althopugh its one of my favorite videozzz evah, Only a Few Weks Ago did someone explain it to me in Detail ; from what I understand, he waits for for Herrr, doesnt hear herr a-knockin, donc il resumes waiting for her. And some strange thing happens with the lights. And in part two, Live WITH me, she gets piss drunk becoz he didnt let her, let love, in. Did I get it right? Great great great video, great mood, and cinematography. glazer lives rite up mystreet.

If by "Herrr" you mean "room service", and by "part two" you mean "there isn't a part two", sure. You're right.

Do I hear lil puppies barkin?

  1. By 'Herr' I meant Sir, if you happen to know any German. It was a wordplay on Her/r. But it was her, and not room service.

  2. Part Two - I was being subtle yet again. You were being dumb yet again. Or a man of reason, as you flatter yourself, I don't give a fuck on you or your thoughts. But, as I was saying,

"Live With Me", by Massive Attack, directed by Glazer. Watch it again and hopefully this time you won't fail to notice what I was hinting at: forlorn lover, single room, love song. If you fail to see it's the same thematic universe, and think only in such terms such as SEQUELs, then you're mercilessly stupid.

In other words, you didn't understand the video but you still find it necessary to argue. Christ, you're tiresome.

(PS. 2+2=4 ... just want to see if you'll counter that in misspelled German that references the incorrect gender.)

No you poor little square. I did understand the story, see above. As for misspelled German, big Mistake*. I can spell however I like, give or take a few letters. I have no words, my voice is in my sword (Google it, you illiterate prick).

Next time you wanna argue with me about language and letters do your fucking homework. And start collecting cartoons or jokes, try to work a little on your sense of humor. Or hone your reading and comprehension skills, you fucking dumbass.

  • Mistake - as James Joyce once replied to some Jungfrau who'd asked him to let her take him by the hand. What he meant by that was - miss, take.

^^^ Amazing how mad some people get when they're wrong.

There is no "her" in this video. Ashcroft is waiting for room service (which is late, as you can ascertain from the call at the start where he complains about it). One of the reasons the video works so well is that it eschews such cliched concepts as "waiting for the girl", in favor of something so banal as to prompt the viewer to read more deeply than necessary.

Also, "Herr" references the male gender so your comment really makes no sense no matter how you look at it. Unless you're suggesting he's got a thing for shemales, which is fine. Just saying.

Music videos are fun!


         
my name is legion, April 20, 2009 at 10:40:06 PM CEST

(Joke alert)

I'll only add this, it reads so easily, like some sort of postmodern haiku (give or take a few morae):

"I spend the night, yeah, Looking for my insides in a hotel room, Waiting for you."


         
familiar, April 20, 2009 at 10:43:46 PM CEST

Yes, Legion. Don't worry. You're right about what this video is about; more right than Glazer himself. We can all relax now.


         
my name is legion, April 20, 2009 at 10:56:21 PM CEST

I am right about what this video is about ("Oh, brother, won't you lend a hand I'm alone in a room and I'm waiting for love") I am right about spelling Herr with as many R's as I want and still mean Sirrr, gratuitously and playfully postmodern. And I am right in saying that A Song for the Lovers and Live With Me can both be different sides of the same age old love story. (deep breath) You are wrong despite your use of argumentum ad verecundiam*, because I haven't heard Glazer saying his video is about Ashcroft waiting for the room service.

*argumentum ad verecundiam = appeal to authority, spared you the effort of looking it up on googletrans.

I think we know who the two biggest assholes are in Ole' Antville.

Legion for his bullshit pretentious references (Jungfrau? You're an idiot).

& Familiar for trolling around looking for shit to start.

Don't you both have work to do?


         
familiar, April 20, 2009 at 11:24:24 PM CEST

Hey now. I only bait Legion.
