Director: Damian Kulash and James Frost.
Producer: Shirley Moyers.
The official video for the recorded version of "This Too Shall Pass" off the album "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky". The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The "machine" was designed and built by the band, along with members of Syyn Labs ( ) over the course of several months.
There is an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the warehouse here: www.okgo.net/this-too-shall-pa...
OK Go thanks State Farm for making this video possible.

The dude at the beginning hit those dominoes with the force of someone who had to reset that machine a few too many times.
Christopher Jin ....now that you mention it
Also they don't even flinch when the canon launches paintballs at their faces. That tells you a lot. Lmao.
You can see all the broken tv's too 2:40
@@ileolai Neither does your mom...
only 8! not bad considering
As much as I love the melody, as much as I love the lyrics, as much as I love the video as a whole, them showing all the people who worked on setting this up at the end of the video makes it all even better.
Y E S
Just like the pyramids in Egypt, a testament to the workers that built them,
Also, YES
Shut up, loser.
Searched for this after watching a tiktok with notes on how many takes, 30 people taking an hour to reset, even a NASA engineer
i remember watching this video when it came out, i was in second grade. i built my very own rube goldberg machine shortly after out of tinker toys, legos, twine, marbles, and nerf gun parts. now im a 2nd year studying industrial design, a field all about crazy shit like this. i attribute this video to guiding me to where i am today and couldnt be happier
Good stuff brother 👊
Good luck to you and enjoy!
Same here! This video was a huge inspiration!
Also watched this in 2nd grade. It helped get me into building projects and tinkering back then. Even built a couple Rube Goldberg-esque contraptions with a team of friends several times. Cool to know others were similarly inspired :)
What! That’s super cool. Congrats on getting the bug from this video!
Theres something about this that makes me shed as tear ... the sheer immensity of this and just people working together to create something that is just absolutely breathtaking.
Hell yeah John. You fucking said it.
how many times do you get the builders incorporated into their chain reaction macnines ?? . . almost never . . whitch is another reason this is chain reaction so unique . . . besides being so over the top rudiculous . they realy went all out on this one
Npc
Word.
you're perfectly right john !
ahh yes. Every teacher's go-to video for teaching Rube Goldberg machines.
Ok-go-to
What's exactly is a Rube Goldberg machine?
@@triciaramgoolam4045 It's a very large and elaborate machine that has a very simple purpose. In this video the purpose would be for the machine to shoot the paint. (Funnily enough I just learned this from one of my teachers using this video today)
@@davelabonte7806 ohh. Thanks.

“My bad guys, forgot to hit record can we do that again?”
If that really happened, that would've been so stressful, imagine how much time that took!

@@baobaomeow Check out the pile of broken-screen TVs at 2:43!
Rip
Shout-out to the camera holder for giving a beautiful continous shot of the action. Very well shot!
For reals! That's what I was thinking too!
It took 85 shots lol, Modern Marvel featured this song/video since it uses a rube goldberg machine
that's what happens when you're not an idiot that uses a cellphone to record everything. use a real camera.
there's a couple of cuts seamlessly sewn throughout the video
He has a bit of a cameo at 2:30. You can see his reflection in the ball.
Anyone in 2024...
Right here
I remember in 7th grade being assigned to make a 10 step tube goldberg. There is a bare minimum 130 steps in this. Mad respect.
What's a "tube goldberg"?
Rube* goldberg. It's basically where you have to accomplish a task with a lot of steps.
@@johnayers7935 Yes yes, I know what a Rube Goldberg machine is, an overcomplicated contraption used to complete a simple task or no task.
@@CrazyFoxx2 Do you know what a typo is or do you need someone to explain that to you as well?
@@adrian.m258 typo? I thought those were not real.

Of course you’re gonna type in lowercase letters.
Used it every time in my kinetic/potential energy chapter.
This in my music class
Twas shown in my highschool physics class... Six years ago.

This song is monumental for me. My dad showed me this music video when I was 12, and I absolutely fell in love. The words speak to my heart, and I’ve always been able to rely on the beauty and youthfulness of this song to lift my spirits in my darkest of days. After all these years and now being 23, I tattooed the lyrics “let it go, this too shall pass” on my wrist so that I can always be reminded of that wisdom and encouragement. A tattoo I know I’ll never regret. OK Go, you’ve truly influenced my life so positively. Thank you❤️
Thats awesome x
That's exactly how it is for me I'm glad I'm not the only one who remember this from childhood
AWWW! My dad showed me too! I was 10.
I was very surprised to hear this song at the end of The Flash. This band deserves recognition and more.
Yesssss
this was so good to hear getting out of the movie theater, kinda got stuck in my head tho
Watching the end credits again got me emotional. I am honestly gonna miss DCEU actors like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, as Jame Gunn is rebooting its cinematic universe.
ha just finished watching it like 5 minutes ago and immediately jumped up saying "I love this music video! let's go watch that!" visuals + music really stick to your brain
Came stright here after watching The Flash because they didn’t play the complete song. Needed that fix.
"let it go. This too shall pass, when the morning comes." is about the most beautiful and reassuring lyric I've heard in my 35 years.
Agreed! And as much as I love this video, somehow it comes across even better in the OTHER video they did for this song. Search for “ok go this too shall pass marching band”
I think it might be paraphrased from a Bible verse
tv go booom 🤪
I don't really want to... :±-_-±:
I thought it was when the MOMENT comes
Video cameraman's most famous last words "Sorry I missed that; could you set it up again?"
Well I got the flashlight, but I forgot to put the tape in.
They did this 81 times so...
MrSnowmanJoe so not a lot then
:OOOO :O you said 81 times... there are 81 likes on this video.... OMG! No, im not gonna mess it up...
I would like this comment, but it is still at 81
Something I love about this video is the presence of the smashed piano and pile of smashed tvs in the background, acknowledging that this is not the first run through of the machine
I was so happy to hear this song at the end of the flash. Perfect song to end it and the perfect band too
End of Letterkenny S8E2 for me
At some point it stopped being this "cute little mechanism" and just went batshit crazy
I mean, so did the song, as soon as the bass started to get louder and stuff, it would make sense to be correlated to the song
1:02 that’s when it started going crazy
Yeah, but aint organised chaos their trademark.
0:00.
when it got crazy for me was 3:20
Whoever figured out the calculations for all this seriously deserves a Nobel prize
JadenJFilms Rude Goldberg then
Rude goldberg
he was very rude

Sadly there's no Nobel Prize in Logistics

the one thing no one seems to mention about this is how the title/meaning of the song relates to how many attempts it would take to execute the concept of this video. much respect to the band. i show this video everytime the conversation turns to cool music videos.
Watching this made me happy.
The cameraman is the real star of the this video
no. the toy truck is.
No he fucked up at the end
PABLO ARVELO agreed
it seemed like a belt that it was put on to get all those angles
Camera team were real stars
Watching this video never gets old. The engineering is simply incredible. This deserves rediscovery at least yearly. I shared it with a friend who had never heard of it, and she's sharing it with her grandchildren. It makes me smile every time I watch it.
I agree, the music creates a good background noise while the amazing Rube Goldeberg machine goes on.
Hey. It's about time you to rediscover this.
I watched this for the 3rd time since middle school! I agree
I watched this more than 5 times in a row
One of the greatest music videos of all time and kudos to all of those who worked on this!
Happy Birthday Rube Goldberg!
Plot twist: it wasn’t red paint on the first guy.
It was their last cameraman, who tripped and made them have to reset the whole thing
Lily Peelor what

This is so good it has me inexplicably sobbing. The immensity of the task, the team coming together to create something so powerful, the beauty of the lyrics, it's just too much.

HUMANS HUMAN-ING IN HARMONY
Have you seen the other version of this song they did, with the marching band? If not, watch it.
And then check out That One Moment. It transcends music video and goes into real art. I found it jaw-dropping.
The Flash was an awesome movie and it led to me adding this awesome song that I never knew I needed to my playlist.
I just want to say one thing:
81 takes.
All those dominoes you see at the beginning had to be picked up one by one and set up again, one by one, 80 TIMES.
If ever you were to question OK GO's awesomeness
I've seen you somewhere else before...
Geometry Dash Nigu
Perhaps another OK GO video?
The dominos? Soo, not the piano dropping and breaking, or the broken television or the water system or the bucket pyramid or the paper planes or the marble system or the balloons or like y'know, every other part of the video? The dominos were practically the easiest part to set up
Black science guy you saw at the mall today Well,yes,the piano is expensive and stuff,but if you have to reset the TV you just stack it away and get a "new" one.
Whereas with the dominos,you have to take every single one,and delicately put it back on top of say an LP,and if it falls over you've got to start again.
Also,the dominos had to be set up again on EVERY take.
they only got to the end like 3 times. they put all the unreliable stuff (and probably more tedious to replace? i dunno) at the beginning.
Ten years later and this is still one of the best music videos to ever grace the internet.
They've topped this (improbably) several times. "Writing's on the Wall", "I Won't Let You Down", and "Upside Down and Inside Out" are just as spectacular, and I know I'm forgetting a few.
My professor was one of the people to work on this, and told us all about the development of it. Such a unique and creative idea
I’m so happy to see this video again, after years and years !
When i was a little girl my dad had a folder of videos on his computer that we watched together over and over. mostly it was sesame street segments but there were others too. this was one of them. I think i have seen this video upper of... 60 times? i know it by heart and it will always feel like sitting in my dad's lap on his computer chair and going through the "kate videos" folder :)
Same but its a folder full of chemistry experiments and this video also
@@mariestidola3573 kindred spirits!
Teared up quite a bit, since my Dad just passed away a few months ago. I'm so glad you have such a sweet memory with your Dad. Keep building your memories with him.
wow same story here!
Dear god this is so sweet
Almost ten years later and this is still the best thing ever.
12 years later and my phone still doesn't have as much storage space as the iPod at the start of the video.
Apologies, Emma B but the best thing ever is sliced bread 🤣😂😅
I still remember watching this in 6th grade. That was 10 years ago. Good lord and this video has only aged like fine wine.
The dog 😂 #TheFlash2023❤😊
Whenever I feel, that I need to put some beauty in my head, some craziness and just some playful creativity combined with a coin flipping between genius and madness, I return to this video. Or any video from OK Go. Just puts a smile on my face. Thanks
i'm the same. it makes me happy people still appreciate their stuff years later.
Still incredible 6 years later.
Yup! JUST WOW
This was made 6 years ago? wow, i could've never been able to tell
7 :d
Peter Konrad Konneker now 7
Agree!
I haven't watched this in what 5 years? And it just gave me chills all over again. Not only an anthem of a song, but the sheer joy of months of hard work paying off. Thanks again guys.
My dad used to show us these videos and had the music in our roadtrip play lists. Only now after he's passed has this song really hit me. This too shall pass.
I’m sorry for your loss
IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS VIDEO FOR 4 YEARS, I FOUND IT
congrats. now go listen to upside down and inside out, their new music video
wow!!!
I know how that feels, it's like the glory 👏
OMG me 2
+Maryam Mafuri Literally did a 5 second google search for "warehouse course video british rock." Was the third entry.
i love that they didn’t mute the original video and just put the song over it! it’s also fantastic how it just gets more and more chaotic as it goes on. rube goldberg machines are awesome, and this is my favorite music video from them. 💕
It's interesting going back and watching this again because you can tell that OK Go has gotten a lot better at not reacting to crazy stuff happening around them. There were a lot of parts in the second half where the members couldn't help looking to the side instead of at the camera and a couple times where it's obvious they just barely made it to their places in time.
Of course, this doesn't diminish the impressiveness of this video in the slightest. They are just as creative and good at playing music as they are now. It's just now they're used to doing crazy music videos and have a much better budget.
I always wondered how long it took to make this video. It probably took about 100 tries to get it right. Kind of like that Honda Accord commercial.
@@okjeffy6581 In an interview they say it took over a hundred takes, and getting certain parts to work with the music was the hardest part. There was one segment that only worked once and it represents the only edit in the video.
at the very end during the part with the paint cannon, one of them just barely puts his goggles on in time
I like how Tim flinches as the bowling ball goes past him down the spiral track at 3:10 - makes you wonder if it came off in another take.
Four examples of energy transfers for anyone that needs it:
When the dominos fell, it transferred kinetic energy from one domino to the next.
When the lights turned on, energy transferred from PE to electrical.
When the umbrellas fell, energy transferred from gravitational potential to kinetic.
When the car started rolled back, the car transferred from mechanical potential to mechanical kinetic.
i love you thank you
Sounds like someone's been doing their homework.
Me looking at this while in summer break: hmm, interesting
Thank you so much :D
You just saved a life bud
Imagine if someone sneezed and they had to set everything up again. Also I absolutely love the glasses and spoons part and the fact that the TV is playing another one of their music videos.
+randman They did over 80 tries before they got it all right.
fun fact: if you look at the behind the scenes they had to do 80+ takes.
+randman I would have been asking: what would have happened if the camera operator tripped over something and the other contraptions started with a 5 second gap between them!
This video is a certified hood classic
Thanks to 'The Flash' for bringing back to this beautiful song 😍
2:38 I love how you can see all the failed attempts in the form of the broken televisions in the background!
Yes! Also, the paint already on the guys...
ahhhhhhh yes
Too bad they're broken. There are some I would have taken!
That must’ve been a pain to put up again
looks like that was about the 8th take and they could've tried twice more.
Glad the algorithm held out for a decade this seems so relevant today.
I was not expecting this to play in the credits for the Flash. But I am so happy it did
Was SO stoked to hear this song at the end of Flash. So cool guys!
2:40
Judging by the amount of smashed TVs, I'd guess somewhere around 9 times?
Hunter Huang | squared
how many times did they fail before getting to the tv part though, thats the real question
Hunter Huang it's amazing that how thay try it so many time.
Doesn't sound like much on the surface, but think about it, that would be awful. Yuck.
Hunter Huang and the amount of paint already on them
So glad they showed off the engineers who worked on this amazing work of art!!!
Nah. That's the State Farm Ins marketing dept.
Honestly, I really needed this video right now. Life is so stressful right now and all I want to do is cry my eyes out, but this too shall pass. Thanks for cheering me up 13 years later, OK Go.
This is one of the best music videos ever. The effort and energy and flow is so sick
That has got to be THE most awesome Rube Goldberg Machine I have EVER seen! OK Go are geniuses when it comes to making their videos! You can always expect something unique, something different, something that is time and effort intensive, and something totally cool from their videos! 10/10!
agreed
Except they aren't different. They have only one thing in common. They all blow your mind. XD
like driving a giant guitar playing chevy
Funny thing they didn't make it. They got a person.
They never skimp out on the music, either. It's awesome.
Watched this when I was in 7th grade and now I'm in college, time flies... the feels...
Chau Jack same, but more like 2nd or 3rd grade lol
ReynaPixyRosa Chihuahua literally same!! are we long lost classmate? lol
I remember one of my science teachers in middle school showed us this video in class. I’m glad I found it again!

Watching in 2020, this mess of a pandemic too shall pass.
Unless it doesn't. In which case good luck to you good sir.
This song makes me feel better about everything. I'm scared about how long the pandemic will last and I keep forgetting that however long it is, it won't be forever.
Yeah (from Brazil)
Not yet... It's been 4 months goddammitt
Sooo, this virus will never be extinct, it will mutate out of vaccines reach ever so often, and vaccines are generally too expencive for alarmingly many. All countries will do what it takes so not more than a set percentage of important workforce are infected at once, just like now. The ways they keep this under control will change as time goes on, most likely eased up but never back to normal.
So no, this pandemic will not pass.
I couldn't help clapping at the end when I saw this for the first time over 12 years ago, and I still can't help it after watching again today. The song and video are somehow a perfect match.
Your music and videos ( especially this song) helped me through a very hard time in my life. 10 years later i enjoy it for helping me realize the strength I had to get through that time. Thanks guys! ❤❤
Inspiring during this time of social distancing, for its message, but also as inspiration for how to keep oneself occupied.
Agreed :) this too shall pass. We just gotta hang in there
I've been going through a very rough patch at my work and this was a lifesaver for me last night.
It is a good message about what to do in social distancing and stuff, except for the fact that this was made in 2010.

Yup...and stuff like that happens all the time unfortunately. But especially would suck for this. I can't even imagine
Marc Weiner no way
CheesyTaco21 I'm pretty sure they filmed this at least eight times before getting it right. Look at the pile of TVs in the corner. It wouldn't make sense to use a new one each time for practice runs. I can't even wrap my mind around how much work this must have been.
imagine all the time and energy they put into resetting the set and props/rube goldberg setup. really a iconic underrated band.
The part with the umbrellas where so much is going on on the screen is beautiful.
The Flash has Brought me back to this song
I remember listening to this every day
Back in about 2014-2015
So Much memories 🥲
"Guys we messed up. Put everything back where it was."
This is easily the greatest music video ever made. They were able to take science and harmonize it with each step of the music, unbelievable.
watch all the music videos from this band. every single one of them is wonderful and surprising on different ways
I wonder how the song would go without music.
Years later, watching this again, still makes me a little teary eyed at that ending just being so happy.
I hadn't seen this video in forever. I still love it more then ever.. ❤
This is still incredible a decade later. I'm always truly amazed by how these guys are able to outdo themselves with every video.
I had forgotten about this song for a long time, but I looked it up again because I received terrible news regarding a position I had worked hard to earn for around half a year. I was looked over for a person who doesnt even care for the position, and my colleagues have regularly complained about her unwillingness to put in even the bare minimum work. Hurts, man.
This is one of my favorite OK GO videos

That’s amazing to hearing the song in the movie The Flash. 😍
As a kid, I loved this as a nostalgic memory
Okay can we talk about how LEGENDARY this is? It must have taken forever to set up, and they showed things that made it clear that they did several takes. Not even getting into how amazing the song is.
Constructive creative chaos... I'm totally for this.
watching this level of creativity always makes me appreciate life again. The world needs more of this!
I love how this song got used in the credits of the new Flash movie!
I used to watch this as a toddler- I remember loving it so much and watching it on repeat! So awesome to revisit
This song hits different during the pandemic
no, it doesn’t hit at all. this is just a rube goldberg with background music.
@@wobber. wow, what a ridiculous thing to say. Consider all of the work, engineering, design, construction, timing, and effort this took, and maybe it'll seem like more than "just a rube goldberg with background music."
@@OliverHarrington i’m not saying that the rube goldberg is bad. the rube goldberg is amazing. what the point of the criticism was that the music has no flavor and this song is meant for just the music video.
@@wobber. theres a reason why the rube goldberg had the music as the first title, the goldberg had something to do with making the beats of the song, as you can see at the start the metal marble clanged at the same speed as the song beat.
@@wobber. The music has no flavor? Seriously? It’s a great song with or without the video. Where’s your music?

Smart band. In this generation, clearly, it’s not always about the music, but what content u can put out.
after 12 years of listening to this song, it wasn’t until now that o finally figured out “ let it go, this too shall pass “ meaning let go, in time this aswell will all passover and you’ll be fine. amazing

This is what happens when you go too far into the comments
That implies you are now something else. Are you a lost soul looking for one single actual friend that won't turn their back on you 2 weeks after they have befriended you, a friend that will understand your pain and suffering from being bullied at summer camp, getting really tired of the bullies and them not getting in trouble, trying to kill yourself by wrapping your shoelace around your neck, and hearing one of the camp supervisors say, "He definitely did it for attention," a friend who will actually listen to why you tried to sand down a stick with a brick to make the stick sharp enough to stab yourself in the chest with, and a friend who won't run away from you at recess and beat you up after school because you don't play Fortnite, even though your parents won't let you? Same.
2021, more lockdowns, but this joyous video and upbeat song remind me that the darkness only lasts until the light comes.
So, I'll look for the light, and remember that this, too, shall pass.
Life is hard, but it can also be silly and filled with joy. Keep your mind on the good bits.
