I have wonderful friends... one of them linked to this video for my birthday. Of course, I love the song and have been known to play it for other people... :)
i find this song realy inspirational, it points out that your getting older and the day will end soon and makes you want to be productive, it was my theme song through the last 5k words of my first book, thank you for uploading.
Trivia: the place they shot this video is the top of the ClockTower Building in Brooklyn, and has now been converted into an apartment that you can't afford.
For those who were wondering - the reeds on this track are actual reeds. No fancy guitar pedals in sight. What you're hearing is a rauschpfeife and a contrabass sarrusophone, if memory serves. Great stuff
This is indeed the best version of the song, you have no idea how long I’ve been looking for a video of it on YouTube that’s not a crappy fan-made clip, thank you so much for uploading it.
This song puts everything in perspective...

I prefer this version of the song to the other, it's alot more creepier and.. weirder sounding. Great video :) What version is this anyway?
