Able - Jack Stauber

[@Batzajla_99]

The most “horifying” part was the last few seconds of video. The dark snyth, the bolt gun and after all that we can imagine what happened. Beside that catchy song!

[@notdoneyet1361]

The most horrifying part is definitely the farmer's face.

[@camin7307]

I can’t help crying because the cow sees that the farmer gives him everything to live thanks to his hands but she only has hooves, and when he sees the slaughterhouse doors to reassure himself of inpending death he imagines having hands and managing to free himself from the slaughterhouse although we already knows what happens to him

I don’t think Jack could make a extended version. No words in this song has more than 4 letters, and I think that’s intentional. If Jack were to extend it, than it wouldn’t be able (hehe) to have that factor, making the song lose itself.

[@academicfailure8182]

As my English teacher would say, It’s a monosyllabic song which “would show that the cow is panicked as people tend to use short words when scared and in difficult situations”

@@-hello6177 I see your point, and that could be one way to approach it, but to do one song with a clear lyrics and themes and then the "extended" is just music and some gibberish with words mixed in feels like a cop out and not what the fans expect from Jack.

@girl what damn that sucks. While I mostly eat vegetation I do partake of the flesh, you know when I can catch or shoot it. Mostly catch, I prefer fish.

[@littleblueclovers]

The cow sees the farmer milk, build, and feed. She comes to the realization that it's all thanks to hands (when it opens the door). She knows that her hooves can't do these things and that she's stuck. She imagines herself magically growing hands and she does everything the farmer did. She can milk, build, feed, and even open the door to the exit. However, she opens her eyes and accepts that there's nothing she can do about that and accepts her fate.

[@IMadeOneForfunWvW]

Sad :(

[@noonesaroundtohelp.]

Something tells me the cow doesn't actually accept her fate though, more like she imagines being capable to do the same things as the farmer, in an attempt to avoid reality. That reality, being turned into meat, probably. We can see the cow is being moved through a tunnel. She's probably about to die and it's trying to distract herself from the dread. "God, no, no, god! Take my mind, I can take my mind and I'm fine." kind of speaks for itself. Anyway, that's my point of view.

[@severalsmallfrogsandtheyre9475]

Ok I’m gonna gush about this: I’m mentally disabled and i keep coming back to this video ever since it came out. The heifer thinking about how she can, in fact, take care of herself, and doesnt actually need the farmer. Her confidence that she can be independent, and her resolution to take her life into her own hands. Only for her to be struck down in a cold, systematic way and probably cut up for meat. I get into a cycle of feeling like I’m able to do things, and that I can live a perfect, average, neurotypical life if i just make another list, see another councilor, keep denying the problem. The heifer thinks she can act exactly like the farmer, and even grow her own hands in a way. Sometimes I feel the same, like the underdeveloped or dopamine-deprived parts of my brain will just fix themselves and the problem will be solved. Even the title “able” really speaks to me. Its just a beautiful way of framing a feeling and an idea that I’m so familiar with. It doesnt offer a solution, it just communicates. I find that very nice, and somewhat refreshing. Idk if jack knows how much his art actually helps people, but i hope he does.

The video as I interpreted it, shows a cow with the naive notion that it is "unable" to do all the things that the man is "able" to do (milk the cow, build a shelter and prepare meals) because it doesn't possess the man's tool (his hands). While she's standing on the belt about to be shot by the bolt gun, she comes to the conclusion that if she were "able" as the man is, she wouldn't be killed, and so at the last second she closes her eyes and dreams a desperate dream of her growing human hands out of her useless hooves and is finally able to milk herself, use hammers, and literally save herself. Cows are unintelligent animals, but they are very aware of the human's hands and recognize them as of great importance, as humans use them for everything they do. The fact that the song comes from the cows perspective (which is more believable thanks to how simple and short the words in the lyrics are) makes it all the more strong as a song. Everything else is perfect, the song is catchy and poppy and escalates with tension as we near the end and then it vanishes with relief, and the video has very impactful and cold images (especially here 0:20)

I feel like this song wouldn't be as impactful if it were extended, since it's supposed to be the last few seconds of the cows' life, and having it last 3 minutes would take away from the sense of panic or incoming threat. On the other hand, a longer song could make an atmosphere of incoming dread, like the fear one feels a few hours before something bad will happen.

Maybe it shows how the cow knew it had the ability to do certain things like make milk (i can, i can,) but never was sure of itself and didnt do all that it could (do i, do i?) when it is being led to get killed for its meat, the last usefull thing it will give, it thinks about all the good it could have done if it really tried and regrets not taking action, only asking “do i?”. Idk why it then says im fine tho, i wouldnt think it would be fine. Maybe it accepts tjese mistakes and thinks its fine to be killed since ultimately, that is what it chose?

[@noamtzvirun4965]

Like maybe but it's hard to believe cause first all the cows eventually goes to slaughter no Matter what and getting milk out of them is extremely hurtful so I can't even think how a cow think it's a good thing to do...we all know this song (at least the visual video) is a criticism in some way about the meat industry i hope some people will choose to get the idea portrayed here

This song and baby hotline honestly hit home so hard for how I think with my anxious brain. They feel cathartic to listen to and I often go back to them now when I’m feeling stuck in this volatile thought cycle of mine. So thank you, jack. For making music that really speaks to the soul

[@sputnikdx]

The song and video is about how raising someone to be dependent on you is the same as killing them. The farmer gave the cow a purpose, gave her shelter, gave her food, then let her out to be on her own. As she tried to do everything herself, you see that she's unable to do anything right. The farmer killed her. Most importantly though, this is just one interpretation. It's not the right one. None of these are the right one. Abstract art like this is meant to be personal, and we're all going to project our own personal meaning onto it.

[@abject_sky1915]

Isn't it a bull? They grow horns? (As bulls for "US taste" have their testes removed because of an off taste) so their horns never develop fully. Which is why males are used for slaughter and females are used for milk production

Jack Stauber is absolutely unbelievable. I don't know of anyone else who could make a music video under 30 seconds that's equivalent to a beautifully written short story. With so few shots, and no words over four letters no less. This is just as meaningful and memorable as the two headed calf poem. If you don't know it, I recommend it.

[@KorianBossMonster]

Oh I get it, its basically the cow doing everything that is expected of it, being milked, being sheltered, eating hay, with it questioning if or why it should, even though its truly not up to it to decide, but up to the farmer. Near the end, the cow questions and debates with itself if it should escape the farm to be free or stay due to his duties as a cow, it ultimately decides to leave, but even that was decided for it in the end. This feels like a take on the illusion of choice.

[@pringle-man]

Then he gets killed. As the gun thingy at the end when he’s going through the chute is what kills the cow when being processed

[@sugarcrystals5649]

It reminds me of when people do more work than they should. Kind of like if you do more work than you need to for a project or assignment. Working way too hard and stressing yourself out, instead of taking care of yourself. It shows that just because you can overachieve, doesn't mean you always should. That's just my theory, thanks for reading.

[@BopLouie]

It reminds me of Stampylonghead's role in Minecraft : Story Mode, when he steals the Enchanted Flint and Steel although it was a prank so he ment well. Stampy gets established in the same episode when Captain Sparklez takes you to the main hall, where Stampy, StacyPlays, and DanTDM all enter with him. You see him utter his most important line, "I hope there's cake." Which is like his character in his KZbin videos, where in every video he would walk outside, greet everyone, and then enjoy a lovely cake, in his lovely world. Stampy and the others are in the same room, all invited to a mysterious person's house, presumably you, the player (Jesse) thinks is a person wearing a white pumpkin via a dialogue option. Needlesly complicated things set off due to DanTDM making a mistake and pressing a button, killing Captain Sparklez, and so you interrogate, and question everyone. Though you don't know who it is, a few details emerge. Whoever it is is good with potions, redstone, and knows about Tinted arrows. In the case of Redstone, Details are given by DanTDM, and LaurenZSide, (Two other people you interrogate), that Stampy is a Redstone Expert, having been the certified, "Tri-Block Champion", Three times, after denying this he eventually gives in. But still says he's not the murderer. Such a perilous situation, but it is true he has details stacked against him. But he is later revealed to not be the killer. When you and Petra (your soulless partner) find a cave, Stampy inadvertently finds, and scares you. You find evidence to prove that he is not the killer but it was Cassie Rose. She fakes her death and you fall for it, and leave the mansion, Stampy, Stacy, and Dan are the only KZbin survivors, and they leave. Stampy leaves with a clear, " Goodbyeeeeee! ", Just like in his KZbin videos, and with this (until later on) , Stampy leaves you, Petra, and Ivor. Although your character wants a sexual relationship with Stampy, killings and adventures in Sue and you must wait until season two. Where in episode 6 he gets turned into a cute anime girl and joins your team. You and Stampy become close partners and then you and her fall in love at the end of season 2 with a kiss. Then Stampy's character arc is complete, and you and her become a great adventuring duo for years to come. Honestly, I can't wait til' the next season of Minecraft : Story Mode.
