On my facebook! After watching this video you feel the words in a whole different way. Makes your spin shiver when you think about the two friends splitting ways, corporate and free then ending so far apart, twisted by the machine that is C

I saw the commercial for this video just after it came out. I gotta say, I'm a fan of the Flobots. This song is definitely enhanced by the video imagery and the overall animation technique is very well done. The message can be interpreted several different ways (and on YouTube, it's really been interpreted in a lot of various ways).

I kind of equate the song with humanity's inherent ability to create their own future for ourselves. That future can go one way or another, can dissolve our innocence in favor of the system or can create a world worth living in. Sometimes we just have to remind ourselves where we came from to get the answer to where we're going to.

If you like "Handlebars", there are several other music videos on YouTube (albeit most are fan created) with pretty interesting messages as well. Here's what I have faved:

1.) Mayday
2.) We Are Winning
3.) Stand Up

Woah, both are pretty deep but I think the first one you posted conveyed the idea better. I also really like We Are Winning.
