  • I can't find the words to describe this

  • I agree about the song.. But that is FAB..

  • This song sucks and does not do the video justice. Watch the version with Sail by AWOLNation, it is AWESOME.

  • @MrMetrocat no u

  • lol i was looking for eye of the storm by bliss n eso and i found this. what a happy coincidence

  • @shadowsoldior i agree with everything you say, except what the dragon represents. because if this video was reflecting someones last moments, then the character himself would represent the soul. i beleive the dragon representing his mind would make more sense. because you let your mind go right before your soul goes to "the eye of the storm"

    but thats just my take on it

  • Soul, "chained" to his body (the ship). Upon letting go, he sat back and made himself comfortable in his final moments of life to reflect or "look back" on all that he had accomplished (Looking backward out of the ship).

  • I don't think he did fail. I think that the Eye of the Storm signifies an ending. He found his way through the storm to the eye and then pointed himself to that pulsing light, like a beacon calling him home. He first rid himself of his regrets (ridding himself of that box which I'm sure signifies his memories or emotional "baggage"). The rain on the lens may signify him coming to terms with the fact his life was nearing its end (a single tear?) Releasing the dragon, as it signified his [CONT]

  • Wow... such a great short movie !!

  • great, good job!

  • The scene 2:08 and the following (well all) is wow... undescriptable..!

  • Dragon needs better animation/movements and its own unique dragon call, not the one lended from Shrek. But DAMN! That was a cool video.

  • MAKE THIS INTO A MOVIE

    

  • Sail - Awolnation is better music for this video!

  • @doe791

    you can burn in hell

  • @doe791 while that's a great song, I prefer this music.

  • those who dosen't remember the past are forced to repeat it

  • Lmao at 5:06 in the credits it said justin barber, the second I saw it I thought justin beiber can't make good music xD

  • Why haven't this video got 1 million videos yet? This ought to be a steampunk hallmark!

  • 33 Peoples look back to the past...

  • Comment removed

  • found it as a pop up!!! amazing!!

  • Loved this. Found it on a blog & fell in love with it.

  • my TAFE teacher showed this to my class PRETTY FUCIN GOOD... visual effects students :D

  • It was clear he was destined for failure from the start, the captain's chair, and view, pointed out the rear of the ship. If you're always looking back then all you can see is everything you've ever left behind, you can only succeed when you can look forward to everything that is possible, and that you can achieve. A man that looks behind himself only sees his failures, and relives his regrets.

  • @Dantejasper he is not a man , he is a machine '-'

  • @Dantejasper interesting point of view. i see it as losing your inhibitions & letting go of boxed up emotions (hence the throwing away of his items) facing your issues & tackling them head on - into the eye of the storm so to say. facing backwards is him looking back to contemplate the path he is on now. this is the beauty of artistic impressionism, it lets the viewer think upon it and translate in a personalised meaning, all of which are insightful & relevant- from a certain point of view. :)

  • @THXn11 in the vid we dont know weather he failed or succeeded but by dropping his inhibitions overboard and steering directly into the storm he is metaphorically facing his demons and trying hard to overcome his obstacles. hence him releasing his dragon - getting rid of his personal demons and taking responsibility for his own actions. these type of vids are great as they get ppl thinking. also its a great song and the vid is awesome as i am a big fan of steampunk. :)

  • @THXn11 he hasnt failed or succeeded yet.

    he has just begun.

  • @Dantejasper It's like he waited until the last moments of hes life to stop dwelling on his past... put it in full reverse... but at that point it was too late...

  • @Dantejasper but as counterpart you must look back to see your failures so that it shall not happen again. from there comes experience

  • Those two guitar chords are brilliant

  • Comment removed

  • i don't mean to be a complete retard but what is this?

  • @BrianBudondee1 its a music video. What else would it be?

  • some graffic designer or something...?

  • @BrianBudondee1 A short film that represent a song.

    Basically a music video.

  • its just so intence like omg

  • Amazing!

  • i would give anything to be in the exsact same situation

  • @gumbdropmassacre yeah me too!

  • @gumbdropmassacre why????

    

  • The look and feel of this video reminds me of the movie "9".

  • this is absolutely mindblowing, just find this guy now! glad i did!

  • Skyrim + This song = Adventuring Hero

  • @TheCocoYouKnow Until you take an arrow in the zeppelin <_<

  • The original song flows so much better than the Awolnation "version"

    Badass video :)

  • I think the entire team behind this needs to work with a great game company and make an amazing game. They already have the look and feel! amazing!

  • @Fiorwestcoast I like games as much as the next internet-nerd. But seriously, why does EVERY good idea HAVE to fall into the gaming industry? I think some things are better, more sacred on their own.

  • @HoboNoah Well gaming to me is interactive art. And I consider this a great concept.

  • @Fiorwestcoast I suppose I should've looked at it that way beforehand. I absolutely agree that gaming and game design are tangible forms of "art". Guess I'll swallow my pride here and agree.

  • I need to thank the Youtube2Mp3 website/ad-on for sending me here. Lol. I wouldn't have EVER found this. Woop woop.

  • I couldn't help but be reminded of The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello from the concept and art style in parts of this music video.

    Not that it's a bad thing. ^^ I love it!

  • this video is awesome !!! ( with the Awolnation's song :) !!!) sad was taken down !!!

  • @B0ombastix erm you do realise that this music video was made for eye of the storm by lovett? and all "Awolnation" did was steal this music video and put some shitty music to it?

  • @rockingheadbangers it was a fan, not awolnation that made that version and the 250k+ views more than this travesty speaks volumes.I would be happy watching that version over and over again and not comment on this video at all if they hadn't pulled their copyright crap.

    This video doesn't deserve this song.

  • @B0ombastix fair enough if you prefer that kind of music to this, but the music by awolnation just doesn't go with the song at all, you must be an idiot if you don't see it as they made the music and then the video around the song, so it all fits perfectly together. Awolnations song the music video does not go with the beat at all. You are just an idiot go home.

  • @rockingheadbangers Well 250k more people than this version thought it was better and you didn't even see the video? It complimented it perfectly and matched it much more than this talentless drivel. But I can't view it anymore because the owners of this channel had a hissy fit and took it down. Btw, you're a pretty lame 'rocking head banger' if your listening to this crap you loser.

  • @B0ombastix I love how you're losing the argument so you try to make it personal;)but honestly you cant call this talentless dribble,fair enough if you don't like it I respect that but it does take talent to put together and perform a song like that, and actually I was watching this for the music video, not the song, although I do kinda like the song it fits it pretty well.But honestly you're just a troll,what's wrong with the internet today, maybe your social life is pretty poor so you do this?

  • @B0ombastix well no if you type in "awolnation eye of the storm" it is the first to come up in the search, I really can't be bothered to argue with a troll anymore...

  • @B0ombastix

    Regardless of whether you think Awolnation's song works better with this video, it was made for Lovett, and THIS song. As it says in the description, it is the "Official Video to Lovetts song, Eye Of The Storm."

    Stop arguing over something so stupid, and get over it. :)

  • The song was okay but this video was epic! They should make a movie out of this or something~

  • Very cool video.

  • Comment removed

  • Whats in the Box!

  • This has to be my favorite music video. Fantastic.

  • lovin this

  • someone forcing me to rebel in this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome...

  • I. Love. It.

  • S2F

  • Comment removed

  • That guys reminds me of one of the "Chosen ones" From Fable II O.o

  • And what is the rest? :)

  • both are great! <3

  • ADEPTVS MECHANICVS FOREVER!

  • For all of you commenting about Awolnation's Sail, that video was created from this one. This is the original, not Sail. Sail just fit the video so someone put Sail to the video from this one.

  • Regardless of where it came from... the guy has a pet dragon.

  • @DniedAccess22 stolen music video, how fun.

  • @DniedAccess22

    I spit in your face

  • i listened to the Awlonations - Sail song, while watching this video. I still think the original is better.

  • I'm getting really annoyed by all this "Awolnation" crap, surely a video showing a guy flying his airship into the "eye" of a storm fits in more with a song called "Eye of the storm"

  • Oh yeah this music video I just Lovett. 

  • Song isn't bad.... But wow! The video is amazingly done!

  • Comment removed

  • Pretty cool. Found it from AWOLNATION's "SAIL". Still think that version is cooler but hey props to this one too.

  • This could make an awesome game...

  • I just do not understand whats happening here.

  • hey this video should be swapped for the one for sail by awolnation, better match

  • @CrazyMegaOmega to me it seemed to imply a suicidal subtext

    the pilot was releasing everything dear to him and flying without hope in to the eye of the storm

  • @CrazyMegaOmega Yea sure...except this short film was made by the song writers...Everything has a reason.

  • @CrazyMegaOmega It already is!

  • @CrazyMegaOmega See that guy in the video? That's Lovett. This is his video.

  • This vid is perfect just like this

  • did any one else think that at, 4:36 cool guys don't look at explosions?

  • Does anyone know the chords to this?

    It'd be excellent to get it!

  • This video freaking ROCKS! I can't get enough! 

  • looks like capt jack sparrow

  • very good song, never get tired of this

  • The funny thing is that the song sounds the best during the credits at the end.

  • perfect

  • no lie it looks good but i dont get the story can somebody please esplain it to me please? :) thank you

  • @TheOADJ guy is serching the most daring suicide for him.

  • nice

  • okay im sorry if im new to this but... wtf is this about? its kewl and all dont get me wrong, the video was pretty awesome and i love the music, but i have no idea of the storyline behind it. anyone care to fill me in?

  • its dragon season,

    so good job

  • they should make that into a full length movie

  • i suggest better guardrails than that

  • wow that was epic..

  • @termsofexcitement123 Eh not really...

  • thumbs up if you just randomly found this!

  • @ItsAlberOliva oh okay then

    

  • woah, incredible visuals

  • NO! I dind't want this to end!

  • meet the pyro

  • Don't be suprised if Arathi Basin is next

  • Really nice touch to make the theme Steam punk :D

  • "What the hell kind of name is Soap"?

  • Oh whoops.. I had another video playing in the background, but cold play fix you made this video seem 2x as good, Listen to that song as well when watching this, it makes it seems more story like.

  • omfg.. I was just thinking of this song when I saw the picture, no joke!! Cold play fix you ftw!

  • Awesome!

  • So, was he basically getting rid of something he was close to in order to move on? He didn't want to use whatever was in the chest to fuel his fire so he threw it overboard and was finally able to let the dragon go (whatever that was supposed to represent - maybe somebody he loves or something) after he battled through the storm (most likely representing depression). Sometimes you just have to let things go and move on with your life. I don't know if that's right but that's what I got out of it.

  • @TheRagtagChicken He didn't battle through the storm, at the end after he released the dragon, he tied the navigation wheel so it wouldn't turn by itself, and went full speed with his ship into the "eye" of the storm. I don't know what it means though.

  • Steampunk...so cool...

  • i dont get it.
