Also, I noticed a few interesting details. In the beginning of the video you see the first shot of Ned's antlers; they are already split (though not yet sharpened). Also, in the first shot of Clancy himself, he's playing the Ukelele and has black painted hands and neck, yet in the subsequent shots when he's preparing, he doesn't have any black paint on his hands or neck. I wonder if Paladin Strait is a huge flashback of the first part of the battle, and him playing the ukelele on the cliff is him just recounting the story🤔

[@rafaelfelipe2929]

What if the real Clancy is the one seating down the shore and he's not there, and he is just singing the song thinking how he could defeat Nico and imagining how the battle would happen, like "Just a glimpse of visual aid, Of you on the other shoreline, Waitin', expectations that I'm gonna make it" (this part could be about Nico waiting or maybe the banditos waiting Clancy on the other side) like Clancy isn't sure if he's ready to fight Nico and then he's on the shore thinking about it. And it would make sense the fact that maybe he is seizing someone else to get to nico and to be sure he's ready, and in the final moment of the MV of Paladin strait when he open his eyes I got the feeling that now Clancy knows he's ready. And what makes me think that this is accurate is that he tweeted about the shows not being the final battle, the shows will be he preparing for the real battle with the banditos(that in the shows will be us the clique) and after the tour is over either we will be getting another song or the double album.

[@rafaelfelipe2929]

I've been too much invested in the lore this era lol

[@yourfavebandito]

thats such a good theory i never would’ve thought about that

[@Odd1006]

Yea I definitely think if we're getting more music, it won't be till after the tour. Honestly if that's the case I won't be mad, perfectly fine with them stretching the album cycle out

[@GabrielaBuriu]

Seems like a valid theory

[@Nyle.A]

But when he got to the tower, he took off his mask revealing his face

[@malakialighieri]

a theory that i have about the minute of silence in the song and not the video, i believe that it’s actually a moment of silence like at war funerals. typically 30 seconds of silence is used to represent one life lost, and it being one minute long could mean that two lives will be lost. this could imply that not only will Nico die, but Clancy too. “we’ll win but not everyone will get out” really hits different if that’s the case

[@jenlnicholson]

Multiple Clancys in the Banditos: he’s just a copy according to Blurry

[@kellireimers32]

Can we confirm that we are seeing Julie and Michael now as Glorious Goners instead of Banditos? Did they not make it out with the others? BTW, thank you for breaking things down in such a simple and wholesome way with positive conotations even when you feel frustration or disappointment. You are a breath of intelligent air in a world full of snark and complaints. Thank you for giving this old gal a place to visit knowing she can count on a quality analysis! Bravo young man!

[@EllieReagan]

Oooh come on, you can’t be that old!

[@stevxnofficial]

For the shot of the neon lights making out a word, I'm pretty sure it says "E UP 8325", the first part referencing the very well known phrase "East Is Up" while 8325 is referring to the pages from the Clancy Digital Remains booklet pages, which when pieced together made a password that got us the Paladin Strait MV Teaser.

[@TartarSauce8406]

I feel like the minute of silence is for the fallen banditos and glorious gone

[@sethfreakinphair2866]

Then why does the video cut to black for 2 seconds then stitch the 2 parts together and the Spotify version has the blank minuet if your theory was the case the Spotify version would be stitched together and the video would have the minuet

[@boofed9910]

@@sethfreakinphair2866because realistically there isnt much you can put in a minute of silence for a music video

[@sethfreakinphair2866]

@@boofed9910 still makes no sense to CUT TO BLACK in the video and stitch the parts together if it wasa moment of silence it'd be in the video just cope that you're wrong

[@selaroseart]

Your reference to 1984 was really interesting. In reminds me of Clancy in his apartment during the Nico and the Niners video. The dark, lonely apartment really reflects the book. Clancy also has a desk where he keeps the yellow flowers from his escape attempts. This is very similar to how Winston keeps things illegal things in his own desk. I'm convinced the connection is on purpose, which isn't exactly super surprising, given that the story is also dystopian. Also, side note: I think George Orwell would ponder a while over the lyric from Bandito: "I'm still not sure if fear's a rival or close relative to truth."

[@PlaybyPlay225_2.0]

The battle scene and the secret door reminded me of a few lines in Morph, There's no above or a secret door. What are we here for if not to run straight through our tormentors

[@gracemattison3157]

yesss, and i think there’s a bigger significance in the lyrics “not done, josh dun”(morph) and “not done come up runnin with josh dun”(overcompensate) than we think!

Although many refer back to Mulberry Street's Livestream version, where sentences from Clancy's first letter are spoken.

[@Good_Day_Dema]

Ive seen a few potential theories about what haopened to the 'rebel red' rebellion within the city. the general consensus is that they will disrupt Nico by saing Tyler, just like how he saved them from the horrors of vialism. Nice video dude! The concise explanation is really appreciated and definitely makes it a lot easier to go back on points of the MV.

[@Feetsmeller696]

Good day to you Dema

[@KainCarthyst]

In the live chat for the premiere the band chatted "|-" instead of "|-/" implying its not over yet. Tyler also tweeted recently that the live shows were not the final battle but a "reminder of why we fight before we do" impkying the final fight will happen after the world tour

[@gutohenrique3108]

i hope its not after the world tour, its so much time

[@emobanan21]

Hello, my friends from "bandito camp" and I came up with a theory Clancy deceived the bishops like fools, but how? Let's pay attention to the fact that the real Tyler/Clancy has a scar on his nose. This scar essentially hints at the lore: "Hey viewer, check the lore has arrived!" But there is another explanation for this! Remember the clip for "Overcompensate"? Throughout the clip, Clancy walks around without a scar, and sometimes without a mask. The real Tyler/Clancy uses the “seizing” move! Everything we saw during the clip was just a narration from Tyler’s point of view; in fact, he was using the corpse (or vessel) of some noname! To remain anonymous, the vessel wore a mask the whole time. We only saw a picture from the narrator Tyler, where he appeared cool without a mask and without a scar. At the end of the clip, we see the real Clancy/Tyler moving away from the “seizing” state, and he has a scar on his nose. So that's what all this is about, and it explains the events in the "Paladin Strait" video where Clancy/Tyler does the same thing, fooling the bishops. And that's the irony! What does Niсo say? "Hello Clancy." But in fact, there is no Clancy there! Another suspicious point from the "Paladin Strait" video is the horns. Why is Tyler whittling them? The theory that he was preparing a replica of the horns, a fake in other words, to make everything look natural. The real horns in the hands of Tyler/Clancy, who is in a state of “seizing.”

[@cyndizebra6119]

Yes! And there is the scene of Tyler seeming to direct the fight while he sings on the cliff.

[@coco-cu9xf]

So we wouldn't see the real Clancy/Tyler once in PS mv? Because even when he has black hands and necks on the cliff, he doesn't have a scar on his nose..... That is such an interesting theory thank you!!!!

[@GanelOnid_21]

Great content as always. My only comment would be your stating that the torchbearer was the mastermind behind what happened in the Outside; actually, we know now that he was never there. The real torchbearer hasn't seen Tyler/Clancy since the Levitate music video. All SAI videos AND overcompensate were the two other torchbearers that Clancy made up in his head to help. Tyler mentioned in the livestream that there are three, but only the bandito one is real, which we learned in Navigating.

[@christiantolliver6331]

I think it might be implied that the citizens from the Overcompensate mv were the ones who escaped and brought Torchbearer the Clancy mask to give to Clancy once he was at the Bandito camp

[@Stolen.Potential]

I really don’t think so, none of the Banditos were wearing the red duct tape they were seen wearing.

[@christiantolliver6331]

@@Stolen.Potential true, I didn't think about that

[@GanelOnid_21]

Seems unlikely but it DOES bring up another question. How did the "real" torchbearer get the Clancy mask from inside the city?

[@elishaadams6261]

Great videooo thanks Jake

[@AndrewKnepper]

Always enjoy your lore explanations and theories! Also being a camera gear nerd I appreciate your professional setup! What camera, lens, lights, mic, and editing do you use? Just curious!

[@AKR1YLC_]

The bird noises in the song actual have a rlly cool purpose. Because of the extra minute the song was extended, nico says hello clancy at exactly 6:25. Another crazy refrence to june 25th.

[@diegooooo95]

Man… your videos are life 🔥 Stay Alive Bro

[@gessesilva35]

About the birds space on the original song, Routines In The Night explains it: So beautiful the space between A painful reminder and a terrible dream Just like in this storyline, when he reminds everything he's fighting for which can cause some pain, and the terrible dream that he lives while finding Nico. Also a real event I experiment before sleep, that one minute between my thoughts taking away my life and the nightmares I have all night long.

[@Doth-A_Dreamer]

Do you guys think it's a coincidence that the audio for "Chlorine" matches almost perfectly with the Paladin Strait video?

[@gracemattison3157]

“rebel red carnation grows while i decay, im runnin for my life” i think im gonna be sick

[@coltennoah8215]

i don't get it could u explain how?

[@Doth-A_Dreamer]

@@coltennoah8215 I just played the song chlorine on spotify while watching the paladin strait video muted on youtube. Because the two songs last the same amount of time and have similar musical structures, the Chlorine music could probably have made a cool alternative to Paladin strait music for the Paladin strait video.

[@TomBrady-pl7lc]

The zombies neon lights spell extra 6/25

[@TomBrady-pl7lc]

Or 24

[@ewolfgirl]

Like an extra song on 6/24 or 6/25?! Like Drag Path? YES that would be so cool!!! 🙏 This was a beautifully crafted video and I like the theories that Clancy/Tyler was able to stare down his biggest fear (Nico) at the end. The ending was so abrupt though, and I feel like we need some resolution for the Torchbearer and Banditos. They're down there like "WTH just happened? The zombies just passed out!"

[@fatdumduck]

A theory bc im bored: The "way in they will never suspect" is being used in the PSMV. Overcompensate Tyler is seizing PS Tyler, that's why when nico is smearing him he can open his eyes. My prediction is that if there is something to follow, PS tyler will fall to the ground (just like the kid at the end of overcompensate) and the real fight will happen between the army of red banditos (?) (idk what to call them lol) with Overcompensate Tyler vs the seized dead people that nico controls. (I'm just throwing it out there so that in case something like that happens I can say I called it lmao)

[@gracemattison3157]

Overcompensate tyler was being seized by the outside tyler (if im not mistaken), so i don’t think it’s that version of him seizing PS tyler. in the PSMV we see tyler in the same outfit from the outside and i think that’s a huge detail. he is preparing the antlers (wtv they’re called lol) in that outfit in PS, and we can see him using the antlers in the same outfit from the outside mv, to seize and kill keons. i think that represents in this music video, “the outside” version of tyler is the one seizing the clancy version of tyler. i’m not good at explaining things so i really hope that makes sense 😭

[@gaminginquotes]

Quick Jumpsuit correlation theory: "I'll be right there, but you'll have to grab my throat and lift me in the air if you need anyone." This lyric was all I could think about during the closing sequence. What I'm thinking is "I'll be right there" infers that Clancy is not there, at the top of the tower with Nico. But he will be. Nico knows that the Clancy he has in a chokehold is a decoy, and is mocking him with "Hello, Clancy." Almost to say I see that you are a coward hiding behind a copy. Clancy WOULD "swim the Paladin Strait," but he can't... he has to actually finish things with Blurryface. I realize that, likely, not an ounce of this is true - but it's fun to think and pretend.

[@zachsalminen]

It seems that there are parts of the teaser video that are missing from the music video, and vice versa which makes me think there is a “full version” coming where we will see the events after Clancy opens his eyes.

[@zarafinnegan]

Looking forward to this one!! 😜

[@positiveproductions6699]

Thanks for the explanation video I honestly think we could get one more song but the only thing that is kind of making me think this is legitimately the end in the intro to the music video where it shows the title of the song it says from the album Clancy none of the other songs have said from the full album Clancy until paladin straight music video at least not to my knowledge I could be wrong

[@user-le6ef4zv5h]

When Clancy stared into Nico's eyes I remembered a quote from Nietzsche: "And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you". Chills.

[@TomtheGoat22]

There is a video by a person named ScaredandIcy, and he/she explains that there are birds in paladin strait, and in good day. this created a theory in my head that clancy is a cycle, and not a cycle to blurryface, but a cycle to sai. there are birds in the intermission of paladin strait, which could leave room to start the song good day since the birds sound similar.

[@KaylanRice-hx3fo]

I’m thinking the moment of silence might be significant during the live show. Knowing these guys, they do everything for a reason, so there’s gotta be some kind of significance to it.

[@EllieReagan]

The bird sounds were to extend the song long enough to 6:25, where Nico says “Hello Clancy.” That’s not really needed in the video, because the video doesn’t need to hype us up for 6/25 like the album would have.

[@robertschmidt8858]

The next song in the album starts in the last couple of seconds of the video. I need to go listen to self titled and RAB to see if it sounds like anything on there. I think they are going to rerelease some of those songs along with additional new content

[@hyperveridicalmusic]

I think the reason the birds aren't in the video is because the story in the song by itself is different from what's shown in the video. The song itself is about leaving Voldsoy to get back to Trench, and then the birds plays while he wakes up on the other side. But the video starts with him having already crossed the straight.

[@The_KlaVra]

I had this theory the other day, I tried posting it on Reddit but they didnt let me, I dont know why. SO. In the SAI Era, we learned Clancy is dead and we all took it as, the character Clancy is dead but what if, the album Clancy was dead. Maybe they already had an album in the works after Trench and it was gonna be Clancy, but then pandemic hit, and then SAI happened. So fast forward to now, Tyler saying Clancy is gonna be the most lore heavy but we have heard the album and its like HALF, so what if, all this time that Tyler was saying Clancy is dead its was referring to the album and now he saying that this is the more lore heavy album is because its a double album? Now with the ending of the MV of Paladin Strait, I feel more inclined to this theory. SO TECHNICALLY, he didnt lie, this is the most lore heavy album because its gonna be a double album that will be like an epic ending for the album, but the other set of songs needed more time to be fleshed out so they released part 1 as a full album and then next year we get the truly FULL album with all the tracks and all the ending. Side note: Can you imagine the last album of the story being called NICO. So we get like a clashing album cover? With the Pilots on one Side and Nico on the Other. Man that would be SICK. but just my opinion.

[@cyndizebra6119]

I’m hoping that if we get another album it centers on the Torchbearer- he’s the only character that hasn’t had an album based on them. Tyler talks about him having powers. He says there are 3 forms of Josh. He drew a triangle while saying these things . All of it strikes me as a metaphor for the Holy Trinity- God in 3 forms, The Father l, The Son and The Holy Spirit. So I ThNk we’ve seen him as the Holy Spirit in Navigating as the Josh who was helping Clancy, but was only in his mind ( or body, like the Holy Spirit. So the form of the Torchbearer, I believe is the son, Jesus. I found this definition of torchbearer- “A torchbearer is a person who leads the way with the light that he carries. Jesus is the light of the world and since He dwells in us, we are to carry Him wherever we go.” So I think we have yet to see the 3 rd form- The Father. Maybe we will see Josh and more of his powers come to help end the battle. Just a theory…

[@The_KlaVra]

@@cyndizebra6119 Both can be amazing theories. That could be sick, now that you say it, we had an album about nico Blurryface. So the Josh album or the Torchbearer album could be the last part of the puzzle. Him going up the tower to save Clancy and finishing the saga once and for all, saving the citizen of Dema in the process.

[@bennythejetmag9440]

The first part of the neon lights make out the word dema but the rest I don’t know

[@staciemoisa4884]

Nice breakdown. I'd like to think this is not the end. While it would make sense if it ends with a cliff hanger, as mental health struggles can be life-long, I'd like to think Tyler breaks the cycle. That would give hope to so many. If Tyler can break free, so can I. We all need a super hero to guide the way and save us. Josh Dunn and Tyler Joseph are that for so many, I'd like to see a happy ending.

[@Ameliafromhere]

Why did I get notifications 9 hours late?

[@Asorokk3]

I personally think that the multiple Clancys is a result of a production error. I think they wanted to make the Bandito army look bigger but only had so many actors so they just copy and pasted a couple times in the background, hoping people wouldn’t notice (unaware the clique always looks for hidden details in the background like these).

[@abivise7756]

Can you compare and contrast Routines in the Night with Fairly Local. I decided to look at them side by side and already found a bit. I'd like to see what you think.

[@keirabelle4077]

i think whatevers gonna happen on the 25th possibly will include the rebellions on the inside, the people from the overcompensate mv. In the digital remains there is artwork of dema burning, and i think that we might see the final moments soon.

[@ashleyluka]

The minute of birds is just to hide the last part of the song for first time listeners as a surprise. I am 36 - back when we only had physical CDs, some artists would hide songs like 5 minutes after the end of the last song. You’d never know it’s there unless you keep listening. I can think of Alanis Morissette as an example of someone who did this on her Jagged Little Pill album. The music video doesn’t need it because everyone has now heard the ending.

[@zhannagray]

[@ashleebevans4433]

I think the birds were for the MV release. When the MV was being premiered you tube put everyone in the countdown screen and it was him on the cliff with 1:30 countdown and it was only the birds and a few cords... I think it was just for the countdown.

[@nonanonymous2378]

[@nicholassgroi4610]

I think the minute of birds was so that the listening party hosts would have enough time to turn off the album and end the party without spoiling the end.

You didn’t mention Clancy up on the cliff seemingly doing the same motions as Josh in the fight. This seems like it could mean something.

Wouldn't it be something if Tyler/Clancy is no longer afraid. Josh ran in "the front door" to help defeat Nico. Then, back in the real world, days later, we see Ty/Clancy and Josh walking into their house, and in the tree is a vulture with yellow eyes watching, waiting, anticipating the insecurities to creep back in.

[@joshualaforme5481]

Hi , I hope you get a second to check this out in paladin strait mv at 3:12 found trash and I believe a vulture or possible Phoenix. In the middle where the sun looks like it's making an eye, beside tyler on mountain. Also, same mountain scene but at 3:41 think, lol..near here, on far right side in bright yellow looks like numbers 124. Finally, tyler appears to be pointing to this sun, and in last scene, outside the window is blue sky? But wasn't it dark with torches, lightning, and I'm wondering if he's implying they waited until just before dawn and now the sun's up when Nico has Clancy, Clancy also still has the rope on his hip? Anyways, just wanted to share and hope you find amazing discoveries! Thanks for all your efforts

[@joshualaforme5481]

After thinking on this for a night and reading, a poem called de ave phoenice , which is a subtle reference to christ and resurrection, the poem in English could apply so well, and actually kinda says east is up, I'm truly thinking at 3:12 in paladin strait mv, that it's trash's head, next to not a vulture of but a Phoenix with the waterfall being the tail. There's also other odd things in the tail and just all over this mountain scene

I love this content. But if i may add my opinions im a bit disappointed that theres no representation of him actually swimming the paladin strait. I expected maybe him teying to escape any him struggling and fighting the clashing waves. Some deep cinematography. The song is called Paladin Strait yet theres no showing of him eveb in water. Lol idk. Maybe im just reaching. Even still i love this song and video.

this is rpobably reaching, but m as to why there is 4 Clancys total, including Tyler. Three lights are lit, but the fourth one´s out. the three have their face uncovered whereas Tyler cover his face with a mask as in the light that is out. but im probably reaching :D

Tyler seized Clancy. It's Tyler. Clancy didn't have black hands. I created this world to feel some control. Destroy it if I want.... Nicole has no control over Tyler. It's like the Neverending Story.

In the thumbnail photo you can see a 2nd Clancy mask standing behind a girl. I this that could play with the lyrics from morph, “he goes by Nico, he told me I’m a copy” maybe there’s a second Clancy coming to help the 1st, or potentially the torchbearer? I think Morph could have some connection

Maybe 25 means 2025? 🤷‍♂️

I have a theory about the end this is not the end because its cycle (its album has 3 years gap and if break the cycle in half, it means next gap is 1,5 year 2025 is the continuation of the Clancy album and the paladin strait

[@iamfaithfreely]

we all know this is not the end and all of you are playing it safe not believing in the obvious

[@lyricnorth3227]

Someone gave the theory that this is a reoccurring lucid dream/nightmare for Tyler and Clancy is is “avatar” in this nightmare. The birds in Paladin straight signal morning approaching but he’s gotta stay asleep a little bit longer to get to Nico. There’s more to it and need to find this persons name to give credit for this theory but it makes so so much sense.

[@blossomalchemy]

I like this theory. It would make sense to the lyrics of “Routines In The Night” same with the music to it. In Heavy Dirty Soul when the car is driving you see him fall asleep and wake you multiple times.

[@blossomalchemy]

Also after the hiatus in the Jumpsuit MV at the start he says “We’ve been here the whole time. You were asleep. It’s time to wake up.” Which could be him talking to himself to wake up and write the rest of the story. 🤯

3:19 I can't see it either, but it looks like the word "erase"
