Anyone seen this video on MTV or MuchMusic?

I just viewed it again on YouTube.

The song itself is drowsy and hypontic, and would be very calming were it not for the frightening psychotic lryics. I wonder what kind of drugs and in what combination, were involved in the inception/realization of this video.

The images themselves are indescribable, though the storyline is more or leds clear.

Chad Vangaalen, are you a chronic meth user or just completely insane? :pale: :shaking:

yeah, I've seen that video a few times. It is very cool, & I think he makes the animation himself as well? I don't know anything about the guy except that one song - is he worth checking out generally?

I find his work to be ... upsetting. But at the same time it's fascinating. And yes, he is credited with the drawings and music.

There's no way this guy has never used hard drugs.

The whole package is very strange, it's like a psychedelic version of some horrible old Grimm fairy tale.

Here's another amazing video by him if anyone's interested. I'm definitely going to have to check this guy out properly.
