  • I can't describe anything I feel but the chills running down my spine when I hear this song. Especially when the drums kick in.

  • I read one interpretation of this song that I liked. It said that this song is criticizing meaningless sex. Seeking to satisfy sexual urges has become such a dominant force in "love" that we often miss out on the deeper aspects of romance. The singer is urging a lover that "it's time that we grew old and do some shit", maturing beyond mere sex, and doing more with the relationship.

  • @mikestrikedike u nailed it

  • Lindo! Mas restou uma dúvida...quem decide para onde eles vão?

    I like it all that way!

  • I can never really put a finger on how this song makes me feel. But I love it.

  • so, so good

  • dont remove it

  • is this about sperm?

  • @lilypad797 LOL Maybe it's more about how disgusting they become when they show off, show how much they're happy and everybody listens and hope they want to live the same thing : they are "drinking lover's spit"

    That's what I understand here lol but I'm french... It's not my language I can understand whatever I want XD

    Sperm Oo

  • @lilypad797 Haahahahahahhaahhaahaaaaaa! EPIC :D

  • OMG I'm dead,eargasm

  • ladies and gentlemen, we are floating in space.

    Some days I feel like shit; broken down and tired. I'll listen to this song and close my eyes, and everything is gone and irrelevant, and for 7 and a half minutes I have this blissful sea of nothingness to lose myself in.

  • Gorgeousness!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i am fucking hungry.

  • I'm in deep mixed emotions while watching this clip...

  • Thanks goddess of music for this song. I do not know why but listen to it when I'm sad and when I am quiet. is a mixture of despair and love, melancholy and peace.

  • Leslie Feist's voice has a way of waking up your soul and letting it take over. She inspires me so much. I hope that someday I can go see her perform.

  • @blubryfields4evr just saw her live in Chicago. I was very impressed, she's amazing!

  • best outro ever!

  • Comment removed

  • This is even more sad and heartfelt than the original version

  • i'm somkin' a fat one, lookin' at all these birds. hahaha. i'm such a fool. it sems that there's only one black wing of birds.

  • Brian and Justins wonderful lovestory/sexstory ;) put me here too.. And I'm vry thankful to Queer as Folk for that. This is amazing!

    I like it all that way ♥

  • This song was fantastic in the movie Half Nelson. The scene was just so tragic, I almost became a blubbering tearful mess.

  • ( insert love here )

  • Tu fermes les yeux, ou tu regarde autour de toi, un paysage, ou la vie qui t'entoure, avec cette musique qui berce tes oreilles, on est transporté, sa voix est vraiment magnifique :)

  • This is my favorite music video of all time. I've never been this relaxed by a youtube video. Beautiful, hypnotic...

  • I love the original but I love this version even more - and what a wonderful video for it. Thanks ....

  • Nostalgic...

  • visually exquisite, melodically brilliant. let's all come to terms.

  • visually, it's like a school of fish. perfect mood for this song :)

  • This song just reaches into the darkest part of you, the gray stretching space in your memory, into your soul and the feeling it gives you, is like being pulled into the sea, a calming cold rush. Btw, listen to rainymood with this, makes it even better. If that's possible. :P

  • Everyone on here-Group hug Eastbourne Pier

  • ill only drink vegetarian womans spit

  • So lately I've had the worst time. The past month and a half or so has been one bad thing after another. I listened to this song tonight, then replayed it, then replayed it and for the first time in months, I can honestly say my soul smiled. This feeling is indescribable and I owe this to this very song.

  • @samamthacox I know what you mean..sometimes you just have to repeat doing things that make you smile until that they can actually reach you inside..until they can melt the ice..strange as it seems to wanna spend your time like that..you just feel that it's the only thing you can do.

  • @samamthacox

    I hope you're feeling better these days. Just remember that we can't have our ups if we don't have our downs. :)

  • @samamthacox can u be more epic?

  • Comment removed

  • so sad :'(

  • I am those birds.

  • Feist is just awesome.

  • The lovely part about this video is what birds can do when more than one. The same goes for humans. We just have to be together, and the outcome will be breathtaking

    Apart from the song which is sublime

  • 8 lovers got spit on

  • @plusnightlife and you made the same bullshit comment about the like and dislikes... get over it

  • This version is better than original's...

    Such a beautiful song, relax me everytime I listen to it

  • one of the most lovely things i have seen

  • This is soooooo weird because when I was listening to the plane in the middle of the song take off, I was watching a muted video of a plane flying past this guy taping a video :0 This is the first time i`ve heard this song too...

  • This is one of the most calming things to watch/listen to

  • brian and justin :)

  • best song ever

  • I actually think this is better than the original. Does that mean I should be ashamed of myself?

  • how peaceful looking at the birds free.

  • i was brought here by feist

  • I tought the original version was a great song, then they let Feist sing it... damn....

    Great vid to go with it btw ;)

  • Yes it is hauntingly wonderful

  • AWESOME!!!

  • 8 ppl thought there was something better

  • Is there really anything better? Got to love Canadian indie music...

  • just great!

  • I can't help but wonder how many of those birds one shotgun shell could take out at once....

    Does that make me a bad person?

  • @L0tusOutlaw NO!!! hell NO!! but i wish., when shotgun fires., you're one of the birds., peace mate!

  • Brian and Justin..

    tears!

  • This gives me the chills in the best way every time.

  • kili5896 can you tell me the program your usen to record and is it good sound, after the convert thanks

  • This song is unbelievably beautiful.

  • Thank you so much for posting this. An amazing version of this song!!! I will now convert it to MP3 for my iPod. Cheers!

  • I think I've just listened to this song about 50 times in a row tonight. I love it.

  • Anyone else get totally disgusted by the birds??

  • I just like the video.

  • i will never watch starlings in flight again without thinking of this song.

  • Come baby Asian ladies #lushfmlk.info#

  • I just wanna say that this song was really good in that movie "Lie With Me"

  • Don't really like this version as much.

  • This is perfection. Her voice will never cease to give me chills and I love this video, too. They seem to fit really well together. Every time I'm having a bad day I turn on this video as soon as I get home. Thank you for posting.

  • Lovers spit (literally) has become moar beautiful to me because of this song.

  • @Anders898Avey Me too

  • I heard this song from th movie Lie With Me and the movie Half Nelson and I had to hear it again all the way through

  • I like watching the birds fly... like their following northern lights we cannot see in the daytime... sun burst energies that escape our eyes in the daytime... northern lights at night... i seriously don't think their following some pigeon named bernie... like "wow, bernie banked left.. let's all go that way also..."

  • @MrOClindieMusic it's leslie feist, not linda :)

  • beauty,

    i dont know how kevin drew's more up tempo rendition made YFIIP, they should be swapped

  • This is so amazing....

    I love the other version from BSS, but this one with the piano intro and Linda Feist singing enhances the beauty.

  • i love this song, perfection in it's self, and i like it better with these visual's more than the official video, it just sit's better with the starlings.

  • so refreshing

  • I still love Christopher

  • I still love Christopher

  • 6 people have no concept of beauty

  • @pokeballgo no, 6 people have a different taste in music than you.

    i hate this whole fucking fad that came up with the "highest rated comments" feature. too many fags tryin to get "fame" by making stupid ass comments that will get them "thumbs ups". gtfo.

  • @FatBowlsForBreakfast shit you got me my plan for youtube comment fame has been foiled :[ guess i'm givin up the dream and moving back home.

  • @TheCupIsNowHalfEmpty  QAF (^_____^) Brian and Justin together again

  • Comment removed

  • @TheCupIsNowHalfEmpty i mistakenly read that as bieber and justin and then i threw up in my mouth a little bit

  • this is one of the greatest (fan made) music videos i've ever seen. it just fits the song so perfectly in how simple it is.

  • Fiest's cover to her BSS' buds original is lovely - live. Which is as surprising as a bitter canadian winter.

    Still prefer the original by 1/100th of 1%

  • This song is so near to perfect it hurts a little bit.

    Ah.

  • beautiful song.

  • I just discovered this band last night and I must say I am truly addicted.

  • @therookie93 love and mathematics

    :)

  • LOVE

  • This is one of my favourite things

  • ахуйеть!

  • Thank you so much for posting that! I lived in Eastbourne for years and I used to watch this spectacle every year. It never fails to amaze me and touch my heart. Once, when I was walking on the cliffs, a man came and said there was a tornado off the coast. And it was the starlings. Wonderful. Let's not let them down. They just do what they do without harming anyone or wanting anything, and it's a joy. I wish we humans could be like that. Nice music, too. Thanks again for the memories.

  • I like it all that way.

  • WOW!!! Simply amazing!

  • gorgeous, thanks!

  • Beauty is the promise of happiness. -Stendahl

  • this is so fucking beautiful, i cry. what are we doing to our world? i can't live without scenes like this.

  • The last time I heard this song I was up at around 2 am because I was wide awake from fighting with my girlfriend all night.

    Fitting that It's 12:30 am right now and I'm awake for that same reason.

  • @Maddymw4 Leave the bitch then

  • @Maddymw4 lol

  • @Maddymw4 I hope she's left you for good.

  • i fell in love with this at half nelson

  • That's an awesome movie. They used almost all broken social scene songs! so good!

  • @JOEBREENCHA08162 me too =))

  • @JOEBREENCHA08162 as did i sir! as did i. so beautifully placed.

  • I felt in love with this song watching "Lie with me and Wicker park" : )

  • me too! lie with me was amazing!

  • : )

  • I fell in love.

  • I thought the other version of this song was good until I heard this one and then I was blown away.

  • she reminds me of cat power

  • So i just heard this song 4 the first time today and was blown away ! So much in fact that i had to give it a go myself !(Acoustic) So come by and check it out if ya got a sec . ;)

  • Definitely in contention for Best Video EVER. Sublime Beauty...

  • So this was Leslie Feist band before she's gone solo. I was just enjoying the sounds of Broken Social Scene and I'm glad I've discovered both of them!

    Been listening to Feist fairly recently and was astounded by her voice, especially on live appearances. She was my age, kewl. I knew she sang also with Kings of Covenience, another great band.

    This version is also lovely, although I 1st fell in love with the Wicker Park version. The video is surreal, it really got d mood of the song.

  • what part in wicker park did this song come in .... very interested .... thankx

  • I'm not really sure what part..but definitely it is in the WICKER PARK Soundtrack! It's probably one of the best Movie Soundtrack I had, all songs are winners! I recommend you listen to them.
