I felt it all worked, looking little like a State-sponsored advertising campaign and more like a seduction.Gardener in the Distancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478393904059307841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079722435186265697.post-21545991159662299352013-06-01T02:44:44.169-07:002013-06-01T02:44:44.169-07:00I think I was mesmerized by the images and the rhy...I think I was mesmerized by the images and the rhythm and the voice without thinking about the words. Although for a nature video I thought the name bad seeds is ironic. It's interesting when advertising merges with art - it challenges my tendency to label things as good or bad.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079722435186265697.post-936232843028134482013-05-29T04:57:01.397-07:002013-05-29T04:57:01.397-07:00Whatever, for me the song really works.

It suggests the climate, not of killing, but of time going slowly, of heat, of a sensuality. <br />I haven't been back 'home' since 1995, but the song and the images take me back.

Entirely different to France, raw but civilized.Gardener in the Distancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478393904059307841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079722435186265697.post-36805405091554889762013-05-29T02:05:02.602-07:002013-05-29T02:05:02.602-07:00Bizarre!

They could have at least gotten a bad to cover the song in more appropriate style, maybe change a few lyrics etc....... unless of course the aim is to attract more serial-killing tourists to the area? ;-) matthew schiavellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943076990025685221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079722435186265697.post-62121151026711754202013-05-28T14:12:06.172-07:002013-05-28T14:12:06.172-07:00Now I'm all so hungry and thirsty and kinda wi...Now I'm all so hungry and thirsty and kinda wish I had an airplane!
