Grandaddy - Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground)

[maximoplf]

AMAZING! Is this the official clip?

[Outrjs]

This has to be one of the greatest songs I heard for my soul.

I change the lyrics for Jesus.

This beat and praises to God makes me so complete.

Thank you God for Grandaddy.

[curtaink]

Great work Euone

[bodnotbod]

Absolutely beautiful.

[w23eer]

test tones and

failed clones and

odd parts

[annywally]

[didgeboy287]

I love this tune but I also love how this fan made video became what feels like the official video for it.

[Haggravated]

We miss you.

[kemchobhenchod]

sometimes transcendence comes from deepest misery

[duffogrup]

We want Grandaddy reunion!

[damage4444]

la compression est lamentable, criminel !

[dan1fong]

Une des meilleurs chansons au monde !!!

One of the best songs ever ! (And a beautiful music video)

[TheWaveringRadiant]

AppleBasic! Best video ever!

[OMGabba]

♥ b e a u t i fucking f u l

[RedPlasticBuddha]

they wrote such beautiful, intelligent and soulful songs ...

another victim of the stupid music industry - where everyone makes a living but the artist.

think of that the next time you visit your favorite file sharing site, kids

[twirlyboggs]

magic~

[deirdreseagull]

[TheOneTheOnlyIvan]

[minkaworks]

[aharnam]

@erthemama Thanks for that :)

[abrusco2]

youtube broken this video. was completely desync

[eezysqueezy]

This is only half the song.

What the fuck?

[Megera85]

I love how simple yet complex this video is. The song is beautiful as well.

[OverBurn1990]

It scarys me. Really.

[alavora]

poco, justo, intenso, preciso!

[kevsickboy]

very little music makes me as emotional as grandaddy. absolutely leaves me in pieces.

[ninjalincolnorig]

I wonder if this is at all anti-scientology?

e-meter vs. beautiful ground

[dblhelix1900]

I agree, I think this song is fantastic, and this video does it serious justice.

[AliceHatt]

I can't find: "Sikh in a Baja VW Bug"

ARGH!

[thewalrus557]

really radiohead-ish, I think they'd do a good cover of no suprises

[pickassoreborn]

Fantastic!

[atthehop]

This is fantastic! Really well-done.

[amuteband]

This is absolutely beautiful...

[LagunaCloud]

that was amazing. loved every moment of it

[blackjoker12]

Its sad they broke up they are one of my Fav bands! I hope they get back together or something. Maby start a new band same members just diffrent name and stuff. They made great music.

[w23eer]

The lead singer is making a solo album.

[ivinsean]

incredible really

[BillHillRhymes]

well done!

[aleksieyi]

that was just beautiful...

[SquallLion59]

beautifull

this song will be inspire portal song

[spads772]

down

[wlodzimierzpolska]

great!

[Tobi4444]

beautiful programmed

[scopein79]

I like this song!

[glyph68]

Wow.

[sirecho2]

sweet vid

[snizzileenD]

that song brings tears to my eyes. where is grandaddy?fucking brilliant

[JimbobJones42]

they broke up a few years ago, because they got "too famous" =[

their wikipedia page has the full story.

[stew4rtsmith]

I don't think that's the case. It seems to me they were intent on making great music and making a real living off of it. The latter never happened. After 14 years of giving their all you can imagine they must have been painfully frustrated. Enough to jump ship. It's a sad loss.

[minkaworks]

@snizzileenD broke up ovrt money : ( means so much respect is lost. how could we petition...we want them back. :*( not \many bands changed my life to the point i still hope itll all turn out ok this long into it

[rnwood]

Wow... That was really beautiful

[triggerscrappy]

grandaddy rocksssssssssssss

[twirlyboggs]

no band can replace the grandaddy

[stew4rtsmith]

more of you should download the source code and have a go with it. a quick google for "stewdio jed" will get you there.

[bebostumps]

wow, awesome. Brill vid , thanks . hail jordzord for the recommendation.

[kongenavnorge56]

who the fuck cares if the song is depressing? emotion in music is nothing to freak out about.

[spudyoulikeinit]

im depressed these days

for some reason i listen to grandaddy even more now which makes the situation worse, summer here kids and jeds poem you could almost call them songs to kill yourself too.. great band though

[artichuck]

Yep.  Yep yep yep. Try drinking heavily. Maybe that will help.

[perdici0n]

Or abuse pot heavily. That seems to work for me.

[benenock]

its not 'abuse' if you smoke it, thats what you're supposed to do. Grandaddy are unique and great.

[JOKAMAJA]

Buy a bike and ride it!!!!!!!

[JOKAMAJA]

Get a bird feeder or a bike...

[blorg13]

god, what a horrible intro....but once the song starts it's all good

[ollythewally1]

But can you imagine the song without it?

[JOKAMAJA]

Beautiful Sound!!!!

Pioneers in American music...

Excellent Band...Many records...

OWN LABEL!!! (indie)

Grandaddy will be missed!

[SIlvrest]

This song is so bleak, so depressing, but so magnificent, I can't stop listening.

[vladnek]

pam i missyou

[jambigirl]

this is just beautiful - where something is meant to be so sad, it just becomes beautiful. It has a unique sorrow, that sort of jokes about itself but actually knowns its being perfectly serious. Just like when you are on your own and have no one or anything to fall back on

[AndreasJarlen]

C64 Power!

Really really beautiful.

[ollythewally1]

It's an old mac :)

[stew4rtsmith]

It's pre-Mac. This is a 1979 Apple ][+ which used a command-line interface. The first Macintosh was released in 1984 and was the first personal computer to feature a graphic user interface and mouse.

[SIlvrest]

Fucking fantastic. Song and video

[xTheBleakx]

Wow this reminds me so much of my old girlfriend...

[mymar86]

bahaha

[xTheBleakx]

wow you think thats funny?

[mymar86]

well, yeah, that you would post a comment about how it reminds you of your ex, and share the fact with a lot of strangers

[xTheBleakx]

lmao i dont give two shits speakin my mind is what i do

[mymar86]

oh no i'm not saying you should stop expressing yourself, i just think it's a funny fact to share, no one here knows you

[xTheBleakx]

doesnt matter i guess. this is the internet lmao

[mymar86]

okay listen, i just found it funny, sorry if i hurt your feelings. do/say whatever you want to do or say

[ProjectSikotik]

Actually I know him, lol. He's my bassist.

[lorito2002]

thats a cool video i really like it and grandaddy is great

[gabrielhaas]

OMG, that's the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[picturethief]

Poor old Jeddy, bless your toaster heart buddy, we miss you.

[doqtor]

best fan video ever made

[changemytone]

exactly.

[test2ube82]

omg, is this really a fan vid?

[naireland]

Wow the source code did it all eh. I started seeing the if then statments and damn did that take some time

[bbgunsetsail]

the day grandaddy stopped playing together..my heart broke.

[elmofreak95]

ME TOO!

[smeeaysmilee]

Is that right!! Are Grandaddy NO MORE!

[bbgunsetsail]

tis true...I got an email from them about a year ago...it was soo sad...i remember one line that went like this "sometimes swimming agaisnt the stream is too difficult" i was cryig my eyes out! stupid secular music stream!

[smeeaysmilee]

Oh my god I'm devestated! Thanks for letting me know

[suckerpinch]

Super! I love how it prints its source code at the end.

[maxfieldwh]

Excellent!

[Apricot907]

love.

[mantisartist]

one of the best shorts i've seen...check *reidstereid* page...more grandaddy mania!

[artichuck]

10 print "you're a dork"

20 goto 10

heheheh. Oh but it's not a joke it's too fukcing beautiful for that

out of body experience

[danikasuomi]

Really the best video possible for his song, simply awsome, beautiful, creative...

good job!

[nameofthepen]

danikasuomi sez: "Really the best video possible for his song, ..."

AGREED!

For me, it's like at the end, that computer looks as lonely as Jed must have felt...

[mejordo]

Good ole' BASIC programming...

[brusio]

Art, Poetry and special music.

[Firetopmountain]

That must be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Genious.

[jakeharvey]

I mean no offense... This video is in my favorites and all. But if this is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen, I think you should see more things. Unless there's some special reason why it is to you that I don't understand.

[Firetopmountain]

No worries. I was just exaggerating, but it's still very beautiful. I've always been fascinated by old computers and their quirkiness.

[theactordavidbath]

Wow! That's my favourite Grandaddy song and now it's my favourite video too.

[manydereks]

this video is amazing.

[tomrose1]

that my friend is seriously awesome! fantastic tune off the last decent record grandaddy made and makes me seriously nostalgic for old skool programmin (neva owned anything apple but used to mess about on a bad ass texas and spectrums as a wee kid)

[Sinatrixx]

Sweet ass video. My friends named Cody and Matt could care less about it. But I think it is sweet.

P.S- I drive a firebird.

[Hollgam]

just wow

[arianabananna]

Very awesome video.

....did Jed...die?

[changemytone]

He did indeed die. You should listen to Jed the Humanoid. rip

[666colorvision666]

amazing

[cure58]

Radiohead meets Neil Young!

[starwhoresrecords]

[sodomies]

eggcelent video

[nixxo85]

[Kabbage24]

Very impressive

[MattieCooper]

Cool!

[bidelbup]

This song is from the "Software Slump", a terribly highly underrated album... so many beautiful songs, one of my favorites, ever!

[damianhess]

Amen to that.

[test2ube82]

O...M....G!!!! picaso of our time (my time)mmm, whatever.

[indielover77]

WOW! What a Vid.....

[cj719521]

Best. Video. Ever.

[pcindirellie]

amazing, the song and the video. thank you for posting. all whom i've shared with, have the same response.

:)

[crystalexplosion]

This video is so so great. It gave me shivers!

And~ hooray for Grandaddy!

[myco578]

wow its really sad how underated this band is.

[nbrustin]

Really cool video, made all the more cool by using an old school Apple. Thanks!

[TheMorMor]

who was jed and what happend to him ??

[moby6002]

this is the second song about jed on the album..the first is about how they built a robot named jed who got sad and killed himself

[mymar86]

yeah, was this made by a fan or the band??

[Cramidy]

Fan made. It was approved by the band later as the official video.

[mellkiades]

Jason Lytle and Grandaddy are true poetic gods. I probably listened to The Sophtware Slump well over 1000 times. Every single album has gems. This video is cute and great.

We will all miss Jed.

How sad that the band broke up. Please let us know if you hear news about Jason's solo work.

[misseryme]

this is one of those songs that make you feel in other place...quiet, other time..if you enjoy this with a any play of Sarah Kane probably you gonna fly..

[happychump]

dont likie the begining but i like the actual song, is good.

[ovidsnose]

Mad BASIC skilz!

[QCB73]

I'm sure the band would approve, you've captured the essence of Grandaddy with this video - brilliant.

[ashleycraig]

good video, was it made by a fan or the band?

[paulyman5000]

GRANDADDY....SPARKLEHORSE....B­RIGHT EYES...COLD WAR KIDS....TV ON THE RADIO...THE PINK SPIDERS....EDITORS...THE CRIBS...PANDA BEAR...check out these bands if ya dig this

[mwed]
