Can't go wrong with Clams kid.

Many people didn't like his rework of Washed Out's track…

That's ok though, we've all got our own opinions...like how I don't like this weeknd video at all...

Love it. So different, makes you want to watch the full things through. The Weeknd is just what the world needs.
Quazi Motion 2 months ago

this is really really amazing. I mean... I'm more intrigued by this concept. how the world separated into two planets because the girl cheated on him... very powerful song with powerful images
David Heslop 2 months ago

I noticed the same...like they say "it's like we're two worlds apart", that was a good image concept, I understood that part at least. Other parts I'm not too clear about the imagery. What is the meaning of this song though? Is he saying that she cheated and he doesn't care and he still wants her?
jesse omonudo 2 months ago

yea... he saying that she cheated and he doesn't care
GreenSquad 2 months ago

Abel doesnt care because hes gonna cheat on her and "not wash his sins" meaning hes not gonna shower and let her taste the OTHER girl! crazy song lol
Christopher Prince Boucher 2 months ago

Certainly original and captivating. For the debut video of an independent artist, this is revolutionary.

There is a lot of symbolism in this video. I can see why there are many who do not get it, but if you do get it, it is a very powerful video. I see duality, metaphysics, there are still some things I do not get. But that is art in full effect, the artist leaves it up to you to figure out. Let the viewer come up with their own truths. Great Video and kudos on planting the seeds to those who have not yet awaken.

Im really curious who was decided on this story and creative direction, Abel or the director? Who ever did is a VERY aware individual.

By the way, if any of you are confused by the visuals or the story you can read the breakdown here tinyurl.com/7u28dnt

This video is brilliant. I dont even know how I stumbled across it, I forgot. I've been reading a lot of the comments and so forth and theres obviously some people who don't like it but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If this is the official, I'm glad he chose this one because it doesnt look anything like all the other fan-made ones
Nada 2 months ago

For those that say this video is garbage and don't understand it, Google these words: "anunnaki" "nephilim"
"hopi prophecy" those are just some. Also the original Egyptians were black as depicted in this video.
