A Vidclip a Day: Korn, “Coming Undone”

Since it’s Saturday again (so quickly? damn!), here’s a dancey tune from Korn. Half-serious, half-joking, the video does its job quite well, as the inner world of the protagonist falls apart.

Keep holdin’ on when my brain’s tickin’ like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts have come again to get me
Sweet-bitter words unlike nothing I have heard
Sing along mocking bird, you don’t affect me

That’s right: deliver it to my heart
Please strike – be deliberate

Wait, I’m coming undone
Irate, I’m coming undone
Too late, I’m coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate
Wait, I’m starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I’m coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate

Korn have always been quite good at navigating the ruins of the mad/sick/hurt human mind, and this is no exception. The difference is that, at least in this song, they do it in a very groovy, move-your-body manner. Have a look, and have fun. Q. W3ary out.

A Vidclip a Day: Primus, “Southbound Pachyderm”

Several days ago, while I was sifting the video tubes of the interwebs for Primus’s “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver”, I stumbled upon this graceful piece of theirs. Since I have little time – got to do one video per day, remember – there’ll be no imagery and no extensive elaborations this time. I’ll just say that it’s a song against poaching, and for good old big grey smelly cuddly smiling noisy long-memoried elephants – and other friendly animals exhibiting similarly endearing pachyderm characteristics. Primus rarely fall back into this kind of resolute, calm mood, so enjoy it while it lasts. Q. W3ary over & out.
