Manchester Orchestra - The River

[karlypilkoids]

6 people have no soul.

[IntergrateThisFool]

Saw these guys live in Manchester. Absolutely epic. Usually after a gig I am disappointed but that was not the case. According to Andy Hull, I'm Karl Pilkington...

[khatchaaa]

MO fan for over 4 years...i love you guys, your music has helped me with some of the toughest times in my life

[harper1086]

There is so much emotion in this song. It makes me want to fall to my knee's and express how blessed I am.

[HE4DACH3]

The pure emotion in this song is overwhelming. So amazing.

[lovealwayskota]

This song makes me feel things I can't explain.

[beckey101]

I seriously love this song so so much it's scary <3

[exercez]

If this song were a pancake it would be a good pancake

[Atreyu719]

@exercez that was beautiful

[RyanMatthias]

"LET ME SEE AGAIN!!!" I love Andy. And I love God.

[owhatitiis10]

It sounds like Jack Johnson

[gaeta34]

@owhatitiis10 Not even close.

[RyanMatthias]

5 people are doomed to lives of despair and shit.

[joriot10]

AWSOME SONG!!!

[xotetxx3]

i just really don't understand how any human being could dislike this.

[likemonstersalldays]

@xotetxx3 some people are just born happy and they bounce of this kind of feel

[bluddog101]

Rihanna just ruined this video...

[joriot10]

@bluddog101 LOLL

[natlovesberries]

this song is way better live !

[funnymonkey19]

If you love them, check out Brand New. I found Brand New before MO, and both bands have outstanding lyrics. Their songs are so true to life.

[bronxboi87]

I cant listen to this band in the winter. I'm always getting chills

[xXxMOLTARxXx]

@bronxboi87 try living in Canada :P

[dinote14]

@bronxboi87 A nice stiff drink mixed with the first snow fall, good friends, a warm hole in the wall all while listening to music like this... Can't beat that contented feeling. 

[smalltownboy31]

add me!! manchester orchestra fans!!

[MrJase0027]

I love This song!!! and I miss the girl that showed it to me.

[smalltownboy31]

My favorite Man O song!! hands down!

[MysticGohan091]

I don't often get mad about people talking crap about video's, but then I hear a song like this, then I see dislikes, then I wonder, are those peoples ears broken? I don't care what type of music you listen to, You have to be pretty dumb to not enjoy this, can't find beauty in this, I bet you find ugly people attractive too, sheesh

No offense to the ugly people

[sjmartin68]

I saw them in London last Friday and they closed the set with this, its was beyond epic. Truly amazing artists genuinely loving what they do, performing fantastic music.

[peteypete1981]

EPIC!

[karejoc1]

<3 i'v loved you guys since 2006 ... has never changed

[anticon1992]

This song...I freakin love this song...

[wicketts16]

Warning:

Do not watch the Amanaemonisia video in the recommendations. It blows ass, it was like they went back into a time machine to the 80's and and buttfucked some shitty sound recorder and played shitty music.

[hanna8banana]

I love the emotion on the last two let me see agains, shit

[BiggestDread]

I love how every song I like by Manchester Orchestra has its own video.

[mistermen440]

@BiggestDread i like how the videos are fucking awesome.

[IamDaCook]

@BiggestDread I swear they did a video for every song on the album!

[MsSchuk]

aw damn this version is cut off!! did you guys know the cd version is 11:33 long?? the most beautiful acoustic song is the second part....ugh it's so great. love this cd :D

[dtupy08]

@MsSchuk those are just 2 bonus songs after The River they have names, its not one song.

[MsSchuk]

@dtupy08 well, I bought the cd and The River is an 11:34 minute song, there's like a super long break in between this song here and then an acoustic one comes after. I wish it was separate tho

[dtupy08]

@MsSchuk it's not separate on the physical album but this is how its setup; Track11. "The River" (contains hidden track "Jimmy, He Whispers") 11:33 mins

[NomNomChew]

Dear VEVO, I apologize for these impatient, ungrateful youtubers. I would like to tell you how I appreciate your HD videos.

[sillychica794]

I'm seeing Manchester Orchestra in October. I'm the most excited to hear this one.

[stupido1100]

Dear VEVO, we hate you. Go die. THE END  :D

[9mochabear3]

You don't know how amazing this song is until you see it live.

[jaredhubla2]

Why does he say "I'm going to leave you the first chance I get?"

[teejay89656]

@jaredhubla2 I think it's him talking to God. "I'm going to leave you the first chance i get" represents his frustration that he's going to sin again the next time he's tempted.

[cheesypopcorn9]

nothing beats this live.

[adubrd1223]

hooked on the first verse... damn this is good stuff

[anticon1992]

this is honestly one of my favorite songs out there. absolutely love it

[MUSICmissamp24]

Raw emotion and powerful lyrics... Gotta love Manchester Orchestra <3

[BrandNewMeets182]

I'm gonna leave you the first chance i... get... *amazing comeback* completes song... with an awesome over power of the piano. NICE.

[KidPlayingPiano]

I find this easy to masturbate to

[PonchMasterFlexx]

they are like mumford and sons but more intense

[MUSICmissamp24]

@PonchMasterFlexx And they've been around a bit longer, just saying.

[nuggetboy19]

why the hell are the commercials so damn loud now?

[matthew5551]

seeing them live will change you, awsome performence live.

[jtr5877]

So much emotion in this song. Its friggen great. Best song they've done.

[MoarBeans]

This is the only song in the world that can make cry with an erection.

[mrshammett]

i'm gonna leave you the first chance i get.

[gaeta34]

If you pause through all the pictures during the main part ("Oh God I need it"), You realize that they are quite beautiful. Yet they are flashed into your brain with subliminal means.

[Mootsba]

i love manchester orchestra, the only thing is i dont understand all of their songs yet 

[slatedog57]

Good friggin song.

[bigjeezy210]

i can not get enough of this song!

[odst444666]

can someone please help me! i have this song on my ipod, and at the end of it starts up another song by these guys, it's an acoustic and he's singing about how we used to be brothers or something, i would love to know what this song is called!

[element9165]

@odst444666 they do a cover of "brother" by the annuals, that might be it.

[ShadowFangedFox]

@odst444666 I am pretty sure it's called Jimmy whispers and it's the bonus track at the end.

[odst444666]

@ShadowFangedFox oh my god! i can't view it in my country.. i just raged.

[jlfflaco]

@odst444666 The songs called Jimmy, He Whispers.

[stusvend]

@odst444666 The secret track is called "Jimmy, he whispers."

[bsievs09]

All of their videos are amazing. Such beautiful imagery to go along with such amazing songs.

[oodlesofkadoozles]

@jenhz, Maybe they were so emotional/excited that they clicked they clicked dislike instead of like. It could happen!

[jenhz]

Ok, who's that one fucker that disliked this video?!

[marvinj71]

manchester orchestra is the fucking shit

[SYNgasmSevenfold]

I swear I watch this video like 5 times a day...

[Crankdathalo2]

Fucking beautiful.... just fucking beautiful..

[murphy1907]

Love

[ShadeStalker1915]

Brand New

Modest Mouse

Manchester Orchestra

Radiohead

Thrice.

This, is beautiful music.

[iluvbaking]

@ShadeStalker1915 Are you me?

[ShadeStalker1915]

@iluvbaking Possibly. 

[Aspenshadow721]

@ShadeStalker1915 Try out Listener - Wooden Heart.

[pcfolsom95]

@ShadeStalker1915 you just listed all of my favorite bands!!!

[xsidDviciouss]

@ShadeStalker1915 you should add noel gallagher to that list.

[killedxromance]

That 1 person missclicked.

[TheKarlAnthonyyy]

This week I'm speaking at my church and I requested our worship leader learn The River.... He totally did.

[kayyy5400]

@TheKarlAnthonyyy

you must have awesome worship

[lifeofnerds1and2]

1 person didn't get taken to the river..

[missraenose]

There is one dislike... That guy is a jerk.

[mrboulais]

Manchester Orchestra has a powerful fucking sound

[itllbetoolate]

Whatever you believe, Manchester Orchestra does have a trace of christianity in their music. Christianity is the right thing. People are atheist just because theyre selfish and want to do things their own way without feeling guilty.

[darthpat256]

@itllbetoolate LOL

[HollowKostReNeGaDe]

@itllbetoolate and thats not the christian way by you calling them selfish and if a athiest read that comment he would be think wow another dumb ass christian thinking he is better than everyone else. your not, your lesser by belittling someone instead of speaking the good of god to them. i am part hebrew and a christian and i know some of my brother of judism dont believe in jesus our lord and savior but im not going to say your dumb. you need to man up bro and not be a bully.

[1VeryModestMouse]

@HollowKostReNeGaDe It is absolutely selfish to be an atheist. It is not God's plan and does not offer the greatest benefit of our abilities to others. You should not call people stupid, but I don't think that's what he said. There is no reason to beat around the bush that atheism is wrong. It's very difficult to speak out about the glory of God in everyday life with all the anti-christian sentiment ridden in our culture, so I think people feel liberated when they can safely behind the computer

[HollowKostReNeGaDe]

@1VeryModestMouse i never said he said that Athiest were stupid. I just know that when i went with some of my fellows brothers on a Witness at a local mall ( My church is Harvest Ministries With Pastor Greg Laurie) and we came upon a Athiest we started speaking to him and he heared and when he wanted to talk to us about The Big Bang some of the people winessing said no we will not listen to Lies, whoever thaught you that was a liar. i mean come on show them respect and ever since than i noticed.

[1VeryModestMouse]

@HollowKostReNeGaDe Much respect brother, but what I really mean is that we shouldn't sugar coat things. Without God, you will die. I'm not promoting going up to atheists shouting that they are sinners, (we all are) but rather when confronted with the topic be brutally honest... ok maybe just honest :P I just look at the way Jesus spread the word of God, with kindness and patience, but with harsh truth when it was necessary. For he is the Light.

[Yourfacecrackah]

@1VeryModestMouse iwthout god we will die? i think not. i am an athiest, and im alive and im enjoying the ride. probably a hell of a lot more than alot of people with their organized religion and tight schedules with church and stuff. like, ive got nothing against religion, but i think its kind of extreme to say "Without god you will die."

Jus' sayin...

[1VeryModestMouse]

@Yourfacecrackah I believe in one reality, always have. Even before I decided to believe in God, so to me there is a single truth. There are no extremes with truth, just a single unchanging reality. Dig deeper you will find infinity :D

[HollowKostReNeGaDe]

@1VeryModestMouse that alot of christians are that way and i know that you shouldnt be that rude. i mean your trying to turn people to God not drive them away. and being behind the computer comment, i was taught were not to be affraid of the people and evil for god will be with us. IDK, i dont thing Jesus will want us to put his children down even if there wrong.

[msmary010]

I love these videos. Ive recently started listening to a lot of manchester orchestra and it seems like each video tells a story. Is there a particular order to these videos?

[rollsofjellyjoel]

probably my favorite band

[DontClickOnThis]

best fucking song ever.

and i have heard ALOT of songs

[odst444666]

@DontClickOnThis i completely agree out of the 312 artists on my ipod these guys are number one.

[AmityCal9]

I see my entire life in this song.

[33jmt33]

who's the douche bag that disliked it?

[boofieman]

Get out Vevo.

[britishemokid79]

This is the most connected I've felt to manchester orchestra's music .. the river

oh the fact that I am given a second chance at life .. I feel honored .. that's what it reminds me of .. my second chance.. sure it may not be a hymnal .. but nonetheless it should captivate us in a concept of love and redemption not religion..

[plays0with0knives]

fuck spirituality, the music in itself reduced me to tears. i'm agnostic, i could care less about what your connection with god is, but the first time i heard my song i literally laughed and cried at the same time. it's powerful. even without any christian connections, this song is moving.

[Sairisan]

@plays0with0knives I too am agnostic and completely agree this song is so emotional, no matter what belief you hold

[dubstepdisco]

@plays0with0knives pussy

[superchick00141]

one dude got water from the river splashed in his eyes and accidently clicked the dislike button

[iloveit1102]

great song! but a hymn? come on....

[StanAlphabetski]

@iloveit1102 it is spiritual to him, as it appears to be for many other people.

don't bash on people for how they feel, you just get a bunch of people pissed off.

[iloveit1102]

@StanAlphabetski I dont care how spiritual it is to him....that is the problem..spirituality has become something we feel and then becomes relative to each individual person....thats bull.....and yes, it is still sad that someone equates this song, although good, to a hymn....that is sad!!

[MrJbyker]

@iloveit1102 What were hymns when they first came out but just regular songs that someone wrote. The church decided that they should be sung in church and from there they became known as hymns. What separates them from this song. Only the fact that this song is newer and wasn't accepted by Church council members as "acceptable" for being sung in church.

[sarah15106]

ii feel like b**ch slapping the one person who disliked this T.T

how in the HELL can you dislike manchester orchestra?!?!<3

[tenpinweakness]

The 2nd part to this song is so ridiculously good. They should not have chopped it off. If you haven't heard it... you don't know what you are missing.

[odst444666]

@tenpinweakness whats it called?

[Zennosaidosan]

@odst444666 It's called "Jimmy, He Whispers". Though, I prefer to think of them as one song.

[xXawkwardsilenceXx]

i hate pop tarts

[StaticZac]

@xXawkwardsilenceXx Blasphemy!!!

[ericabob1]

People today have forgotten what a true "love song" or heartfelt song even is! People think that bruno mars, akon and lil wayne have songs about love, but that's not it - their songs about love and feelings are bull crap, nothing gets more REAL than this...nothing

[FreakStomp95]

I want to cry almost every time it gets to that piano part at 2:47, makes me want be driving in the country, night or day, fast, with a cool breeze all around me.

[MKP43]

SO fucking goos man i love it !! keep em coming bros...you are making history

[TheDrewsky112]

Is this song about dying and wanting to be reborn again

I love this band they are my all time favorite i wish i was as good aas andy hull

[mightymouse1468]

its hurts me as a person seeing that this beautiful song has only 37,000 views and pitbull's i know you want me has 145,000,000

[rfrederick3]

@mightymouse1468 and i'm a mormon!

[Phishization]

@mightymouse1468 What about Justin Bieber .... no talent atall but the stupid kid got tons of views fans and money ....

[TheChexer1231]

@Phishization

Not that I like Justin Bieber at all, but he does have talent. Quit bitching about the kid and maybe people will forget about him

[somessentialway]

the best double exposure video ever...... tis beautiful

[92AlleyKat]

"I'm gonna leave you the first chance i get, I'm gonna leave you the first chance i get"

this always gets me.

[boofieman]

Thumbs up if Vevo sucks.

[RudysohipsterTV]

@boofieman Paying the artist and making the song free is wrong, I know, I know the feeling.

[solivias94]

This song is so spiritual but not in an annoying preachy way. I love it

[bbliss17]

this band is incredible, Andy hull is one of the best song writers.

[gugmi01]

great song! i wish they would appear more in their music videos though!

[berlynn911]

I just found these guys today and already I cannot stop listening to them. It's addicting, in a good way. If an addiction can be good. <3

[kimdian]

it will be aright!!

[lily79673]

these music videos are amazing. the camera skills are fabulous

[OKkidA1]

Beautiful. . . . Simply Beautiful.

[hundres]

this song marries lyrics and music together so well. i can only listen in amazement as this song carries through me.

[OhMyFirstLove]

..Most of there videos..they look like dreams kinda.

[paperxheartt]

@OhMyFirstLove they do<33

[citizenflek]

i have no religious affiliation and this song is spiritual as shit! i bought the album instead of stealing it.. thats how religion should be..

[EpicFailEmilee]

i love what they did with their videos. how they made one for every song and together they tell a story. its amazing.

[greeneyez0099]

Hahaa this song definitely has a meaning...

[jacosupreme]

Very powerful and moving song! brilliant!

[forestgirl777]

I hadn't heard the song before now, but at the chorus I very literally got chills.

[South4TheSummer]

" Oh God, I need it, so let me sing again. Take me to the River and let me see again. Oh my God, let me see again."

This song moves me more than any hymn.

[sexysadiesays]

@South4TheSummer I was just thinking the very same thing.

This is song is truly perfect.

[South4TheSummer]

@sexysadiesays I love your user name! Very Beatles of you:) You probably listen to them ALMOST as much as I do! haha!

[iloveit1102]

@South4TheSummer

thats sad

[iloveit1102]

"this song moves me more than any hymn"

That is sad..........

[South4TheSummer]

@iloveit1102 Why?

[odst444666]

@South4TheSummer just ignore him, if he feels like being ignorant then let him be.

[Starsxboulevards]

I think I talk to you best when I sing. I sing about almost everything.

[marisolekhaeterina]

<33

[57881611]

this song gives me chills :)

[readsamread]

@57881611 me too :)

[agalloway87]

let me see again

[antiher074]

oh my god

[DeBoWed]

let me see again
