超狂 MV | OK Go - "Upside Down & Inside Out"

Feb 15, 2022

As reminded by the Facebook review, around this time six years ago, one of my favorite bands, OK GO, released this awesome MV

This is a MV sponsored by S7 Airlines Siberia Airlines . The principle is to create a brief state of weightlessness by parabolic flight. They also invited two Russian gymnasts to play flight attendants. Before the actual shooting, everyone spent two Zhou went to get used to the parabolic flight (probably vomited a lot), one of the lyrics of the original song like an airplane going down was also changed because he was shooting the MV on the plane

Not much nonsense, let's take a look at this god MV first

My thoughts after watching it:

Humans can no longer stop ok go!!!
The uncles are still very flexible, I hope they can keep their youthful vitality forever and shoot to the age of 80!!!
It should be super hard to get used to and nauseous in the cabin at first, I feel like I'm going to be airsick in front of the screen

one behind the scenes

Take 2, Take 5 super disaster. It's so hard to beat the beat while doing body movements in a weightless state, and I've been bumping into my teammates all the time. I was really moved to see the behind-the-scenes footage. The whole crew collapsed and worked hard (and it was cold), and still insisted on making the MV well and full... After all, this MV is not like other MVs. After many times, there will always be success. One time, flying is very expensive, they have the pressure of the number of times, which means that even if they can fly infinitely, they will collapse first.

Tim: I'm playing with gravity!! (It's annoying to keep throwing things XD)

This video introduces the principle of parabolic flight. As a person who is afraid of even riding a pirate ship, I can't imagine what it feels like to be staggered with 0g and 2g in the cabin....
In the behind-the-scenes footage, it was mentioned that the lead singer Damian fainted, probably after the fourth take, everyone's body and heart were about to collapse...

Super touching behind-the-scenes footage

My eyes were wet when I saw this BTS, especially after 5:37, the group decided to fly for the last time, there was a heroic feeling of making a movie, and every word that Tim and Andy said at the end were very touching, "who knows what okgo's gonna do next ten years?" It's full of onions, and everyone's happiness is fully revealed. I can feel that the team has a very good atmosphere, very serious and very happy. It really means that the relationship should be good enough and the ambition should be consistent enough. How can we do so many things that kill ourselves together?

After watching the MV and reading the lyrics again, I highly doubt that the lyrics are written in conjunction with the MV script, as if every sentence is about the situation of the MV shooting

"Upside Down & Inside Out"

 Upside down and inside out
and you can feel it.
Upside down and inside out
and you can feel it, feel it.
Don't know where your eyes are
but they're not doin' what you said.
Don't know where your mind is baby
but you're better off without it.

Inside down and upside out
and you can feel it.
Don't stop.
Can't stop.
It's like an airplane goin' down.
I wish I had said the things you thought that I had said.
Gravity's just a habit that you're really sure you can't break.

So when you met the new you,
Were you scared?
Were you cold?
Were you kind?
Yeah when you met the new you,
did someone die inside?

Don't stop.
Can't stop.
It's like a freight train.
Don't stop.
Can't stop.
It's like an airplane goin' down.
Don't know where your eyes are
but they're not doin' what you said.
Don't know where your mind is baby
but you're better off without it.

Looks like it's time to decide.
Are you here?
Are you now?
Is this it?
All of those selves that you tried;
wasn't one of 'em good enough?

'cause you're upside down and inside out
and you can feel it.
Inside down and upside out
and you can feel it, feel it.
Don't stop.
Can't stop.
It's like a freight train.
Don't stop.
Can't stop
until you feel it goin' down.
I wish I had said the things you thought that I had said.
Gravity's just a habit that you're really sure you can't break.

Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Don't stop
Can't stop
Until you feel it goin' down
Upside down and inside out
And you can feel it
Don't stop
Can't stop
Until you feel it goin' down

When I went to Russia in 2018, I finally took the legendary Siberia Airlines and felt that the seats were quite crowded XD
