Sparks - The Existential Threat (+ bonus "How To Make A Music Video" by Cyriak) 

Just realised?

That’s the secret

have you SEEN the channel whom made this

SymbiontUV Plays yes I have

SymbiontUV Plays but music video was good and I love it

And to top it off, I thought the singer was British

​@@coalkingryan881 It took YEARS before Sparks' audience, particular the British, realized they are American. I guess it's now commonly known, after all commotion the last years. (A minor success with the collaboration with Franz Ferdinand Ferdinand 2015, 2017 their album 'Hippopotamus' reached no.7 on the British album list. This album 'A Steady Drip Drip Drip' was also a big success. (Then the pandemic came... Everything postponed) 2021 Edgar Wright's documentary about them, 'The Sparks Brothers', made movie starved (after the pandemic) people went and watch it, even if they hadn't heard of them before, and became curious, listened and became fans. Later the same year their movie 'Annette' (directed by Leos Carax) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. It won the 'Best Director' prize, and then a whole bunch of other prizes, 'Best Original Music ' etc. Then, the album after this one, 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte' came out in May this year (2023), they began the tour with a couple of spread out gigs in the USA, then toured The USA, and a concert in Canada during late winter and spring. Took a week off, and played around Europe for about two months (TWO nights at the Royal Albert Hall!), and took a short rest again. Did a couple of more gigs in the USA, one night a dream of theirs came true: Hollywood Bowl! A couple of months off, then they went to Japan, doing two concerts in October, finished the tour in Australia, three concerts. One in the famous Sydney Opera House. They finished the tour at November 2 in Brisbane. Remember, these gentlemen made their FIRST recording on January 7, 1967, in a "rent by hour" studio in LA. One of the songs, the EXTREMELY ahead of time song 'Computer Girl', psychedelic, amateurish, and superb, can be found on YT. The first released album named 'Halfnelson' (their name at the time) came in 1971, they were a full band at the time, re-issued a year later as 'Sparks'. Since it sold close to zero they were strongly advised to change their name. Didn't sell any better 😅. 1973 the ball started to roll, they went to England to do a couple of gigs and TV shows. After that only Ron and Russell were offered to come to England and put together an English band, and make a record. They did. May 1974, 'Kimono My House'. MAJOR success! In November they released the follow up, 'Propaganda'. That year they conquered Europe, however their homeland took another couple of years. That became a little more than I had meant to write, sorry!

Check out cyriak! His work is great! (He's the animator)

I watch that dude

@@joshuakempe3016, check out Sparks! They are the song writers and performers! 😉 Without their music and lyrics this video had never been.

This is the least weird thing cyriak ever created

My favourite lyric.

Hmmm ... or maybe he sees the undeniable truth, and the only thing he is lacking is an ability to moderate those negative thoughts. I mean, we are in a climate crisis, a plastic crisis, an international war, etc, etc. It's not all rosy. And at least a few of these crises are definitely going to affect literally everyone on this planet, whether they know about it or not.

​@@uazuazuSeek help brother

@@stereomaster5490 Ha! We used to joke that the more you know the worse things seem. Like climate scientists suffering depression. AKA: ignorance is bliss. But if you can learn to manage all the resulting negative emotions, knowing how bad things are doesn't have to destroy you. But if the earth has turned into a pacman and is chasing you like in this video, then yes I'd say it's probably time to get help!

@@uazuazu I "cured"my depression by just ignoring everything, even emotions, i mean what can you do about dead people and alcoholic parents. Life is beatiful dude, no matter what, and if it doesnt seem like that to you, its just really up to you

@@stereomaster5490 The thing is to understand that we can engineer our own state of mind and experience of reality. This means that we remain in control, and we get to choose how we feel. What you described is a valid technique. I can find the place where life is beautiful, but it's my nature that I also see a lot of the darkness. Having the option to switch between optimistic and pessimistic world-views can be useful. I have never suffered clinical depression, though, so that's a whole other thing. But this video is funny to me because it's like "no, no, no, you're doing it all wrong". The negative thoughts aren't the problem. It's how he's managing it. My son can get into a similar catastrophic mind-set. The way out of that is humour showing him how it makes no sense to take things so far, and how to shift to a more positive mental state. Basically, to learn that it's not useful to be in that state, and how to change it.

I'm interested on what's easy in that

@@MisterClinDoeil it is only 4 step. noob

I’m sure you already know this, but he actually does have a few videos made a while back where he live streamed more in-depth looks at how he made some of his videos.

im waiting.

@@MisterClinDoeil easy, watch at the end of the video, so simple!

ikr its so funny seeing people who aren't used to cyriak's wild shit

I'm a Sparks fan, had honestly never heard of Cyriak, but when I saw the video I realized that I have seen artwork (or perhaps cuts from videos, I don't know) which I found really cool. My point is that it's not a question about "knowing" about Cyriak and his work, it's about how your own mind and imagination are set. I thought, from the first second, that this animation was the PERFECT video for this song! Regards/ old girl beyond middle age!😁

@@annabackman3028 kmk

@@shashikalasc7239 Can you translate that into proper English, please? I don't know what you didn't understand of "old girl beyond middle age"🤨? Always use that sort of language the reciever of the message certainly will understand. Remember that. Thank you.

Some of them are actually good...like genshin impact and Honkai Impact III

You can't, only cyriak can cyriak

They didn't. They collabed with Cyriak. Music by sparks, Video by Cyriak

@@KryptoKn8 I didn't notice this video was on Sparks' channel: I got here from Cyriak. I was talking about the amount of effort Cyriak was putting into his videos, because his videos look incredible, including this one. What I'm getting at is: I'm kinda indolent.

@@TheCubicalGuy ahhh no problem My Friend, mistakes can happen! Good day to you! Enjoy it!

Wish I knew what software he is using.

I think it's just after effects.

One of a couple more. I think that Shaw Petronio is on something in his videos for 'Perfume', 'Lighten Up Morrissey' and 'Dick Around'. Also 'Kuntzel and Deygas' have made a couple of classic ones, 'I Married Myself', 'The Rhythm Theif', 'The Calm Before the Storm' and an amazing instrumental version of 'This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us'!! (They have also made intro-parts to the movies 'Catch me if you can' and 'The Pink Panter' among other stuff.)

It will be ... strange?

No, that’s just how Cyriak does eyes

Father Walrus perhaps ig

@@Eatyourburger maybe it could be a double reference, but as a cyriak fan father walrus is right, it's pretty much just how cyriak does things haha.

@@KITTYMANYA yea

The main person we follow has the only focused eyes. basically saying hes the only one thinking about this. while everyone dances happily and with unfocused eyes.

We're all fucked so there's no need to worry

Dan Carter just the we’re all fucked part.

Information about how life is when having severe paranoid psychosis. Sort of. 😂😂😂! (I know, we shouldn't laugh at that disorder, it's probably a hell to live with.)

Anna Backman Excuse me... if you are not already paranoid and psychotic then you might just be living under a rock for the entirety of 2020... or since 2016 because that’s what shit started rolling

@@cezarcatalin1406, 2016? For me life started to fuck up 1999. We all have our things in our lives, whatever they are, however they affect and interfere. I have had my part, or PARTS, believe me. The only way for me to survive mentally has been, and will always be, HUMOR. Without humor; crazy, insane, dark, weird and twisted humor, I had gone mad. The ability of finding the small things in an awful situation to laugh at is a necessity. So I have definitely not been under a rock for the last four years, I've been fighting to come out on the other side of my personal hell, UPON everything else in this world, so don't you dare question me. I'm not a little kid in the twenties - thirties, double the latter and you'll be very close. I've been around long enough to not be suprised of what completely insane things humankind can achieve. Covid-19 won't be the last. "We" can do much worse. This Earth had been a wonderful place without human beings.
