Watch Arcade Fire's one-take live music video, directed by Spike Jonze

We love it, even if we’re not entirely sure what’s going on.

THE FIRST-EVER YouTube Music Awards ceremony was held in New York last night, and it was chaotic, completely unrehearsed and a lorra lorra fun.

A live music video for Arcade Fire’s “Afterlife” opened the show – it was directed by Spike Jonze and shot and performed in a single take.

The video stars actress Greta Gerwig, who dances frantically through an apartment and a woodland set before joining the band on stage.

It’s weird but definitely wonderful – look out for Win Butler hovering creepily in the background at around the three minute mark.
