New Video: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Skeletons

Quoted from BUST "With the release of It's Blitz in 2009, the New York City trio presented fans with something a bit different from their previous guitar-driven garage sound; an album full of synth, glitter, and sweaty dance-all-night tracks.

In the video for "Skeletons", we see a somewhat softer, slightly spooky side of the band: ghostly images of cemeteries, monochromatic visuals, and Victorian-era meets Elvira garb. Karen O explains, "the Yeah Yeah Yeahs wrote this song in a barn in Massachusetts in December '07 during a snow storm. It has a very wintry feeling to it. It's atmospheric, melancholy, and unlike any song we've ever written before."



SKELETONS LYRICS
Love my name
Love left dry
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me

Soon comes rain
Dry your eyes
Frost or flame
Skeleton me
Fall asleep
Spin the sky
Skeleton me
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Love, don't cry
Skeleton me
Skeleton me
Skeleton

Personally, I think the Skeletons video is visually similar to the 2003 movie The Saddest Music in the World. Both very beautiful...
