So Portugal the Man..

My mind has just been changed like 3 times. When I saw they were on the ACL lineup I was really excited because a lot of people told me they were good! So I listened to a few of their songs and LOVED them! However I wasn't really listening that closely I guess because when I decided to do this post on them I realized I should try to better understand their music. And wow. My favorite song, So American, is just a weird song. Which I guess fits perfectly with the band. I think it is a little tongue and cheek but it has this underlying depressing, harsh message that Americans are all crazy (which is true) and represent misguided power and greed. Powerful song. Weird music video. Would be SUCH a good live show because of their weird personality. Definitely going to their ACL fest show. But back to this music video.. it actually doesn't make any sense to me at all. I think I've watched it a good 5 times. So check it out and please help me understand!!

I feel like this music video has more of a story line.. this is one of my other favorites, the Sun!
