      Can you please explain to me what is this line means at the context of the song? I’m not an English speaking person and I’m afraid that I can’t get it not because of metaphor but because of bad language knowing and bad understanding of the whole lyrics of the song

    • @JB-pi9mf

      @@sibkhan2364 So the lines before are "oh these three worn words, that we whisper, like the rubbing hands of tourists in Verona". In Verona there is a statue of Juliet, and an old legend states that rubbing the statue brings your relationship good luck. Sadly, the rubbing hands of so many tourists desperate to bless their relationship have eroded the statue, and now access is restricted. So the message is those three worn words (3ww) of "I love you" are said so often and potentially insincerely in order to force a relationship to work, maybe out of pressure, like the desperation to rub the statue, and have ruined the meaning like this erosion. Thus the lead singer wants to "love him/her in his own language", free from the outside pressure, clichéd ways and desperation to make the relationship work. Something meaningful to him and them.

    3WW= Three Worn Words
    The 3 words= I LOVE YOU
    Why worn? Because people tend to overuse it and some don't even truly mean it.
    "I Just want to love you in my own language" makes his expression of his love to her/him more personal and truer and more purer.
    My take:)

    I think the video is about grievance. So at the beginning, the whole village and family are carrying the coffin and then there's a small group of people carrying her and then ultimately its just the man and his donkey, then just the man. I think this represents how over time, less and less people are grieving for her but her assumed lover in the story continues to grieve. I think the wolves represent people telling him to get over it and move on and the donkey represents his sanity which is broken by the wolves. He continues to try and push on but the grief that he is literally carrying on his back is too much for him and it results in his suicide. I'm probably completely off but that's just what I took from it. Fuck alt j is beautiful. Like a Mexican Romeo and Juliet

    El protagonista lleva el cadáver de su amada atravesando un Páramo, primero con un caballo y luego es atacado por una jauría de lobos. No le queda mas remedio que llevar en sus espaldas el ataúd, se derrengara pero llevara la preciada carga a un sitio seguro. El esfuerzo termina por matarlo, y en un acto de belleza suprema la muerta lo entierra a él. Esto sin lugar a dudas es Rulfo. Cuando Pedro Páramo muere sentado en su equipal añorando a Susana San Juan, es Damiana quien ya muerta le toca los hombros, y Pedro Páramo le contesta:" ya voy". También en la novela Juan Preciado es enterrado por muertos. El video es una cosa bellísima.

    Here's the Lyric:
    "3WW"
    (feat. Ellie Rowsell)
    [Gus Unger-Hamilton:]
    There was a wayward lad
    Stepped out one morning
    The ground to be his bed
    The sky his awning
    [Joe Newman:]
    Neon, neon, neon
    A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
    Can't surround so you lean on, lean on
    So much your heart's become fond of this
    [Joe Newman + Gus Unger-Hamilton:]
    Oh, these three worn words
    Oh, that we whisper
    Like the rubbing hands
    Of tourists in Verona
    I just want to love you in my own language
    [Joe Newman:]
    Well, that smell of sex
    Good like burning wood
    The wayward lad laid claim
    To two thirsty girls from Hornsea
    Who left a note when morning came
    [Ellie Rowsell:]
    Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi)
    The road erodes at five feet per year
    Along England's east coastline
    Was this your first time?
    Love is just a button we pressed
    Last night by the campfire
    [Joe Newman + Ellie Rowsell:]
    Oh, these three worn words
    Oh, that we whisper
    Like the rubbing hands
    Of tourists in Verona
    I just want to love you in my own language

      It's supposed to be describing the feelings that go within loving someone. It also seems to be implying in this song that the man in question had a three-way with two girls, who left him by the next day, only leaving a note. The whole song is just describing a campfire night out with a man and two women who happen to all have sex together. However, in the misic video, it makes the lyrics seem more deep than that, that it's more about the whole concept of love and the emotions and experiences that come with it. The music video is displaying a sort of Romeo and Juliet story, if you remember in Romeo and Juliet, Juliet fakes her own death with a priest, so she can visit her Romeo, who was banished. However, Romeo never got word of her plans, and visited her corpse, commiting suicide on her deathbed, and Juliet does the same when she wakes up. It seems like with this Romeo and Juliet, he already knew of her plans, which is why he steals her away from the people burying her. But in the end, after she awakens, she finds her Romeo dead by her deathbed.

    4:39 - 5:27 I love this part, partially because it's different from the rest of the song, but also because it embodies the man's feelings so well. The slow, subtly skewed tune embodies the frustration, tiredness, and haze of the mind the man must be experiencing, carrying this heavy coffin under the hot sun with dogs attacking him at the end.

    Today i got a new interpretation on this... when the girl takes off the plant it’s a metaphor for an old saying we have in brazil that tells us that when we are suffering we have to “cut the evil from its roots”: in spite of the bigger Pain when we do this, later it will be better. The man carrying the coffin is a metaphor for us carrying the Weight and the pain of a loved one or a relationship that’s already dead, until the Point it gets so unbearable that he dies too - his feelings are gone. When he does this, he liberates the girl - now she’s free. It’s like in the end he gets to the same point where she was when she initially decided to end the relationship “cutting the evil from its roots.” Anyone gets that too?

Y bueno, seguramente ya lo habrán comentado pero la "bruja" encargada de preparar el ololiuhqui es María Sabina, quien fue visitada por artistas, científicos y antropólogos en los 60's, debido a su basto conocimiento y experiencia y rituales en este alucinógeno. .

      The "rubbing hands of tourists in Verona" are those on the breasts of Juliet's statue in Verona. Now, we know alt-J are influenced by literature and films, so there can be more influences on this song. But the myth of Romeo and Juliet is definitely beyond the lines of the song.

      Juliána Horváthová Death pervades the entire novel, both in a literal and figurative sense. Literally, it is death that both incites the main action and complicates the protagonist's quest; his mother dies and asks him to find his father, and he soon discovers his father is dead as well. Juan is led into Comala byAbundio's ghost. The reader learns later that Abundio is the person who murdered Pedro. Comala is a ghost town, having been deserted by the exodus of rural villagers to the cities following the revolution. In Comala, Juan meets several ghosts and hears the persistent murmurs of others - including his mother. Halfway through the novel, when Pedro Páramo dies sitting in his equipment longing for Susana San Juan, Damiana, who already dead, touches his shoulders and Pedro answers "I'm going". Juan dies but he still continues to narrate from his grave. Death is not final in Comala; the dead wander their purgatory hoping for absolution. The questions of memory and nostalgia also echo this sense of death in that they also concern the passing on of life.

      @rengganis21 7 лет назад +22

      In my thought, after seeing this video, yes, It was exactly about magical realism.. But I see it more like Indian' wisdom n ritual stuff.. The roots that she pulled out at the beginning was a hallucinogenic cactus called peyote which will use to separate the "dead girl's" soul from her body (cuz she asked "will it hurt?" while holding the root). That's why she's not actually dead. She's just experiencing a ritual called "separate reality" by consumed those roots, which made her alive in "another reality" (becoming bird - look at the raven at the coffin - or etc) This ritual oftenly done by persons who need to free their spirits from conflicts, to find peacefulnes, to contemplate, or seeking some values of life.. U also have to read "The Teachings of Don Juan" by Carlos Castaneda to understand more about it :p

Personally I'd rather my person know that I love them, there should be no doubt in their mind I'm always acting in the loving intentions of my heart regardless who the person is. Why cant we all just love each other? I see the snakes in peoples eyes dance....when they see their opportunity to strike. Everybody strives for something, but if we put our selfish reptilian wants aside and did selfless acts of kindness in our every single interaction, we all could prosper....thrive....not just struggle trying to survive....society, government, childhood programming the old system wont work anymore. For snakes, people dont shed their skin so well I'm tired of the cobwebs from all the lies the spinners spun. It's the rise of a new sun, a new day. We gotta go in with a fresh approach leaving everything we once knew behind. Not forgetting but moving forward in stride with our purpose. When these people gonna rise with me? When's this crowd gonna stand with me like a forest's of redwoods? They're letting Gaia's forests burn and for what? We ain't gonna be silent. The truth bombs will rain justice on the unrighteous

Loving someone in a way that is private, personal, and full of feeling. Rather than referring to a language such as English, Farsi, or Spanish, it refers to the language of one's heart. Loving someone in your own language means loving them in the purest way possible, without an ounce of contrivance or deception. Its the language that comes straight out of your heart, with no filter of shame, fear, or cynicism. I hope this helps, and I appreciate the question!

    Es imperdonable distanciarse de la literatura nuestra. Veo el video, leo los comentarios, y por supuesto recuerdo Pedro Páramo... y todo Rulfo. Mientras lo veía recordaba también todo lo que me hizo sentir el "¡Ah pues!... se murió como un pajarito" de Gallegos en Cantaclaro (con el inevitable nudo en la garganta). Y me abrumó la cantidad de magia y tristeza que tiene nuestra literatura, toda la belleza de nuestra literatura. Es triste olvidarse de eso, o dejarla a un lado porque el trabajo es mucho y no siempre tiene que ver, o porque hay que leer a Joyce, a Tolkien o lo que sea, nada más que para entrenar un idoma. Caigo de nuevo en lo primero y lo personalizo: no me perdono distanciarme de mi literatura, de nuestra literatura. Y ahora tengo unas ganas enormes de leérmelo todo, de nuevo y no. Gracias, Alt-J, por esto...

      @@Honeylollipops Though Bullet Time is a possible method, I'm pretty that most of the shots in the video are just very still actors and practical effects like wires. Traditional Bullet Time is impossible for shots like the one that starts 1:26 since multiple cameras would capture other cameras. It could potentially be done with a super high fps camera and fast camera tracking but that's unlikely to be the sole method. You can also spot some of the actors slightly moving such as the middle-right candle holding lady at 1:36 and the man to the far right that appears at 1:40 . CGI is probably used also such as the birds at 1:45 or floating rocks at 5:08. (Plus high-fps paired with fast camera tracking also helps)

    The ground to be his bed
    The sky his awning
    Neon, neon, neon
    A blue neon lamp in a midnight country field
    Can't surround so you lean on, lean on
    So much your heart's become fond of this
    Oh, these three worn words
    Oh, let me whisper like the rubbing hands
    Of tourists in Verona
    I just want to love you in my own language
    Well, that smell of sex
    Good like burning wood
    The wayward lad laid claim
    To two thirsty girls from Hornsea
    Who left a note when morning came
    Girls from the pool say "Hi" (hi)
    The road erodes at five feet per year
    Along England's east coastline
    Was this your first time?
    Love is just a button we pressed
    Last night by the campfire
    Oh, these three worn words
    Oh, that we whisper like the rubbing hands
    Of tourists in Verona
    I just want to love you in my own language

    This is the Mexico Rural, que hermosas imágenes en blanco y negro, sin duda una obra de arte.

    Acabo de descubriros!! Fantástico vídeo. Esta tarde os he escuchado en Radio 3 en España y me ha fascinado vuestro sonido. Me ha impresionado también vuestro vídeo. Muy cuidado, muy fotográfico.

    Que buenos comentarios de gente de mi país hay en este video.
    Realmente espero que ALT+J sea una de esas bandas que marque generaciones!
