LCD Soundsystem - "Someone Great" -
Directed by Doug Aitken
The best video I've seen in maybe my whole life, you know its good when you wish to death you made it. Is it the end of a relationship? Did she die?? Life is beautiful, this song makes me want to go out and roam the streets of NYC and stop by the Natural History Museum on a date with a girl I love. The emotion and beauty in this video are overwhelmingly heart wrenching and inspiring, only to be let down by life when you know your life can never be this beautiful, unless.....
Director Doug Aitken: Heres a bit of info on him. I need to see all of this guys stuff NOW.
Quick Bio Excerpts From WIKI
In the winter of 2007, Aitken's Sleepwalkers was presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The project includes the actors Donald Sutherland and Tilda Swinton, musicians Seu Jorge and Cat Power, and actor/street drummer Ryan Donowho. Five interlocking vignettes shown through EIGHT PROJECTIONS were displayed upon the exterior walls of the museum so as to be visible from the street.
In 2008, Aitken produced another large scale outdoor film installation, titled "Migration". The work features wild animals of North America curiously inhabiting a human realm - neat, empty hotel rooms.

In an interview on his website about "SLEEPWALKERS,"
Doug Aitken reveals he wanted to have his show outside, for the public. that the walls in the museum almost frame the work and tell you what to look at. He wanted to have the images be part of the architecture, part of the city, part of the public. He shows it outside, making the common passerby look and see, not go inside the museum expecting to see art, but to just stumble upon it.
