RAC - Tear You Down ft. Alex Ebert

[@Showmaann]

lll totally see RAC acting in a movie. He has quite a chill face.

[@exfiling]

I remember little 7-8 year old me, got to take a day off school and come with my mom who was working on this, filmed in one of the buildings near the omni, or the omni in rva (for the first part) i just remember seeing cameras and stuff but i saw this on my recommended and had straight up flashbacks, thanks youtube

[@Fredsusername]

That ending. That Song. RAC just a gem.

[@aggriasoaks1093]

I did NOT see that ending coming, creative video twist.

[@ryancraig9352]

I want a part two.

[@johanavargas4155]

I super LOVE videos like this! It's as if the song is supporting the story unfolded by the video, not the other way around. Also, I was not expecting the plot twist at the end, but I'm guessing that's why I love it so much. Great job, RAC! Along with Let Go ft. Kele, MNDR, this video is definitely in my top favorites! Love it!

[@gaboper]

I thought you'll never make this a single! Love the song and now, the music video. Keep it up, RAC! Still hoping to see you play live.

[@EricBurbeck]

***** I was fortunate enough to see him live at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor - it was such a fun show!!

[@gaboper]

Eric Burbeck I bet it is! Lucky you! If he happens to post shows around this side of the world, I will go in a heartbeat.

[@rustymcgee5886]

Alex Ebert sounds great! Cant wait for the next Magnetic zeros album.

[@lornemalvo201]

This lot are a cut above. Best wishes to tbem for a successful career.

[@saralarner6507]

This is the most compact, elegant storytelling I have ever seen on film. I don't even know how to respond to it. ... fuck.

[@vorthosnick]

Sara Larner It's glorious.

[@vorthosnick]

Sara Larner The instruments. Each and every fucking sound.

[@benzewski]

These people (RAC) need more attention

[@rodrigofreitas103]

this music deserve alot of views!! i'm addicted to this

[@itzcassiieex]

What a good find.....just watched this video and Let Go earlier....I am obsessed with the twisted story lines, they get me going better than most movies...

[@NoirSimp]

This song makes me sad and happy at the same time

[@vorthosnick]

Sweet Christ, RAC's videos are EVERYTHING!

[@thefewchosen]

Rac ... wow that was beautiful and sad. You are amazing!

[@picnicking5884]

This is such an excellent song, with such a clever video to go with it. I wish more people watched it so they could appreciate the effort that's gone into it. KEEP MAKING MUSIC RAC!

[@helenablackcat]

MANY MANY CONGRATULATIONS on your Grammy award, André!!!! :D :D PORTUGUESE musicians rule the world!!!!! :D :D

[@crytothemoonUK]

Been waiting so long for a new RAC song

[@PedroVaz]

Still awesome in 2023

[@shane220]

Must be a good solid 6 years ago I heard a couple of beats of this tune on a program called Hawaii five-0. Let’s say it took me more then several times rewinding the episode to get to here! 6 years later and it’s played on a regular

[@shannonlong5970]

Yea. That’s where I heard it. Just a few beats on Hawaii 5 0. I tracked it down. Now I’m hooked.

[@elizabethwilson3555]

THIS REMINDS ME OF MIDSOMMAR I SWEAR Y'ALL CHECK THE MOVIE OUT

[@gabebernal2873]

Been a fan since the beginning! Glad you are getting the recognition you deserve

[@물리치료사조은영]

RAC 노래 통통 튀는게 너무 좋다

[@yzinfinity6927]

I was looking for remixes by Filous because I like their work and I found this. I love the original much more than the remix, to be honest. Now its one of my favourite songs.

[@diegorodriguesfisio]

who is this guy? he is soo beautiful... lol...

[@kyledavis5646]

its RAC..

[@krzyzoms]

This is such a good song

[@Glosoli4]

That man is gorgeous wow.

[@shelbnessaproduction]

finally a music video!! been loving this song for a long time now

[@akshaykt4196]

Same here.High Five :)

[@tylermunden6642]

Ok. I bought this RAC album on iTunes. This is one of the better songs and I've listened to it 50 times or more. I just watched the video and it is confusing AF. But it does seem to contain a lot of consistent symbolism, so it's probably worth watching over and over. I love art that is enjoyable while also being challenging. "Let our love tear you down"

[@davidlloyd2225]

1:40 top tune❤️🇬🇧💯 1:51

[@lukeorridge3988]

Who's here for Hawaii Five-0 nostalgia and Lou Grover joining the team? 😁

Awesome music video!

[@jkraft2652]

Lay in the middle I'll be in the basement Time the rhythm Racing on the gold card Hey, skinny lips Sticking through the eye Of poor little thinkers Made in the sun I'm bleeding from the wounds From cutting to the chase From beating round the bush Then burns when we embrace And braces for the teeth That long for what's beneath The skin that hides the fruit From time, from the truth LET IT IN Let our love tear you down AND BEGIN To be found Lets it to the silence Of the rhythm of my bones decay I'm still hiding from my mother In the fatherland of manly faith Woke up drunk on the job My head was smoking from the US of A Now I'm tearing down the drapes Of complementary consequence LET IT IN Let our love tear you down AND BEGIN To be found To be found LET IT IN Let our love tear…

[@stanz7193]

Underrated !!!!!!

[@TheMotleyStewReal]

Never a dull video or song from you, RAC. :)

[@joburgbrie9713]

Swear RAC is always made the weirdest but good video

[@SILVER77274]

Weird but good? I suggest you go check out Jack Stauber :)

[@brenodamatta4979]

Great song, Great art direction

[@sycamoreshade8109]

I know there's a lot of RAC Fans out there that will probaby disagree, but he's too talented NOT to Team up w/ Alex Ebert for a Whole Album. I think this is BY FAR his best work.. Everything Ebert makes is GOLD, Alex & RAC would be something special, potentially their best work EVER.. My heads exploding just envisioning this!

[@williamhansen5762]

JB BLUEBIRD here broadcasting from the 10 G BUNKER I LOVE RAC

[@NataliaPerez-kw5uf]

Does anyone have the right lyrics, I've looked everywhere online, and the lyrics are always different from the song.

[@Alexeiesflores]

Yes they are different, this song even starts like "Roaming in the middle" Whilst the online lyrics say "Lay in the middle".....

[@mattydraws]

Is milk illegal?

[@JoshLStuff]

mattydrawsYT Yep. Looks like it is.

[@evanhboucher]

+mattydrawsYT I think it's supposed to be a Jim Jones reference.

[@johnnyconnors9991]

+evanhboucher ?

[@evanhboucher]

No, but I think it's about evoking the famous flavor-aid suicide in Jonestown so the viewer may infer that it is laced with poison.

[@minktronics]

+mattydrawsYT Pause at 1:45. I think there's something more than milk here..

[@MinhNguyen-ni2tj]

patiently waiting for someone to call this illuminati

[@L0LkillaL0L]

To be honest, I thought it was symbolism of illuminati...

[@michaelwarren8707]

Minh Nguyen Well, I would see the Illuminati as a more organized bunch of people than this pagan-like, heroin shooting cultist group. (Pause at 1:45)

[@kyrosgryphon599]

Minh Nguyen jesus christ this is such the Illuminati!!

[@bryanjensen2614]

Minh Nguyen Did someone call for the Illuminati?

[@Juanita_banana]

Ow shit!!

[@zacharabidy]

so he poisoned the cops at the end? looks like he is stepping over bodies with big steps.

[@KaiCheetah]

anyone has saw the remix of this song? soundcloud.com/filous/rac-tear-you-down-ft-alex-ebert-filous-remix-1

[@wyntrr_end]

The song is pretty awesome, but am I the only one who doesn't get the video at all?

[@katherinestryker3425]

It's about an undercover police officer (RAC) who is spying on a cult-ish group. While spying on them, he falls in love with a girl in the cult, but gets them arrested anyway. At the end, he wants to go back to the cult and the girl.

[@wyntrr_end]

Oh, thanks! I got that he sold them out (because of the handshake) but I didn't really get what else was going on before. Makes so much more sense now!

[@michaelwarren8707]

Wyntrr_End Literally, the video portrays an undercover cop ratting out a cult style group of people. However, in my opinion the video is a symbol for the split nature of humanity - one that leans towards order and control, the other towards chaos and freedom in such a sense. The flashback at the end and the appearance of RAC still having the tattoo on his wrist is a symbol for a bias towards the side of humanity that favors chaos and freedom. It's a nice video, and a nice song. I like it. Very thought provoking.

[@iffy19]

+Ana Genes Maybe they're all cults? But your groups theory works.

[@jstolzie808]

I wrote the storyline, so I'll give you the full run down. Katherine is right, he went undercover as a cop, but when he was undercover, the cult (RAC) turned him to their ideals. In this case the cult's ideals were to rise into the next life with your loved ones. The only thing was, the cult members weren't his loved ones. In the end of the video he gives a toast, and all of his cops friends drink to his success. WHAT YOU DON'T SEE is that he actually poisoned the keg that everyone is drinking from. As he walks away with the tattoo on his wrist, he's stepping over people who have been poisoned, unfortunately, due to all of the anti-cop drama that was going on at the time, we couldn't show the shot of the cops dropping, so the viewer is missing a crucial point in the story.

[@thespaceflower]

Is Edward Sharpe around?
