It's a Dum Dum Unchained Version on repeat kinda night

[lilitblaukatz]

Oh no I went and broke my heart with Jeff Satur

When I first watched Lucid I had an uneasy feeling which then dissolved in that fairy-tale. Those bruises, too real.

Then Jeff said that it was about home violence and that he wants to continue to show this theme.

The Dum Dum song as I remember from his interviews is about the toxic relationship he was in for two years prior. I may lose something in translation, so. That's what I gathered.

The original mv is quite telling. Straightforward even. The processing of the feelings of being hurt for so long. The anger and frustration.

Isn't the new version about the same things? Home violence and toxic relationships.

Yes, it's beautiful, but Jeff is beautiful and that's how ugly things done to someone beautiful look like (I'm not talking about us all being beautiful right now).

So I watched closely all the gifs all the lovely people in the tag had done. I watched it on my tiny screen with my slowest internet connection and while I'm waiting for some behind the scenes and Jeff maybe explaining himself, I want to share an uneasy feeling again.

I see the new version as an artistic processing of a common tragedy. When I try to understand it I see a comparison: like a child may process bad things happened to them through a fairy-tale like image of events, that's what Lucid looks like.

As for Dum Dum Unchained, that's obviously an adult view but it is a view of someone very soft who've been through something very rough. It doesn't toughen. He can't really lash out. He doesn't want to. All he can do is create. With those things he's been given.

Some details threw me off initially, like with Lucid. The lace blindfold. I thought, if it was real struggle, it should be painted harsher. There should be something else, like leather or thicker material, not flirtatious lace. Though lace is used often in thematic outfits. But that's what gave me new insight in the end. It looks too intimate, to just be a game. And Jeff is exactly Jeff, he can't be someone else. He is soft and kind, he told us recently he wants to write a metal song which is not like metal song and also that metal has a soft side too. So this is his reaction, his processing of the hard stuff. It's beautiful, it's musical, it's soft.

But he is an excellent actor and if you wonder what he wants to say, you may just look at his face. Those subtle expressions he's so good at.

The gestures. He feels the blindfold. He tries to get out. He bares his teeth. He smiles. That is his answer, he even sings about it. I wonder if he chose the English version of the song to show more nuances.

"Who hurt you bro"™ is as real for me as ever.

Jeff Satur - Dum Dum (Unchained Live Version)

[lugarn]

good morning to me personally, who gets to watch jeff satur in chains

[mr-bazongos]

Yeah No Ok But Like the THING about Dum Dum Unchained is, like, a beautiful sexy popular Artist turning to their audience and saying "Yeah, I know a lot of you are the kind of people who want to see me chained up in a basement. And that's cool." FEELS as a freaky Queer audience so like😄😍😭🙏❤

so warm

[live-from-flaturn]

Jeff really went full Queen of the Damned in this one. Serving Lestat (but only the Stuart Townsend version).

[lilitblaukatz]

And his safe word is?

Don't say it

Don't say it

OK I will say it, so you won't have to.

Flugegenheimen!

[scarefox]

Imagine the power they could hold in a collaboration.

I mean we would end up with two tied up guys but what if they are tied together in some messed up darkness vs light metaphor?

Also I just want to see those two gender thieves in one room and combine their voices. For science.
