Pablo, 'Morning' -- Video Premiere

pabloIndie rockers Pablo apparently paid attention in history class. The video for their new single 'Morning' features iconic scenes from world history recreated in crude, MS Paint fashion. "I love that the animation looks like it was made by a child," vocalist/guitarist Paul Schalda tells Spinner.

Childish drawings aside, the song's lyrics are no joke. "The song itself is about how easy it is to see through the puppets in politics," Schalda says, citing red versus blue labels and religion as the causes of political divisions. "If it weren't for those things, the masses/sheep might begin to understand that we are all one."

Check out the exclusive premiere of 'Morning' after the jump.

Nice, insightful - not inciteful - stuff, both the song and the video. Where can we get the CD???
