John Grant - Down Here (Official Video)

[@jeffjames9002]

John Grant makes me think, his music and videos poke my mind to reflect and see another perspective, whilst giving a great track. He's a master in a musical age where so much music sounds and feels humdrum. Brilliant. Thank you John.

[@gregoryclark8217]

The bass clarinet solo at the end is out of this world.

[@wingsandash]

You're beautiful, John. Thank you for the talent, intelligence... for you.

[@cathyfitzpatrick9384]

What a fabulous Video ...reminds me of my late friend Gary a gentle spirit helping other s that were close to his heart Gary helped come outand helped them to believe in themselves evensupported friends when others around were soooo mean and negative . I really loved your nature and miss you hun....Gone too soon

[@Perspectologist]

This was a wonderful work of art, visually, auditory and philosophically.

[@henrikibsen6258]

One of his best songs yet. Oh my goodness.

[@VinylCollectorJames]

love this song from the new album, video fits it very well. You continue to impress John Grant

[@petedorey7883]

+VinylCollector James Agree, I just can't stop playing this track; it's beautiful, melodic yet melancholy all at the same time.

[@stephenhenderson1493]

Great song, great video. You never fail to impress, John.

[@br.finncollbuckley368]

As always, an excellent piece of work! 👏

[@richjones7313]

amazing production

[@Fluffsism]

'Because all we're doing is learning how to die' Close to blubbing every time I hear that line. Think it's the way he sings it.

[@Matt.Willoughby]

Great line

[@AgeasSalisFest]

Great music. Looking forward to see you at the Festival!

[@loveismyair]

[@fauxsuede4453]

John Grant & Lisa Gunning. Don't need to say anything.

[@davidmorris7050]

Amazing!

[@rheumapterahastata7225]

lyrics [Verse 1] You do this, and you'll get that I want what I was promised, I'm a bit impatient And what is it exactly that you think that you deserve No more, no less, is that ridiculous [Chorus] Cause what we got down here is oceans of longing And guessing games, and no guarantees And you work so hard to be in control And now you're laughing at yourself because you can't let go [Verse 2] Cause all we're doing is learning how to die Do you really think that nobody see's the fear behind your smile? And why do you care what anybody thinks at all It's all going to the same thing in the end [Chorus] And what we got down here is oceans of longing And guessing games, and no guarantees And you work so hard to be in control And now you're laughing at yourself because you can't let go And what we got down here is oceans of longing And guessing games, and no guarantees And you work so hard to be in control And now you're laughing at yourself because you can't let go

[@om3o]

Beautiful

[@Banglish123]

Thanks for reminding me about the mail order catalogue thing.

[@BCause-qv1mk]

Quirky video. In tune with this melancholy song.

[@ignatiusbk]

Reminded me of the 1984 YA novel 'The Boys on the Rock.' And of course the Kathleen Winter book and Goldfrapp video for "Annabel" (latter also by Gunning).

[@JacksonArantes]

Great!

[@j9phoenix149]

Your voice is gorgeous -reminds me a bit of Iggy Pop when he uses it for beautiful songs like Shades - Love this clip too.

[@KazBeer110]

Хорошая музыка 👍🏻

[@petitindi9094]

Oh que bonita canción Y que bonito víde

[@ayoncarmelle4106]

[@thehassinator69]

[@keijokauranen5504]

Jonn, I want to hear and see you perform this beautiful song at the MOOG Sound Lab.

[@OOFTVMusicVideos]

rad. adding to our new music video playlist, can we share on our live stream too?

[@capzone9383]

Well done Connor

[@joshcoker2509]

Why are so many John Grant videos shot in London? I thought he was American, I'm not complaining mind you, can we keep him?

[@four4ces]

Josh Coker he lives in iceland so i'd guess London is the closest place to shook videos?

[@rickh024]

Nope, Reykjavik is de closest place to shoot video's ;-)

[@forsgren81]

Josh Coker he is american. Maybe he decided us is too homofobic and moved to iceland. 😁 there it does not matter who you share bed with, as long as he/she/it is warmblooded.

[@anlymoianlymoi1181]

He also speaks nearly perfect Russian, is interested in Russian music and literature, and has sang with an awesome Russian band (at least one, possible more). So I guess he is pretty pro-multiculturalism

[@lordgallop]

Chicken bones was filmed in Cardiff

[@thewotsit]

Sounds that run deep.

[@alexg8537]

Wow.

[@СергейСуров-й7ч]

❤❤😂😂🎉

Annabelle!

[@alanbrennan8503]

Great song and great publicity for Crystal Palace and the Sports Centre, let,s make it an international hit. . Alan Brennan

[@thisisfabulosa]

why can't I be happy??

[@aprilozere2727]

Can anyone tell me if the solo is a bass clarinet or some kind of sax? It sounded to me like the bass clarinet but I'm not sure and I would like to know for sure

[@EmmaFrancesCEP]

I play bass clarinet and im pretty sure thats what is playing here, just one of the reasons i love this song

[@watkinscopicat]

very cool very modern

[@aita9724]

Yoruldum... Daha fazla bu kahrolası yaşama tahammül etmek istemiyorum..

[@victorballesteralarcon8011]

I love you.

[@ignatiusbk]

An obvious nod to Gunning's own "Annabel," it also reminds me of the early gay YA book 'The Boys on the Rock.'

[@IgorVisotsky]

+100! from RUSSIA!

[@forsgren81]

The Stranglers on valium. At least ending was better than i feared; he is happy.

[@ahjs2931]

my housemate says 'it sounds like leonard cohen writing a song for madness' (in a good way).

[@alleyoop4465]

He's no Cohen.

[@garrypayne5733]

Does this remind anyone else of Absolute Beginners?

[@quixoticduck]

I thought no but then I re-heard the bit at 1:22-1:27 and I see what you mean.

[@consumidorcontato256]

Oooooh... [brain explosion] : O Thanks, Clara.

[@EmmaFrancesCEP]

[@ezbozovago]
