  • I just have to say I liked it.

  • i didnt understand the connection between the video and the song,but i apprieceated them both sepretly.the feeling was proper,but i like the video without the music and the music with out the video.the combination makes you feel it,but ur not exactly sure what your feeling lol.regardless.well done and keep it up.u have great potencial trust me.i can see where your headed.

  • prepare to hear this song being shat upon by Leona Lewis.

  • Is this like a Starbucks ad?

  • i would use reeses chin as a can opener.

  • why is it in black and white? this is the 21st century!

  • @bluumonk because the videographer is colorblind, jeesh! It's an artistic thing.

  • @KareemHenein Hello. I thought that the video had good parts. It looks like your character is running from something and lost. It would have been great to see splices of what she is running from, either good and bad. From a photographic standpoint, it's great.

    I hope you're still doing the film thing. First times are almost always end up being off. My first film was a guy running from one side of campus to the other just to get to his poptart.

  • @PicantePuce Thanks! well that was like my 3rd student film done in 2007, I didnt have much to give at that time but pure instinct on direction. I wouldnt re-cut it again I feel what is done is done so I only add what I learned to my new work. feel free to check out the latest of my videos on my channel. cheers!

  • @KareemHenein Sure i'll check out your videos. Hope the NY Film School treats you well. I'm thinking of going back to school for my MFA... but really it's so I can be a TA and torture the students as bad as my TAs did.

  • hi! here my version, enjoy :)

  • i shot myself intentionally in the nuts while i watched this.

  • i like how this song makes you feel kind of sad , and then the corus comes in and you suddenly feel that everything will be ok , and even if the video dosn't mean that much , i think it suits the song perfectly .

  • @KareemHenein

    dont know what this person is talking about..i love this

  • It would be hilarious if the girl was a stranger. But yeah I kinda liked it...

  • me encanta!!

  • not bad dude,the fact that its b y w is kind of cliche but other than that you got the idea at that point

  • Amazing sensitivity for a first video, i think you did a great job. Thx

  • i like the shots you took although there isn't much of a story in it for the song but for a first video it's really great :)

  • Comment removed

  • i like the shits you took but they don't really seem to show a story. great for your first video though.

  • I just covered this song on piano..please come check it out <3

  • i like this vid so much! you did this very well! 

  • I think the video is great, i'm sad now,  but don't know...

  • I like that creation... :)))

  • this song is beautiful. and i absolutely loved it during cruel intentions

  • PS I enjoyed your video much more than the other "color blind you tube video.

  • this song reminds me of breathe by sia

  • Comment removed

  • i wanna cry

  • Cool video guys!

  • nice nose *_*

  • thumbs up if u r watching this in 2011

  • I walked down the Isle to this song..........

  • @SBallard775

    How romantic!

  • If I could sleep with Reese while this played I'd be colorblind too lol.

  • I hope this person got an F on their video project for film school. It did not tell a story at all...just a bunch of shots of a girl staring at what it is we don't know....

  • @adeck220 Yes that's exactly what happened, It was my first music video ever and I was disgraced by my outcome. Don't worry justice is always served! :D

  • @KareemHenein I like this video :) well done. x

  • @tarajade87 Thanks I appreciate it :)

  • @KareemHenein

    I agree with the others, I think it's beautiful! What a douchenozzle adeck220 is man. Just wow. What the hell is wrong with some people? It's like some Lit major telling me I can't start a sentence with conjunction or end with a preposition. It's the 21st century--artistic mediums have evolved into something that can be abstract and personal. And you did tell a story! To me I see the human experience, the everyday, just being part of the busy world. Great job Kareem. Keep it up!

  • @KareemHenein Thankyou so much. That was beautiful.

  • @MrSirSnoozealot funny thing is..i got a reply from the person that made the video and they said they hated it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This person making the video is learning how to make great videos.

  • @adeck220 oh as if you could do any better?

  • I had a different opinion. I Imagine that the girl in the video is going on about her day, as usual, and the video highlights these few extraordinary moments beyond the mundane. Almost as if daily routines are black and white (a play on words to the song), and she's breaking through that at these moments. To me the walking up the stairs is a closing, as it dictates the idea of rising up, so it does tell a story, artistic interpretation is only limited by the relationships you're able to make.

  • @adeck220 It's called art dickhead. If you want a story get your mom to read you one at bedtime.

  • @adeck220 i liked it, just loneliness, and thats all there needed to be

  • @adeck220 obviously the video represents the girl being colorblind you idiot. Shes looking at what she cant see in COLOR. I love geniuses like you who set themselves up to get burned lmao

  • @bogityshoe1 Don't call people idiots when you don't know that colorblind people can actually see color..it's just not the same COLORS we see. The person that filmed it said they didn't like the finished product either. It's my opinion. Next video they will make a masterpiece.

  • @adeck220 Your so stupid Listen to the song, and you'll get the it with the video -.- So slow...

  • QUALITY What a track

    So beautiful.

    Dont' Thumbs Up any onther comment in the history of this video.

    Thanks

  • very differant to 'accidentally in love ' lol

  • A wonderfully sad and hauntingly beautiful song.

  • A wonderfully sad and beautiful song.

  • Although I deeply admire this song, I would never associate it to any happy moment of my life, because then this song would lose all its sad beauty... I wish I had written it.

  • : ' ) beautiful

  • This is me and my wife song that we danced to at our wedding! Beautiful!

  • 37 see in color

  • all i have to say this is a great song infact i would almost say this is my favorite but i have no favorite because there are future songs i might like that are better this song always makes me feel like im a dog i know random but theres this kid at my school and hes colorblind it must be horrible to see everything in black & white

  • amazing lyrics..........

  • The Counting Crows didn't write this song. Adam got it from the singer from Remy Zero who in turn stole it from the actual writer. Which was a woman!

  • This song makes me ball my eyes out. I feel so much joy and pain at once. Undescribable feeling.

  • Some kids had to dance to this at my school i almost cried during rehearsal

  • this is beautiful

  • Eh. Don't care for this song. Something about the vocal structure...

  • @Armagedn12 It's meant to be that way.

  • @wyrwich I know it's meant to be that way, I just don't care for it.

  • @Armagedn12 I don't agree but I respect your opinion.

  • @wyrwich Well. Good to see there's still nice people on the internet. Yeah, I can see how this song would be appealing to a lot of people. It's just not for me, I suppose...

  • i love this song sooo much that when i hear it it nakes me wanna dance.

  • I think this song is about people who fail to see the "gray" areas in life, people who only see in black and white. I'm like this and after a while, it becomes very lonely. All or nothing personalities are not attractive, usually drama queens are like this, too. It's almost like when he says "I am fine" he's accepting that things aren't always to the extreme; he isn't great, he isn't terrible, he's fine.

  • /watch?v=7CH45Vz3RWU = happy uplifting version, guy did a house remix to it, just love it to death, i listen to it every morning ! :) or you can just youtube ( paisean ceol colorblind counting crows house mix )

  • i remember makin love to my son's mother to this song. . . .and it just intensafied the momment. . . .i had it on repeat, it must of played atleast 15 times. . . . . .this song iz my "ecstacy"

  • givers me shivers

    so beautiful

  • This song reminds me of my grandpa's funeral. I refused to cry or grieve, (Since i had COMPLETELY broke down 2 days b4.) and I felt numb. I wouldnt let anyone else see me grieve again. ("No one gets to come in.") I found myself beginning to pain, so I hid in a different room. I layed on the ground telling myself "I am fine, I am fine." Finally I got it together, and left that room to face my Grandpa's body.

  • I dont know why but I always come back to this song

  • beautifully done. I love NY so much. 

  • people really have to care about each other more. it is all we have. and it is put into beautiful songs.

  • @latetag i agree, but people sometimes don't understand how valuable to a person is to know tht they care for them. the world now days is lost nd conffuse much people do what their told insted of doing what they want to do.

  • good music never fades.

  • This song is amazing. Check out Between The Buried And Me's cover of this. I know they're extreme metal, but it's not a metal cover at all. Just acoustic guitar and ambience or whatever, but it's amazing.

  • my drama teacher did a monolouge with this song!! so pro

  • This was the song played at my 23 year old brother's memorial service. He died in a car accident right before Christmas in 2004. He was colorblind. It's so incredibly powerful & completely heartbreaking for me. I love you, Justin, & I miss you with every ounce of my being.

  • @jamesalyssa

    I feel very empathic over your lose. lets hope he is in peace

  • @Ironandtheshizzelz - Thank you VERY much! :))

  • @Ironandtheshizzelz - Thank you VERY much!  :))

  • one of the few songs you can listen to for hours or days on end without getting one bit tired of it ^___^

  • ... I love this song. Just kinda wish the video had more in it then a girl sitting on a train or just looking around..

  • This guy gives hope to ugly songwriters, make great songs and you too can bang a Jennifer Aniston caliber woman in her prime. He got her pre-Brad too, go Adam.

  • Just...beautiful.

  • Well i think im going to jump off a bridge now! lol but def good song

  • I could listen to this song all day........it is so beautiful, the lyrics, the voice, a masterpiece!

  • such a beautiful song.....

  • This song remembers me when i ran away from home with 19 and lived in my vw t3 bus for 2 months alone. I listened to it most time. Helped me to survive this time,,, because of all that Love wich is packed in this Song.

    THANK YOU COUNTING CROWS!! YOU SAVED MY LIFE!!!

  • First counting crows song I've ever heard. Heard it in cruel intentions when I was I think 4. Been a complete fan of all their music since. Variety is the spice of life and you guys do it all.

    Always Counting Crows.

  • This song is so so beautiful. 

  • oh WOW this is beautiful!

  • TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP

  • @GetOffThatCake Its scary how much I know what you mean.

  • 2:52 are u ****ing kidding me?

  • Only a few months before a good friend passed away in an accident he had written down on a piece of paper that he would like this song player at his funeral if he was to pass. Little did any of us know that we would be in that predicament soon after. Beautiful song, reminds me of him everytime I hear it.

  • @ricksixsix Passed awasy is a good way to say.WE are here on earth to learn,then off to a place were every one we once knew is there.God will have open arms.

  • @m109r1800 I respect your choice to believe in whatever is it that you do believe in, but that is not why I put this comment on here. I was just pointing out the irony of this song to the situation I had been through. I used the term "passed away" as a gental alternative to "died" with no other intention behind it. No offense to you or your belief of corse, its just not what i was referring to :)

  • my life..

  • this is the most beautiful song ever made.. just saying

  • everytime i hear this song it reminds me of cruel intentions! beautiful song and great movie!!!

  • i love how this song ties into the movie

  • There's something hypnotic about black and white and scattering light. The song just pulls it all together, too!

  • @Veektoereeah 

    haha true, it´s so, just so confusing :P

    can stare at it for hours XD

  • I love this song

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!

  • Luv this song & the video. Simple and provoking.

  • This song is not beatifull, but it´s a great song. I understand everything he is talking about, though allways will be, my point of view from inside and from the circumstances

    Sorry for my english, I´m from other country.

  • yeah this song is beautiful!

  • The song is great, but one of the worst videos i've ever seen. it's almost like intentionally bad, and in that sense, props to the skill.

  • i love this song and the video is amazing. i can let go of myself and seeing this helps me realize how much i love and appreciate art. Besides the girl in the video is gorgeous.

  • zawsze w chwilach nostalgii...

  • Yeah Nibblaaaaa, I know how the whole colorblind thing is...I wish I could see colors. Black, white and gray for me.

  • @BlakeMacey colourblindness is when you can't seethe difference between certain colours that others can distinguish not when you can't see colour. I dunno what the hell you have..

  • @SuperUkuleleGirl I have a quite suver (cant spell lol) case of colorblindness I guess you could say. I can see black, white, and shades of gray. If you watch a colorless movie, I believe that would be the best way to explain it. I only guess at that sence I have nothing to compair to that to.

  • @BlakeMacey you have what dogs have.

  • so beatiful)))))))))))
