  • We have edited a similar music video. We used a black and white film from the 1930's with indie music. Check it out on our channel

  • yeah this video is fucking awesome

  • Thanks for all the comments everyone!

  • @BennisHahn really great vid i thought it was the original til the end when i read the comments!

  • @alexandra2116 Thanks!

  • 5 bucks this will be on an apple commercial.

  • very very nice vid. Wish more people would post stuff like this

  • hey good stuff brother, i enjoyed it

  • this is awesome!

  • This is really amazing, great edit

  • This video pwns the real video, your video gives a better feel for the song.

  • lovely video. :)

  • love it.

  • I like the video don't get me wrong.. But it seems to just be a bunch of image in black and white vaguely relating to transport... I might be a bit pessimistic in saying that I have a feeling that you would all bang on about any video which had a retro look as it differs from the norm.... Anyway who cares about the video anyway, it's al about the song and that was magical thank you!

  • booooo ooeeeh oooooooooh hey heey HEEEY ALLRIGHT!

  • Wow... This could SO be an official video! ^^ Gratz!

  • in my favorites<3

  • I have to say you did a truly wonderful job.

  • Atb of the song, there are like cryings and so on, during the solo piano part...Then when the drums come, people are like applauding and so on.

    According to me, it's like "oh gosh, not a lover song please ... oh ... now it sounds good !"

  • It's alright, but I prefer the you-know-who version to this one.

  • @BennisHahn Amazing video. It seems like there are clips from the band actually performing it and you made it black and white, is that true?

  • Awesome video.  Love the big band footage when the sound gets big.

  • Yeah¡¡¡ it's better than the official. Thanks for this work friend.

  • Sensational job on this; I'll watch this one over the "official" any day. I'm never a fan of split screens; but the four frames with the landing gear is so well done.

  • airplanes as airplanes.

  • saw them on Roskilde Festival 2010! one word: FANTASTIC

  • great fucking job :)!!!

  • @stankshag Thank you!

  • Beautiful video, simply splendid!

  • Cool

  • even this is not the official video is the one i always look for, nice images....

  • @JaneInzn Thank you!

  • @JaneInzn me too XP

  • @JaneInzn me too XP

  • @JaneInzn It should be the official video! We should petition to Local Natives and ask them to use it!

  • @offspringthing48 archive.org

  • such nice vocals

  • makes me so happy inside

  • i love this band

  • Beautiful song, nice video!

  • This should be the official video.

  • may not be the original but its still an awesome video. great editing :)

  • well done Bennis Hahn

  • that was a really good music video. and i bet it wasn't easy.

  • Hey BennisHahn, I didn't realize this wasn't an official video 'til I was almost done watching and I looked down at the comments. I think it's a great video. It adds something to the song, which is cool. I actually like the jump cuts. It's a nice style. Great job.

  • @8Steady Thank you very much!

  • @8Steady WHAT???!!!! THIS ISN'T THE OFFICIAL VIDEO?!!!!!!! I'M SO BLOWN AWAY, IN CASE YOU COULDN'T TELL BY MY USE OF ALL CAPS.

  • yay for same last names!

  • Fantastic concert at Roskilde Festival! Thanks! :) Check out danish indie pop act The Kites watch?v=RhIUmoByqG0

  • just beautiful!

  • just watched the official videois. parts of this video I fill are far more appropriate, and fitting of the music. Great sync

  • Essa banda é muito boa!!!

    Uma nova promessa onde a voz e e a linha melódica valem mais

    do que apenas imagens!!!

    Como brasileiro, no acaso achei esse video no youtube e gostei muito de primeira!

    Coisa que anda muito difícil hoje em dia!!! o diferente diante tanta mesmisse! rs

    Parabéns a todos do Local Native!

  • pretty good amateur video. I could believe this was the real vid

  • What an amazing clip! Love it!

  • his voice reminds me of Dallas Green

  • They don't have a single bad song

  • just love it!!!!

  • i always seem to play this song everyday lately.

  • Beautifully edited. The quasi-jump cuts at 1:24-1:30 were a little awkward. Also, having people fake lip-sync the words makes it seem a little amateur, but otherwise, beautiful montage. Definitely got me to check out your website.

  • @watchvid26 Thanks for the feedback!

  • @watchvid26 whoa, a critic.

  • ich liebe diese stelle : 1:05 :D

  • well done! :D

  • such a good. song. ohhhhhhhhhh. i kan sing/ listen to this all nite.

  • airplanes my ASS!!

  • Good job dude!

  • download link?! :D

  • Yeah this is such a well made video! One of many great fan made music videos on youtube.

  • absolutely beautiful... the mold sits shattered on the floor. namaste

  • I think I just peed a little. The good kind of pee your pants.

  • awesome!!! i love it!

  • This song will not get out of my head.

  • this may not be the official video but maybe it should be :)

    i havent seen the actual official video but this is fantastic! great job willam!

  • beej not only is this a fantastic vid, but its the most viewed of local natives.

    WONDERRFULLLL!!

    (:

    great job, even though i've told you 100+ times.

  • not official but a nice job on a goovy song

  • Favorite band at the moment.. so talented.

  • rad video

  • my ne Fave! So good!!

  • ya i think this video does a nice job of capturing the song. It's representative of 1950's nostalgia. It fit nicely

  • it looks as if the maker of this video didn't understand what the song was about. People tend to turn everything into a love story, especially when it isn't.

  • @crowdzor I am well aware the direction of the video does not reflect the intent or meaning of the song. However in and of itself, does that take away from the video?

  • @BennisHahn It's well done, but yes, for me it did detract. Emphasis on "for me"

  • @crowdzor Sounds good to me!

  • @BennisHahn not at all, you did a much better job than most fans on here. good work

  • @EliteBeave Thanks!

  • @crowdzor

    Are you sure it has nothing to do the song ? The song is about his deceased grandfather, and the images in the video are that of his generation...I think it's pretty damn nice.

  • @crowdzor Music, and art in general, is made for the interpretation of the one listening or viewing the art. Art can be individually meaningful. Just because this song does not reflect a love story to you, doesn't mean that someone else doesn't view it as a love story. It is quite pretentious for you to believe that your interpretation of this song is in fact the absolute truth of the meaning of the song.

  • I fucking love this song!

  • Very nice piece of work, you've got the right stuff!!

  • Love the vocals and the band all together!!

  • QUE BUENA CANCION!!!!

  • 4/20, slept in late this morning, smoked a nice bowl of chronic and then sat outside, feeling the cool breeze on my face and watching all the beautiful green trees in my backyard and listened to this new band Local Natives I just discovered. Doesn't get much better than this.

  • well done!

  • Wow! What absolute crap! Just when you thought it couldn't get worse.

  • @gigwalnutz1 its better than peoples feet.. freak

  • Love this track and this video is brilliant.....where is the archive footage from and also what editing software dif you use?

  • R.I.P. Renden Lemasters <3

  • ...v. good

  • so much better than the 'official' vidya. Props from one media artist to another.

  • love this video. even if its the unofficial one.

  • I freaking love this song, brilliant video for it too. Well done :)
