E01: Guess??

Hello guys!

Let's talk about the music video that we have watched in class. Have you ever watched it before?

I think the music video is so artistic and full of riddles. Haha. I’m still scratching my head though.

What about you?

Can you guess the reason why the first man is lying on the sidewalk? He said something to the people, right? But what is it? Why everyone is laying on the ground after he explains it?


In your opinion, what’s the message that this music video tries to convey? Why do you say so?

Hmm..

Dare to guess?

Let’s hear from you!

Assalamualaikum and greetings to all..

As you all know, the music video is so artistic and full of riddles. All I know that there is a song played by the band an a weird man who seem to be a psycho that can make others lying like him on the sidewalk.
In my opinion, this music video tries to tell us that you need to mind your own business and leave others. This is because one of the lyrics says, "YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF.."
I guess the weird man said, "I want to take a nap" and all of them get shocked and unconscious. That is my guess. How about yours...?

Hello and welcome to all of you. So, how about the video? interesting right? haha... Good! what do you think the lying man said to others?
In my opinion, what the man say to the others is " I want to fart". So, thats why the other people also lying on the ground because the man has already fart and the odour is so smelly. The truth, all the people are fainted because of the scent. This is my opinion about the music video.
In conclusion, I not really like the way the singer sing the song. Its to over acting i think. Besides that, I really like the story board of the song. It makes me feel so energetic and not bored.

Since the day I watch the music video in the class until now,i keep thinking about what is actually happen to the man was layed on the roadside.

But,I try my best to guess what had been said by that man.
In my view,i think the man layed on the road to hear the singer sang the song.He was wholeheartedly interested with the song.So he just laying there wait for the song to finish.Or maybe the man was waiting from heaven..hehe..

Let's wait what my friends will guess...

As for me, I still can't understand the message that want to delivered by this band. But I think the band music is quite cool, punk and funky.

From my point of view, after watching this music video times and times, I think the guy who lying in the street realize that 'Judgement Day almost here. That's why when he said the word, all the people look up and stares at the sky.

But I didn't expect this video end like this, because we all want to know the real thing of this music video.

Assalamualaikum and hello.Well,first i will say that this music video is a strange video and the style of the singer singing the songs make it more confuse about what is actually that guy doing by lying on the floor.But let me guess,for me the guy is lying down there is because he feel that by lying there,all the problems will be vanish and then tomorrow the world is new again.That's what i guess,so let's hear from other person's opinion.

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone…

About the music video that we have watched last week, I think it is too weird and the lyric is hard to understand. I have never heard this song before. As we can see, there have a strange man who is lying on the roadside. In my opinion, that man lying on the spot because he thinks that he had heard the sound from the sky which told him to do it himself and he will feel as they feel when it got to him. The word “they” is refer to the disable person who can not walk and just lying down. In addition, this man actually thinks that the sounds come from their God in the sky, that’s why he does it immediately. Then, when the other pedestrian come and ask him, he finally told them about it. So, it is the right reason why all of them lying on the roadside. 

hello friends,,,

there are lot of opinions from you guys. so many guesses about what that person saids. since i was watched the clip video last weeks, i think the song its nice even its sound weird. the messages are clear. they told "YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF" and based on that i think its means that what we done is what we want for yourself.

for the person who are lying on the road, its might because he heard that weird sounds from that band and tought its a message comes from their God to lying down which are needs to do it immediately. thats an order.when other pedestrian come and asks, he refuse to tell them about it. maybe he think they would not believe it. but after he told that, others become scare and followed him to lying down while tried to understand the sounds carefully.actually, it sounds from that band.
thats my opinions and guesses for that clip video.whats about you guys?

Assalamualaikum to all Muslim and hello to everyone. There's nothing much that i can say about the music video i watch last week. my first impre. The way of the vocalist of this band sing the song make me want to laugh again and again. even its harder for me to understand the lyric of this song, i guess this song tell us about our life. How people treat themselves to live in this world maybe. At the first, i think the main actor of this music video is lonely. Then, when he walk out from his house to a road, his face shown that his stress. Maybe because his lonely life or about his busy work. Then, he lay on the road to take some rest because he realized nothing he get if he just working everyday. One thing that i can't conclude about this music video is when all other people also laying on the road after the guy explain why he act like that. Maybe because they want o stop this world for a while? that I'm true?... Honestly, i really not have any idea about it. All this just my opinion. so, how about you?

This was my first time watching such a confuse music video. I agreed with Miss Marziah about the artistic of the music as we all can see that the plot is totally different from other music videos. The expression of the vocalist deliver the song is very ridiculous and such that he try to ease out his feelings. About the man lying by the sidewalk, i guess that he might listen to the song and ask others to lay down with him and listen together to what the vocalist feelings. As the song ends, the band realize that they what did they express through the songs had been heard by everyone. That is what i guess..

Hi everyone.About the music video?It is really confuse.Since the first time i watched the music video until i watched it for the second time in hostel, i still cannot understand why the man lay on the road and followed by the others in the end.In my opinion, maybe the man was so touched when he listen to that song that might be related to his life.Besides that, maybe he cannot forget the music that he have listened because it was so interesting until he don't feel like to move.For the last part where everybody also lay on the road, maybe they also touched to hear the story that was told by the man and also shared the same feeling.

For your information, this music video I have never watched it before. Nonetheless, it was quite interesting and it also gave the people good refreshment. No wonder that this music video is artistic and full of riddles. I think I require striking to the main point and reason from what have the music video shown. The guy was lying on the sidewalk, my first expectation it is mostly regarding to problems which he was facing on at that moment. Perhaps, he had the mental or psychiatric problem or others related illness especially insanity. However, this is just my first prediction and I felt that it would be incorrect because when the guys or even the officer asked him was he ok, he could answer them directly and no any anxiety that he was fine sufficiently and just left him alone too. Therefore, I had considered and thought again and again until the second expectation emerged in my mind.
I think that it is probably related to his religion and belief. Maybe he had his certain way to get the information or instruction from his God that the people was full of silliness and blindness of working or the busyness of life only but never knew that thoroughly about the happiness would be sending out in the daily life. Thus, it was required a short break or rest to refresh his own mind in order to think and consider the real meaning deeply of the appropriate instruction given. So he intended to lie down and at the end he really did it on the sidewalk. Apart from that, I think that he told the guys one surprised and amazing sentence: “I AM DOING MY PART FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTION FROM GOD, IT IS ONLY THE WAY TO RESCUE YOU GUYS ALL FROM THE SILLINESS AND BLINDNESS.” When the people heard this unbelievable dialogue, they were shocked and surprised fully, moreover they were afraid from the chastisement from God, so the one suitable way was to follow what had been done by him as a result they were all also followed to lie on the sidewalk!

hello everyone!
now,it's my turn to give my opinion about the music video that i had watched. Actually, this music video is really hard to understand it.
in my opinion, that strange man lying on the road because he hear the song from the sky or from the building. this because before he lying, he look upwards. maybe that song cause the strange man become like this.
then, when the pedestrians try to help him, he avoid himself because he would not they infect by him. but,he finally inform of what actually he become like that. Actually, he lying on the road after he heard the song which have virus, bacteria or parasit behind this. it because when he want to tell it, that band feel nervous and look at the strange man. so, after the pedestrians hear this, they become unconscious and also lying on the road, caused by the song from that band.
is my opinion can be accepted?

From the music video I have watched at last week, it was very interesting because the man suddenly lying on the sidewalk without any information given to us from the music video. What is the information bring out for audience? I can’t even catch up the point.

If let me guess, I think the reason of the man lying on the sidewalk is he wanna listen the music from the singer in that building because the man was stop his step when he arrive that building and suddenly lying there. After that, another man was asked the reason why he lying on the road. I guess he said LYING ON THE SIDEWALK AND LISTEN. Everyone was follow him because they are curious and want to know the reason why the man was lie on the road and finally everyone lying on the sidewalk.

In my opinion, I think the message from the music video is the powerful of singer sing the song. The man was attracted and enjoyable the song from the singer
until lying on there.

I had strived to search for all the related information of this music video. This music video is actually called “Just” by Radiohead. In the music video, the crowd pressures him to tell them the truth why he is lying down at the pathway. What had he say that make the crowd follow him to lie down on the pathway?

The producer of this music clips had said that: “To tell you would deaden the impact, and would probably make you want to lie down in the road too". From the overall comments, many believe that the words the man speaks are not important.


Personally, I would say that what he says doesn’t matter. It is the curiosity which make everyone want to know the reason why the man lying on the pathway. He had a good reason for lying there and would not tell them what that was because he may be did not want to put them through it as well. However, they keep pressing him to tell them the truth. Perhaps the man said out the truth which makes them need to pay the price for their curiosity for knowing others privacy and they followed to lie on the pathway.

Well, its time to guess..

A very interesting music video we have watched last week. I am sure all of us still wondering what that man had told until all the people around him followed exactly what he was doing. I have played the songs all over again for atleast more than 15 times but still have no idea about it.

If we listen to the song word by word, the singer says,
"You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself"
In my opinion, I think that person have give up in life and wanted feel the presence of the god. He thinks the best way is that lying by the roadside and wait for the god to help him out. As the people came to ask about why he is lying there, he doesnt wanted sympathy. As he was forced he told all of them that he is waiting for god to help him out and he says he really can feel the presence of God. So, when others hear this they also wanted to feel the presence of god, so they do follow like that man. Well, this is just my opinion.

Hi..i thought that the music video that we watch is really best. Untill today, i'm still listen to it to understand what actually had happened to the man that was lying. What has happened actually?
Until now i am still guessing what had happened.i am still guessing what the man has said that make all the people also lying with him..But i am trying to guess it.Maybe the man that was lying hypnosis the people around him. He just talk it slowly to them and make them lying themselves just like him. So, i only can guess about it. Hope who are creative can give us more assumption that might sound logic.

assalamualaikum..
say hello to everyone.. hehe..

for me, this video is interesting because its makes me one to think what happen there..
however, the song and the video did not match.. the song is rock, but the video is slow.. so, I did not hear what they talk about.. if we want to make a video, we must know how to combine the song and the video..

good day everyone..

Until today i really don't understand why that man lying there.But,i guess that man lying there because he want to know what he do in his daily life is right or wrong.I think that place is suitable for he because he use that place everyday.
So,we also have to do the same thing before the end of the life.

Hi,nice day everyone here! As like others,I also don't know what the information that music video want to show for us. Although i watch it many times already but i still can't get the informations and the lyrics i also can't listen clearly. I guess that the man lying there because he want to be himself, like what the singer sing "do it to yourself". Maybe he felt very tired and bored with the life now, because everyday is same, everyday need wake up early go to work, need follow the instrutions and so on. He already loss control to what he has now, he want change and to be himself so that why he lying on the road. While others maybe after heard what the man said, and feel have same feeling with the man so they also lying together with the man. This what i can guess to the music video.

This music video is really frustrating. I am so keen in knowing the ending of the music video but it comes with no ending and worst of all I have to guess it myself. I watched this video music for more than 10times. I tried to listen to the lyrics and I pay enough attention to the subtitle. At last, I am proud to tell you all that I have not obtained the exact idea of what is happening and there are a few guesses that I have made. Firstly, I think that the man lying on the street because he is listening to the song that is sing by the group of singer. He might not hear clearly the song but he can feel something outrages. The vibration from the guitar and also the screaming as well as the powerful voice from the singer makes him uncontrollable and eager to listen to the sound produced from the singer’s group. He might think that it is the gift from the god where the earth is singing. So, he lay down to hear clearer and also to feel the vibration from the music instrument played. That’s why he tells everyone that “You don’t want to know. Believe me.” In his assumption, everyone will get crazy and out of idea if he tells the fact to them. In the end, everyone also lay on the ground because they want to feel what the man says to them and some might just fainted once they know the truth out of it.

The music video really made me scratched my head. Till now, I still have no idea what the message is trying to send to the audiences is. I’ve read through some of the comments and I get to know that all of them have not seen this music video before, and neither have I. I agree that it’s full of riddles but I don’t think that it is artistic. In fact, it’s too weird to be artistic unless artistic needs to be weird. Perhaps, artistic = weird + confuse. That’s all about artistic. Hopefully, readers would not be confused by my comment, like how I was confused by the music video.

Like I mentioned earlier, I have no idea what the music video was all about. I just know the singer was disgusting because he kept eating the microphone when he was singing. Imagine everyone do the same while sharing the same microphone. Yuck! As for the first man who was lying on the sidewalk, I think he told the people that he could sense the presence of God. He could hear that God was giving him advices and helping him to solve his problems. As human beings, we face problems all the time. That was why, everyone followed his footstep and laid on the ground to seek for help from God. That’s all my opinions. And how about you?

I agree with Phooi Pheng's idea. Actually, I did not know what the message that they are trying to send to us. Maybe, it really want to make us confuse.

Assalamualaikum....
Let's talk about the music video that we had watched it.Why that man lying down on the street?In my opinion,a night before,that man had a dream and in his dream,somebody had told him to lie down on the street.If people ask him why he lying down,he can tell about that dream and they must lie down also.If he and the other people don't do it,somebody will kill him and the others.So,that is my opinion.
Have a good day.

Hi everyone...

Let's talk about the music video that we have watched in class. Why that man is laying on the sidewalk? And why the other people also do the same thing after that man explains something to them when they are asking him? Until today i really don't understand why that man laying there.

But,i guess he laying there because he have give up in his life and think what he do in his life are right or wrong ways. So, he made a decision to lay there for releasing his problems while hear that music. Why other people laying together? I think they want to show their care of that man so that he can get his calmness. Meaning that, when they laying together, that man will think that there have other people care of him. That's my opinion. Thank you...
