Lost track of the number of times I've watched this now. Still wonderful!
Wish it was longer.

For those unfamiliar with this band-- this was the way Kent announced their finish-- the last album and tour as one of Sweden's most successful bands. I'm not a "Kent expert" although I did enjoy them so this is my take-- many of the shots are of previous album covers and songs (the plane, the tiger, the running girl, the woman on horseback, woman in the tunnel, the dogs, etc.) It's as if Death is rounding up everything from the past and bringing it back together one last time, for one last march. Då Som Nu För Alltid means Then As Now Forever.

Strange. I keep returning to this. The anthem. The escalation. The way that life's events are just thrown into one big river. The brutal finale with the drummer tapping out the final heartbeats. And so short - the shortness itself is so brutal

[Kuchenblech]

This is one of those songs I come back over and over again. 💔

[taliaperkins]

So how many people first ever heard of this now defunct band because this awesome video turned up in their feed?

00:01 Bron från albumomslaget "Tillbaka Till Samtiden".
00:10 Tunneln från musikvideo "Hjärta".
00:12 Bostadsområdet "Hagnesta Hill" som ger namn både till albumet och omnämns i låten "Ingenting" och i låten "Stoppa mig juni (lilla ego)".
00:14 Textraden i "Sjukhus": "Och de pekar mot en fond, giftgula moln. Orangea lampor, tysta silos, jetplans ångspår, bengrå torn".
00:17 Tunneln från musikvideo "Dom Andra".
00:19 Motorlöst flygplan som för tankarna till albumomslaget "Isola" och låten "747".
00:24 På vänstra portdörren finns en finsk flagga. En möjlig anspelning på att halva bandet har finskt påbrå.
00:35 Skogen från musikvideo "VinterNoll2".
00:43 Döden från albumomslaget "Du & Jag, Döden".
01:02 Tjejen från albumomslaget "Hagnesta Hill".
01:12 5 stycken vitklädda, bandets dåvarande medlemmar som alla spelade på Stockholm stadion 2003 där alla bar vitt.
01:16 Bron, hästen och kvinnan från albumomslaget "Tillbaka Till Samtiden".
01:23 Den finska flaggan anspelar på att hälften av bandets medlemmar har finskt påbrå.
01:24 Den vita tigern från albumomslaget "Vapen & Ammunition".
01:29 Insidan av Ferrarin från musikvideo "Dom Andra". Här finns även den vita tigern som backspegelsdekoration.
01:32 I mitten syns en flagga med symboler från albumomslag "Jag är inte rädd för mörkret".
01:35 Kvinnan som återfinns i musikvideo "Dom Andra".
01:36 Det syns onekligen ett kors som hundarna sliter sig loss ifrån.
01:38 Hundarna från albumomslaget "B-sidor 95-00" och singeln "Chans". (På albumet finns 2 hundar och här är det 4, samma antal som bandmedlemmarna).
01:39 Bengalerna som syns är av färgen Röd - samma som namnet på albumet.
01:40 Barnen från "Dom Som Försvann".
01:43 Längst till vänster syns en heraldisk lilja eller fleur de lis, som länge varit känd bland Kents symboler[1].
01:57 De marscherar genom Stockholm där deras avslut blir.
02:19 Till vänster syns en mask. Referens till musikvideo "En Himmelsk Drog"
Smink och klädsel är slående likt "Black Parade, My Chemical Romance". Kan en sammankoppling finnas?

[1] Kents symboler kan läsas ut som "fleur de lis", "par", "häst" och "skata". Dessa bildar anagrammet: "Kristus, fräls hatade Pale".
Pale är då den bleka häst som pryder omslaget "Tillbaka Till Framtiden" och nämns i låten "Godhet"(2024-rättelse!!! Det är "Din Enda Vän"): "...En vulgär version av Bibelns bleka häst."
Bland apokalypsens 4 ryttare symboliserar den bleka hästen för tidig död genom epidemier och hungersnöd... "och den som satt på den hade namnet Döden".

01:51 Till höger syns en flagga med vad som ser ut som en apa eller dyl. Har du klurat ut vad det kan vara? Är det gorillan från Ingenting?
Har du sett fler detaljer? Kommentera gärna.

I don't know what this group is. But even if they had been silent for 26 years and created only this clip, this time would not have been wasted ... A real masterpiece. Thank you

[kevinomahoney]

I keep coming back to this, like I’m late to a party.

I love how the dogs and horses are so proud to be a part of this. Our best friends make us the best versions of ourselves.

[Gazman]

7 years on and this still brings a massive lump to my throat. Simply sublime.

[stevecoleman]

I'm 78 and I'll play this at least twice a week

[culphome]

I find it fascinating that none of their other music, at least the pieces I have listened to, are anything like this one. This is an amazing piece of music and video. I have listened to it over a hundred times since I found it, by accident.

[kennethalpvik]

I will never, ever, forget their very last concert in Stockholm… 💔🙌🏻❤️. People of all ages crying, singing… very powerful and emotional. A band that sang poetry in Swedish (mostly), sometimes hard to understand (at first), but easy to love. Thank you Kent for all the magic, the great memories and soundtracks of so many peoples lives ❤️

[janfg]

Its impossible to watch this only once.

[mikekantor]

WOW, I'm in America and 63 years old. I recently found this video and can't get enough of it. I have to watch it at least twice a week. So this band is gone?

[glennbrymer]

The video is killer. The opening is sensational. Who would not follow a drummer going into a battle & a fight!?

[TheCreativeMint]

When you stumble upon some unexpected fresh gems. This composition is brilliant and those lovely drums are Hella amazing.

[BluJay_Rx]

Just discovered this band as this video popped onto my recommended. From a composition standpoint this is truly a masterpiece. The way it builds from just a single snare drum into a full on orchestra/choir is amazing. Not only that but the way the snare is constant throughout the song but not annoying. As each new layer is added the snare fades into the background. 10/10

[chaoz]

to be honest, i NEVER ever heard of that band (to sad, shame on me) BUT
some dude, postet a picture out of the vid + link on a imageboard, so i clicked on it, watched it...
30seconds in to it, i'm getting goose bumps a few seconds later, i cried... i cried becaused it touches me in a way that makes me feel good, i startet to smile an an overwhelming feeling overcomes me. i started to feel, luck, power and passion u know. i enjoyed it deeply and repeated it after and after. the last time i had such a feeling was on m83-outro....
this track, the music makes mee fell good in some sort of way, i'm a little bit depressed for some time but as soon as i listen to this, i start to watch forwards. good god i love when music hit the right spot, the right nerve and you can start imagine things!!!
sometimes the ending is just the beginning! thank you so much!!!!
(sorry for my bad english)

[melissastewart]

One of the most beautiful music videos ever filmed. Beyond words.

[etwasmerkwurdig]

This has to be one of the best pieces of music AND video art that have ever been made. absolutely brilliant. gives me chills every time. i am very sad that the band stopped, but this finale was an absolute masterpiece.
