I feel the music video shines light on the song being about a chaste priest's conflicting desire for intimacy, the "sweet candy," and his position as a church leader. The priest feels trapped in celibacy, only marrying others and not being married himself, remembering his promise to not indulge in intimate desires but hunting for "candy" nonetheless. The old lady with the cocktail is a strange temptation but the angels on his shoulder only sing to his desires as well. His hands become bloody after indulging and his innocence/identity is lost as his pure white teeth now run tar black. We finally witness the former priest wildly driving away from the imprisoned web the church was.

[@defrostus]

This song and video lured me into a white van

[@BearConditioned]

This is the music style the world needs right now.

[@Xapiro]

Hahaha...

[@danielc3844]

Te creo compadre

[@vincentchristmusic]

Amazing song and video. I love Choir Boy so much, you are always giving so much feeling.

[@CrownedTerror]

Some mushrooms and Choir Boy along with Drab Majesty and chill.

[@grungepants]

Very refreshing. it's super 80's, done in a really artful way.

[@firstboyonthemoon8876]

80s retro, it's about time. Great song too.

[@jasonhmetal1]

Lyrics: Have you ever noticed Andy can’t have candy can he? He likes films with morbid endings Though the sandwich quotas serve the many men he fancies One whose teeth need drastic mending Sweet Candy All the women in their sunset years He holds with envy Their sons he’s still defending Sweet Candy Have you ever noticed Andy can’t have candy can he? His appetite left pending And temptation haunts the chronic masturbator Has he lost his taste for happy endings? Sweet Candy Sweet Candy Like you’ve never had Makes you happy to be bad Sweet Candy Like you’ve never had Makes you wish you never held them in your hands

[@ericpeterson6766]

you got the lyrics wrong a little ....she likes films with morbid endings. it's a referene to Andy Warhol and his protege Candy Darling, a film star who died in the transition to transgender female, from too much estrogen, famously died in the hospital dressed to the hilt and very glamourous, even in death poses.....

[@eduardoribeiro2659]

Que maravilha é essa?? É como se o The Smiths e o Depeche Mode se juntassem em uma jam pra tocar raridades e singles. Esse som é uma prova de que os anos 80 jamais irão morrer.

[@jake_villanueva]

Love this band. Driving to see them in salt lake this weekend.

[@tracychumbley4786]

As a fan of The Cure, The Smiths , etc. It’s good to see this music isn’t dying.

[@vytalman]

Indeed. It also gives me a Bryan Ferry / Roxy Music vibe too.

[@scottreateguirichards1842]

Tears for Fears meets Bryan Ferry on steroids. In the best artistic approach possible. ⚡️🖤⚡️

[@kindkidbk]

speakinf of bryan ferry…. pls tell me you’ve heard private world??? 🖤

[@Sunny-mp1wk]

@@kindkidbk I LOVE Private World! Transports me to the same place as these guys 🤩

[@innercityprepper]

@@kindkidbk Private World is possibly the best band in existence.

[@GossamerFilms]

Sounds more like the Cure to me

[@rodolfodelgado5080]

This band has managed to capture the feeling of the 80s at the best levels, pure new wave, a perfect harmony that easily mixes with the best representatives of the new wave of the 80s, and that fingering on the keyboard is a gem.

[@juliand839]

I gotta give these dudes props, usually when people try to do a take on 80’s it sounds retro and not authentic. Not a big fan of retro. This on the other hand can legitimately pass as an unheard 80’s song. This is how 80’s imitated music should sound. If you’re going out of your way to sound of the era do it properly.

[@GenX4ever]

So damn creative both musically and aesthetically. Well done sirs.

[@trilobiter_2002]

Hide this from tik tok kids quickly!!! Normalize gatekeeping, it’s ok 🙂

[@GothMusicLatinAmerica]

Love how consistently weird these dudes are

[@spookrockcity]

Some of these guys wantin candy a little too much

[@shelxp]

this song saved me

[@am_i_still_ill]

This has been my top song for the last 2 years

[@claytoncampos6967]

Top demais, gostaria que viessem cantar no Brazil . Congratulações!

[@НастяПолянская-ф9щ]

Why only 100 thousand views?? This song is the best I've heard.

[@Spacemamnate3]

Dig this a lot, very heavy psychic tv gods star feel. I love it

[@DJTasawennatekensMusicWorld]

Dude it's pretty hard to believe that this came out in 2020 this literally looks like an '80s to maybe early '90s style music video I love this this is awesome this is literally the type of music I like and we need more of it again.

[@diegotrujillo7508]

Plot twist, Andy has diabetes

[@jdmcnugent6808]

Andy Warhol and Candy Darling

[@JiříVoborský-i7x]

Well now I just feel bad for Andy. He can't catch any break, can he?

[@ericpeterson6766]

Best video of the year and I guess previous few,,,,,by far...

[@viol8r]

How does one make a video like this? Like how do you overlay effects and add stuff? It’s so cool

[@lansdragon2542]

Дядь на дворе уже 2022й а ты еще из 92го не вышел. Куку очнись! ты проспал все время))

[@waynejkl4035]

I'd say this is borderline Fleetwood Mac IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! 🖤

[@postmodernrecycler]

Totally. Everybody is comparing them to New Wave dark synth bands from then, but Fleetwood Mac really comes to mind. Lindsey Buckingham's "Trouble" is the spiritual predecessor to "Sweet Candy".

[@MrNargleflex]

Wow the costumes and makeup are incredible in this! Massive props to those that worked on the video

[@josefabiopereira9033]

The smiths 2023

[@josefabiopereira9033]

[@josefabiopereira9033]

Muito boa !!!!!

[@GothPrincessMarina]

My wife introduced me to this song!!! :)

[@spoons2020]

This song and video scratch an itch that I have had for 33 years.

[@achtungzine]

This is the best video I’ve ever seen in my entire life

[@havefundying]

It’s like something Tom rubnitz would make

[@jetjaguar5045]

This was my most played song of 2022 NICE

[@brettinoloverromantico4095]

You should get Benny Hinn & Tom Vu for the next video...

[@leoncurtis5762]

I am a bisexual young guy who grew up in a homophobic famiy, so the lyrics really speak to me. I love your albums and hope you guys keep making great music. ❤

[@nicholasromig5506]

glad you made it out.

[@jupiterrising887]

Thanks for ruining this song for me.

[@Luke_Rowlands]

I’m a straight male born into a woke family who has persecuted me for being into women, this album has liberated me

[@mandu6665]

​@@Luke_RowlandsShut up, nerd.

[@agorachills]

@@Luke_Rowlandsoh please 🙄

[@TheForlornEidolon777]

2:51, Why does he remind me of AVGN haha. I'm hoping to see them in San Antonio this summer!

[@tripzville7569]

bEAUTIFUL MELANCHOLIC melodic MADNESS as always, from the boys . Perfect tune to listen to as the world we knew comes to a crashing halt.

[@demonicsweaters]

They just keep getting better at doing their thing. Great song and completely mesmerizing video.

[@Gimmick22]

I just can’t stop see this video, excellent music….. 😊

[@devon6valentine]

💋

[@skummybear2084]

I would just die if Choir Boy went on tour with Korine

[@Lee-zb7xq]

Today I am very thankful for procrastinating as I have found this band.

[@TheChores]

That's the one

[@wysoft]

I think it's great that you guys got Kirk Cameron to be in this video

[@MA_GE08]

Fever dream vibes

[@firstboyonthemoon8876]

Creative, catchy, quality songwriting. Good job guys.

[@10amSanta]

You get me.

[@umyum1895]

Very great vocals so cheery yet a little meloncholy

[@YamiSpechie]

so amazing, its my fav track!!

[@Foxxionly]

wish I could like this twice

[@quiznoscreature]

This song is criminally underrated. Hearing it just hurts my soul in the best possible way

[@ryuhast9832]

Cant decide if "Male Tears" and these guys have the same creative director or just channeling the same Alien for inspiration.

[@tamireslavorat336]

Que banda maravilhosa

[@luansk8-]

Boa né

[@ytwancintra]

amo muito

[@woolfy02]

I remember him saying that this song had something to do with him working in a sandwich shop. Has he ever told the rest of the story?

[@lalakuma9]

Is this the actual music video or my COVID hallucinations I can't tell 👀

[@hannahthrossell4642]

Part 2! This is fun.

[@AidingIsKey]

A masterpiece

[@crepuscularcreature1917]

[@madsattacks1457]

❤️

[@Rando64]

Genius video. I listen to this song almost every day and it makes me tear up almost everytime. After listening to it the first few times I decided I think it’s a song about queerness. I’ll never not get goosebumps to this song.

[@papaonta]

reminds me of orange juice but with more explicit content

[@juanpabloarena2724]

The 80's today. Reminds me of INFORMATION SOCIETY👍
