The video/concept reminds me a tad of that opening of Up.  I tried to find a YT vid with English subs but failed.  Only web lyrics I found were very broken English.  So I copied the lyric subs from Netflix.  I can't vouch for their total translation accuracy but they get the point across.  (the concert+video skits film "Mayday Life" is on Netflix, this is the closing song).  I think I like this Taiwan band, apparently been around many years (early 90's?) so they're now all mid to late 40's, still performing/touring. Sorta garage/rock/pop ballad mixture genres.


Edit: those lyrics are long, added a spoiler tag.

I grew up on this song, my grandpa (God rest his soul) used to play it all the time. Still amazing.

Might be the single best track Daft Punk ever made, and not just because it's a tribute to one of the true legends & pioneers of electronica.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I feel like in this newest incarnation of the band, Gira does feel like he's in the "Jim Morrison" position a fair bit - he seems like the weakest aspect of a lot of his tracks, and yet the music is undoubtedly his vision too. It's a bit of an "unfortunate compromise" perhaps (not a terrible one by any means), but I do find that instrumentally few acts out there pack the punch and pick the kind of momentum Swans do, and with as much colour and texture as they do either.
