this song and video never fail to take my breath no matter how many times i come back to it after 5 years since i first discovered it, definitely in my top 3 songs for life
Great song! by the way, are they , in a "subtle" way, questioning the theory of a "spinning globe"? here the lyrics: "Down The Road" Oh-oh-oh-woo. Mmmmhmmm. Have no place to go. Have no place to go, darling. Have no place to go. Have no place to go. Goodbye baby. Yes, I'm going. Ahhhhh, Yes, I'm going. Goodbye baby. Ahhhh, Yes I'm going. Have no place to go, mmmmm. Have no place to go, darling. Have no place to go, ohhhh. Have no place to go, darling. Goodbye baby. Yes, I'm going. Ahhhhh, Yes, I'm going. Goodbye baby. Ahhhh, Yes I'm going. Down the road I go. Down the road I go. Down the road I go. Down the road I go. Have no place to go, mmmmm. Have no place to go, darling. Have no place to go, ohhhh. Have no place to go, darling. Have no place to go, mmmmm. Have no place to go, darling. Have no place to go, ohhhh. Have no place to go, darling. When that train rode up now, I come walking out, Come walking out. When that train rode up now, I come walking out, Come walking out.
deam... i heard this song somewhere else first, then i found it and didn't even remembered that i have heard it before... and now i know it was from mune!, that movie used the song i later on meet once again. amazing!
Right off the bat, I noticed that it was a desert planet, similar to Mars, orbiting a gas giant, similar to Jupiter. In the city, there were no women among the citizens, and there was a tall tower where their king sits. Then came the spaceship in the form of an inverted triangle. That's when I noticed the juxtaposition between the tower and the spaceship, a phalus and a matrix. I was fully expecting at that point for the aliens to be an all female race, but the video ended before they could show the spaceship's crew, but when it opened up, at the end of the video, it resembled a vagina. The men cried, maybe because they had no women to make love to and have babies. It also implied that there were women before and something happened that made them vanish. It's as if they recognized them. They could have simply been overwhelmed by their beauty. - I also noticed that there were no children, the youngest looked like they were in their mid 30's. The king looks like he could be in his 20's. The sudden appearance of women would mean they can reproduce and possibly save a dying race. Maybe another reason why the men cried. - Another thing is that their king looked like some sort of Babylonian king, and the god of Babylon was Marduk, whose astrological sign was Jupiter. That's probably why the planet was orbiting a gas giant, from an artistic point of view. - The men had a militaristic culture, possibly religious too. The first thing they did was attack the triangle. The triangle's shield merely reflected their attacks back at the them. It could point to male-female dynamics, where women will reflect back at men a problem they generated and will nag at them until they recognize it. 😂
