The dead woman floating in the sea with her legs outstretched... the same image of the lighthouse to the tune of 'the waves crashed around me', that kept cropping up, and then...I lost it. I'm sorry. I must have lost respect for something...but I couldn't stop laughing.
Hello people, the story is about what happens through the lighthouses eyes. that's it, no love story for him or her, its the story of the lighthouse as seen through the lighthouses eyes.
My friend said he wanted to cover this for our band. He asked me if I knew anybody that could come in and play the mandolin like that. I said, that's like asking if I can bring Eric Clapton in to play with us. Man, these guys are boss.
I love this song because it's not just a love story about a man and a woman. It's the lighthouse's love story too. It makes me stop and thing about how much history is in everything around me. And not just textbook history, but personal and intimate stories.
My sister's English teacher played this song for them on Monday. When one of her rabbits died the next day, this is the song that immediately came to her mind. She has had it stuck in her head all day and I think it is a beautiful song.
Heard this song for the first time at a jam session. It's a great song! Parts of your video are a little corny but all and all a good video. Thanks for the post.
wow, the dumbest video ever. i really really love nickel creek, and one of the best live bands i've ever seen, but this video is absolutely awful. it really takes away from the song. i think it should require a disclaimer.
@stevesellers you like the video? and i am not talking about the song. i am a huge NC fan. and i didnt want to watch it. i just wanted a quik fix to the song. clicked this and watched like half of it and couldnt take anymore.
I didn't watch it because I don't think it was meant to be watched as a video. I'm pretty sure it was just put up so you could hear a decent quality version of the song off the album as opposed to live clips from video cameras.
Beautiful! Favorite song.Love lighthouses.The tale reminds me of the story of new london ledge, except the keeper's wife ran off with another man, and he jumped off the top of the light.Its supposedly haunted now.
The only thing sad is you 2 idiots fighting over nothing instead of listening to the beautiful song. Plus i dont think its sad its true love... somthing we dont understand these days. by the way no need for the video man the song tells the story without your dumb pictures. no offense.
3. The only reason the M/P icon slightly bothered me (and I mean slightly) is because the obama "team" came to my school and gave alot of us internships and "wrote" college recomendation letters, and after going through an entire election with M/P insulting him, I grew to dislike anything that was asosiated with them. My slight discust is not centered at you but at that image. The only person in my family that gets "benifits" is my mother*cont*
*cont* because she is blind. Her glaucoma ate part of her eye away and she is legally blind. I plan on getting my docteral degree in psychology and joining the work force. Without sounding like a bitch, you should really try not to jump to conclusions.
guess ya could what>? need something or someone that much? i dunno I was well on my way to an altered state of mentality when I commented...thanks for answering my stupid question though :)
It's such a moving song, but the pics suck... It's a sad song no funny crap
