The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be 

"Greatest ever" accolades can go to a lot of vids, thankfully. Tom Petty's "Don't come around here no more" is one. Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity" is another. Yes's "Leave It" is yet another. (OK Go sits in its own category -- you can argue for hours over which is their best, and you can also argue whether they're a band first, or into making music only so they can make really cool videos.) Most people go for mediocrity, which makes it easy to make a boring video (which is what most bands do.) On that, you can at least hope to see all of the really awesome videos easily. If you dug deep enough, you could compile maybe 50-100 hours or so of truly creative videos.

And a Influence from Busby Berkeley

@@tonosazules8221 Busby Berkeley on K...!

Ah Now, reminds me this vocal was Noel…‼️💥😳✨ Whats holy and courtesy words Noel sings…‼️💥😮💧💦 So, today I'd been wanted to listening "Tomorrow Never Knows" of Beatles…‼️💪😤✨

I would rather like to listening "Alone Again"…‼️💢🤔💥💣

@@sayokokikuchi8382 Naturally .😁

Wait until you see Star Guitar (same director, Gondry)

Chems have many cool mv's, even on new album(which also was great)

Could say that about almost any Chemical Brothers video

check out the director's cut of Michael Jackson's thriller

oh yeah...i love THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP

@Vincent H. 🍻

@Vincent H. oh yeah, i like it...i'm a huge movie fan !!! greetings from berlin/germany

ohh ok... this explain a lot

3:22 did she unintentionally drop the clock off the the balcony

They are all supposed to look the same, but in that they are very different, right?

Those aren't GIRLS.Take a second look.

oh yep I see what you mean...whatever..the dancers are amazing. So cool and professional. They really make this whole thing come to life.

It's depiction of a young woman's nightmares (the girl is played by actress and dancer Stephanie Landwehr).

I don't know about greatest ever, but arguably the best of Michel Gondry's work.

¿¿¡¡The SONG goes well with the VIDEO!!? Mmmm..... ¿¡Are you sure it´s not THE OTHER WAY AROUND!?

@@NerdilyDone Kyle is right

It may be your opinion but it's also fact.

In my top 4 all time. Take a look at Trentemøller - Take me into your skin. It is a true masterpiece. First video for the title song of debut album and it is pure gold.

simonjz05 agreed lyrics vocals and beat are all absolutely ace.

So true about Noel Gallagher on vocals. Also did “Hey Boy, Hey Girl,” with them, too.

@@hewgrebe4771 ...Are you sure you don't mean Setting Sun?

@@hewgrebe4771 Setting Sun*

That’s Noel, no way. He has that whiny British voice. No offense, not all brits sound whiny.

Nope that was Setting Sun

Before Setting sun was released it got the nick tomorrow never Noels

Exactly, always when we play Tomorrow never knows I expect the Chemical Brothers to start..

love how this comment pretty much gives 0 credit to The Chemical Brothers lmao

same

Too bloody right! Taylor Swift and the likes have not got an ounce of greatness like this? Music was some much better back in the 90s! Maybe it's because I turned 13 in 1990 and saw the decade through my formative years? But I can't think of anything in the 21st Century that really gets me...

I think the end of sampling did it

I feel like each decade tends to rebel against the previous decade, with some exceptions. The "free spirit" sense of the 60s was a retaliation against the comparatively stiff and proper 50s. The Disco/Punk/Metal era of the 70s was a reaction against the hippies of the 60s, and so on. Anyway, the 90's had a whole generation X angst (articulated well in the movie Fight Club in the "spiritual war" discussion) rebelled against the optimism and perceived decadence of the the 80's. And that was fine, and each era produced it's own amazing music. But then 2000 rolled around and instead of a rebellion against Gen X cynicism, it was embraced and amplified. A whole generations (probably more) of people who are inspired by nothing but offended by everything. Meanwhile the internet and social media matured and things became more homogenized in terms of technology and exposure. In short, music (and a lot of other parts of the culture) became more lazy, more "art by committee", and more bland. Marketing became more refined, coupled with social media trends, so the "sizzle" can be sold much more easily even if the "steak" sucks. Hence why a mediocre singers like Beyonce and Taylor Swift can sell billions, when far better singer-songwriter-musicians can barely fill a coffee house because they lack a marketing apparatus. What is the great, original art that the last 25 years has produced? Lord of the Rings maybe and a few animated films. And even Lord of the Rings could be argued as being not original since the source material is so old. It's an artistic desert of bland, boring, gray, uninspired and untalented content out there.

Lack of talent, tarty women and autotune.

We grew up.

I bet that was incredible.

@@kevincage1641 It was and thank you so much!

Good choice 😊

@@mattkennedy6115 - Thank you! It was amazing.

That would have had to make a wonderfully exciting wedding!!

I miss mtv

@@egads3696 Me too man. Me too. I miss a lot of things. But change is one of those inevitable things that sucks or is good, often no in between, and when it came to MTV fell into the suck category lol.

1999 was right about the time that MTV transitioned into pure suck, thanks to pop music and TRL. You could still see good videos (usually late at night or in the morning, like this one), but from 2000-2004 and on it was only pop music and trendy Top 40 rock and I think by 2005 there wasn't even music videos anymore outside of the occasional episode of Making The Video. MTV had basically relegated all music content to their satellite channels of MTV2 and MTVHits, and even those became inundated with trash after a few years. From 2005 and on, MTV was all reality shows and complete garbage. I don't even know why the network keeps the "MTV" name outside of the obvious brand; I mean...how can it be "Music Television" without any actual music content?

@@starwarsunfiltered7848 True. But MTV2 was still pretty legit. I loved it when they did A to Z in the summer, I remember a buddy of mine always tried to tape every video but would get like 5 blank VHS tapes in and give up lol. I think most the videos I watched were on MTV2 at that point.

I posted my comment too soon. This whole music video is blowing my mind. Must've taken a ton of planning and prepping to film this!

Effort

The man who made this video was the only human being I've ever seen adequately portray what it is like to dream on film. If you haven't watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I highly recommend doing so.

@@chaw1032 great film...

Agree.. Star guitar is another music video i like from the chemical brother

Wow, never realized it was him, but now that I know, it's obvious.

Noel at his best.

Jesús Landín I thought I'd got it wrong until I saw your comment.

Better than anything he did with his band. Just saying.

Same here!

+zspud1994 Sure is a good one.

+zspud1994 Hi, then you should watch other work by Director Michel Gondry : Lot of Music videos, and film like "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind"

Yes, that's a great movie! I'd recommend a watch of his videos for the White Stripes' 'Fell In Love With A Girl' and 'The Hardest Button To Button'.

+zspud1994 It triggers acid flashbacks for me. :)

I don't get why he isn't mentioned in the description...🙈

also the brothers

magic

Let's face it. He's good for this visual thing that works well for music videos. Most of his feature films are dog poop.

he must have tripped on cid and k more than few times

+Edan Khan Don't get it hurt! Just search for Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze and others 90's directors that rised from Music Clips. The explanation on how they did it is simple, they used to really use their brains instead of hurting it.. or let google be your memory today!

+Edan Khan , "how did these mofos manage to create this...in fucking 1999".. my thoughts exactly :P the video clip is amazing, I really enjoy watching it.

+Edan Khan Just like in the early 90's (and late 80's), it was the newest tricks and rising computer power. This is a lot of practical effects, but the smooth morph-transitions are the biggest "trick".

+Edan Khan - FACT! Although I would say 95ish to 99 and throw in Daft Punk, Beck, Fiona Apple, Jamiroquai ... the list is MIND BOGGLING! Glad I am not alone in noticing that particular time period.

+Hiro Protagonist +Edan Khan - Also... Fat Boy Slim, Moby, Green Day, Notorious B.I.G., Portishead .... and and and and *twitches*

I thought that, with the drone and one chord. (ish)

@@terryperring104 and the similar break on the snare, and the vocal effect, and the backwards noises.. and .. and

i think its deliberately Noel Gallaghers version of Tomorrow Never Knows, well its definitely an homage to it anyway as hes well known as a massive Beatles fan

@@bannjaxx private phycedelic reel is more tomorrow never knows, I'd say both tunes are 2 cheeks of the same arse. Both class 👌

But setting sun is definitely more similar to it, I would say

you should check the rest of the career of the director: michel gondry

TXS-Ballistics Thanks, I will.

DB Pooper Agreed. Gondry is hard to beat! - love the Hardest Button to Button vid he did for White Stripes.

DB Pooper He might be the master of diy creative practical effects

DB Pooper this was a big budget video (around $100 000) which used then groundbreaking vfx

80-е, до появления "цифры"... куча жанроа и венец музыкальных стилей, потом всё по наклонной скатилось

So true. It's sad because we are supposed to become more intelligent as time goes by but it think people are getting dumber. 🤔

わかめとけとうFFなあ

Just rediscovered this and cannot believe how fresh it sounds, so alive!!

@@emilyscialom9445 これを再発見しましたが、これがどれほど新鮮で生き生きと聞こえるのか信じられません!! Kore o sai hakken shimashitaga, kore ga dorehodo shinsende ikiiki to kikoer　現芸７７ことは

The psychodelic era of the Beatles... Late 60s early 70s, I'm The Walrus type of song.

@German Morawski The Chemical Brothers are huge Beatles fans. They've said how much they consider Tomorrow Never Knows to be where their kind of music has its origin. They even play it as their "entrance music" at the start of their gigs.

I started listening to this album today, it didn't hit how similar this was to Tomorrow Never Knows until I read your comment. It makes sense why they got Noel for this track

They really did a good job of re-creating the sound and effect of Lennon’s vocal on Tomorrow Never Knows. Noel’s vocal delivery was also on point, as usual.

Exactly what i was thinking. Sounds so much like Tomorrow Never Knows.

Gang

same!!!

No bc I just watched that vid and came here

same here!!

Sammmee

Garlicjr Made I wish i was a teen back in 99..was only 10 but obviously remember it..the Music was better,Tv was better and people actually needed to have talent to be 'famous'

Garlicjr Made I turned 21 in 1999. The second half of the 90's was the best time of my life. Worked like a mule and studied harder but the music I encountered was so great!

Amen - bands, not DJs, instruments, not computers, raw emotion rather than overproduced and soulless. One episode of 120 minutes revealed more talent and played more videos, in those two hours than MTV has in the last decade.

Garlicjr Made Yes, funny how the world always seems to go to shit after your specific youth had come to an end. You are just THAT special and unique.

Rainy Jane everyone's entitled to their rose coloured memory glasses

Check out other videos Michel Gondry has done; he's amazing at what he does!

Benny Benassi's Satisfaction ain't bad either...

Lay down all thought, surrender to the void....

Exactly!! Whole lot of people in the 90's that made musical careers off that one song lol. That's not to talk shit about those acts, it just tells you how fucking great the beatles were.

Turn on !!! To me feliz año nuevo!!!

Camilo Mejía totally with you here. Now all I hear with this is “Tomorrow Never Knows.” That is good because Noel Gallagher sings background, too. Thanks.

wrong song but same beat

I remember being 7 and thinking the same thing XD thanks dad you gave me nightmares

That day I realised that my favourite CB's song has Noel's vocals.

Funny he got that a lot. His vocal song and Liam are strikingly different as the day and night.

POE V

И так каждый раз происходит. Та музыка из той эпохи, которая была сделана с душой и огромным талантом до сих пор радует окуная в хорошие воспоминания.

Cuanta nostalgia y recuerdos, la escuché por primera vez en el año 1999 tenia yo 17 años

Oh yeah, never noticed that.

Dude, I know exactly what you mean.

@@spacewolf182 Why dont you both go watch the movie Hackers (1994) on youtube like the rest of us.

isnt Gondry still alive?

I think I watched the video once a day on MTV through the summer of 1999.

It's even more tripping and awesome after having drank a bottle of Robitussin 😵‍💫

Unbelievable!

4 GENIUS. Michel Gondry too!

no way! I didnt know he did the clip but it figures - the clip is amazeballs.

+RoasterMcdougalify the tune melody and vocal is by noel Gallagher. the production sound is two chemicals. and the videoclip is by director cinema Michel gondry. this video is very complex edith.

Me too bud

For a split second i was very angry

cara de um fucinho de outro

Same...

Some might call it troubled, I call it fun & exciting. 😂

Take enough acid or 2ci or 25i, you will be as creative as him! ! !

Well, imaginative at least. Creativity requires making something. And don't forget about mushrooms!

@@workingjoe898 Really? So only he takes acid?

かみきりLINE　２OE　❢

had the same situation a few years ago.. THE SAME! :) was always searching for "how does it feel like".. searched for years and wanted to find it so badly. then it just happened.. one evening, in my bed. amazing :)

was feeling exactly the same, and I was sure its Chem bros and 90s so played every song there was until I came to this !!!

I've lost this song several times and found it somehow again and again. :)

I know the feeling. Just went through it now after hearing a similar song. The vocals sounded like Ozzy to me. I thought it might have been a rock song. The I remembered it was an electronic band. I always confuse Crystal Method with Chemical Bros. That was my next search, then I thought maybe Cheicla bros and BINGO! Whew! I love this song.

Me paso igual, se me quedo grabado el coro, pero no me acordaba quien la cantaba ni nada..

there is literally fancy cg throughout the video

LOL underrated

Video ressembles a huge dose of LSD, right?😂
