Nickel Creek - Reasons Why

[bleedlakerspng]

Why was this not a bigger mainstream success?

[SonshineGirls]

i can't wait to cover this, my dads gonna play guitar with it :)

[redone2422]

They are incredible..so soulful.

[milesthemelonator]

the guitar solo after the first chorus is unreal

[ValdesP100]

Very talented young people. Sara is very beautiful in a very unique way.

[CYCLEUPHILL]

I miss this band.

[longbeachdirtbag]

Her voice is like silk had an affair with honey.

[expressjenns]

this song = amazing. it gives me a feel :' )

[DreamChemistryMusic]

Love It!

[carlosalbo2]

censilla,discreta,sutil,etc,et­c... muy buena!!

[georgiaboy27]

I miss the sound of them together.........still have them individually at least.....

[scar4711]

@georgiaboy27 Just got to see them last week in Works Progress Administration.. well.. at least the Watkins :)

[hazelioness]

It may sound awful of me to say, but I'm glad they aren't as well known as the crap we usually hear. Good songs end up over-played and start feeling like less of a treat to listen to.

[cooliscool]

Simply beautiful. Nothing like it in the world. In awe.

[mommavan09]

Not sure if this song was meant to have a religous/spirtual tone to it but it speaks to me in that way. I was very angry with God for a long time after my infant daughter died. I chose not to have a relationship with him and in a way I miss that spiritual connection. I'm not so angry these days but I still have a lot of trouble trusting in a "higher Power". This song really addresses that whole issue for me. An amazing song by amazing artists. Thank you!

[cooliscool]

@mommavan09

Beautiful lyrics are intentionally ambiguous. I'm atheist, and the song speaks to me on many personal levels.

[kabodkhwaamkhid]

@cooliscool Well said. Good lyrics are those that may be interpreted a number of ways. Though this song may (or may not, we do not know) have underlying themes pertaining to God and Christianity the lyrics are thus that those who are looking for that message will see it whereas those who may be looking for some other meaning will also find it. Beautiful song.

[VocalsByLocals]

insanely magical

[DeviantFormula]

You'll struggle the tough fight, but dont give up!

[neohxc]

I LOOOOOOOVE this song!

[beaughn]

None of the music they have made is the same since they stopped playing together. They need to get back together and start making amazing music again.

[Puckett57]

@beaughn

I disagree, I really really like Punch Brothers!

[fergotten25]

Im so lucky I was able to see their farewell for now tour. It was also first band that I ever got to see live that I loved. !

[kirauchiha12344]

I was going to sing this with a friend......but he killed himself....... :(

[whole27]

@kirauchiha12344 i've been considering the same thing a lot lately. WHy did he kill himself?

[joshsegur1]

@whole27 I read your profile description, I don't know you but our viewpoints are one in the same and the world needs logical people like us. Society can't afford to lose a skeptical being such as yourself. You know there is no eternity, no heaven; why waste your life when you have the potential to change the minds of people? Don't do it.

[Pielicker244]

she's fucking gorgeous

[organicearth405]

This group has amazing talent. And from ones so young. This is what should be showcased as talent as opposed to the flavor of the month who have so much additions to their voice so as to not be able to know what the singer sounds like. This sound is rich and pure.

[m3li55a5t33l]

she sounds a lot like allison krauss :)

[squiresam]

@m3li55a5t33l probably because Alison Krauss trained her

[myorangeplanet]

heck, I’ll put up w/ Vevo ads if it means seeing / hearing vids like this. I love this song.

[Swimmerandskier]

ha. one dislike. wow

[mshellcurtis]

DANG YOU TEVO and your ads

[sunnygiraffe]

I hate it that band like this is not showed in the media and sb like lady gaga is!!! that's not fair:/

[Shokara2]

@sunnygiraffe How true is that statement!!! Great bands like this be featured ... not people behave so badly just to get their 15 mins...

[Mawykins]

@sunnygiraffe yeah. you have to look hard for true good music like this.

[happycar21]

@sunnygiraffe Well part of te reason is that their broken up haha, but i know what you mean!

[TheAnticapitor]

@sunnygiraffe In case you haven't noticed, MOST commercial record labels play music they want you to hear (which is mostly crap music). You must discover good music on your own. I think Lady Gaga looks like Marilyn Manson dressed in drag.

[casualerror1]

I miss this band so much...

[bendavis83]

Why did EMI post this? I mean Nickel Creek is with Sugar Hill, which is part of Welk Music. It doesn't make sense for EMI to post it.

[nofear04]

@bendavis83 EMI and Welk Music made a deal for digital distro of their music. Good eye, tho. Vaguely remember seeing that deal go down 3 yrs ago.

[michellemonize]

I totally forgot about this band. Wish they were still putting good harmonies out like this out.

[abejlt]

get the band back together. dont be like the eagles and try. sara they need you

[3080tsf]

Sara Watkins' voice is angelic to say the least.

[Hollywoman1]

I stumbled across this band they are amazing

[Hollywoman1]

I stumbled across this band they are amazing

[Hollywoman1]

I stumbled across this band they are amazing

[JOSHUAK71]

I got to see Nickle Creek in concert and then Sara in Louisville Ky a few years ago both were in small theater type venues which had awesome acoustics.... Sara performed Reasons Why "un plugged" at the request of the audience towards the end of the show...so absolutely beautiful...her, the music, the voice. I hope they come back to So. Indiana or the Louisville area again! You shouldnt miss the opportunity to hear them in person. The Farewell for now tour was amazing...and Sara's tour was 2

[aisjam14]

well lets get a petition going im in western australia , im come for a tour and couple of cold ones , aussie dollar is strong ..

[MrIdontseewhynot]

some of the best music to grace these two ears of mine

[aisjam14]

ahead of their time , pete from perth western australia

[yaoifansista]

they should have a really really really really like button

[Sean3339]

@yaoifansista

I couldn't have said it better. lol

Got a chance to see their "Farewell for Now" tour w/Fiona Apple, in Philly. Utterly amazing!

[6werty2]

I just listened to this song today for the first time. Now I'm hooked for good.

[gigi8ish]

i love that song!

[schmes10]

the harmonies here are amazing,,,,, tears in my eyes!

[scorpio11778]

Why did they break up ?

[ImThePutz]

A few years ago my wife told me she had tickets to see these guys in concert. Now, I tend to go and see bands like Linkin Park and so on in concert, but I tell you this band REALLY moved me. It was the BEst concert I have ever seen hands down. I really really miss them.

[derekdamnit]

seriously sara watkins is so fuckin sweet not to take anything from the rest of the band

[NinjaSakura]

They split up a long time ago, over 3 years... I saw them perform 4/5 years ago the siblings were already separating themselves then... the whole festival only the main guy really involved himself in anything.

[tiffro]

what happened to them? did they split up? when?

[yardsalemama]

this song is so simple and perfect, but theres enough meaning behind the words to knock the wind out of you....

[ChuckSC1982]

I miss this band as well. GREAT MUSIC

[johnsons4321]

I am going to marry chris thile

[MRfartface77]

what a voice!!

[BlackFrostFire101]

@nkredskin

You almost ruined them for me...

Now when i listen to their wonderful music, i think of that awful movie.

[Zimah1]

love this song.. these three are so talented! and I love the song they did w/ Fiona Apple

[twilightfan1684]

how old's this song?

[derekecornelius]

comment removed

[tarooch74]

Wow... say's it all but sounds so beautiful xox

[toddster812]

Like honey it never gets old. I came in after working 3rd shift one morning and just happened to check CMT to see if one of those dixie chick videos was on. Then I hear this incredible song and video. I went to the music store and had to order it. Just absolutely amazing. The whole record just blows me away.

[littlebigplanetgame2]

wait they broke up???? Sad!!!!

[mjbab73]

Met Sara after her show in New Haven two months ago. Literally stood 6 feet away from her (Didn't mean to be a stalker, it was a small club) through the whole show. She's is SO perfect live, singing and playing...I's scary!!! She was very sweet and talked for a while with me after the show. Truth is, I don't dig much bluegrass, but love Nickel Creek and her voice gives me goosebumbs. Search "Sara Watkins Nashville (9/21/09)" here on YT... Guarantee it'll give you quivers.

[Reane67]

They wrote this song about me........

[QBPenguin]

these guys are simply amazing writers

[thanksbiff]

Her voice is so soft and simple. Listen to Sabra Girl... ugh. Love Sara!

[308Ethan270]

man i wish i could find a women like sarah watkins she can sing and she's asolutely beautiful

[dbosch123]

would love to see this group get back together, their style of music would be a welcome change from endless stream of pop music that is taking over the world :P

[OleBlues]

There Music is timeless...It will be around 100 years from now...people will be saying they were genius.........

[Dragon83527]

This was the first song I ever heard from Nickle Creek, and I've been a fan ever since. Sara's voice is beautiful.

[Aidensmama1106]

lol why does everything have to be about religion. They are talented, its a good, song....just sit back and enjoy =)

[alzelonka]

I love Nickel Creek!! Hope they get back together soon.

[socialdistortion77]

@alzelonka Chris has a new band now, Punch Brothers, I don't know if you've heard them. If you haven't, you should check them out...they're pretty good, but they're no Nickel Creek lol.

[justinrizzi837]

@socialdistortion77 they blow nickel creek out of the water musically.. but they don't have the same accessible feel that nickel creek does i suppose.

[socialdistortion77]

@justinrizzi837 I agree...Punch Brothers, to me, is a completely different style though. Nickel Creek is/was more of a mellow kind of folk than Punch Brothers. They never did garner the credit they deserved when they were together, and given the current trends in music, definitely would not now, unless they used a drum machine and an auto tune.

[Primoxapien]

Mmh, magnificent. I'm adding this song to my collection of beautiful atheist music.

[mjbab73]

@Primoxapien atheist?

[Primoxapien]

@mjbab73 "there's no sign of you"

"It's hard not to wander away"

The writers of this song may be Christian, by the message speaks loudly to atheism. The only difference between these talented Nickel Creekers and an atheist is that an atheist doesn't believe, and so titles himself by his disbelief. What unites Christians is there doubt, not their faith; It's what unites skeptics and "believers" alike.

[SuperShellythe2nd]

Love it.

[EmeraldIncantations]

Such a beautiful song. I love the mood of the video as well. :)

[appollyon25]

i swear a girl could look like a cow but if she had her voice i would marrie her

[Harpbongo]

Beautiful song, Beautiful Video!

[TheNovemberdays]

love the band love the song

[bd1655]

Does anyone know what kind of mandolin does Chris play? I can never get a good look at the headstock. Love to know.

[firlit14]

i love it how relaxed sean is during the solo. Man i wish i had his skills

[bd1655]

these guys have been playing together sence they were 7 . they probaly just need a break!!

[outlaw8228]

everyone should stop focusing on them getting back together and focus on the gifts they have already given us

[outlaw8228]

this song is amazing! makes me cry everytime i hear it. very moving!

[ovenmanbutt]

I agree they should definitely have a reunion tour...  I would pay good money to see them perform...

[doubledbarf]

Even if they don't get back together, why not a Reunion tour?? If it's good enough for relic's like the stones, why not these kids? I'd gladly spent a couple hundred (or more)to be able to take my daughter to see them perform.

[wouldbutcher]

To Nickel Creek: Give me 10 reasons why you shouldn't get back together

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

Mmm.......she has a great voice. And she's very pretty. Great music, great playing....man, I wish they were still together. :(

[neilwetmore]

she literally is the most wholesomely beautiful woman i have seen on youtube

[EtherArchive]

Does anybody know if Sara Watkins is the same girl that sings with Jonny Lang in " Only a Man"?

[simonemotta]

This is a very special music to me. And this CD is amazing. The sad part is that I never got to see them playing live...

[danceraustx]

I remember seeing them for the first time on a filming of Austin City Limits. They played right after Dolly Parton: whom was the reason I was there to watch. However, I have to say as much as I love Dolly, Nickel Creek is the group that made a huge impact on me. Such amazing talent! I hate to see the brilliance fade, but I, at least, have their CDs to continue the rush of brilliance over and over again!

[OneLoveItaly]

Damn that girl is fucking hot and this band rules! They are all imensely talented. peace

[ThaFunnyGuy]

Forget the petition...they broke up for a reason...like my other favorite band Dispatch....being together for so long...we have to remember that these artists are people too!

[siouxsiezque]

I listened to this band whilst driving all over North America...it's great driving music. I LOVE their harmonies, the strings, the lyrics...and I'm not really into to this sort of music as a regular rule....this is just special....they'll do a reunion at some point...you'll see...

[CrankyScientist]

Sometimes the sum of a set is greater than math would lead us to think. Nickel Creek is one of those times.

[elizebethjames]

i'll join the petition!

[1nicawilly]

can we get up a petition to get these three back together....

[nyx1331]

i'd sign that petition...hell, i'd sign that petition several times if it'd get them back together...a fantastic group...i'm just glad that i got to see them so many times when i was younger.

[Dragon83527]

@1nicawilly I think it has to be their choice, but I would love to see them together again.

[littlebigplanetgame2]

@1nicawilly i agree everyone should

[AnAmelieAnomaly]

@1nicawilly They're just on hiatus aren't they?

[Fo0O0oTBall]

@1nicawilly

No but we can hold a national wide referendum and force the government to put em back together again through militarism.

[plightman]

@1nicawilly Nickel Creek is going back on tour started today actually. Oct 1st.  So Joy joy :)

[shannonwh3]

@plightman Actually, they are touring separately starting Oct 1...Sarah is solo, Chris with the Punch Brothers and Sean with WPA...but they are not broken up, just on hiatus....or so they say.

[alphawolf83]

@plightman lies!

[Sean3339]

@1nicawilly

You write it, I'll sign it!

[jusmihere]

I seen them live 6 years ago , and they are just as good live!

Miss them!

[GulfCoastTiger]

If not better :)!

[cincygurl]

This song is absolutely amazing...I really miss this band. Never received the recognition and attention they should have.

[PeaceGirl7100]

I don't know why, but I think the guitarist is sexy...

[LIGHTMASON]

love lost, love lost.

[tabwyo]

Great song............

[CutestHeidi]

I feel like this song is about my life, such a good song

[LIGHTMASON]

me too.

[musicgirl933]

I LOVE THIS SONG!! :D

[rlsahr10]

Captivating

[felldownonce1]

I ran out and bought their CD the same day I saw the video.

I love that your can't pigeon hole this band. They are unique and true to themselves.

[dufusbug]

I cannot agree with you any more about pidgeon holing Nickel Creek...

[natemike94]

awesome!!! awesome!!!!!!!!!

[chessmeister]

Glad Chris grew his hair out :-)

Great song.

[niloko16]

wat jammer dat hun concerten in ned en belgie niet doorgaan, vandaag de hele dag op mijn i-pod en het verveeld niet !

[tyguy11213]

1:29 great solo

[whybenormal4you]

Hey Amy this song is for you - love Craig :) xoxo

[whybenormal4you]

I was just sending her the link to listen to it geesh people!

[huntercentury]

Simply the best song Nickel Creek has ever done. Beautiful, haunting and powerful. Shame that EMI chose to compress the audio so that it sounds like it's coming through a 99 cent radio playing through a drinking straw.

Get the CD, it sounds GLORIOUS.

[Toimzeta]

Muito bom o som de vocês. Adorei essa sonoridade calma e simples.

Very God your sound. I liked this sonority with a simple sound.
