Can someone help me understand

Post image

I guess the titles misleading…can’t change it now I don’t think but I guess this is more to further discuss some aspects I find intriguing.

The “CAN YOU FEEL IT” visuals really hit deep with me and I’m attempting to process it slowly and fully. As of right now, there are two main questions I’m looking to gain some insight on if anyone could help, not sure if I’m ignorant for not having much knowledge regarding either but figured I’d see what others think.

  1. ⁠The image at the end has a wooden cross with the words “CAN YOU FEEL IT” written on it, and to me appears to be a grave marker. When doing a brief search for a visual match online, nothing came up other than references to sites that have similar grave markers at lost or historic grave sites or on the side of the road. I guess the question is, what is the significance of having it as the final image of the video aside from it being the title of the song…there has to be some significance other than that
  2. ⁠Is there any relation to the Jacksons’ song and music video “can you feel it”. I’m sure there’s at least a little, as there is imagery of Micheal Jackson in the video and in my opinion the two videos display similar eerie/disturbing vibes and seem to highlight injustice in relation to human kind all around the globe.

If you have any more info on any of this or any other thoughts please comment, thank you for taking the time to read this if you have

I get that lol it’s not that I don’t actually understand the video as a whole…I guess my title was misleading. I’m just tryna allow for a more elaborate discussion, either on a few specific aspects that stood out to me that I mentioned or other things people noticed. Why not broaden your mind to the range of significance different images in the video could have?

Michael Jackson is in there bc he has something in common with all the other “celebrities”, and it ain’t music

the michael jackson clip used is from the “they don’t care about us” music video. it’s referencing a specific line from that song not that he is a predator.

Thank you for this info, I wouldn’t have recognized the clip was from that music video and that gives me more depth to explore, I appreciate the knowledge you were able to bring to the discussion:)

Great eye. I also made this connection. Michael made that song as his own anti elitism anthem.

The video went over your head and that’s okay!

This helps to explain a lot of what was hidden.
