Love how this is such an amateur video but so beautiful.

[blurrybigfoot74]

Sad song, but still life affirming somehow.

[doNug83]

The lyrics of the song contradict the fun looking trip but I think it's edited well to the music, if you don't really think about the lyrics.

[roxysurfer2]

Love it

[roxysurfer2]

Make more

[roxysurfer2]

Love this! it's in my favorites!

[princess0943]

i love this song soo much!! my teacher mr.wagner showed it to me and i really love the beat of the song its very calming

[Abusher17]

absolutely love it.

[xXzedleppelinXx]

I think this video with this song is amazingly beautiful. The song is sad, but with this video it really makes you look at life and think of how beautiful everything is. They bring out the best in each other. I know you didn't intend for it to give that feel, but good job anyhow :)

[MelloMarMar]

Honestly, your footage was beautiful, but it most definitely does not fit such a tragic and beautiful song.

[Sunnybunny226]

I <3 this song

[391083]

it's a lovely set of images, and actually, I don't find the music too discordant with the images. NYC can be a sad and lonely place in the summer.

Or, you could just imagine that who Sufjan is singing about was on this vacation, and this is what one remembers in the state his friend is in.

Anyway, fwiw, I think it's a lovely string of images set to a great song.

[mieprowan]

fantastic. You're really talented. I love all the contrasts between the images and the light, and the speed and the focus. You go!

[jxwhee]

1:06 damn she be backin' that ass up

[blkngreen]

You can't just make Sufjan music whatever you want it to mean. When he writes music, he always has a specific purpose to the song. This song is about a young man and woman who are in love but are faced with the fact that the girl has terminal bone cancer and will not live very long. They are obviously virgins who had sex because they were faced with never being married one day because she was going to die. Then afterward they are both emotionally torn because they are going to lose each other

[Strider1526]

@blkngreen I disagree. You can make any music from any artist whatever you want of it. That's what music's there for, regardless of the writer's intent.

[irisindelight]

i don't think this song is exactly something I would set my vacation video to, it's one of the purest, saddest, and troubling songs I've ever heard.

[countbleck123]

but that's a cool thing about sufjan's music. you can make whatever you want of it.

[zenrarity]

But it's hopeful and beautiful at the same time.

[speedstackingaddict]

this is such a sweet and humble song =3

[underpressure16]

This song reminds me of some really sweet times in my life. Thanks for the upload.

[bearfightsninja]

except Ny is better.

[julesbanana1]

damn straight

[bearfightsninja]

hi jules.

[Jkoop1979]

This video would be better if it were set in chicago, since thats were pulaski day is and what the song was intended for

[bonghit420liberty]

I have decided that I cannot truly be friends with anyone who does not think this is one of the best songs ever. It would be like associating with a sociopath, or someone else missing that ephemeral quality that makes one human.

[zehrinteressant]

oh my god.... thats the stupidest thing ive EVER read.

[tommitchell13]

I really like the song but it's quite cheesy, i could understand why someone wouldn't like it. Oh, and you're an idiot.

[Doodlegirl24]

@bonghit420liberty than we can be friends!! haha naw i dont even know you!! :)

[Gimic300]

Where's Brooklyn?

[zehrinteressant]

new york (Y)

[that90schild]

great song choice - and trip looks nice :)

[Chezfreak94]

Excellent!

I was on the East Coast this summer as well...I went to a submarine museum that was by a navy yard, and outside between the two was a monument one of the names was "Casimer Pulaski" I flipped out- I nearly cried.

[hockeyychick22]

great vid!!

[Jcooler29]

cute video! i love sufjan!!!!!!!! hope you have a great rest of your life! just thought you should get a good compliment. jesus loves you!

[Shloopp]

Excellent song. Excellent video. Not to mention the girl at 1:44 is adorable.

[elliotbosveldiznotme]

i find it funny how you used a song purely about a person dying of cancer, for a video of a pretty fun looking trip

[pinkcowboyhat]

ironic, i know. however, it's kind of fitting as my next trip there kind of sucked because of shit going on back at home.

[mayabelle1107]

@elliotbosveldiznotme of all the things to find funny.... this is one. Oy...

[radiodujour]

pretty idea, but it would have been more appropriate to do this video about a visit to chicago....just sayinn

[Gomo612]

I really like this video. I like the combo of the visuals + the song. It's fine. Also I'm from New York and sometimes forget that it's such a cool trip for others :b

[rqqrt]

Hmm I think that the music goes better with a more rural setting. The disco looks like fun though.

[taylrrina]

this song is so so sad. but i think the video syncs with the music quite well. except for maybe the disco-esque room scenes.

looked like a lot of fun though! and great great song :D

[StaffHead1999]

Thins song always makes me cry...

Love the video too!

[ayellowsong]

i actually love the video and the song together. it fits well together, in my opinion. : )

[Pinkrasta666]

sorry, u dont know me but I love this song so much, it makes me think of my girlfriend and want to cry at the same time (and yes i know how weird that sounds)

[pinkcowboyhat]

I know the music and video clash, someone else told me that when I showed them. I dunno I just put the two together without thinking about the lyrics really. It was a great holiday though.

[IncongruityKilled]

I like it, don't worry. :)

[accidentsinspace]

@pinkcowboyhat I think the music and the video fit perfectly. The so called 'clash' is beautiful. This is not a depressing song despite it's subject matter. It is heartfelt and it raises vibrations. Just like the visuals do. Very nice work! Thankyou for uploading this.

[Sandiooo]

I like it, but I probably would've switched some of the scenes from the beginning into the end.

[Ostendere]

The video and music kind of clash...

[TJBurns531]

sweet song but where was that crazy looking place with the light up floor

[pinkcowboyhat]

the goog museum, some crazy exhibition :)

[Ritsel12727]

Nice!

[gettherise]

what a beatiful song
