  • This was a triumph

  • This song really moves me. It's so entrancing

  • Sublime.

  • it sounds like tobuscus, awesome :P

  • 1 person's finger obviously slipped when they were trying to hit the thumbs up button!

  • I really cannot stand how good this is. It's simply fantastic. Either this or Down Today have to be my favorite from the current album. This is certainly my favorite video. Keep up the great work, sir.

  • Hey Jonathan, what camera did you guys use for this? The low light performance is amazing!

  • @NeverwaY If I had to guess it would be a Canon 5D

  • Comment removed

  • Gracias! Me Gusta La Cancion! :)

  • Happy belated birthday Jonathan.  Mine's on Friday.

  • @josda1000 happy belated b day to you :D

  • I have to say, this song is just awesome, and is, I'm afraid to say, the only track I've bought from the new album... but it is sensational :D

  • What is that thing he's um... Playing I guess...? lol

  • @ChingParr looks like a monome. it's controls a computer.

  • @ChingParr It might be his Zen drum, dunno.

  • @ChingParr It's a monome device. They're made in limited stock if I remember correctly and they let you assign all kinds of functions to the different buttons, not just stuff like audio samples. Google it up, you should find the website there.

  • This so haunting, sad, moving, beautiful...can't get enough.

  • This song reminds me strongly of "When You Go." The subject matter, the ritard and caesura in the middle... And just as beautiful, but in a different way =) love it!

  • Such a beautiful song. My favorite from the album, by far

  • "Holes in the bellows, and blood on the keys." Such a hauntingly melancholic metaphor. Beautiful song that does such a great job of capturing that tortuous place into which we often put ourselves.

  • Will JoCo come to Germany? :D

  • This is beautiful. Simplistic, entrancing.... Thanks for this :)

  • I can hear Tom Waits having a go at this. It's very "Last Leaf On the Tree" in the sense that it's sparse, poignant and just quirky enough to charm without taking away the emotional impact. Lovely.

  • @ivymcallister You mean like this? soundcloud . com /jutze/ nobody-loves-you-like-me

  • @adhesivemedstrip Ha! Too cute. Did you smoke a case of cigarettes, gargle with broken glass and razor blades and wash them down with a whiskey to get that Waits-y effect? (More to the point--how long were you vocally crippled after your performance?)

  • i listened to this a few times, but i cant understand what this song is about. is he singing to a person or a part of himself. further more is he singing as a human or some kind of robot? His songs are never as simple as "a guy loves a girl" unless the guy is also a werewolf.

  • @Mudfrog72 what i think this song means is that he commited sucide by falling off a fire escape because he loved someone but she didn't like him that's what my idea is anyways.

  • Now if only Flansy could get back to actually making good music videos for TMBG. These are great for JoCo. because he never has music videos, so anything is great for him. But with TMBG, who used to make great videos like Ana Ng and Don't Let's Start, now making crap like The Fellowship of Hell and O We videos, it gets disappointing. I understand that they're touring, so they can't make great videos, but in that case, just don't make videos until you're done, because a song on a time lapse sucks

  • That is a pretty freaking sweet machine!!! :)

  • TAKE THAT OWL CITY!

  • This was obviously filmed in John Hodgman's secret underground lair.

  • @MrCraigjclark I think John Hodgmans underground lair is one of those no Coultons allowed sort of deal

  • @Vampericlegends Depends on whether there are any cats.

  • Another lovely song by Mr. Coulton. Fact.

  • holy shit. i need to start listening to jonathan coulton. (and bellows and keys? is an accordion accomplice to a killing?)

  • @j2n the previous line references lungs. might be metaphorical.

  • @MrSpeakerCone Hmm. I figured as much at first (before I heard "keys") - that bellows would make a good diaphragm replacement in an artificial man (one who would own an artificial heart).

  • Keep the videos coming.

  • this has its own little atmosphere that i can't help be addicted to, i love this

  • I agree. This is one of my favorites from the new album. This and My Mustache.

  • These videos (this and Nemeses especially) are awesome!

    Please do one for Today with Your Wife.

  • But Halloween was like two weeks ago...

  • launchpad?

    cool.

  • This is by far my favorite song from the album.
