Destroyer - Savage Night at the Opera

[@futurhumen]

Vancouver, Motorcycle, Destroyer, it doesn't get any better than this!!! Amazing!!!

[@scottEhall3]

I freaking love Vancouver, I freaking love Destroyer. Thus this video is one of my favorites.

[@octaneartllc]

If your the same scott hall thats been dropped on his head 1000s of times in wwe your comment would make sense...

[@LoganMountstuart1]

This is just my favourite song video ever. The last 30 seconds are just absolutely beautiful. My only regret is that it took so long to discover Destroyer. All his songs start as wierd and end in beautiful symphonies.

[@GrowMasterGeneral]

In Canada, green means go, yellow means go faster, and red means look both ways before you go.

[@delmonteland]

This actually made me miss vancouver. I didn't think that was possible.

[@tiagosousalage]

gave me chills...great tune with a great video in a fabulous city!!! how i miss it...great times in vancouver. love the song, though :)

[@lupowins]

Tried recreating this video, unfortunately when I arrived at Stanley Park, Vancouver PD were waiting for me (and behind me).

[@milkmanswife93696]

what a song. what a video.

[@gundestrakid]

Dan you are grandious!!

[@elfpower8300]

Nifty also.

[@FailedRorschachTest]

This was the only take they could keep, in the eight others the driver was murdered by a car.

[@raymondfabrice6618]

un groupe, d'une rare élégance, la bande-son de la société liquide...

[@SHREDDERMG]

nice view of gas town in vancouver b.c.

[@aversal]

I wanna chart that route, go to Vancouver and walk it through

[@IProvideLyrics1924]

A savage night at the opera Another savage night at the club Let’s face it, old souls like us are being born to die! It's not a war 'til someone loses an eye! Yes, I’m familiar with your scene Some would say, shockingly uptight 21-gun salute to the Fallen Birds Of The Sky I heard their record, it’s alright… Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value… Hey, Infinite Sense Of Value… Hey, Mystic Prince Of The Purlieu At Night! I heard your record, it’s alright… You’ll never guess just what I’ve seen… A horse abandoned midstream… Quatrain etched on a dirtpile… Quatrain etched, hey that’s your style! You’ll never guess just where I’ve been… A life abandoned midstream… Quatrain etched on a turnstile… Just set the loop and then go wilder…

[@ajfazevedois]

Great song. Great band. Great city.

[@BURNANNATOR]

ajfazevedois city?

[@benfsinger]

@@BURNANNATOR Si Señor.

[@pLasticiTic]

Has anyone else noticed all the red-light-running?

[@drunkroku4054]

LOL

[@dakotagordon8756]

Maybe?😇😈👽

[@a.kaplya]

Не такой уж он и красный))

[@WlZARDJENKINS]

no haha did cross my mind but didn't notice any...

[@m_crowley6674]

you can turn right on red tho

[@khukhem1001]

in Italy (Naples) too!

[@WheatFieldWithCrows]

Great modern-day take on C'etait un rendezvous!

[@rok2dor]

Beautiful.

[@markatsvensson]

Destroyer is the greatest band. Ever.

[@benfsinger]

That period, really sold it! But, nah, they're good though!

[@daniyark6991]

I don't think that's wrong

[@centerAeternus]

▼ Que bonito recorrido!!! y con la rola uuff!!!

[@alan22]

@Shadow67th yup, that's Vancouver for ya

[@Chiszle]

@kapewaken - Yes, this is early, and it's awesome.

[@archenema6792]

I don't why, but this evokes the long play version of Take On Me by a-Ha in my mind.

[@sgloo89]

beautiful

[@hightimesbruce]

@fuelyournews It's a music video! The director decided the images fit the song well, and they do!

[@joebazooks]

WHAAAATTT... that's gas town! I live here :D

[@ElenaTrajkova]

веќе цела година сте ми хит :)

[@Pratalax]

haha i like the twist at the end!

[@markatsvensson]

Beautiful city!

[@wetigaz]

bududum dum bododudum

[@Ekcellence]

ya i saw it

[@airgearcrow]

@pLasticiTic red lights without cameras are more of suggestions

[@projectkaleidoscope]

your song brought me back to the 80s =)

[@alexkate8091]

@pLasticiTic yes and i wonder if they got caught running them.

[@steffen8741]

Bunny's snap anyone? 😂❤

[@Charlie-qb1ub]

Steffen Phareau yeah 😂😂

[@BRACKO98]

Damn Crazy

[@mjamesharding]

I don't know why but this song feels like a rendition of Bruce Cockburn's If Tree Falls.

[@naenaetaylor]

@pLasticiTic yip its cool though, makes you feel like youre on the bike.

[@nnddrrww]

Vancouver

[@mynameisChesto]

Vancouver, Fuck yeah!

[@HansHellman]

@Fivedots55 haa... wow

[@MontrealMan1970]

how did she get through all the red lights w/o going str8 to the morgue?

[@donnybrook9890]

Because it's at sunrise. Very little traffic.

[@genericusername546]

@bernabetc and a good song

[@iamrichRD2]

This fucking made me cry. Fuck.

[@BoredThatsWhy]

Exhaust note owns music!!

[@nitedreamer23]

Instead of a lovely women like at the end of Lelouch's, it's...Dan! Nice twist.

[@Clarence226]

Impressive

[@swordimpulse07]

Meanwhile the song I associate with Montreal is "Lady Hear Me Tonight" by Modjo

[@anthonyderbish]

gastown? at the begining kinda?

[@relaxmarco]

Snow patrol is a copy. This one is just inspired by the original. I'm talking about the 1976 film by Lelouch

[@flaviorox95]

musica canadense é muito boa, não canso de escutar essa!

[@danielhussey3631]

That original film was kind of a hoax. He supposedly used his Mercedes and later dubbed the sounds of a Ferrari 275GTB (which is now a $3 million car) as the soundtrack. Great re-creation. What city is that? Vancouver?

[@1098910989]

camera not shaking makes it a very nice video and also good music too. but why did you mount your camera so low? and why did you so many red lights?

[@mhbackman]

Snow Patrol weren't "inspired" by the film, they just used the original footage as overlay footage for their track. Destroyer, on the other hand, created something new while paying homage to Lelouch's short.

[@fineworkscoverart]

And they should have used a stabilizer in 2011... But hey, it's still an excellent video though! :)

[@crazydafy]

niceee wasnt expecting it to be a girl love the reference to lelouche! that was perfect !

[@ladylowrider]

BEAUTIFUL .....IT WAS A GIRL ....HOW NICE F THE RED LIGHTS SHE WAS CAREFUL AND FOUND SAFE IN HER LOVERS ARMS ...THAT IS WHAT MATTERED! LOVELY!

[@BeeDotSix]

Hey, Dan actually appeared in a video!

[@kapewaken]

Where are the cars where are the people? Its 6 AM or something? Desert City?

[@bernabetc]

kinda like open your eyes - snow patrol, except in Canada and with a motorcycle

[@badshaksly]

red and green must both mean "go" in canada...

[@teamballsout]

Great video. Shame the motorcycle ride was a bit bumpier than that of a Ferrari 275 GTB.

[@erindi23]

Which city is this??

[@catcounsell487]

Vancouver

[@donnybrook9890]

Vale Er I live a few blocks away from where the video started. It's a northern edge of Downtown Vancouver. I love the concept

[@masonic1]

I couldn't decide if this was Seattle or not until you saw the skyline at the end. I guess I was close. lol

[@fheisk]

i looked at the comments and was like, ok so this guy runs a red light. no. he runs 50 in the first two minutes.

[@donnybrook9890]

She

[@bernabetc]

@genericusername546 i think both are really good songs

[@frambles]

Prefab Sprout

[@robertorico4835]

New Order

[@popelineout6143]

❤️🇵🇹

[@fuelyournews]

0k // An homage to the Claude Lelouch short "C'était un rendez-vous". \\ but why that music?? lol

[@maciekomis]

it must be a dog driving that bike. "grey light. oh, cool, another grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. grey light. ......."

[@nicholascmcneill]

@plasticiTic run... run all of the red light

[@delmonteland]

Move to small town BC, and you'll know. You'll know what you were missing this whole time.

[@octaneartllc]

Nobody is missing a commie shithole run by a turd and infested with junkies...

[@jmbenning]

@ethereal2pt2 Haha I'm a Canadian and I don't do any of these things! :P

[@Thelastpanda84]

@kuubamies hehehe "Sweetie", it´s not ColUmbia (that´s in South Carolina, USA....)...it´s ColOmbia, ok?.... general knowledge quiz = 1; jokes: 0 :).

[@bigbangAT]

[@caitlinklask]

[@pumafutbol99]

Reckless Op

[@nodovicosettembrini7936]

ბარარარამ ბამ ბამ ბარარარა :)))

[@louis-emmanuelwarnock2668]

[@RobertoLage]

Incredible homage to C'était un rendez-vous (watch?v=LDXFvtVlYcM). Superb!

[@GrahamTattersall]

Here's the Paris original this is based on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYCbmICOp9d4ic0

[@warrendates5021]

Is this GTA V? ; )

[@eduardlazarus4935]

GTA VI: Vancouver

[@laykamarie]

can u pls take me with you?heheheh

[@Revealingstorm.]

Dude went through a few red lights the fuck

[@benfsinger]

They must have shot this at the crack of oh-dark-hundred, because not a single cyclist on the streets of Vancouver? Unheard of!

[@Jujejee]

I love this song, maybe also becus of the ride, Now I have to admit in a sexpsychomobile.

[@julietb89]

the entire video i thought we were heading to lion's gate...

[@betodj90]

why is so alone? almost no cars??

[@donnybrook9890]

Sunrise. Not alot happening Downtown at that hour

[@Jujejee]

its so coincidence so many ways.. to you 3rd party people, YOU ALL KNOW IM COMPARABLE TO A- TAK.

[@bluecolumbine]

I am filming a music video, I ain’t got no time for red rights!

[@bob666rock]

Snow patrol open your eyes video copy !!

[@nepison]

lol

[@Videos5197]

Why? I mean is it considered really shitty here by people and I'm just unaware of it?

[@ryanserring]

Blatant rip off of OMD's "Enola Gay" ?

[@benfsinger]

whose what?

[@youSabatel]

I had this on my mind, and couldn't remember the original song where it has been taken from. Sounds clear to me too. Thanks!

[@ReggieWriteous]

GOOD MUSIC? KZbin/reggiewriteous

[@bob666rock]

It's mean snow patrol inspirated by that film first !

[@caiosdiaslk]

very 'anticlimax' video. awesome song tho.

[@benfsinger]

you didn't climax while watching it? Shame.

[@funkyasi]

Good one, I like Rendezvous better, same thing, but through Paris with a much better soundtrack!

[@SaveHipHop100]

wtfits

[@snivitz]

Fleet foxes

[@sulaimannh]

Destroyer's music videos are even better than his music.
