Each song on this album was inspired by a character. The woman in white is Mrs Moore from the song "Poplar St", the guy driving the car is Chuck from "Life itself", the woman in the dinery and the kid are from "Youth" and the woman in pink is from "Mama's Gun". You should go and check those songs out as well to better understand these characters in the video.
Lunaticraccoon , good stuff. May I ask what happened between the boy and the woman at the diner? Was that her son that could have been abducted? I've only watched "Life Itself" and "Youth" and I don't know how to tie the two together.
@@Kreutz I don't know if the exact story has been explained other than yes it's sang from a parent to a child. I think it was said that the song was inspired by a woman who told Dave a heartbreaking story about her son who had died, but told it with a smile on her face despite being on the verge of tears. The lyrics in the first verse do say "you were clearly meant for more, than a life lost in the war" and I personally always read that as the mother maybe giving her son away to save him from a war zone but you can read it however you want.
@@lunaticraccoon That's pretty interesting stuff. Like a lot of lyrics to good songs, it's up to the listener to decipher it as they may. But your explanation paints a clearer picture for me, thank you.
whenever i listen to this song i just really wanna watch the video along with it. usually i just play music in the background while i'm going about other internet business but not with this song
This is, hands down, that best song I've heard in my entire life. The rythym is super catchy and there is something in the chorus (maybe a mixture of the line "come back down to my knees" and the quick slightly anxious or fearful rythym in it) that conveys the mood so well. Every time I listen to the song, I get another part of the story.
This song is invigorating in so many ways! I dance in the street listening to it. People stare at me but I don't care ! I'm in another world and feel ecstatic !! It's my meditational tool!!
Much apreciating your perspective, aviance. I noticed as I was matabalising that, that Glass Animals will reiterate and mirror even clone and tesalate ideas notions and such throughout various parts of their astetic. It is a part of how the music sounds like it's own genre. It's constantly inovating it's own inventions.
@@adriannaogle5047 Definitely not. Life Itself tells a much deeper story, with smarter and more complex instrumentals. I appreciate both songs, though! Not a single bad Glass Animals song exists.
When I listen to this song Idk why but I just imagine people from all kinds, not giving a shit, cultural barriers forgotten, dancing together. I love it when a band just picks different sounds from different cultures and mixes them together, it always ends up being beautiful. They don't have one particular genre, they just make music
This is one of those awesome groups that needs more recognition but when someone wants to listen, and asks for a reference band, you can't really give them one, cause glass animals have such a unique sound
@MidnightFlower13 Lol no I'm fine with myself and I luurvvvv cake. And how do you even know it's because of cake? Overeating is not the only way to gain weight. Why is it that when people see me they think I'm 'weight goals' even though I'm underweight but if someone was equally overweight they would be shamed?
Right wtf is the plot of this? I guess the kid is kidnapped and the people in the car are what ? Psychic detectives on the kids trail? Lol and the mom just cries about it? Doesn't run to find him or call the police or even leave work..? Is that what is supposed to be happening?
@@kylehughes1619 I know the girl that kidnapped the child is miss Moore from the song poplar St, and the chil is from Youth. I am sure there is a story which people have figured out but I can't tell you what it is from the top of my head
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MUSIC FOR THREE YEARS WITHOUT KNOWING THE NAME OR THE ARTIST I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I FINALLY FOUND I AM SO HAPPY OH MY GOD
5 YEARS HOW US THIS SONG STILL SO GOOD, ITS LITERALLY AN ART PIECE OR MORE. I LITERALLY CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT. Since always and till now, is still my favourite Glass animals song, I just can't afford how good it is.
The trailers though *loud asf bass/trumpet shit* *text on screen briefly* *scene from movie where the characters say some dramatic shit* *bass/black screen* *more text, presumably finishing a sentence off from the last text* *explosions* *bass* *coming soon DD/MM/YYYY*

I guess I m stupid, can't figure this out. Now that the album is out and all the songs have settled in, I must say everything makes sense enough. Great stuff guys.
If you're talking about the meaning, i heard an announcement from the lead singer. While i don't remember everything, i do believe it is something along the lines of being a "weird" person, getting isolated because of it, and getting weirder as a result. In any case, it's a damn catchy song.
OO i m quite okay with my own interpretation of this song, however I thought about what the video is going to be about, expectations I had were different.
I love this song about Autism. It perflectly conveys a sense of someone feeling out of sync with societal expectations, experiencing struggles with independence, and engaging in behaviors or coping mechanisms (i.e. listening to static) that might be seen as eccentric. Paired with the awkward guy that represents this song in the album that's obsessed with ray guns and lasers.
All Glass Animals music videos are for open interpretation and don't have just one symbolic meaning. I think the woman in white took the waitress's child and attempted to blackmail her, but the child ran away. The waitress was panicked the whole time during her job, as if expecting a call about the ransom for her missing child. The man that was driving in the car may have been hired by the waitress to help find the child, but I thought of him as more of the child grownup, maybe he had escaped and was taken in by the old woman in the car and was revisiting his past. The photo of the child in their car maybe being a photo that had been taken of him when the old woman took him in.
You're just interpreting what you see. The main character is of this whole thing is that guy and his mom in the Cadillac. The song is ode to being useless. So here it is - The guy is some sort of totally ridiculous skull hunter or maybe vigilante justice and his mom to be a sidekick. So in my opinion, the guy is trying to become a batman and possibly reach his aspiration to become a superstar while hes driving his mom from grocery shopping. The woman is holding a bloody rhubarb or this kind of spiky celery shit and that concerns me the most of this video.
haha, you're right, i did only interpret the video, but that's because in some of their music videos the music has little to no correlation with the video. So, i decided to go off the video mostly for my interpretation :) but yours is a very good possibility too.
Glass Animals, 21 Pilots, Kodaline, George Ezra, Tom Odell, Vance Joy make the best music today. They are the reason why i still have hope for 2010's music
I am an Indian and I am not really a fan of the music that Bollywood spews out every year but I still somehow liked the Dhol/Tabla intro and then the whole Bollywood beat throughout the song. It gelled so well with the way the lyrical rhythm have been shaped. Quite an unusual, catchy and nice song.
+Jasmine xoxo, what I can't understand is why this song (and most of the cuts from Glass Animal's albums) _never_ became big, worldwide hits (especially this song.)
La llevaba buscando mas de 5 años La encontré por primera vez en una tienda Walmart en pruebas de audífonos y esa canción era la que ponian para que escucharas Y por fin la eh encontrado Gracias microfono de google
HOLY SHIT!!!!!! I LITERALLY HEARD THIS SONG ON THE RADIO A FEW DAYS AGO!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how excited I was to hear Glass Animals on the radio for the first time. I was trying SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO HARD to not jam out with my mom in the car.
I'm like imagining this as a Febreze commercial now like where they blindfold the people and are like "what do you smell?" *inhales* "HAH U JUST GOT GASSED"
The first time I heard this song, was while I was washing dishes... This is honestly amazing. It gave me inspiration to draw something. I love this song
I love how everyone's offering their very complicated and well-thought theories about what the hell is going on here, but really just knowing the concept of the album and who the characters are is enough to understand it all.
God I forgot how much I love these guys. I used to listen to them years ago...totally forgot about them. I don't know how I could forget... they are amazing!!
No one is talking about how adorable that little boy is. *My faith in humanity is going down again, not enough people are realising how adorable this kid is*
I didnt mean it romantically?? People are weird af. Surely a normal person sees a little kid just playing around and they think "aww", like seeing a cute animal
@@p1nkPallas fr bro i think you're a cool person, I also think the kid's adorable!! no but you were just ranting about people being awful nowadays they're just proving your point
Chuck in the song: Pretty unhappy social outcast relying on his family and unable to progress in life Chuck in the music video: Sick hero who hunts down and gasses nonces
Some of my fondest memories are of going to see this concert in Philadelphia. Absolutely outstanding and to this day this is still one of you guys' best albums. Keep making music, you are insanely talented.
I'm gonna guess the story behind the video: the boy is the son of the waitress. The lady in white took the boy from his adoptive parents and was bringing him to the waitress, perhaps to blackmail the waitress somehow. The lady in white may even be the adoptive mother, though it's unlikely considering he decided to run away from her. We can tell that the boy is the waitress's child because, after the lady in white contacts her about the boy, she is severely shocked and feels her belly as if to say she was pregnant. As for the gas man and his companion, I would assume that they reclaim children for people, likely children presumed kidnapped. I would assume this because of the man's colorful uniform and the companion's kind demeanor that would be comforting to children. I'd also assume this because of the picture of the boy in their car. With that picture, I'd guess that, with my context, the boy's adoptive parents or father are trying to reclaim the boy after the lady in white took him.
Each song on this album was inspired by a character. The woman in white is Mrs Moore from the song "Poplar St", the guy driving the car is Chuck from "Life itself", the woman in the dinery and the kid are from "Youth" and the woman in pink is from "Mama's Gun". You should go and check those songs out as well to better understand these characters in the video.

Glass Animals make the best music. These guys are so underrated
trueeeeee
underrated by? All I see is good feedbacks! They'd be underrated if they go more mainstream
that is so true
I agree. They don't get enough credit and they are amazing. Never heard a song by them I didn't like.
Underrated is a good thing soon as artists hit mainstream their music goes to shits

When I listen to this song Idk why but I just imagine people from all kinds, not giving a shit, cultural barriers forgotten, dancing together.
I love it when a band just picks different sounds from different cultures and mixes them together, it always ends up being beautiful.
They don't have one particular genre, they just make music
Yo,I also had the same thoughts!
I also pictured this but like alod I pictured the holi festival in India
Like the rave scene from matrix:reloaded, kinda about celebrating being human/surviving against the machines
that’s what i pictured in my head too ! how crazy
The beginning sounds very indian
This is one of those awesome groups that needs more recognition but when someone wants to listen, and asks for a reference band, you can't really give them one, cause glass animals have such a unique sound
That song MUCH better than heat waves
@@dandissisven49 Agreed. Heat waves was kind of overrated Imo
I can't verbally express how much this song has done to me. Thank you Glass Animals for helping me get through this.
this song is so aesthetically pleasing
this song deserves more hits
Fr, it makes my brain go skittles colors.
''I cant get a job soo I live with my mom''
Can relate.

She should've lean back and breath.

I think she was trying to make it to the door (and failed)
3:51 is when someone sprays too much febreze in the room
why doesn't this have more likes - lol - especially because the lyrics sound like febreeze

5 YEARS HOW US THIS SONG STILL SO GOOD, ITS LITERALLY AN ART PIECE OR MORE. I LITERALLY CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT. Since always and till now, is still my favourite Glass animals song, I just can't afford how good it is.
I did not expect the chorus to be this addicting
when a music video has a more interesting plot than most movies now a days lol
marie R true dat
The trailers though
*loud asf bass/trumpet shit*
*text on screen briefly*
*scene from movie where the characters say some dramatic shit*
*bass/black screen*
*more text, presumably finishing a sentence off from the last text*
*explosions*
*bass*
*coming soon DD/MM/YYYY*
True story. 😁😁😁
plot twist: it doesn't 😮
I find it a little hard to follow personally, but I entirely believe that statement.
The fact that all of their music videos connect and have a story is beautiful and so creative
That's what I call a killer chorus.
this song just makes you want to get up and dance, i can't even begin describe why. and i am not a dancing sort of person.
The motel and diner are actually in the same complex. Great shooting to hide that in this video. It's the Four Aces Movie Ranch in Palmdale, CA.
*LYRICS*
Daddy was dumb said that I’d be something special
Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human
Said that he loved each of my two million freckles
When I grew up was gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I sit in the car and I listen to static
She said I look fat but I look fantastic
Come back down to my knees ##
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Lean back down, lean back and breathe *(2)*
I'm waking up, lost in boxes outside Tesco
Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca-Cola
Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon
Sonic ray gun, gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I make my own fun in grandmama's basement
Said I look mad, she said I look wasted

Why is this band producing nothing but gold? I love them.
"She said I look fat, but I look fantastic"
Story of my life
I love this song about Autism. It perflectly conveys a sense of someone feeling out of sync with societal expectations, experiencing struggles with independence, and engaging in behaviors or coping mechanisms (i.e. listening to static) that might be seen as eccentric. Paired with the awkward guy that represents this song in the album that's obsessed with ray guns and lasers.
I wish this song would get more popular cause it’s ridiculously good
All Glass Animals music videos are for open interpretation and don't have just one symbolic meaning.

It's just how i personally see it of course, nothing official lol
+Riko Fizzy I was thinking pretty much the same thing
You're just interpreting what you see. The main character is of this whole thing is that guy and his mom in the Cadillac. The song is ode to being useless. So here it is - The guy is some sort of totally ridiculous skull hunter or maybe vigilante justice and his mom to be a sidekick. So in my opinion, the guy is trying to become a batman and possibly reach his aspiration to become a superstar while hes driving his mom from grocery shopping. The woman is holding a bloody rhubarb or this kind of spiky celery shit and that concerns me the most of this video.

one thing I love about glass animals is their endless limit to imagination.. each song and video is crafted so delicately, beautiful talent!!
Glass Animals, 21 Pilots, Kodaline, George Ezra, Tom Odell, Vance Joy make the best music today. They are the reason why i still have hope for 2010's music

I saw
The intro music is so bollywood. Love that
Hahaha yasss
:D
yeah.
Yesssss
I am an Indian and I am not really a fan of the music that Bollywood spews out every year but I still somehow liked the Dhol/Tabla intro and then the whole Bollywood beat throughout the song. It gelled so well with the way the lyrical rhythm have been shaped. Quite an unusual, catchy and nice song.

Some of my fondest memories are of going to see this concert in Philadelphia. Absolutely outstanding and to this day this is still one of you guys' best albums. Keep making music, you are insanely talented.

I'm gonna guess the story behind the video: the boy is the son of the waitress. The lady in white took the boy from his adoptive parents and was bringing him to the waitress, perhaps to blackmail the waitress somehow. The lady in white may even be the adoptive mother, though it's unlikely considering he decided to run away from her. We can tell that the boy is the waitress's child because, after the lady in white contacts her about the boy, she is severely shocked and feels her belly as if to say she was pregnant. As for the gas man and his companion, I would assume that they reclaim children for people, likely children presumed kidnapped. I would assume this because of the man's colorful uniform and the companion's kind demeanor that would be comforting to children. I'd also assume this because of the picture of the boy in their car. With that picture, I'd guess that, with my context, the boy's adoptive parents or father are trying to reclaim the boy after the lady in white took him.
I don’t even understand why Heat Waves is such a Radio hit when this song was so much better.
This song is soooo good!
"I look fantastic" is my favorite part of the whole video.
i still cherish this album so dearly. it was my first physical vinyl record ever and i love it more than anything.
