SKYND Feat Bill $aber - 'Columbine' (Official Video)

I have to say the director of this video needs to teach Hollywood what suspense and intensity means. I mean.. insanely intense directing.

The "How many victims is we 'bout to lose" line's double meaning is so powerful. The shooter's wondering who will get away but everyone else is wondering how many people will die.

I love how the blood on her face slowly gets more pronounced, seemingly out of nowhere. Really chilling and subtle imagery. Huge fan of SKYND videos!!

This is a perfect example of "art comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable". That being said, I'm glad Stan Lee was there to offer her support.

I don't think people understand how much this event impacted the goth/industrial scene at the time due to the blame being put on musical acts in our scene. Many friends suffered violence afterward at the hands of outraged people simply because they were wearing all black in the wrong place around the wrong people. This is a full circle moment for me to see a band who is embraced in our scene depicting this event years later. It's a very emotional experience listening to this and watching this video <3 Thank you Skynd and Father for this gift.

I respect the decision to focus on the victims instead of glorifying the killers.

1:41 always gets me on the rewatch, what was that conversation?she smiles but then as soon as he walks away the smile fades, powerful acting

I cannot understand how this video hasn't won awards for it's filming and editing. This is Emmy level stuff.

The acting in this one is stunning.

The attention to detail in the video is incredible: the students’ outfits, the old computers with the box monitors, the projectors, there’s even a picture of Bill Clinton on the wall in the library that’s only seen for a brief moment. Director really made it feel like 1999

I just came home from SKYND concert in Copenhagen. If you're wondering if it's worth seeing the act live based on how good this song and video is, stop wondering and do it - it's WELL worth it!

1:45 love how Dylan walks into focus in the background but the drama of the situation pulls the attention away from him. So many little moments in this video.

The actor in this does a great job. She conveys a whole range of emotions convincingly.

Discovered SKYND by accident. Best accident I ever made!

Props to this young girl for playing such an incredibly emotional role. It can't be easy to have even a prop gun against your cheek like that.

Klebold's face at aound the 3:44 mark is haunting. Even though his face is blurred you can still make out an unsettling grin.

I remember Columbine, it was awful. Parents blamed everyone from Marilyn Manson to Eminem, and everything from video games to movies like The Crow and The Craft. “Do you believe in God?” that’s what witnesses said the kids were asked before they were shot. Then 9/11 happened two years later and the world forgot, and nothing was done to solve the root of the problem. The truth is that it wasn’t music, or video games, or movies. The truth is that we never got an answer for why a few angry kids killed so many other people. Two years later 9/11 happened and we forgot about the kids at Columbine. We forgot until another shooting happened, or a father sold his daughter’s journal to make a buck. We forgot and when we’re reminded we try to ban guns, and we go on talk shows screaming about the 2nd amendment, all while forgetting that the real reason things like this happen is because we forget about people. We forget about our kids mental health, our own mental health, until the problem becomes so unbearable that someone does something awful, and then we blame everything and everyone else for our own failure, our own blindness and disregard. Then the cycle repeats. This was a good song, remembering that time is painful, but then that’s the point I suppose.

I don't understand the people saying this glorifies the killers. It's about the victims. The point's clear. If you're unwilling to do anything more than offer "thoughts and prayers" every time this happens, expect more variants of this video to keep showing up on your local news.

love how they keep the shooters faces at a distance at all times. works perfectly. really makes you think of their actual faces making you go back in your own memory of them

I was 15 when Columbine happened. That event impacted our entire generation.
