Miike Snow - "My Trigger" (Official Video)

[@amirulzamri7833]

I'm emotionally attached to these two.

[@nicola7021]

Funny story! My history teacher showed my class this video and then the Genghis Khan music video because his brother in law is Adam Jones (the bald guy)! How cool is that? Apparently him and the other guy get along really well and see each other a lot outside of work

[@morganclift3929]

that's so cool

[@tobito2013]

I ship em.

[@tnykuuh]

go watch the video clip Miike Snow - Genghis Khan ;)

[@YoruMaya]

Obito Uchiha who wouldn't

[@Katie-qo5oj]

Please Miike Snow make an entire series about these two, I would pay SO much money for it

[@fuduzan5562]

What, like tree fiddy?

[@liliebilie]

They should just make a movie made up of music videos with no dialogue like Daft Punk did with Interstella 5555

[@xSaraxMxNeffx]

@@liliebilie still down for a gay dancers rock opera man

[@116Bears]

It was already written in the 60s. Surprise ending.

[@WhenNerdsAttack]

Can these two men just be in every music video? Every cold war is stopped with the power of hot love.

[@cammy1349]

YES PLEASE, OUR FAVORITE TSUNDERE GAYS

[@inkedantivirus6469]

YES

[@Altyrell]

Thing is, is that now after seeing "My Trigger", it gives a whole NEW perspective on "Ghengis Khan"

[@reader3788]

Oh hell yeah, especially when the hands they start a-shakin'.

[@JonMayBowles]

Altyrell can you expand on this point? Are you suggesting they are somehow the same characters in both videos?!

[@MarkHoban1]

I'm so happy they used those two guys again.

[@laith_tieleftshoe]

Its interesting that the doves came out of Kennedy's chest and Khrushchev's head since Kennedy died after getting shot in the head and Khrushchev died of a heart attack

[@Anastasia-qk2pm]

Kennedy was an affair

[@Anastasia-qk2pm]

Having an affair** :p

Are the dancers Sputnik satellites? IS THIS THE SPACE RACE WITH RUSSIA!? OMG this is great!

Is Gorbachev still around????

[@darthhidious887]

??

[@fillmain9708]

If anyone's interested, the two actors are Edward Hayes-Neary and Adam Jones (the bald guy).

[@bobbaxter171]

Thank you

[@forester2845]

Thank you! I was wondering where i can find their names and your comment shows up.

[@sooooowhattt]

I wish wars could be resolved through interpretive dancing and song.

[@sebbys_mama]

Purple Llama that is exactly what the world needs!

[@VincentGonzalezVeg]

people need to be tought to be more responsive to that, so we can share in this experience

[@PabloYaos]

who's to say it wasn't in 62 (this video is my canon of how things happened)

[@drghaamhussain]

Yeah gay wars.

[@MFoxworth90]

I mean, have we tried that yet!?

[@biankh]

these guys just dropped the hardest music videos and disappeared without further elaboration, love them

[@hardwell2484]

yep

[@christopherricharfs2061]

8 years later and this + genghis khan are the two music videos i rewatch the most. The two best songs paired with the best two videos ever. It pulls my trigger.

[@ewelogy]

As someone who got a 5 on the AP US history exam I can assure you this is a 100% accurate depiction of the Cuban Missile Crisis

[@samreid6010]

I mean, essentially yeah. Kennedy and Khrushchev were surrounded by hawks demanding that they escalate a situation that no one had a handle on and it was only because they both broke diplomatic protocol and spoke directly that the situation resolved peacefully. They pioneered the famous red phones that connected the White House to the Kremlin

[@EdwardHazell]

oh my

[@Jessie-Loser]

Love this song! The music video is perfect. I'm getting very attached to Edward Hayes Neary and Adam Jones so I hope you'll keep putting them in your videos! They have a really great dynamic.

[@monocerotos]

Me too, it's frightening.

[@theorrymusic]

The two music video's that they are in so far, are probably my favorite music videos

[@idiotette]

100% agreed.

[@jennifertingelof-truecrime5890]

I ship it so much :P

[@aaaa-tb6ql]

Give me an entire album with these two and the cast from the Heart is Full video performing in each songs video

[@kibble24]

YES. I love these two. Also, you guys need to hire Ninian Doff to do literally all of your music videos, he's absolutely brilliant!

[@njuta]

Took the words right out of my mouth.... any typed 'em out.

Yes absolutely and we still need a ghengis khan movie I mean coming soon to a theater near you soooo..... still waiting lol

[@SirMr.M]

3 things: 1. They should do more with history and these two amazing actors 2. Can they please create new songs, i love their music:( 3. This song has to get more attention in 2022

[@rebbekahcannons9805]

I'd say it's getting a bit currently

[@bizbite2]

This song will become popular again due to Russia Ukraine Nato WWIII situation… oh boy!!!

[@AlishaV]

Maybe these guys are star-crossed lovers, soulmates, brought together in each life, but they never get to just be with each other. In each reincarnation they are divided by politics, countries, and ex-wives.

I'll buy that

[@davidlane1248]

I dig that idea. I don't know if it's the directing or the actors natural talent- or a combo of both, but they have some crazy ass chemistry on screen. I love it

[@AlishaV]

@@davidlane1248 They really do. They're really talented. A movie with the both of them would be amazing.

[@HumorBagel]

I dont see it often but you are MORE than right. That is such a classy touch. **JAZZ HANDS** 1:25

[@U_C_G]

I kinda hope when aliens invade Earth they find this video and think it's a historically accurate depiction of the end of the cold war

[@Merthalophor]

the simple will for peace was the only deterret of nuclear warefare on multiple occasions. it's not that inaccurate, apart from the stylization....

[@true7251]

I'm an alien and this was spoiler!!

[@DracoVictorious]

You mean it isn't?

[@DallasTaylor]

Aliens made this to convince future generations of humans it is historically accurate 🤯

I was so excited to see those guys again! I hope they give us the whole story.

The whole story is that of JFK and Khrushchev this is a video on the cold war it doesn't have anything to do with their previous music videos just has the same actors.

[@DeanScelfo]

If these 2 are in another music video for this Album I'll DIE

[@azura7085]

i just love Miikesnow for this kind of songs! That hand shaking move means the song is dope

[@hatchcrazy]

1:25 The "admiral" to Khrushchev's right deserves a goddamn Oscar for keeping a straight face while dancing. Alternate title for this video: "I Know Directors Who Use Subtext To Draw A Freudian Equivalence Between Sex And Violence And They're All Cowards".

[@MGAF688]

What really makes Miike Snow special is the creative/unusual music videos that accompany the music itself. The music videos are clever and entertaining - like mini-movies.

[@davidlane1248]

The early 2000's MTV scene really got into the whole "mini movie for a music video" thing, but a lot of them were largely unconnected to the lyrics, just something that fit the vibe of the music. Nothing wrong with that, but that's why the videos themselves aren't remembered as vividly as the music It really stands out in Miike Snow music videos because they often tie in heavily with the theme AND lyrics while telling very emotionally driven mini stories about the human condition. Despite the lack of real dialogue, these are stories about characters, not events- something really hard to pull off in such a short span. Not to mention these serious looking characters breaking out into dance in the middle of the scene and the supporting cast just kinda goes with it while still in character It's charming on multiple levels and feels like the story is taking place as the beats of the song change. It's truly master class story telling, but on a small scale. Like an incredibly talented artist doodling intricate pictures on a post it note

[@aquilajm7485]

I want these two to dance in every video, advert, gif... in fact anything FOREVER! They are perfect

[@emho5135]

I just love the idea that powerful world leaders sometimes just need a moment to stop and have a dance. It'd make so many historical dramas so much better.

Face and body proportions,body language (not talking about the obvious)....gosh she's got everything.

[@nischalrana1666]

Watched a good documentary on this era and Nikita Khrushchev and came to appreciate how accurate the portrayal is.

[@cutterkelly01]

Another amazingly produced video that brings a new depth to an already somewhat thought provoking song! Hopefully this will become big like the others

[@Smidgenism]

What I'm getting here is that Ninian Doff made a Cuban Missile Crisis AU video for his wonderful boys

[@5goldrings1]

I just heard some music I loved and asked, who does this? Obviously I’ve been living under a rock. Now I have to listen to it all. Just loving it. Genghis khan is so good. Love the video.

[@newflightvideos]

I love the touch at 1:06 which establishes that the Soviet leader is actually Khrushchev and the memo talking about the missile crisis... places this video on the timeline a bit more. Also again, perfect lyrics for the video! "Murder ain't your thing, you just shoot for thrill" = the arms race, etc. And when he looks at Khrushchev's picture and says "they say your body is full of sin, but they cant see the world we are in"... WOW chills.

[@francoisluneau]

We need this more than anything in 2022... Sadly too relevant today.

[@emilyburke5134]

WHY ARE THERE ONLY A MILLION VIEWS??? THIS IS QUALITY ENTERTAINMENT AND I'M ASHAMED FOR THE REMAINING 6.999 BILLION PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SHOWN A LITTLE RESPECT AND WATCHED THIS

[@typoking]

I would very happily watch a series about these two trying to reconcile the wars within themselves and each other. Two very important men on opposite sides of conflict consistently finding themselves running into one another. They are doing their damnedest to avoid each other, but the circumstances of their employments continuously drive the two into one another's paths in one way or another. They were, or are, for all intents and purposes, "straight" when they are around everyone else, but they are inextricably drawn to one another. They do not know why, but try as they might, they find it harder and harder to fight their urges. They are forced to keep yet another secret from the people they love and the people they work for. Until, one day, they eventually end up in an underground lair, where the one has the opportunity to kill the other, but hesitates. It could all be done. This insane madness that strikes when they are in the same room together could end and he could go back to the world he knows. But he can't do it. The button is right there in his hand, but he can't bring himself to destroy this man, the bane of his existence. They are connected. He doesn't know what will happen if he destroys this other person. Will things go back to normal? Or won't they? He presses a button. The shackles release and the man moves to make his escape, but he, too, hesitates..and then!..well, we know the rest of the story!

1:08 legit product placement : Audez Sine headphones. High end audiophile headphones in the military

[@metroid473]

Are they the best headphones in the game?

[@Silverwarhawk]

metroid473 Audeze Sine is designed by BMW Designworks. It's one of the cheapest Audeze you can buy at 450-500$, as compared to its über high end models like LCD-3 at 1400$ a pop. If portability is your game, Audeze Sine could potentially be the best in its class. It uses planar magnetic drivers and is future proof (if you're an iPhone user, as iPhone 7 does not have a headphone jack). Just bear in mind, if you are getting the iPhone 7, opt for the Lighting cable version
