The cow realizes that it's going to get killed. To cope with this she creates a reality in its head where it's in control of the situation, turning itself into the farmer, a figure that it has seen being able (in the cow's perspective) to do whatever he wants at the farm
The cow sees the farmer milk, build, and feed. She comes to the realization that it's all thanks to hands (when it opens the door). She knows that her hooves can't do these things and that she's stuck. She imagines herself magically growing hands and she does everything the farmer did. She can milk, build, feed, and even open the door to the exit. However, she opens her eyes and accepts that there's nothing she can do about that and accepts her fate.
Something tells me the cow doesn't actually accept her fate though, more like she imagines being capable to do the same things as the farmer, in an attempt to avoid reality. That reality, being turned into meat, probably. We can see the cow is being moved through a tunnel. She's probably about to die and it's trying to distract herself from the dread. "God, no, no, god! Take my mind, I can take my mind and I'm fine." kind of speaks for itself. Anyway, that's my point of view.
The video as I interpreted it, shows a cow with the naive notion that it is "unable" to do all the things that the man is "able" to do (milk the cow, build a shelter and prepare meals) because it doesn't possess the man's tool (his hands). While she's standing on the belt about to be shot by the bolt gun, she comes to the conclusion that if she were "able" as the man is, she wouldn't be killed, and so at the last second she closes her eyes and dreams a desperate dream of her growing human hands out of her useless hooves and is finally able to milk herself, use hammers, and literally save herself. Cows are unintelligent animals, but they are very aware of the human's hands and recognize them as of great importance, as humans use them for everything they do. The fact that the song comes from the cows perspective (which is more believable thanks to how simple and short the words in the lyrics are) makes it all the more strong as a song. Everything else is perfect, the song is catchy and poppy and escalates with tension as we near the end and then it vanishes with relief, and the video has very impactful and cold images (especially here 0:20)
cows are actually quite intelligent. Just not in a human way. they remember stuff for a long time and make friendships, and solve problems. This is the case with many animals.

I don’t think Jack could make a extended version. No words in this song has more than 4 letters, and I think that’s intentional. If Jack were to extend it, than it wouldn’t be able (hehe) to have that factor, making the song lose itself.
As my English teacher would say, It’s a monosyllabic song which “would show that the cow is panicked as people tend to use short words when scared and in difficult situations”
Bruh, you do know there are songs with no lyrics right? I've also seem several songs with similar quantity of dialogue, with some of it even being gibberish
@@-hello6177 I see your point, and that could be one way to approach it, but to do one song with a clear lyrics and themes and then the "extended" is just music and some gibberish with words mixed in feels like a cop out and not what the fans expect from Jack. It wouldn't feel complete. I hope that addresses your concerns. Also, if you like instrumentals, have you heard "Kaleidoskull" by Lemon Demon? hits different on a rainy day.
now kids, the weird machine the man's holding at the end is called a stunner let me tell you how it works: *it pokes the cow in the head so hard it gets put into a life long coma.*
Honestly, jacks stuff is such a good representation of trauma that others have experienced, even if that wasn’t the intended interpretation of this piece. I’m so glad I found u Jack, thanks for putting my feelings into videos
Ok I’m gonna gush about this: I’m mentally disabled and i keep coming back to this video ever since it came out. The heifer thinking about how she can, in fact, take care of herself, and doesnt actually need the farmer. Her confidence that she can be independent, and her resolution to take her life into her own hands. Only for her to be struck down in a cold, systematic way and probably cut up for meat. I get into a cycle of feeling like I’m able to do things, and that I can live a perfect, average, neurotypical life if i just make another list, see another councilor, keep denying the problem. The heifer thinks she can act exactly like the farmer, and even grow her own hands in a way. Sometimes I feel the same, like the underdeveloped or dopamine-deprived parts of my brain will just fix themselves and the problem will be solved. Even the title “able” really speaks to me. Its just a beautiful way of framing a feeling and an idea that I’m so familiar with. It doesnt offer a solution, it just communicates. I find that very nice, and somewhat refreshing. Idk if jack knows how much his art actually helps people, but i hope he does.
The most “horifying” part was the last few seconds of video. The dark snyth, the bolt gun and after all that we can imagine what happened. Beside that catchy song!
I can’t help crying because the cow sees that the farmer gives him everything to live thanks to his hands but she only has hooves, and when he sees the slaughterhouse doors to reassure himself of inpending death he imagines having hands and managing to free himself from the slaughterhouse although we already knows what happens to him
I take it as a cow desperately trying and thinking of how to escape her fate, not having the Capacity to escape or the thumbs to be successful at it. In the end she accepts her death and calms her mind

I feel like this song wouldn't be as impactful if it were extended, since it's supposed to be the last few seconds of the cows' life, and having it last 3 minutes would take away from the sense of panic or incoming threat. On the other hand, a longer song could make an atmosphere of incoming dread, like the fear one feels a few hours before something bad will happen. A sort of slow burn, with the rising anxiety and tension. In the end, it's really up to the artist to choose what to do with their work.

@@parmishan1 It's a cow shute and a boltgun is being held above it, the moment the cow comes through that shute she will be shot and killed. That's why it's sad.
Bro. I know this video is dark But that farmer's design genuinely freaks me out. The way his eyes are lit in the dark with a strange realistic mouth It freaks me out.
Aviator Man It’ll spook you more when you realize at the end the hand is holding a cattle gun of sorts, used to incapacitate or kill cows before butchering as the cows head is just entering.
So basically at the “god no no god, I can take my mind and I’m fine” part the cow thinks that he can grow hands and can do whatever the farmer can do only to find out that the cow was getting killed.... Wow I want to cry because jack also made the cow really cute-
fun lil fact, no word in this song has more than 4 letters Edit: Since every other week there's another comment saying I'm wrong, here are the lyrics as I understood them to be when I wrote this comment: I can, I can, do I, do I? (la la) I do, I do, can I, can I? (la la) I can, I can, do I, do I? (la la) I do, I do, can I, can I, can I?

I’m in a deep state of depression rn and I was tempted to turn to drinking a few minutes ago but your music makes me feel better and slightly happy again ❤️ thank you
The cow sees what the farmer can do, and is arguing with itself "i can i can, i can't i can't" he wants to do what the farmer can do, he wants to he ABLE to do what the farmer can do. He imagines himself sprouting hands, since the farmer has hands making it possible for him to do all the things he does, but then we're shown he was actually imagining that and he's really being taken to his death. (The thing at the end is a bolt gun, used to kill cows)
This one of my favorite non-full songs he has made. It’s catchy and may or may not a have a meaning that is interesting enough but ignorable if you’re not in the mood
You have gooses on your skin? Wouldn't you be fine with that because your profile picture is a bird which probably means that you like birds? (if you're confused with what I'm saying it is because I am tired I have pulled and all nighter doing school work help)
This made me so sad. The cow desperately trying to escape but can only do so in her mind, creating an alternative reality where she is in control of her body. The end where the bolt gun lowers is so haunting. Thank you for this :(
...Can we lay off Jack? Constantly whenever a new song is out or an old good song exists everyone is always like "pls extend pls extend pls extend" Like we have so many songs but we don't stop. I think we should. We need to give him a break without constantly badgering him to make stuff for us. Let's just calm down, and let him do the stuff he wants.
its kinda cool how the cow imagined itself doing all the things the farmer did. i didn't realize what was in the hands until after i watched a few times. i love the effort jack puts into his songs and videos. hope this gets turned into a full song
Ugh that fantastic juxtaposition. The haunting notes of the farmer are lovely. I greatly enjoy this. Please consider making an extended edition. I feel silly replaying it so much.
@@JT-eu9ov regular show mordecai and rigby: boop boop beep don't look at our crotches as we synchronize our watches. Reverse Flash: Some say I'm the reverse! Don't look at our watches as we synchronize our crotches beep beep boop!
Jack Stauber is absolutely unbelievable. I don't know of anyone else who could make a music video under 30 seconds that's equivalent to a beautifully written short story. With so few shots, and no words over four letters no less. This is just as meaningful and memorable as the two headed calf poem. If you don't know it, I recommend it.
The lyrics (by my interpretation are) “I can i can Do i do i *(La la)* I do i do Can i can i *(La la)* I can i can Do i do i *(La la)* I do i do _Can i can i can i.._ God no no god Take my mind I can take my mind And im fine -fine fine fine- God no no I can take my mind I can take my mind and *im fine* ”
I really needed this disturbingly motivational video. I'm inspired to grow hands from my hooves, corner the farmer, and milk him for a change. See how he likes it
by my understanding, and without the need to make an incredibly long comment, the cow seems to understand the farmer as an image of power, and when she realizes she's about to die, she imagines herself as the most powerful being she knows, to feel as if she were in control of everything, no longer feeling fearful nor desperate
this video always gives me existential dread but i can’t keep myself from coming back to it over and over, it’s just too good. i’m obsessed with how well he told a deep hitting story in less than 30 seconds
@@cheesyfps at the early start of jack's channel he had a series called doodle music where he draws doodles and instruments follow the movement of the doodle
OMG so this is a cow that is helpless, tries everything, can't escape its destiny and at the end the closed bolt mechanism lowers into position as the cow meets certain death.when it pokes its head through that dark opening. very dark very sad
I think youre kinda right but it also has to do with not being able to escape its fate and creates in its head a fantasy where its in control of everything and is able to escape the mechanism there leading it to calm down and feel "fine" i think its a metaphor for humans ofc like most of his videos
Video man has me thinking. As long as i replay the video, even every now and then, i see her at the beginning of this song, alive again, and despite the suggestion of such, i have no proof that she is dead.
y'know this video reminds me a lot of the two headed calf poem by laura giplin which of you who don't know it goes as follows "Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum. But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual."
I'm scared Jack is this the prequel to "Milk" Edit: ...or maybe hamburger family Edit 2: I'm dumb its cheeseburger family. Maybe they're using the milk to make the cheese?
Someone probably said it already (and probably better) but what I think this is is: The cow is being milked but she can't produce(enough(?)) There is this big expectation to produce milk, there are so many buckets to fill and she just can't, but she wants to prove that she can There is the struggle to stay relevant and useful, she sees all the thing the farmer can do with his hands He builds structures, he gives her shelter and protects her from the rain, he gives her food and she can't even produce milk for him (the only thing he asks of her) She knows what happens to useless cows and she panics, she wants to try everything she can to be of any use, she wants to have hands to build, work, do literally anything But in the end, she knows she can't She lets herself being pulled in the corridor leading to her end I feel like her last thoughts could be both interpreted as: -she realizes that she can't and accepts her fate (and maybe, that she's okay with it because it would result in her being useful again) -she convinced herself that she can and that everything is fine in order to cope with the dreadful fate she can't escape from This song is about expectations and feeling useless, you can see the people around you doing great and providing so much for others and for you and you just feel like anything you do is meaningless and will never match what they can do You may try as much as you want, you can put all your efforts into something but still not succeeding, and the growing stress of disappointing those around you is poisoning your mind Fearing that you are not enough and that they will leave you behind with your failing useless life
Eyes too wide, too a degree that’s inhuman, or at the very least something would have to be pretty wrong for a persons eyes to look so big. Always staring straight at the camera, unblinking. Gaping, dark mouth. Kinda corpse-like. Pale/red accented skin looks sickly, or dead even also maybe just me but the high pitched voice is pretty creepy too idk. tldr; this man is very wrong and is Too human and also Not human enough.

Quast it’s a bolt gun meant for incapacitating cows
Ahhh I see, so basically Heroshima...

👁️O👁️
I felt that
Now THIS, this is one of the only Jack Stauber songs that made me feel sad and scared.
man, that last second is pretty heartbreaking
What is it I’m so confused on what that is?
@@parmishan1 It's a cow shute and a boltgun is being held above it, the moment the cow comes through that shute she will be shot and killed. That's why it's sad.
@@nugget8906 oh noo😭
kitkat jax damnnnnnnn that sucks
Bro. I know this video is dark
But that farmer's design genuinely freaks me out.
The way his eyes are lit in the dark with a strange realistic mouth
It freaks me out.
Aviator Man in the eyes of all the animals that are being murdered daily, the farmer is the devil
Aviator Man It’ll spook you more when you realize at the end the hand is holding a cattle gun of sorts, used to incapacitate or kill cows before butchering as the cows head is just entering.
Yeah, it is so dark and sad... I love this song
But the Cow is cute •u•
Nico_Park _TV yeah especially when it gets hands
The fact that you don’t see the cows face at the end makes this so much scarier
So basically at the “god no no god, I can take my mind and I’m fine” part the cow thinks that he can grow hands and can do whatever the farmer can do only to find out that the cow was getting killed....
Wow I want to cry because jack also made the cow really cute-
Male cows don't produce milk or even have udders.
fun lil fact, no word in this song has more than 4 letters
Edit: Since every other week there's another comment saying I'm wrong, here are the lyrics as I understood them to be when I wrote this comment:
I can, I can, do I, do I? (la la)
I do, I do, can I, can I? (la la)
I can, I can, do I, do I? (la la)
I do, I do, can I, can I, can I?
God no, no, God no, take my mind
I can take my mind, and I'm fine (fine) fine (fine)
God no, no, God no, take my mind
You can take my mind and I'm fine

She’s able to accept the inevitable future even when terrifyingly close and also let’s go of any grudge.
She’s enlightened.
There is no time, no space, nothing you do, nothing you ever did, and in the end no seperated 'you'. If you understand this, you are enlightened.
its resignation, not acceptance
the will is not to be killed, the will is callously transgressed
eyo
I think this is a lil too deep ngl
Thank you jack, I was a bit concerned about you when you haven’t posted in a bit
Spray Painted Cockroaches With Cowboy Hats I love your name and profile picture!
Same
Right?
now im even more concerned
I'm more concerned whenever he posts
This is the first jack stauber video where I genuinely can’t tell what’s meant to be happening
The cow sees what the farmer can do, and is arguing with itself "i can i can, i can't i can't" he wants to do what the farmer can do, he wants to he ABLE to do what the farmer can do. He imagines himself sprouting hands, since the farmer has hands making it possible for him to do all the things he does, but then we're shown he was actually imagining that and he's really being taken to his death. (The thing at the end is a bolt gun, used to kill cows)
The chibi world Oh that actually makes sense.
Btw, at the end he's holding a captive bolt pistol, which is used to stun cows before they get slaughtered.
0:18 is it just me when jack hits them high notes its sound soo nice?
he's got a really lovely vocal range, almost sounds like a voicemod
I agree
Hes just amazing overrall
"Falsetto" my dude, hes a bloody professional
Not just you. 💜
oh good it’s time for my *Stauber medicine again*
This one of my favorite non-full songs he has made. It’s catchy and may or may not a have a meaning that is interesting enough but ignorable if you’re not in the mood
No matter how many time I restart this, I still get goosebumps
You have gooses on your skin? Wouldn't you be fine with that because your profile picture is a bird which probably means that you like birds? (if you're confused with what I'm saying it is because I am tired I have pulled and all nighter doing school work help)
holy shit yes same
@@willoverdoseonmusic how you even came to that conclusion is a mystery to my feeble mind
@@willoverdoseonmusic 💀
Jack stauber blesses us with another of his shorts
Haha I get it a jojoke
This made me so sad. The cow desperately trying to escape but can only do so in her mind, creating an alternative reality where she is in control of her body. The end where the bolt gun lowers is so haunting. Thank you for this :(
I didn't think my favorite song would consist of a few words and is only 28 seconds long
Why does the cows house provide shelter from the rain, but the awning doesn’t? It’s not fair.
Nice reference.
THAT WAS SMOOTH

...Can we lay off Jack? Constantly whenever a new song is out or an old good song exists everyone is always like "pls extend pls extend pls extend"
Like we have so many songs but we don't stop. I think we should. We need to give him a break without constantly badgering him to make stuff for us. Let's just calm down, and let him do the stuff he wants.

most underrated jack stauber song ive seen so far seriously holy shit this rocks
Yeah, actually
its kinda cool how the cow imagined itself doing all the things the farmer did. i didn't realize what was in the hands until after i watched a few times. i love the effort jack puts into his songs and videos. hope this gets turned into a full song
this exactly. ugh i love jack's work so much
Ugh that fantastic juxtaposition. The haunting notes of the farmer are lovely. I greatly enjoy this. Please consider making an extended edition. I feel silly replaying it so much.
What a fancy way of describing a song about a cow. Hoho, I feel quite fancy myself now. G'dday to you.
Nice observation, Antonio. Heh. I like you.

0:01 Able meme starts
Jack Stauber is absolutely unbelievable. I don't know of anyone else who could make a music video under 30 seconds that's equivalent to a beautifully written short story. With so few shots, and no words over four letters no less.
This is just as meaningful and memorable as the two headed calf poem. If you don't know it, I recommend it.
The lyrics (by my interpretation are)
“I can i can
Do i do i
*(La la)*
I do i do
Can i can i
*(La la)*
I can i can
Do i do i
*(La la)*
I do i do
_Can i can i can i.._
God no no god
Take my mind
I can take my mind
And im fine -fine fine fine-
God no no
I can take my mind
I can take my mind and *im fine* ”
I think it says "can't" every time
Aight guys time to analyse the lyrics... *cracks knuckles*
@@Oirausu321 sounds like can to me
I kind of hear, "God No! No god can take my mind; I can take my mind, and I'm fine." After the other guy said it.

I think this is the perfect song to be extended.
I really needed this disturbingly motivational video. I'm inspired to grow hands from my hooves, corner the farmer, and milk him for a change. See how he likes it
I mean if you wanna milk the farmer, I'm not gonna stop you. I'm sure he'll enjoy it.
it also shows the farmer kills you at the end, that's a captive bolt gun he's holding.
@@MichaelS-vy1ku Well it was a fun milk filled ride
Thank you once again jack.
Si senior
Yo soi del rancho
by my understanding, and without the need to make an incredibly long comment, the cow seems to understand the farmer as an image of power, and when she realizes she's about to die, she imagines herself as the most powerful being she knows, to feel as if she were in control of everything, no longer feeling fearful nor desperate
this video always gives me existential dread but i can’t keep myself from coming back to it over and over, it’s just too good. i’m obsessed with how well he told a deep hitting story in less than 30 seconds
THAT COW IS SO CUTE
Edit: never mind, I got to that part.
Everyone : theories on the cow
Me : patiently waits for doodle music 5
oh hi mark is that an album coming out?????
@@cheesyfps at the early start of jack's channel he had a series called doodle music where he draws doodles and instruments follow the movement of the doodle

My favourite jack stauber video of all time. If you made a full version of this I think I would have a heart attack.
Sometimes i dream about mistakes i made and choised i could have done, and weirdly when i wake up this is in my head. This is the second time
OMG so this is a cow that is helpless, tries everything, can't escape its destiny and at the end the closed bolt mechanism lowers into position as the cow meets certain death.when it pokes its head through that dark opening. very dark very sad
did u have to say OMG tho?
@@yasqueenyesqueen181 it's a free range chicken it can do whatever it wants until it's shipped to the grocery store in a new form
@@yasqueenyesqueen181 I did I needed to say that first...
@@jogclemson4430 my contract with farmer John says no shipping, we go directly to the backyard grill or not at all it's a rule.
I think youre kinda right but it also has to do with not being able to escape its fate and creates in its head a fantasy where its in control of everything and is able to escape the mechanism there leading it to calm down and feel "fine" i think its a metaphor for humans ofc like most of his videos
Jack Stauber is one of those artists that probably don’t get too much hate because you wouldn’t go out of your way find him unless you liked him.
Yeah this is really sad and everything, but why is nobody talking about how hard this song slaps? This stuff goes hard
Video man has me thinking. As long as i replay the video, even every now and then, i see her at the beginning of this song, alive again, and despite the suggestion of such, i have no proof that she is dead.
Every song-short Jack does is like a fever dream Talking Heads track set to a creepypasta children's show.
I LOVE IT
Farmer: Farmers doing honest work! We take care of cows!
Jack Stauber:
Kiko The Cat i can’t tel what it is
I'm not saying anything but if Jack extends this song I will fall to the ground and scream
I will aswell.
this is a certified Vegan classic

At 0:14 I think the cow hyperventilating was a nice detail in the claymation
Edit: also the tongue movement at 0:09
thats not claymation at 0:09 its his real mouth
@@xox4136oh that's cool!
y'know this video reminds me a lot of the two headed calf poem by laura giplin
which of you who don't know it goes as follows
"Tomorrow when the farm boys find this
freak of nature, they will wrap his body
in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north
field with his mother. It is a perfect
summer evening: the moon rising over
the orchard, the wind in the grass. And
as he stares into the sky, there are
twice as many stars as usual."
The people who disliked probably have no idea how long people have been waiting for this
One could imagine...
I'm scared Jack is this the prequel to "Milk"
Edit: ...or maybe hamburger family
Edit 2: I'm dumb its cheeseburger family. Maybe they're using the milk to make the cheese?
Noice

@@friedpaper2034 nice
What kind of milk were you?
Mrs. Doctor what kind of life did you live through
Someone probably said it already (and probably better) but what I think this is is:
The cow is being milked but she can't produce(enough(?))
There is this big expectation to produce milk, there are so many buckets to fill and she just can't, but she wants to prove that she can
There is the struggle to stay relevant and useful, she sees all the thing the farmer can do with his hands
He builds structures, he gives her shelter and protects her from the rain, he gives her food and she can't even produce milk for him (the only thing he asks of her)
She knows what happens to useless cows and she panics, she wants to try everything she can to be of any use, she wants to have hands to build, work, do literally anything
But in the end, she knows she can't
She lets herself being pulled in the corridor leading to her end
I feel like her last thoughts could be both interpreted as:
-she realizes that she can't and accepts her fate (and maybe, that she's okay with it because it would result in her being useful again)
-she convinced herself that she can and that everything is fine in order to cope with the dreadful fate she can't escape from
This song is about expectations and feeling useless, you can see the people around you doing great and providing so much for others and for you and you just feel like anything you do is meaningless and will never match what they can do
You may try as much as you want, you can put all your efforts into something but still not succeeding, and the growing stress of disappointing those around you is poisoning your mind
Fearing that you are not enough and that they will leave you behind with your failing useless life
*jack stauber:* makes wholesome song
*jack stauber two minutes later:* i should really make a song about a schystofrenic cow!
I don't like the farmers face its like... I don't even know.. someone explain your theory as to how it is so *utterly* nightmare inducing
Eyes too wide, too a degree that’s inhuman, or at the very least something would have to be pretty wrong for a persons eyes to look so big.
Always staring straight at the camera, unblinking.
Gaping, dark mouth. Kinda corpse-like.
Pale/red accented skin looks sickly, or dead even
also maybe just me but the high pitched voice is pretty creepy too idk.
tldr; this man is very wrong and is Too human and also Not human enough. Uncanny valley is a hell of a thing
Rhys ! His eyes also glow in the dark
ya the eyes are creepy...
they look kind of bloodshotty or red or whatever the word is
and then he’s just always staring into your soul
It’s because the farmer is going to slaughter the cow, it’s supposed to be an unsettling design.
It's the human mouth on the claymation design, giving a more upsetting effect
Jack: makes a short
Literally anyone: OmG FuLl SoNg PlEaSe
This is such a short song yet its still my favorite to listen to
This can be described in two words: *’attempted revenge’*
