I loved the music as well, very melancholy.

Thanks, I'll check Emperor out, heard of them but haven't listened to them.

Oh btw, Opeth's new album leaked, melancholy sunshine and lollipops for all!

In reply to this comment by Zonbie:
hey there,
I saw your Opeth Video Post (Porcelain Heart) Really nice find, and good quality video too Hope it sifts, I don't know if you like Emperor but I have "Empty" by Emperor in my PQueue it just needs 3 more votes

Take care

Yes yes I know it's not really obscure and it's appeared everywhere but frankly very few know that it's Gershon Kingsley original and think it's created by the stupid frog or Gigi Da Gistino.

See Gershon Kingsley himself perform Popcorn on a piano in 2007. A great version as well which is far more melancholy.

G, the dark and trippy channel-ideas fall into my Dreamtrip 2.0 playlist
http://www.videosift.com/playlists/Eklek/Dreamtrip-20
An indie film channel could complement the cinema channel, but indie film is also cinema I think.

(last edit on July 4 2008)
These channels I think are missing on Videosift:
-*homme (to complement femme/sexuality/gay)
-"animals behaving like humans" (and vice versa;) ) channel
-usa, japan(orama), france, spain, italy, germany, russia, china, india, mexico etc. (to complement british/canada)
-*africa, europe, *latin (to complement asia, downunder)
-aquatic
-90s, 00s (to complement vintage/80s/future)
-celebrity/gossip/tabloid/sensational (to complement lies)
-*lectures/presentations/talks
-*energy, agriculture, *health, *education, law
-*dance, fashion, theatre, comics, architecture, design (to complement art/cinema/(live)music/shortfilms/obscure)
-*electronic(a) (for electronic music, to complement rocknroll/wildwestshow/jazzblues/bravo)
-crime, romance (to complement mystery/comedy/horror/wildwestshow/grindhouse)
-mash-up, fan videos (to complement meme)
-*melancholy/drama (to supplement happy/dark/fear)
-pranks (to complement standup/parody)

*=the ones I think are most needed

79 upvotes and only 5 comments, and one of those came from a computer program. What does that tell me? That images sometimes move us so powerfully that words fail? I know that's how I feel.

I cannot describe the emotion I feel when I see this. I could throw out words like beauty, melancholy, etc., but to do that would only begin to describe the tip of the iceberg, so I will cease and desist.

I'm glad that so many of you appreciate this. It makes me feel that as divergent as our opinions about the world, people, or politics may be here at the Sift, there is still something that we all have in common, tying us together. Don't ask me to name it, because I don't think a name for it truly exists. (I don't care for the term 'spiritus mundi'. Nothing slouches towards Bethlehem, IMHO.)

So what am I saying? I'm glad that so many of us are at least on the same page. I guess.

hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahaah
he's a genius.

i think bill bailey got pretty close:

"We have strong prevailing south westerly winds. 52% of our days are overcast so as a nation we're infused with a wistful melancholy, but we remain a relentlessly chipper population. Prone to mild eccentricity, binge drinking and casual violence. Breakfast is served 7-9."

yeah you can make the best of it, and it's not a warzone. i just didn't understand your point. thanks

In reply to this comment by gorilla_squad:
i was addressing you. bill bryson is utterly mawkish about britain and most of what he said in the vid is bollocks, but then so is your rant.

I've been living in london on a modest wage for years and have a great time, so I thought I'd add some balance to bryson's indulgence and your bitterness.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
errrr.... not sure who you are addressing with that comment

i left england, and i am not so sentimental about it.

if you were agreeing with me, then yeah! haha

In reply to this comment by gorilla_squad:
jesus, turn down the sentimentality. england's not all that.

In reply to this comment by MINK:
as another englishman who left that ridiculous island... i can say this is bollocks.
you need a LOT of money to like the UK...

...maybe the kind of money you would get if you wrote a cozy book about how great the UK is.

ok so people DO apologise if you hit them carelessly in a crowded place, big woop.
