  • what version of the song is this, because i can't find it?

  • Great video...watched it a million times.

  • thumbs up

  • Wow, I hope you won =)

  • @UncommonTruths I did!! i got to meet Jon, he invited me on the VIP list and he gave me his bang band sixxx book singed and a poster and he shook my hand thanked me for the video and we spoke for a bit. Thanks !!

  • @D00R Freakin awesome! Congrats, totaly deserved it. Have u made any more vids?

  • Nice job, man. Smooth editing, great companion to one of my favorite songs off of April. Thumbs up!

  • Unbelievable. 100% pure truth. The ones, who understands love, understands arts.

  • Loved it! Good job, dude.

  • well done dude !!

    is cool.

  • Where can you get the version of this song? Much more alive and passionate than the version I have.

  • Great!!!

  • hey, D00R, can you tell me where to get this version of the sung? I have just the album version which isnt that cool.. Is this VAST playing, actually?

  • Perfection,  I have been enjoying this video a good while, VERY GOOD JOB !!!

    Vast has become an instant favorite.

  • I love music videos. Just beautiful. Very nice.

  • I don't think Jon Crosby himself could have made such a perfect video for this song.. So similar to what I saw in my head when I heard this song. Great job! Saw your other videos as well, and your a true artist. Keep writing music- it'll get you somewhere. =)

    ~Love

  • VAST=Art.

  • Wow this is great! You've done an amazing job! I was wondering though, this version is different to the one on the April version. What one is this?

  • like all vast songs, snorting a dose of reality and being honest with every fiber that makes you the flawed human that you are brings you closer to being in a true state of awakiness.

  • Nice!

  • I love your video. VAST is such an amazing and underappreciated band.

  • What exactly is the meaning of this song.. I have some ideas, but I am just not completely 100 percent sure. :/ Other wise wonderful song :)

  • I just got Vast's APRIL album and the version in the album Crosby is singing like a freaking bum where can I get this rock-out version wth.

  • Gave me Chills when her eyes lit up. Perfect interpretation... Especially with that hat!

    I want the hat!!

  • @Biggestmutemathfan

    haha i'm gonna sell that hat too

  • i met Jon. he is what he sings... A great person.

  • I've been following VAST for a while now, and Jon Crosby knows melodies. He knows how to capture a moment, and emotion, something that we all know but sometimes forget...What that is, I don't know. I think it's for each of us to decide. :)

  • this is like the oficial video but D00R is singing rite?

  • @HostOfTheSeraphim

    Jon Crosby is singing i just made the video and acted in it, thats why i hid myself in shadow through out it.

  • Does love ever prevail? It keeps leaving. This song is so special to me, but its tainted with cold blood and PAINFUL memories.

  • @stephanieaslee123 No, it doesn't.

  • If someone knows the chords/guitar tabs to this song send them to me. I would really appreciate it. I looked everywhere online, I could not find it for this song. Also, for Dead Angels if someone has it. Thank you.

  • Interesting video. I was surpised to see the same angel I put on my grandfather's grave in this video.

  • the baddest bestest band ive ever known!

  • I even thought that this video is official.

  • almost makes me cry... so beautiful

  • The vid or the track? Because, while combined here, otherwise they have little to do with one another.

  • very good!

  • amazing job!

  • fantastic song

  • This cover is just great! Powerful and wonderful music video :)

  • Great job, you have a bright future sir.

    My favourite band & it's great to see people creating accompanying video. Favourited & subbed.

    Bravo

    amadeo

  • oh, this band is incredible...

  • Oh, excellent. Very "Vast," which is not easy to grasp. Bravo.

  • Nice advice 'Mysweeteventhorizon' cool to see somoene that can see both good/bad in a positive way (:

  • I really like how you used the shadows. I really enjoyed watching this.

  • Brilliant! i have no more words...

    Thumbs way up.

  • Really cool. :D

  • As for your fear of failure as an artist listen to the words of JFK:

    "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, if he wins, knows the thrills of high achievement, and, if he fails, at least fails daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

  • Have you ever failed on an important fight? You lose the will to win ;) Oh, but you get so much CREDIT

    cheers :D

  • You never lose the will to win.....you only lose the will to win when you draw your last breath...

  • strong people probably work like you say

    but not everyone is strong

    many people lose will to win, especially when they lose faith or meaning for life

  • For continuity check these videos out:

    Early Winter by Gwen Stefani, Stand Up Kick Love Into Motion by Def Leppard, Boys of Summer by Don Henley, Mr Brightsides by The Killers, Tonight Tonight by The Smashing Pumpkins, Three Wises by Roger Waters..etc...etc

  • Try to avoid distractions like the bouncing bed @ 00: 44 the clutter on the walls @ 00: 48 the striped dress @ 00:49 ( I know it matched the railings but too busy and distracting) the laughter @ 02: 29 the busy multi coloured playground @ 02:49

    In other words the dark contrasts were brilliant and really pinned me to my chair Bravo!! You may want to look at the photography of Christian Coigny, Helmut Newton and David Duncan Douglas for images in B&W that are stunning in "contrast" Good Work

  • If this was truly a "first attempt", it was brilliant. I truly enjoyed it. Now for the bad news.

    The shadow work of stark contast is stunning @ 00:18 @ 00:30 @ 00:50 @ 02:36 @ 02:44

    This stark contast really works..it brilliant but it gets confused with the very "busy" outdoor set with all its "busy" railings, try something a little more iconic with stark and sharp contrasting angles like the large building with tall broad square pillars of one colour.

  • wow, you did a very good job with this vid, i am impressed, good job

  • Amazing. Simply Amazing. I'll have this in my head for weeks

  • Touched und Thrown away ♥

  • Das beste lied von VAST ist immer noch touched

  • Very good job my friend :)

  • thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • thank you

  • Hermosa canción gracias

  • check out more VAST :)

  • Very beautiful, put together very nicely.

  • Dude i love this video, it should be the real video, the song already hits home with me and mother fucker did you invision as the best possible version ever yo! map props!

  • Wow! That almost rendered me speechless! The shadowed guitar player, the way her parents were represented, even the camera work was just fantastic! The girl was brilliant in her role and played it with saying a word!! And even wit only catching a glimpse of the guitarist, you still feel like you know him. Amazing!!!

    I hope you won the contest, because honestly it puts all the other video contest submissions to shame.

  • You have talent, do something with it. ;)

  • thank you. i'm trying. i want to record my own music and i have videos i want to direct for them...iv just been to scared.

  • hey youve definately got talent, and you should never let fear hold you back from doing what you realy want. if it helps ive only seen this 1 vid of yours and i already have faith in u doing good stuff

  • It's Death, with a serenade...and a smirk..VAST rocks...new album..."Me and You" coming soon! :)

  • This is very good. Definitely the best version of the song as well. Thank you for uploading this.

  • whoooohooo! GREAT!

  • absolutely amazing... you go to film school?

  • no, i just tried my best with what i could to film what i saw in my head.

  • AWESOME!

  • thanks :)!

  • amazing song

  • You should re-up this if you have a higher quality version.

  • I also thought it was the official vid. the editing is great and the cinematogrophy camera angles were superb. I gotta ask, did you win the contest??

  • Jon Crosby invited me out to a show after he saw the video. He thanked me for making it and gave me a signed copy of his book and a VAST poster. it was really gratifying having someone i look up to musically shake my hand and thank me.

  • So did I, daddy o :D

  • I thought it was the actual video till I read the comments.

    Way to go.

  • thanks :)!

  • Jon Crosby is a genius...My favorite track off of APRIL.

  • well done! This is amazing!

  • This was a good video but needs some work.

  • jon crosby is a master of melodies

  • i absolutely love this song. best homemade video by far! by the way, your lady is a lovely lass.

  • The video came out quite well, I liked the usage of doors/shadow/lighting. the ambiguity the song lends to the mind. Well done. I enjoyed it.

  • This is such a beautiful song- you can always feel his strength in his voice. He is wonderful. No one else out there like him.

  • it's very good

  • Holy crap! That was amazing!

  • thanks :)

    I filmed it in Long Beach Ny.

  • whoa. this video is almost like me reliving 2004 all over again. spot on video. you really got the idea.

    -patrick

  • where was this video filmed?

  • This video is really good i like the idea, concept and lighting of this video. What equipment did you film with?

  • thanks :) i used a basic camcorder, and two  $7 lights i bought from a hardware store and a regular flashlight.

  • Nice. I really like the lighting. Keep up the good work.

  • What kind of camera and editing did you use? I have thought about doing something like this too, just not playing the music. I suck at music. but can edit videos. check out my barack obama video you will see what I mean.

  • I really really like it.

  • Jon Crosby liked the video he invited me to a show back in March to thank me for making it. I was so happy. I promised myself one day I would meet him not as just a fan but as a fellow artist he could appreciate..

  • I had an oppurtunity to meet Jon in april 07, he invited my girlfriend and I on the tour bus while we waited for our ride.He is a very nice guy, which was a good thing because it's hard to meet people you respect and the coolest people I have met that have any high level of fame were Jon, Chris(The Dreaming/Stabbing Westward) and surprisingly Corey Taylor of slipknot

  • really very good!! I love this song as well, and you did a great job portraying the emotion. :)I love VAST..ever see him??

  • This is a great song. You did a wonderful job with this video, very emotional and connected to the song. Very believable, I loved it

  • Yeah I made it, and thats me in the video. I filmed it, edited it, lit it, came up with the concept.

     Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    -Jonathan

  • You made this yourself? Were you filmer or are you that guy actually inside the video? Just wondering.

    Good job, either way. Awesome!

  • bravo

  • The middle part with the flashlight was awesome!

  • HEY WOW I REALLY LIKE THIS VIDEO !!!

  • Good work mate!

    Love this song, love the music of John Crosby

  • Simply Grand!

  • Great music, Great woman, great HAT.....

  • beautiful :)

  • thank you for posting this vid. you did a good work. like the music and the visual realization.:-)

  • Excellent work!

  • Great job! With no vested interest in the artists, I was very, very impressed with all facets of the music and the video. Nicely done and good luck with it. It's a good song.

  • "It's absolutely amazing! It's better than anything I've ever seen from any associate of mine. You know why? Yes, it's extremely low budget, but the camera work is great. Some of the image compositions mixed with the flawless edits make it truly poetic. The song is great and it absolutely goes with the video. You have good actors as well ; )

  • I love it. I was caught by it from the first frames, which is something that rarely happens anymore. I wanted to watch the whole thing and I did. I wanted more. You got some nice themes going on. It's certainly sexual and mysterious at the same time.

  • Great job John ! ! ! You know it's really not about the software what makes a good editor, it's really just knowing how to edit. Having great software just means that it will be easier and faster to do, but you did a fantastic job ! ! ! Congratulations . . ."

  • Nice job with this. Love it

  • WOW!! Great job! Great song!! Thanks for the post!!!

  • very well done. Enthralling

  • Awesome, man. Some very cool shots in this. Even a nice little plot running through it, great job! :)

    Was the shot of the girl on the bed using a crane? Sure fooled me if it wasn't. Looked fantastic.

  • Absolutely amazing video, I couldn't stop watching it! You truly are incredibly talented!

  • Great job, Jon. The video is awesome.

  • Awesome video, love it! You did a great job. thanks for sharing it with me! *XO,Judie*

  • You did such a great job! Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

  • Fantastic work

  • Shannon is awesome.

  • Cinematography...breathtaking!­ I'm so proud of you Jon! I always knew you were good with a camera...but you've certainly surpassed that opinion.

    Keep up the good work!

  • it's perfect. i really like it!

  • Excellent Job Jon....The camera work and editing is amazing...

  • Jon, Fantastic dude, absolutely marvelous. Excellently edited and put together. Well done.

  • right on!

    congrats on making a touching music video. : )

  • I *had* to watch this again. It's so gorgeous and touching.

  • Wow Jon, this is.... Simply beautiful.

    As Ashlee has already said, I was smiling while watching this because of being proud!

    You're so talented. Can't wait to watch this again, and to see more from you!

    -Julie :)

  • I thought the camera work was outstanding. The theme of the video worked well with the lyrics of the music. It was very moving and I found myself wanting to go back and watch it over and over.

  • well done my friend. Great story line. Cinematography and direction is great. Keep it up!

  • Extremely creative! I can see a lot of thought and orchestration went into this video. The music is beautiful. Bravo!

  • it came out wonderfully. so proud of you.

  • its all about people liking it. if they like it .

  • yeah I wore my VAST hoody for the fans to notice it in there :) Yeah I think For how many Ratings and Views I can get are votes for the contest.

  • You got a vote? By that, do you mean you got a favorite?

  • Nice work. I love how you're wearing your VAST hoodie. I'm wearing mine right now : )

  • I saw this over at the Tim Burton Collective and have to say I loved it =D

  • I could not stop smiling as I watched this, only cause I was proud of you!

    seriously, this was done really well. it looks great especially for someone's first video. I have to see what others have made for this song, because I can't imagine anything better. and this was very well thought, another thing I'd like to see someone else top off.

    great job Jonathan :)

  • Oops, I meant for this contest, not just the song! :D

    but seriously Jon, this really is great.

  • Hey Jon, it's Kira. Just wanted to say that your video is awesome! I love it!
