Uh, I thought she just got really pilled up, like every other Dom & Nic Chems video....... X-D



( Can't wait for another trippy saga with Believe!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!! )



Not to take the piss out of everyone too much, though... That special feeling that comes when all the right elements are in place is something to always remember and cherish, because you can never exactly duplicate the experience again.

people look like skeletons when you're on acid and they're dancing under strobe lights.

Thanks for all the replies but I believe I owe you a follow up. It?s about the intrinsic qualities that separate us from the next stack of bones. If we are all the same then it is possible to be the greatest valued person or least valued person. This will make you question your own value, and this is what the Chemical Brothers realized > the treasure chest of genius. These are the intrinsic qualities that make us questions what are all the other bones doing but just existing when they should be pursuing the treasure. I know this sounds strange to you, but if you?ve captured the treasure, every word here will sound like poetry. If not I can show you the treasure, call me! I have another important message waiting for you ? butterjump@hotmail.com

Fucking hell, jackass!!!! Have you perhaps heard that a whole is greater than the sum of its parts?



I mean, shit, good for you, having this lovely "insight," but if you're going to have a bit of fun, at least return to humanity, you pig!!!



I apologize for this angry post, but I am outraged.

No dude, it's really about being very high in a nightclub. That's all. She takes some acid, starts tripping out about something that happened during childhood and people dancing under strobelights really do look like skeletons when you're tripping.



SOmeone, either the chems or Dom & Nic, even said, 'Oh yeah, that happened to someone we know' when describing the video.

camper, it may be that you're reading too much into this piece. Throughout the video there is a thick slab of humor (the skeletons screwing on the toilet, the boy drooling/spitting on the girl's book, skeletons breakdancing). The idea "we are nothing, we came from nothing, we will return to nothing" is nowhere throughout the song or the video. Though we can never be sure we understand everything the producers we trying to say, all we can do is look at the video and listen to the song. The Brothers have said they want their music to remind people of some great power. That is altogether different than purporting a specific idea such as the nihilism you infuse into into the hey boy hey girl video. I believe that the most we can gather from this video is the idea that the imagination exerts a powerful influence over the individual throughout their lives. And what was the effect this girl's imagination had on her? I would say, a fixation upon seeing people as bones. She saw people just as bones, nothing more, and it seems that you would agree with her. The consequence of this idea (idea's have consequences) was her alienation from others. How can you have a relationship with bones? I think you mentioned something like "The problem is what are all these bones doing?" If we're just bones wandering around a hunk of rock whirling through space, then what does anything at all in life matter? Nothing at all. In the end, all of our actions will come to nil as the universe dies from expending all of its of usable energy (entropy- heat death).



Thank God we aren't just bones walking around, but creatures made in the image of the Creator of the universe. We have intrinsic value; that's why life DOES matter so terribly much. We were created with a purpose; for God exists, and He is our Creator. And I would say that if there is no God, then there is no meaning. If there is no God, then we are just a bunch of bones whirling through space in a mindless, quantum choas.



How can this man say that God exists? you may be asking yourself. I can prove it to you very easily. Just open you mouth, and you have proven me right. For if you disagree, then you say that for rational, objective reasons I am wrong. Yet what is the objective backboard that you would pin the very laws of reason to, if God does not exist? How can there be "wrong" if there is not an all-knowing, all-powerful entity who declares what is wrong? Man cannot pull his philosophy up from his own bootstraps. By disagreeing you admit that you have worth, you're ideas are to be heard, that you have access to truth, that this is a rational universe, and that you have a moral obligation at very least to yourself to not believe what isn't true. This is possible only if God exists, giving you meaning, purpose, worth, and granting you access to what is true.



Besides, what profit is there to think that humans are just bones, nothing returning to nothing? Doesn't that gut life of meaning, and leave people hopeless for the future? Such a world view isn't liveable, even if it were true (which it clearly isn't.)



Such mass muderers as Hitler and Stalin have held this view: that humans have no intrinsic meaning, that the human is what you make him: a peg in the gears, a means to an end. Ideas have consequences. And terrible ideas have terrible consequences.



So why point is this. There are formal and practical reasons for believing that humans and the very universe itself are meaningful, regardless of what art may portray. I sincerely hope that at least one person has read this, and has maybe heard the voice of reason and truth (the truth of God) in what I have said. I urge that person to hear the testimony of Jesus Christ and the promises which He has made to you. Christ conquered suffering and death through suffering and death. And He offers this victory to you too, for He dearly loves you, and seeks after you all of your days, to save you from death, and to give you hope.

You are very eloquent with your words, sentientsynthesizer, and there are parts of what you said that I agree with - and not to sound like a dick but I'm afraid you lost me at the very end with your Christian rhetoric...

I GOT IT!



the very end, the cab driver is pakistani, and when he turns into a skeleton, that symbolizes the mighty power of Jesus striking the very flesh from the bones of the unbelievers!



If you'll excuse me, I must go pray now.

Whirlygirl, I'm not an irrational man, so I understand the doubts that any objective thinker would have concerning the miraculous claims of the Bible. However, one must look at what evidence we do have today, because the Bible MAY be true, and you won't know or believe until you at least look at the evidence and the arguments which Christians put forth for the accuracy of the Bible. I believe this issue is desperately important and I would like to keep our conversation polite, because IF Christianity is true, then it is of the upmost importance for people to hear the truth about death.



That Christ was a man who was crucified by Romans is a fact. That his tomb was empty the third day after he was placed there is fact. All theories critiquing the bodily resurrection of Christ are inconsistent with present day knowledge at one point or another. Some of them are laughable. And none of them have the power to explain why Jesus's disciples would claim the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus only to be beaten, outcast, and finally murdered without ever recanting their testimony. People will surely die for what they believe to be true, but no one will die (and suffer torture) for what they know to be a lie.



I challenge all those who deny Christ's deity to take an objective look at the evidence (realizing that history isn't science) and try to explain the events surrounding Christ's life and death (the main outline of which is corroborated by ten separate non-Christian sources. The Emperor Tiberius Ceasar has only nine sources for us to be certain of his existence. No one would doubt that Tiberius Ceasar existed.)



Just to maintain that I do not want to push anyone away or be viewed as being one of those pushy damn Christians, I will drop this subject NOW if no one responds specifically to this post with direct conversation or questions. I don't care about immature joking; that doesn't bother me. But if someone does want to continue with me, just let me know, I would love to continue.



Love is all.
