I like how Caroline freely shares the meaning and the ideas behind her music and videos rather than being cryptic or coy. She has said that reading the lyrics while listening to an album was always a major part of the experience for her, and she doesn't deny that to us. You didn't even have to buy 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘨 to get the official lyrics-she released a lyric video for every song on the album (and she included the lyrics to "Bunny Is a Rider" in the video description, too). On top of that, she wrote an Instagram post for each song from 𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘨 when its lyric video was released to give us even more.

[@gsiya4023]

but i feel like sometimes things go wayy personal and you don't wanna tell everyone everthing. As a songwriter whose love is also lyrics i appreciate her for doing it and its even ok if someone doesnt want to share a very personal experience

[@oBringMeTheDiscoCake]

thats always what bugs me! is when true lyrics aren't released cause I can't hear the same always lol

[@AisuruMirai]

By the way, if you like this video, you should watch "Chairlift - Making 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩," which is a beautifully directed short about the making of Chairlift's final album. It's amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipmbkomKdryGndE

[@cl8804]

pity her lyrics mostly shit

[@jakobwhaleart]

I find these behind the scenes videos so comforting. People in their 20s often feel pressured to release the most high quality incredible products into the world on their own. But with anything high quality you see there is a whole team of people that put it together. Best to focus on your own creativity first, share them to make connections. Through that we will get there in time. Your worth does not depend on your work!

[@marcs7427]

really needed to see this rn

[@butterymales]

I discovered Caroline's music only a year ago, and yet its become such an integral part of life I teared up seeing the box labelled Chairlift! Barely saved myself from.. Crying in Public.

[@NotJakeSmith]

😭 damn I hadn’t noticed that box and the explanation about the boxes 📦 wow

[@atyem9995]

omg i didnt even notice the chairlift box ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@podestaaa]

telling everyone i know that bunny is, in fact, a rider

[@naheen4628]

satellite, in fact, can't find her

[@oscarpeag2466]

🤣

[@Kyoukichi]

No sympathy? Ungh. Ain't nothing for free, you know?

[@BillieEatsFun]

same

[@servvo]

bunny ain't no kind of rider

[@alexandergalvan7673]

OMG the Chairlift box

[@plsarguewithme2665]

the PANG that seeing the Chairlift box gave me is immeasurable

[@majordelilah]

and the ramona lisa one😭

[@alyce8539]

Yes 💜

[@daimy8504]

Damn im excited to see what was written on all of these boxes lmao

[@Stevetusch21]

ok why did the chairlift box make me wanna cry

[@tidalboxer]

I absolutely love how you use such minimal things to make fantasy worlds in your videos. The behind the scenes are very cool to watch.

[@ClarkyWarky]

I love how mysterious she is! Can't wait to see what she starts putting out.

[@tubegirl1013]

suspected that this might be the first single from a new album but this pretty much confirms it. I am effervescent I cannot wait

[@hamilcross]

one of my favorite releases this year. and i’m obsessed with this look… may have to do it for halloween. 🐇🏎🐇🏎🐇🏎

[@evascojb]

Isn't it illegal to be this beautiful?!!

[@TheNikolaBoy]

The power that that has, the intelligence that that has, the clearance that that has, the access that that has, the influence that that has, the profile that that has, the international implications that that has, the rider that that bunny truly is

[@xcxthias]

THE CHAIRLIFT SHADE- ICON!

[@nooby6598]

I AM SO OBSESSED WITH HER CRAFT !!

[@thegrimyeaper]

Best thing to come out of 2021.

[@xlovur]

everything caroline does is just **impeccable**

[@paadoxal]

hell yeah to liberated by dissapearence omg!!

[@alanguillen9817]

Omg the rumors are true...Bunny is indeed a rider

[@majordelilah]

I fucking love boxes now like I'm obsessed with them. and mazes. like she put me on to boxes

[@tyreeserobinson8766]

boxes have such immense fuck power to me now, Caroline out here giving us box realness

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

I actually liked boxes before it was cool so

[@nathanjamesbaker]

@@MarinaAndTheDevil I never liked boxes before, but because of Caroline, they are growing on me.

[@walterallen9188]

I know not all boxes are the same but a box killed my uncle's mistress, idk if i can ever learn to love a box

[@majordelilah]

@@MarinaAndTheDevil ANDREJ MY BELOVED

[@notsocesar]

not her teasing the instrumental in the last 5 seconds😩😩

[@VickyDPi]

How can C and M be so cool and chill working around each other when they are actually high-key hot and hyper artistes? Incredible self-control on display.

[@sadmermaid]

Who's the guy?

[@VickyDPi]

@@sadmermaid Matt Copson, the co-director and Caroline's current partner. I work with my partner and it takes a lot of self-discipline to be civil and professional together. I'm sure this "Behind the Scenes" glosses over some of the uglier stuff that inevitably goes on between teammates, but the vibe radiating off them is so pure and full of mutual respect, I stan.

[@eL_K_Dee]

lollll I've had my stuff in storage for 5 years now and keep making 'pilgrimages' too hahahaha

[@1qazwas21]

that was so interesting to hear and understand her mv based on how she intended for it to be understood, that's so cool

[@misterscruffle]

I’m obsessed with her music!

[@allyson--]

I'm so glad to get clarification on whether the bunny represented something more or not

[@desiluus]

did they just announce some _future things_ at the end there?

[@thejimwellsv]

1:28 chairlift

[@victorcraraujo]

This video is amazing, super iconic. It totally sales this track, which I'm very addicted to at the moment

[@Glistery]

This looks so fun!

[@AnimosityKate]

Obsessed with this song and music video! Love getting some insight to how it was created.

[@hongj1n]

she's so right... bunny IS a rider

[@aimee-hyj]

absolutely love this mv!!

[@christianhilario8735]

1:28 the chairlift box 🥺

[@moosesnWoop]

Love the video, it's so well done

[@athenavevo8489]

Loving this era. Can’t wait to see what comes next

[@Erik-sg2wi]

Una artista en muchos aspectos, por cierto muy hermosa, tuve la suerte de conocerla un día en Colombia

[@SPECIALPERSON11]

Podrías decirme que dijo caroline ?? Xddd entendí a medias.....

[@oscarpeag2466]

wow que envidia

[@wormsea63]

CAROLINE plz do an unboxing video

[@invernessfan3017]

I like this song by Caroline Polachek. Polachek is a genius of music, with her singing and artistic creativity. I think that Juliana Chahayed and Caroline Polachek should do a song together. They are two of my fave singers in American music.

[@FeelKarmatic]

This set is incredible !

[@jojogape]

2:15 I'd actually love to hear this early version, it seems to have stronger percussion, unless I'm hearing things...

[@zoofway]

i cannot for the life of me explain why but for some reason her videos give me the dark crystal, jim henson vibes and i love it.

[@AisuruMirai]

One of the boxes _does_ say "DARK CRYSTALS," so...

[@turpac1]

I'm buying my sisters your album for xmas🎄😄

[@moosesnWoop]

3:08 the way she looks here. OMG kill me now

[@freddiemoller3692]

This is so fascinating to me; I love when the artist shows their process ❤️ also, caroline polachek appears to have a pretty active role in the direction, which I would assume most musicians don't

[@underworld8805]

amazing concept

[@NickDelDuca]

This is really interesting. I watched the music video first and was convinced the boxes were CGI

[@charleneae]

nawww not the cameraman tired of caroline lmaooo

[@Monxtv]

Lol I think he was just super hot with the whole equipment

[@AisuruMirai]

@@Monxtv So hot you're hurting my feelings because you seem exasperated with Caroline

[@KrisTheNinth]

Man, this video really did have such a fun concept. Awesome and engaging on both a philosophical and aesthetic level

[@reekhavoc2932]

I do i do 🎶

[@Ryansehouane]

Love you so much😭🧡

[@clintrichardsonclintfromny203]

She's so talented. I really like the uproduced sound as its not overproduced.

[@blameitonfrank]

the reaction of the camera op at 2:27 killed me :)))))

This song has such depth. Not to mention, it's catchy.

[@liveinyouralterlife7708]

Ep? I thought she's releasing a second album

[@original_lifeline]

@@liveinyouralterlife7708 apparently it's an ep

Thank you Caroline!

Speaking of PISTACHIO ICE CREAM (1:47), you should try Ben & Jerry's Pistachio Pistachio with salt sprinkled on it. I wonder what a Caroline Polachek flavor would be called....... So Cold You're Hurting My Fillings? Show Me the Banana?

[@closuitm]

This was very cool to see!!

[@oscarpeag2466]

i feel blessed today 😍

[@turpac1]

yes yes yes! I love the concept and dream like idea for this video and the song is just an work of art, Caroline and the team, your geniuses! I'm hooked! and I'm now going to have to listen to all your songs, any recommendations anyone?

[@CoriSparx]

This woman is literally a genius I mean... Seriously, do I even need to say more here?

[@paadoxal]

hell yeah dude i wanna see this so bad

[@torley]

I enjoyed the explanation of the maze, but what's the story behind the personal teleportation device? Also, wondering if the team was inspired by Dave Made a Maze (2017)? :D
