NOTE: The former band actually got their name from the latter, as The Avalanches' " Ski Surfin''" album was known to be their favorite album.

1. The Avalanches are an electronic music collective from Melbourne, Australia. They are well known for their use of eclectic sampling, having created their debut album, Since I Left You (2000), entirely out of over 3,500 samples of obscure records, movies, and television shows. This is famously demonstrated on their hit single "Frontier Psychiatrist".

Before this, they were a hip-hop group with the single album Rock City and the EPy El Producto. Currently, The Avalanches are appearing at outdoor festival events with a DJ set, and are reportedly working on new material.

2. The Avalanches was an instrumental surf rock studio group, active in the 1960s, which included Billy Strange, Tommy Tedesco, David Gates (later of Bread) and Hal Blaine. In 1963 they recorded an LP Ski Surfin', which was re-released in 2007.

I feel like this video represents the final words between two friends. They are both trapped in the mine and the guy with the mustache, Arthur, is dying. (I'm pretty sure thats what the guy said his name was at the end.) His friend is talking him through it, trying to calm him down. Arthur talks about his life-long dream to be a dancer, and his friend tells him to imagine getting out of this place to live that dream. So they imagine it together as he passes. He imagines dancing with (possibly) the woman of his dreams and being applauded by the judges. The reason why I think his friend isn't dancing along is because he's having a hard time accepting Arthur's death. He just stays by his friend's side, holding a tambourine. When he stands and begins to play, I think it represents his friends love and acceptance.

That's what I got from it at least, and I'm sure I'm not the first one. Beautiful music video either way :-)

This video gets to me pretty hard, as I spent the first half of my life being, basically, that miner who stayed behind. I like to think I'm more like the other one nowadays, but I'll always be haunted by the opportunities not taken, the dreams unpursued.

Sure, I can chase some of 'em now, and I am. But others... well, sometimes there is such a thing as too late. If you're young and you have dreams, chase the shit out of them. This is the time to do it. Believe me.

AndroidDoctorr

I think you missed the point. The miner who "stayed behind" stayed in the mortal world. The other guy died. The girls were angels and he was being judged, and in the end he turns to light and enters heaven.

My beautiful daughter born April 21, this year. And was the most beautiful thing I could ever see. I played this song many times while she was inside mommy. I just loved her with my life. For my disgrace, life took her away from us. 9 days later she die, and I just hope, in the moment before getting in paradise, she was dancing like this. With no fear, and being happy, no pain no sadness. Just as happy as she was.
Love you Alessa, no matter where you are.

I might as well throw my hat into the ring.

I think this can be interpreted as both men actually being close to death in the mine. When they open the hatch and everything goes to from black and white to color, that's the edge of heaven. Nothing but happiness, dancing, and fun times ahead. Arthur is much closer to death, so he's the one who goes in and starts dancing, ready to accept his end in his former life and a beginning in eternity. His friend is not as close to death as Arthur, so he doesn't start dancing right away. In the end, when he's banging on his tambourine, he is getting a bit closer, but it's been determined that it's not his time. That's why he goes back to black and white. He's being pulled back to earth. Arthur stays in color, meaning he's not going back. And in the end, before Arthur is engulfed in light, they look at each other and bid one last farewell.

Also, I think the woman that was sitting with Arthur's friend and smiling was the angels' way of telling him that Arthur was going to be alright from now on. He was going to be happy.

So i think i may have figured this video out. Arthur. is the dancing one and the girls and judges are angels to see if he's ready to go to heaven,that's why the younger miner cant really dance or keep a tempo, because he's not ready to die.

You could be right even though I am more optimistic. The cannary sitting next to the man is a symbol of life. Miners always take a cannary with them to check for toxic gasses. If the cannary dies, you have to prepare gas mask and all.....
The bird is alive and well so there is nothing wrong. I think it's related more to the fact someone got stuck in life and their old ways while the other one went on with the flow and lived.

Arthur is dancing with the angels, brought forth to be judged by a heavenly jury. When the end finally comes a clock can be seen, indicating the hour of death. He fades into the light, an angel by his side.

"He's having a damn good time"

Yand Yandiev

Just to sum up this amazing video:
1. Two men got stuck under the rock in the mine. Basically in the tunnel.
2. They approach to murmurous sounds. When they open the hatchway they see bright light or bright light at the end of the tunnel. Death allusion.
3. Just before they leave we see canary in the cage and the last words they hear are "Get drink! Have a good time! Welcome to paradise!". Canary is a miner practical symbol of life. Miners are seemingly are leaving this World.
4. Two angel like girls meet them emerging from bright white light. Or two angels black and white from the Beyond. They bring the older miner to judges - eschatological allusion.
5. If you look closely to the windows you won't see trees, cityscape, campus, streets or country you'll see blueshly white light. Thus this place is heaven itself.
6. Through the dance angels are testifying the miner and judges seem to be happy with him. No one in the hall acts like something weird is happening.
7. When girls and miner got to chair sequence you can see in a glimpse small crosses on the backs of those chairs. Obvious Christian allusion.
8. Above the judges you can see clock showing 3:7. Maybe it's a reference to a Bible. John 3:7: "Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’" Or maybe this is referense to Bible 3:35. Anyways it deals somehow with Bible.
9. The place itself where the exam took place. It looks like a church hall a bit - there's an organ, cathedra and choir balcony.
9. Young miner is mesmerized by the dance but doesn't accept it. As many people here noticed - lad didn't want accept death faith like the old one did.
10. Now to the chorus of the song - Since I left you I've found the world so new. Which is direct death implication.
11. At the end of the dance we see that older miner is left with the white angel (no racial puns) and vanishes in bright white light. I think this means that angel of good deeds has more notes about wholesomeness of the miner. Thus judges decided he is decent to stay at Heaven.
12. The only name we got is the name of that older miner - Arthur. Even by the end of whole video we don't know the name of the younger miner. That's again a sign of respect to bygone friend.
13. In front of the photo you see the canary and the tambourine. Bird represents life as a metaphore of miners symbolism - young miner chose to live. Tambourine is a mourn for the friend.
14. When the man says "Wherever he's gone he is having damn good time". I think this shows man's belief in life after death. Arthur is probably in Heaven, oldman's not sure but believes in best faith of his friend.
15. So the video is about acceptance of death and strugle for life. Old miner was to tired and was dreaming about another life not the hardworking labour. Younger one didn't know Earth life and chose to live here. All in all this video is about the Choice in a Christian way.
Video is a masterpiece with double bottom.

Caio César Zenon - No, it's "Get a drink" in the music video too. It's a sample from a the film Club Med, they can't change it.

It took me forever to find where the "Get a drink, have a good time now! Welcome to paradise!" came from, and I found it. It's from the 1986 movie "Club Med" and it's at about 9 minutes 50 seconds in this clip:

I remember this tune growing up and just watched it now smiling. Friendship can be such a great thing in life. Appreciate those close to you and live your life to the fullest. Such a sweet hidden meaning in this one. ♥

CLASSIC

the way that i feel "since I have left you , i have found a world so new" is:
since i have left that dark hole that i was stuck in, of shyness and insecurity, i have found a world so bright and interesting, "every day".

This is such a beautiful film clip... I think there is a gold miner in every man dreaming about the things/people/situations we can't have. The journey/life is the real gold.
