Levi's Go Forth Commercial with English subtitles campaign HD The Laughing Heart Charles Bukowski

[hectorniemeth1]

This is the most hypocritical crap I’ve ever seen, leave the greats alone, isn’t there enough Christina Aguilera’s out there to exploit?

[pahk005]

fcuk levi's..this ad is inspiring. tbh.

[AndySarvis]

I came here for Hank, idgaf about levis

[dukevoice1]

subtitles because they buried his cool voice with their wallpaper music.

[xNinaMusic]

This may be a commercial for jeans brand, but seriously I think its beautiful.

[crowan83]

Waaaah. These Jeans dont have anything to do with my cult hero, waaaah.

Think about how many people this inspired to look into and discover Bukowski. Even if it was only one and even it it's for some "evil" jean company... Worth it.

[Mescaline20]

If only it didn't said Levis at the end…

[xoblackout]

i LOVE buk. the images in this video are beautiful!

[jenaynay88]

Did Tom Waits really narrate this? Anyone know?

[xoblackout]

@jenaynay88 i doubt it, see his original video reading this. doesnt sound like him

[captainbloor]

@jenaynay88 Definitely not. Tom doesn't do adverts and certainly not Levi's.

[sstyblo]

why do I have to watch a commercial before I watch a commercial?

[nacharov90]

music?

[spiritfox4]

Dude it's definitely not Tom Waits narrating and it does sound sort of like Gary Farmer, but the voice over is by Wes Studi people...listen again.

[latenightmoonlight]

Recuperation.

[seamus3469]

Bukowski would just say, "Fuck it" and drink another beer...

[321bronnie]

I love this ad! I think it's really beautiful and it makes me so happy watching it! Thanks Levis!

[chasepw133]

Bukowski would rape their fucking faces for using his poem.

[timmlive]

i cant really see how Levi's has anything to do with the spiritual atmosphere in this video. I think they just want a free ride on the wave of consciousness..

[capnbomz]

Voiceover's not Tom Waits, it's Gary Farmer - an awesome Native American actor. He was in Dead Man and Smoke Signals.

[0428mar]

That girls ass sold more jeans than this poem.they should of used "Born into this"

[dabangginception]

i just watched a retarded waterpurifier commercial to watch an epic jeans commercial.

[jezebeltw]

The voice is Gary Farmer.



[homercall]

wow, i just cant stop watching this, its marvelous!

[luuko656]

no way thats Tom Waits....

[capnbomz]

@luuko656 It's Gary Farmer.

[MrBv888]

The music is Anjos (Florine) by Julianna Barwick, for those who where asking..

[stupidusernamecrap]

To him or her who talked about "the morons on the west coast", dude I don't like the commercial either and I am a Christian, but both you and Glenn Beck are soooooooo wrong and one last thing Christ is not the property of the far right.

[bamcis17]

To everyone inspired by this: you can't "beat death in life...sometimes!" by buying fucking jeans! Levis abandoned America and became one of the biggest exploiters of third-world labor on the planet. Don't swallow their bullshit and don't buy their shitty jeans.

[pahtooPW]

@bamcis17 well, to be onest i dont give a fuck about levi's nor do i give a fuck about what your saying and wanting to achive with it. It's just about this commercial that inspires others. But i do agree there jeans r shitty

[Drmanolo]

"there is a light somewhere.

it may not be much light but

it beats the darkness."

[gnash555]

What a load of crap.  Levi's stopped making quality, long-lasting denim goods in the late '80's

[bondagebreaker7]

gods = devils; but I don't want to spoil the flattering effort the narrator is trying to me

[exodus9001]

@bondagebreaker7 ..Mkay. Would you mind restating that, as I cannot understand the point you are trying to get across. .-.

[bondagebreaker7]

@exodus9001 levi's is using new age religion to peddle their goods

[exodus9001]

@bondagebreaker7 Color me incredibly dubious

[polymathNcre8]

This is a poem by Charles Bukowski called "The Laughing Heart." He would've hated this video. And this is NOT Tom Waits reading this poem. Tom Waits does a way better reading than this Voice Over. Levi's ruined this poem.

[dickyt7845]

Not Tom Waits. Still good though.

[Seanctk10001]

the girl at 0:07 has no bra on, saw it on the tv and was just makin sure

[mentalbaby18]

Terrible use of Bukowski, it doesn't sound like Tom Waits reading it though, I have heard him read it before, this was very robotic.

[Filipawoon]

i love the quotes, the commercial itself is kind of stupid. But the quote is awesome

[CentRLeft]

this is a stupid commercial. I can see why ppl in England were pissed that this was running during their recent riots!

[WhiteMasterHand]

should be awesome to go out in a lake with a table

[jaesondrummond]

Please read 2 Corinthians 11:14.



[rja12]

Glen Beck mentioned this commercial on his radio program today. He said he believes it promotes riots, anti-government, anti-police and such. I swear that guy sees only bad in just about everything he lays his eyes upon. I would hate to go through life being so negative.

[missyoctane]

Charles Bukowski wrote this. The title is "Laughing Heart"

[IG8E8]

GO FORTH... and smash your local store's windows for your FREE Levis! I get the message!

[ThinkLearnSolve]

@singledad1234 stfu, there is no f-ing god

[kingstuks]

@ThinkLearnSolve If that's the case then why are all these khazars Jew companies continuously promoting this kabbalist luciferian crap.

[robbertobdam]

You are marvelous

[71enny]

It has nothing to do with a jeans advert but it has a lot of sense in it

[Liberator130]

So, talking about beating death through accepting life has something to do with Levis pants?...What the fuck?

[bamcis17]

The indian chief says the only way to defeat evil is buy purchasing this fine brand of jeans.

[bandgoesboom]

THIS IS NOT TOM WAITS

[johnsoss91]

@sewageking0 I totally agree

[johnsoss91]

It sounds just like Pocahontas's dad in the movie!

[musgravk]

@johnsoss91 agreed - Russell Means. can't find a confirmation that it's him, but it was driving me nuts not knowing who it actually was. ha

[LOLUMADCAUSUBAD]

The actual Levi's commercial never gave credit to Charles Bukowski. Fucking assholes.

[grace3014]

would be funny if this add showed before the video started

[loveworthdyingfor]

I kind of think Bukowski would be rolling in his grave to know that his poem about being a unique individual is used to sell brand-name jeans.

[grace3014]

my favorite comercial ever

[razorjosh]

This video, even though a levi's commercial...has made me think about what is next in my life more than anything I have ever SEEN

[bassmonster2]

@razorjosh See more things.

[razorjosh]

ok...thanks ill try

[Chinesenaakthond]

Who can send me the whole poem of this advertising: Your life is your life?

[harrrypothead]

@Chinesenaakthond

Check show more in the video description :)

share it...

[RainDog222222]

@harrrypothead "Commercial Voice Over by Tom Waits" = epic fail

[missyoctane]

@Chinesenaakthond It's by Charles Bukowski. The title is "Laughing Heart"

[DrinkDrankPunk72]

@Chinesenaakthond The Laughing Heart is the name of the poem Charles Bukowski

[urikh9]

@6883a927

Dude just enjoy the poem and video, but please don't try to start a flame war

[admarshall617]

@urikh9 i agree with you. people always gotta take stuff too seriously

[6883a927]

There is one God, any others you could claim are false!

[VaIentinee]

does anyone know what the backround theme song is?

[dilkashh]

@VaIentinee

if you find the background theme song, let me know too pleasee

[VaIentinee]

@dilkashh I tried looking for it for so long and still couldn't find results, But I'llkeep searching and if I do find it, i'll share :D

[kolayification]

@VaIentinee Julianne Barwick - Anjos

[ATRTAP]

A great commercial. I especially enjoy the pro-anarchist message.

[smillingdeath]

I watched the clip. I was fascinated. And I thought, need to live forever.

(Néztem a klipet. Lenyűgözött. És arra gondoltam: örökké kell élni.)

[prettybirdification]

i can't stand youtube ads before i watch my music videos .. but this one i can stand to watcy :)

[micromanagedmedia1]

New Age gobbly-gook. What do you expect from the morons on the left coast. God will not be mocked! Galatians 6:7

[cmkotyk]

tom waits did famously make a spoken word recording of this poem, but this isn't it

[david09385]

BEAUTIFUL commercial!

[tlcorsello]

Are you sure its Tom Waits? It sounds like a Native American.

[PsychoReaper49]

@tlcorsello

Charles Burlowski

[PsychoReaper49]

@tlcorsello

The Laughing Heart

[aldouss71]

@tlcorsello it's sounds like Gary Farmer in Dead Man

[BrocoliBeatsTurtle]

@tlcorsello i listened to tom waites reading it and it sounded nothing like this so im guessing its someone else

[die4pie]

@tlcorsello This is definitely NOT Tom Waits.

[AMOR4VELOCIDAD]

Such simple ,yet a profound poem... And a fantastic clip, so inspirational... Thanks for sharing Consciousness ... PEACE.

[albertcat1966]

nobody say that it´s a bukowski´s poem? he was the best american poet

[gustavosantaolalla]

@albertcat1966 it is mentioned in the description, and yes he is one of the gr8est modern poets..

.

[FleurOlivia]

I think it's a wonderfull message.

[chill123103]

this video makes me want to live life better, go out and have fun and do crazy things

[doctorgt3]

did anybody notice that guy using a table as a boat?

[migue9116]

@doctorgt3

hahahah

I thought too, when I saw for the first time the video

[onlyhcfreak]

@doctorgt3 aha w00t the fuck? XD

[lonlyjoker]

[FCULeiden]

'You can't beat death, but you can beat death in life..sometimes'

[devildyl]

[NeoV3x]
