Ooh. Interesting.

I got--

- At least it's got a happy ending. She's still alive.
- Okay.
- There's a lot happening there. (chuckles)
- No, the end. What was that?
- (Finebros) That was the process of decomposing.
- (both) That's what it looks like?
- Why didn't you guys tell me that? - No!
♪ (dramatic chord) ♪
- (Finebros) So what kind of feelings do you have
when you watch that video? - Well, I was really touched.
- I felt at peace.
- I just felt very reflective.
- I was shocked with the--
decomposition is never a good-looking thing.
- The takeaway was,
we're all gonna go there, and we're all gonna die.
And we're all gonna be leaving this Earth.
- (Finebros) So by the visuals,
what do you think the meaning was behind this?
- Something about the circle of life.
Life is short and fragile, and you age and you die.
- Maybe it's something to do with life and the pass of time.
- Life is short.
And then you're worms.
- You're gonna die one day.
So no matter what you look like, rock it,
if you're a guy, girl, Shrek.
- We all start as something beautiful.
And then we pull away our fake lashes,
and then life pulls away the rest. And then we all go away.
- I like that it showed death.
'Cause when we think about it, "Oh, you're dead. You're gone."
It's like, no, you're not gone. You're still there.
Like, there's processes still happening to your body.
- (Finebros) So this comes from Thailand. - Okay.
- Yes, I recognized it being Thai.
I think that's so awesome, especially because I am half Thai.
So it's really cool to know that people in Thailand
are watching YouTube.
- (Finebros) And the song's title translates roughly
to "The Last Breath." - That's so sad and depressing.
- (Finebros) And it was uploaded
by a nonprofit Buddhist organization. - The Buddhists?
- Well, my mom is Buddhist, but I am not practicing.
I know that life and death are both very symbolic in Buddhism.
So I could see why this would be something to represent that.
- So very roughly translated, the song's lyrics talk about
how the human body is just a vessel
and the aging process we will all go through.
And then after we take our last breath, we return to the Earth.
- We're, like, so scared of dying and death and stuff.
I never actually took the time to think about...
- What happens. - ...what a person looks like in a coffin.
- (Finebros) How do you feel about
that concept for a music video? - It's cool.
- It feels very private.
And to be able to witness that is very interesting.
- I got the full effect of, we will all be going through this,
and we will all go there.
I really wanted to see the second part of that.
Maybe that's in the sequel. But coming from the Earth too.
- I think it's really beautiful.
And it's also something that I've thought about
with just living my life.
Like, our bodies really are these vessels
in which we just experience the world around us.
I think the message behind it is really beautiful.
- (Finebros) By adding the shocking imagery in the video,
do you think that it did itself a service
in promoting its message, or a disservice
'cause people might now overlook the message
and just see the gore? - I thought--
Well, at first, it was a little bit shocking for me.
I thought it was turning into a joke or something
in some capacity.
- If I wasn't here
and I was just at home, I would've probably like,
"Whoa," and X'd out.
- I'm always distracted by the grotesque imagery.
- I think it's kind of necessary
for the story they're trying to tell.
- I can respect it. Never would have been like,
"That's what I want in this music video."
- I'm glad that they put that in there,
because not all of life is beautiful and amazing.
But you can learn to understand the meaning behind it.
- (Finebros) So the fact that this video
is from another country, yet it has millions of views,
with almost all the comments left in another language,
really highlights the global reach that YouTube has.
What do you think about the worldwide span of YouTube,
as someone who is part of the platform in such a large way?
- Yeah, I'm constantly amazed at the niche, global fanbases
that I will see on videos
that just have massive amounts of views.
But everything is in a different language.
- The last time I was in Thailand, maybe several years ago,
it wasn't a huge, huge thing.
So it's cool to see the growth over there
and people really grasping onto it.
- I love that. That's why I love YouTube. It's global.
You're all over the world, so people can enjoy from all over.
And communities can come together.
- I love the fact that anything can kind of
find its own audience on YouTube,
and it's not just the same white kid in their bedroom in America.
- I love it when I go places and people know who I am.
I'm like, "I don't even speak what you speak. But you know me?
All right, that's cool with me. Let's go get some tacos."
- I am an example of that. I am a Spanish-speaking YouTuber.
And there was a time where I would only consume USA content
and UK content, and now there's so much more to it.
It opens more the content and to things that cultures have
that it's not global.
Conversations that, you know,
globally no one knows about, and they're huge.
- (Finebros) So finally, now that you've watched this video,
is this a video you would recommend other people to watch?
- No.
-No.
- If you just want to get a reaction out of someone
and see how they respond to it, sure.
- I'd only show it to a person
that takes life too seriously about looks.
- Yeah, I'd probably send it to, like, my mom and my dad
just to freak them out.
- I think it's really artistic.
And I think the message is really simple and beautiful
and something that everybody can kind of grasp onto
in their own way.
- (skeptically) I don't know if I would send this
to my friends on Facebook.
If I knew somebody who this was their exact interest,
then I will forward it accordingly.

Um, you too will decompose soon. So live it up while you can.
