It didn’t become one of my favorites until after I saw the vid. I’d heard it prior to that, and took the stage thing literally - like, okay, you’re performing on a stage… that’s what you do…? Then I watched the video and “Oh. Oooooooh. Oh shit!” It’s a metaphor, and they pull ZERO punches. Extremely critical of humanity, but without being whiny or doomy (well… in a ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ kinda way: it doesn’t feel doomy but the actual message… yeah…). And they pulled it off with fucking marionette puppets somehow without making it feel silly. HOW?!
