[slingingofstars69]

"all your words of comfort cannot take away my doubt but I've decided if it kills me ill find out what your about" best lyric ever.

[TheJennykay21]

[allofmylightisforyou]

i only wish lord huron had more music available. it's so unique, unlike so much else i hear these days, and it's incredibly atmospheric and evocative.

this song is made up of a million tiny little bits of magic. i absolutely love it.

[NonSilentKiller]

Jefferson Jones as The Shooter, another guy who happens to be a great singer.

[michellemay007]

Its amazing how the vocals sound like instruments, love this song

[HooooooT13]

this song is magical!! 

[EssOak]

brilliant and beautiful...moves me to my soul.

[SunSmellsTooLoudgr]

more than half the views have got to be mine...such a dreamy song

[wolfgang28685]

This is such a good song!!!

[muzboz]

Too long, didn't watch.

[Pheonix6149]

@muzboz all that says is impatience and no taste

[WestOzRaw]

@muzboz

cool story bro, you should publish a book about that shit

[muzboz]

@WestOzRaw I just thumbs up'd your comment. Is that wrong? Na, it's a cool clip, and a really nice song. A friend sent me here, and I was not in the mood at the time. His links always disappoint me.  I'm sorry I snapped. :)

[WestOzRaw]

 happens to the best of us :) and glad to see you appreciate good music

[nimrodel121]

I'm totally loving this band, kinda reminds me of a Sigor Ros album that I adore! Keep it coming...!

[willystylee]

"hipsters" "scene kids" "ballers"

All just labels we really don't need. Perpetuate them if you must but it gets you nowhere

[wolvereeenman]

Happens to be my cousin who plays in this band. Very talented.

[msalanad]

I saw these guys perform two nights ago. They blew me away and they were a band mate short. Now I can't get their music out of my head.

[justinmechanic17]

@msalanad I know they played at my museum. The Getty Center. There amazing

[brianrmullenbach]

If I'm not mistaken, this was probably shot on the shores of Lake Huron. No?

[breakfasttomorrow]

i love killing people.

[djloki6227]

chill kidkobu, they're just high...  lighten up

[eliz0991]

@kittykittylickpurr there's obviously a deeper meaning than "hipsters playing in the snow" and what does it matter where they're going? not every music video has to have a literal meaning.

[buddhabellysmum]

@eliz0991

hasn't anyone read The Stranger!?

[noonerLV05]

@buddhabellysmum Exactly. Which reminds me of that Cure song "Killing an Arab".

[allofmylightisforyou]

@buddhabellysmum indeed, i've read it.

[ApexWon]

Playing in the snow is fun....

[localnatiive]

so so good! the lyrics are perfect, and the music XD

[GarebearluvsBMX]

Here's what I took from the video. The two travelers killed a man or lost a friend and departed. Traveler 1 sees the dead man repeatedly because his conscious is tearing at him because of the deed he has done. Eventually, driven by deliriousness, he sees traveler 2 as the dead traveler and kills him to rid his guilty conscious. That's it. Simple as that folks. It's not that "deep".

[breakfasttomorrow]

@GarebearluvsBMX Dude, you're actually proving that it IS deep, by explaining that. Thats your perception of the video, and if a video can cause someone to have a personalized perception of its meaning is totally deep.

[GarebearluvsBMX]

@breakfasttomorrow oh.. well it's art. that's for sure. it has it's own meaning, or lack thereof, for everyone. "deep" is a dumb term

[clone104d]

I'd love to comment on my immense appreciation for the song, and all the artistic influences I feel when watching it too...but all I can think about is how I want a pair of glasses like that one traveler.

[CRShepherd1980]

There is a live version of this song on the Paste sight that is just fantastic.

[subpink]

He couldn't accept the harsh reality, and he struck out against his fellow man. I think there's a lesson here for all of us.

[subpink]

"I can't trust anyone or anything these days."

I think this is a great video. I look at the snow as representative of a harsh world. Three guys set out to travel through this world, but one of them dies. The other two have to move on to survive. One guy can't move past his friend's death. The other guy tries to tell him it's okay, builds him a fire when he's cold, cares for him. But the harshness of the world drives him mad, he doesn't trust it'll be okay, and he accidentally shoots him.

[kittykittylickpurr]

i dont get it..where were they going in the first place? it seems just like a bunch of hipsters playing in the snow to me.

[kris242]

God this song is so fantastic. It brings me so much joy and peace listening to it. These guys so so innovative with their music style. I've never heard anything like this in rock/pop music before. I love the Asian influence.

[johnporten]

@kidkobu

Hard to see why the joy someone else finds in looking for influence and history in art should ruin it for you. If it really does, I can't see you caring about art for long.

[s0alaih]

@johnporten I hear ya, don't let 'em get you down.

[johnporten]

I thought the video complimented the song nicely. In addition to strong echoes of Poe and Sophocles, the ghost reminded my Spencer's Red Cross Knight. It gives the sense that there are a lot of layers to unpack here, which is good to see in a music video.

[kidkobu]

@johnporten

ugh......really?

why do people have to ruin art by making pseudo intellectual bullshit comments.

the only unpacking I would suggest are the layers of crap you happen to be full of.

[willystylee]

@kidkobu How are they ruining it?

[kaberg92]

I Love the Hunters (because i assume They are hunters) fashion sense!! :P

[inigomontoya88]

crummy video...which is a shame because the song is a beaut

[ourhands]

so beautiful! 

[leeeeembk1]

yes!

[harrymuse]

Wonderful!
