I... That was legitimately very heartfelt. Animatronics are a badly mistreated artform. Seeing this boy treat his old friend with love and compassion was so nice. Some pretty damn disturbing imagery in there, but at the same time, oddly tender.
One of the things I like so much about this is that the kid is Chippy's last fan and he is SO there for it, and it gives Chippy the strength to believe in himself enough to put on one amazing, final show :') Also, I really feel the underlying loneliness of the kid going to this show by himself and sitting down with something to eat and drink and just watching the stage and not having anyone to talk to.
I am Japanese. Recently, I learned about realestate at a supermarket. The music that was playing is "TalkingBackwards". The song and album were wonderful, but this is also a wonderful new song. I want to watch live someday. I'm sorry if English is wrong.
This made kinda sad. Seeing Chippers's life go down hill as he breaks and gets sick. Then how dedicated his final fan is, running to see chipper perform getting genuinely sad/disappointed when Chipper broke but then running back once he sees he's working again. Then dancing along with his favorite animatronic and hugging him lovingly even after being puked on. Like its just so sad to see chipper perform his last possible show to a kid that absolutely adores him causing him have flashbacks to his former glory and how he got to be to the state of being he's become. Edit: I re watched this on a bigger screen and realized the boy threw away his tickets on the tray, he really did only come to see Chipper and not to play games.
Just heard this song on the radio. Wow. The video just takes it to another level. I love how Chipper waves at the kid and then hugs him as he slowly breaks down. You cannot help but feel as he started to perform for the kid, give it the best performance he's got, and go out knowing someone cared.
Alex Dionisos Yes the Studio C stores are still subject to 2.0 remodels, but for all Animatronics to be completely fazed out of every store is something that will take many years.
As a fan of animatronics myself this was great to watch, and I love how it doesnt go down the same spooky animatronic route that copy a formula similar to fnaf of animatronics wanting to kill, the video shows chipper to be similar to a real person even if he is machine and puts real emotion into him even with his issues. And the accuracy of some of the movements to real bots too was a nice touch! Hope to see more projects which have animatronic themes take this path.
This is one of the most beautiful and artful metaphors. You feel the pain of the animatronic as if it had a soul, but treated as it was disposable. Then the love of this kid, his one last fan. It brings me to tears thinking about how even at your lowest, there is someone out there who’s in your court, still cheering for you. I love this song and video so much.
This absolutely touched my heart. How the animatronic character, despite being out of shape, tries to put a show for the kid. And even after vomiting a bunch of oil (I’m assuming it oil), the two embrace each other. A very sweet music video.❤️
An absolute masterpiece. It's seething with nostalgia, beauty, amazing filming and production. This draws the curtain into the darker, chaotic-neutral side to our sweet, beloved, peaceful Real Estate. It's tough not to shed a few tears with such astounding and poignant brilliance. Bravo! It also reminds me, in lonesome childhood, of peeking behind the curtains to see if the animatronics were still alive.
This song will be around for generations...we will reminisce about the time when it was brand new...and it will still have the same emotion and effect on us all
This song is sublime. Experiencing it before ever seeing the video stirred up a lot of emotions in me that conflict with how sunny this feels on the surface. Eventually I read Martin's comments about the track and it adds an awful lot in addition to my own emotional reaction. Later, I saw the video, and I'm just gutted and literally brought to tears by what Nick Roney and his collaborators added to it. It seems to be taken by many as black comedy, but for me it's so much more. It's almost unfathomable to me that so many feelings about living, dying, acceptance, loss, regret, innocence, unconditional love, nostalgia, cruelty and mortality could be captured in the form of a music video, let alone one for such an unpretentious and seemingly joyful piece of music. No need for me to describe my reaction specifically, but I was, and am just incredibly moved and so shaken up by something that seems on the surface to be a little slice of Summer pop. Every aspect of this seems to have spoken to me. I'll hold on to this one, probably forever. We all have those things that reach so deep inside that feel as if they were created for you alone. No way I can thank Martin, Real Estate and Nick enough.
love that this video basically....explains me in Chuck e. cheese...I know the animatronics, the shows, the songs and know they arent their for saying bad things about them. I LOVE Chucke cheese and this video basically made me smile and cry in my mind a bit...Since I wish i could hug chuck and say....Your still MY favorite mouse no matter what they say to you....I wish i had an animatronic chuck in my room one day....Thank you for bringing my memories to a good use and to a great song....thanks!!!.....
This music video hit me with a feeling.. Maybe wistfulness? Was expecting the ol' animatronic eats the kid trope, and i was pleasantly surprised I love it
That music video has a totally 80s Chuck-E-Cheese theme vibe to it or ShowBiz Pizza from the same era remind me when I was a kid growing up the late 80s early 90s
It's very heartwarming how this music videos says on how some of the kids actually think the animatronics are not killer robots but instead friends and actually care of them, if CEC/chuck e cheese sees this they will be straight crying
Very heartfelt. This reminds me of the only time in my life I've ever went to a Chuck-E-Cheese's. It was fun, but the family fun center that the eye doctor owned was 10x times more fun. When Chipper sparked and shattered, it was a reminder of how I wasted my childhood wanting an adult. Now, I'm 26 going on 27, and I STILL can't eat and do whatever I want, as my ten year old self kept believing.
You guys are a breath of fresh air!!! Keep creating more music like this, a lot of us need it!!! The video is amazing m, to me it should be nominated for music video of the year!!!!! Of 2022 cuz that when I saw it l!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 keep going guys l!!!!!!!
This reminds me of when my boyhood dog died in my arms and waited to see me one last time before dying after my overnight shift and a group home .. Gawd. Loss of innocence. I loved that damn dog so much
This song was on my head the days when I used to take my dog to the vet because of lepto. Sadly, my 7 year old cocker dog passed away after one and a half month. We tried hard to cure him, even though there were quarentine restrictions and the risk of getting coronavirus here in Peru. I also used to listen to this song to make me feel better after my dog died. RIP Max.
This video takes the song into such another realm! As a parents we had had fun taking the kids to Cuck-E-Cheese. To be honest, we first discovered Chuck-E while out of state on our honeymoon. We got to Chuck-E with our first grandson just before it shut down. Needless to say this pulls at a lot of heartstrings. With that back drop there is such a story here of affection, maturing, supporting persevering and joy. It's really cool the way the song and additional story sounds are blended together. I just just the CD, but a rip of the video audio needs to go in the MP3 folder to make the set complete. Oh yea, the song.... The smooth sound, instrumentation, airy vocal and borderline disco sound are really unique Real Estate.
Was so not ready for this. I can watch Faces of Death over and over again and not flinch. This shit tho.... Is no one talking about the social commentary???
I think this made me sadder than the creators would have intended. I feel like I don't ever want to see this video again or hear this song, and that's not because it's a bad song... it's because this video is SAD in a way that you just don't want to feel sad when you're watching a music video.
Just goes to show, when you establish a defined patch in the music landscape, sometimes you leave yourself nowhere to go. You put up a fence to keep others out and it ended up just keeping you in.
I found this from a creepy ad that literally had no information on it. I googled everything I could till I actually found something on RU-vid. Holy shit am I terrified.
I saw jeremy0’s comment and decided to comment for myself because I’m totally on the same page as they are. Admittedly, this video is very strange, but that doesn’t make it bad. In fact, it’s pretty moving in it’s own way. The fact that this kid is Chipper’s only fan left, and seems so lonely until Chipper himself puts on the effort to put on one last show just for him, is really bittersweet. All good things come to an end, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be forgotten.
Estoy muy feliz y sorprendido con lo que acabo de ver. Increíble sonido!!! Un saludo desde México 👏 Por cierto vengan a México perros hahaha aquí hay banda esperandolos!!
You always come up gold Without having been told Was I ever that young or was I always old? You're trying on new fits I'm on the same bullshit But you know I love it And I can't seem to quit If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still) Is it my will Pulling me up this hill? Searching for something real Can we please back this up? Refill the paper cup Until we're all grown up And we have had enough If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still) Is it my will Pulling me up this hill? Searching for something real If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still) Is it my will Pulling me up this hill? Searching for something real Something real now If I could just stand still (If I could just stand still) Is it my will Pulling me up this hill? Searching for something real
Julian was the best addition to Real Estate. His sounds compliment them perfectly. His shredding is so unique. Reminds me of Neil Young. Shreds from the soul.
Couldn’t agree more. I have really enjoyed the peeks into the new album in You as well. He seems to meld notes really well around Martin’s voice which I really loved in Altas.
this is an awesome song and video! takes me bk...iwas that kid who went to showbiz and chuck e cheese for the show...nuts to the games and rides! I wanted singing rodents and creatures...and for some reason a pizza chef w a drum set?!lol Hugs!
