I just don't feel like he was putting enough effort into finding her, getting to know the real her or anything. She probably has a lot of suitors, he needs to believe in himself a bit more.

I was the other day in the metro here in Chile and a girl had tattoed "Forever dolphing love" in her arm. I never thought someone else in this country could know about this song and have a tattoo of it. I need the same tattoo in my arm. This song moved me like no other in years.

[@thelastofthebrohicans]

Basically the main character lives in a cold and detached world with friends who are equally as withdrawn. He finds a woman, strange and alone...much like him. So he follows her…pursues her love..but she is hardened from the truth behind life…and it’s disguise. She is too different, and so is he. There is no changing that. But She’s accepted this….loneliness. Our protagonist understands the message, but is too afraid to be alone, like the dolphin woman. so he accepts instead; existing in a world he’ll never truly feel a part of. Or some shit Idk..

I found it! My ex-boyfriend showed me this about a year or so ago and it was a magical moment indeed. We were laying out in the desert garden at night on blankets at the time. The breeze was perfumed and warm. And then I totally forgot that moment, this song etc. Well this morning I woke up with the melody in my head and fractured visions of the video but that was all. I couldn't put my fucking finger on it but then I remembered "dolphin" and added that to my "weird indie band from new Zealand video" and voila! Took me about an hour. Took me a few years. But I bought them all and wore one one day after another.

[@jackmace6531]

I like the way you think. hearing a song and kinda half registering it, but being enough in the moment that you don't try to find what it is. then later you look it up. nice. and perfumed breeze. great way to describe a breeze. like a time when I went to Hawaii, that's the best way to describe the air when I landed, perfumed

[@Gregarius91]

A story about discovering love. At the beginning he is with his friends with his eyes closed. He is so caught up with them that he shuts himself off to many other possibilities. When he opens his eyes it has a dramatic effect on his group. He now views the world differently. This causes him to be open to the possibility of love. He becomes absolutely obsessed with his love interest (The dolphin). He detaches from his group to seek her out. He begins to chase after her. losing much time in the process. His approach is rejected. He returns back to his friend group a changed man. His eyes are open, and his friends are closed. He now has an unrelatable perception of the world. The dolphins eyes are open too though. This could mean that they not only had a similar world view, but mutual feelings. At the end I think the dolphin is only symbolically with them. The dolphin is the one that got away.

1. the notion of struggling to find your identity within the art world, finding your trace and niche .

I remember listening to this my first time ever smoking weed back in 2014 and was straight having a panic attack all the way up until 2:49 when a semi passed me and I thought it was going to hit me and the next section hit simultaneously at the realization that I was safe and it literally felt like relief.

"From bleached waves That never changes From Dalston Forever dolphin love" "The Dolphin" is a late bar in Dalston / Hackney where hipsters go.

[@alexfxlll]

this makes a lot of sense now, he used to live round there ive been told

[@DeityNote]

anyone else notice that at the beginning everyone's eyes are open and they are more animate, while connan is not very animate at all and at the end they have their eyes closed while connan and the dolphin's eyes are open. idk what that symbolizes maybe love was found or something idk just something to point out

[@MrVanhoden]

I think he left his dull world to pursue her and had to lose her only to finally get her in the end, idk might be off.

[@d2xr]

Good point. You also notice the girl is literally a dolphin, maybe symbolizing that she is very different from him. Another thing to point out is when the clown leaves the original room he walks around like he doesn’t know what anything is. Another thing I wanted to point out is that throughout the video, there’s obstacles (guard fence, tree trunk) obstructing his path, but if he really want to, he could easily just go around them or jump over them but he never does. At the end of the video he finally catches up to her but this time in the middle of a forest. The forest, the clown, a dolphin are all very different things. Interesting video I still prefer king krule a version
