Dum Dum Girls - Rimbaud Eyes [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@LeonParadis-vc3sc]

It is 4:22 a.m., November 4, 2024. I just discovered this band. They are amazing! A combination of good rock music, femininity, beauty and elegance. And this video is mesmerizing. 💖💋🎸

[@MarcusMartin-y1c]

I found them through their cover of There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. What an incredible band.

[@carlhorowitz7570]

Phenomenal. The tone of the guitars, the vocals, Sune Rose Wagner's production -- rock in a minor key doesn't get any better than this.

[@wkenneth7916]

I can't believe I only discovered this band two days ago. Their work is so good.

Same here for me. I discovered them about four months ago too.

Hey, I see from pics taken May 1, 2014 at the London, Scala gig kicking off DDGs' European tour that Dee Dee's hubby Brandon, whose band Crocodiles opened, was wearing his Arthur Rimbaud tee shirt, the very one with the famous "Rimbaud eyes" photo of the poet Dee Dee says inspired her to write the song she sang later that eve. Nice tie-in!

[@richardikin]

This band is concrete proof that music i find on KZbin is a billion times better than any current chart music.

This song and video is truly mesmerizing! I can't seem to get it out of my head and for some reason I want to put it on infinite repeat!

[@luismanuelcanojimenez1349]

Well, congrats to anyone who ever do not discover this amazing band. Sorry for them. But, there she goes and, believe me, the best I have ever heard in years. Long life to them, and sorry for my English if it is not accurate.

[@treffbennett6534]

outstanding song from an album with some absolutely beautiful tunes.You just don't hear much of this guitar based, highly melodic music anymore.Damn shame! Love the entire album-total ear candy!

I can't believe bi discovered them about 10 mins a go fucking love them fucken. Cool band ❤😂 Sydney Australia 29/5/2023

[@sleepytomnc]

This is a very cool band. i like this video but they are better live. Very cool song, Rimbaud, of course, deserves the attention. I like how they used bits of his poem "The Drunken Boat". Good to hear that is still inspiring us. I put bits of that poem and a couple other Rimbaud pieces to music too, ( i know it is not quite to so great an effect as the dd girls version). I will paste the link to my version of Druken Boat, not sure if it will work though..... Rimbaud Drunken Boat

upon the first listen ( a bit ago ) before knowing the song title, i thought she said Bimbo Eyes. then i googled Rimbaud. I love the Dum Dum Girls, have all their albums and i reeeeeally love the song and the feel of the video.

Got into them only last week, bought Too True & listened through it about twice . . . and then suddenly today this song takes over my brain from out of nowhere. Her secret weapon must be one that works via delayed reaction.

Did any of you catch the reference to one of Rimbaud's poems about a boat? It's in the bridge of the song.

Yes, from The Drunken Boat.

[@iuajn8397]

very catchy music 🤗🤗

[@aatifnanji7412]

ok maybe im crazy, but I swear that when this song first came out, there was another music video, a black and white film short that appeared to be set in France that showed the day-to-day life of a young upstart the criminal underworld (shows him doing heists on motorcycles and collecting debts etc.) Does this sound familiar to anybody? im trying to track down that video and I cannot find it for the life of me. maybe im nuts and it was a video for a different song, but im certain it was this one! please help people!

[@tstrike1]

Aatif Nanji they did. it wasn't marketable since they got more popular. the big eye lashes and girl based theme sells more so that video is dead now. I like the song when it first came out and I saw the video your talking about. I can't find it now also. You're not crazy. I've seen it too

[@aatifnanji7412]

Thanks! Glad to know im not crazy

[@-INK-]

Aatif Nanji Now I'm curious to see that version.

[@aatifnanji7412]

I like the big lashes and grungy girl look too but that video was really cool and dramatic and proabably wasnt cheap to produce. Im surprised they would have just scrapped it and basically erased it from the surface web. Bring it back dee dee!

[@MultiMaxVolume]

Suze Rotolo introduced Bob Dylan to the works of Rimbaud: "I came across one of his letters called 'Je est un autre,' which translates into "I is someone else." When I read those words the bells went off. It made perfect sense. I wished someone would have mentioned that to me earlier." Bob Dylan: "Chronicles, vol 1."

Would someone please send me a link about their first video. This wasn't the first one. The first had a video about some fighters. They are a great band but the original video was different. Otherwise I can't respect them for dropping the first video that got them on the internet. Otherwise it just seems more of a corporate band exposed to make money off some chick with good looks and a hook song.

[@gregszabre9901]

She pronounces Rimbaud wrong, which is fairly embarrassing. It's not RIMbaud, like the rims of a car, or a rim job. It's French. It's closer to RAMbaud, like a Ram or ramming into something, but more accurately in between RAMbaud and REMbaud, in the French pronunciation. There's even a KZbin video for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqLYZWalprGcaJI

[@SlowDIIV]

Greg Szabre Yeah I know, it's ræmˈboʊ/ or /ˈræmboʊ/. Also the 3 verses of “Rimbaud Eyes” are 3 stanzas taken from Rimbaud's “The Drunken Boat” . Anyway, I still love the song.
