Once of my favourite music videos by one of my favourite bands. Powerful imagery. The video was a collaboration Modest Mouse did with Heath Ledger, shortly before he passed away. From Wiki: During a boat trip with family and friends while on a visit to his native Australia in January 2007, actor Heath Ledger outlined a music video idea for the then unreleased song to frontman Isaac Brock and other band members. Ledger, who was opposing the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place off the coast of Australia each year, intended the video—which depicts whales poaching humans to make pet food-- to raise awareness on modern whaling practices. Furthermore, proceeds from iTunes purchases of the song, in its first month on iTunes, were donated to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, who actively intervene with whale fishing. RIP Heath Ledger.
