lollipopgirl83 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I just saw the Congratulations video (cause I bought it off iTunes early, should be on YouTube tomorrow) It is actually pretty sad. It sorta reminds me of Yeasayer's Madder Red video with the strange creature and all, but much more endearing. Besides that, the filming is really pretty and...Andrew is half shirtless.

Why is it so sad? Poor.. creature Oh, I just saw it on utube through tumblr. (Don't ask me how that worked, don't have any idea! ) It is really sad and beautifully filmed. But I am not sure I want that film associated in my mind with the song. I just have a quite different picture in my head.... It is somehow with a favorite book: you know how the pple in it look like and then they make a film about it and the actors look quite differently and you're disappointed. Well I am not disappointed seeing Andrew and Ben, but...what can they mean with it? *scratching my head* Edited August 24, 2010 by southeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best and have a blast and a fun day! And I am very interested what do you think about that vid. Yeah, camping....I was at a three day party in a small wooden house with other 50-60 pple with one toilet . The house was real small so we had to camp outside. It was really fun, pple danced till 4 o'clock but it was very cold and then hot in that tent and I hated that "sock" in which I had to sleep, I dunno how do call that in English? Anyways, I am going to London for the next 4 days. Will be here again on Monday. See ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(btw may i ask where you are from?? it isn't shown under your name ) and "sock"... i guess you were refering to a "sleeping bag"? dunno if i'm right though as for the Congratulations vid, to be frank i was a bit disappointed when i FIRST saw it. it's not filled up with a lot of creative stuffs like FD or It's Working-- seemingly it's not as fun as those. but then when i watched it for the second time, i realised how beautiful the whole thing actually is! and i love how you can still find a trace of freakiness in such a beautiful vid and i agree with you... the vid is different from what i have been imagining ever since i heard the song. i NEVER have this kind of sad feeling when i listen to it!! on the contrary the scenes in my mind are all lovely peaceful... esp for the lines "i lay down the quilt upon the lawn...." and i think this's good coz it really offers something that is not in the song and adds to the atmosphere i've been pondering over the meaning of this vid for a while. perhaps the creature represents their "old good music" like Kids & Time To Pretend?? they love these songs like they care about the dying camel. but in the end they just let it go and DISSOLVE. they applause for what they've achieved with this old goodies and they are ready for a new off-mainstream journey okay i' know i'm over-interpreting this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatagordinha Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Less than four weeks now until I see MGMT (I might be going to see Violens too on 1st October.) As for the Congratulations video...yes it's very strange and moving. I always get the impression their videos are based on weird dreams they've had. The creature in the video, and the whole video actually, looks just like the kind of strange dream I often have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your interpretation of Congratulations. It seems somehow "logical" to me... Or perhaps they are refering to their "old way of life" before getting famous? I like the vid more and more, it's moving and dreamy. And it is unobtrusive but impressive at the same time. And very gentle. Yeah, I like it. It's just like with their music: you have to watch it few times but then it grows on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
