This was actually the second video that was filmed for this song. The first video was deliberately surreal and Ozzy felt that it didn’t represent what the song was about. Samuel Bayer was selected to direct the second video on the basis of his direction of the video for Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit.
We all knew it was coming but this one still hurts.
Ozzy Osbourne, RIP.
All aboard! Hahaha
Crazy, but that’s how it goes Millions of people living as foes Maybe, it’s not too late To learn how to love, and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing Life’s a bitter shame I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I’ve listened to preachers, I’ve listened to fools I’ve watched all the dropouts Who make their own rules One person conditioned to rule and control The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming Driving me insane I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah
Heirs of a cold war, that’s what we’ve become Inheriting troubles, I’m mentally numb Crazy, I just cannot bear I’m living with something that just isn’t fair
Mental wounds not healing Who and what’s to blame I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train I’m goin’ off the rails on a crazy train
Today’s music video is for Public Service Broadcasting’s inspiring tribute to space exploration, The Other Side! Yes, those are the voices of actual NASA engineers and astronauts, experiencing the dark side of the moon for the very first time. This is from PSB’s classic album, Race for Space.
This music video was directed by Eric Richards and not Eric Roberts. I’ve never been more thankful for a decision to double-check before clicking on publish.
