@MyDay77 I don't think they're really saying anything. Supposedly, it's a sort of gibberish language the vocalist made up called "Hopelandish" - that's what I've heard, but could be wrong. Hope this helps! There's nothing vulgar or profane in the song if that's what you're wondering. :)
@SimplyCecileP Glad you're finally catching up to them! I just found out why it sounds so much like them: it's because the lead singer from Sigur Ros is singing on this album (and also the child's voice is a lot like them too, but i don't know about that)
@radiomiguel I don't know haha It's nothing on the video. I took the whole audio track off and replaced it with the song. As far as what effect they used in the song, I have no idea!
I want to say it looks amaturish.. but in a good way, ya know? Like its supposed to be just a simple video full of simple, beautiful shots that don't really have any deeper meaning to them except to show beauty. I really like it =]
well done, as a first video........I shall be watching as I feel you will be leaving us breathless. Have just got back from Iceland where I had been introduced to The Album Leaf.....outstanding
Let the water drown out the sound, let's place boxes in every corner box-n ourselves inland I feel like a dolphin that has lost it's fin, hello my friend I saw you but who knows when we shall meet again MySpace/Facebook friends a means 2 a end
The singer from sugir ros is featured ont this song. One of Jimmy Lavalle and Sugir's only collaborations. It's great! Maybe my favorite Album Leaf song.
I always thought he was saying "You shine, look how you shine." I think it's in Hopelandic though with no actual lyrics hah so I guess that just means he wants it to interpret it our own way, so that's mine :)
I believe art is here to help us out in pivotal moments in our lives, and I want you to know that you have helped me out in one of mine. I can only hope I can do for others what this has done for me.
I can see what people are saying about it being alot like Sigur Rós. Just the music itself is alike. Guess the two bands must talk alot and help each other out or something.
I'm sorry but you're mistaken. Look up "Over the Pond" by Album Leaf on iTunes. I know it sounds different from some of their other stuff...but I assure you, it's Album Leaf.
Have you seen the Italian film "L'Amico di famiglia"? it reminds me of the scene where Rosalba is being driven to her wedding by the lone shark and she's staring blankly out of the window at the passing town, they use the same music actually.
This is absolutely one of my favorite songs ever. Some of my favorite memories are to this song. I had some of the best times of my life driving around the mountains in the fall with my sunroof open and my best friend, just listening to this song, without even having to say anything. Your video brought all those memories back. Great job, I love it.
...wow i never thot of it THAT way...thats actualy pretty smart. thanks like my understanding of the song is so much clearer now tho the song isnt clear...thanks haha. btw i always use this song to meditate before i get out in public for one of my shows!
its my favorite Album Leaf song. You're right about how lonely and sad it sounds. I don't know how they got that atmosphere so deeply imprinted into the song.
wow. beautifull. this song effects me in some way i dont understand completely. But the video is exquisite. It seems so lonely and sad. I can't explain it but i really like this, i dont know why.
beautiful

I think that everyone on YouTube has somethin' to say. Also who shot a crazy drunk party or maybe his/her boring birthday (for example).
Someone uses special effects, CGI, puppets, or create somethin' we have never seen before just to improve his/her message.
In this case I see simple things. Very simple shots. And beautiful moments.
I like this style. It's like when you dream and move your eyes around you.
Well I explain very bad but watchin' her videos is like move my eyes around into a dream.
