A Lighthouse's Tale

[rsmem4life]

This is a Great song and a Great video. It should have more views than it does now.

[0kGemmyBeanOk]

I watched this a few years ago and my brother mentioned it to me the other day so I thought I had to re-watch it. Actually cried like a small child! Excellent animation! :)

[LovelyRoxxy]

Beautiful song and beautiful animation, it really brings out the deep meaning of the song.... I cried so hard when the keeper found his fiancee's body on shore and ultimately jumped off the lighthouse.

[21chargers17rock56]

Makes me sad:'(

[FedSkull]

this song is so sad i cried :'(

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

Reminds me of the beautiful Annabel Lee...

[LiveForEveryMoment]

wow, great job. I was amazed at how an animated comic could almost make me cry. beautiful stuff. kudos

[TehPunishment]

oops would dislike*

[TehPunishment]

This is amazing. I can't believe wouldn't dislike this video. ( Imagine being the lighthouse, you cant jump off yourself :'( poor guy)

[EnderWiggin85]

Great video! I actually cried while watching this. Funny how you were able to evoke such strong emotions from something that resembles a video game demo. Keep up the good work!

[cheesybacon1000]

What if that guy fell off the lighthouse? Haha

[2001DeerHunter]

this song is the best

[abigailnicole100]

i love this song it means alot to my dad for some reason ?!?!

[imagamergirl19]

im a girl but im really tough and u will never see me cry only if its somthing saddddd but this song made me get tears in my eyes like this if it made u cry or get tears in ur eyes

[MsAm0rfati]

when I first saw this years ago I wondered what something like this would feel like, now I wish I never wondered at all :(

[NewAgeTJ]

i watched this video a couple years back and i cried; i watched it again last year and i cried; i watched it now and it reminds me of what has been, and what can never be.

[12sideswipe]

@NewAgeTJ same here

[NewAgeTJ]

i watched this video a couple years back and i cried; i watched it again last year and i cried; i watched it now and it reminds me of what has been, and what shall never be.

[attilako]

super

[Mattjblythe111]

Have the best memories of this song and of THIS VIDEO. =P Reeeally good work.

[XxXxCrimsonxXxX]

Man this song still makes me almost cry ahah...

[Smileyave2]

More people should see this.

[fieryfaeriefury]

Amazing job. I watched this video and I love the simplicity. It evokes emotions and really touches something deep inside.

[BeatlesGeorgeJohn]

that was EPIC!!!

[DefLeppardBrad]

good song until the keeper killed himself

[MrBob1101]

Yeah dude I cried a little. It was sad

[springfairy556]

Okay, so I have watched videos of this song and even made one with images of my favorite lighthouse, and its a sad song,but I never cried as much as I did in this one, seeing him cry like that was really heartbreaking.

[springfairy556]

I love lighthouses and this song.

[abomb27150]

the scary thing is that this is more relavent and all around better than the actual music video

[springfairy556]

@abomb27150

Yeah.Someone else made a video as well, but it was real people and it fit the video more than Nickel Creek's video.XD

[Smileyave2]

:'( that is all i have to say :'(

[locoslrak]

I love this video. I saw it many years ago and recently rediscovered it; and i still makes my wife and I cry.

[zachattachnsc]

Wow, man..... GREAT job...



[gainerb77]

so sweet! :(

[megaolives]

this is fuckin awesome sad though:'(

[Inkhart]

Can't stop watching this!

[WeeTubaGirl]

U did so well with this!!

[tokajo]

OMG that was sooo sad,,,,it made me cry it was soo deep

[angelwhispers1023]

that has got to be the most heart wrenching little cartoon I have ever seen. Bravo

[vikkigaile]

well it is a sad song, and you did an amazing job, you portrayed the song to its very core.

[Promses2Keep]

This video has become an old friend now...I watch it every few years or so, and it reminds me how pain can sometimes be beautiful.

[puppywuv525]

this song and video always make me cry somehow

[masten12344]

awsome video man, its was sad. lol

[TheRosiePuppy]

my brother's accapella group did this song and it was different, but still pretty good.

[DrBrothas]

Awesome animation!

Those other comments had typos and whatnot, so I deleted them.

I'm singing this for my school's talent show next year.

This girl at school said she'd only play her violin in the show (She's AWESOME!) if I sang.

I had searched around for a song to sing, and I almost gave up when my brother showed me this video.

LOVE it!

[madinthemoon]

This was beautiful. I've loved this song for years, but I was so happy to see it realized. Amazing job.

[polosportjay32]

What kind of software would need to make my own videos like this? What software did you use?

[Imdotty1o1]

omg loved this!!! its really sad but si is the song so i guess it fitts...

[dimwitsband]

Wow, just remembered this song. I loved it so much when I first saw it a few years back. Still makes me feel sad today. Love this video and song so much!

[BaconButtie123]

I keep coming back to this song when I'm feeling down.

[pearljammer13]

That was too good, my heart hurts now.

[Gaaralover93]

LOVE IT!

[Lulu6066]

wow first i love this song and second WOW tht was soooo cool!!!! i cant believe it it came along great!!! love it

[angelgirl148]

IT's a heartbreaking song.

[finespy]

i always have a tear in my eye when i hear this

[JocelynnInez]

aww! I love this song! And great job on the video!! This song always makes my heart ache!!

[codenamebabe]

The song is beautiful enough, but to have such powerful animations, it brings so much more power to the song. i would love to see the same type of animation done for "When you come back down".

[kingdommasters3]

I liked when he went splat! :)

[videogirl7s]

my chior teacher played this song for us and just about everyone wanted to cry

[potatopersons]

[celticwoman112]

omigosh i didnt know he actually jumped off and killed himself in the end D: it made my heart beat faster!! DX it's so well done omg i love this<33

[razorblades1231]

[fireyeyedtyrants]

[caralineeleven11]

i like this song. reminds me of when i was a little kid, and my parents would play it :P

[math937]

WOW IT IS AWESOME!!

[Swatme101]

this is truely a great video, and a very nice representation of the song.

this song always makes me tear up, and sometimes even cry. idk, it just hits a emotional note in my mind.

[IHadACatOnce]

Nickelcreek should be ashamed of their official video. This simplistic computer animation is amazing. Very well done.

[widda012]

man....... this was my first time watching this and you mad me cry very well done

[Raytheon]

This video always makes me tear up. This video is simply awesome.

[kiraandjacob]

The song is a heart breaking song and goes very well with the video and touches my heart.I watch this video a millon times an hour.I LOVE this video.

[kickflipkb]

This song is heart-wrenching but when coupled with this video it adds to the story and makes me cry every time.

[Minanishiro]

Amazing

[xPOSTiTNOTEBANDiTSx]

[whybenormal4you]

for Amy who rocks!

[ZekeNecroshade]

Dude, that's messed up.... I mean, I didnt cry but it was kinda sad

[JazzieFreshh]

I agree... every time I watch this video and listen to the song it makes me cry... :'(

[piccalol]

This song is incredibly depressing.

Miss you, Adrian.. love you always. :\

[bigpapadragon]

I am a manly man and I say that with the deepest emotion but this song always makes me cry

[watsthatsmell]

i hear that *tear* one of the best songs ever. <3 <3

[xNorixx]

Good job!!

[Heneuso]

I always get goosebumps and have to cry.

[Sephiralen]

wtf

[mike5424]

made in......

[hack5678]

so sad

[limabeing]

maritimes are canadas retarded little b rother

[gir2eatjazz]

Amo questa canzone è davvero triste e la versione inglese è migliore poi cantato la versione italiana."

[sakurachan116]

I cried when I heard this. Its beautiful, but very very sad T_T it just comes to show how far someone will go in the name of love

[Andrewsantoro28]

a great man once said the difficutly is not in dying for someone else but rather someone else worth dying for...this a true testament to that

[harbok1]

dieng*

[aaaaaa001001]

dying*** you're retarded

[paigebaby145]

this song made me cry.

[squeekems]

I don't want to seem sick when I say this, but I love making people cry with things such as this. You know the person is thinking of something truly dear to their existence (I'd say life instead of existence, but clearly we can exist past our lives, as this video portrays). I don't believe in God, but I don't think we are just mulch for trees when we die either. I just believe we continue our existence past our life.

[piratewhore]

Gosh Jack your so morbid :l

And this song is beautiful D:

[LIGHTHOUSES4LIFE]

I wasn't expecting that to be sad. It was although very touching and moving, quite upsetting too. Atleast they get to be together in heaven. xxx

[Merizz70]

that touched me :'( reminds me of the girl who i love

[SirwLove]

This is a great song ... and while the folks in Nickle Creek did a fine performance video... this sweet animation touched me over and over ... thanks soo much

[WatchMeWatchYYou]

that was awesome..love the animation..love the song

[highlyxoriginal]

i love his voice... it is so pure! the range of it is also quite impressive. good animation!

[YogurtInBudapest17]

"I was so happy, but joy in this life seldom lasts."

The perfect quote from a perfect song.

[FastDashEight]

I can't describe the sheer awesomeness of that song. It's just too great. I love songs that tell stories.

And paired with that fantastic animation, it has quickly become one of my all time favorites.

[MatsjoneMunthe]

Amazing work man! very beautiful =)

[watkits]

Very moving. i consider it beautifully sad! thanks for sharing.

[closetdoom]

Bro this is da BOMB nice work!

[singindablues11]

thank you so much for this. this awesome i love how u portray the people at the end when they are dead and it is like they are there and it is just all their best memories very good song very good video!

[AnTnYakaSpaz]

Dude! that is some amazing work. great song, great video. Good job

[dimovelijah]

nice video!! what program you were using for this? i wish i could do that!!

[InsecureLemon]

Beautiful. Much better than the 'official' one imo.

But just something I think took away from the video a bit was the X's in the girl figure's eyes. It kind of made that part of the video seem comical.

Loved it all the same though.

[YogurtInBudapest17]

Very true. That's the most serious/sad part. Right on for commenting on it.

[Skeeter775]

I have to admit, this video is amazing. It's considerably better than Nickel Creek's own video of the song. Congratulations, you truly captured the theme of the song and illustrated it flawlessly in your video.

[4leefcl0vr]

depressing song

[piratesrule87]

it's so sad, yet beautiful! i still almost cry each time i watch it.

[npharis]

zeb6701 thats so sweet .

[whoohoozie]

I love this video but it is a little sad. but who is danna e. wightley

[snafudave]

My Grandma.

[Zeb6701]

i could not agree more. this was my first song i heard for nickel creek. and i cried when i hear it and i still do. because i love my wife dearly adn if something happened to her i would surely kill myself to be with her.

[angelofinsanityy]

I've always loved this song and this video displays the sweet story brilliantly.

[nanhunters56]

[california236]

I Completely Agree

[ForgottenSoldier62]

You know... I don't usually cry from songs... but someone I cared for died in a storm at sea. So this song really hit home for me.

It's a very sad song, yet so very beautiful...

[miracleshappen22]

[Makdaddy6964]

[ZeeConstantine]

[tommygirl2012]

i know its supposed to be sad but i think its funny cute

[daniellassander]

this is a very sad song, i have listened to this song for around 2 years.

Good video to the song, i enjoyed it.

[Me1Is1JoJo]

Aww.. That's so cute, but sad... I loved it, though...

[tristyn5]

ive been listening to this song since i was little and still it saddens me.

[thephilippe]

sight, makes you sad once in a while to hear such a story, to bad there are even wurse thing that happen on this world

[booknerd234]

OMG I love Nickcreek!! They play bluegrass without the southern drawl. This is one of my favorite songs by them!! The little people in the video were cute!!5/5

[saintvolcom]

wow that was really good

[pokemonmaster3678]

love the song but its soooo sad T-T

[12BeachGal34]

is this a true story??? :(

[IruShatterglass]

this is so unique. I applaud you for posting the song in its entirety, the vids i have seen for this song usually cut out the last verse due to the fact that the keeper commits suicide to join his wife.....a wonderful creation.

[angelgirl148]

I should note it was his fiancee because it states he was going to marry her, but they never did.

[pixipirate]

Wow, this is really good! Bravo

[JoeButt22]

I've always loved this song and when i saw this video it relly hit me and i realized so much more about it

[gamestopnate]

Absolutely great. I wish I was as talented as either the group or the producer of this video. I'm so jealous. ;)

[captaindampson]

Wow, this is actually a really good video. I thought it would be goofy, but it maintains a really light atmosphere, while simultaneously helping to tell the grant story told by this song. I'm very impressed.

[ilikeclimb]

this is great.

[star9309]

I like the song and the video expressions, it was cute and funny. When I first saw this video on your site, man it just made me cry. Dude, your really good.

[2freaksandaphone]

this is my favorite song this video is amazing to what program did you use to make it

[caityn423]

love the song...so good yet sad..

[BaconButtie123]

Love this song and video!

[XxMoonlightShamanxX]

This is SO awesome. How'd you do it???

[funkydancer943]

I love this song, and this video is great to go with it! Amazing work!
