Welcome to Gaia! ::

That was really well-made! Lol at that random shot of you waving xD

Wow eek , very detailed. I reckon I should post some stuff up here. But Posting something after that is...wow

lol For real! Nice video, Jake. I remember seeing it a couple months ago. I love the water spewing from your mouth--looks crazee! ;D

Very well done, Irene! I could see everything perfectly. Thanks for taking the hour to share this with us. I can safely say that's the only kind of army I'd ever join. xD

Wow, this is a great start to this thread. *does happy dance*

My Gift to You

I guess Ill copy Irene and show the symbolism behind this. At the time I thought it was an amazing song because it basically filled me with an odd anger. It was crazy man. The breakdown in that song is one of the most powerful things I have ever heard. Just the tingle in your spine when you hear that is amazing. After school all the time I would go out to the swingsets in the park, plug in my ipod, and just listen to it about five times. I would imagine so many images. Piecing them together was the fun part. There was
also a girl who I had dated and really liked but she broke up with me for another guy but I won't bore you with that story so hear we go.

The video starts out with a beautiful flower against a black canvas. The flower quickly wilts and dies. (This is going on at about the first five seconds on the song when the bagpipes are playing solo)

The room that the band are standing is very similar to the room in the Somebody Someone video. Very dirty and garage-esque. Those powerful chords hit and the camera shakes a little every time David slams on the bass pedal or snare. The band is basically just jamming.

Every once in a while there will be a home video of a younger Jonathan holding a woman on a beach or boardwalk. A fresh faced young man having the time of his life with this dream girl. There are a couple shots of them kissing. You know, all that sappy love stuff that we humans tend to feed off of. Every once in a while it will turn back to a more weathered Jon. Making faces of disgust. This continues on until around :45 when one of the happy videos are paused and then starts to burn away as the bagpipes do that weird eruuu thing. (Haha I described it as best as I could).

When the intro is over the video flashes back to the band. Every once in a while you'll see a video of Jonathan crouched over in a corner hitting his head against the wall at every 'pop' of the snare drum. His expression and posture almost bring him out to be insane.

Around 1:13 when the singing begins Jonathan is still sitting in his corner. His eyes have red and black circles around them, his hair more wild than usual, and his facial expressions tired. (If you want to have more of an idea the famous still shot on Jon leaning against the wall in the Make me Bad video is pretty good.) But as he is singing he is often grabbing his hair and pulling, bobbing his head and body frequently, and rubbing his temples.

As the chorus comes there weathered Jon is still singing.

Your throat I take grasp.
Then your eyes roll back.
Love racing through my veins.
Your heart stops beating.
Black orgasms.
I kiss your lifeless skin.

But when then another Jon says 'Can't you Feel the pain' (Which is the part overlapping the chorus) This Jon is the Jon in the room with the band. He is dressed neatly, his long black Goth Garb on and his hair not as wild as the Weathered Jon. Hopefully I explained that well enough. If not here.

Weathered Jon: Normal Chorus
Jam room Jon: 'Can't you feel the pain'

OK. So I continue.

For the next verse it is the Jam room Jon singing. When this Jon sings he seem more lively and almost giving the camera maniacal smiles. When the ending of that verse comes you see Jonathan waving his finger and saying 'How could you be so cold?' with a very evil smile on his face. Almost like a sarcastic shun. When the chorus starts again you see the weathered Jon singing with the normal part. It is the same as the first chorus except this time the Jam room Jon is huddled over the weathered Jon shoulders. They both sing the same parts as the last chorus though.

When the odd instrumental bridge comes up you see a blurry delayed camera focused on Jon rocking back and forth. (3:41). Then at approximately 3:52 you see a camera focused on a pare of bare feet. The camera slowly starts to ascend and by the anatomy you see can see it is a woman. When the camera reaches the face you see it is the woman from the videos at the beginning of the song. Her expression is blank and her face pale. At about 4:00 Weathered Jon sees the girl (who is in the same room as he) gets up, and walks toward her. His facial expression is somewhere between awe and confusion.

At 4:19 when he starts singing his mouth is moving but barely. His eyes are almost show anger.

Here I am just a man
Feeling pain gives me life
Relieving yours is my plan
I'd do anything just to see through your eyes

At the end of that when he is repeating the 'Just to see through your eyes' his hand start to get closer to the girls throat. Every now and then you will see the Jam room Jon (sorry for the stupid sounding name by the way. Sounds like a circus side show) by the shoulders of of the weathered Jon. Whispering things in his ear, almost telling him 'do it'.

At about 4:55 when Jonathan starts singing 'I HATE YOU CAN"T YOU FEEL THE PAIN?' He does not grab the girls neck but instead grabs the Jam room Jon's neck. The woman falls to the ground. Weathered Jon is still shouting in the Jam room Jon's face. Repeating the 'I hate you can't you feel the pain'. The expression on the Jam room Jon's face is scared and surprised.

At 5:13 when the music gets heavier but Jon is still saying the same thing you see the weathered Jon's fingernails dig into the Jam room Jon's neck. Blood starts slowly dripping form Jam Room Jon's neck onto Weathered Jon's hands.

At 5:30 when Jon gasps after he sings Weathered Jon falls to the ground in a fit of tiredness. Jom room Jon falls quickly to the floor (It doesn't take a genius to realize that he is dead.) Between 5:30-5:38 you see Weathered Jon crying and struggling on the floor. Almost acting insane.

Between 5:38-5:53 you see the woman crawl over to weathered Jon and slowly hush him giving him almost a feeling of warmth. Weathered Jon calms down and looks at the woman with his blank expression and glittery eyes.

At 5:55 when the last chorus starts it is now the woman who is singing the regular chorus and weathered Jon who is singing the 'Can't you feel the pain' part.

The camera slowly starts to fade away from the two. The woman leaning over Jon who is laying on the floor. Then the Jam room Jon over by the side sitting in a pool of his own blood. After the song is over another home video of Jon sitting in a bed. It is probably the morning. He rubs his eyes.

The camera person says (presumably the girl) says "Who do you love" and Jon says with a raspy morning voice "You". The video fades out.

How everybody looks

Deven (woman)

Jake, that was beautiful. I really felt for Jon cry

Edit: Just read it again while listening to the song - it really works! If this were an official video, I just know it's going to be one of those ones that I watch over and over again and then cry xD

I tried,I've been listening to "Seed" lately xD
Everyone else's is better. I'm not very good at expressing my 'creativity"

"Seed"
jonathon is walking around a type of tunnel thats deserted and looking around until the music stops
he busts out doing his headbanging dance
once the music calms down and he starts to sing
the camera closes in on his face as he starts to chant;

Every day it gets a little harder, can't seem to get away.
I remember there's a certain place, a place I wish I'd stay.
I feel so lost within - pressured, I'm headed for that day.
Just one thought in my head, really. Do I need this fame?

He starts to walk around
He looked towards a wall to see a picture of a small boy playing

Every time, god damn, I look at my son (seed), I see something I can't be.
Beautiful and care free, that's how I used to be.
Like some god damn ******** freak, I'm so pressured, I'm so worried,
Something takes a hold of me, something I can't believe.

Then out of no where a small gray arm grabs him and when he goes to look no one's there

I lay in bed at night and wonder, should I go on this way?
It's the only thing I really got for now, and it's called fame.

It flashes back to show him lying in his bed.Then to where he's getting out of a limosene in his Blue jumpsuit

Every time, god damn, I look at my son (seed), I see something I can't be.
Beautiful and care free, that's how I used to be.
Like some god damn ******** freak, I'm so pressured, I'm so worried,
something takes a hold of me, something I can't believe.

Jonathon continues to walk, he finds a puddles and starts to sing;

So I see this face so innocent and fine... and so fine.
So I see this face and I realize it's mine.


When he screams "ah ah ah" he shakes his head rapidly and starts stomping his feet

I feel the rattle...

So I see this face so innocent and fine... and so fine.
So I see this face and I realize it's mine.

I feel the rattle...



Every time, god damn, I look at my son (seed), I see something I can't be.
Beautiful and care free, that's how I used to be.
Like some god damn ******** freak, I'm so pressured, I'm so worried,
something takes a hold of me, something I can't believe.



Like some god damn ******** freak!

He slams his fists down hard onto the ground,and screams loudly

And the lights fade out
