltier
human needs not corporate greeds
drop the debt
and legalized weed (and legalized weed)
we say yes
to grass routes organization
no
to neoliberal globalisation 
bring the troops back to the USA
and shut down Guantanamo bay

who let em overthrow Jacobo Arbenz?
who let em overthrow Mohamed Mosaddeq?
who let em assassinate Salvadore Allende?
(I didn't let em but they did it, anyway)
who let em overthrow Kwame Nkrumah?
who let em overthrow Aristide?
who let em assasinate Oscar Romero?
(I did a letter but they did it indeed)
but don't let them assassinate Hugo Chaves
don't let them assassinate Evo Morales
and brick back Martin, Malcolm, Medgar, Hampton, Scwarner, Goodman, Cheney

(saying the same things over again )

Back When I Was Four - Jeffrey Lewis (lyrics)

Back When I Was Four - Jeffrey Lewis

back when I was four
and I knew the name of every dinosaur
I knew how to read rom comic books
my baby sitter said I was really smart
when the lights went out
everything changed
and the radio music made me feel strange
and I had a real bad dream about a gorilla in the bathroom

and back when I was six
I took everything real serious
I thought every song that came on the radio
was referring to strange sexual acts
because they thought I wouldn't know the facts
and being small is hard I know
and no one tells you how

and back when I was eight
I would sit outside on an old mill crate
and look out at the world from the stoop across the street
the boom boxes and the hot concrete
and every Halloween they hung a million rubber skeletons across ninth street

and back when I was twelve or so
I swear to god I've never felt so low
everyone but me was making out and eating cookies
I had more than my brain could stand
I threw my life in a garbage can
 I felt so weird I had to disappear
in crying suicide disease

and at fifteen getting stoned felt good
and it sent me back to childhood
and nothing ever mattered to me more than that

but then sixteen became eclipse
my brain became apocalypse
I was lost and found and I never been the same

 and back when I was twenty two
I left the best thing that I knew
and I gave it all up for fortune and for fame
I played like I didn't know how
I shocked the world I wowed the crowd
but I deserved more than what they gave

and back when I was twenty seven
still nothing had been forgiven
clay turns into rock and rock just sits
so sitting on a crowded beach
I would pretend I was a leech
and I'd stick to thing here and there for a little bit

and back when I was thirty one
I knew I'd become what I'd become
nothing left to reveal and there was nowhere left to turn
so shocked and withered 
dumb and bitter and in need of a baby sitter
I'd gladly let my hand fall off and burn, burn, burn

back when I turned the big four-O
I realized how much there was to go
and I figured being alone forever wasn't where it was at
so I took my head out of the window and taught myself how to love real fast
I started talking about painting with the woman in the laundromat

and back when I was fifty 
and my first wife had just left me
I felt okay and I sang my daughter funny little songs
and just when I thought the best was past
I fell in love for real at last
and it didn't even matter that it had taken me so long

and back when I was sixty three
the public rediscovered me
all my comic books and albums had all become rare cult collectors items
and both my parents were diciest
so I didn't see my records get re-released
 and I got a dog for the first time in my life

and back when I was seventy four
my dog died and I got two more
I still felt really good about my daughter and also my girlfriend
and I would sing and draw a little bit
but mostly I would wake up early and sit
and hang out with the puppies and wish that I could live forever

and back when I was eighty seven and my grandson had just turned eleven
my woman was dead and my dogs were getting pretty old
my body didn't work quiet like it should
but overall things were pretty good
I was getting decent royalties from the reissued comic books and records

and back when I was
one hundred and six
my only friend
was one goldfish
everyone I ever knew was dead and gone
and the goldfish never had a name
and the neighbors thought
I was insane
and I flushed it down the toilet when I saw it floating upside down

and back when I was one hundred and twenty eight
I'd sit outside on an old mill crate
and look out at the world from the stoop across the street
the boom boxes and the hot concrete 
and every Halloween they hung
a million rubber skeletons across ninth street
and every Halloween they hung
a million rubber skeletons
every Halloween they hung
a million rubber skeletons
every Halloween they hung
a million rubber skeletons

Engel (Extended Version) - Rammstein (lyrics + translation)

Engel (Extended Version) - Rammstein
kein engel

wer zu lebzeit gut auf erden - who in their life is good on earth
wird nach dem tod ein engel werden - will become an angel after death
den blick gen himmel fragst du dan - you look to the sky and question why
warum man sie nicht sehen kann - no one can see them
 
erst wen die wolken schlafengehen - just as the clouds have gone to sleep
kann man uns am himmel sehn - angels can be seen in heaven
wir haben angst und sind allein - we are afraid and alone
gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die

sie leben hinterm sonnenschein - they live behind the sunshine
getrennt von uns unendlich weit - separated from us, beyond the sky
sie mussen sich an sterne krallen - they must cling to the stars
(ganz fest) - (very tightly)
damit sie nicht vom himmel fallen - so they wont fall from heaven

erst wen die wolken schlafengehen - just as the clouds have gone to sleep
kann man uns am himmel sehn - angels can be seen in heaven
wir haben angst und sind allein - we are afraid and alone
gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die

gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die
gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die

[instrumental]

erst wen die wolken schlafengehen - just as the clouds have gone to sleep
kann man uns am himmel sehn - angels can be seen in heaven
wir haben angst und sind allein - we are afraid and alone
gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die

gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die
gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die
gott weis ich will kein engel sein - goddamn not an angel when I die
