Lover I Don't Have To Love Bright Eyes Music Video

[xXnaatz]

at least the fight scene was good

[unseenufo]

I thought the girl was hot. i am white as hell. so it gets a little lame seeing all these ghosts chicks. i like when girls are a little darker and dont look norse. like most of the white girls lol. This vid was my life. 'cept at the end she did not have the guts to answer. she got the dude to answer.

[ibliveinangels]

i didnt think the video was that bad

[Frankelbonito]

Good video, Great song. Bright Eyes is the best band ever!!!!

[DeannaMarie17]

Ive always loved this song

[schwebebahnable]

However "painfully literal", the video still has some inspired touches. Like having all the club-goers in identical costumes to stress the anonymity of the whole debauch. Thanks for posting!

[MistaNateJay]

bad interpretation

[Glaceo]

An 'A' for effort.. but some of that was just awkward. :|

[VanzLoveVanessa]

thumbs up if anthony padills brought u here :D

[rywyche11]

Good try but you got a long long long way to go. Honestly unless your 15 and if you are keep studying you can do it but if you're any older seriously sho something else

[xcinx84]

Ahhaha vvvv

Oh man....

Yeah pretty terrible vid:l

[lollypopkyd]

could have used a better looking girl for the vid. that girl was a dog. damn. great song. pathetic vid and acting. jesus fuckin christ.

[incrediblemma]

i agree w/ ShahnamPersia

but the vid was better than most fan music videos

and it didnt ruin the song for me :D

[praharshdixit]

I like this song.. and so the video....

It really hurts... :(

[XsmileXcoversXmeX]

this is a very good video i love it!!!

[Termnix216]

This song is about me and my ex. Like wow.

[heyjude97]

I like your choreography.

[ecuamelissa]

i don't get 1:25-4:00

[NycLuvrCP]

and is it just me. or did the girl look sort of awkward?

plus the camera was kind of shaky... sorry! just being a critic. but i mean. the video was OKAY. everyone has their own was of interpreting something. (did i spell that right?)

[NycLuvrCP]

it's not exact! example: can i follow you.

the girl didn't follow the boy. it was vice versa.

also. another thing i might point out. the song mentioned pouring wine. he had the wine already in the glasses.

so no. it's not "exact, exact"

[NycLuvrCP]

2:06-2:17 good actinggg.

[wwealrubsk8]

@GACninjagirl i know i saw the vid with the cartoons

[wwealrubsk8]

@GACninjagirl no

[mrscfelton]

lmfao , personally , i loved it. the fight scene was classic.

[thendoftheredd]

i liked it :)!

[boooooringZZzzzzZZzz]

well, at least you guys got something right. bad actors, indeed. horrible video. also i just threw up in my mouth.

[blueuhhuh]

wow Bright Eyes totally ripped this song from Nina Simone's version of "Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair"... check it.

[N4melessS0ldier]

@blueuhhuh Ummmm... no?

[Xrandomkrisx]

@blueuhhuh I checked it and it was a remix version you checked out. Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair is a traditional folk song and she recorded the song back in 59 I believe and ya. so no dice buddy

[casey15lettis]

bad actors ruining a good song:(

[anais641000]

if she's a whore

why he loves her?

and when they're fighint ROLF it looks like a choreography

jajajajjajajaj

but i liked the song

[TheDarthZoso]

AT 1:19 I'M WAITING FOR SIGOURNEY WEAVER TO POP OUT THIS KIDS NECK!

[josieramone96]

@3:14 makes me lololololol

[kaylelaws]

This is one foul ass fan video.



[selenascream]

yeah.... that girl's hideous..

[hamper11]

zomg that guyz daniel raddclffe!

[TheGrimreaper984]

@hamper11

I KNEW HE LOOKED FREAKING FAMILAR!

[TheGrimreaper984]

@TheGrimreaper984

wait nope it isnt my mistake!

[HopelessRomantic0ne]

<3 THIS SONG

[cupcakechaosx3]

what a great ass song ruined but a shitty ass video

[Maarifah2010]

I want a lover that has to love me...

[AddictedToTheStones]

cool video, but I wish I could find the real one in amongst all this stuff....

[solraccarlos84]

Great vid guys.

[Mistahshadow]

I'm so sorry that I'm about to dis what might've been really hard, prideful work for you, but this video might've just ruined the song for me. Gonna go watch a different version now.

[BeautifulGenocide]

<3 I want a girl whose too sad to give a fuck, and a boy who is too drunk to even talk.

[noelmsp007]

Song = Awesome

Video = Awkward

[DDRChick612]

OMG that was pretty incredible!!! i absolutely loved it!!!!

[NESSAxKILLS]

wonderful!

i loved it!

[BeautifulGenocide]

"Loves an excuse to get hurt, and to hurt.." that is handsdown the best part of this song <3

[stephenpayne85]

wow, so much good art is underappreciated theses days...

[PiePietr]

I think it's very nicely done! Congrats

[manicalhippieboy]

one of the best made fan-vids I have seen...I think that's why everyone hates it so much: it's great quality and well made, unlike half the fan videos people make.

[ktbaby077]

lol at the bar scene

[abbstaleo7861]

lame

[ktbaby077]

@abbstaleo7861 painful to watch..mega cringes.. terriblee

[Misskn125]

This is very good. wow!

[HardCoreChick100]

Nice video.... This was my friend's favorite band before he dided in a car accident... I meant to look them up so many times... Never got around to it until after he died.

[enickgoku]

i wish no girl nor man was like the woman in that video/song.

[flyingwurststulle]

dude, this is a really nice piece of art ;)

[porter121290]

this is a really good video!

[ipokemyself]

hated the fan vid..... .didnt work with what was actually going on in the song,,,, wasnt at all what the song was about..... i know that everyone sees it differently... buuuuttt.... this was WAY off.... i still <3 the song :P good try on the vid... it looked like it took some time and thought..

[hrryzdlr]

aha

impressed by the obviously high production values,

what with the dancers and choreography and lighting and smoke machine, etc.

but on the whole, fail.

[CallMeCarlosHoney]

Awwwww!

[manifestdestiny17]

looks like conor from the back

[MychaelHelmz]

Definitely... "Bad Actors, With Bad Habits" One Of Which Was Making This Weird Interpretation Of Eyes Wide Shut or Something... I Love It When People Over-Act With Mad Gesturing... LOL Even The Lip Sync Scenes Are Off a Bit... And Who Knew That It Was Mandatory In Boston or (Wherever This Was Shot) That Kool-Aid Be Served In Wine Glasses... I Think This Was Filmed At An Orange County Dance or Something... LAME And He Was Obviously Snorting Smarties...

[wickedharmony1717]

never stopped loving this song<3

[MsVenom00]

Aww this was pretty awesome!

[CondortheNomad]

creepy but cool.

[ShahnamPersia]

Fucking hate these fan videos who everything in it happens just like the song says!

Be more creative!

[TheKaizen101]

@ShahnamPersia I feel a comment on your English coming up. Anyway, why the hating, just don't watch.

It;s not like the poster doesn't know.

[ShahnamPersia]

@TheKaizen101 " I feel a comment on your English coming up"???? I don't get it.

Why the hating? cause it says Music video and There I was hoping to see if there was a real one!

and my post dates back to 10 month ago and I didn't know what was your comment referring to until I got to the video. I didn't even know I've got thumbs up for it. So just get a life and move on.

[MrWhitedogs]

One of the best songs ever

[hawki1847]

i love when he says "you write such pretty words" ... its the best part of the song <3 <3

[Janzaofosho]

@purpletycoon I personally believe he is referring to a prostitute rather than a one night stand, but it doesn`t make much of a difference...

[KateMcCC]

@purpletycoon hahaha the lyrics arn't exactly vague

[hazillow]

@purpletycoon thanks for the analysis. you figure all of this out by your little lonesome?

[52nuck]

@purpletycoon welll no shit !!!!! damn but hey it tells my life well my weekends

[HallucinAnonymous]

this is fun~

[SimplyShadow]

one of the greatest songwriters

[FangzLette114]

song=good

video=corny but good ^_^

[BenUriyahMay]

This video is pretty cool. The only thing that would have made it completely badass, would to have been if all the violence and fighting were real, and there was some fucking blood!!! I want to fuck a girl to this song, and I'm not a violent man, but I want to get physical. Conor you're crazy.

[Broccolious]

good amateur video, there is major potential. i just felt there was something missing, too choreographed and the synchronized dancing just made it lose its credibility for me a little and took away from the song's originality. maybe more spontaneity or if it was less literal.... or just less rehearsed. but it still gets 5/5 for the effort and intended inspiration of the video

[irelynnnicole]

i love this video

[law6107e]

whoa this is so good.

[MickandNick]

Nice :) I like it alot.

[Shaprika]

People are pretty fucking stupid. This video was executed beautifully, especially the parts with the crack snorting and the synchronized dancing. I'd like to see the vids the shit talkers made... Oh wait, they didn't. 5/5

[hxscene27]

@Shaprika You can't snort crack lol.

[Shaprika]

@hxscene27 I'm drug-retarded x_x thanks for letting me know, haha. Next, people will be drinking weed. Cheers =)

[alphaotakux]

GREAT VID

[avlver]

i like all of it

[JoeEdwardz]

great video. people may not say it's great but that's only because they're used to videos by the top editors, the expensive cameras, the top directors. I see loads of potential for this be such an amateur video!

[IceColdKiss]

Memories <3

[someasshole100]

wow that was very good

[RAVENFUKKYESS]

it was a good idea yall had for the video,

but what can you expect. its not professional so no one likes it. but good attempt.

[HyphyChico420]

im not sorry, but this is awful. always has been an amazing song, horrible video.

[TheTalkingDoorknob]

that was so bad it was painful to watch

[TheRogy13]

I think it's interesting. I wonder what everyone's different versions of this video would look like.

[Musicjunkie39]

Yeah this is really bad :/

[electrofunkednl]

lol, i want to direct them!!!

[katelovesyou666]

way too literal.

[Amandabearish]

im sure you did. :/

[xoxTheKillerAnnaxox]

I liked it

[heyheyitsmj]

This is a very literal interpretation of the song, to me.

[MrsBrightside8792]

O.O

Wow...

[songswritten]

Was this filmed in downtown Charlottesville, VA? I'm from there!! The "fist fight" scene looked like it was outside Gravity Lounge! haha

[anthftskk]

this is cool

[groundwork121]

Nope. The video was prettyyy bad.

[nelson581]

great song, worst video ever

[FreeTheMooMoos]

Nice rendition (:

[theamazinglynn]

i rather like the video, i think it was well done

[forgive17]

I'm pretty sure this song is about scoring drugs with a girl and having a drug filled night.

[pogoghost]

not totally how i imagined it but it's an interesting take on the song

[elviscake]

not energy and really flat. and bad lightning, and bad actors, cheap, blablabbla etc.

[kstarBAM]

@elviscake "Bad actors with.. bad habits" - Bright Eyes

[emocore139]

great video. you did a good job!

[lovesick1049]

okay, so the guy in this is so smokinnn, like, hes the hottest guy ive ever seen. ~xoxo

[The1DayeV]

Damn straight, Socalthemoon. Brett, you did one hell of a job doing this. I know it took tonnes of editing to get this done & anyone who didn't like it... what can you do? Again, great job.

[noreturn1]

life's no storybook............

[11athercha]

Damn straight!!! way to pick up on the most profound line of the song. well they're all so profound.

[MrsAliciaWentz]

ill always love this song and band :)

[LoewSusan]

at first when i saw this i was like; oh whoa is that conor

'cause the guy looked a lot like him from behind, and he walked like conor does. but this is a neet video, but it's hard to put a picture to this song! none the less a video, but you did very well =)

[shwuhhhsam]

how the hell do you know how he walks??

[macauleymcCulkin]

good acting

[tvmebaby]

it wasnt bad but, i thought it was a bit to literal. Maybe some closups and obscurities would have helped. Needed some emotion, no?

[kyosgirllucky13]

love the song the vid must have taken foeve and i can tell you tried so high five but i think you could have done a little better with your script thingy but that fine

[fuzzyroses13]

wow i thought this vid was pretty good and the dancing sceen was wicked lovely

[socalthemoon]

Guys it says in the description he used the lyrics as a script. God quit being so harsh it was a good video.

[IpodTouchAidTeam]

Killed it..

[Darkness113]

WAYYY TO LITERAL.

[renatadevin]

Thanks for being able to read lyrics to literaly!

[MaszaByMe]

oh, god!!! Such a dreadful video...Don`t do it anymore, please. Omg....Its look like a latine soap opera.

[xxvampgoth91xx]

It's..ok, considering it is done with a small budget..but otherwise..you translated the song too literally, and that is why several degrade the video.

[MysticGrant]

Probably the worst thing I've ever seen. Kinda embarassing.

[aplemank19]

thanks for the perfectly literal interpretation

[randiiXrawr]

hahaha, wanna video? tape me and my bf's life.

[nikkyv203]

moulin rouge -esque

[jillfrostxx]

wheres the sense of desperation?

the characters were all so ordinary.. the whole point of the song is that it's about emotionally unstable and damaged people.

i thought the vid itself was pretty well made though :)

[nikkyv203]

Didn't know a damaged individual had a specific look ;-)

[spaceanimal19]

the problem is not that the video isn't pro... the problem is that it is uncreative and misses the point of the song

[NesaMerina]

this is dumb

[teocherub]

Fail.

[BrightEyesMGO]

lol

this is just too well done

its stupid

[smarlasmarlov]

hahaha the worse video ever! omg

[magicalmalu]

I just love the song title, Lover I don't have to love

[Cinderandsmokeable]

yeh, i admire your dedication, and it's a great great song.

the concept is pretty neat too.

:D

[SailTheCosmos]

you have to love ths song, you feel it you know

[aargreendaybillie]

the video is just veryyy amateur. definitly not what i got out of the song. conor is saying he is too emotionally damaged to love, so you got parts backwards

[MissMarie254]

This vid is amazing for not being pro. People should stop being such perfectionist

[TheBILL171]

good song, shitest video ever seen

[dapokey]

i actually liked how you choreographed this video. Some of the parts were....bad acting, but nothin's perfect.

[SwaggERINGprod]

I personally thought this was amazing. It was a really good literal translation and was very dedicated. PROPS!!!<333

LOVE this song. niceee, nicee video.

[connorjnatella]

You have to admire the dedication the lads put into this, it could have been better but im not sure its as bad as people are saying. saying that.... it's 3 mnutes 59 i'll never get back...

[Allan3cho]

Terrible. Just, absolutely dreadful. If you're in film school or something, drop out and do us all a favor.

[VivaLaDodis]

The dancers/video/sound quality/editing are less than mediocre at the best.

Sorry.

Bright Eyes is the only good thing about this video.

[1love0]

i don't think it's terrible but it's really...how can i put it....like whitebread and a little juvenile whereas the song itself is raw and gritty. two different worlds

[Kasidy0]

LOL :)) HOW the hell to play every WORD in this song ?! :)) AWFUL, more than horrible... I don`t think that you, guyz have understood the message ... :)) lol, don`t ever try o do this again...

[thestrokes35]

i dont like it

[blackroses1338]

Don't hate ya'll. This film stuff is way harder than most people think. It was a good job. And dancing is also harder than people seem to think. They weren't nearly as bad as they could have been lol.

[spidersonlsd]

Well this song was about drugs.....but good try.

[ReaperofLight00]

and sex.

[omfgxwhore]

Songs are open to the interpretation of the listener.

[wizardofroz86]

they even dance bad badly

[mymikeywayromance]

dude that's amazing! awesome job ^^

[TeenageDeathGirl337]

i forget if I commented on this video already, but I wanted to say i don't agree with the people that don't like the video. I thought it was pretty moving especially for someone who's not a professional

[pysogat]

awful

really awful/

[Panicathedisco117]

Really cool video and plus I live two blocks away from where they're filming those outdoor scenes.

[00Starr]

i think your film was AMAZING for an amateur! to take all the time to choreograph a dance, get all the people together... not sure if you used movie maker or imovie but that was good framework. of course the cameraman wasnt really on spot.... but really, for your efforts and talent level it was really super good!

[coolpopular4life]

it's random....

and i don't get it!!!!!!

[xKristinTMTHx]

You did an amazing job.

[2pac32789]

i love this song, probably way too much - but im sorry, the creator of this video failed, it's completely unoriginal. take note, if you don't have professional equipment, actors, or dancers, you take the time to prepare the movie - especially the shots. the cinematography was thrown together, no preparation and thus no emotion in the shots. it bored me. it could have been great, but where's the passion?

[QWERTYUIPMNJKIP]

yeah same here.

actors wherent that good, but c'mon give him credit atleast he tried..

[sethsique]

The dude did a literal translation of the song. It honestly wasn't that bad. They may not have captured Conor's true meaning behind it, but they weren't shooting for that.
