Cinder and Smoke - Iron and Wine

[wile2wicked]

hey an awesome video to an awesome song... love what you've done in this... =)

[B7Guzman]

This turned out very well

[glimershimmer]

<3



[MrFenzyBastard]

I clearly love this song , it makes me feel like there's no problem at least, to be honnest i cannot understand all the lyrics cause i'm not english, but the music speaks more than ever !

[ClarenceCoffeeBlack]

if you think about a speed of light ride, you cant even imagine it because its really really really really really really fun

[TheVeedubb]

i would like someone nice to spend time with

[immortalmuffinz]

That girl is really pretty

[MrFenzyBastard]

@immortalmuffinz you can only see her back !!! ;) haahaaaa

[FrancisRamond]

I've added a vidéo comment that needs explaination : this is an original video made for a song (french music), but some of the ideas in the movie are inspirated by your video of Cinder and Smoke, that I like very much. Thanks.

[XanderPetrov]

50 of these 700+ "likes" have got to be mine :)

[gigagunn]

Actually I liked it. I thought the bit at the end was pretty clever (it was a different girl, right?)

[AmphibiousBagel]

@gigagunn Yes, it was a different girl.

[NaraHatsumomo]

That was absolutely amazing!

[Smarties211]

Thats beautiful (:

[SorenHume]

Hahah... What a weakly acted and superficially conceived tripe of a video... a half-baked and clumsy attempt to feign the depth of this band and this song. Is it true that Austin truly is no longer weird with depth... just the facade of it?

[janeLOMEIN]

@SorenHume Ugh. Just stop it.

[SorenHume]

@janeLOMEIN Hahaha... do you try to be everyone's mother on the internet, or am I special?

[janeLOMEIN]

@SorenHume I just hate when people write stupid pretentious bullshit.

[SorenHume]

@janeLOMEIN you're self-loathing?

[augustcaducus]

@SorenHume "What a weakly acted and superficially conceived tripe of a video" -- Where's your video? Or are you just another rude youtube chucklehead?

[SorenHume]

@augustcaducus chucklehead. :/



[alexwiley12]

@SorenHume yes

[HippiePower3]

what a great video!

:]

[Adolf32]

it is a shame she smokes, if she didnt smoke she wouldnt have burnt the house down and died.

[Kennylopezxp]

Calming Soothing and Relaxing(:

[alanahopeable]

L.O.V.E. that tattoo

[alanahopeable]

L.O.V.E. that tattoo

[xDidonax]

this was really beautiful. this makes me remember some memories that I tried to forget. but even if something is over... the memories can be beautiful. and I will never forget the days that I had with him :)

[spectrum99122]

What a shame she smokes! 

[midnitecrimson]

@spectrum99122 bites her nails too...

[lahnakelleymay]

she's pretty (:

[rhbgj]

my favorite waking up song in the morning. Nice how the video hits fits the atmosphere.

[issuespink]

Loved the video.. Loved the ending. She was a different from the bunch of memories, right? if thats the case then i loved the ending. :)

[iamjoedubois]

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you flagged every comment as spam?

[rubynadine1]

Wow I thought this was the original video!!!!! It's lovely!!

[patwrotethis]

what a pretty lady

[SephirothLarva]

I need god...please. I don't have don't have a place to live.

[renodude1]

This is stupid.

[DanielaVenecia]

So deep meaning in a couple of words. The music only makes this song better.

[captainhappyhowdy]

song is great, video is terrible, slow and makes no sense, doesn't convey the feeling of the song in any way

[datngatrel]

"mmm yum yum yum yumyum mmm yum yum yum yumyum mmm yum yum yum yumyum mmm yum yum yum yumyum"

[Oggyx]

All I can say to this... is wow.

[theeargnome]

this was very well done

[peach9879]

Your video meshed well with this beautiful song. Great job!

[sugarcoatedfeces]

i really like your video. i think you both looked very natural in all the scenes which is really different than most music videos you see. the little things like the girls foot tapping, or the slow speed the camera moves were really cool.

[boomer94526]

that girl is gorgeous =)

[TH3REALDIZZEL]

great video i love it a little confused though so is it a different girl then the one he's thinking of ?

[vic2587]

not enough shot variety, and i think a lot of shots are too long and lose effectiveness. on the plus side, you have some good angles and all of the camera motions were smooth. good concept, decent execution!

[spideychick101]

This is the best song for when you're just getting too wound up about stuff that you normally wouldn't care about.

[arsecandle1]

shes stunning, not as stunning as this song tho, but she would still get it!

[1990bedwards]

great job on the vid guys, they better have given you an A+ lol

[JesseDeKoster]

Ex-e-lent!

Only thing I would have changed is the awful blue color grading, but that's my opinion.

Love the end,

Well, actually the start and middtle too.

[artistofwar1]

What a twist

[TheSameDirt]

number one

[jennaahh1234]

I completely get this.

[Orficedestroyer]

i discovered this band about 20 mins ago and have listened to 4 of their songs in a row and have yet to be disappointed, they make very unique and amazing music

[BirthTrashDeath]

absolutely amazing...shows exactly what i am feeling when i hear this song. Thx for putiing this up!

[tanyalishous]

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT Video....truly captures the essence of love!

[laurenundecided]

this was so cute.

[DwydAshquin]

Yes. Lets be unique about things and balk at the "shocking" notion of homosexuality. Why is it that americans are so damn uncomfortable with their own sexuality that they have to constantly call each other gay?

[UndeadInk]

@DwydAshquin Its not exactly that people are uncomfortable with their sexuality that causes people to call each other gay. Its that homosexuality is looked upon as being stupid or or incompetent. So really its just that people are using the word as an insult because they look down on homosexuality. Gay also means happy or blissful so really its not an insult when people throw the word around .

[guitarplayingcat]

2:00 - man Its remarkable how close you look to the late heath ledger.

[bambibifi]

:] It's good. Not amazing, but really good

[MeggieBme]

I love this video. I love the song too. The two put together are harmonious! 

[Magzfoshizzle227]

this is sooo weird.

[GLITTERMAN2000]

who wears socks to bed?

[meganf98]

@GLITTERMAN2000 hahahahaha

[MountainGyspy]

@GLITTERMAN2000 LOL...sometimes when it's really cold. ;)

[stuckinthepast]

@GLITTERMAN2000 who would name themselves glitterman2000?

[GLITTERMAN2000]

@stuckinthepast Prince Charles. 

[ronikan]

a little roughly cut, but great cinematography. the boyfriend is very believable...

[smcosci]

not bad; you know you can do better though--

--anonymous

[justbe99]

nice video.

[kcdunkley]

for me

[t10oreo]

This is very beautifully done and loved the camera work. I loved it

[natalka24]

impressive vid! im not sure of the proper terminology but I found the cuts from one shot to another very appropriate and well done. as well as the shot moving diagonally down on the blanket with stripes on it. sickasssss

[05OsborneRh]

I feel I can connect with that guy. Then again, so can mostly everyone.

[leoaddict]

this song is singing in my soul and its lyrics are writing inspiration on my mind... it's my fave song ever....

[ClassicSlasher]

probably one of the saddest music videos I've ever seen... I don't know why I can't stop watching it.

[nayaraoliveira31]

Yeeeeeeeeeeah :D

[walawa1a]

Go longhorns, nice work!

[julianorgazmic]

I LOVE this video

so peaceful and loving

[gremlinsbreath]

Is it just me? I watched this video and came away with the impression that he's remembering the girl that got away. The girl at the end isn't the same girl.

[ofurbanesuavity]

well done.. i like the song and the video...

although, the video makes me anxious.

[krilla]

i really dig this video guys. its on my fav list. aces. who chose the song?

[mattiecowan]

love the way the camera moves into frame

[JICproductions]

I like this video.

[XanderPetrov]

I have literally watched this video over 40 times within the past month. & every single time I watch it - I love it more & more. Because of the personal experience that will forever be tied to this song - & how it looked SO much like this video... I wanna buy all guys ice cream every day! THANK YOU for making this!

[deadpenetration]

no offense but i dont understand?

[frickenchad]

Love the lightning scene. Really inspiring :)

[hugrygirlz]

how clever..they made it seem like she was cheating..but in reality..he just shaved his mustache..good job

[ZarazAstro]

I like to believe she is inside, in the bedroom, still sleeping:)

[bobmarley148]

great song + video :)

[suzume909]

Nicely done. I love this song so much~~ and kudos for not showing the lyrics literally, word for word... theres another video out there that does just that... :<

Good job though. : ) The scenes between couples are appropriately sensual without being sexual.

[ninalapinax]

Iron and wine calms me down and gives me the time to think about stuff, love it!

[suzume909]

Our endless numbered days.

[LadyNightwish1]

nice song, nice video

[anarxia2009]

hell of a video.....!

[crazykitty9997]

every time i hear this song, i think of this video.

[Lafuma92]

This video is perfekt for that song ;) good job !!

[Vader12Tater12]

Overall the video was okay. Some of the initial cuts were a little 'weird'. They didn't flow right to me... and the panning was just kind of weird (panning is hard, but you pulled it off 'okayly')

And the audio seemd a little off on some part with the video (like the light turning on at the beginning. Overall it was worth a 3*.

Nice try, just a few amateur mistakes my friends and I always make to!! :)

[justone326]

are you people here for the art or to talk shit????????

don't think then write...just listen.

[megintosh]

Really nice!! It reminds me of the video for the song All In Need (AIR)

[cottonmouthsournote]

we were born, not made. We have a choice, it doesn't matter what you think our "nature" is.

[sunnyjim98]

Go back to school and learn to spell

[goga9586]

i get the video u didnt i understadn what i wrote sorry i insulted ur race but if u worked on ur egos u wouldnt get insulted thats why everything in this worl is a mess right? becuse u guys all fight with ur egos all the hate all war all on greed and egos its sad but its ok live life thinking ur perfect then ull really evolve

[UndeadInk]

Firstly I love this song and I adore sams voice.

Secondly.

In the senario that he is in love with another woman yes he should leave this girl. Its not fair to any of them. Its mostly not fair to the girlfriend. How would you feel if your boyfriend was in love with someone else but only staying with you because he felt bad? I've been there. It sucks worse than being broken up with.

But it could be too that the girl in the day dream is a past love he cant get over yet.

[KingHex]

I believe that the context is that he is longing for a lost love. We all remember good days gone past. He's simply attempting to move on. No need to condemn him. Sure, it may suck that for the new girlfriend that he still has those feelings, but only pedophiles can expect to find someone who doesn't regret how an old relationship turned out. Perhaps he loves the new girl very much. Doesn't mean he's forgotten. Love is like herpes, it has a way of coming back again and again.

[Lafuma92]

but herpes sucks :D

and love do not suck^^

[KingHex]

This is true. It's all in the perception really. Love misunderstood can be love lost, and nothing is more tragic. Herpes would suck, but hey, think of them as seasonal acne. Perception is key.

[callemuerte]

@KingHex

It's not lost love..its real love. the whole vid is about this girl he used to be in complete love with...but then he becomes cleansed (ie rain) and his past is blown away (blowing of the leaves) and he is now living a cold/blue life without the true love that he thinks about daily.

[KingHex]

Thus the tragic nature of the story. Many of us know exactly where we want to be in life, but circumstance has rendered us powerless to get there. So we are left with a choice. Do we linger alone, lamenting on what glory we could have seen? Do we attempt to move on a bury those feelings, only to find that love is no simple residue that can be washed off in a heartbeat? A brutal duality is love.

[TwiztidWoozle]

omg that is great. "love is like herpes"

[youngaikidoka]

@KingHex hahahahaa man, "Love is like herpes, it was a way of coming back again and again" that's gotta be my quote of the century :)

[d0ntr4p3m3]

@KingHex I'm going through this sort of thing right now.

[KingHex]

@d0ntr4p3m3  That's rough, friend. It's part of the dance of love. You go through a lot of shit before finally finding the peanut worth eating again.

[marc0sdead]

@KingHex True words of wisdom  -"Love is like herpes, it has a way of coming back again and again"

[UndeadInk]

Since this was sent as a reply to me I regret to tell you that No i'm not gay.

I have a son and a husband.

Perfectly straight thanks. =)

You can call me stupid or moronic or asinine if you please. But Gay is not a word that can be used for any of these words.

And please... If your going to insult someone, at least be unique about it.

Fuckin ass pirate.

[ripsyd]

haha, you slayed him.

well done.

[locoXverdeXpato]

wow. burn. internet burn. unique. ;D

[LiabilityWaver]

lmao! high-five!!

[adoptatellytubbie]

@UndeadInk you mi'lady are my new straight girl idol XD thank you..

[UndeadInk]

@adoptatellytubbie

; ) Why thank ya. I do my best to correct the idiocy I see and hear. But its getting to be pretty damn hard.

[ThisSydeUp]

@UndeadInk homo

[UndeadInk]

@ThisSydeUp Oh, indubitably.

[lakesidewelder]

@UndeadInk lol, well put.

[banshee200]

@UndeadInk Brilliant!

[TheFuzzyBard]

@UndeadInk Lol...Ass Pirate...

[UndeadInk]

@TheFuzzyBard I thought it was rather funny as well

[reusablecatmilk]

@UndeadInk Beautiful reply

[itachishroom42]

@UndeadInk  my god so full of win congratulations on your personal award bamf of time itself

[UndeadInk]

@itachishroom42 I'm slightly confused about what your trying to say to me.

[itachishroom42]

@UndeadInk just saying you told him and that it was don in a badass mother fucking way. :D

[UndeadInk]

@itachishroom42 Oh, I just realized bamf meant bad ass motherfucker. Gotcha, and thanks. Guess i'm a little slow sometimes haha.

[flamingmonkeyboy]

@itachishroom42 i like your screen name itachi + shroom= o yeah

[hataru4never]

@UndeadInk Right on.

[TheWitcherFanboy]

@UndeadInk I just loled :D

[flamingmonkeyboy]

@UndeadInk hahahahahaha, f$%^*(# a@# pirate. new catch phrase

[roughlyhewnstone]

@UndeadInk that could possibly be the best youtube burn I've ever seen someone hit with... made me giggle

[Mailman692]

@UndeadInk that is the least straight comment Ive ever seen

[UndeadInk]

@Mailman692 are you sure? I can think of plenty of things that are less straight than that. Like, hearing a guy say "I Love massive throbbing man meat!". Now that doesn't go without saying that I do enjoy MY MANS meat, but i'm a woman so I think that's pretty straight.

[GodsentHellraiser]

@UndeadInk No meat for you.

[Anne7817]

I love this song x3

[MrSchnitzel19]

Goga you don't get the video hm? -.- you said if he loves her he should just go? And what about the girlfriend/wife he's got right now? Would you like it to just wake up alone one day? -.- Think, then write.

[vermontercm]

Im really really sorry to say this, but I really don't understand what is happening in this video. Love the music though, so much emotion.

[NPC919]

God I can relate to this dude...

Daydreaming and imagining perfect scenarios... I know it all too well... Sucks the ultimate donkey balls.

[Killerclownmeat]

it dosn't just suck balls, it sucks for a while too........(lol innocent words i swear!)

[cronoukie]

wat doesn't suck balls?

[Killerclownmeat]

being only to daydream of the perfect scenario.

[jadekafrin]

sad :/

[goga9586]

men are pathetic if u love her be with her who cares if its hard even if u hurt the person ur with who would u rather hurt the girl u love?... this video makes me cry i love it

[drumluver08]

maybe he loved her, and she left him. he's only trying to move on, but can't seem to do it

[NPC919]

Next time you make a comment Goga, do you mind trying not to insult half the human race? :S

[GodsentHellraiser]

MEN.... Are not pathetic. Boys are. There are very few men, today. Men know what love is. Their mind is controlled by their hearts... Boys.... Do I need to say it?

[UndeadInk]

And I agree.

My husband is a man.

=)

[suzume909]

It's not always that easy. D: She may have broken it off, or even DIED...

He's obviously with his partner for a reason- he loves her as well. You havent been in many relationships, I assume. It's hard to understand if you havent been there already.

[suzume909]

Oh and nice use of the tattoo for reference. :)

[iGabbsi]

So basically, He was longing to be with this other girl, when he was actually with the woman he was with now. He was dreaming about the other woman, that he longed to be with? :]

[nwvkxc]

Should've used a more different-looking actress.

[Chuggernaught13]

I agree, it's hard to understand that the woman in his dreams is different than the one in his bed.

[theeyeisblind]

heh i've felt that before, 4 friggin years of it. i always had great dreams about my ex and how she fulfilled everything i needed, only to wake up to reality. to a girl that wouldn't ever fill those needs

although at least my ex wasn't a damn smoker like his dream girl, although that was prolly added to give her an edge.

[mattcifelli]

those funky digital clock numbers are signs of lucid dreaming

[malooable]

really? but the girls look very VERY similar... ;)) if it really should say "he's thinkin of another girl" maybe it'd be better to choose different looking actors ? ;)

[gitfiddler90]

Oh wow stewbomb20. U r right. I can't believe i never noticed that b4. I really thought he was remembering times with his wife, but it is another girl. Oops.

[gitfiddler90]

This vid is amazing. Makes me think of my girlfriend and just how badly we want to get married and how much I love her. One day I will get to wake up next to her every morning. What a great thing to look forward to!

[stewbomb20]

its about him dreaming of another women.

[iGabbsi]

That is so sweet. :]

[coliene1977]

There's nothing quite like incredible longing.... I really like this.

[jeffumz100]

this video was fucking amazing, i really almost cried at  0:40 - 1:02

[acousteve1]

awsome, i really liked it, brings back a lot of memories.

[emericamade]

RTF?

[parcerman]

wtf is RTF?

RTF is the department of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin. Its the film school.
