Wow, for such a simple idea for a video it was a fucking AWESOME video, i loved the different camera angles, the slowing down/speeding up of certain members, how they slowed raine's movement when he was singing the crowd, the darkness...you could tell that OLP is certainly alot more confident in this video than alot of their previous videos, in the video for Innocent he looked very awkard for example

Now that I think about it, the video doesnt make any sense to me. Its like theres no point to it. The shots of the band were cool though.

i think that might be the worst video ever.....i thought it was way too choppy and hard to keep track of with all the quick scene changes, and the slowing down of the video at times is awkward cause its a fast paced song....also, it didnt really have a point, and those freaky mascot like creatures in the video were...well....just freaky

I thought the video was decent. Thank you for whoever shared it (for the people who don't have hub). It made me kind of feel like I was in a dream. It could made me feel like I was in a dream, because all of my lights were off, or maybe it was just me. I was kind of thinking they made this video like that, like were dreaming of our best days of our lives, but who knows. It's not their best video but, I think its a deent one. Also, I think the more I watch the video, the more I will like it.

I really liked the video, The choppiness I think made the album, if it progressed smoothly it would just look cliched and unoriginal. I really loved the chaos, and the way Steeve would jump lie 4 feet in the air, lol.

I'm downloading the video right now but being the OLP defender that I am.. :lol:

Since "Where Are You" is supposed to be about trying to find spirituality outside of organized religion..maybe the point of the video was to be completely chaotic and nonsensical. If you think about it...organized religion is just that..organized. It has a well-defined point and well-defined rules. Now think about spirituality..what is the point of looking for it or trying to achieve it when we're not trying to achieve the "heaven" or avoid the "damnation" that most religions offer?

The message that I get from the song sounds like it's trying so hard to look for that spirituality or missing object so it would make sense that the video doesn't.
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

whatever became of concept videos
this maybe the most abstract video
i never understood abstract painting
and i certainly don't understand this video

its like they took 50 people
and threw them all in the same room
and told them do something different
than anyone else in the room

i like the quick cut scenes
the shots of the band are well done
steve is starting to look like jeremy with the hair
at one point i thought jer was playing guitar
which would be a cool video

anyways must watch the video again

I'm downloading it now. I don't ever watch tv anymore, so I depend on the hub for all my video needs. *muwah* Thanks Nam.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

The video, like the song, really doesn't evoke any emotions in me.

I neither hate the song, nor do I love it, and same thing with the video. It's just... there.

Like the song being listenable, the video is watchable.
