Anybody else here feel a sense of immense happiness/euphoria and at the same time a sense of melancholy and longing for the past and something now gone from your life.... when you listen to The Magnetic Fields? This song does just that to me. It's so unique
+BohemianAsh sometimes i feel bad about stephin merritt since almost all his songs are like that; but i don´t really know if that is good. the thing i know is that every time i don´t want to feel alone i listen to it
Oh and the quality is stellar. It gets better and better each time they release one. I hope they continue to feed our needy ears for as long as they can allow it. -3
It totally does have something to do with the song. I see it as two people 'put in the trash' or 'thrown out' by others and they meet each other. Like 'one mans trash is another mans treasure.'
The woman in the video looks like Lillian Gish, with the same silent-film acting expressiveness. Lovely. (I can't believe this video is 12 years old, seems like it came out yesterday. But it pushed me further to explore The Magnetic Fields, and what a rich musical treasure trove that is. Merritt is a genius.)
You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more Quick! Before I walk out that door Quick! Before it all ends in jeers What a waste of all those beers You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed Quick! Because I'm through being attacked Are you really prepared to lose All this just to air your views? We're on the brink of something Get me a drink of something Quick! Between your outrageous remarks Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks Quick! Before you can't take that back Just before it all goes black You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes You're living in dangerous times Torture me for your amusement About who will pay the rent Who will pay the rent Who will pay the rent Who will pay the rent Who will pay the rent Who will pay the rent
it is called: to be a scrawny waif It is an acquired taste for few Many suffer by guys quitting after a while and running away with the voluptuous and fully assertive femmes. Jocks!
that was really cute. and about the "mismatched" themes, i think it works fine. i guess you could say its the aftermath of the song being played out over it. every end is a new beginning.

I think I figured this video out... They're in the garbage cans cuz they're, well, let's just say they're unique people who have a hard time finding others that understand them. The singer is basically threatening somebody with leaving. "Torture me for your amusement, Ah, But who will pay the rent?" threatening loneliness, "who else will love you?" So, anyways, it seems after all those wasted years, the cooky-eyed blond found a good-looking bobble head that intends well but isn't too bright.
I find it odd the video is about two people finding each other and falling in love, but the song is about losing love. seems like director didnt even listen to the song.
Sometimes pop musicy songs have two very different themes in the lyrics like there'll be a song about pining after someone but it will also be about telling someone to get lost. In this case the lyrics are about a relationship ending and the music video is about a relationship beginning.

BohemianAsh Absolutely.

+BohemianAsh Yeah. I agree 100%.
this song is horrifically depressing.
that being said, yes I understand that feeling.
saudade is the word.
"Who will pay the rent" - Wow... that line did it. If you've been in this situation before, you totally understand this on so many levels.
😭
Every time I listen to this song I only wish it was longer.
its a great song live too shirley is a treasure
"Like the mating call of sarcastic sharks" is the best quip I've heard in a long time.
What does the line mean? I can't get my head around it
He feels attacked
@@mview4843 I think its a criticism of bar/dating culture
One of the best lines written ever. EVER.
Oh and the quality is stellar. It gets better and better each time they release one. I hope they continue to feed our needy ears for as long as they can allow it. -3
Amazing what she can convey without saying a word.
Magnetic Fields are incredible- the art
This video needs more views. Such a good song.
This song is perfect for me to relate to im so glad the person who wrote this song did.
Beautiful song.
A beautiful piece of art
It totally does have something to do with the song. I see it as two people 'put in the trash' or 'thrown out' by others and they meet each other. Like 'one mans trash is another mans treasure.'
This is one of my absolute, favorite songs
Fantastic video and song! Thanks Neil Gaiman for the tip.

You better think of something quick before I don't love you no more
Quick! Before I walk out that door
Quick! Before it all ends in jeers
What a waste of all those beers
You better think of something quick because my suitcase is packed
Quick! Because I'm through being attacked
Are you really prepared to lose
All this just to air your views?
We're on the brink of something
Get me a drink of something
Quick! Between your outrageous remarks
Like the mating calls of sarcastic sharks
Quick! Before you can't take that back
Just before it all goes black
You better think of something quick before the midnight bell chimes
You're living in dangerous times
Torture me for your amusement
About who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Who will pay the rent
Torture me for your amusement
Ah, but who will pay the rent? *
It's written in the digital booklet that way.
@@LucidDreammakes much more sense.
This song is so fucking rad The Magnetic Fields have done it yet again!!!
Love It!
A great song is elevated by the video.
Eu amo tanto esse clipe.
that woman looks like a granny and a little girl simultaneously. She should be in some more motion pictures.

Brilliant remark!!!
Merge Records on RUclips, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
This is so adorably Disney-esque.
I think it’s meant to emulate Beckett’s play Endgame

Naww, what an adorable video! I wish I had that girl's eyes. So blue and pretty.
Conclusion: Bin-people are adorable!
The Magnetic Fields - Quick! ♥♥
So this is how Oscar the Grouch fell in love.
This song, is the better
That's exactly what I thought. "Endgame" is my favourite play, and all I could think of when watching the video.
pffff, more like bin-girl = perfect :) and very awesome song.
me too. I think I might have seen her modelling something.. i think maybe aqualungs or some sort of diving gear?
"mating calls of sarcastic sharks"
What happens when people who watched Sesame Street grew up and majored in art.
aaaaameeei s2'
Slick video!
kewl
Dirk Disco approves.
holaaa, alguno sabe los acordes de este tema??
The girls is so pretty/cute.
this is a 10 out if 10 . I pray future people can acheive this
Anyone feel a little Samuel Beckett-y watching this? Endgame, for real!
adorable
Aloha, Jin!
does anybody know who the bin girl is?

Where are these?!Q
I think her name is Elizabeth Webster as referred in the description...
the mating calls of sarcastic sharks...
You guys should check this out on Hanus.Tv!
Bin-boy is cute!!
this is so CUTE
Ballad of Oscar the Grouch
Dive into an exclusive interview with Binance's CEO for a peek into future developments
you re right, i didn t check the description...but still i m not able to find her with that name...maybe it s wrong, or maybe she s just not famous...
can someone explain the video to me lol...i love this song the magnetic fields are amazing
This is one of the most fun songs on my playlist! Weird video, though. I don't get it.
Haha Becket's Endgame vibes
i can't help imaging that they were characters from sesame street
I find it odd the video is about two people finding each other and falling in love, but the song is about losing love. seems like director didnt even listen to the song.
That's a really roomy dustbin I wonder what the rent is like
Then they clanked.
Dang cliffhangers.
Well, I think you should know who she is by that hint... :D
Wha happened thes funy cvers:(
Love with a gigantic L.
I came, I listen, I found it twisted ? Time to cook ! Watch #Chefs videos !
conservative political advert before a magnetic fields song is the definition of irony
Cutie. Oscar girl and Oscar boy.
LOL!
creepy enough make me see this video number of times
i like freaky people
8 people were not quick enough.
i love the song ... but i dont understand this video
Maybe you’ll find it in the garbage.
music can turn out so kick ass. too bad for all the musical spam in the world.
Nice video, but can someone please explain me what in the world this has to do with the song???
Obviously you never had canolis from philly
I know her from something, don't know what...
A great song, and a great video, yet the video is completely mismatched to the song. Just... why?
