the album leaf - for jonathan

[conejwsr]

The Gods (and I mean any one you can think of) have blessed this place we call earth with such beautiful music, and have given the gift to some to create. The Album Leaf is one

[setrnyma]

thanks for posting the story in detal. i have never thought of the background of "Jonathan" until now. however, this song is tranquil and pondering.

[Anumeric8]

How could you dislike this? You must have to be some kind of asshole! This is an all around great piece! Thank you for the post!

[Nerdicusable]

Songs like this are what make me want to change the world. Sometimes through life you will be discouraged, believing that you can't make a difference in a world where so many others have tried and failed. Then you see videos like this, and witness the happiness and positive thinking of a young man despite seeing his last days. It's a strong enough emotion to keep me going, to conquer all agony and sorrow in the world. What a powerful song to put with a powerful theme. Best of wishes.

[kniffenkniffen]

I don't understand who could watch this video and then hit dislike. It's beyond my comprehension to disrespect the dead in that way.

[wareaglehp]

this settles my soul....

[iiimissyouu]

from waht album is this song

[callmekeegan]

this is why i love film.

[pebatts]

How wonderful to see his face again! Beautifully filmed and such lovely ethereal music.

[FilminDetroit]

when are you coming to Flint, Michigan?

[kennedyfortissimo]

this is such a simple yet touching film. the album leaf served Johnathan well..

[RedEyeJediZombie]

whoever disliked this video is going to die a horrble death and go to hell. rip jonathan even tho i did not know you you live on in this beautiful video and song.

[dryiceage]

This is so beautiful. Makes me want to die myself to leave this world. I'm tired of these restraints. x

[RudySaravia96]

....... breathtaking. The only word that could catch all the meaning and love in this song, is beautiful. This is simply beautiful.

[flammablepants]

die can be beautiful. lucky that i found Jonathan here.

[photog121]

Hi could you tell me if its possible to film like this and how to get it onto the computer?? how was ths done likw u said with film? im a photographer but this video effect is amazing where could i find a camera and film like this to buy??? thanks im very interested

[javatar77]

@photog121 In the description it says that this film was recorded in Super 8mm. I'm not too hip with film lingo but i googled it and I guess its a type of old camera.

[dtan117]

@photog121 you could also do some post production work. Wouldn't be too hard but I wouldn't blame you for wanting the real thing.

5 stars

[yogaman99]

what instrument is at the beginning?

[MissPepperdoll]

sounds like a synth effect

[shmaurel]

this is excellence. i too am very into black and white film. never actually tried it though. i've always wanted to. this is also pretty funny because ive always said that the album leaf is the perfect looking up at the clouds music. good job.

[roarhugh]

Utter Beauty, the only way to describe the combination of film and music.

[dominator10132]

what song or songs is this from the album leaf. is it called for Jonathon?

[traceurpaul]

yes yes this i very good, thanks.

[livingoutloud40]

I feel like I deserve to die now

[beebe1977]

Btw, I love this video,it totally presents the sense of gloom.

(sorry for my poor grammar,it's not my native language)

[beebe1977]

How to describe my feeling? i lost my senior br.he died many many years ago,

now, i am older than he for 9 years.

i am getting older ,when wind blowing,when rain pouring, when clouds flying even disappearing.

though i miss him, but i ought to value what i see and what i have now.

[music4cause]

Jon, this is incredible. I dont think there could be a better fit for the music. And there is a lot of depth in the video making. I am a physician in St Louis and also make music for a good cause. Please see my channel and lets work together if possible. Cheers, Hamid

[IVIaxxxxxx]

Music at it's finest, art. Touching.

[uyesu]

kudos FDA.

[kobemichael]

Beautiful film, Beautiful music, very touching. You can feel the pain as well as the love.

[imogene1972]

Heard this through Drive on FuelTV, and had to find it. It's beautiful, the music is moving in itself, though knowing the story behind it makes it that more meaningful and that more enjoyable to listen to. Wonderful song, it made me tear up. Five stars! On a side note, it saddens me just to hear about anyone being taken by cancer. My grandmother is fighting with it now, so I know what it's like to watch someone you love go through that. I wish you guys well, and please keep making music!

[thankyouspaceexpert9]

beautifully done. great video, wonderful music, very touching story. RIP Jonathan

[pantseeker2]

i always loved this song, but i never knew the story behind it, it is much more meaningful now with this knowledge certainly

it's a stunning track & a stunning video

[austinha11]

so touching, the saddest and most amazing thing ever

[Lilbabygurllx3]

songs amazing and sad.

may jonathan rest in peace and his family i wish you the best.

[allthiseverything]

very sad, very touching. May God bless Jonathon and his family and friends.

[drummerchild1]

Just think if your mother or father would die, or if you had a son/daughter that just died...

That made me cry for real...

I wish Jonathans parents a, I dont know what to say. It is so terrible.

Must be terrible to have him in your thoughts forever.

[childofibiza]

Great concept!Great track!Trully touching and Emotional...

[pootersdemoose]

Very beautiful and touching.

[dearsomeone]

[bburditt]

excellent comment

[ShitPickle62]

only on the US iTunes store, in France for example there is no way to buy this song on iTunes, i try i swear it's true

[bizarreoutsider]

Beautiful video. What's the title of the sort of cathartic and cinematic track?

[dearsomeone]

'for jonathan' by the album leaf

[bizarreoutsider]

Oh, I didn't think that was the track title, just the video title. Nice to know!

[PforPandetta]

very moving, five stars

[MapleStoryLovers]

Nice video, good effort! My condolences!!! LISTEN TO OUR video on "maplestorylovers", the name of the song is Promises or Lies, I wrote the lyrics in remembrance, honor and dedication to my beloved father who passed away 4 years ago. Hope you'll like it! "I came (all) alone, and I'll leave (all) alone, but in between I never was... Because of you! In wealth, I maybe poor today. In health, I may also be poor someday. But in life, I never was... Because everyday you made me rich, DAD!!!"

[naomilynne]

Very touching and beautiful.
