José González - Down The Line

[stermi10]

is it just me or is this song about overcoming addiction and being redemed

[mylesdem]

I saw Jose live a couple years ago, he was incredible.

[pianoxavier]

COMEEEE ONNNN ALMOST 1,000 LIKESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[havik82]

@pianoxavier

+1 from me... I did my part =)

[pianoxavier]

@havik82 hahah yeah thanks!

[18vicu]

it seems that this video is based on a movie made by Hayao Miyazaki named "Porco Rosso"...

The movie is about an italian pilot who has been cursed and has been transformed into a pig. Once called Marco Pagot, he is now known to the world as "Porco Rosso", that in italian means "Red Pig"...

[leslieburger19952]

i drove to this song and this song only for almost 4 hours. then i got lost:/ great fucking song!

[lovemenowyoumonster]

This song makes me close my eyes, sway, and smile.

[daromes01]

@lovemenowyoumonster Exactly same here !!

[lottiefazzoh]

some sexy pigman

[nekoloi]

its porco rosso when hes older,

[uglydollsinc123]

@nekoloi lol

[RGYOGI]

great song to rock out to.

[englishaccentguy]

one of my favorite videos ever!!

[RainbowPaint]

This song is beautiful

[watchthispk]

this is one of those songs you can feel in your heart.

[theomarcus]

why Jose is not one the largest draws in the world is surprising. I a surprise I most welcome.

[kenstrm]

20 people are tottally deaf

[carlitobenito]

Don't let the darkness eat you up!

[fffarmaaa]

fuckin pigman is lonely too.

[evamonica1970]

beautiful and sad and awesome

[NathanNovoa23]

this is such a good video.

[KirkyMcgoo]

Dig it big time.......i am the pig

[ReminiscenceHr]

@KirkyMcgoo I guess we're all the pig-man.

[cephalopodgyzym]

This video is based off the Jim Woodring comic "Manhog Beyond the Face".

[christlicker]

Um... wow.

[chino279305]

ELLA? what is that .. ALLE? ELAL? LAEL? some body help lol

[aemc1986]

@chino279305 "she"

[trickface]

@chino279305

Make it up in your head, There's a fat and lonely pig having a sad old time in the woods. Ella was probably his partner or daughter at one point, he probably fucked that up like a lot of other things in his little Pig life. He writes it on the glass because it reminds him of happy times like not a lot does nowadays.

[kickbuckets]

@chino279305 ELLA is spanish for "her"

[chino279305]

@kickbuckets :) gracias

[Big5000K]

I feel so bad for pig man, a great man who is shunned for his looks.

[Btrstarwolf]

forever alone

[boomboxer100]

LOADED SUMMER AND THE ORANGATANG ADVENTURES!=)

[itchieG]

i've listened to this song 15 times already today and can hapily listen to it another 15 times,,,, fantastic :)

[davidkzoo]

ads = reterd

[speciesofpositive]

@davidkzoo idiot



[davidkzoo]

@speciesofpositive drunk

[pogie691]

record company ironically is pig man but José González doesn't know it so he sings their songs that offer no solution only enlighten us to problems we already know are here. lennon sang about solutions and wrote his own songs. this is just acoustic wrist slashing radiohead with a hint of spanish fly.

[gavrilo2007]

Hey, it's ManBearPig!

[davidkzoo]

i HATE vevo.

[HolleinKesepton]

such a beautiful song and video, truly this is one video which contends with the level of beauty of the song, really enjoy it

[ajmh4545]

this just made me bawl.

[TheDolob]

The true effects of Swine Flu. <3

[1cupofwater]

i have played this song 9 times in the last 14 hours, man this dude is good, the guitar beat n dudes voice is hypnotizing, i see problems down the line but music makes the problems go away

[patton223]

i love this video and song !!!

[falkowski12]

This song makes me super sad but its still great((=

[QuistTV]

awesome song, the world needs more songwriters like this.

[patton223]

great song...........

[ack303]

I should stop reading comments for my favorite songs...

[MsDementedArts]

@ack303 its so true the comments sometimes ruin it. but I have that curiosity issue, I just. gotta. know! (bad curiosity, bad!)

[ack303]

@MsDementedArts I know right! Guilty of the same

[b2o4e]

Eh. idk what the pig man represents. i guess its ignorance or stupidity. but it looks like he committed arson and he is trying to continue with his life but the guilt is too much. dunno.

like if you look closely at 0:07 you can see the burning house.

[oshivia]

I love this, It's amazing

[mx6lover]

I want to ride a quad, leave your feelings and philosophies at home under you pillow.

[moviemaestro001]

i love this song. its beautiful + actually has a meaning.

does anyone know the chords/strumming pattern? i really want to be able to play it

[ebronson78]

HOw have I never heard of this guy. Excellent!

[marija987]

@ebronson78 Same question I ask myself when I heard this song for first time.

[anonymous0s0egion]

Jose, the problem with the world is that people like you and I are not only ahead of our time but ahead of our species it seems. We'll wind up killing ourselves off before we're able to better ourselves. It's worth trying in the meantime however, and remaining optimistic, but the current situation, unfortunately, seems abysmal.

[dav1disradical]

@anonymous0s0egion

You aren't "ahead of your time or species", you are no better than anybody else. We are all in the same boat. Stop being a self-righteous prick.

[anonymous0s0egion]

@dav1disradical

Stop comparing yourself to someone like me. I know you got to find a way to feel god about yourself but you should actually work on being more like me rather than just saying you are. Merry belated christmas.

[dav1disradical]

@anonymous0s0egion Sorry, but I'm not comparing myself to "someone like you"... I'm just trying to get rid of the pretentious, higher-than-thou people like yourself. I guess it just bothers me that some people consider themselves above others when we all really have the same amount of worth.

[anonymous0s0egion]

@dav1disradical

Relax dude, I'm just trolling. Listen I was just pissed off when I wrote that comment that you first responded to. I mean you have to admit a fair amount of people in this country are fucking stupid. And let's be honest man, people who are able to accomplish a lot and do so, are worth people who don't even try. We all deserve the same rights and fair treatment but not all of us are truly equal. Why did you feel the need to jump down my throat in the first place? [5]

[maagonzalez888]

white men through the eyes of a mexican... :^{D

[sugarsean1]

let the darkness eat you up

[Yuck46]

I see problems down the line.

[Capaloso18]

Did you guys have trouble finding the latest Justin Bieber video? Stop watching pigs and listen to the real content of Youtube.

[xkickit17]

@Capaloso18 why do you exist?

[Capaloso18]

@xkickit17 because my parents chose to have unprotected intercourse. You see, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much..

[hayleyfoxi]

What did he write on the window?

[godsliar]

Forget the fuckin pig n listen to the song!

[evamonica1970]

@godsliar chill out 

[SlayerofEmokids]

@godsliar I agree to what you say, but I would tell the idiots out there to not forget the pig man. they probably will never understand loneliness / die alone. but for those of you who feel loneliness: "Don't let the darkness eat you up"!

[JabAjap]

@godsliar forget about the pig? why should you, the song fits this clip perfectly.

[redlizzardpoker]

bbq pork

[lionheart10100]

i wouldn't want to see those pig things in my window. i would freak the FUCK out.

[redlizzardpoker]

@lionheart10100 bbq pork



[TheRetroZombie]

@xa25 Your the loser who has no good taste of music.

[whoareyou342]

I don't quite understand how a pig symbolizes loneliness. Would someone care to explain?

[DavidEscalante21]

@whoareyou342 He's selfish, like a pig, and has alienated all of his friends, and now he's alone and lonely.

[blueyegrl80]

OMG.....I LOVE Jose for his intelligent mind and his voice just AMAZING!!! I am intrigued by everything i hear from him!!

[Madinzi52]

I love this song <3

[94559lolo]

jOkerr1, listen to the lyrics, don't judge something you don't understand.

[ambernich]

the pig-people are borderline horrifying

[j0kerr1]

Retarded.

[estheramie09]

It says in Wikipedia Jose Gonzalez was born in Argentina in 1976,his parents moved to Sweden.He grew up listening to Latin folk.This is for the person who made the comment on him being full Swedish with an Iberian surname...:D He is neither Swedish nor Spaniard.

[KevinAlvarado]

@estheramie09

If you know how to speak spanish, you can watch this video and find out that what I said before was correct. He is first generation Swedish, his parents ARE Argentinian.

watch?v=Rih2GPmBHcE

[hwesta123]

@estheramie09 gonzalez is a spanish name.

[mx6lover]

@cdcook1212

Oh those are fightin' words in my town. YES!, Gonzalez is nice, but Meric Long, can come close.

& JJ Cale blows away Gonzales with 40+ year career, international fame, and down key character.

You've been put in your place. Now go explore!

[lizikat]

OOOHHH! man i thought all you people who were talking bout swine flu were bein racist!

...oops

oh. haha. i get it now. swine flu. lol. okay. hehe :)

itsall good

[bk2erthkids]

No! no one can't! I stand still! We have to stop! Brilliant!

[kittygobark1]

fav acoustic artist = jose gonzalez

[thebestevernikeman]

loaded summer and orangatang adventures goes perfectly with this song

[PIMPOLICOUSSKIER]

i really ike this song, but i don't know why, i don't think any of his other songs are that good

[pkarp92]

yeah this is the only song by him I love I think its cause you can make connections to it but it's amazing none the less

[swedespeed4eva]

EUA = Estados Unidos da América

[spreitzrunner1]

@swedespeed4eva

i thought it said ella

[lizikat]

luv this song

jose gonzlez has amazing lyrics, voice and magical acoustics

[FoomerFilms]

one of the coolest songs

this and mgmt are some of my songs

[MultiNikyy]

this is too good

[shredheadbob]

Aww! this song is great. =)

[thebestevernikeman]

anyone know of more amazing songs like this

[suyrakant]

two- by ryan adams

[Kinghammeron420]

you should pick up his first cd, Veener and this song is of his last album In our nature. He also has tracks with zero7 a down tempo electronica group!

[l33tpwnzord]

What is this song about?

[br0wnb3rry]

problems down the line? ;D

[lboygrace]

Just saw a story on him on AOL news and I remembered I had heard this song used in a youtube video before. He's good!

[Tmonie1986]

one of the best songs ever. helps you through a lot of tough times

[arni0202]

An amazing voice amazing amazing amazing... brings tears to my eyes this song does

[ryanmillerrox]

DEAL

Drop

Everything

And

Listen

[jesusfreakavery]

i adore this song, as well as the rest of Jose Gonzalez's songs.

and this is a result of the swine flu (;

[lizikat]

? hispanic joke much!

not cool

[spreitzrunner1]

Is that what you were thinking about when you listened to this song? that is sad. listen to it again without the clutter

[Bearhawke42]

Jose is NOT a Hispanic; he is a Swede.

Just like Gardar Thor Cortes; the Icelandic opera singer is not Latino despite having an Iberian surname (probable paternal Spanish ancestor).

Anyway; I like Jose's music, it is definitely ethereal. :).

[lizikat]

@Bearhawke42

Ughhhh! are you serious? Thats disappointinggg! no offense...?

[KevinAlvarado]

Jose Gonzalez's parents are Hispanic born, and he is born in Sweden. Which makes him a first generation Swede. So HE is hispanic.

[jazivi86]

i love this video i feel that sadness sometimes and the pigman is great example of a human alone in the world of tv

[cabinneighbors]

and the world of ATVs :)

[danielgenalo]

that's my favorite comment on this page.

[nuhtoh]

i absolutly love this song, i remember when i first heard, i stopped what i was doing,, and just listened.

[nimrodmiller]

Such a great songwriter and musician.

[irishsue922]

Heard the cover of this by Gutter Twins... that made me quiver.... had to hear the original, and wow... I can now see why Greg chose to do so... awesome.... mindblowing... I love the undertones of infidelity in a relationship expressed so eloquently.... it's about forgiveness....

[xmedical420Marijuana]

Go2 my space and ask him yourself he will talk 2 you... This guy is a underrated genius end of story, GENIUS ....it never getz old.

[xgwongx]

can someone explain the lyrics...

first NOT compromising...and then compromising?

[xmedical420Marijuana]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[djdeloris]

this is what happens when you get swine flu.

[salandtia]

lol :]

[xmedical420Marijuana]

Wow...... GOOSEBUMPS.......scary good.

[vb18panda]

I don't know why, but I LOVE this video.

[person123456789a]

THIS IS AWESOME!

[lukestotler]

animal farm status.

[dylancatalano]

this is deep. jose is the man.

[musiccclcoverrrr]

im seeing condoms down the line(:

[jwf1393]

its about how if we keep living like pigs and turning a blind eye to all the damage we do in the end we'll all be alone

[TheoIsMyName]

@jwf1393 Pigs are a very social species and intelligent. Seems that if we humans were to live more like pigs we would be better off :)

[GoatsandDietCokes]

Its the Pigman from Seinfeld

[tribes85]

the pig represents that he's an outsider...a loner...like what ImissSavo says, he's obviously been through a struggle. this ties in with the lyrics of the song

if it was a theme about animals or the environment you would see more pigs, he wouldn't be the only one you can see.

[vb18panda]

well said.

[ronniemas1]

What does EUA stand for in the car window? I'm speculating European Union-America, but this is only speculation.

[thasilverman]

it says "ella" meaning "her" in Spanish

[frownytown]

Now I can't claim to know what the director's vision was, but it seems like an obvious theme. The "PIGMAN" represents the gluttenous, greedy, overindulgent,false sense of entitlement having, blind eye turning son of a bitch in all of us.

[blazenbig]

He also ran away from what bad he had done (burning the car) like most of us do when we figure out "Oh shit, what was i thinking"

[joshsanchez21]

I agree 100% with bronk17.

[Chrisfromlehigh]

It's obvious what this video is about. Pig Face (aka Ganondorf) is bored to death because he can't get his hands on a Wii. They're all sold out at the "local" Wal-Mart, which is over 60 miles away. He's tired of internet porn and they've long stopped providing software support for his antiquated Playstation 2.

[bbycakesz]

thank you for making me day.

[bboynton86]

yes, thank you.

[MirrorStewedios]

Is that a new feature on youtube, the wide screen letter box format??

[marionburp]

this song has been on every mixed taped I've made since it came out, I love it. Come back to DC!!

[samdizzle123]

the pig to me honestly means a misunderstood person with so much charisma, but he is judged

[jellisonl]

the pig stands for idiots like you!

[adamcrigler]

its problems..  You need to open your ears this song rocks

[absurdnerd454]

it sounds the "i see condoms down the line" and its talking about mistakes and

"cum on over"

[jurkfilms]

fuck you.

[lxlsharplxl]

OK whats the pig dude susposed to mean or susposed to represent D;

[bronk17]

For me, the pig dude represents us. We are turning this beautiful planet into a pigsty, and for what? The human race is a major disappointment. We are capable of so much more! That's what it means to me anyway.

Peace

[mathewheldman]

it is people like you who create a sense of worthlessness of the human race. people like you always have something to complain about. u have water, food, and shelter, yet you will always find something inadequate in the world.

[bronk17]

It is called being aware. Keep your head in the sand and let me know how that works out for you. The truth is we are destroying this planet by placing economics above all else. Economics relies on the environment, not the other way around. Millions of people on this planet DO NOT have water, food and shelter, and those numbers will only increase with time. Wake up.

[strive2destroy]

the song is amazing but what is going on in the video ??

[spaceorgysyndicate]

dang thats verry sad, and metaphoric

[cfalberg]

....what did i just watch....i feel weird....

[AndrewandOnurfilms]

its in a loaded longboard video... wonderful together

[fulltruth]

this is the ultimate wtf

[chopstix720]

haha agreed

[rickmanary]

whoa...

[ContrabandMosquito]

EUA?

[genananasis]

Ella

[thasilverman]

"ella" it means "her" in spanish

[Orphea78]

awesome

[neonfear]

this is so beautiful!

[bronk17]

BIG problems down the line--no doubt. Good luck everybody.

Excellent song--thx for posting.

[nmack75]

oh no. I let the darkness eat me up...... and I also crossed the streams....

[Zeplygimus]

it's manbearpig! i told you he was real!
