deadmau5 & The Neptunes – Pomegranate (Official Music Video)

 

Description:

The latest collaboration between director/producer Nick DenBoer, the motion graphics artist behind his Smearballs brand, and legendary electronic dance music producer, deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman ) and The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) has resulted in a whimsical, entertaining, fully-animated three-minute music video for the artists’ latest release, Pomegranate. The video has also cemented the director’s reputation for an enduring influence on pop culture.

The extensive music video design package initially was intended as creating a fun, and characteristically weird DenBoer concept of deadmau5 – keeping true to his brand — and The Neptunes, with avatars cruising through a colorful world in a surreal transforming car never panned out due to Covid-19.  Creating handcrafted 3D graphical elements using Cinema 4D, tailored to Joel’s sensibilities, DenBoer was able to create a new world of creatures, and to portray a subtle depiction of the planet Neptune.

Official Lyrics:
Yea yea yea yea
Ahh yeah

Sparkle for me!

It’s shining like three seeds of pomegranates in my hands
It’s just us that’s on this beach and all this sand
All of this water
I know but d*mn!
I know we ain’t supposed to touch it
We only live once ma’am
You said give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Then said take it, take it, take it
I said did we do this really?
Shouldn’t we have waited waited?
You’re making faces
Probably so am I
We’re in the ocean
Waves are rolling in your eyes

Pulse is high
The heart beats
We’re being called to the other side, girl
Lost in the vibe
We can’t sleep
Our clothes off
Feels so good inside, girl

It’s been ooh so long
Since we’ve been away from home
All the f*cks every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this sh*t wrong
It’s been ooh so long
Since we’ve been away from home
All the f*cks every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this sh*t wrong

What’s the reason why we should do this tonight?
Spend the night, spend the night, spend the night, spend the night
So much you won’t see without open eyes
Cause closed eyes
Is closed sight
And closed mind
Is closed vibe
New feelings it’s bringing in
What’s this tone I’m singing in?
Your eyes are twinkling
My limbs are tingling
You are a synonym
You’re my best friend in the world
All this adrenaline
Melting like M&M’s

Pulse is high
The heart beats
We’re being called to the other side, girl
Lost in the vibe
We can’t sleep
Our clothes off
Feels so good inside, girl

It’s been ooh so long
Since we’ve been away from home
All the f*cks every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this sh*t wrong
It’s been ooh so long
Since we’ve been away from home
All the f*cks every last one gone
Blissfully, knowing this sh*t wrong
