I cannot thank you all enough for taking the time to watch, re-watch, and comment on this short I made back in film school 20 years ago. It's incredible. Most importantly, thank you Godspeed for making such beautiful and affecting music.
well think of how your favorite places were then their torn away or die.. I loved the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and its all done and burned out but it's memories will at least live on in my mind..
really great interpretation of "They don't". GYBE always conveyed really strong feelings through their music and field recordings. this video does em proud.
Development on Coney Island has always been controversial. When the first structures were built around the 1840s, there was an outcry to prevent any development on the island and preserve it as a natural park. Starting in the early 1900s, the City of New York made efforts to condemn all buildings and piers built south of Surf Avenue. It was an effort to reclaim the beach which by then had almost completely been built over with bath houses, clam bars, amusements, and other structures. The local amusement community opposed the city. Eventually a settlement was reached where the beach did not begin until 1,000 feet (300 m) south of Surf Avenue, the territory marked by a city-owned boardwalk, while the city would demolish any structures that had been built over public streets, to reclaim beach access.
if you listen to Set Fire to Flames, lyingdyingwonderbody, who is apparently the same person, is homeless, depressed, dislikes politicians, has served time in prison and was once kicked in the head by a horse. He also praises the band saying that "they know the truth and will set them free". he's a pure down and outer, like BBFIII.
The corrosive persistence of time. Unforgiving, fair, and unprejudiced. Every eukaryotic being on this Earth has endured it, and one day it will do away with all of us. L'île de Coney était le endroit de jouer du monde. Il n'y était pas autre endroit comme île coney quand j'étais un jeune garçon. Et, je me sens trés mal. Mais, des gens de tout le monde a venu ici. Mais, regarde, tout a changé, d'accord? Ils ne dorment plus sur la plage
And here we are today.. hearts are breaking for the lives lost and left behind.. and by ... a broken world. Lost by death in spirit, soul, livelihood .. and the list keeps growing. Somewhere there are pockets of purity. Its still amongst us. Somewhere. Like this treasure. 2020 has been a rogue wave. I hope you are well.
A sad but true commentary on the IMPROVEMENTS made here in New York City, a shame Coney Island wasnt given landmark status a longgggg time ago so the MUTANTS couldnt get a hold of it!
jesus dude, it's been over a decade and you probably never use this account anymore or are in a completely different part of your life, I was only 5 when you first commented that. what improvements have been done since then?
So was this a field recording Godspeed made? Or did they take it from a doc? If it’s a field recording, just wow. Lift your skinny fists is deffo my fav album from them.

It breaks me when it sounds like he's going to cry at the end.

Does anyone else notice that the last line is really, really sad?
It is.That is why it should be the last
With all the shit going on in each passing year, it just makes me more and more sad each time I hear it...
Last line physically hurts me every damn time.
Love it.
Its funny, anytime I hear this I imagine he's in Coney Island speaking, when it's much more likely he's just in a park

@@DrTiggy666 Hi there.
another godspeed fan who goes by tiggy that’s wild
Thank you!
@@extension23It's really cool how you're still active on the channel 17 years later!
I get that feeling….. when the nostalgia is too much to bear…. And the extra sting of knowing you can never go back….
Between this and "East hasting",Gybe! really understood the emotive power of words.

The song represents loss in so many ways. Really amazing.

what makes you say they're the same person? i never got that impression myself
same place, different person
things change.
the fact that zamperla have revitalized coney so much in the last 10 years makes me unreasonably happy

Holy crap 11 years ago. A lot of improvements in NYC since your comment
jesus dude, it's been over a decade and you probably never use this account anymore or are in a completely different part of your life, I was only 5 when you first commented that. what improvements have been done since then?
I'm glad NYC no longer has a mutant problem
Crippled Black Phoenix' Bastogne Blues' narrator is Murray Ostril, too?
I need to know who's Murray Ostril.
So was this a field recording Godspeed made? Or did they take it from a doc?
If it’s a field recording, just wow.

Pretty sure it’s some random guy gsybe recorded. If it’s truly a field recording it may be the best ever. So powerful.
