Mind is a Razorblade

Just so it's recorded for posterity: The Knife's "Heartbeats" is one of the best songs of this, or for that matter, any year. Let us gorge on all aspects of this epochal song.

I love the way this video captures in imagery the ecstasy of simple pleasures, like being a kid on an endless summer afternoon. The song is revelatory on such an intimate level and the video hits that note perfectly.

Also, please note how well the song translates from its synthy original:
Jose Gonzales' cover
Scala & Kalacny Brothers' Cover
A Mash-Up with Grizzly Bear's "Knife" - Highly Recommended
