Everybody Here is a Cloud

[PATAGONIALOOP]

I think this is a misunderstanding minimalism, an attempt to make a genius but just sounds like an advertising jingle.

I think this is the decline of pop music.

Who can think that this song will transcend time and history of music as a good artistic work?

[EGrinde05]

@PATAGONIALOOP I think you are misunderstanding this song, and this band. Cloud Cult is not pop music; Pop music is for Jr.High dances. Cloud Cult is in a genre all of its own. Furthermore, they don't have to try and be genius - they are. Have you listened to their songs, their original lyrics? Are you deaf? Do you even have a heart and soul at all? The only people who think that this music will not transcend time and history are those who don't understand.

[EGrinde05]

@PATAGONIALOOP But now that I think about it, you probably think Justin Beiber is a good artist, so how could you understand?

[PATAGONIALOOP]

@EGrinde05 I sincerely believe that Cloud Cult's is pure decadence.Justin Beiber, and many others, okay, for the uncritical and unthinking mass. Cloud Cult's, is good for Americans, people lazy, superficial, arrogant, ignorant and with a much misunderstood humanity, humanity,artistic activity, intellectual development, the progress of man, are only considered in the way that only you want to live, the rest is garbage.

[Jaguira1990]

@PATAGONIALOOP I totally agree, but "decadence" means "decay" or "excessive indulgence"... You might want to reword that ;)

[PATAGONIALOOP]

@Jaguira1990 the literal sense is declining, exhaustion, fall, fall culturally ... end of an era ... I guess means ... at least I make the effort to write in English, the Yankees speak two languages, one: English, two: stupid ... say no more!

[PATAGONIALOOP]

@EGrinde05 The decline is good for USA. You need not be arrogant and insulting me, just shows your intolerance.

[Shaereub]

@hereticmax1 They're amazing when hearing the songs. They're UNBLEIVEABLE when watching and listening to them Live!

[Shaereub]

We should like These Youtube Cloud Cult videos. Let's face it everybody, Cloud Cult is just too good for the LIKE button. Youtube should make a Love button just for Cloud Cult videos. Thumbs up if you agree.

[MonicaReally]

Steps to win my heart: 1) Cloud cult.

thats about it.

[thegeneratir]

There are few songs that encapsulate happiness in musical notes. Most of them are by Cloud Cult.



[RiahRahRah23]

I just saw them for the second time yesterday. I got to talk to Craig. I pretty much died. I'm seeing them again in July <3

[Shaereub]

@RiahRahRah23 You got to talk to Craig (the lead singer)? Lucky!

[zwink37]

how could you dislike this?

[hereticmax1]

These guys live are amazing. I can't beleive how many good songs they have.

[Yahonathan]

I can completely feel the joy these people are feeling XD

[zwink37]

the five people who disliked weren't a cloud

[TheGwarsloth]

@zwink37 acid rain clouds?

[TheGreatYmir]

like it if u saw the guy holding the puppy at 0:44

[Shaereub]

@TheGreatYmir So when they say everybody, they mean puppies too?

[silverstatic]

I feel good now for here I am ghost!

[owlertheprowler]

song rules. video bugs me kind of haha

[SkySky1717]

scary awesome!!!

[triphendrix]

No matter your outlook on religion, you are on Earth with the rest of us, we really should take care of the Earth before all else, no?

[seanoc123]

More like everybody here is a hipster.

[ShovelDuct]

@seanoc123 You obviously don't know anything about their music.

[samsbro1952]

beautiful and heartbreaking so good

[olheiser01]

my biology teacher and best friend are in this video. Hahaha so great

[frajeris987]

beautiful...

[pmcdonaldoperator]

Wow, what a beautiful clip! That first image is just so arresting. Its a pretty rare thing to find a clip that does justice to the song - this really nails the exuberance, scope and message of commonality of the song. Nice work indeed!

[thetupacmakavelifan]

This song is so powerful and moving, it speaks to you on a number of levels. We're all one in the same, yet very different. We are all united as one through various things such as Cloud Cult itself. Yet each of us as similar as we are, hold many differences and unique qualities. Not only is this song deep, but also catchy. A beautiful musical picture.

[sickpoppy02]

Everybody here is a cloud, we all walk around with million faces.

[Muzikhead993]

Minnesota pride :)

[Notheretostay]

I'm fairly convinced this is a cult of people who like clouds. Awesome ( :

Who's got the grape kool-aidddddd?

[AllieTheBalatron]

Cloud Cult's music may not have any "religious meaning", but that doesn't mean they have "atheist songs" or that they themselves are atheist. I've met these guys and personally know Arlen Peiffer (the drummer) and they are a mixture of atheist and religious.

[Shaereub]

This video is so good

[Shaereub]

This video is pretty good. If you're a Cloud Cult fan then go to You - tube and check out the music video for Journey of the fearless. search for Cloud Cult music videos.

[thefourlex]

Thanks for making this video. It plays in my mind each time I listen to this cd (which is song by song full of keepers)

[bl1nkone3ighty2]

At 1:08 do they say everyone's a cloud or every one's a a crowd?

[PrinceAeolus]

It's crowd the second time around.

[NoC41]

@bl1nkone3ighty2 "everyone here is a cloud"

[BuckNekkid3000]

I find this song clearly to be a call to arms to the people of the world, Time is rapidly running out. Who are you and what's your place in the big scheme of things?..

[Msskywatcher8]

how serious and lovely

[Destrox5]

I wish I was there:D it should have been fun

[ScarletSimplicityTV]

agh! i looove them.

And this music video is fantstic. :D

[KittaniNara]

this has to do with god, and religion dosnt it?

[dragonmaster678]

nope not at all

[parsonbeast]

Lol, you wish.

[mgproductions2007]

im an athiest.. a massive one.. i hate religious bullshit.. but this band is fucking fantastic and i love them.. they are not trying to jam god down your throat.. its a sweet song..

[inasafeplace]

@mgproductions2007 actually most people I know who listen to Cloud Cult are atheists... and Cloud Cult are probably atheist as well. I don't see any religious meaning to any of their songs.

[OrganizedChaos88]

@inasafeplace everyone is entitled to their own interpretations, but I'm a huge Cloud Cult fan and am certainly not atheist. (Nor am I Christian for the record). I find it hard to believe Cloud Cult can be called atheist. Many of their songs relate to the tragic death of their son. I will agree, their meanings aren't religious, but instead rather spiritual.

[xpkkingx]

@OrganizedChaos88 I think that the denomination of the spirituality in the song isn't what's important. There is more in these songs than words and notes, but it's for each of us to find and interpret.

[aowrya]

@inasafeplace I am a Christian and I love Cloud Cult! I don't have to have their same world-view to appreciate the incredible talent and creativity. :)

[Dredawg42]

@inasafeplace "There must be afterlife here cause we all pray for resurrection" from their song 'purpose'. nice one.

[BlacksuitJack]

@KittaniNara In a way, yeah, but not really directly I think.

[nwblofimh]

I could care less if the video isn't "perfect".. The words are just great..

[marleysalemmango88]

@nwblofimh I am pretty sure you mean COULDN'T care less, right?

[simonk512]

@nwblofimh but... the video is perfect...

[Flam3o]

@nwblofimh - I agr-- wait a second... "could care less"

FFFUUUPWE*RT""V)$%^wbq")£ y%$(

[three25eleven]

trust me if they wanted their lips to match up perfectly they could have and would have done so..

[samgy28]

dude they do pretty good and of course they are lip syncing idiots it's

1 a music video you don't actually play music in a music video that so you can act and dance and stuff.

2 not that many people are in that band duh so it would have to be a lip sync.

3 you are all stupid people.

[TheRevK]

This video was shot with a steady cam at like 1/3 speed. Every line had to be said at a really rapid rate. This must have made it hard to sync up later.

[hedeen]

is it just me or is their lip syncing way off??

[tanijadejoy]

its not just you i see it too

[hollyhock201]

i dont get it. how can they be lip syncing?

[tanijadejoy]

trust me holly...they are. everybody does that in music vids. and you can tell cuz their words don't match their lips.

[quizzicalsphinx]

Usually in music video the artist is really singing along with a pre-recorded track, so that their lips match up as closely as possible. Then in production, they overlay the audio from the album track over the live singing for clarity.

[MrAltruistic84]

Wow really?

[mgproductions2007]

they originally have to record there voice up to a really good mic to get clear audio

[galaxyhorsevideofilm]

This is a fantastic song.

But a very, very boring and obvious video.

[oneirogmophobia82]

dduh deee duuh dee ah cloud wa wa wah la la hmm he haa,

[Kendizzl0]

It's Everybody here is a Cloud.

And everybody better chill out. :]

ktx

[sexonthebeach003]

"Everybody here is a crowd, we all walk around with a million faces"

Scary how true that is

[cjknight1979]

"Everybody here is a cloud" not a crowd

[Brennan3775]

No, on that verse it is "Everybody here is a crowd"

[Snoogybutz]

Yes. . . . we are in the land of broken dreams and shattered hopes!!

Save our souls!!!! Before IT gets to the children

[BojanglesTehGreat]

Love this song!

[MrChampionWSU]

I like this song, the whole album even but this video is garbage. Is it just me or is nothing really synced either?

[Zasp3]

I really hate this song. I would slay everyone in this video and turn the snow into a pool of blood...

[spypotato]

sereosly, if you don't like the song, or even the band then please don't comment! people have feelings and you don't have to go and make bad comments about things.

[Snoogybutz]

uh -oh - - - Looks like spypotato has appointed herself as the hallmonitor of this thread . . . everyone watch out.

[spypotato]

fuck you

[rusboarder]

I think your English sucks. Maybe it's because you can't understand our language.

[hellonyou]

wow burned

[GearThePat]

Second that burned.

[Kendizzl0]

Could you ost the Tornado Lesson?

[Nathn65]

I love the melody of "everybody here is waiting for the next creation"

[EugeniaLoli]

Amazing band! Amazing song!

[GRstudios9153]

i love this band this song and this vid

[FunkySexyBass]

great great song

wonderful

[theeggman1217]

Cloud Cult is AWESOME! can't wait for Coachella April 18!!!!!!!!

[mallconvictXDD]

THIS BAND IS DA SHIZ!!! all you haters can DEAL and comment those miley cirus videos you watch obsessivly. just as long as you leave me and MY fav band alone... CHIEF!

[OrganizedChaos88]

This was shot in northern Minnesota. So yes, it's real snow. And the temperature was roughly 15-20 degrees.

See you coordinate 100+ people in that kind of weather...

[SeAzOn795]

@OrganizedChaos88 Do you know where in northern Minnesota it was filmed?

[OrganizedChaos88]

@SeAzOn795 Duluth if I'm not mistaken.

[colorguardcupcake]

well actually. theres some really interesting camera angles and shit so it mustve taken more than an hour.

most music videos take like a day.

and how many people are in this video? probably between 50-100.

thats a lot of people to direct, especially when synchronization is so important.

and if that was really snow that must've been freezing to be in all day.

anyway, next snowday, come meet me, bring your first grader and your parents video camera.

we'll make a better one.

[andaloo]

why the hell would i come meet some weird peadophile of the internet..... i could report you for that! stay away from primary schools. i blame this shitty internet band or 'cult' for breeding these sick individuals

[Pet3rGr1ff1n]

I LOVE THIS BAND!

theyre coming to my city and im sooooo gonna see them :)

[MonickerL]

Say what you will, this song (and this band) changed my life.

[SlightlyInsane4u]

there are no words to describe the sheer brilliance of this video/song/band.

[AtheistLoveChristmas]

Yeah, my names breakneck and I just go around saying negative shit on the internet because it makes me feel better about myself because I have a low self-esteem and I stay up late nights knowing I'll grow old and die a bitter, wrinkly, viagra takin' loner with no friends. You are most certainly not a cloud.

PS: Do you know where I can score some coffee?

[aznkidd26]

my friends cousin was in this video, hes the one in the red and black sweeter behind the lead singer at 0:40

[dangerbird22]

great song, great album

[ondaparanoia]

and great band ! :D

[melyet2888]

People like you only post things because they want to cause a ruckus. Fortunately, Cloud Cult is one of the few bands that doesn't need defending.

[andaloo]

because without people like me the truth will never be heard... and your mum would need someone else to try anal with. thanks x

[AudioShowcase]

You are today's featured musician on Audio Showcase (audshowDOTCOM)!

[ThinkingTreePro]

i love this band

[eyeluvrainbows]

:3 PEOPLES!!!!! xD Hi lil cold people in the snow :333

[Saphira9878]

all i can say is wow and apparently what i just said

[randomrox22]

My friend from MN was in this music vid

[ravenofroses]

*sigh* so pretty. and an odd video, but lovely nonetheless. ^__^

[flowerchild002]

cloud cult its amazing!

i saw them live a few months ago, it was great. craig has written some of the best stuff i've ever heard

[Lilkooldude123]

look at the tree in the back its an alabama christmas decoration at the end

[VamastaMoren]

That was a pretty amazing video

[anubisisbored]

i LOVE THIS SONG!

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

five stars, i did not see a single black person in this whole video

[MilkCheeseSnowcrab]

It was a volounteer cast, no black people showed up.

[wolfgar45]

yeah!

[finalcontrol]

I can't be sure, but I believe the guy at 1:58 is black.

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

ahh, now i see. He is either middle eastern or black. im not too sure.

[VamastaMoren]

He has an afro looking hair due so he's black? Nah... he was white.

[finalcontrol]

Afro-looking hair and darker skin, yeah.

[tragictravisty]

balck guy at :54

[xXGarretWCostaXx]

dammit, lol. the mist makes it even harder cuz it makes everything white

[kollol]

my place is with my friends in school and in art :D

[wolfgar45]

my place is with the....

i still don't know.

[wolfgar45]

damn hippies.

kidding.

[vernonvanderbilt]

I just discovered this band tonight, and quite by accident at that. I am almost ashamed that I did now know them already. They blend the best elements of MGMT, The Arcade Fire, maybe a touch of latter day Flaming Lips.  This music...my soul cannot help but sing along.

[kneelio321]

definately agree with every comparison. i would add a bit of devotchka with the way they have a sort of folk/classical feel.

[aerosmithx]

3 of my friends are in this video

[Spazlararoo]

same here...well not three but one of them...her Uncle is the painter...she's at 1:29!

[ExitMuSlC]

Hey, great music guys! Sound a lot like MGMT, and The Killers (Better than the killers)

[c0al]

.. what?

[trenchy3]

I said that they sound a lot like the band MGMT and the Killers except better than the killers.

[kneelio321]

you need to listen to them more. not a jab, just that they are so much more.

[pickles01]

We can read what you said ... But to compare Cloudcult to MGMT or the killers is silly ... the killers and MGMT don't really mean anything ... they're fun, but they are missing the heart that Cloudcult has mastered, or at least, has revealed.

[TheBSG]

Despite Cloud Cult being my absolutely favorite band, for some reason I hate this video. It just disagrees with my film sensibilities. Nothing's happening.

[MNEP88]

I love this song.. It's so inspiring!

And, by the way, the video clip is very good. Simple but brilliant.

[glenntadams]

Oh my god. The girl with the brown stripes on her sleeves at 0:29 is BEAUTIFUL.

[Rajaka]

How you noticed that? It is moving so fast. I consider you use secret ninja techniques!

[coodoo17]

I know the girl at :42. Yeah, she's just as mean as she looks XD

Well to me atleast.

[dbetlock]

Haha, I think I smiled at her for being cute and just got this same look. But we were all told to be somber looking, so I blame the director.

[kindofmagicmike]

i really wanna know who the lady with the mistletoe in her hair is, she seems like an interesting person to meet

[Eyarisu]

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. The video is FANTASTIC; thank you for posting it.

[bville51555]

never mind

[abbymyheartflysout]

Love Cloud Cult!!!!

[CharlieBrown623]

you could say that again

[wildlandfirewolf]

im going to their consert tonight!

[fncygtrjammer]

My new favorite band ... sweet video, sweet song, like everyone else wish i was there ...

[jtmnt]

I have found where my place is... too bad I wasn't there... Great video for a great song!

[GalipokaV2]

guy at 1:40 looks like my friend

[ArrowBrave]

Cool Vid. Awesome tune

[CornFlakeSoup]

man i wish i coulda been in this D: so closeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[wintermintfresh]

Me 2 it looks like everyone had so much fun making it. plus i love the song.

[bville51555]

what the f**k? the girl at 28 seconds?

[wintermintfresh]

What about her?

[glenntadams]

That girl at 28 seconds with the striped sleeves is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I freakin' love her. Five stars. Great video.

[d3t0xxxx]

in other words the hot guy..

[TheRevK]

That fat guy with the beard and hat is me. Blessings.

[roblinux2]

absolutely love this band, amazing video,

You guys have no idea how awesome you are, cloud cult

my god
