Ben Harper And Relentless7 - Skin Thin

[sasquatchandkitten]

Probably the best video in a decade.

[TheStevep22]

In case nobody knows this, the dude with the beard in this video is Mikey Powell and he is one of the greatest lacrosse players ever. his highlight vids probably have more likes than this

[MassiveDynamique]

Amazing ! where is the Happy end lol

[MsPablo11]

i love this song :D

[McKayDouglas]

Even though the rich life is tempting and glamorous, I really wish my life turns out like his. I would feel my life is complete if I am able to wake up and serve the people around me and make an old lady smile everyday. That's my American Dream.

[MrToyFrisbee]

I breathe out, you breathe in. The days they seem so long.

[velion23able]

where is the happy end? I'm not satisfied :(

[xultramfc]

I enjoyed being a part of this video. I am the cashier in the video at the store I work at. xultra_mfc@yahoo.com. My name is Gifford Wright. I love this video. I have many photos of this store where the video was filmed, if anyone is interested.

[maleeai]

He's such a beautiful man. Beard. Hard working. Visits the cutest old woman on the planet. Perfect:)

[jakebluz77]

The hard working guy lives in a trailer. Meanwhile the stripper lives in a nice house. Such is life.

[SoulJet1]

Rarely does an incredible song have an incredible video. Well done for all involved. A really moving piece...

When watched the first couple of times I thought they were complete strangers. But now I see another possibility. Have they perhaps recently broken up and neither are brave enough to call each other? All that was needed was a chance meeting.

Just another perspective although I prefer the original I think...

[htoesc46]

@SoulJet1 i'm agreed with you, but also i think that he can't hold on as she does. It seems when lyrics says "i breath out, you breathe in"... he appears doing nothing special, just going on with rutine; she is going a trip.

Excuse me for my english, im from Chile.

Regards.

[missjewlie]

I don't get it

[momofthreewee]

I love this song and the video makes my skin tingle...it is just such a great song

[AiwaLee]

its been up for 1 year and has less than 100k views??

what the hell is wrong with people??? :/

[HardcoreWhiteKid]

sounds like wish you were here

[RacerXinTexas]

Hey Mike and Sam - it was great meeting you guys at SXSW at my print shop. Glad I was able to make those one-sheets for your short film, which, by the way, kicks ass all the way around. Great song, great cinematography and two very appealing leads. And grandma is a very nice touch. Y'all should be very proud of this one. Cheers!

[BruinsOfBoston]

Mikey Powell is a faggot

[hvanoorschot]

Daniel Stessen makes the best videos; also check out the ones he did for Chris Garneau!

[ryrodye]

I'm a big fan of Ben Harper and music videos in general. But I have no idea where they were going with this. Beautiful song though. 

[AllissonDiego29]

0:56 NICE ASS!

[chbrody]

That's the best part, Sim4, in that it replicates life.

[sim4sho]

NO! I thought they were going to get together! DAMNZ

[x0lOllipOp0x]

@sim4sho can you imagine how many times it happens? to us, too..

[caddman1975]

Hey, that's the Giffyo working at the Red Apple in Caz!

[TheJakedout]

Mikey Powell is awesome, I just wish we could see more of him on the field rather than in the studio.

[bouncingsouls11]

[Opheliaismykitty]

Daniel Stessen = genius. Mike Powell = delicious!

Great song R7 - great video Daniel!

[THIBERTEULALIE]

To Be so close ~~ and To Never really See the One that Your Longing for ~~~

For they are just a Breath away~~~ Thank You ~~!!

This one always hits close to Home XXxx

[F3FisGoodforYou]

Like Ben's music: simple and incredibly beautiful.

How Talent can make a beautiful picture out of a girl putting the trash-bins out... Like Ben, who can create a gem with three old guitar chords.

This movie is at the image of my life...:(

[tauviadawn]

Daniel Stessen is a directing god.

[luciuso]

This is the OFFICIAL VIDEO for Skin Thin. So beautiful.

[terrapinbrad]

...not surprisingly, a great job done on this video. The story, characters, cinematography, and OF COURSE the song I've heard a million times and never thought of in that way. It's just sad to imagine how many times I've done just what they did though. :-( Thanks so much to all involved from Ben and the band all the way to YouTube. ;-}

[Andy32074]

makes me thankful for the love of my life, my wife, and the fortunate series of events that led us to not just pass in the night!

[dmacjazz]

wonderful, thank you!

[akaR0SS]

Shot in the Cuse.

[aliens27311]

Great job. Concise and conveys an unbelieveable feeling. The cliffhanging of the two meeting and then just brushing paths was executed with perfection. Props to the whole crew that worked on this video. And to Ben for providing, as always, such visionary music and lyrics.

[ottobry]

A very fitting video for the song. Captures the feeling of loneliness so well it's scary.

[Jacks942]

Nice video!!

[sickstyle]

like the song AND like the ass teehee

[Original50]

That kind of depressed me a bit :O§

The video was a touch too close to home on a lifestyle I once led.

Never mind, there's enough positive stuff from Ben to cheer me up :O)

[stovallsinspain]

WOW! I love this!!

[4lonebc]

Very good <3

[dmenasha]

beautifully honest. great video- ben you are always the loveliest

[BryanPerido]

Killer video. Daniel. Very nice. . . . and of course that the song is beautiful goes without saying. Thank you, Ben for all your wonderful music.

[rerust]

Perfect Daniel.

[Opheliaismykitty]

I love this song and the video went along so well. One of my favorite R7 songs on their White Lies for Dark Times album.  I am excited for the next one!!

[thespidererik]

this was shot using a DSLR wasn't it?

[Sojourn39]

so beautiful and sad

[margarida909]
