Don't Let It Bring You Down

[bladeboy2041]

Check out Neil Young's 'Old Man' live BBC 1971 -awesome stuff or what. Only just discovered him. What a brilliant song-writer.

[davidagreen]

@bladeboy2041 Yeah I've seen Neil's BBC 1971 stuff and loved it. I've been a Neil Young fan since 1970.

[acidkimmycandy]

this song is perfect for making love in a rainy day

[Margaux3200]

No matter how many times I hear this rendition, I just love it. Neil's version is a real favorite of mine, but I think Annie's very clear white sound is so apropos to American Beauty. Thanks for sharing.

[davidagreen]

I hope you like my video, it is really a fun thing to create.

[homegrownpa]

Never seen the film, just here to say I love Neil and like Annie, so when I saw Her cover this, I like/love her a little more!

[Shadowjagman]

Gahh I want the version in American Beauty without drums =(

[highgroundstrike]

i prefer Neil Youngs version but, how she sang this makes this very good. American Beauty was also one of the best movies ever.

[helenevienna]

I discovered Neil Young thanks to American Beauty! I just wanna know the name of the song the cheerleader band is playing in the film. If it has a name.

[harryburroughes]

timeless

[triplettam]

One of the best covers ever (love them both).

[drose2k10]

love her voice, came here from american beauty :)

[davidagreen]

@drose2k10 Hi. I agree Annie's voice is beautiful and I love her cover of this Neil Young song. This song was one of my favorites when I first heard Neil sing it way back in the seventies. I still love it.

[jordycokelaar]

@drose2k10 You're not the only one :)

[triplettam]

Almost better than the original. Davidagreen: great job.

[dopeurwhatuuse]

@triplettam great song thanks i love neail young,

[LoisRocks1]

@triplettam its like you know what i like thank you

[chorradasfull]

American Beauty

[IronMaidenKAT]

@chorradasfull OH YES

[Jtronique]

@imortalbelovd, I stand by what I said. Great montage. The song is a very illustrative song. It lends itself well to different interpretations. Not just with other musical artists, but video artists. This is why I was accepting in the first place of the song being remade for American Beauty. Another illustrative movie, which used the concepts of hope through despair, in a time where we felt certain change was coming. Some not pretty! But this unpretty was real for me, and I still say Good on OP.

[IronMaidenKAT]

LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG

[Dorph89]

I found this song after watching American Beauty.

Now I love it sooo much!

It was so perfect in the movie. Made the scene so sweet!

Annie Lennox has an amazing voice.

[gamefreak8496]

This is one of the most AMAZING, EERIE, SURREAL and BEAUTIFUL songs I have EVER heard. I absolutely LOVE it. American Beauty is my NUMBER ONE movie of ALL time, and they couldn't have picked a more perfect song for one of THE BEST scenes in the entire movie.

[jdlangside4321]

terrible. i apoligise on fannie's behalf neil.

[IronMaidenKAT]

@jdlangside4321 whatTHEFUCKEVER

[MisterChrisman123]

umm... about the video... people are gonna be scared to come back to their computer... doesn't make sense!!!!

[xicarus92x]

weirdest video i have ever seen

[IronMaidenKAT]

@xicarus92x IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE.......BEAUTIFUL SONG.........BAD-ASS VIDEO

[joncolohan]

Hail Neil Young - that man can write some amazing songs....

Thanks for the wonderfull cover Annie

[catatoniafan80]

this song is beautiful including hte harp part the use of the harp in songs such as a song or two by catatonia is good

[nixart7]

All hail ANNIE!!!

[psflyu2]

beautiful song

[catatoniafan80]

yeah

[SuperCubbiefan]

yea, i completely agree. This was one of my fav scenes in the movie. The music, the slowness, perfect.

[ethannhunt78]

What a great song and what a stupid and nonsense video...

[SuperCubbiefan]

beautiful song. just made American Beauty, a perfect movie, even better.

[teogialigous]

yeah...i love this when it plays in the movie...such an erotic song for such an erotic scene...don't you agree?

[samsoup8]

i agree 100% .... it was a great scene and this music was perfect for it ... i sat in the theater and i had no idea who did the song but i had to find out and go buy the CD ..

[enzocippitelli]

Más allá del video, este tema esta bueno.

[porouraukawa]

unless i was hearing things (again!) it was on the soundtrack - near the end when it all goes bad - i know, cause i love the song & the movie

[tommyboy409]

You gotta be kidding me!!!!  This wasn't on the soundtrack??

[parangurimiricuaro]

o porq .. ponen a Kayako en esta canción tan bonita

[cicitas173]

love it.

[banjgoboy24]

Last was in ore, not iron but lillies, orchids. Wanted to shout out to you well done. You sang well and carried yourself with, sadness. So sorry I didnt cheer you on. As for this song, great song. To over done. Always honest a with reservations.

[LEAFSOCIETY08]

such a good song, wonder why it didn't make it to the American Beauty soundtrack? was the reason i bought it and wasn't even on there :S

[MITCHWILD]

"Well i am speechless," it's not on the soundtrack! .....why the hell not? one of the best parts of the film, one of the best tracks in the film, one of the best film's of the last hundred years!

Big mistake.

Probably something to do with copyright law's.

Maybe Mr Young wasn't happy about it's inclusion.

Also Ms Lennox's version is a lot better.

[tomfrh]

ethereal

[Margaux3200]

Video is amazing....!

[Margaux3200]

Awesome....even better than Neil himself. Thanks for posting.

[abfabs1]

Been looking for this since i first watched American Beauty,fantastic,haunting song...love it!!!

[brianchylinski]

There is a great cover version of this on

BirdLivesInMe youtube page

[momogallas]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I had totally forgot about it until it came up when I was looking for another song. I don't think my boyfriend agrees though as I am continually playing it lol.

[broschats]

The first time I heard this it was played by my Native American Friend Sharon's Sister. She is really good and when I hear this version it is like we are sitting on the back porch playing it in person. Excellent!

[MatthewFarmer47]

Good song. Heard it from American Beauty

[mutantstrain]

old man lying by the side of road

with lorries rolling by

blue moon sinking from the weight of the load

and the buildings scrape the sky....

cold wind lapping down the valley of dawn and the morning paper flies

dead man lying by the side of the road with the daylight in his eyes....

[TheSdoudou]

fukin amazing

[angerdraw]

i got this from " american beauty "

[jzw0748]

I agree..when this song was placed in American Beauty, It made the scene that much better.  Esp. how they made it sound like it was playing on his stereo.

[baschinator123]

American beauty!!!!!

[bigman32193]

1:06 holy moly

[kuchiki999]

Possibly the most perfectly placed song in a movie of all time. It fit the scene better than anything I've ever seen. The movie would not have been as good without the placement of this song. So surreal. So perfect!

[micropoes]

Couldn't agree more.

[bOtTySmAcK24]

i totally love this song

went i am down it makes me go back up

love this song !!!

[paulsak59]

all time best song when the credits are rolling on the screen in a dark theater as strangers anonymously depart the building.

[CzechGuardian]

Loved this one in American Beauty. Perfectly picked for the situation.

[sandprof]

it was spot-on - made me hairs stand on end. I did not notice that it was not nilly young singing actually - she is a much better singer but it is really fast here

[mwalton00]

Totally agree!

[pwgirl92]

@CzechGuardian i would have to agree with you on that one i just watched American Beauty for the first time yesturday, marvelous movie, it was the perfect song to pick for that scene.

[mrstonerbrain]

great song great video mgreilly86 needs his disney videos explained to him

[hunterallen48]

great song better than the original

[Cloudjumper]

yeah thats true!

[sandprof]

fcuk off!

[Azarei]

I love the original to pieces,

but her cover is just so damn sexy.

interesting video too.

[sandprof]

great in AB - but too fast here. She is a lezza icon

[notdarkyet1997]

Great stuff - love how it's used in 'American Beauty'

[elisaloba]

ángeles cantan esta cancion en el entierro de una mujer que camina sobre el agua..gracias por compartir semejante alto tema,

[MGReilly86]

Awesome song...utterly pointless and confusing video. Guess you broke even, thanks for the song anyway.

[PunkMartyr]

Life pales compared to this

[j0andc0]

Annies finest song.

[playm00000]

stupenda..

[th0mas1ee]

Listening to this song, and more accurately remembering the scene from American Beauty, reminds me why I love films, but even more so the music accompanying them. That interconnectedness between musical and visual is exceedingly special. Emotional.

[Vanevalence]

lol I just knew people were gonna be talkin about american beauty

as soon as i decided to look up this song.

Beautiful song incredible movie probably my favorite movie ever!!! that and Lost in translation. :) ★★★★★

[LoViN4pEaCe]

totally love them both!!

[pisca531]

It's near the end of the movie when an doomed seduction scene occurs between Lester & Angela....when she says she's a virgin, the party is over....a very poignant interaction and all the while, Annie Lenox is singing "Don't let it bring you down". There was a great video of thie scene posted some months ago on YT but it got pulled.....too bad...it was 3 minutes of almost wonderful for Lester, horny little schmuck!

[zdolnyB]

Yeah, that is my best part of movie form. It`s incredible scene!

[pisca531]

Classic Lennox but I'm not fond of this video which keeps getting stuck 1:01 into the song....there was another video on YT of an American Beauty scene that played out while Miss Annie embraced this song and the very essence of the moment on film....unfortunately, it was removed from YT and that's a real shame....also was used at the closing of a House episode last year........

[farleyriver]

what scene was that in american beauty?

[IIovefootball1982]

When Angela had a fight with Jane, and went to play the stereo. While Jane's dad was coming back from working out. The song was still playing while they were making out.

[muzac4themasses]

great song by a great artist.

Neil Young and Annie Lennox. AWESOME!

[HYBRIDARTS]

I love her version of this song the best

[geekoftheweek27]

This song is fucking incredible.

[IronMaidenKAT]

@geekoftheweek27 FUCKIN' A....I COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE

[nohassells4me]

Great clip.....fantastic song........Annie Lennox really has done it justice.

[kangurome]

what a voice !!!

[CaptPoco]

I hate to say this, but this cover is better than the original

Go Lennox!

[banjgoboy24]

Saw you and felt your presence, whanted to shout out out well done annie. Nec ,if you dare ill sing it better with you. tRY OR WONDER. 01773 599654. There the oppertunity is on. A.

[farleyriver]

[Desmike444]

[SPROCKchic83]

I <3 Annie's voice

[GigiLuvsRomeo18]

i fukin love this song!!

nd i was born in the 90s!

[goodolds]

What is the name of the different movies? I know the time machine. Thank's!!

[farleyriver]

this is officially my favourite song

[Jtronique]

Great Montage!!!! You totally captured the feel of the song imho. Thanks for posting it.

[davidagreen]

Thanks. I thought it was pretty good.

[imortalbelovd]

@Jtronique Seriously?! "Killers" is totally NOT what this song is about. This is a terrible video. The quality of the clips is sub par and there is nothing redeeming about the content.

[Toyo4255]

what 1:54

name of the movie or show?

please reply

[sleepbaby17]

I LOVED the fact that this was like an homage to famous killers...I think it would be more powerful though if you did more of what you started to do in the beginning with the different snapshots of the movies and continued you it througout the video; maybe even try a split screen or keep to the blending of the videos; maybe you could eve include some of the old classic horrors (halloween, the sentinel, the fog, etc.)....just a suggestion, but I do love what you did ;-)

[davidagreen]

Thank you for watching. I'm still learning how to use my software and barnstorming when I get the time. Check out some of my other videos and tell me what you think. I'm always trying to improve.

[kidatheartproduction]

this song is amazing, such a meaning.

[FuckYourGodDamnGod]

What a beautiful song. Almost a poem unto itself.

[peaceouteverybody]

Lol what's with the random vid? o.O

[bangbrosdude]

wtf random vid nice song

[workindogged]

Been looking for this song for ages. Nice work, thanks!

[uriccio68]

Por el pajarito de siempre, don't let it bring you down! Estoy siempre a tu lado. U.

[sleeptite69]

This track was used in a scene in American Beauty... Great Song!

[ArthBHx]

Yeah, the best film ever.

[mnf430]

Yes, I agree with that.

[Mousteache]

I agree too. So awesome. Mmmh, but Fight Club is great too.

[56810]

the scene with this song in the background was one of the best in the whole film *g*

[DonnerPartyAnimals]

Such a powerful scene. I don't think I'll ever see a movie that can match it.

[Ranklescher]

I second that lol. Funniest post is the first.

[KingOFashesx]

Lmao at the comment below me.

[shockadelica04]

WTF? this video is bringing me down
