I Gave You

[astrimn]

Ooookay. Had to watch this one twice.

[MrMarmeladeSky]

@MiklePrickles: The masses are too ignorant for such beauty. It's always been that way. Keep digging, man.

[imaztsu]

.. precioso tema ... 20 Octubre en Bilbao... cita con Bonnie Prince Billy

[Mastosky]

I dont understood the video, is she(the girl about he speak) died in a car incident?

Wonderful song and lyrics however

[guitarequeen08]

And you, you have vanished into the air, the air in which I must live. That is so brilliant and sad and beautiful!

[renditionralfje]

this is spot on! or as we say echt mooi...

[karaloca]

Is this just a shit recording or do they all have that rumbling distortion.

Its ruining what would otherwise be a great track.

[nBobsYourUncle]

@karaloca What you call the rumbling distortion echoes the tormented lyrics, the trembling voice, dude. Haven't you ever heard of indie music?

[karaloca]

@nBobsYourUncle Now thats funny.

[nBobsYourUncle]

@karaloca Yeah I'm funny

[SFRsongs]

the song, not the singer. the singer not the coolness. the poem, not the lyric, the death's meaning to others, not the life

[TPKKPT]

I really love this guys music

and he was great in Cph !

i am greatfull for the music Regards from Scandinavia.

[dawndawn1440]

so lovely....

[61syrens]

very sad and even more beautiful at the same time

[andersoncouncilpf]

Superwolf. What a fantastic album!

[freedomfryguy]

im not sure which is better the song or his beard...

on second thought im pretty sure its the beard. i think his beard has a beard

[zarbar2]

He was in Jackass, and I almost had a heart attack. Not only was his appearance shocking, but it was hilarious.

I love Bonnie Prince Billy. Will Oldham is brilliant.

[AGluhic]

These lyrics are by far the best lyrics of a any song out there.

[youtopp74]

OMG this is beautiful!!!

[jkochai]

this is music

[Daxter500800300]

@jkochai yeah and Back from Kinderzimmerproductions is music too -.-

[KoyaanisqatsiJoeD]

This may be the most powerful and haunting song I'll ever get the chance to hear!

[SevenSevenSevenaka]

i gave you a dream and you only wake from it, now i never go 2 sleep again....

[SevenSevenSevenaka]

*sitting here, lost 4 words*

[DushiGG]

this is more than just a song. this is poetry.

[erocker2020]

so he killed the guy from the previous track, "Blood Embrace" I guess?

[duffelear]

hey does anybody know if i can find bonnie prince billy's cover of i've seen it all (bjork) on youtube becaus i can't find it :(

[touchnova]

@duffelear there's no 'official' vid that I can find, but here's the cover on YouTube: watch?v=VI2HvFWiVts

[mooseyhole]

he killed matt sweeney!!!!!!!

[zarbar2]

I gave you a house, and you didn't haunt it, now where am I supposed to live.

This guy is a lyrical genius!

[donnygong1]

oldham rules.

[12InRuin]

This song got me so excited I had to make a poopy. Best album ever!

[gatstring]

oh the sorrow, oh the pain, the reality, the love, the hate, the power to live. Will has what we all want but he cannot shake it, oh the pure joy.

[gemmamoose]

what a journey... love

[ngc185]

perfect.

[BonniePB]

It's ok - I can die now

[TheIkaraCult]

the Superwolf album, its a collaboration between BPB and Matt Sweeny

[KateMagix]

This is heartbreaking.. 'I gave you a dream and you'd only wake from it, now i'll never go to sleep again'.

[OsukarOU]

Perfect!

[MindThemNot]

I got a question: Who is the figure supposed to be lying dead on the ground at the end of the video?

[latenightcheeseraids]

@MindThemNot Matt Sweeney I believe.

[TheLSparrow]

maybe it is the subject of the song

[arcturiangirl]

omgawd...this one hits hard. Sorrow.

[lilithbernstein]

Perfect, just downright perfect!

[xGLAMOURR]

you have vanished into the air ,

the air in which i must live ..

[theoutsider1982]

who directed this?

[Thujon83]

mike piscitelli

[theoutsider1982]

thank you

[FiatLuXx3]

renversant...

[Ashokasection]

yes mikle, there is nothing more to add

[MiklePrickles]

very moving, very beautifully done. how come the most talented are not being played on music tv to the masses? perhaps soul touching moments do not happen in reality, unless its some buffoon on a soap shedding a false tear in a false world. simply amazing, an outstanding song. Well done Bonnie blue.

[Delathblue]

Soul touching moments do happen in reality. You just have to be able to see them

[Jumo9]

@MiklePrickles Oh the injustice! In my opinion it is better if he stays at the level of critical acclaim he has achieved. When confronted with fame and the famous lifestyle, most artists will be forced to change to better fit the views of pre-pubescent teenage girls. It will be a sad, sad day when his ballads are featured on MTV or the likes.

[MiklePrickles]

yeah, i didn't quite mean what you are pointing out. its a shame most teenage girls will probably not have the chance to be moved by beauty. stay free jumo9

[peacockpeople]

@MiklePrickles i'm a teenage girl that's been moved by beauty :)

[mooortje]

iagree.:)

[PatBoiiii]

a perfect piece of music

[sinstage]

Realy sad... but great!

[IanKnite]

Such sad and tragic words/lyrics ... and so deep in reaching and articulating the extent of the hurt and pain the person must have gone through. It's sort of surprising to see so many folks relate to (and identify with) its contents. Great song (lyrics and tune)!!

[boran123464]

its a best song i lising

[whitemonkey1977]

at once, beautiful and devastating. the two extremes of life where we learn the most.

[lamngocquynhthy]

amazing melody..great voice...good song..i love it

[ethantswanson]

oh my god...

[29Kubi29]

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

=)

[29Kubi29]

giiitschi guuu erwischt

=)

[insylum]

this is so amazing.. the first thing i thought when i heard it was Oh shit now i cant write this song.. im jealous because its the best combination of words possible for a song

[silly48]

"i gave you a dream, but you only awake from it"

the song is just, wow

[artophilia]

everything about this song makes it one of my all time favorites! "i gave you a housem but you did not haunt it. now where am i supposed to live" - beautiful.

[KostekButter]

!!! luv it

[idiealittlemore]

ive been thinking recent about whats the best lyric [like one or 2 lines] i ever heard in a song... and the last couple on this song just cant be beaten in my mind...

[zemechanism]

id agree

[Forbidia]

Shit i love this song

[tillerbear]

This is fucking excellent!

[googleplex]

Awesome!

[kc7fys]

Um. Wow. That's well done.

[lilithbernstein]

oh God...amazing!

[curlyfroggy]

and one of his best, which is not little. all in the details.

[idiealittlemore]

[Bigpineapple]

this gave me chills- brilliant song

[Deuskex]

[thefathead77]

haunting

[jizzy00jarsh]

my favorite part is

i gave you 10 lives and you wasted 20

god this guy can sing a song..

[zarbar2]

@jizzy00jarsh I LOVE that line! It's soooo deep!

[thepowercut]

Will's killed Matt! Best video of the past couple of years by far. Killer ending; if you pardon the pun.

[YelloweOrc]

one of the best songs I've ever heard.

one of the best videos I've ever seen.

[afmorais]

will is one special soul indeed

[niffler09]

awesome song and video!

[schaumstofff]

gutes lied

[shredbackthenight]

ha, post blues rock? golly day...

[curlyfroggy]

it's good to share a feeling this intimate!

;)

[curlyfroggy]

better than a happy life wasted.

who are you to judge?, you have time to waste to comment on that. morons suck and are everywhere.

[stevierparker]

Ok, thats good to hear. Im sure he would!

[OCLM40]

will is exellent

[stevierparker]

Hey I believe Bonnie is a wounderous muscian. He is not emo or a cutter kid. This song could be described as post-blues rock.

[curlyfroggy]

recEIved

[curlyfroggy]

es Tevi vienmêr mîlêshu,

te iubesc mai mult în fiecare zi,

forever,

but you're gone, K.

[curlyfroggy]

[klakkin]

[MissesJaneDoe]

Will ist der beste!

[bodoriemer]

I love billy!

[redandjonny]

"Bonnie prince Billie is DEAD" Friedrich nietzsche

[klakkin]

Gosh !

[Letargian]

superb

[WYSIWYGG]

fantastic song...it touches a raw nerve. keep them comin' BPB.

[steakstar]

thanks matt

[gabrielflorit]

I'm not the huggest fan of the Oldham & Sweeney collaboration.. but it's still pretty good. Matt's guitar work is not interesting enough.

[gcl452]

Ahh..ahhh yes, now i see. I really shouldn't have told about 50 million folk he had copped it i suppose.Ach well - look out for it in the news section of the NME and WIRE.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Matt Sweeney - RIP  ;)

[gcl452]

wot is matt sweeney dead?

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I guess you didn't watch this to the end... As far as I know, Matt's fine in real life, although I'm not his doctor or anything.

[gcl452]

Ahh..ahhh yes, now i see. I really shouldn't have told about 50 million folk he had copped it i suppose.Ach well - look out for it in the news section of the NME and WIRE.

[jpirizarry]

excelent

[Titafarts]
