This was my cousin's song at her wedding a few years ago. Your video does this beautiful song justice. But when the singer says "... as you rode on your bike ..." at 2:10, your girlfriend is riding on a horse. I had to laugh at that part.
This is incredibly sweet. You really captured the essence of this song. I have tears running down my face right now, thinking of the love of my life and how this is so appropriate for him. Thank you
this is just beautiful! ive watched this with my fiance. we met at a bowling alley because his friend and my friend were dating my life has never been the same since i love you jake<3
I sent a link of this video to my best friend hoping that it would tell her how i really feel about her because i'm too shy to just say it and now we just call each other luckiest. Shes had a boyfriend for a couple of months now and i was hoping that shed would like me after this but i think im stuck in the friend zone with her. Please reply if anyone has any advice on how to get her to fall for me because i can't take it anymore
@supahflykid24 it's rough, i know, but stick it out. maybe one day she'll come around, if not, being friends is better than nothing. and if you really care for her, you'll be happy that she's happy, no matter who she's with.
I was at a wedding last weekend and the groom sang this to his bride. He is fighting throat cancer and won't be able to sing again, his voice is barely audible and it causes him great pain, but he got special permission from his doctor to sing one last time for his bride.... it just got kinda dusty in here as i was typing that... this is a great video! thanks for sharing!
I'm getting married in a few weeks, and we are having troubles finding the song to walk down the aisle to. I had originally picked The Beatles, I Will, but my fiance thought the words didn't make that much sense. I googled this song kind of by accident and heard it for the first time, along with your video. I am in love with this song and I think your video is amazingly awesome. I cried the whole time I listened to this, and we found our song. Thanks for the video! Cheers.
@adiostraitorobama As I said below....this song was my wife and I's first dance at the wedding. We did, however, dub out that particular verse becuase we thought it was a bit grim. Don't think its meant to be pedo-ish...just saying what if we weren't even the same age as in how lucky they are. It is kind of a depressing verse though
A friend of mine, a few nights ago, told me to watch your video as i listen to this song, which i had never before heard. In all, it all moved me as nothing has before, and may never again. The video is beautiful, moving and wonderful and i will always associate it with this song, which has now become a favorite. Thank you for taking the time to make this inspired, inspiring video to such a lovely song. i am appreciative!
@KarenBP356 - It was my pleasure...when I played this for my wife I was choked up watching it with her...and I had already watched it like 100 times during edits and whatnot. Never thought others would get the same feeling from a video I made. Thanks for taking the time to watch and enjoying it :)
I also dug out my old YouTube account for this... my dad who passed away from cancer two years ago used to sing this to me. And now I have an amazing boyfriend who I can share this with. But thank you for putting this up. It means a lot to so many people, and its a good way to think. To remember what we have :)
This is a really cool and kind-spirited video and everything ... but I can't help but piss myself laughing at 0:37 where the guy starts to randomly spaz out, appearing to have something between a stroke and an epileptic fit.
@PLeChuck23 I took me awhile to figure out what you meant :) - He's supposed to be drunk :) - LOL I can see how it could be confused for a stroke though :)
Went to all the trouble of finding my old account with godknowswhatpassword just to say how inspired this video is. I was just searching to hear the song, and i even almost navigated away while the song was playing to spare myself of whatever trainwreck some 11 year old came up with, but I was so pleasantly surprised to see how much thought and creativity went into making a video out of what i can only imagine was a game similar to the sims. Well done, you. You made the song timeless for me, tx!
@aregordon Wow!!! Thank you for taking the time to find your login info(I cannot even get my good friends to take that much time and effort :) ) to give such a awesome review. This is why I enjoy making and sharing my work. Thank you!
@pianoxkeys34 why care what random strangers think of you? my guess is his now wife loved it... and it's pretty creative considering he used a computer game to direct it...
@pianoxkeys34 I only get irritated when someone says..."This sucks, I hope you die!" or something pointless and not helpful at all :). I realized in my later years (28+ and on) that you cannot please everyone. :) Be happy for the ones you can entertain and make smile. Thanks for the comment.
@rtkiiiprod That's what the DELETE key is for! I learned a long time ago to set most of my videos for the comments to only show up AFTER I approve them. And if they've said something nasty I tend to post a comment on their page about how pathetic they are then BLOCK them :)
Very cool! Thanks for sharing! The video fit well, the little imperfections are like all relationships, imperfect. If you are out there looking for perfect, good luck, you will never find it. They are between people and no one is perfect. That includes all of us!
I think that regardless of what other people may think, You did a great job on this video. Very creative. Very touching little Sim story, lol. The video fit the song very well and I sincerely doubt that someone could do better. Gold star man. Congrats on the wedding!
So totally the first dance song at our upcoming wedding; a bit weird, since one of the groomsmen had this as his first song, but it is totally fitting. I am, indeed, the luckiest. This brings tears to my eyes (the good kind).
Regardless of the quality of the video, this is one of the most romantic things a guy could ever do! I would have certainly felt like the luckiest if my husband-to-be had ever put something together like this for me! :)
@rtkiiiprod So I'm in a class discussing copyright laws and I'm going to make a video using sims as well. My question is did you ever worry about getting in trouble for copyright laws?
@jmirow2 When I made it no? Because I had never used youtube before and I was not planning on sharing this with anyone else. But once I got the youtube account and it let it go through I was fine. This song particularlly in my details says it cannot be played in some countries. I have uploaded other songs(linkin park) that would never upload because of copyright issues. I never think it is a problem to use copyrighted music as long as you DO NOT sell. But i'm not a lawyer :)
@maniacalpanda - oh then why didn't he say Ginger? :) It's because I have Red hair and the character in it is based on my experiences...well some what. I was not 50 when I saw my wife riding past on her "Horse." :)
@martiparti95 I'm assuming you're asking why the guy in the video is a "ginger", or a person who has red hair. I can't speak for the uploader, but I think he was making a video portraying himself and the way that this particular song may relate to his own life. I don't believe the man in the video is supposed to be Ben Folds. If that isn't what you meant, then I have no idea what you're talking about just like "rtkiiiprod".
@martiparti95 Ben is playing the piano in those shots in this video - or the best I could make him. I'm the redhead living the story of the song in the video.
I have loved this song for a long time. At first I did not like the cartoon video, but as I watched it, it overcame me. I feel now as though the video were made just for me to describe my situation. Everything from the horses instead of the bike, the short dark hair on the female lead. All of it. It brings tears to my eyes. Great job!

I think you did a very good job. Love the fade-out/disappearance of the characters in their 90s - sad but touching. Bodies die but our spirits fade out of this world to wherever and that's the loss what we mourn not the body.
People are being stupid about this and not appreciating the song at all and all the work you put into the video. Obviously in a video game they have limited commands and limited options. Obviously they didn't have one for a person riding a bike, so he opted for a horse. it's all figurative. Any time I want to listen to this song on youtube I use your video :) Thanks for such an awesome vid!
@clk22 at leats you know how to give constructive critism...This does nothing for you or me and no one will see this because I will remove it. Nice jobn of wasting both of our times.
I don't know if this was already said and maybe this would be very difficult to achieve, but the piano playing animation is not accurate for what is actually being played. Since the piano is Ben's signature forte, and especially in this song, it is very disappointing not to see the pianist perform the lilting notes he should interlude as well as it being off in the other spots.
@llaramo - It was made with "The Movies." And the piano animations they had were all for a Western Set...I weas dispointed as well that there was not something so frantic...but I used what I could. Now that I look back at it I could have slowed down that action...but that is all in the past. The Movies was a great launching pad for me but it was far from perfect and took alot of dedication to come up with the video I did. So I am happy...thanks for watching. No need to post three times :)
@rtkiiiprod It was a technical error that I posted three time; please don't take it personally. Thanks for taking time to explain; everything makes sense now. I just wanted you to know in case you don't play piano and weren't aware of the difference. Nice video.
I think the static-y way it's constructed adds another dimension to the clip. It adds to the insecurity, tentativeness of the singer and how very much he wants to say because he's filled with so much overwhelming appreciation. Very tender. Wouldn't we love it if he was singing about us? ;)
@jeddus - Very cool, thank you!!! I have a couple of short films I have done as well. "Friends For Life" is on my channel's homepage if you want to check it out. It's my best effort thus far but far from perfect since I have budget camera and lighting. Rode mic though.
The verse about the old couple always makes me cry. Without fail. Very powerful part of the song... so it makes me very sad that TheRemixMan didn't understand it right away lol. :'(
@hchano I love this song, something like this actually happened to some people at my church. A womans husband was sick, and she told him that if he was going to die, she wanted him to take her along with him. well a few days later he died, and less than 24 hours later she died too. Sad, but good at the same time because their love kept them together until the very end.
Wow., Truly amazing. Great job. I went to college with Ben Folds at University of North Carolina. Hes a great man. I actually got back in touch with him recnently and told him about THIS video.
My boyfriend and I live 624 miles apart, so we only see each other every other month, sometimes less than that. Every time he has to leave again and we don't know when we'll be together again, he tells me to listen to this song. He just left about an hour ago, so I of course listened to it, and now I can't stop crying.
@wegotorangeomg thats terrible that you guys cant be closer :( Im sorry, I know it must be difficult for you to see him rarely, and the goodbyes are terrible. If it makes you feel better: My boyfriend is 6,122 miles away from me right now, overseas in Korea. He left 3 months ago and wont be back until a week before Christmas. & he used to sing this to me :) So of course, I, like you, listen to this when I miss him. Keep smiling & think how wonderful things will be when hes in your arms again. :)
There is a girl......who has entered my life.....and because she has said that soon she will be my wife.....that she will be the best thing in my life..... it is I who am....The Luckiest......
@TheRemixMan - I agree. Your spouse should truly be the other half of you. Two become one. I'm not saying that the other should just waste away but that often happens with the elderly. I'm also not opposed to love after one spouse dies. I wouldn't want mine to live alone after me; but I have the love of my life. And when that ends, I just don't see replacing that.
A girl last night said to me "Ben Folds wrote a little ditty about me...you probably have heard it it's called the luckiest." I smiled like a little kid for about an hour. Love this song soo much.
@ rtkiiiprod: i loooove this song, so sweet and beautiful, and your video makes it just THAT much better, how sweet that you made it for your girlfriend and she's now your wife. great song, great video, thanks for sharing.
Call me dumb, but I don't quite understand the verse about the old man and his wife. It seems irrelevant to the rest of the song. I've heard the song before, but I never really caught it until I watched this video.
No you're not dumb at all - It's the longevity of love with the two at the end. They've been together so long when one passes the other cannot bear to go on any longer. So she dies shortly after. Good stuff.
@rtkiiiprod yeah basically she dies of a broken heart and he is saying he knows she is the one cuz he wont be able to go on without her if she ever leaves him its a great analogy
@rtkiiiprod she basically dies of a broken heart and ben folds is saying he knows she is the one cuz he can't go on without her if she ever leaves its a great analogy
@TheRemixMan its saying that she (the wife) cant be without him (the old man). as if she died from broken heart. like the singer cant be without his love.
@TheRemixMan also that is something that happens pretty often. They have been married for 50 or 60 years and one passes the other one usually passes within 1 year or something like that but sometimes its just days. Its like their souls do not want to continue living without their mate. Kinda cool I think....
@TheRemixMan - I agree. Your spouse should truly be the other half of you. Two become one. I'm not saying that the other should just waste away but that often happens with the elderly. I'm also not opposed to love after one spouse dies. I wouldn't want mine to live alone after me; but I have the love of my life. And when that ends, I just don't see replacing that.

I have loved this song for a long time. At first I did not like the cartoon video, but as I watched it, it overcame me. I feel now as though the video were made just for me to describe my situation. Everything from the horses instead of the bike, the short dark hair on the female lead. All of it. It brings tears to my eyes. Great job!

I think you did a very good job. Love the fade-out/disappearance of the characters in their 90s - sad but touching. Bodies die but our spirits fade out of this world to wherever and that's the loss what we mourn not the body.

I've always wanted to make a music video type video with my sims game, but I am way too lazy! haha :)

People are being stupid about this and not appreciating the song at all and all the work you put into the video. Obviously in a video game they have limited commands and limited options. Obviously they didn't have one for a person riding a bike, so he opted for a horse. it's all figurative. Any time I want to listen to this song on youtube I use your video :) Thanks for such an awesome vid!

I don't know if this was already said and maybe this would be very difficult to achieve, but the piano playing animation is not accurate for what is actually being played. Since the piano is Ben's signature forte, and especially in this song, it is very disappointing not to see the pianist perform the lilting notes he should interlude as well as it being off in the other spots.
llaramo 1 year ago
@llaramo - It was made with "The Movies." And the piano animations they had were all for a Western Set...I weas dispointed as well that there was not something so frantic...but I used what I could. Now that I look back at it I could have slowed down that action...but that is all in the past. The Movies was a great launching pad for me but it was far from perfect and took alot of dedication to come up with the video I did. So I am happy...thanks for watching. No need to post three times :)

@rtkiiiprod It was a technical error that I posted three time; please don't take it personally. Thanks for taking time to explain; everything makes sense now. I just wanted you to know in case you don't play piano and weren't aware of the difference. Nice video.

@rtkiiiprod
I think the static-y way it's constructed adds another dimension to the clip. It adds to the insecurity, tentativeness of the singer and how very much he wants to say because he's filled with so much overwhelming appreciation. Very tender. Wouldn't we love it if he was singing about us? ;)

@hchano I love this song, something like this actually happened to some people at my church. A womans husband was sick, and she told him that if he was going to die, she wanted him to take her along with him. well a few days later he died, and less than 24 hours later she died too. Sad, but good at the same time because their love kept them together until the very end.

My boyfriend and I live 624 miles apart, so we only see each other every other month, sometimes less than that. Every time he has to leave again and we don't know when we'll be together again, he tells me to listen to this song. He just left about an hour ago, so I of course listened to it, and now I can't stop crying.

@wegotorangeomg thats terrible that you guys cant be closer :( Im sorry, I know it must be difficult for you to see him rarely, and the goodbyes are terrible. If it makes you feel better: My boyfriend is 6,122 miles away from me right now, overseas in Korea. He left 3 months ago and wont be back until a week before Christmas. & he used to sing this to me :) So of course, I, like you, listen to this when I miss him. Keep smiling & think how wonderful things will be when hes in your arms again. :)

@TheRemixMan - I agree. Your spouse should truly be the other half of you. Two become one. I'm not saying that the other should just waste away but that often happens with the elderly. I'm also not opposed to love after one spouse dies. I wouldn't want mine to live alone after me; but I have the love of my life. And when that ends, I just don't see replacing that.

Call me dumb, but I don't quite understand the verse about the old man and his wife. It seems irrelevant to the rest of the song. I've heard the song before, but I never really caught it until I watched this video.

No you're not dumb at all - It's the longevity of love with the two at the end. They've been together so long when one passes the other cannot bear to go on any longer. So she dies shortly after. Good stuff.

@TheRemixMan also that is something that happens pretty often. They have been married for 50 or 60 years and one passes the other one usually passes within 1 year or something like that but sometimes its just days. Its like their souls do not want to continue living without their mate. Kinda cool I think....
