Maybe it's just me...but I'm not seeing anything. What is it? All I see is one comment saying "Can I get a Woop, woop?" (paraphrased)

That link worked better for me.

I couldn't really hear the words since I was nak-ing a cranky boy, but the imagery at the end was beautiful. I'll have to check back to see if the seeming message of I hope I got from the visual matches the lyrics.

I love the Black Seeds. What a great video. I have been listening to their music for a while now...but I had never seen any of their videos. Great New Zealand Roots!!!

Gorgeous.

A little confused by the Adam and Eve-ish offering of the apple at the end, though. Otherwise, very touching. :

Wow, that was beautiful! I loved the apple at the end. I read it as, women are not the tools of evil but the nurturers of all that is good.

Okay, I didn't get the video - I mean, I understood that a baby was born and the mother began nursing it and that's why it was posted here, but I didn't get how it fit in with the rest of the video, so I looked up the lyrics. In part, they say (copied from a website - I think it is supposed to say "then" not "than"),
"Take it or leave it
(well) You make the choice for us
Than you silence people's voices
(and) now we experience,
cause and effect!
The victims of profit
(oh) we cannot forget"

I believe these were the words that were sung during the part of the video where the World Trade Towers were falling (at least, that's what it looked like to me). Now, this is completely off-topic, but what is that supposed to mean? That because of making profits (the "cause" - and what people in the Trade Towers did/represented), the "effect" was that they got killed in a horrible act of terrorism? The "victims of profit?" How about the victims of terrorism??? It seems to be insinuating that the people in the Trade Towers deserved to die just because somebody else didn't like their (or our, as a country) level of financial success... and that's just sick, IMO. Maybe I'm reading it wrong though, and somebody can explain what it really means.

I do like the baby part - during that part they are saying "we'll find the answer lies in love" or something like that... which, if I accurately interpreted the lyrics above, doesn't fit with the rest of the video... even if all mothers nursed their babies, we'd still have conflicts such as terrorism, war, poverty, etc.

I didn't interpret the part with the falling buildings as being specific to 9/11. I thought the whole first part of the video was how depressing the world is and how the problems are so overwhelming sometimes. I don't think they were saying that nursing babies will fix the world's problems. I think they were saying that there is hope in love, and a mother's love is about the best example of love there is!

It's like when you're thinking about bringing a child into this world.... You've got to have hope.

That's a much more positive message - I hope that's what it means. I'll buy that - there were just two buildings that looked just like the Trade Towers, so I guess that's what made me think that. thanks for sharing your interpretation; I like it much better than my own!

I loved that! I agree with melissakc's interpretation.
