Avey Tare "Oliver Twist"

[@Sensorielle]

I don't know what those black birds are so I'm going to call them Loch Ravens.

[@tofubaba1315]

This has to be one of the best music videos ever made.

[@SemiShweet]

I absolutely LOVE the instrumental music in the background starting at 2:24, it's so ambient and mellow.

[@ChefBYouSee]

Avey my favorite. This is one of the many reasons why.

[@blood_rain]

The cycle of life, this video is incredible. What a vision.

[@headstashmusic3897]

man what a great song!! seriously good work Avey!

[@headstashmusic3897]

and the video is super bizarre and trippy (I forgot to mention that!)

[@ornellabaumeler3474]

+hody macy you could edit your post haha

[@headstashmusic3897]

Ornella Baumeler no idea what your'e haha-ing about but regardless please don't bother me with completely irrelevant details. I don't share you're ability to be entertained by perceived grammar or editing glitches. Im here to listen to cool music.....

[@ornellabaumeler3474]

+hody macy Seems you didn't understand. I'm here not to bother you, I just said that because you said 'and the video is super bizarre and trippy (I forgot to mention that). So I meant you could edit your first post adding that his video is bizzarre and trippy. Sorry about me but my intention wasn't to bother you. I just tried to make it funny but not awkward.

[@headstashmusic3897]

Ornella Baumeler its cool. :)

[@FluxFreeman]

Great tune and I love the vibe of the whole album

[@preyaswolves]

Music this good deserves only the best headphones.

[@user-vm6oz6wt5g]

What. This is good. I was listening to prince rama then this played. Loves.

[@thepurplebottle6]

YES !!!! finally a video for this work of art

[@LionsMemorialPool]

Such a eerie art style that fits the song perfectly. Bravo avey

[@IcYsTaR8]

A fave

[@teixen1]

can't stop listening to this song, makes me feel so good and relaxed! it's brilliant!

[@Lundstorm22]

i just danced to this song while in my computer chair...and i feel awesome

[@user-vm6oz6wt5g]

This is my favorite song for two days now

[@TicklingNoise]

Very great marriage of music and visuals here.

[@jakeflinn2480]

the animation always reminds me of Ralph Bakshi. This music video/song is such a trip.

[@annehalpennyart]

Bloody brilliant, the little Ollie in me wakes up to this song, and it soothes him to sleep as well 😏

[@MilesArdMB]

Finally a music video for this!!! God i love this song

[@Isinforever]

("...he saw what, he would look in the rock and see what was in there and I guess that day he saw a skull. One of his dark days.") Pockets... Oh when I look through the door of my lean-to I don't know another lean room from my room Should I pull up the floor of my kitchen So I can feel the dirt while I'm doing all my dishes To live in a house that is breathing Is a luxury when you understand its meaning But even in a box am I dreaming Of a galaxy of stars above our ceiling And my eye isn't understanding of what I see It's hard to think about the time it takes To get from one space to me (and it may take a while) It may take a while 'cause I never know where I should be And then I start thinkin', and I'm thinkin' Of the many dirty pennies and Different motions Mine'll be kind of sticky lately stuck inside the ocean Oh, city grind It's hard to sit myself down And just think about the ocean Oh, am I crying? Shouldn't I be content with what I've got And not seek dimes? Or am I denying myself it's Something that I'd enjoy if I acquire And I wonder if it's me who's just a thief Taking the stash and blazin' the grass Diggin' a hole and diggin' it deep (and I dig for a while) Yeah, I dig for a while cause I never know When to plant the seed And then I start thinkin', and I'm thinking Of the many dirty pennies (it's going to be a fine night tonight, it's going to be a fine day tomorrow) And if I have some kind of need Maybe the thing I need is the thing I've got And if I look inside of me I find the thing that can't be took or bought And I know that there are needy Some are good, yeah, but some are rotten Why should I motivate my needs When I know my greed should be forgotten Is it alright if we feel good?

[@ZaptorTheShredder]

The visuals are so good in this

[@mikedenby6771]

Plot Summary: Slightly creepy looking guy on a raft punts his way towards an eerie island, presumably attracted by the lights. A tribe of souls are alerted to his presence by some ravens and fly out to investigate. After a disturbing experience with the ravens, the creep is drained of all energy and his raft sinks. Meanwhile, the souls appear to have manifested into alligators, who extract the creep's soul before devouring his body. The alligators and crocodiles then convene before metamorphosing and releasing the souls into some sort of photon-based circus. All the green souls evaporate and rain onto the earth to keep the cycle going, whilst the blue master-soul retires into the photon circus for a quick boogie.

[@S3n0rCardgage]

great animation. it matches the song well.

[@gregorygumpas]

finally the first good AC music video since who could win a rabbit

[@charliez077]

from the very first listen of this song I thought this is a (perfect) swampy-dance song - apparently wasn't alone!

[@chehackett1471]

this song answered my questions. Every single one

[@HalfFullYeah]

Great to «see» this amazing song through someone else eyes. IMO, Avey's Down There «beats» Noah's Tomboy, which is good since you want both of them to feel «equal», especially after the perfection of Person Pitch! Can't wait for the new AC album!!!

[@akalyx]

ten. years. ago.

[@chehackett1471]

i played oliver twist and laughing hieroglyphic at the same time and got the ultimate song!

[@Ford8844]

This is incredible

[@MagicTurtle643]

He saw what-- he would look in the rock and see what was in there and... I guess that day he saw a skull. One of his dark days-- pockets... *CREEPY NOTE*

[@rfixed]

thanks for the trip!

[@malibumotions]

he should release a instrumental version of this track

[@launderground]

great video.

[@alexbakale2553]

I used to be able to listen to this whole album without ads interjected every five minutes.

[@APPLIEDARTSFLA]

THANKS!!!

[@VirtualWaffle]

@familyguy1491 The song talks a lot about needs and wants, which was a major element of oliver twist.

[@breakfasttomorrow]

YES

[@letztesbiest6606]

love the vid

[@omichron420]

if you took enough (which should always be the case) it shouldn't really matter what you watch.

[@user-ib6tr7mf9w]

oceannnNNNN

[@gustavohernandez5610]

Fuck yeah

[@moenicah]

lol the rowing dood reminds me of deakin on a boat in oddsac

[@Keepmovingson]

RIP PawTracksRecords

[@soulbend]

If I went to trippy alligator heaven after my mortal coil shuffled off, I'd be perfectly fine with that.

[@gregorygumpas]

@Anders898Avey cool, i thought they were horrible and cheesy. oddsac on the other hand is amazing. and this hopefully brings a new era to AC vids.

[@baabykayy]

Gonna go smoke another bowl and then watch this again.

[@mikedenby6771]

1:29 - shouldn't that scene be shown after 1:51 when you see his raft sinking?! Nitpicking I know, but...

[@Corkoth55]

2:16 its gonna be a fine day

[@draxwolfgang1988]

Is this the guy that made Little Fang?

[@noahharriman730]

yeah, he made this album way before that song

[@draxwolfgang1988]

Noah Harriman Thanks.

[@CarlosGLeonIb]

Ohh, i'm so dope

[@reubenbf]

[@NoJoshinJoshy]

Oh man.. that was pretty

[@jennifercatano9935]

[@darkgear6]

I'd take some acid. In no way is Avey's album unchill

[@Kweddo9]

[@zedascouves78]

[@jesseruiz3279]

[@owlandpenny]

@rockhsalt Warning: Do watch on LSD.

[@euclideanplane]

well i just looked up the lyrics but. i'm gonna stick with "Feeling good and it's in my right, feeling good and it's in my right, feeling good and it's in my right, feeling good and it's in my right, feeling good and it's in my right, feeling good and it's in my right" And "And if I have some kind of need Maybe the thing I need is the thing I've got And if I look inside of me I find the thing to get me through the .... *insert imaginary thing I relate to here*"

[@euclideanplane]

Oh and: "And I know that there are needy Some are good GIVE IT TO MY RIGHT THEN! Why should I .....*insert more imaginary words here lol* When I know the thing should be forgotten"

[@vulnikkura]

I think he says "if i look inside of me i can find the thing that can't be took or bought"

[@vulnikkura]

@@euclideanplane "why should I motivate my needs...."

[@cl3mfandang0]

[@eddieg.forgoodnight8907]

You look a bit like St. Vincent, cuteness... Finally - proof that pretty girls can have good taste!

[@Alumirust]

Eddie G. for Goodnight that's not a compliment buddy, that's just you being sexist.

[@Julsies7]

Eddie G. for Goodnight what the hell haha. How did it even cross your mind to think the opposite , that pretty girls (subjective in itself ) can't have good taste ?

[@ManuelJVillalobos]

Shit...I watched on LSD.

[@xredhenx]

I hear hints of Micheal Jackson in this song

[@mikedenby6771]

I remember Avey mentioned listening to MJ in his youth

[@moxyangel]

This is like what current shitty top 40 pop wants to sound like. Except Avey made this in 2010
