Director's Artist Statement:
“The shocking imagery in this video acts as a reflection of the past, to show us a mirror image of our present day, to highlight mankind's long, harrowing history of odious violence and senseless destruction and how we clearly haven't learned anything from all the pointless and atrocious acts of warfare, invasion and genocide that have been committed and experienced over the years. It feels like we are currently living in a new era of nuclear uncertainty, a modern day cold war, the anxiety and tensions surrounding global superpowers and their destructive capabilities is on the edge of everyone’s minds. This video is an anti-war and anti-bomb statement that asks the question - How much death, grief, fear and chaos will it take for us to finally wake up and start focusing on the bigger picture, when will the governments of the world give up their precious nuclear weapons and their tedious war games and actually attempt to repair the catastrophic damage that’s been inflicted on us and the planet? We need real love, support and understanding for one another now more than ever before. Time is running out for the human race and maybe we’re already past the point of no return, but we must keep on relentlessly fighting for a positive change and a brighter future as a species until the day that they finally decide to Drop The Bomb….”

[@SubToJinx]

Why?...why?....why??? A genius that gave us incredible art throughout his whole career has to die at 49. While so many evil fuckers live far beyond average life expectancy. No modern artist has impacted my life as much as MF DOOM. RIP to the greatest!

Amazing video, a great addition to the already fantastic song. The fact its 50s clips and of cartoons and children, really give it some offputting vibes. I’m surprised there aren’t more comments on that in particular. Brilliant that the lyrics match the time period of the clips and also today, it’s definitely got distance enough to look back and act as a harsh reminder. It took me a second to see that the black behind the first flag was smoke and not trees, poor Smokey’s got a lot of work to do. This video is an amazing fit overall, the mixing of the clips remind me of the theories of televising the gulf war, so people watched it like it was entertainment. The editing is great, definitely has just enough of each clip and moves on very smoothly, while matching the pace of the song.

[@oliviaholdway6379]

Well done Denholm. You have made a video that really matches the song and I LOVE the old style with black and white and old videos. Also, I love that you has used a lot of cartoon clips and a clip of Martin Luther King ( one of my idols.) This is a representation that (with the images of war) that we should not look back; only look to the future and never go back to those times and protect our world.

it is funny that there are some Gorillaz member in YOTA

[@phayzzed2974]

I. Powerteqq Yeah I totally know that I guess I should have been more expressive of that in my comment. But as far as I know Damon is not involved and yet the instrumentals evoke a very heavy Damon presence. I suspect a producer involved in both bands
