I can't wait to show you the world I've built around Goliath ! Stay tuned and bring all your friends for the chat with me at 5.30 PM Paris time !

They need to give the actor in this video more credit. He perfectly captured the gaze of someone who is completely burnt out and grasps the hopelessness of working these types of jobs. As someone who has been there and seen the same look on the face of coworkers and even my bathroom mirror, he captures it perfectly.

2012: Run boy run
2020: Where are you going boy?

[whoisdamaris]

I have a very strong feeling that Woodkid could be the perfect composer for Denis Villeneuve's films. The music is very bold, dark-ish and lyrical at the same time. That's exactly what Villeneuve is into.

[renatorazielov]

Lyrics/Paroles:

The chest and the head divided by a white laser.
The pattern of mad strobes, you’re going haywire,
In your eyes night cold I see the end of us.
You're playing your best role, but the mask shatters.

Where are you going boy?
When did you get so lost?
How could you be so blind?
How could you be so blind?

A sustained heart pain and a dark fever,
How did I get fooled by such a savage curse?
The more I forgive you, the more it backfires.
Now you’re dancing through the smoke like nothing else matters.

Where are you going boy?
When did you get so lost?
How could you be so blind?
How could you be so blind?

Traduction:

La poitrine et la tête divisées par un laser blanc.
Le dessin de stroboscope foux, tu te détraques,
Dans tes yeux nuit froide je vois la fin de nous.
Tu joues ton meilleur rôle, mais le masque tombe.

Où vas tu garçon?
Depuis quand es tu si perdu?
Comment peux tu être aussi aveugle?
Comment peux tu être aussi aveugle?

Une peine de cœur soutenue et une fièvre noire,
Comment ai je pu être trompé par une si sauvage malédiction?
Plus je t'oublie, plus ça se retourne contre moi.
Maintenant, tu danses à travers la fumée comme si rien d'autre n'avait d'importance.

Où vas tu garçon?
Depuis quand es tu si perdu?
Comment peux tu être aussi aveugle?
Comment peux tu être aussi aveugle?

BEST MUSIC VIDEO SINCE 7 yrs. THIS IS SOMETHING WE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

[carolynzhang]

I love how the music and the environment move together. The way the workers shift in their seats with the growl of the music, the coal trembling to the beat of the percussion, the giant smoke monster at the end awakening and morphing as the music announces its terrifying arrival. The music and video accompany each other really well, it really brings the weight of the music to life. It's so subtle, but beautifully executed.

The scale of the digger is chilling. The amount of energy and resources our civilization utilizes every second is scary.

[kektor]

Let`s be honest, EVERYONE was waiting for this.

[rares]

Fellow humans,
we survived long enough to listen to this angelic sounds.
Pray for the ones who did not.

[AdamJovic]

Woodkid consistently got the best cinematography and visuals, incredible

[msician]

Really gives me death stranding vibes. Amazing!

Edit: KOJIMA ACTUALLY DID IT

[greyfells]

I think lots of guys who work in shitty industries out of necessity can relate to this song. We hate our bosses, the monster we're helping build to pay the bills. I'm trying to break out of this madness myself. Stay strong brothers.

[evilbisexual]

this is just a PSA on workplace safety: man forgets his mask at an active dig site, inhales chemicals, and trips balls

[nikhilsoerdjoesing]

Woodkid: Makes Song
Ubisoft: It’s free real estate

[karenina.l]

This deserves five Grammys, not one nomination.

[mikuslefttwintail]

us: 2020 is ruined
woodkid: hold my crown

[terences]

We're not in the Golden Age anymore

[ZeroReaper]

Headcanon:

The miner in the video is the same kid we've seen in "Run Boy Run, " all grown up. He feels lost without a purpose, and he's throwing all this energy into something he thinks is unfulfilling. He still has an overactive imagination, but now it's used to conjure up dark and disturbing thoughts, and he feels trapped in them, in both the real world and the world shaped by the reality he's in now.

[warrenchrismas]

The Grammy-nominated Goliath! Congrats Yoann! Now let's see this epic reach TENS of millions...
