The chord structure of this song has changed my life

art students are savage.

just discovered this song and band and wow this hits hard during this quarantine.

"Isolation can put a gun in your hand" - At Marina Abramovic's "Rhythm 0" performance (which is referred to in the video) a guy actually put a gun in her hand and pointed it at her head.

"In this song, our narrator explores thoughts of depression and sadness. He describes how he feels lonely and hopeless, but takes no action in changing his situation." That's the meaning which I never knew until I saw the lyrics on Genius.

That about sums up art school.

how are these guys not more famous? One of my favorite bands ever.

Guys don't hate the video! I understand the meaning of the video. It's like life, some people good to you, fix you, kiss you, and some hate you, slap you, torture you and you can't do anything with it, but in the end you'll still survive and you can wash all the scars.

Art students in their spare time.

it sounds so depressing and nostalgic

Soon after he changed his major to accounting.

I remember hearing this song in 3rd grade and having the song stuck in my head everyday at school my house and just everywhere. But over the years i forgot all about it and what the song was called. i have been looking for this song for 4years and Im forever grateful i found it brings back the best memories ive had :) This song will inspire me forever.

Isolation can put a gun your in hand It can put a gun in your hand It can put a gun in your hand If you need to, you can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun If you need to, you can get away from the sun If you need to, you can throw away the only one I'm so tired, but I can never lay down my head I can never lay down my head I can never lay down my head I'm so lonely, but I can never quite reach the phone I can never quite reach the phone I can never quite reach the phone I'm so lonely, but I can never quite reach the phone I'm so lonely, I've gotta eat my popcorn all alone Yeah, yeah, yeah Isolation can put a gun your in hand It can put a gun in your hand It can put a gun in your hand If you need to, you can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun If you need to, you can get away from the sun If you need to, you can throw away the only one

I related the music video to the lyrics. He sings "isolation can put a gun in your hand, if you need to you can get away from the Sun". Getting away from the Sun means getting away from light, and therefore, from life. In astrology, Sun represents our Ego, our identity, so getting away from it would lead you to a life where anyone could say or think anything about you, or even do anything with you (and that's what the video shows, a guy who got away from the Sun and then everyone felt comfortable to slap, kiss, use, etc. him). Sometimes, getting away from the Sun it's needed, to understand things that can only be understood this way. But staying too much away from it may be a little dangerous, that's why he sings "isolation can put a gun in your hand": when you get away from the Sun you make yourself vulnerable and because of that you may feel a need to isolate yourself, and isolation can easily lead to SUICIDE. He also sings states of a person which has been a little too long away from the Sun, in other words, a person who has depressive symptoms: "i'm so tired, but i can never lay down my head, i'm so lonely but i can never quite reach the phone". And that's a perfect match for a person who lets anyone do what they please to her, that would be the guy in the chair in the video.

Your existence doesn't automatically grant you the luxury of a good life. Just don't take it for granted.

When I first found UMO it was through the video for Swim and Sleep. At that time I was thinking woooooow the artists who made the video are so talented but the music wasnt my thing. Now the music still isnt really my thing but I have a deep respect for the musicians because every video that they have is SO amazing. It takes talent to hire talent and UMO has hired loads of talent. Im a fan

The melody at the start of this song sounds like the sunset of a really enjoyable day. One filled with joy!

I'm 99% sure this was inspired on a work made years ago by a female artist where she sat and told the audience they could do whatever they wanted with her during a determinated period of time. If I'm right, could someone tell me the name of that artist?

I never get tired of this song. Its magical

I wish more people could hear this song

this reminds me of depression. the world is harsh and so are people but in the end your strong and you can allways make it. this is coming from a depressed teen your not alone out there

Listening to this again at the tail end of 1 1/2 years of quarantine hits different.

This song is fantastic. Video is amazing. Sounds like a modern Beatles to me

Who else is listening to this a year (plus) into quarantine?

gnarly stuff

one of the worst naughty chairs I've ever seen

marina abramovic just popped into my mind whilst watching this haha

The algorithm seems to know I'm in quarantine right now. This songs just fits too well. First it felt quite good to get a break from my busy life but after a while I felt like the world forgot about me and doesn't need me anymore. I got more tired but couldn't fall asleep and had no energy to call someone or answer messages. Two more days. This song lifted my spirit. Thanks algorithm and thanks UMO.

anyone else think this sounds really Beatles-y? good song.

I love them so much. why don't they have a million views?

I've listened to this Song about 1000 times and I just realized that i think this Video is about an Empath

Such a dark song in all aspects to me, this is exactly what I feel when I think I am inexorably alone and I have to make an effort to make contact with the outside, otherwise I'll go mad; 'Isolation can put a gun in your head'

This is amazing music I guess I've been living in a cave under a rock because I'm just finding out about this band

1:02 in the music reminds me a lot of Bibio. Love the audio production on the intro.

THIS SONG GIVES ME FEELS AND I DONT KNOW WHY HELP

So weird, I played this song for my parents today and they said it sounded like The Beatles too. I guess I never really noticed... :D

My interpretation of the video is basically a group therapy session, in which people are coming to help somebody (Our guy sitting in the chair) suffering from depression and lethargy, Feel Something. Anything. That's why everyone comes together and tries all kinds of different tactics, good and bad-- weird even, Just to get some kind of reaction out of him and wake him up from his apathetic state, one way or another. And by the end it might not necessarily have worked just then, but he gets up and walks off, and prepares again to try another attempt at getting better and feeling something. In what will likely become another and more sessions of Therapy.

what a zappaesque guitar solo at the end RIP Zappa

It's been five years my sweet melody.

best song to smoke on

How, beatly it is

Some beatles taste

As an objective art project, this video is brilliant!

This video says it all!

this had quite the impact when I randomly came across it in 2016 To this day I can't tell if I was justified in feeling it described me or if I was just too edgy to _not_ feel it was

I've gotta eat my popcorn all alone

You will always be my favorite artist group

you always think have a choice but it's all up to your feet

Happy 10 years and thanks too.

hermosisisisima cancion!

I've listened to this song in the psychiatric hospital a lot, like, all the time because I had very few songs on my shitty mp4.

shia lebeouf aslo tried doing a similar art piece in which fans could do whatever they wanted to him

very interesting,different yet familiar,still unique in every way.

are all art students this crazy

how Shia LaBeaouf if him

I like his shoes.

if this is you at work, its time to join the UMO

Omgoodness!! Absolutely love u guys. Ruben, you are unique and extremely talented. 🖤✨🎶

I'm hearing colors and seeing sounds.... is that right?

i hear beatles' influence here, and i like it, it's still fresh somehow

This is deep. Like looking into a mirror. I reached a point where I just let everyone walk all over me and the only one that tried to love me was my girlfriend.

Oh the video reminds me when i was in art school we discussed almost same piece of Performance Art, it was called "Rythm 0" probably one or the most terrifying Performance in art history. It reveals one persons deepest darkest desire. And it didn't end up well.

funk yeah

Este video me recuerda a una obra de Marina Abramovic...

I'm gonna take my life to this song

Between 2:42 and 2:43 you can see he's about to laugh before the scene is cut xD

Boy I can really relate to this song now im in #selfisolation due to covid-19!

He won't divide us.

Don’t touch, this is art ✨

Space Oddity... Staaarman !

Wow I love this video

This is one of those songs where you can feel it all so much that it scares you when you see the true nature of it

Hermoso Tema

Wow this band is really cool

this song makes me feel safe

[Verse 1] Isolation can put a gun your in hand It can put a gun in your hand It can put a gun in your hand If you need to, you can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun If you need to, you can get away from the sun If you need to, you can throw away the only one [Verse 2] I'm so tired, but I can never lay down my head I can never lay down my head I can never lay down my head I'm so lonely, but I can never quite reach the phone I can never quite reach the phone I can never quite reach the phone I'm so lonely, but I can never quite reach the phone I'm so lonely, I've gotta eat my popcorn all alone Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Isolation can put a gun your in hand It can put a gun in your hand It can put a gun in your hand If you need to, you can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun You can get away from the sun If you need to, you can get away from the sun If you need to, you can throw away the only one

so beatles, like it :)

This video is very helpful! Thank you!!!

Nice. Just heard live last night

BOWE ST PARKING DECK BABYYYYYY

Shes wonderful

woah *speechless*

This still slaps

Now let's all agree

it gets a bit deeper when you realize his fighter cauliflower ears, kind of metaphoric with the struggle of chronic depression

New york hasn,t changed at all ..

Song for lockdown

you guys sound great!

Yeah, especially with the things going on right now. And a lot of it's stupid too, because people shouldn't be as deathly scared as they mostly are. But even so, nobody can be blamed. And even so again, this song trumps all other songs.

my english teacher recommended me this song. she said it came to her head every time she saw my face. what could it mean?😔🙏

Really cool vibes in this :)

I like it!

Atual de mais com a pandemia

so. good.

Marina abramovic - Rhythm 0

Que flashero!!!!!!!!!

Asombroso concepto del video

OMG! This is some (F)ART!

Is this a visual representation of what the world does to the individual? I think so.

Is this supposed to be like Abromovic's performance?
