Last Leaf
November 9th, 2010

We are excited to share with you the video for our song Last Leaf.  It is comprised entirely of photographs…15 still shots for every second of video.

Oh yes, and toast. Lots and lots of toast.

The result is a bit different than the last few videos we’ve made from this album, and we hope you like it.






If you should be the last autumn leaf hanging from the tree
I'll still be here waiting on the breeze to bring you down to me
And if it takes forever, forever it'll be
And if it takes forever, forever it'll be

And if you should be the last seed in spring to venture out a leaf
I'll still be here waiting on the rain to warm your heart for me
And if it takes forever, forever it'll be
And if it takes forever, forever it'll be

--Damian Kulash

Thank you, both!

I think the fellows of OKGo are amazing, in that they are real artists AND they are 'good guys' in the sense that--they are, in a gentle way, a force for good.

OK Go's "Last Leaf"

Thank you for sharing, John :).
This is the first of their videos where I liked the music equally to the vid.
Not that I didn't like the other songs, I did. But I liked this one more.

Am I the only one who waited for a toast of which was already a piece bitten off?

I've been trying to get my head around,
what the fuck is happening?
I'm trying to make some sense out of
what you're doing with my head.

It's like a skydive
or getting high
The kinda thing'll maybe kill you.
It's like I'm eye-to-eye
with a wild lion.
Oooohh,
I don't know what to tell you.

There's just this thing about you.

So maybe you can help me clear this up,
cause me myself I just can't tell.
Are you some kind of dark sorcerer
Am I under some kinda of spell?

'Cause I could go on for days,
just crazy about it, oh,
You're so respectable,
a little animal.

It's like a skydive
or getting high
The kinda thing'll maybe kill you.
It's like I'm eye-to-eye
with a wild lion.
Oooohh,
I don't know what to tell you.

There's just this thing about you,

So are you gonna tell me what comes next,
or am I just supposed to know?
Do I make my own decisions here,
or am I under your control?

'Cause I been like this for days,
just crazy about it, oh,
and it's startin' to get, you know,
a little uncomfortable,

It's like a skydive
or getting high
The kinda thing'll maybe kill you.
It's like I'm eye-to-eye
with a wild lion.
Oooohh,
I don't know what to tell you.

Do you think I'm out of line?
Do you think I'm out of line?
Well maybe it's fine, maybe it's alright it's like I'm eye-to-eye with a wild lion,
yeah I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know what to tell you.

There's just this thing about 'cha..

OK Go
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

OK Go is a Grammy Award–winning rock band originally from Chicago, Illinois, USA, now residing in Los Angeles, USA. The band is composed of Damian Kulash (lead vocals and guitar), Tim Nordwind (bass guitar and vocals), Dan Konopka (drums and percussion) and Andy Ross (guitar, keyboards and vocals), who joined them in 2005, replacing Andy Duncan.

(...)

Formation (1998–2002)

The band's lead singer, Damian Kulash, met bassist Tim Nordwind at Interlochen Arts Camp when they were 11. Kulash was in for graphic design, Nordwind for music. The band name comes from their art teacher, saying "OK...Go!" while they were drawing. They kept in touch after camp, often exchanging mixtapes which influenced each other's musical taste and their future sound. They met the band's former guitarist and keyboardist Andy Duncan in high school, and drummer Dan Konopka in college. OK Go was formed in 1998.
