true that makes you think if there really is a almost satanic agenda in these record labels when it comes to promotion woodkids forgotten its already proven that major label pop songs will have extra harmonics at htz that draw in young listeners yet you only find those eerie sounds and htz levels in songs put out by justin bieber, drake, lamar, west, swift,A max, t scott and many many more. Not much a fan of this guy, but even xxxtentacion made wind of this a few times trying to explain it out to his younger audience they are the equivalent to the modern day pied piper if you think about it. the day you tell me God intended us to fight and throw away happiness over a inanimate piece of paper is the day all get down on my knees and suck LaVey's cock till then we should boycott shitty music if the sheep didn't throw such a fuss and were not in overwhelming numbers maybe it'd work.

I tear up. Seriously, it takes me to places that... right now doesn't exist. the 90's , i remember going with my family to the house of my grandpa, that right now he is dead. I remember playing with my elder brother, and with my elder sister too! right now, i cannot say the same. My grandpa died, and my grandma too. the 2013 my elder brother died in an accident, and this 2015 my elder sister tried to suicide... and my life is shit, all shit. but still, i every day wake up, with strenght to continue, to keep the rest of my family okay,. Today i going to fish and hunt to a lake near of my grandpa house, in the field. I go there , and all that rest is ash. I see the house broken, all the field very ugly, and nothing. Just nothing. So when i listen to this song, it's make me think that that house is still alive, and that we're playing like those years... So yes, i love this song, it tears me up. And remember a lot of my family that right now aren't here.

I may be over analyzing this but to me this video illustrates a breaking out of war and the lost of childhood innocence. You can tell that this family live a simple life with little contact with the modern outside city world. It starts of with the woman showing the child a book of space, possibly showing him how vast the world beyond the countryside he knows is. Later, it shows his older brother (maybe) showing him how to make a stake and prodding it towards him, maybe lightly telling him how to use it if need be in war. Then it shows an old man showing his war scars to the young boy. Towards the end, it seems like drones are flying overheard the house especially it sounds like war sirens when this is happening. Although the boy holds on to the man's hand, his face doesn't show he is too scared so maybe he is ready as he has grown up.

+ladyjchow The start is the dead giveaway. I mean there's a child inside and adult under the all revealing "eye" of a scanner. So loss of innocence in the face of a harsh truth, world, i believe that the reason isn't specifically war. But that's my view. I think each person is meant to take the end the "end of the golden age" as they see it. Heck, first time i saw this i was waiting for the E.T. to show up in the window, considering the Universe book. Certainly a watch me again video. It changes definition as you go deeper in.

@JossLun

8 жыл бұрын

+ladyjchow I would add that the child is feared because he knows that his family could be broken, in opposition to the lyrics at 9:02. Agressivity grows through the video. He's the witness of an argue between adults (his parents, cousins ?) who were kissing earlier. He plays calmly, in dreams or with his brother. Then, the family plays arm wrestling, football and war. He throws toys away. The moment with the car could be compared with an epic cavalry charge (8:49). For me, the swamp and the flying swans stand for death. And the family is so careless that it makes it even more tragic. I'm maybe far from Woodkid's ideas, but there are so many possible meanings... I love this song.

@hunted4blood

8 жыл бұрын

+ladyjchow I kinda thought that it was a double story. First there's the story of a boy losing his innocence. At the same time I thought that it takes place in a community built on something like mining, a community whose golden age has long past, hence the old man telling the kids about his scars. But you never know eh.

Its been 8 years since this song came out, and 8 years since I have been listening to it quite regularly. Every year I come back here to this video, sometimes to just appreciate the masterpiece, but more often than not to just mourn the fact that Happy won over it. It's been almost a decade and yet I will never be able to get over it.

Max Richter isn’t getting enough love in the comment section. He has so much great music, especially his piece “November.”

The thing that defines Woodkid from all other artists from me is the fact that he is that, a Artist. His music and music videos all have a meaning and that meaning is different for each person. He doesn't need half naked girls to make his videos interesting. I could watch his videos all day long and still have that connection with it. Actually the more times I watch it, the bigger the connection becomes. Really love this video and the music just fits in perfectly. Again, amazing work ***** :D!

Watching in 2024 with the way the world is going this music will give you the strength to move forward and fight for what we all once had

I live in France and when I'll walk through Paris with this music I will feel like arno

wish I could find this 10min version on spotify

The most impressive clip I ever saw. I shared it in tears with my husband and children that time. In 2017 my husband passed away and in 2020 just before the Lockdown my youngest son at the age of 32 years. This song with a self made clip and Run boy Run we used at his funeral 😢. This evening the 14th of June 2020, I was in Tivoli Utrecht (The Netherlands) as a sort of memory evening. Thanks for your music! It helped me through! 👍

Ahhh... Max Richter and Woodkid is such a great combination.

We love We hate We help We destroy We kill We make We judge And after we are just humans all of us And at the end we will die soon or later you will have accept it Live reach leave a touch in this world

i drink whiskey and weep while watching this.

Wow, This video has left me speachless. The music was very fitting and although there is no diologue, the visuals tell a story. The story of a large family all living together. Showing the good times, the bad and also how some have learned and passed down information. I know exactly what its like for the kid, Ive been there. Good job everyone involved in this, this is true art on many different levels.

I think all four of his music videos (The Golden Age, Run Boy Run, Iron, and I Love You) tell a story about a boy and his life. At the beginning of The Golden Age, it opens with a scene where a man appears to be made of stone, and inside is a small boy who I think may be his younger self. In this song, a boy grows up with his brother, but his father/older brother and his wife/girlfriend fight often and the boy's brother becomes upset. In Run Boy Run, the boy's brother runs away and joins the military. At first he is exuberant and feels free; but eventually comes to find that he can't run forever. The boy's brother is killed in the war. The boy is distraught. In Iron, the boy grows up and is fighting his inner demons (the black smoke), and is dressed in a marble suit. The people run from the smoke but cannot escape it, thus he loses his fight against it. I think the keys could symbolize how close he and his brother were? They are never pictured apart, so each could symbolize something along the lines of unlocking true happiness. They are also sometimes seen with a white utopia (which looks like an organ if you noticed) which is now unobtainable since the brothers are no longer together. Thoughts? Finally in I Love You, we see the boy in a church. He begins by telling the crowd "Today I’m going to tell you a story about man who drowned in cold waters of ocean after the loss of loved one. It’s story about man who died twice." He is referring to his brother who had previously died in the war, and how he died emotionally because of it. The boy may have turned to religion to appease his shattered heart, and became a priest. In the next scene, we see the priest in the wild, obviously upset. He stumbles towards the ocean and swims out, then drowns himself. A pod of whales swim around him, which I'm not sure but I think could symbolize his life, or family, and how far he's come? I don't really know about that one. In the end of I Love You, we watch as the man turns to marble and dies. The last scene shows the priest turning around and his hands transforming into stone. This leads us back to the beginning of The Golden Age, where we see the boy of the priest which I assume was made of stone and the boy still trapped inside of him. So that's just what I got out of the videos, what did you guys think?

It's an interesting theory

I've had this song on while I read many books, while I drew, while on the road; and it never fails to make me feel alive.

I love music from 7:49

That boy is really the guy of the church in "I Love You":his childhood. If you can see,is the boy who was playing with whale toys. For that is inside the other guy in the begining of the video. Nice. Brilliant.

This is a masterpiece.

3:47 - a precious moment!!! no one has ever looked at me with more kindness, tenderness and love than my son.

I love those trumpet sounds with piano and the dark and magnificent mood of Woodkid's songs

It has been 2yrs when I first listened to this song.Time went really fast...

This is one of the two true MASTERPIECES that came out in my lifetime. The second one would be Björk's "Black Lake" And I place it second because "Black Lake" is a younger work of ART, ART that makes you FEEL something other than lust

I don't understand at the dawn of 2022 that music like this only gets 6.5 million views😕

7:40 my fav part

What a god damn beautiful music video. I enjoy my city life just fine. But... I wouldn't have minded a rustic life.

This music is absolutely breathtaking.

Wow, why does this feel so honest and genuine like it's ripped from real life.

I don't understand people who comment about video being too long or different because as caption say it's about the childhood of the vocalist which has a lot of meanings for him. Even if I am not the biggest fan of The golden age I think it's very important and beautiful in it's own way

Is it me or this song is about the joy of childhood and the fact that for some of us that "golden age is over", the only things remains the memories of things that we will never experience again as we had when we were children: "We miss the mornings in the sun The playgrounds in the streets The bliss of slumberland"

Every woodkid music video is like a movie/short story. Not to mention the music is the reason why they're unforgettable. Woodkid, your music is fucking awesome dude

What a frickin trumpet :goosebumps:

My mom (!!!) introduced me to Woodkid (one of his songs was used it a show they've seen) and I know listened to several of these (on headphones...). The music is so intense that I don't dare to move while listening. Wow. Just wow.

Probably one of the most beautiful music videos I have ever had the pleasure of watching. The music is so inspiring and unique.

Absolutely beautiful

Wish this version was available on Spotify, it’s so much better than the album version and that’s really saying something since the album version is fantastic

I was listening to this without knowing who it was and still I had a feeling Max Richter was in it. He has such a unique and original style, it's easily identifiable.

This song really captures the feeling in certain parts of the west maybe better than any song I've heard recently unlike most music that is about denialism of reality. Like we were born in a decaying era with dying empires filled with dying people with squashed spirits. There hasn't been a war here in generations but I still feel like everything is just blown out.

This is far beyond just a music video... it's an art piece... absolutely love it

One of my uncles built a house back in the bayou, nothing there his airboat couldn't carry, no big beams, no big sheets of plywood. Small pieces, jigsawed, to become something more than their individual selves. Had a wife and three kids. Family gathered there sometimes, renting boats, canoes, to go where no car could. Catfish and frogs legs and crawdads and potatoes, all hot and dripping with molten butter. He ended up becoming a fish and game guide, made a good business of it until his arm was shredded by a gator and he had to tourniquet himself and get the boat home because his clients were useless when the chips were down. So much of this video looks like pieces of my childhood. All of it gone, now. You can go there, geographically, but you can't ever really go back, because it's not there, anymore. The place exists, but everything has changed. Like the little beaches that once used to line the coast, hidden pockets of mangrove-wrapped white sand and ghost crabs and the fog rolling in between the waves in the pre-dawn glow. Gone now. Hotel parking lots and fresh beach dredged up from the seabottom, pumped and sprayed sand for foreigners who'd think the natural beaches of the places were 'icky.' Golden ages, they never last. Most people's childhoods are a golden age, but I think about the kids today, growing up in the wake of war, terror, plague, and now war again. Poor things. I can't imagine how this must be for them. But then I look out my window and they're playing just like we played, running through the grass, playing catch, playing at being soldiers, doctors, kings and queens and knights and dragons. Children's imagination. Why do we lose so much of it as we grow?

Love Max Richter and the combination of him and Woodkid is too good.

Woodkid and Lana Del Rey remind me everyday that there is still good music these days jfc
