He has out done most all music at this point in my perspective. I love this song. Some of his other stuff I love and some other stuff I'm not so sure of... but this song and this poetry is amazing.
I was listening this song way before the video was released and had been emotionally attached to it even though my other half could easily argue with the depth of the song. To be honest I was affraid that that the music video will be usual, mainstream and meaningless. I didnt believe that it can represent any of the feelings that I had after the actual song. As I watched the video I got what I wanted, ambivalence but yet powerful emotions The created world was suprisingly close! Well done
This song always brings deep feelings of love into my heart and stomach that I haven't felt since my husband and I were first dating. This song is powerful. I love it so much.
that part after 2 minutes reminds me so hard of me and my girlfriend because i have such long hair and full beard and she has short hair^^ i always think of her when that song appears in my playlist
first you have this guy suffers a lot and dies...or maybe he is a ghost a mong other ghosts, they seem to work, but he seems to be all in pain and bleeding, then he dies... and then ghosts soul travel trough a tunnel and reaches his soulmate in the water, and in the other "dimension" she revives him... or either makeout whith his corpse, but all this is being witnessed by Himself in dark mode, listening to "everyday im shufllin in a mexican cementery"... the end

OH my! haha. I just watched your video... We hung out at Burningman. You are a lovely photographer with a darling campervan. I'm a friend of Pinchbecks. Thanks for promoting this marvelous artistic masterpiece!
It is really a brilliant video. I really respect a director who integrates the MEANING of the LYRICS into the MEANING of the VIDEO. Check out the lyrics again while watching the video... Once you get it, you'll have such a respect for these magnificent souls.

i love everything about alexander, everything about this video, and every lyrics i fall in love even more. so go eat a bowl of shit for breakfast like you do every morning, sounds like something someone who doesn't like this video would in fact do
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i hate that guys face and the way he moves and everything about him. the music is awful too and i'm just overcome by hared for 'alexander' or whoever the fuck that shithead is
That character is definitely the real Edward Sharpe, a christ figure who keeps falling in love. It's odd to see him do things so dark in comparison to Edward and The Magnetic Zeros.
Alexander and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have really brought a lot of peace into my life. I try and capture the beauty in life everyday, there music is simply beautiful and deep.
@TheDaydreamers101 spot on!!!!!! only two things people can find...god and destruction. you find destruction when you look for happiness,self worth,independence,and power. you find god when you give these things away to someone else,and things multiply...destruction divides. thats why when this world becomes a one world government we get locked into destruction,and the end is near.
I relate this song to what is going on with the protests on wall street right now.
"every lie in this world comes from dividing"
Poor verses the rich. Thats what the wall street protests are saying politics are controlled by big corporations in this country. Many people and myself believe the voice of the people is being drowned out by capitalist agendas to make the rich richer and keep the poor poor.
"all my enemies are turning into my teachers" why do you think 9/11 happened? I am in no
@cats4god I thought that at first too, but I have spoken to Alexander about it (and seen the lyrics on paper as he wrote them) and it is in fact "Every little lie in this world comes from dividing." --Tao Ruspoli
@ruspoli haha dude thats actually pretty cool. and actually i'm sure the lyrics are "dividing", i was just trying to provide another perspective just for thought...
but dude respect in chilling with Alexander, i would definitely love to vibe with him sometime.
but i still think he's "Christ" in this video. or maybe joseph smith hanging with the seagulls..

I humbly think it is because it speaks THE Truth. Here's what I feel is the meaning of the lyrics wrapped in an anecdote, for the spiritually inclined: I've started reading a book a few day ago ,the very next morning I turn on my Ipod and this is the song that plays on shuffle, when I searched for the lyrics, I realised Alex was saying the same thing as the book: Hidden behind the greatest illusion, the illusion of separateness, that creates ( the illus
This is so sick. It's going to be like when I first heard Mazzy Star or Bon Iver many, many years ago and I'm just really get into this band. May they make a thousand albums.
@facetubemyassplug The version of this song that I downloaded via rcrdlbl.com is a collab/remix between Alex and rapper RZA. Its really cool, try and find it.
I love everything about this. Everything!!! I feel so lucky, imma tell the world about this, hope they get a chance to feel the way I feel. Just wait world, you're gonna feel incredible!!!
