This too shall pass: il nuovo videoclip degli Ok Go.

I più nerd della rete sicuramente ricorderanno il mitico video giapponese "The incredibile machines", ovvero "Pitagora Soichi", pronuncia nipponica del programma tv "Pitagora Switch", dedicato ai bambini e basato sulla scienza.
L'estro jap dell'inventare di tutto la faceva da padrone, con palline che tramite marchingegni assurdi si muovevano in un percorso studiato ad hoc. Il video è diventato talmente popolare negli anni da vantare centinaia di imitazioni, nessuna ovviamente al pari di "Pitagora".
Ma da Chigago arrivano gli Ok Go, gruppo indie rock, diventati famosi sopratutto per il loro videoclip assolutamente geniali, talmente particolari che per fama superano quasi la band stessa. Molti ricorderanno Here It Goes Again, che ha anche vinto il Youtube Music Award 2006 nella sezione "most creative".

Arrivano loro, e superano di gran lunga i giapponesi. Questo è l'ultimo singolo (con video e testo), uscito proprio in questi giorni: "This too shall pass".

You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down
And you can't keep draggin' that dead weight around
If there ain't all that much to lug around
Better run like hell when you hit the ground

When the morning comes
When the morning comes

You can't stop these kids from dancin'
Why would you want to?
Especially when yor already gettin' yours
'Cause if your mind don't move and your knees don't bend
Well don't go blamin' the kids again.

When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes
When the morning comes

Let it go, this too shall pass
Let it go, this too shall pass

Let it go, this too shall pass
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

Let it go, this too shall pass
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

Hey!

Let it go, this too shall pass
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

When the morning comes
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(You can't keep lettin' it get you down)

When the morning comes
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

When the morning comes
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(You can't keep lettin' it get you down)

When the morning comes
(You know you can't keep lettin' it get you down)
(No, you can't keep lettin' it get you down)

When the morning comes
