    Re: the priests' concerns: This video came out at a very dark time in my life, and it helped me through being a single parent while my wife was deployed to Afghanistan. It brought tears to my eyes then, and it does still. I can assure you it did not bring shame to God. Quite the contrary. ❤

      This song still moves me in the same way - every time. Very different reasons though; it just goes to show the power of words & music.

      Came here to make a similar statement. When this video came out it was near the beginning of an increasingly difficult time in my family's life as well. And it was one of many songs I came back to over and over again to help get me through. Plus, I'm an old marching band member myself and I always appreciate a good marching band video. And God absolutely approves of everything about this performance

    I love the behind the scenes facts!
    This was over 14 years ago, so there are now fully grown adults living with the fact that they could have been in an OK Go video if they’d been more patient as kids. A wild fact to consider

    • @CymruLlewes
      @CymruLlewes 14 дней назад +4

      And that 14 years ago explains why they weren't using a drone. (Yeah, I always expect OK GO to have the latest technology.)

      @screamingblackhole 9 дней назад

      I was thinking the exact same thing. I personally don’t have a lot of regretful memories that keep me up at night but if I were one of those kids that missed out on the chance to be associated with such a wondrous and well-regarded piece of history… Gosh, that would kill me.

    I'd ABSOLUTELY give up my fall break at University to be immortalized in an OK Go video... even if I was dressed as a "swamp monster."
    You're videos represent an era of the internet I sorely miss; when the goal was almost entirely about creativity and makin' cool stuff for others to enjoy. I miss that very much.

    • @c0rr4nh0rn

      We need to start being more creative as individuals and bring those times back. I truly don't believe that everything has already been done. There is still unique art left to be made. Maybe we're all the ones who need to make it? Just a thought...

      @@VampFaye It isn't that everything has been done, the social contract has changed and music videos don't fit in today's attention economy anymore. Apparently TikToks still do. And I am afraid RUclips's urge to push everything under 3 minutes into a vertical short will cripple the situation even further.

    I played this song on repeat when it came out and shared it with my friend who was battling brain cancer. She then played it on repeat, often while walking up a steep hill during her daily walk. During this time she found her spiritual home, a Buddhist temple (in an old Baptist church) that served a local immigrant community. She was one of a handful of English speakers who went to evening services.
    She made it clear that she wanted this song played at her funeral. And the Buddhist priests honored that. And so, they paused the chanting and the bells and played this song ... WAY too loud, because they hadn't done a sound check ... The temple was packed, and I had to find a seat amongst strangers. So yeah. This song is sacred music. And will as often as not get me sobbing. Full on ugly crying.
    Thank you for it.

    Thank you for the joy, inspiration and creativity. I’ve been a fan for less than a month when MTV first came out. I was so disappointed in those videos. The ones that I had in my head were much better than those music videos about guys and skimpily clad women. Not that I’m approved, but they were just very uncreative. I was watching a cool video with Jain singing Makeba and my husband walked in and said “you should check out OK Go. I saw them at Rams Head Live and they did this really neat thing with treadmills.” I was very soon delighted impressed and inspired. Also, sorry that I missed that Rams head live concert! Anyway, thanks for sharing your stuff and your behind the scenes, and all of your postings on RUclips. actually, I probably miss that concert because I’m chronically ill. It takes a little extra inspiration and joy to keep going sometimes and you sure help with that. Thank You many times over and PS I loved the ghillie suits.

    I’m sure fans of the band know this, but there’s another version of this song which is an absolute MUST SEE VIDEO!! It involved a warehouse and dozens of MIT engineering students who worked with the band for weeks setting up one of the all greatest Rube Goldberg Machines you’ve ever seen. It’s easily one of the coolest videos I’ve ever seen. 🤓

    Is God ashamed? Well, as I read Genesis 1, God not only delighted in his creation, but also in his act of creating good things, and he created man in his image (to also create). Think of God's act of creating, as showing of his glory, and we can give him glory by our own acts of creating good things. And this song is definitely an act of good creation. :-D And we get to give you glory for your display of creation with our praise! (Maybe a bit theological, but hey... that's how I read Genesis 1)
