Chet Faker - Gold (Official Music Video) 

That's A+ Cinematography right there: the One-take feeling, the visual representation of the music at the start of the track, the lighting.... just pure gold.

The choreography, the fact it was done in one shot at night, and on skates is impressive.

One of the dancers, April Corley, was mistakenly bombed by an helicopter while in vacation in Western Egypt with a tour group. She will not be able to continue her dance career because of the injuries she sustained. Her longtime boyfriend Rafael died in the attack. This is one of the greatest videos of all time. My heart breaks knowing what happened to her.

These women are so strong and graceful. They are so talented!

HIRO MURAI IS THE DIRECTOR. HE ALSO DIRECTED: Earl Sweatshirt - Grief/Chum/Hive Childish Gambino - Sober/Sweatpants/3005 Flying Lotus - Never Catch Me Shabazz Palaces - #Cake Spoon - Do You St. Vincent - Cheerleader David Guetta - She Wolf The Shins - It's Only Life

The three skaters in the music video, which was directed by Hiro Mirai, are Appelusa McGlynn, April Corley and Candice Heiden. All three are accomplished skaters from the Greater Los Angeles Area. The choreography in the video was done by Ryan Heffington. Awesome video!!!

You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love You gotta know, I'm feeling love You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love I said it I might as well be in a garden I said, ah A smell in the air is a dripping rose (you could be the one for me) Another soul to meet my void then Of anything bare that's made of gold A physical kiss is nothing without it And you close your eyes to see what it's done The body that lies is built up on looking Cause all that remains before it's begun You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it A heart will swell before it's hardened With the flick of the hair, it can make you old Another hole to dig my soul in I'll leave anything bare that keeps me soul A physical kiss is nothing without it And you close your eyes to see what it's done The body that lies is built up on looking Cause all that remains before it's begun You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I never loved a Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it

One of my favorite 10 videos of all time. The mood, the skating, the singing from a car wreck.. all perfection!

I could watch this over and over. Having the sirens as skaters is genius. So fluid, so beautiful. Hiro Murai is such a gifted director.

can we just all agree how well choreographed this video was? These girls were awesome 👍

Chet Faker is dead in a crash. The 3 rollerbladers are the 3 girls rolling towards him are the fates, the three sister deities, as portrayed in greek mythology, that "cut the string" of life when someone dies, they decide fates, etc. He isn't dead yet because the fates turn back and decide to give him a second chance.

I'm obsessed with this song and the skaters. The choreography and execution is just fabulous.

The choreography is next level. This plays with perspective is ways regular dancing videos just can't touch. 10/10 I'm not even mad that it makes no sense paired with the song.

A kid recommended this song at a Halloween party last night and no one seemed to care or like it. This song was so good I couldn't stop bopping my head to it. I said out loud that this was one of the best songs I've heard in a while and the kid that recommended it couldn't stop smiling. I don't know. Just felt like telling a little story. Update (Feb, 9 2023): Since the new semester at my school started, I have a class with the kid in the story. We're good friends and I had a great night with him. We went to an antique shop, got a funny chain, went to a ramen place, went to his house, etc. Learned a lot about him. He has a dope history and is a pro at the yoyo, lol. He's a dope kid. Update #2 (April 10, 2023): We hang out a lot and we're great friends. Being around him is fun and I always have a good time. Last night we visited some abandoned places and I even got a picture of him sitting on top of a train, lol. I go over to his place a lot and I met his mom and her boyfriend. I even drew something for his mom. I like to draw a lot, lol. Update #3 (April 27, 2023): We consider each other close friends and he's always down to hang out if he's not busy. Great guy. Great music taste as well, lol. He put me on to some other songs that are in my playlist. Update #4 (June 8, 2023): We are good friends and hanging out every week. Sometimes multiple times a week. He recently took me to a lake to swim by the name of Hidden Beach. Or at least it used to be called that. It was super fun and he's down to take me again sometime. He's actually coming to pick me up so we can hang out right now, lol. He also got me into System Of A Down. They're pretty cool, lol. Update #5 (July 8, 2023): He goes to Alaska every summer and it's currently Summer here in Minnesota. I'm not able to hang out with him but I can't wait for him to get back. A little update on me tho. I just got a job and get paid well which means me and him could do a lot of more things. Now I just need to start learning how to drive, lol. I'll update more when he gets back. Update #6 (September 20, 2023): He got back from Alaska and two days after him getting back, I went to the Renaissance Festival with him, his mom and her boyfriend. They're all amazing people. I wasn't gonna dress up but his mom made me a wizard robe because she finds scraps and a bunch of other stuff and makes clothes out of it. She did an amazing job. I was there as a dark wizard, my good buddy was an executioner, his mom was a peasent herbalist, and her boyfriend was a peasent. They all looked super cool and did a great job. They missed my birthday and bought me a $190 fountain pen because I love writing and I write in cursive. Thay really did not have to do that and I told them that but they almost insisted on getting me something. I've never felt so loved by another family. Everything I receive from them I treasure and will always keep. They're wonderful people. The Renaissance Festival was really fun and I wore big rings as apart of my costume and some girl said they were cute so that was pretty nice, lol. We even got pizza afterwards. 😭 Update #7 (October 3, 2023): Last Friday, we hung out after school and we ended up going to some hippie party. Because my friend and his fam are hippies lol. I'm getring closer with his mom's bf and I'm starting to feel like a part of the family now. He even said that I'm always welcome. Makes me feel loved. So we were at this hippie party and there was this cool drum circle and some people were dancing and this dude had these light up balls on a string and he twirled them around and it looked super cool. After that, we were driving back to his house so he could drop me off at mine because he didn't bring his car and we got a flat tire 😭 It was raining kinda hard but we all didn't heaitate to get out and fix up the tire lol. Took like 30 mins. We all kinda bonded over that lol. Overall it was an adventurous night and it was pretty cool. More updates to come hopefully lol. Update #8 (October 29, 2023): I had weight loss surgery and am in recovery right now. All's goong good. But before that, I had to fast a little and him and his mom were doing it with me. They really didn't need to but they did. I've never felt so loved by a family. He visits me from time to time which is really nice. I can't eat anything for another week and he's been there fir me as well as some other friends. More updates to come. Update #9 (Dec 20, 2023): Ah man. Things are still super good. Recently me, him, his mom and her boyfriend started our own little band and we've had like two jam sessions so far. It was really fun and I found out I'm good at making up like punk and metal bass lines on the spot. These jam sessions are truly bringing out all of the talent we have within ourselves. I've never been so glad to have a friend in my life. Update #10 (January 28, 2024): Me and him have come so far together. Recently, we've gotten on facetime and he's helping me get into the habit of working out and is helping me better myself. I'm thinking of maybe making a little vlog on RU-vid to document our days when we hang out and what it's like. I'll have to get his permission to do that though, lol. Stay tuned for more updates! Update #11 (Mar 22, 2024): Eze has gotten me into the habit of doing small workouts and I can feel myself getting stronger. I love that guy and he's such a great friend. He's helped me through so much. Just the other day we hung out and went to thrift stores looking for jackets to put patches on and stuff because his amazing mother said she'd make me a custom jacket with patches and all that cuz I love that stuff and always wanted something like it. Also, we both love a song called "My Favorite Monster" by Rotem Sivan. We are the only two likes on it and it's very underrated. Check it out if y'all can. Update #12 (Jun 7, 2024): We graduated high school. Me and him do a lot together and he's such an amazing friend. He drove me to graduation, switches caps with me cus mine was too small on my head, and I cheered for him when he walked across the stage. His mom cheered for me when I walked too. We're brothers at this point and his family are like my family. It's awesome.

Years later…. I can’t ever get over or love another video more than this one. I ALWAYS come back. It stays rent free in my mind for sure.

these girls rock..

Them bodies though! I had to listen again to the song cause the video is mesmerizing! 😍😍

8 years old and still the best video with ZERO CGI. Continued love and respect to you "Chet", the skaters, and the fantastic director Hiro Murai.

incredible how much i just fell in love with this song by these 3 beautiful talented ladies just pulling me in... had to listen to it twice to hear what he was actually saying lol

Soooo this is actually an allegory of the sirens from greek mythology (not the fates). Hiro Murai, director of the music video, had mentioned to the actress Candice Heiden (the one in the middle) that her inspiration was to be of the sirens of the sea coming out from the dark. Here we have a case in which they lead a man to his death, similar to how some distracted while driving by beautiful girls would fail to notice a deer in the road. The deer is present to enforce the idea of "a deer in the headlights," in which the driver is stuck in the trance of the sirens. He has crashed and is implied to be dead, the sirens leave the scene. Do with that as you may in interpreting it through toxic and dangerous relationships.

this video is so satisfying the girls just move so smooth and fluidly

Who’s here 2024?

I'm dating myself here, but this reminds me of the roller rinks back in the 70s when young women danced to disco on skates. Quite impressive.

him and glass animals would be GOLD!

fuck it I'm buying my wife roller skates for Christmas

The car wreck at the end -- with him in the passenger seat, the deer unscathed but fake, and the girls skating into the dark is just genius.

This video passes so quickly. It's just mesmerizing the way they move.

WHEN LIFE GOES DOWNHILL, put on rollerskates bitch!!!!!!

I don't know man, I feel like I could just watch those girls skate all day.

Gold You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love You gotta know, I'm feeling love You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love I said it I might as well be in a garden I said, ah A smell in the air is a dripping rose (you could be the one for me) Another soul to meet my void then Of anything bare that's made of gold A physical kiss is nothing without it And you close your eyes to see what it's done The body that lies is built up on looking Cause all that remains before it's begun You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it A heart will swell before it's hardened With the flick of the hair, it can make you old Another hole to dig my soul in I'll leave anything bare that keeps me soul A physical kiss is nothing without it And you close your eyes to see what it's done The body that lies is built up on looking Cause all that remains before it's begun You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it You gotta know, I'm feeling love Made of gold, I'll never love her Another one, another you It's gotta be love, I said it

I'm gay but this video confuses me.

Beautiful women aside, the choreography, the concept, the execution, and the compatibility with the song make this an amazing music video.👍👍

This video is mesmerizing. Flawless edits, choreography, timing and concept. Can't stop watching it. Perfect match for the song!

There's some fit young women. Talented skaters, beautiful choreography, haunting melody. Dig it the most.

Still one of the most impressive music videos ever made.

I'm responsible for roughly 75% of this video's views.

Thanks to these girls, I've learned how to skate - and after two years - hell, I can do a lot of these tricks! Thanks Chet, thank you girls!

I wonder if the 3 ladies represent the 3 parcae of the roman religion that define the human destiny. The fabric of this particular life they came to end would be symbolised by the central line on which they danse around. further more we can notice that each parca is quite different: one older, one middle and one younger for the past, the present and the future. So the videoclip show the death of a human that is therefore visited by the 3 parcae since is past present end future end here on this road. What do you think of this interpretation? (I read no article about the artist, the realisator or anything).

I'm just happy to see the deer is ok

2:24 this part is wild. it looks like they are just floating around. Not moving forward at all. So crazy.

One of the bestusic videos of all time

OMG what a video clip...

I am 51 years old and assume all those people who comment "music is not as good as it used to be" on other clips obviously only listen to mainstream radio and are missing out on all the great tracks like this!

This is one of my favourite videos ever. Concept and execution. Flawless. Impactful, mesmerizing, groovy. And 100% organic. The reference to the three fates is exquisit. And you always end up falling in love with those amazing skaters and their movements. Choreography is sublime.

Possibly the 3 sexiest women to ever grace the screen in a music video. Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?

One of the greatest concepts to a music video I've ever seen. The dark road outside of town. Choreography. On point

I've been coming back to this forever. This is one of the best music videos of all time

Hey there! My name is Louis and I'm a disabled vet from Detroit and had recently gone thru a hard time. Your music.. like always.. helped me get thru it as well as pushed me to be a better musician. I have a new song Leaking I just put on here that you all were a major influence on, and I'd love it if you could take 4 minutes out of your day to hear it. Thank you for everything!

The one chick with the roller skates is really hot...

This is how I imagine every sonic employee going to work

me: imagining myself recreating this video with my skate girl gang also me: laying in bed eating chocolate realizing I don't have a skate girl gang

I found this song so many years ago. And here I am back to watch it again. This is absolutely mesmerizing! So fluid and beautifully done! It’s like the purest form of magic. Just Wow 🤯

This video is proof positive that you don't have to be almost naked, to be sexy af.

From the Director I think people are surprised to hear that there is almost no post-work involved in this video. All of the skating and camera moves were done practically by driving down the same stretch of road 30 times. Post consisted of picking a few takes and stitching them together at transition points. I think there’re total of 4 shots combined together for the final video. The shoot itself was a lot of driving back and forth in the middle of nowhere, while making sure there weren’t any rocks that the girls could trip on. Our choreographer Ryan Heffington (who is incredible by the way) was on the back of the car yelling the count over a megaphone each take. It was a surreal scene. It was really in the middle of nowhere, so I think we scared a lot of people who happen to drive by us.

For some reason, every time I watch this it makes me feel awake, free, almost as though I can breathe fresh air again after a long time. Like the complete opposite of suffocating... Strange but wonderfully refreshing

After all these years the song, the choreography, the cinematography is still otherworldly!

I've been working out like crazy to try to bulk my legs and butt up like that. Maybe I should try rollerskating.

This is representative of all that is good and right in the world. The fact that someone hears this music, and thinks "hmm, this jam reminds me of three insanely hot byitches fucking rollerskating down some random highway until they encounter some hipster that crashed his car into a stuffed deer but still had the sand to sing some slow groove but then they be like 'naw, let's just turn around and go back from whence we came' so they just skate the fuck back and that's that. I'm glad I live in that world.

Fuck the music I'm obsessed with the blonde one.

This song feels like the most well written poem in the existence. There’s so many tiny details that represent something else and it’s amazing. I used to listen to this song with my mom when I was like 10-11 and I thought it was cool then. Now, years later there’s so many parts I didn’t appreciate and now I do.

those legs

The woman in green KILLS it. Best dancer here, hands down. She moves flawlessly.

i could watch this forever

Everything in this video is insanely well choreographed and watching these three women skate can only be defined as the poetry of motion!

Green Jacket changed my life.

Damn! Makes me want to buy a pair of roller skates!!

If I was driving down a long dark highway and three chicks just broke into Rollerblade choreography behind me I wouldn't even be mad.

This was dropped 10 years ago and it still makes me smile, great song and video.

This guy needs more attention. He has a really good voice.

The timing, choreography, speed, groove, wardrobe, everything about this is perfect. The video actually makes the depth of the groove even deeper, bravo!

2:46 that move was smoooth

this is the reason I asked for (and recieved) roller skates for christmas

I have got to get a body like theirs, and I have to learn to do this.

This has to be one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen

thank you apple new macbook reveal

They can skate better than i can walk on my two feet :(

This has to be one of my top three music video's of all time! Thank you for such simplicity, positive vibes, and awesome roller girls rocking the night away.

CANNOT BELIEVE I ALLOWED MYSELF TO FORGET THIS GROOVE FOR THIS LONG...

I need a 10 hour loop of this song.

The skate scenes are classic alone! The way they did the lighting is also dope!

As Ryan Carillo so eloquently wrote, this video is mesmerizing.. with flawless edits, choreography, concept, and rhythm, including but not limited to a blonde female skater/dancer/artist with the most astoundingly, sensual, athletic legs that I've ever seen or imagined in my entire life. Hands down. No doubt. The visual art emerges from the darkness on the shoulders of a near perfect primal aural foundation laid by Chet Faker. It's fascinating, and hard not replay, so go ahead and watch it a few times. If you don't watch this after that intro we can safely assume that you don't have a clue. Skip at your peril. Really.

曲、映像共にカッコよすぎる💙💙💙もっと評価されるべきです👍👍👍

I know this has to be a stupid question but, is this even real? These girls make it look so graceful and effortless I'd honestly believe it if someone told me that they were floating above the ground the whole time

Man 2:28 just looks like they are skating in space, like the road is a green screen with how smooth they are moving. Really impressive overall.

They look like mermaids...I was entirely hypnotzed!...And the sound track...Stunning!

For every kid that roller skated in the seventies and eighties, here is your opus. Absolutely fantastic choreography and a great song too!

this is the sexiest video i have ever seen. elegant

stoner's question: why not Fet Chaker?

No other song has hit me like this one. Absolutely a banger the beat the lyrics and the video are absolutely mesmerizing.. there are songs out there that make people choke up. They probably shouldn’t and you can’t quite put your finger on why.

to be honest .... how fuckin cool is this video ? :)

sweet lord i've been rollerskating for like three years and it still hurts just to stand... I can hardly imagine...

My cat listened to this, now he's a lion...

Still the most beautiful musical video. I’m straight and I’m hypnotized. Skating Sirens.

came for the music. stayed for the girls.

guarantee half the budget was spent cleaning that road. Last time I was on roller skates I was almost killed by a pebble while barely moving.

I love everything about this. The quiet slow sound of his voice. The bluesy tunes. The visuals of the video. Dancing roller girls with giant gold hoop earrings. ..& is that a Buick Electra? Icing on this beautiful Cake! I just collected all of Chet Fakers Albums in my Pandora! I will now begin my obsession.

I miss roller skating man.

The fact that Chet appears in his own video for only 18secs is pretty gangsta :)

This is what perfection looks and sounds like.

I'm litterally shidding and crying right now. So many memories, all left in the past. It's time to remember them....
