  • In my mind, the video is different.........but the audio is classic.  clearly an amazing song I've loved for a very long while.

  • Great video. Thanx. I am doing a 100 year compilation for an idea, and this was my first addition. I think i will leave it here as my front video.

  • Did that farmer guy try to avoid a nuclear blast by diving under his tractor? Who bombs farmland / how is getting chewed up by your tractor going to help that? O yea good music btw.. but seriously that tractor thing is messing with me

  • I WANNA SEE IT WHEN YOU FIND OUT WHAT COMETS, STARS, AND MOONS ARE ALL ABOUT

  • good job on the video

  • guys i have a funny joke- Justin Beiber

  • ELLIOTT SMITH BROUGHT ME HERE! <3

  • the best song of my early twenties? Ty BTS

  • The most amazing thing is that he can't read music.

  • For improved listening, listen to this after you've been awake for 24+ hours. Feels good, for some reason. My head is heavy, and as I sway it back and forth to the beat of this song, I feel like I could fall out of this body.

  • I was hip before it was hip.

  • bruh almost 800k views this cannot even be called hipster, so gtfo with that hipster shit, and stop trying to put everything into a category. Just enjoy.

  • ok so wait. let me get this strait. if built to spill was mainstream then they would be sellouts... but if they stay underground then they would be some hipster loving band... so either way they cant win... THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE MUSIC INDUSTRY! as far as im concerned, every time people argue about stupid shit, instead of just listening to it... music dies just a little bit more... so thank you for killing music... just shut up and listen... BUILT TO SPILL IS AMAZING... end of story

  • wtf is a hipster?

  • Niggas we all hipsters.

    Dun gives shits, people sux dix and butts and nuts.

  • @Carsthatdontgo Lol! We're all hipsters here.

  • @Carsthatdontgo

    Yer spaekign ghetto ironically!!1!1!!!one!eleven!!­!1!

  • @Carsthatdontgo I laughed, I cried, you changed my fcking life

  • @Carsthatdontgo I AM OFFENDED BY YOUR LANGUAGE SIR!

  • @DiscoFascist

    Cruise control for cool.

  • "I wanna' see movies of my dreams."

    I know that feel, bro.

  • @Flea817 word. for real.

  • FWIW, '53 Ford @ 1:33, '50 Pontiac @ 1:39

  • Hipster or not, You either like it or you dont. How you dress certainly doesnt dictate the type of music you listen to. I listen to some metal, I like a lot of "chill" or chill out or whatever, I like a lot of techno, I like classic rock, and I listen to garth brooks. And sometimes I even listen to rap. It all has its elements that are appealing in different ways. Just enjoy it for what it is!

  • hit 9 to see WWI veteran Elliot Spencer -Better known as- Pinhead, as he takes his first turn at the hellraiser puzzle box. As you can see, the box originally came with a free pack of lucky strikes. "light up a lucky & send those cenobites back to hell!"

  • Is this the PSA about the dangers of nukes or syphilis. I get them mixed up lol . "when syphilis approaches, it's best to throw yourself to the ground, or hide under the bed"

  • @trashley2020 No that's how you GET syphilus or whatever. PLUS don't jump offa the tractor when it's plowing...you might get destructively plowed. (not with syphillus though, but just as deadly)

  • I wanna see this get downvoted to hell.

  • @M1asma fag

  • @MrLiquidDiamond fagx2

  • not a hipster hater, not a hipster, as a matter of fact I don't classify or categorize myself. I like music.  I like a lot of punk, hardcore, and metal, but still love built to spill, mountain goats, bright eyes, good music is good music.

  • @2992terry hipster.

  • nice car!!!!

  • can someone please explain what "hipster" means because it sounds like to me only certain people can like this music and those people consider everyone else hipsters who find these tunes delightful...i don't represent the indie scene or any scene i like many different kinds of music but then again what do i know i'm pry one of those damn hipsters!!!!!:)

  • @xDr5hakalux Whenever some retard says he likes something "ironically" and you wan't to bash his face in.. that's a hipster. Imagine something like a catatonic emo with ugly glasses and you are on the right track

  • @Wakookaka You don't have to be a hipster to like this music. And if you're a hipster you don't have to like it. Hipsterdom is not only unified by a certain taste for music. "Hipsters" don't listen to music because its indie, or unknown, they listen to the music they listen to because it stirs an emotional response. The "irony" you so ignorantly condemn is rather an attempt to expose the image-oriented, consumeristic and shallow nature of popculture.

  • such a gnarly song, g-n-a-r-l-y.

  • nice end scene!

  • love this band name

  • is there really such thing as an "indie scene"? what us that even supposed to mean?

  • Reppin the 208

  • I love this video. I like the song too, of course, but the video is something I've genuinely never seen before. Impressive!

  • @geekgrl101 "Love, Mother"

  • BTW these guys kick ass live. They played with Kings of Leon and stole the show.

  • @brocgustafson Why did they play with Kings of Leon

    Why would they do that

  • @TheMontypythonfan Because Built to Spill is a big influence to them and they asked them to go on tour with them.

  • @TheMontypythonfan because they need money just like everyone else bro

  • Video is so amazing,,,

  • way to argue about marijuana everyone, geez ruin a good thing why dont you : /

  • I wish I had been born earlier to have seen one of those shows. I'm only 16  : /

  • @boris they come from the same scene and used to play shows together back in the day...

  • the guitar work sounds like "this is a long drive for someone...." by modest mouse. agree?

  • best thing to come out of boise idaho since... anything ever

  • "A guy who needs a map" = a guy who knows where hes going (but doesnt know how to get there) i think

  • @StatuesofLichen

    its "who needs a map?"

  • the beauty of music like this is that its true and words like hipster and emo and such cannot penetrate the smile it brings to my face. no matter what.

  • this is so genuine... when indie meant something

  • I saw these guys live. Interesting performance seeings as they were all hung over and barely standing up. Especially the drummer! They were opening for KoL and the tarp covering the KoL set fell on the drummer and still finished the song! :D

  • somebody listens to pavement

  • This is matthew's song (: it's growing on me too

  • @Haydenballvideos did you know theyve been one of the most influential bands to many such as the strokes etc? and theyve been around since the 90s, theyre not some new shit indie band

  • @Haydenballvideos you dont know anything, i can tell your an american idol fan, fag.

  • great video man

  • 1337 thumbs up. Nuf said

  • Comment removed

  • @adiostraitorobama c'est la vie

  • this band is way to much talent, help discover talent ! check out my channel

  • @adiostraitorobama cool story, bro

  • i need a car!

  • i wanna see movies of MY dreams

  • Thanks for the video,and cool song

  • take the musical talents from J mascus, and the lyrical genius of Lou Reed and you'd probably get something like this.

  • I saw a clip of those announcements on tv before. The announcer guy told you to "duck & cover" under any desks or furniture when a nuke goes off. They must have built some sturdy beds back in the day.

  • i wanna see movies of my dreams <33333

  • Fantastic job on this video man.

  • I love the guy at 1:16 it looks like he charges the girl into the wall

  • life is so awesome with music

  • i remebe when i seen this band play this song opening for dinosaur jr. in glasgow. there wasnt a dry eye in the house

  • greaaat song. bump to get rid of the drivel that is written below my comment.

  • so catchy!

  • Great indie band that I discovered thanks to Modest Mouse.

  • @Happymealify me too :)

  • @Happymealify Built to Spill inspired Modest Mouse, though. Not the other way around.

  • @2biggiesmalls3 Yeah, but I discovered them because Modest Mouse got inspired by them.

  • The video of the huge flashes of light and people running and ducking for cover was a real video they showed at school to teach students how to protect themselves when there is a nuclear bomb attack. My history teacher showed it to my class a few days ago while learning about the Cold War.

  • @HitaroX you gotta stop generalizing. not all fans of built to spill or similar indie bands are hipsters. for example, hipsters have social lives. why do i bring this up? i have no friends so.....

  • @KRS1LEGEND How is this hipster when it came out over what? like 10 years ago. I love the band and song, but this is not hipster by far means.

  • @KRS1LEGEND awww, i'll be your friend haha

  • @KRS1LEGEND me too lol :)

    

  • @KRS1LEGEND respect, this is not hipster at all - its too good to be hipster

  • @KRS1LEGEND I like built to spill, and I'm definitely no hipster.

  • @KRS1LEGEND Well you seem cool so, KRS1LEGEND, i shall be your friend if you wish :D

  • Ok so you "hipster" haters, what bands do YOU like?

  • @softie0403 non-hipster bands... you /filthy hipster/

  • @softie0403 NICKLEBACK HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHD­HVI9JOJMWBOSFIJWROIGSJVOWRPKFM­BDV;O2IWTJREPGIJBPOWRIJTGPOJRE­PB9IVJEPROTNJBPOEWIFGPBJVCIQWT­HEQDPGOIVJ WPOFGI!111!

  • @qounqer hahahahahahahahahahahh YES :|

  • @softie0403 bands?? i just like lady gaga!

    if i didnt say sarcasm right here 99% of you would have lost your mind!

  • @CriMxDelAxCriM either way its not funny.

  • @KRS1LEGEND yeah I agree... I like Indie but I also like a lot of mainstream rap like Lil Wayne and Eminem and stuff. It's kind of annoying that people just assume I'm a hipster because indie's my favorite genera, but I also listen to lots of rap, metal, punk and other stuff too

  • @KRS1LEGEND true, I'm mostly rap dude but I got hooked on Built to Spill :D

  • @KRS1LEGEND i can be yo bff.

  • @KRS1LEGEND you sound pretty fucking dumb

  • @KRS1LEGEND ROFL

  • @KRS1LEGEND

    I love your name dude

  • lol, I've never found recognition for built to spill's music. Over rated???? The shows they've played in my area have been at the smallest venues. There is nothing over rated about built to spill.

  • DURRP I'M A RETARD WHO LIKES TO DISPENSE ADVICE FOR LIVING VIA YOUTUBE

    I'm all for sharing opinions, but fuckin' A you guys, can we please keep it somewhat related to the song/video?

    To follow my own advice: I love this song a lot. I first heard Jesse Lacey's cover and then I looked up the original and then I downloaded a shitload of BTS. They're so awesome.

  • @TearsAmongAshes You are a retard. Did you even read what the kid was talking about that many of us responded to? The comments are for whatever anyone wants to talk about. If someone wants to talk about rainbow colored unicorn's, then that's fine. It's your choice as to whether or not to read those comments that may not be related to the band or the video. You are getting way too worked up over something that is completely trivial.

  • @spoonhombre I have a feeling I'm wasting my time, but here goes.

    1. How do you know I was referring to you when I posted my comment? I didn't specify any particular user or comment. Glad I struck a cord, though.

    2. I don't think I was "worked up," just annoyed.

    3. You DO realize, I hope, that, with your mindset, all comments (including mine, might I add) are perfectly acceptable and justified. Which means that YOU, my friend, are getting way too worked up over something completely trivial. :-)

  • @TearsAmongAshes

    1. It's really obvious who you were talking about. There was only a couple people "dispensing advice" in the comments section, so don't even try to play lawyer ball with that. At least own up to your own words.

    2. Worked up seemed very appropriate on your 2nd to last comment. As far as your last one, see how much better you reply when you calm down.

    3. I do believe all comments are welcome, and I especially like the ones that really piss people off :)

  • @spoonhombre I'm flattered that you "especially like" my comments. Happy Mother's Day. <3

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever written

  • Don't smoke cigarttes man, you'll hate yourself for it later. If you must smoke, keep it green or keep it clean. Otherwise, not smoking anything is probably better for you.

  • @niqhtm00n smoking cigarettes is just as bad as marijuana. Just more cancerous.

  • @hihihippl no, its not.

    

  • @xjakemarinx Yeah. It is. Tobacco is filtered, regulated, and not fully inhaled. Marijuana is not. You just smoke less.

  • @hihihippl how many people has marijuana killed?

  • @xjakemarinx Listen fucktard. I'm well aware it's near impossible to OD on it. I'm saying it's not good for you. Inhaling any kind of smoke leads to cancer, emphysema, and COPD. You are clearly diluted if you think otherwise.

  • @hihihippl You clearly have not looked up any scientific information on marijuana. There has not been any evidence that smoking marijuana alone leads to cancer, emphysema, or COPD. That shit happens if you smoke cigarettes. Just because it is legal, don't think it is healthier. You are one of the many people who think our government gives a shit about our health.

  • @TheThoughtfulTrees Evidence? I would believe you if you said THC doesn't cause cancer. Of course. But smoking it, the plant, has many carcinogens in it. That is a fact.

  • @TheThoughtfulTrees Purposefully inhaling lung-fulls of any kind of smoke is bad for you. I smoke cigarettes and marijuana on occasion. It's not a matter of following the government in lock-step, it's a matter of common sense.

  • @hihihippl Smoking marijuana does not cause any form of cancer, and it has been proven scientifically time and time again. Please do a little research

  • @jgood911 That's bullshit. Bob Marley got throat cancer from smoke. I'd agree with you if you said THC alone doesn't or if you vaped it. But just the act of smoking has many carcinogens in it.

  • @hihihippl Bob Marley got cancer in his toe first and it spread through his body, it had nothing to do with smoking. Time and time again it has been proven that marijuana doesn't cause cancer

  • @jgood911 Marijuana SMOKE causes cancer.

  • @hihihippl it definitely does. i got cancer 3 times from just trying it once!

  • @hihihippl check your inbox

  • @jgood911 Smoking in general causes cancer. Please change your research material.

  • @masterb8r Please do even the tiniest bit of research and you'll see you're wrong about marijuana.

    Go read the Washington Post article Study Finds No Cancer-Marijuana Connection

  • @jgood911 I've done a bit. We had arguments about this in Nutrition class at the college. Many carcinogens are still present and it does cause cell damage. Smoking in general is a good way to get cancer cause of the smoke itself. If it's possible to get cancer from a soccer accident, it's possible to get cancer from smoking anything.

  • I saw one of those cigarette dispensers/whatever dispensers on American Pickers. It was in the shop so I have no clue about how much they were asking for it. They're really cool though...

  • great mashup! and yes I've seen them live twice and they sound AMAZING and doug is super cool, he talked to us and took pics after the show

  • this song wreaks of memories from high school. grrreat

  • awesome footage from a classic car fan!

  • is it just me or does this guy have a sexy ass voice??

  • last summer i was a security guard for a venue, i think they were opening up for kings of leon or some shit... dont remember. but i didn't know they were opening, and when they did, i was super happy. they make me happy. i like this song.

  • "I want you to do me..." :{p

  • I wanna see it when you get stoned on a cloudy breezy desert afternoon

  • @rogbone i want to see you get woken up in rehab

  • i want one of those cigarette dispensers.

  • @sammaroo319 i want i cigarette :'( i wish i was 16 12 year olds cant have much fun

  • @MyPiderman You can have more fun at 12 than you can at 27. Paying bills and going to work every day isn't all it's cracked up to be. Don't try to grow up too fast, and trust me, you don't want to end up smoking. It costs a lot and limits what you will be able to do athletically, not to mention girls who don't smoke won't want a guy who does. 16 will be here before you know it, and high school is a fucking blast... so is college. Someone should have told me this when I was 16.

  • @MyPiderman

    High school can suck dick depending on where you are.

    And don't smoke, and if you do get into drugs, don't be one of those kids who talks about how fucked up they get all the time.

    Despite the fact it takes no talent to get fucked up (buy drugs, take them, ta da) alot of kids want to seem cool for doing it, cause of thug culture bla bla bla.

    Just don't do it, so annoying. Take some ever now and then though, they're pretty nice.

  • @mrfudgeyhead He's 12. I really don't think he should even try a drug until he's at least an upperclassman in High School. Starting early is a great way to fall into the wrong crowd, and the earlier you start and you do become an addict, your chances of being an addict til you die go WAY up. I have friends who started using in their 20's for whatever reason and they are full blown addicts. Take caution...

  • @spoonhombre

    Plus the brain before ~20 (for most) is still developing and even CIGS can have long lasting effects.

    (this is coming from someone who smokes)

  • you have the most awsome video ive ever seen on youtube you are star
