They still tour and have a new album coming out. But yeh, born too late to experience them in their prime. Could easily argue they are more of a concept than a band. Kind of like how GWAR does not have any original members anymore.

@ghostofdayinperson2 жыл бұрын
This is so haunting. It manages to turn the darkest emotions into a strange euphoria. When the girl sings, "Mr. Cuckoo has fallen asleep" I really like the small rest between "a' and 'sleep". It messes with the rhythm and mimics the way a music box sounds as it's winding down. I also love the way the chord progressions alternate between nostalgic and menacing.

Might I add that there are moments where their expressions seem melancholic. Like there's an implied cold distance between them. Maybe I'm looking a bit deep, but I think that's the beauty of the song. The video compliments the song's tone and lyrical content perfectly. I'd consider this official if it was associated with The Residents themselves.

Beautiful music, and so lovely movie. So sad story of daughter and father. At the scene in the train, there is a distanse between them. Maybe father is not good at having skinship with his daughter(0:10). Mother(already gone) was may burying the relationship of family. Father loved daughter, but not strong enough at keep her beside, because he is poor and busy, so he is on the way to leave his daughter with his relative. I guess. At the scene in the park (maybe it close to the relative house), father disappeared. I guess, he is still alive, but his heart gone away from his daughter. She got thrown away. What a sad story! She wants to have skinship, hug a tree trunk and think of last memory with her father. I'm Japanese, and I think many of Japanese has sadness with relationship like them. Maybe animater of this movie also Japanese I guess. Because landscape and details are very familiar to me. This family was living in Tokyo, and daughter was taken to countryside that relative house is. I strongly wish she is still alive, and she will grab happiness.

I do believe that the song is about a child learning about the inevitably of death, from one of her pets. The child realises that in the end the ones she cares for are going to die at some point and that fact saddens her.
