Just watched his video done in Berlin (Beautiful Girl) and it's amazing how his beard has progressively gotten bigger. I am totally stricken with beard-envy!
@knoxrox167 I could see that if I didn't know more about him, not weird and not a sellout. The two guys are completely different, just both have beards and play acoustic music. Listen more and you'll see!
and ps. sigmund? get your shit straight, its Philosophy (with Plato) hence Plato's allegory of the cave. check that out! you can relate the short video to the moive, The truman show.! its really neat!
@attractiveMINI me too, but i'm a girl haha. it's not exactly the most uplifting music, but it's definitely good for the soul :] i hope your pieces are mended soon.
nope themeaningvideos, both of his parents were blind and they used the red string as a means to get around the house. So he is just recreating his house when he was younger, nice try though ;)
This is the song that my at the time boyfriend gave to me when I had moved out of state from him and we were going through some problems. It broke my heart and a couple of months later I came back home, and we were happily married and have been ever since. <3
Amazing how you can just stumble upon really great music just clicking through videos. Really glad I discovered this song through Heartless - Kanye West cover videos. This song is so heartfelt, and helps me a lot through each day. Very calming, such a great voice. Words seriously cannot express how much I love this song.
i love william fitzsimmons with all my heart. his voice is one of the most admirable things in existence. his music, despite its incredible amount of sadness in the lyrics, has a tendency to pick me right up. simply flawless.
The Red String represents how his house was with his parents who were both blind and used the string to find their way around the house....the song is about his father who left when he was young....
The string could have something to do with this ideal in Japanese (I think..) that two people who love each other are tied together by this red "life" string. and it tangles around them and all the things they're involved in as their lives evolve together. (which the tangling sounds horrible.. its mean to represent how hard it is for them to leave each other, if they decide to.. because of their lives together)
And that beard, and those glasses are the things of dreams.
@FYIibite Please do everyone a favor and stfu. Everyone has a story to tell. And if you didn't like what he had to say, you had the choice not to read it, did you not? Now stop being a fire-starter and focus on this amazing artist's musical creation instead of looking for a fight on youtube. Thankyou.
@LoganWGum It was completely irrelevant and unnecessary and obviously, I am listening because if I weren't, I wouldn't be on the video in the first place. Also, I can see I am not the only person who scrolls through the comments while the song is playing, therefore, you're looking for trouble, too, by replying to my comment, which was not even directed towards you in the first place.
@theInvigorate Hurt is one of the hugest parts of love that mostly is never told before hand. All of the fairytale prepared us for bullshit. Vulnerability being to let someone in & trust that they won't destroy all that is innocent is hard. A broken heart last forever but the next time hurts a little less.Live life to the fullest & always give your all if you expect to ever receive someone else all back. Your ex wasn't worth it but the next person might be so don't close off a huge possibility.
Today would have been my ex and I's 3 and a half year anniversary. He moved his things out yesterday. He picked his job, friends and alcohol over me. Didn't know I could hurt this much.
My ex recently broke up with me one week before our sixth month, and would threaten me daily that she was going to kill herself. She would constantly lie to me about other guys and a few days later she had kissed someone else, and a few weeks later she had a new boyfriend. There's nothing to do except look up and you'll know your other half is out there, somewhere. You can just never give up. I'm still trying to find mine, and so are most other people.
heartache lasts forever. what changes is your ability to handle it. i know. i've been there. the hurt never really goes away, but it becomes part of you. makes you more human. at least it did for me. hang in there. you'll get through it.
To all the broken hearted~ Guys and Gals, One of the only true certainties in this life is that as sure as the sun rises, people will disagree. The most difficult thing to do is contain, or for that matter understand the human heart. Clarity may not bestow it’ self on you but know that the pain will and does pass. ~One Love
@theInvigorate You'll be okay soon enough. It happens to nearly all of us but, there's always someone better. There's six billion people on the planet; I'm certain you can do better. I'll give it until the end of the year; you'll find someone who deserves you.
@theInvigorate I broke up after 3 years and my girl had the same reason. Except that not few days later but it took her only few months to get another guy. Felt like shit, I'm still not over her and it's been almost 9 months since the break up D:
absolutly amazing all the way... artist, video n tune n fabolous beard (lil bit jealous about it hahahahaaa)... so beautiful.. call the surgeon.. mend the pieces.
