i want to use this in a skateboard edit SO bad!

[ybravura]

Despite that soft-rock & folk are not my favorite styles, I haveta concede that, as far as musicianship, singing and songwriting goes, MOF is not only the finest band in the USA, they're the best thing to come along in many years.

This song is so ill wow!..

[punkfish79]

yep they deserved to win...

[yogini1992]

[LalitaShaktas]

Thumbs up if you like Monsters of Folk, this song, and this video they made. The kid is awesome too she did a good job bless her.

[LalitaShaktas]

This is fantastic! Great song, every beat, note, lyric, and image resonates. Gorgeous video. Im crying and feel so much joy an a bit of sadness. Deserved to win I'm so glad it did. Thank you, Monsters of Folk, for this musical masterpiece and a masterpiece of a video to accompany it. Suits the song perfectly and seems to be so...well...Monsters of Folk style (the video I mean). Beautiful. Wow I'm crying really hard and that's a good thing.

[panjok2]

@chuckz1487 hey now I almost had a tear come out too! I wish I would have known about the contest! I would have loved to do it just for the fun of it! Great song!

[zzaaach]

where are her parents? this girl should be in school!!

[nickywilliams777]

I thought this song was about God not being there for us.

[thewoodlandfox]

@nickywilliams777 i only really got into M. Ward stuff in the last 6 months, but from what I hear... the guy's a pretty religious kind of guy. Just in terms of themes of songs. My ear likes to hear it that way too. I don't know anything about his beliefs, or the other members of this band. I think you could take it either way.

[gozuichi]

This video is weak. I would have hated to have to the view the other videos it beat out.

[browndogoz]

@gozuichi Dude, you're weak, so is your frame.

[questionsmyfuture23]

This is an AMAZING SONG, to match a AMAZING VIDEO...in the end..God's always there..no matter how lost we think we might be!!

[followXtheXdot]

The last part makes me tear up.

[obey45]

This is a good job for a great song. Actually though I believe your best candidate is on your website as a runner up/ thl815.

[heyjude97]

the part by the fence got me a little dizzy! lol great video.. but i think the one with the bird or the one with the girl who ran away should have been the winner...

[NewBloodlineMedia]

Congrats to the winners.

But I was just wondering, in the rules it stated that there were to be several "WINNERS" who got signed Records of the Dear God album. We haven't heard any updates, nor any inclinations that these other runner ups, but as they are reffred to in the contest rules "WINNERS" are to be chosen.

Can someone from Monsters of Folk or the label comment on this?

[eliarulli]

stunning!

[pmop34]

the free mind of a child is an amazing thing to behold. beautiful video.

[hirlow]

[dbeater1]

[thebluescreenofdeath]
