[Trilament]

[kennethsonnek]

Wow this guy just reduced me from being a 6'2" man to nearly crying like a babay.

[sudden82]

@kennethsonnek

reduced / elevated - thin line..

[DesmondPK]

I want his beard, I want his hair and his eyes and nose! He looks just like Christ! And I've always wanted to look like my Savior :) From this day forward...no more haircuts and no more razors :) Beautiful music :) Thank you! See ya soon brotha! :)

[sigmonrunner1]

@DesmondPK How do you know he looks like Christ? XD

[Traceurotops]

This was fucking beautiful.

[hughthomas90]

met him twice now, at festivals this summer. true gent. the live sound he conjures is always spine-tingling. it changed my appreciation of live music.

[joepsmaling]

I'm afraid he lost his guitarcase.

[ThelastJohnSilver]

Don't mean to be disrespectful but It is like he never actually starts playing the song, in fact, is this a song or is he just rambling as he goes?

[BigTuna1994]

@ThelastJohnSilver That's how the studio version is too. It's stream of consciousness music in a way. Just pure flow.

[doa2382]

@ThelastJohnSilver Should all music be structured? Should colors have shades?

[imOverWhere]

@ThelastJohnSilver

he probably has a chord progression and then just plays whatever strings he feels

[WINEPOEM]

The truth. The most honest, haunting voice that i have heard since Townes Van Zandt. Beautful masterpiece.

[MrDiggger]

i cried a little when i saw his beard. it was shear mountain man perfection.

[msms1919]

pure genius + beauty + beard = love

[HoaryCripplejoe]

at 19:40- that man is having a spiritual awakening, "im off to save the world" is a hopeful line but sang with such melancholy and it resonates so beautifully with this little guy looking up and struggling to find the voice above....

[bonniebardowski]

fantastic

[amephone]

singer stop traffic and keep singing.5s,10s he never move standing straight and singing.finally he finish his phrase softly and have the car go.I never stop crying at this scene because I have watched the moment of real human decision which artist should make.It's a responsibility what musician have to finish his song to the last minute carefully. Josh and director solal, you are genius.vest vest regards

[TheOneThatFlewOver]

@Tetramastbad

You know what else is tiresome? Objectivists.

[TheOneThatFlewOver]

@Tetramastbad Now, if I'd said ObectivISM, your reply might have been a little funnier, or better yet, if I'd said ObjectivITIS. Objectivist does not sound like a condition of any kind, though it is one.

That said, maybe try not paying so much attention to outward appearance, as it's really quite superfluous and often deceiving...in fact, it is deceiving FAR more often than it is not.

[Tetramastbad]

@TheOneThatFlewOver OK.

[pscarlett1]

haunting

[lauralou891]

This song literally makes my heart hurt.

[oO0killer0Oo]

started raining soon as the video begun playing. coincidence?

[avyeled]

[metalxcomawhite]

Genious



[nathanielscott]

I really like the La Blogotheque style!

[themadhurt]

That is the most glorious facial hair i have ever seen.

[Missyintrees]

Like sunshine exuding from the chest.

[vinewalker]

[lhommeokeurbride]

<3

[SuperTrancend]

anyone else get these weird, uncomfortable surreal as shit moments where you wonder if the future will look back on vid's like this and see how beautiful and lovely life was before we destroyed it?

[sigmonrunner1]

@SuperTrancend Why must something beautiful be book-ended by a supposed inevitable self-destruction of our species/planet? Can't we all not just be glad we got to experience life as we have; that we got to see this beautiful video? That we can interact with each others creative expression on such a level is, I think, a fine fine thing. Even if nuclear war starts tomorrow, at least we saw this video.

[SuperTrancend]

@sigmonrunner1 I'm not book ending anything, I'm looking at the world as it happens to be, on the verge of destruction. So it goes.

[sigmonrunner1]

@SuperTrancend Personally I think that's a bit dramatic. I do see your point, but the worlds been on the "verge of destruction" for over 60 years. There's no need weeping for what we'd like the world to be, instead perhaps we should be pleased for what we do have, for how ever long that is, other wise this video is a waste.

[andreacaccese]

@SuperTrancend I dont know. I just try to make the best of what I have now.

[didjits]

Don't feed the troll below. Just enjoy the music.

[Travmann777]

joanna newsom should do a take away show, i don't know how she'll carry around her harp but they find away!

[breadstealingbird]

@Travmann777 on a sail boat!

[holzy4565]

I bet he took the Texas Jerusalem Crossroads to get there!

[mackblackwell]

Beautiful.

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to "Sweetheart I Ain't..."?

[nBobsYourUncle]

@mackblackwell On JOSH's website

[mackblackwell]

@nBobsYourUncle Thank you! :)

[thetreefingersband]

kaif...

[alvincredible]

[ihopeyouredone]

It's Christian Bale with a beard!!

[RafVidz]

WTF!!! ... Where is the EPIC button?? AMAZING!

[Hellninio]

A bit after 10 minutes a guy is walking through the camera and in surround Sound I just thought he was standing behind me...

[Hellninio]

[mazurchris]

thats one hell of a beard

[stripeyninga]

people are gonna have a major go at me here but have to say i think he looks shit with that beard , just like iron & wine

[Asti223]

@stripeyninga All these people think they need to have beards like that to sing "folk" music. Like they need to be part of nature...

[francoisfromblogo]

@Asti223 Josh was not that folkish before, the beard was already there ;-)

[Asti223]

@francoisfromblogo I'm sure, but its just not very exciting to see another person with a beard singing such songs. The song is nice but you cant just be another stereotypical figure or you will never be successful. Too may artists that are similar.

[roen04]

@Asti223

That makes you sound like a businessman.

[Asti223]

@roen04 I know its terrible to think of money when it comes to art but I actually want people that make good music to make money so they can keep making the music. I just think its stupid that people feel like they need to dress/look a specific way to reflect their music.

[colinsolalcardo]

@Asti223 I think what's stupid is this incredibly pretentious statement of yours.

[Asti223]

@colinsolalcardo O no, I've been verbally assaulted by a hipster. My statement of not dressing like the music you listen to is pretentious? Must've offended you lol

[colinsolalcardo]

@Asti223 boy were you quick to call me a hipster. but you missed the point. you're calling "stupid" the fact that "people" allegedly "feel like they need to dress/look a specific way to reflect their music". implying that josh pearson sports a beard and texan outfit because, well, he writes folk/country songs. that, to me, is an incredibly pretentious thing to say.

[rychamomile]

@Asti223 This argument was weak from the beginning and its failed, sorry. People dress how they feel like dressing, it is more coincidence that certain clothing styles are easy to relate to certain music styles. I know plenty of people that sing the same music with or without a beard. Sorry, just a weak argument.

[JimJamJuMV]

@stripeyninga I think Sam Beam from Iron & Wine pulls the beard off better than josh t pearson

[rowanstjohn]

I can see why she might of got him confused with Christ

[XguitarrockerX]

This is just the music I needed. Folky, simple and emotional

[rishy561]

Twenty one and a half minutes of beauty.
