  • I thought the video was matched well with the somber mood of the music. I also see a strange beauty in older, run down buildings/homes.

  • giving you reason

     why they didn't hire you

  • The american unemployed have to start to fight back, the government and the human resources dept. did you know that the human resources dept. that hires people for a company discriminates people every day! they will smile at you and tell you well? i'll let you know by such a date and time if you got the job and never call you back or tell you well? we will Lett you know if you are hired and never do something wrong with that picture. The human resources dept. will lie to your face without.

  • jobs are outdated people time for revolution. Then we create our own jobs.

  • ME TO...THAT'S SUCKS

  • I dont get why people complain about their lives on youtube, do you want a thumbs up and a pat on the back.

  • Flint? That's funny. unemployed and underpaid describes the whole town

  • So many people hurting in this world ....i wish i could take away all their pain,but no...it is GOD's job. This world will end one day...thankfully...

  • @markantonymcwhorter Amen! I agree.

  • If you are unemployed how do you afford all the booze and cigerettes and being unemployed doesn't mean you have to let your life environment go to shit. I'm unemployed and can still clean up after myself and take a shower and shave.

  • I can totally relate to this video.  The music's really good.

  • Comment removed

  • I am pregnant and just lost a stupid job at a grocery store, but at least it was a JOB. I was getting sick so often I couldn't make it. I feel terrible because while I was working there, I continuously went on job interviews at a local hospital for which I have experience, and no job offers. It feels like my spouses small income is not enough and we'll be homeless...this economy sucks.

  • Hi,

    I remember from a couple of years ago that you used to have a video of a man coming home from work and drinking several glasses of water. Recently I was reminded of it and wanted to see it, but I notice its not up anymore. Is there anywhere I can still see it?

  • i was unemployed for 2 years now,even god could not help me so i try to make myself fuck up

  • u.s.a unemployment rate just gets worse,its not as good as it used to be

  • guaaaaajajajajaa....tomalo con Humor.-

  • Unemployed in month 8 myself. Or is it month 9? Doesn't really matter. They are foreclosing on my house soon. Thanks for the film.

  • are you serious ? man sorry to hear about your home. im going through a near eviction soon and im grinding my teeth every night ..........sigh

  • i utterly love this film. there's something so simple about it. makes me miss the midwest.

  • Must be one of Sufjan Stevens' best songs. Beautifully depressing. Like the video too.

  • creepy and not funny. this makes you wanna hurt people...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhh

  • after looking for a job for a month or so and getting behind in all your bills and worring about loosing every thing you have worked hard and long for it is easy to fall into a depression where you no longer can do anything

  • a month? that's nothing I was out of work for over 9 months before I found a job and I still survived. You can always do something... join a temp agency go on welfare get help from your family.take a job waiting tables or cleaning toilets if you are THAT desperate for money. You're gonna have to take any job that comes your way.

  • To clarrify I was not talking about myself.

    Just trying to say that everyones situation is different and some people don't handle it well and get physically ill from small amounts of stress. Others can move on easily no matter what. We are all different and need to have some compassion for others and not judge.

  • A lot of times they are just being drama queens if you ask me.

    Being unemployed is not a death sentence

  • On here-- sure. Ain't that kinda what it's about?

  • My husband was raised by his grandparents. His grandfather died when he was around 14.He started working on a boat, when he was not in school. Graduated high school started working for local small contractor. Worked for him for NINETEEN years. When he left he was making 17 an hour no benifits any over time was supposed to be banked for time off lmfao never happened.

  • Got a better offer,took it. Now making 20 an hour full benifits company truck. Im working, making good money. We buy a house, new car (we've earned it?).I get sick, 2 months in hospital. Then he gets permanent lay off after 7 years on this job cause they aint doing building anymore just

    site work.

  • O.K.Another job for him 18 an hour no benifits--both off us needing medical care. He has copressed disks from all this HARD work.last 2 years he has been layed off 6 months and is now layed off AGAIN! So, not a death sentence but say goodbye to everything he has work VERY HARD AND LONG for.

  • I am married with 2 kids and a house and :

    LAID OFF. The scariest thing is not knowing when I will (if ever) be called back to work. 9 years of seniority and a stable life- now in question.

  • All I can say in join the group and best of luck to you and all of us.

  • I've been there. It will come right in time. Best wishes.

  • Sorry about my previous comment...I really like your video. Connects with song beautifully.

  • this make you just want to help people...

  • well done. Way to make something of your time away from work.

  • Considering he hasn't got a job and he's got all that spare time, He should tidy up a little....Great song nice video

  • wow, it's really good. i'm also unemployed and it's a shitty feeling.

  • how old are you?

  • 23 but i'm working now. i'm thankful everyday that i have a job.

  • awesome work. goes along with the song perfectly.

  • Dude good job, That was actually a good shortfilm you don't need a script to show meaning. Thumbs up

  • I aint got a job...my boss made me redundant

  • yeah well go to flint i was born there and this song is not really a joke

  • Very nice.

  • I like this video, you captured the feel of the song realy

  • Very good job. I love Sufjan Stevens a ton, and Flint fit that video perfectly. It made the video pretty depressing. I guess being unemployed can be a bit depressing. Again, really nice job.

  • nice video, loved some of those angles

  • I like the music. Who is it? Also....MT! ha ha, how funny! I used to live there. It's funny to me now to see it after being in NYC so long.

  • I don't know why, but just watching you sit there on an ugly couch eating a sandwich is hilarious. I have no clue how you made it so hilarious. Whatever. Good job.

  • Thanks for the inspiration.

  • ^^^ thats me actually ^^^

  • one of my favorite songs... added to the sufjan group!

  • That was the most random movie I have ever seen on youtube. Good job.

  • You have the amazing ability to make what could be the most boring sh8t watchable and interesting. Still waiting to see your next full production... Peace.
