PHANTOGRAM - Running From The Cops

The video takes place on a boring street corner in interior Brooklyn. A man walks and as he does, the color disappears from the frame. Next a hipster wearing light blue (cyan) walks out. He is our protagonist, and his shirt that says PHANTOGRAM is the only color we see. He notices a dog on the corner and he starts whistling at it. At that moment, three people with wearing medical masks come flying by, running like it's the end of the world. The hipster freaks out, and decides to rescue the little dog and take off running too. Next a sexy police woman comes into frame and gives chase to the crowd. The hipster wearing the PHANTOGRAM shirt is scared for his life. As we watch
we think, "Oh I get it, the song is called 'Running From The Cops'", but there is only one cop, not plural cops. Well, here in brooklyn, cops = pigs. So the next character to come
out is a freak with a pig nose, dressed in all pink, carrying a bottle of swine flu. He looks angry and like he wants to raise hell. This explains why the people in the beginning were wearing medical masks, as he's spraying the swine flu everywhere. Even the cop is running from because swine flu kills 'pigs'. His pink outfit is the only other color featured prominently in the video. His pink (magenta) and the hipster's blue(cyan) represent the two colors needed to make a PHANTOGRAM (like 3D images), so it has
a tie in to the band name as well. As he chases the crowd, he wipes the frame, and the color returns to the image. All of the chaos has disappeared and it is once again a
boring Brooklyn street corner. Those 'dreams they never come true'. ---------- Naje Lataillade [Video Director | www.thenaje.com]

so much love for these guys. I cant stop spinning eyelid movies. one banger after another.

[@crystledean8198]

This one time I smoked some chronic Wax cannabis and literally my eye balls were spinning like googly-like. You know as if they were trying to relax from everything that's going on. So be careful out there in the UK, it's ed banger music, right?

[@thriceaether353]

literally

[@kimberlykatz9048]

LET'S GIVE SOME LOVE IN 2023!!! I saw Phantogram at 9:30 club in D.C. 2013. LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

[@joshneill6057]

[@marioescobedo2863]

I cannot stop listening! I love Phantogram! ❤

[@neilsteadman6666]

Absolutely awesome song, can't stop playing it!! Also, if she was chasing me id be running towards her ❤

[@YourPoetryMom]

This is one of the best new bands I've heard in years....this is some dope shiznit.

[@Government389]

Radio stations need to play this group on the radio. It is sad no one knows this talented group. RADIO STATIONS PLAY THEM! This group is awesome. They are on a small record label with no notariety. This group needs support. AWESOME GROUP. They have another song called "When I'm Small" which is just as awesome or even better this this song. GREAT BAND. KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT MUSIC!!! :)

[@Evandiego16]

That's one cop I would not be running from :)

[@spaciousentropy]

I LOVE these guys, very creative, danceable music!!

[@TrippyTran]

Came here because Phantogram hasn't released anything new in a couple years but hey, this song still is gram yo

[@chrisgewirtz5875]

They're releasing a new album soon. That's why I'm here, anyway.

[@melrosejoe]

[@jenniferprince2674]

Still playing the shit out of this in late 2019

[@tuchesuavae]

The awesome thing is this vid prob only too k like 2 mins to film but since they slowed it down' it made it song length. I don't know why that's so awesome to me.

[@twisted1800]

Simple video, awesome outcome

[@gabbyeli1]

I loved Sarah's halloween custome, LOL

[@mmiski]

[@PamMark127]

Love this band! The beginning drum beat sounds like a sampling of the drumming from Bjork's, Nattura, with Thom Yorke.

[@clowitdaflo]

this is amazing.

[@ahmetkeskinoglu_]

My dreams will never come true And if they ever ever do There's never you I want to implode I want it to end And all those old feelings are coming back again My dreams are haunting my soul And when I'm driving down the road I'm not in control I want to let go I want to shake hands With the person that's Responsible for this master plan I know I will I know I can My dreams will never come true And if they ever ever do It's never you

[@MrultraK1]

Maybe it's just me, but i Laughed HARD nearly the entire video! If you have ever "done and seen things" in life, i think you'll understand. Hilarious and awesome at the same damn time. PHANTOGRAMS!!!!...Keep Bangin! ; )

[@kellinepickett4979]

Am I the only person who notices that someone might have forgotten their "support gear" before putting on those pink pants? hahaha, well so what if I am.

[@SkinnyCaramelLatte]

Oh, I just saw that..haha

[@BPoweredLove]

Those pink pants IS his support gear. It's all he needs. :-)

[@DJXistance]

i wish i didnt read this comment now i cant unsee it -.-

[@ladymcbox780]

Kelline Pickett it's literally all I can see.

[@sandrodiclemente2305]

well you can't show your underwear on tight fitting pants, can you now. women, don't wear a thong when they wear tight pants, then again they don't have a stick and berries, only a camel toe to hide., LOL

[@bongoluke]

better than some movies i watched^^

[@chadbrockman4791]

Musical geniuses!

[@zintrigue]

I love this song. I think the KEXP live version sounds even better than the album version. Alas, this video reminds me of the official Pixies video for Velouria. I never could stand that video, it seemed like the director phoned it in.

[@Matt_Fender]

Hahaha excellent!

[@olordelmetro]

That's it. I'm dressing as the guy in pink pans for Halloween

[@Richard_Cranium]

Damn its a meme of 2020 .
