My take on the whole "Thom Dancing" meme. Video from Radiohead's "Lotus Flower", audio from Monkey Gone Mad's "Up & Down".
Thom Yorke Dances to NASA
I was recently introduced to the Thom Yorke/Lotus Flower meme and decided to create this. Unlike others who parody the video I decided to give Thom Yorke ...

classic with these piece of shit movies.

@Mr11MUSICMAN I'm STILL laughing about that and it's been about 5 minutes.
That, and how the one guy was sweating bullets during hitler's rant.
Hilarious!
I do not own anything shown here, it's just a parody. I know there are more videos like this one but I couldn't find anyone with the full song, so here it is :D.
Pretty awesome representation of depression. There's no reason you can't
get up or brush your teeth or look up at the clock you just can't. You just
want everyone to let you get to it on your own and the idea of being
touched or interfered with is uncomfortable and panicking. Plus the bit at
the end where others hear the thoughts depression gives you and they're
told how futile anything else is and they all just give in is well is
fucking genius. The idea that you can't know why depression effects them
until you're hit by it like seriously this is incredible.
+crissy4445 Yeah, I guess you could see it that way. It's just that I think the themes have more to do with our need to know everything about existence and the universe, where as your interpretation is more about depression. But, i can see how both our interpretations converge.
+assmane999 yeah that's kinda what I was saying. I mean all depression really is is the unholy knowledge of how pointless and meaningless life is. I suppose when people try to understand depression but won't accept the viewpoint and dig deeper is just the same as wanting to find out the meaning in everything which is a pretty stupid thing to do :P
+crissy4445 I respect your interpretation of it. It is an ambiguous, somewhat surreal video, so it is open to multiple interpretations. The way I see it, he his aware of a very disturbing truth about existence: the nature of which would automatically destroy a person's psyche if they learned what it was. The whole point of the video is about our insatiable curiosity. The characters in the video, and even us, watching the video, want to know badly why he is lying down, even though we know that it might have grave consequences for us to know. There's some things in this universe we are just not meant to know. What I think is brilliant about this video, is how we become like the guy yelling at the man to tell him whats wrong. People have been frustrated by this videos for 20 years because the secret is not revealed to them. btw: the reason I am not convinced by your take on it is: depression is very personal. When a depressed person reveals what's bothering them, it very rarely bothers the person hearing it. Also, you say that "they're told how futile everything else is and they just give in".....but the guy asks the man if he's lying there because there's no point in living, and the man says that's not it. So, it;s not because of the futility of it all. It's supposed to suggest something more metaphysical than that. Something beyond our understanding.
