Thornley - Beautiful

[KarmaKonfession]

Big Wreck was/is sumthing.... !! actually ..maybe better than all the grunge bands put together...and sumtimes...Thornley just edges out Cornell.......and its so bloody unfair to compare them, Ian is much more than him... its just pure coincidence ! Glad they are back. ..........Also if u listen closely..the opening guitar tones sound little bit like Coldplay's Yellow......and here's a fact....Ian actually likes Coldplay...hrd tht in his interviews !

[bluesr4me]

Awesome band. Ian Thornley is sooo adorable...

[invertecv350pro]

good job

[MeganMcT]

He sounds so much like Chris Cornell. Love this song!

[Whpisi]

@MeganMcT Cornell sounds like Thornley.

[TheTysonVideos]

Ladies and gentlemen, CANADIAN MUSIC!

[Radia75]

What a message! What a stab at society!

[VampiressVixen]

Never change your body or yourself for someone else's approval. Never look down on yourself. Keep your head up in this world and don't let anyone bring you down, because you are beautiful.

[CRBCadillacRockBox]

Big Wreck was YEARS ahead of the 90s and Ian is an amazing songwriter/musician. I haven't heard guitar tone like his ever. We love this cat's guitar tone. This guy and his band need to come on South and do an American tour. I don't know why Nickelback hasn't taken these guys back out on tour with them. Even they said that Big Wreck was influential in their music and I've seen them cover BW tunes in concert. COME ON IAN! WE NEED YOU LIVE DOWN HERE IN THE US MAN!!!!

[TatianaLexei]

I agree. Terrible video. Really the lyrics don't speak to me about loving yourself and staying true to who you are. They speak to me of forbidden fruit and convincing someone to share it with you when you know it will damn you both. Video producers are ridiculous nowadays, they used to make videos ABOUT the music, instead of using the music to make their videos. Absolutely terribad. But ultimately the single most awesome Thornley song ever, even if the video blows chunks.

[happylover389]

@TatianaLexei You're not going to believe this but videos don't HAVE to be about the song. In fact, making a video about the song would be the easiest thing in the world to do. But if you have two seperate pieces of art coming together, new meanings and new messages get made by using the two together.

The interplay of a song about drug use and falling from grace interplayed with a video about self image and respectability, think of what those mean to each other.

[RussMusiq1]

great song.....horrible video.

[JonRoy777]

BEAUTIFUL!

[cindersnashes]

Love you for loving me!

[CRBCadillacRockBox]

One of the greatest bands that should be bigger. Hell, when you have Nickelback saying you're an influence, and....covering your songs while they're on concert should tell you something! Ian is one of the best songwriters out there period.

And Big Wreck, hell man, that was a band so far ahead of it's time!

[GeppettoWitness]

I dont really get the video. I thought this song was speaking about drug use, not self image

[MrRobzilla420]

I used to listen to this album in my car every day on the way to work

[TheYandies]

all the things well never know so beautiful slipping away...

[TwistedDoll09]

Why are such amazing artists like Thornley so slept on?!?! Has the world lost the ability to know what good music sounds like?

[NameWasInvalid]

@TwistedDoll09 Seems like it. I for the life of me cannot figure out why Thornley never became huge. I met them when the toured with Breaking Benjamin, BS'd with Ian in t he crowd while watching BB.... these guys are just ridiculously good.

[TwistedDoll09]

@NameWasInvalid Oh wow! How lucky are you?! Thornley AND Breaking Benjamin? That sounds amazing to me! And I agree, it's mind-blowing that they have never made it big!

[MrMonkeyman63]

@TwistedDoll09 apparentlt but that has been going forever.Another is the lead singer for widemouth mason.

[B14Z1NGH4WK]

Nice upload date, lol.

[MrIndestructible43]

@B14Z1NGH4WK lol 9/9/9

[Evilstruck03]

Always played at the rippers. :D

[DarkestofTimes]

I heard this in a movie like 4 years ago (before I had heard of Thornley) can someone help me think of it?

[MRSAMBONE2332]

It's a Shame how underrated Ian is. Super talented.

[DoStarsTwinkle]

... this song is a masterpiece

[adrian719]

Him playing that guitar is killing me, no need for that while playing a song like this lol

[wantmoreofHIM]

@adrian719 I don't know... If I had a guitar like that, I'd whip it out for ANY reason to play it. Overkill, yes... But how many people can say/show they own one of those bad boys?

[adrian719]

@wantmoreofHIM

Lol i donno, i'd much rather play my Epiphone Les Paul. but thats me..

[turtle123000]

Inspirational

[meandthesupershiney]

this song is awesomazing :)

[BioPheonix]

my favorit song by them and its vary hard to find now but im lucky i found it :)

[GetEmToTheGooby]

I have fibromyalgia and this song "rings true" to me. Everyday the first thing I do is medicate just so I can move.

[fgovern]

great voice



[Cainnelolol]

Sadly they didnt play this in their set at Lotus Nightclub in Red Deer, which sucks because its one of their best songs.

[romanticXDeath]

@Cainnelolol they didnt play at lotus idiot. lol they played at wild bills

[Cainnelolol]

@romanticXDeath They played at lotus, go suck some dicks.

[JMAN19851]

this song remindes me of love & you carlin

[seanrules101]

LOVE THE SONG! but wow the video is kinda weird. i dont get it.. cannibalism? LOLOL

[LBNQIU]

@seanrules101 you should be shot.

[HeavyMetal666Man]

amazing song but the video makes me wanna punch shit, does anyone know the actual meaning of the video is it animal rights or is it self worth or both?

[jstewlove]

@HeavyMetal666Man we will go to any lengths to make ourselves beautiful...like butchering ourselves like cattel

[BulletsandBronze]

@HeavyMetal666Man wow. It's amazing dumb asses like you manage to survive in life.

[HeavyMetal666Man]

@BulletsandBronze last time I checked that was a legitimate question, and whats really amazing is that assholes like YOU manage to survive in live cause clearly you deserve to be stomped...

[ZedMisfit]

Overweight and Obese is no beautiful, its unhealthy.

[DazedSpy2]

what do the lyrics MEAN? anyone willing to offer up their interpretation?

[awsome1111]

@DazedSpy2 Your beautiful the way you are, dont butcher yourself with surgery to become what everyone else thinks is beautiful. hence the animals in the video.

[MrDdrick]

fucking awesome tune. great video.

[LoveBupp2008]

THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME :(

[DevonGal27]

Ian Thornley is sooooooooooooo yummy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Demarko89]

The video and song are both amazing. I found it sad near the end when they started showing the kids. The video was meaningful. Good Job!

[Crush777]

Amazing video. Such an underrated song by them. Such a strong message! I remember seeing this one night late on MuchMusic and just was floored by it. Really well done!

[EpicRantTime]

@Crush777 it is very adiment to owrk a great message into your song... however if i was to play hockey without hitting because i was sending a message that is was wrong, i might still do but it wouldn't compare to what i could acomplish if i was mroe physical... and i would be judged accordingly.... its a great song it j ust doesn't get let off easy

[Micteu]

Why aren't there more comments, ratings, and views of the Thornley music? These videos were uploaded almost three months ago and are easily in the top five percent.

[20housecharlie]
