ABOUT REBUS101:
"Quality, originality, consistency." - David Herrera
Rebus101 is the graffiti "pen name" for musician, graphic novelist and filmmaker David Herrera. He began making films at University of California, Berkeley's Film Department with Cannes & Sundance winner Rob Nilsson, co-writing the GreenCine Film Festival Award winning feature film "Security". Herrera was soon accepted at Tisch (NYU Film School) where he wrote, produced, and directed an unofficial music video for Radiohead's "How To Disappear Completely" which continues to attract more than a million YouTube views and excellent viewer ratings. Hired out of film school by music video veteran Bill Fishman, Herrera co-wrote the concept for the music video remake for Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl" and went on to produce a music video for David Byrne's record label artists Zap Mama and Erykah Badu. Herrera formed his own production company Rebus101.com in 2004.
Herrera currently directs music videos for recording artists such as Rye Rye, Diplo, Andrew Bird, members of The Black Keys, The Killers, Of Montreal, The Decemberists, the Musical Director for Beyoncé, as well as selected independent recording artists. Herrera works with both Video Commissioners at major and independent record labels as well as directly with musicians to create video concepts that are spectacular, memorable, and thought-provoking. Herrera's highly conceptual work has been exhibited at Berkeley Art Museum, Pacific Film Archive, and Museum Of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. He has been profiled in Rolling Stone, Lively Magazine, MVDB.com, The Huffington Post, and Paste Magazine which recently named one of his productions among "The Best Music Videos Of The Decade". He also currently teaches the first class ever offered by UCLA in Music Video Production, all while developing his graphic novel GÖLDEN into a musical feature film.

It's one of those nights again, isn't it?

Dying is such a hassle, I just wanna disappear completely like I was never here to begin with
-
The worst feeling is having to live your life surviving, and not enjoying it anymore.
-
I feel so empty all the time. Everything happens so much. I feel nothing for an eternity and a torrential flood for a moment. I'm not a good person. I feel either incapable of love or hopelessly lonely. It's tiring
-
Does anyone else find a strange sense of comfort in the pain and sadness of certain songs?

I spent the day laughing with friends, only to come back and go to bed and listen to this while I'm crying. I'm tired of life, tired of disability, of not being enough, not belonging... Whenever I go, I don't feel at home, I'm searching for something I don't even know. But I'm hanging on, for what? Because I don't want to hurt my family and friends, I don't belong with them, but I don't want them to end up like me.

Dissociation is fucking torture.

If you hear your neighbor blasting this song, please do the right thing and check on them to make sure they're okay.

I came depressed and left depressed but with a better understanding

My mother passed away two days ago. I've been in my apartment with this song on repeat. Not sure when I'm going to leave.

Towards the end of a depression spanning around three years (with minor and short periods of happiness scattered throughout it) I started listening to this song a lot, especially when I was especially sad, cause the lyrics really fitted my feelings. One day I finally got the courage to talk to somebody about my mental health - which I had refused to do for those three years, thinking that I'd have been better off dead. I went to my doctor, given that that was the first step, but all I got out of it was a phone number for somebody to talk to over the phone - which frankly I found useless. I left the doctor's office feeling almost worse than when I came, but with that little fraction of life-lust I had left, I decided to go to the library, cause there was this girl I fancied, who I knew used to work there many years ago. I thought my hopes of meeting her there were very slim, given that it was so many years ago, but I tried anyways. But when I came to the entrance, I could feel my anxiety kick in, and I started to walk past it, and then just as I was about to head outside the building, this song came on the speakers in the entry-hall. I'm not normally a religious or spiritual person, and never really believed in destiny, but I thought this had to be some sort of sign. So I gathered the courage to enter the library. The girl wasn't there (life isn't a hollywood movie) but it still taught me a lot about decision-making, and it taught me that I had to start digging myself free from the depression, and change my life for the better, rather than just living in my dreams, hoping that good things would come to me automatically. That day felt like the last time I lived in a world of destiny; destiny gave me one final chance to save my life, and from then on I was on my own, in a world of existentialism. Every choice I've made since then has felt like a self-conscious one, and almost all of them have led my towards a better and happier life. Thank you, Radiohead.

This comment section feels like a therapy room

This doesn't need high resolution. The bad resolution makes it perfectly imperfect.

My wife died 18 days ago for unknown reason in our bedroom, and our marriage is only just about 6 months. This song actually reminds me on that day, my life felt so unreal afterwards. And to me this song somehow calming yet devastating.
-
This shit goes on forever. You'll be back in all of your many forms, back to this song again and again.
-
The amount of times I’ve cried to this song is unreal
-
It's weird how the 240p makes the video better
-
This song hits me really hard... I suffer from dissociation and i pass every time of my day wondering why i fell so disconnected from my life. Everybody seems like strangers and everything slowly stars to disappear... I can't get it anymore
-
Wow everyone’s so depressed in this comment section. Meanwhile here I am tripping on shrooms thinking how beautiful this song sounds and how happy I am to experience it.
