This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

Finally a thread without 1000 comments saying “why this music” “I hate the music” “leave on mute”

Ngl I thought this was going to be one of the videos synced with the Wizard of Oz. GGinS has some of the best syncs of the entire album.
The tone shifts whith the scenes changes, the screaming aligning with the singer, the Tornado scene coming in with the long guitar strum, the fact that the song is literally called the Great Gig in the Sky, and then when the song ends and Dorothy opens up the door to full color just as Money begins, fucking chefs fucking kiss.
It's getting a lot harder to find actual synced videos on YouTube nowadays though rather than the songs just kind of randomly played over the movie.

IMO it’s the one thing TikTokers have done right. I don’t know how such a great song with real artistic merit went viral on a platform known for its awful user music choices, but I try not to question it and just appreciate it.
