RAC - Let Go ft. Kele, MNDR

[@CeluiEtSeul]

This song gives me nostalgia vibes. A point in life where motivation was high

[@MrKylePopovich]

Its true, I had just graduated from film school, and got this notification from RAC on Soundcloud, and became and instant rotation in my liked playlists. Thanks for this timeless classic, RAC!

[@asher20237]

Same🙌

[@kevincampbell5785]

Last sentence is perfectly put.

[@loycdjankou3342]

Keep your head up my friend and keep it going 💪

[@the.chronic.ironic]

i’m with ya buddy. and the others on this reply thread. not just a time when motivation was high (and it was! graduated my masters program in 2014…) but also a time when the world wasn’t an absolute dumpster fire and people could have fun. people weren’t so SERIOUS all the time, looking for things to be offended by or upset about. the world wasn’t so fractured and divided. there was hope and there was fun. and you had to have actual talent to get a record deal. movies and music were original and fresh. people were creative. willing to experiment. again… just willing to have a bit of FUN. if i explain further, we’ll be here all day but i’m certain y’all know what i’m saying anyway. nostalgia depression is real. wish more people could just LET GOOOOO and jam tf out (see what i did there? 🤦🏻‍♀️ i really thought i did something) …. i’ll see myself out.

[@WeAreN1nja]

The actress and actor in the video speak volumes with their eyes and expressions, despite the fact that there's no actual dialogue. Neither of them utters a single word, but you know EXACTLY what each one is thinking at all times.

[@maddisoncooper8529]

WeAreN1nja I know right?!? You can tell at the end that he feels guilt for turning her in and that she still loves him despite what he did

[@itzcassiieex]

and he still loves her despite how sick she is!!

[@JohnnyJohn116]

MS.C that's true ❤️

[@fatuglybins1800]

and RAC is the silent observer.

[@slicklol]

It's absolute codependency.

[@francesluft1407]

I was so obsessed with this song and the bass line I listened to it everyday for like 2 years. One of my favorite songs. ❤️

[@darienhigh]

The bass line is ripped from the Clash's Train in Vain

Yes the base line is perfect

RAC is a musical genius, definitely an underrated talent. A great live act to see!!

[@victoriav2145]

Seriously! 9 years later and out of everyone I've seen at festivals and living in Chicago- but this one of my favorite shows to see

[@chillwavve]

just wanted to say that they are both ridiculously good looking

[@aj555541]

I totally agree!

[@drawingablank746]

Of course they are by certain standards held over most the globe. From other angles...less so. Here's to appreciating what people are, rather than what anyone may want them to be...

[@winstongainey1112]

@@drawingablank746 ‘This ugly person is actually pretty if you squint hard enough from a distance through another random obscure cultures foggy lens’ lol. No. Aesthetics and the facial recognition of symmetry is universal. Sorry bro.

[@drawingablank746]

@@winstongainey1112 Universal implies everyone holds the same aesthetic standards. That's clearly not the case considering not everyone is attracted to all the same faces.

[@winstongainey1112]

@@drawingablank746 Yes people can have an individual preference for a certain ‘look’ but that has nothing to do with ingrained visual recognition of facial symmetry which is 100% universal. All the ‘akshually guys this ugly thing is purdy amirite’ stuff is just silly and contrarian and there’s too much of that bullshit right now.

[@Aster_Risk]

Kele's vocals are the best part of this.

[@JamesMarshall-bc9nn]

@Aster_Risk - this is a factually incorrect statement.

[@elwinaahmad1572]

Kele's voice are sexy and tender, while MNDR bring the energy

[@mystfire]

Coming back for the memories... Nearly 3 years ago. Still such an amazing song

[@concreteeeEEE]

it is wonderful

[@equasian2702]

Same, it was a cool few years.

[@ohtrueyeahnah]

It's been 9 years. Hope you good!

[@Laughingwithtravii]

i know this is an older song, but its personally helped me. my husband is a recovering addict. society and family see addicts and recovering addicts as monsters, typically. this song really helped open my eyes to what i could understand, but simply wasnt, cause of conditioning really. it helped me see him in a different way, and i think that in turn has helped us, as a couple, grow stronger over the years. from the bottom of my heart i thank everyone involved in this, its truly amazing. i cry (in a good way) every time. thank you.

[@danepotmo2513]

This song should have been huge

[@kingjsolomon]

It was much before it’s time, hopefully it gets picked up by tik tok popularity haha

[@jupitartz]

Still can’t believe this song is 10 years old…. Literally been my favorite for a decade

[@kingjsolomon]

Same, it has huge symbology and memories for me.

[@Kill2switch121]

@3:10 he catches the knife with ease because he has been through this with her before and maybe he had to let go of the same addiction/issues at some point. I love how much they communicate so much with their eyes in this video.

[@_Peej]

Haven't heard this song in years then that bass line pops in my head out of nowhere. Hooked all over again.

[@DNGRous_]

I'm here for that bass guitar riff.

[@muhit9585]

Me too

[@jesse_cole]

*riff

[@kingjsolomon]

The background music Carrie’s the song so well. So atmospheric and visualizing.

[@darienhigh]

It's ripped from the Clash's Train in Vain

[@_bingo_97]

I'm obsessed with this video/song. I have the song on repeat, and I cannot stop watching the video. ❤

[@harkyo]

MNDR was great live at the old Brooklyn Bazaar on 25 Banker in Williamsburg.

[@mugsthebugs9058]

That bass riff though!

[@PedroVaz]

phenomenal

[@darienhigh]

It's ripped from the Clash's Train in Vain

[@WeAreN1nja]

The organic tossing/catching of the knife @ 3:07 kinda makes you wonder if he had also partaken in these acts at one point in time... She fixed him a plate and everything.

[@slicklol]

That wouldn't make sense. He called the cops on her, he would be arrested for accessory to murder.

[@erikrosenborg196]

I mean it's not a total stretch, he could be a person who understands her simply cause he used to be like her, but have moved on from it. That's why it hurts him so much to turn her in, because he knows the pain of it, but how necessary it is.

[@andreadesmier3629]

His reaction to it is 'C'mon, really?' but also 'Back to your old tricks, I see.'

[@AlbertoDsign]

@@erikrosenborg196 That's why it makes more sense that it talks about alcohol/drugs/whatever adiction. Because he used to get drunk (...) with her, but realized how he couldn't keep feeding her adiction.

[@hoyinny]

I always saw it as symbolic of her doing a dangerous/crazy thing and him managing it but also reminding her that it’s not cool. Kinda like your girl fucking with the steering wheel while you drive. It’s not okay but if you’re a competent driver you can recover. Still gonna be pissed though.

[@goldenglovled]

she cooked you a nice homemade meal! why can't guys just be happy?

[@jennifertiller6937]

Lauren lol ... right!

[@nitrishaaaa3237]

Wait till she gets out of jail and cook you.

[@wannab009]

great song, catchy as hell, and i love the subtle mannerisms of the characters in the video, their body language really brings to the story to life, and chick does the best insane eyes ever when she is sizing the chick up, and throughout the video actually

[@WeAreN1nja]

They convey so much solely through facial expressions in this video. Masterfully done.

[@richardremi]

I see everyone trying to find the meaning to this song, well for me and my friends, this was our college pregame anthem. Everytime we played this before going out, we let go of all our troubles, our anxieties, our fears and went all out on the drinking and partying. Brings back some really good memories.....

[@kennan10101]

Well that's a bit ironic. I'm super jealous that you listened to this with your friends, though. My friends are allergic to good music.

[@MrBlueSkyMrNight]

+Ike checkout my synth music list.

[@kevorobo]

Lol, the irony.

[@Saintphoenix86]

The song is about alcoholism so yeah i think you guys missed the point

[@palmiraarechiga1678]

The song and video are so underrated...

[@Unethcial_Energy]

why is no one mentioning the great catch he did with the knife?

[@ThiagoOliveira-wo2fl]

Juan valencia I think the video is reversed

[@elwinaahmad1572]

"should i take apart with this stuff?" The man telling so, with his eyes. Actually not the proper knife to get a best slice. I think its the best scene of moving your head...

[@tiimmaahh26]

Best bassline ever.

[@mcguigan54]

Bass line is from Train in Vain by the Clash

[@Rooster128]

mcguigan54 yeah thats why i love this track so much. TRAIN IN VAIN!

[@TheTrit0n]

[@neves773]

it's totally the clash

[@nicholasapodaca9886]

Not even close. Peace Sells has the best bassline ever. It was so good that MTV used it without paying Megadeth.

[@danielymbong1770]

The aesthetics of this video just pump me up, catchy positive beats coupled with that cold modern look in the interior design of their apartment and clothes so chic and contemporary

[@Roshec]

So glad Pandora introduced me to this song. Kele is the main reason I adore Bloc Party. I know this isn't Bloc Party, but I'm absolutely in love with Kele's voice in this song

[@superkill545]

I remember seeing this music video about 5 weeks ago. But that's all I could remember from it, no lyrics, no band names, no song title, just how the video went. I remembered it being a really good song though. I had obsessed over it for weeks trying to find it, and now that I finally have found it, I could not be happier, great song.

[@VGBNDGRL]

I wouldn’t have expected RAC having Kele and MNDR collaborate...very well produced

[@jerms9694]

Been trying for awhile to find this song again, remember hearing it back in 2013!

[@anniemossct]

Seemed like a weird video at first but after reading the lyrics and watching the video again, I found that it conveyed the message in the song perfectly. The girl is very very messed up in the head and everybody around them sees her as a monster but the guy doesn't and still hopes that she can let go of her 'desires'. He wants her to confide in him and let him help her but when she can't and gives in to her 'desires' he is forced to turn her in and hope that she can go back to normal. I think at the end of the video, she still remembers the good times they had and the freedom she once enjoyed.

[@MissyLKS8]

I picked up on the lyrics having a serious undertone, but I was freaked at the first sight of the video. After your comment, I understand it much better and how it's connected.

[@anniemossct]

the guy in this video is unbelievably beautiful

[@MakeableDESIGNS]

One of my favorite songs of all time!

[@nycwipeout]

MNDR is simply spectacular with her voice!!!

[@rasheedahmed355]

The song is about a man who deeply loves a woman who has addiction problems. Listen to the lyrics, Let Go of your troubles and addiction. Try to live in the moment, don't keep worrying about your past and your flaws because it will only cause you to relapse further. In this video, its alcohol addiction. At 1:35, they are in a malt shop or a diner. The man enjoys his milkshake, while the woman wishes it was alcoholic drink. She leaves and hunts down her addiction and is consumed by it, a metaphor represented by consuming human meat. Thats it folks. English major here Lol.

[@decaturdev7127]

+Rasheed Ahmed Nice catch. Also at 0:59 it's like he pulled out face mask because he just wants to go out for a night without drinking. But as you noted, she can't even make it through the night. Maybe she's in rehab at the end against her will.

[@Georgiakayy]

I'm pretty sure she just eats people.. Hence the mask, she probably bit someone before. And also when he says "it's eating you" she chomped at the camera. You can tell by the way she acts she's done it before and this was his last straw. The mask is like a hanabal lector thing..

[@decaturdev7127]

Georgia Kay If we're going to be literal, then note that the second verse of the song literally says, "just try to stay sober".

[@SilverGray33]

its a good song... motivate me to leave the past

[@ghostl337]

This song makes me so sad, but I can't stop listening to it. It reminds me of a girl I was dating, she had an addiction problem that caused issues in her life. She was staying at my place and she was so fun to be around and she always made me smile. Although she would hallucinate people and hear voices I helped her calm down, but one morning I came home and she was gone.... I was scared. She came home hours later. I could tell something was wrong, I think she went out to do drugs. And her mental state became very bad and she later became violent because of the voices and hallucinations. I had to call the police because she kept trying harm me. She got arrested and I haven't heard from her since. I miss her sometimes.

[@KBarraza]

damn that sounds so sad :( mental stability is serious.

[@adamd.4340]

Same situation here only it was my ex wife. She had mental illnesses and would hallucinate and become very violent. This song carries so much weight for me and speaks volumes to my situation. I see the pain in the male actors eyes and can relate heavily to his circumstance. "And they ask how I can love you, when all they see is this. But I see the things that you can't contain and what it does to you" says more than I ever could.

[@kelsydenham9167]
