He is actually really good. They seem like regular kids. I met most of them. Don't understand why they aren't bigger. The kid really has a Nirvana vibe with Matt being a perfect Dave.
Anyone else cry watching the music video for the first time? Hit right in the feels, felt so bad for the dragon. Hurt my heart when the general noticed the cute little statue and he drops his cigarette in shock.
i like a lot the video because it shows how do we misunderstand another people or even the way of the animals act. all of should learn to understand each others and life in peace !! :D
This video is so true, it shows how people are so quick to assume the worst about things and end up destroying the hopes and dreams of others. We are a sad species in that way.
QuickShepard I honestly didn't give two shits about Jack or Roses fictional asses, so yeah, pretty much. The actual story of the Titanic is pretty sad, but the Romeo and Juliet knockoffs can kiss my ass.
I love all of their music, and out of all their songs, this one is just different. It has a different tone that is perfectly captured. I love Cage the Elephant oh my god.
I saw Cage the Elephant in concert at the Antones back in 2011 or 2012. Still to the this day the best concert I have ever seen! Small venue and they used every bit of the space. Crowd surfed all over.
You guys are not going to believe it, i been searching for this video eleven years, i finally got the correct words, this is one of the best videos i ever seen, my sister and I cried when we saw it, we never found it again, this is so sad, strong, and special in a weird way for us. this is such an amazing video of course the music is so fricking good to.
NO SIR YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS I HAVE TOO I SAW IT ON MTV 10 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS 11 AND IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT EVER SINCE NO ONE IVE TALKED TO KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT DUDE THIS PUTS ONE OF MY OLD KID DREAMS TO REST
I will not cry over a play dough dragon. I will not cry over a play dough dragon. I will not cry over a play dough dragon. I will not cry over a play dough dragon. I will not cry over a play dough dragon. I will not cry over a play dough dragon. *CRIES*
I just showed this to my very compassionate little sister. The last time I saw her cry that hard was when she got pissed at Rose for not letting Jack up onto that piece of wreckage in the Titanic.
I ended a very complicated relationship with someone overreactive, jealous, oppresive, yet all giving, loving, splendid, who doesn't really have anyone else to turn now... no family or friends. It gives a new meaning to this song... and makes me feel like the general in the video, I must admit.
You were a hundred percent correct this was about someone who has borderline personality disorder. The Love never felt so intense the passions have never been more present in any relationship you've ever been in since. The borderline is a magic fairy with a rocket launcher that specifically designed in order to go off whenever they get upset. It's one of the most tragic things I've seen
The dragon in the video is a good metaphor for someone with BPD. Desperately needing someone to love, while simultaneously hurting loved ones around them. I don't think they purposely hurt others around them, it's a defense mechanism they developed into a personality disorder caused from childhood. That also doesn't mean the person with BPD has no accountability for their actions though.
+Trippze THW DRAGON DIDNT MEAN TO KILL ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE HE WAS JUST TRYING TO FIT IN AND NOBODY ACCEPTED HIM FOR WHO HE WAS AND THEY KILLED HIM THATS WHAT HAPPENED YA BUTT
Cats Dogs oh, well if it crushed your whole family on accident, you'd forgive it? stfu nerd, live in reality. IDC if it's trying to fit in, if it kills hundred of people trying to fit in, it deserves to die.
Goodness. This explained exactly what's going on in my life right now with this boy. I feel like I've done something bad to him when all I've done is be myself but he perceives it as me hurting him. I'm crushed. I pray at the very end of it all he will see me correctly.
i saw this video playing at Journey’s when i was like 7 and it stuck with me ever since, seeing the creature get blown to pieces. Also the song sounded like distortion and screams, never knew the song until the idea of it popped in my head a few days ago
+Isac what happened was he picked up a car to wave to the person inside and say hi, they jumped out of the car and went SPLAT on the ground so the dragon steps back in shock and steps on a dog and knocks over a water tower thing. all because that one person jumped out of their car. although he should have atleast waited a few years before trying again after thst.
[Verse 1] I been trying real hard to, to realize But some things take a long, long, long, long time Long time [Chorus] Hold the phone, hit repeat Got me foamin' at the knees Saw the flame, tasted sin You burn me once again Cut the cord, she's a creep Aberdeen! Way back, way back, way back! [Verse 2] Never saw my dark side in-in your eyes Back and forth, bloody fingers painting up the sky The sky [Chorus] Hold the phone, hit repeat Got me foamin' at the knees Saw the flame, tasted sin But you burn me once again Cut the cord, she's a creep Aberdeen! Way back, way back, way back! [Instrumental break] Hey! Hey! Hey! Ooh, ooh [Chorus] Hold the phone, hit repeat Got me foamin' at the knees Saw the flame, tasted sin You burn me once again Cut the cord, she's a creep Aberdeen! Aberdeen! Way back, way back, way back! [Outro] Way back, way back, way back! Way back, way back, way back Way back, way back, way back Way back, way back, way back (Ooh, ooh)
Same.. nostalgic for a time i didn’t even exist in. This song definitely has a 90s alt rock sort of feel, but is apart of our time for us to claim and enjoy. And Aberdeen is where Cobain was from!
I've been tryin real hard... To realize But somethings take a long long Long long time (a long time) [Chorus] Hold the phone Hit repeat You got me foamin at the knees Saw the flame tasted sin You burned me once again Cut the cord, she's a creep ABERDEEEEN Way back [x3] Never saw my dark side In, in your eyes Back and forth bloody fingers Paintin up the sky The sky [Repeat Chorus x2]
I love you. I've been following you since I was in middle school. I was around when people said "who's that?" When you mentioned cage the elephant. You've always kept your original style. You will always be my favorite.
Yeah this is one of my favorite songs and if I have a kid I want to name them Aberdeen but if they find this video I don't want them to feel the way I do listening to it,sad and nostalgic
I remember first seeing this on the old vh1 amtv and getting really sad and not going to school because of it. I'm happy I just heard them on Jimmy Kimmel Live and remember the song. Ahhhhh, the memories and the feels.
+Mark Houdini (Errorlypse) lol yes so be the mellow friendly you then that easy enough and just try and make conversation just avoid saying anything too unrelated or controversial right away.
+Steve Douglas no bud that's not how it works . some of us can be ourselves and not socialize much at all in years. its terrible. humans need human interaction we see ourselves as some high beings but really we have natural desires like any other creature

I never thought I would deeply relate to a clay animation dragon but here I am.

yeah man, if I had a penny for every time I accidentally murdered someone with the intention of becoming friends..
I know so sad
Keep Quiet same what has my life come to
Kira Spam you killed a girl you like and then had the military go after you? same bro
The little shaking/trembling in his voice makes this a masterpiece.
It’s quite excellent.
Matt is incredibly talented
He is actually really good. They seem like regular kids. I met most of them. Don't understand why they aren't bigger. The kid really has a Nirvana vibe with Matt being a perfect Dave.
1:03 AND MOTHER OF THE YEAR REWARD GOES TO-
I was waiting for this comment oml
Anyone else cry watching the music video for the first time? Hit right in the feels, felt so bad for the dragon. Hurt my heart when the general noticed the cute little statue and he drops his cigarette in shock.
I love the song but I can't watch the video because it makes me so damn sad everytime
same but it brings back some awesome feelings of when I first heard it, like a euphoric nostalgia yeah?
I love it!
i like a lot the video because it shows how do we misunderstand another people or even the way of the animals act. all of should learn to understand each others and life in peace !! :D
Hard to live in peace when you're being murdered by a giant dragon XD.
+dman9494 God shut the up
I watched this a long time ago and I remember crying and I come back and my bitch ass still has a few tears.
also this kind of reminds me of Harambe.
#dixout4harambe
hello nasty ..... I'm hipppppp
Jesus, that ending always feels like a punch to the gut...
Kniroid the dragon felt it like a rocket launcher to the face
im getting a tattoo in memory of this lonely misunderstood creature.
@Lauchlan Music i hope he did🐉🐉
Oh hell yeah- mind if i "BoRrOw" your idea??
i love that
Thanks for the tattoo inspiration in the future
Hold on Cage the Elephant, I can't feel that fast.
Kerchow
felt that i force myself to cry so that i feel real
This video is so true, it shows how people are so quick to assume the worst about things and end up destroying the hopes and dreams of others. We are a sad species in that way.
It wasn't on purpose though. They made it out as wanton slaughter when the people put themselves in bad positions in the first place.
Dark Link Stephen so if a person just kills 4 guys by accident that person shouldnt be punished at all?
I'm not saying that. He should be punished, but violent murder was unnecessary.
It's not because the monster 'killed' people the points just to make him seem like something he's not to the people.

Dude everyone has to admit this is sadder than Titanic
QuickShepard I honestly didn't give two shits about Jack or Roses fictional asses, so yeah, pretty much.
The actual story of the Titanic is pretty sad, but the Romeo and Juliet knockoffs can kiss my ass.
yup so sad
Titanic made you sad? I thought it was funny even as a kid lol
@@doitytoothtony5656 You must be an absolute mad lad then.
Everybofy's gotta learn sometimes.
I remember watching this when I was at my worst and CTE made me feel so understood, I'm really thankful for their music.
I don’t
I remember listen to CTE playing League of Legends... I think both memories are similar... LMAO
@@vitoriadecastro9441 im literally doing this rn...
Tbh I thought you were talking about CTE like brain damage
LOL i read that initially as CTE relating to concussions...
fuck why am I crying this is an animated dragon
The most beatiful animated dragon ever
Because the dragon was just trying to make friends
Cause the dragon is you sometimes.
I think I listen to Aberdeen about 20 times and I can not stop hearing it, it sounds like a real 90's grunge theme
pixies spirit and sound so obviously
Its 1am and this video really hits hard...
I know that feel too well
Its 1 am right now and same
It’s 2:00 am
it hits hard anytime of the day
5 AM have to admit it’s hitting pretty hard
I love all of their music, and out of all their songs, this one is just different. It has a different tone that is perfectly captured. I love Cage the Elephant oh my god.

OMG THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE THATS HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS ME

Hahaha. Definitely
Lila Silva I'm never watching this video again. It made me incredibly sad :'(
Lila Silva that was so unemotional
Lila Silva its even worse at the end when the general realizes that he made a huge mistake
I wasn't planning on crying over a playdough dragon tonight but I guess things change lmao
How good is this band?
Jeez, they are up there with the best of all time.
This song and video will NEVER get old. Masterclass
it's old and bad
I cried so fkn much wtf
One of the only videos that made me cry. The way the monster dreamed of becoming friends with the humans. It gets me every time. :'(

+karmaman101 You think someone needs to get professional help for having a sense of empathy? That is beyond messed up.
still hits me right in the feels every time 5 years later
Breaks my heart everytime I watch this 🥲🧎🏼
Decades later still rooting for the Dragon!
The reason so sad is because it holds so much emotional value and it’s so relatable to a lot of people and it happens to a lot of people
After all these years my heart still breaks. 😭
Every time I want to feel sad, I come back and watch this video
I use to get high and tear up at this video
still do... lol
i dont even need to be high
fuck you come back when you have some drugs thank you have a nice day
lmao same

:(
Decimal115 me too I saw it at Tilly's and cried
I'm a grown ass man and I can't watch this without crying :(

This music video is so sad, and the music is so good
Anyone else love that "Oh Shit we fucked up" look on the generals face at the end?
That was one of the scariest yet most beautiful things I have ever seen.
This song just popped in my head 2024
It's catchy and unique 👍🥺
this music video is a work of art. ive been obsessed since i was like three years old
Really sad actually, holy shit
these guys write a lot of great songs
I literally can't watch this, but I still love the music
Bring back my early teen years 💔💔💔
This song came out when I was 5 scared the crap outta me and now I redescoverd it and it is my favorite music video I just feel such a deep connection
I hate this feeling. When im watching the end of this clip. I want to cry :/
This has such a strong message, man.
This is honestly one of my favorite music videos! Man oh man, does it pull at your heartstrings though!
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MUSIC VIDEO FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS AND NOW THAT I'VE FOUND IT I FEEL SO HAPPY OML
why does this make me so sad?
Me too I cried a little
T
Because it's not so far from reality sometimes
cuz there is too much sadness in the world already .... they didn't need to invent more with depressing claymation. < :^(
Aaron Henderson
thanx, guys; glad i'm not the only sad one....
Omg I just like cried yo.
Out of all the books, movies, shows, songs and art of the world, nothing makes me as emotional as an animated monster in a two minute music video.
[Verse 1]
I been trying real hard to, to realize
But some things take a long, long, long, long time
Long time
[Chorus]
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foamin' at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
You burn me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen!
Way back, way back, way back!
[Verse 2]
Never saw my dark side in-in your eyes
Back and forth, bloody fingers painting up the sky
The sky
[Chorus]
Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foamin' at the knees
Saw the flame, tasted sin
But you burn me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep
Aberdeen!
Way back, way back, way back!
[Instrumental break]
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Ooh, ooh

Hold the phone, hit repeat
Got me foamin' at the knees

hands down best comment
Brooooo 😂😂
Cage the elephant always has the best bass riffs
I'm legit very cold but this makes me cry every time I watch this, I start crying as the video starts I jus can't 😭😭😭
Cage the Elephant is the music I listen to that makes me feel like i’m living through the times i missed (90s grunge era) it makes me feel better
Same.. nostalgic for a time i didn’t even exist in. This song definitely has a 90s alt rock sort of feel, but is apart of our time for us to claim and enjoy. And Aberdeen is where Cobain was from!
I've been tryin real hard...
To realize
But somethings take a long long
Long long time (a long time)

You got me foamin at the knees
Saw the flame tasted sin
You burned me once again
Cut the cord, she's a creep

The song title is a reference to the city of Aberdeen, Scotland. The band wrote the song whilst rehearsing in the city
It's not about Kurt Cobain
