[Ben2DJammin]

oh and my Dr Pyser video.

[YoGemmy]

such a beautiful song. thanks for sharing.

[guitarblazer4]

I remember the first time I saw this, it was biorhythm and Anthony Kiedis was talking about Hillel Slovak's death Im glad I finally found it.

[SchmuckoftheIrish]

gives me chills

[walkerwarbler]

I once drank a little too much rum listening to this song and became a sobbing mass of blubbering tears sitting at the picnic table. Not pretty on a 250lb big man. My wife came out and was like" WTF? We got friends coming over in ten minutes! Pull yourself together man!" I'm like "ahem! I, (whimper), I, I'm alright" ..blowing my nose and rubbing my eyes as I came back to reality... We both remember this as an absolutely hilarious moment.

[ladysmith79]

@walkerwarbler ahhh, bless you! thats just made me laugth so much! 

[tommy5586]

@walkerwarbler I could see that happening to my 240 ass to. I don't cry, but when I do it's like you did! and this song could do it.

[walkerwarbler]

@tommy5586 It's a beautifully sad song and as a musician, sometimes this stuff really touches me.. in this case I was just a tad lit, and it overtook my sorry ass...All the best,

[ElphieandMaureen]

this song makes me cry every time.

[rb30eeee]

i hope this doesnt describe me right now

[notanomad]

cool job dude

[neilbee]

beautifull.

[takaya305]

本当にいい曲です。

[Mosez3000]

Awesome Vid. Awesome song. Thanks man

[mybrainhumor]

you took a pretty literal approach to this video

[poplarparkfilms]

I just shot a bunch of stuff and put it together for fun one afternoon

[djspyd2000]

@mybrainhumor LOL so funny

[ChrisFolds]

what did Maxior83 say?? i don't like how you can't read negative comments anymore.

[YUHaiwing]

friggin nazis

[KachiOya]

Inoright? I love just super explosion flaming on dumbasses stupid enough to post that crap.

[neffer5]

je l'aime, c'est bon

[poplarparkfilms]

MERCI !

[ElphieandMaureen]

by the way, where you live is absolutely beautiful.

[poplarparkfilms]

@ElphieandMaureen Oh thanks! Kispiox Valley, British Columbia, Canada !

[Blovinjack]

Maxior83 is an idiot.....

[poplarparkfilms]

Agreed!

[ailefofelia]

nice vid! keep it up man...

[Maxior83]

Ooooh! "I just wanna get a part in a serious music clip! I wanna be a big big star..." - i still wonder why people do the clips being a main angle of them... Do something serious for that. Nice fence though. ;) 'bout editing skills - not bad.

[poplarparkfilms]

This video was not about me being a star you stupid fuck. You barely even make sense, learn some proper English...

[Maxior83]

whatever.

[poplarparkfilms]

hahahaaaaa

[lovesdanecook]

i've always wondered how to film something in a mirror without the camera being shown in the mirror....can't figure it out. is it in the editing? XD

great video. great song.

[poplarparkfilms]

no its just the angle of the camera

[fntsywlkr]

Great job man. Anyone can sit back and critique. The number of critics outweigh the number of artists. But no one errected a statue to a critic. keep it up!

[death1367]

wow could you take the song any more literally... i get it is your first time so you get a pass, and i like the ideas.. but i dont need to see a clock telling me it is late, then you walking up, and then LITERALLY walking barefoot down the road, but great great song... and i wish you nothing but the best in the future... keep it up man!!!

[poplarparkfilms]

Well yeah, I made this like 3 years ago. It wasn't supposed to be the actual music video, I was mainly testing out my new editing program.

thanks for the comments though

jd

[JenerallyxSpeaking]

[simon345978]

[rtkiiiprod]

Great song and a great video...i think the fade ins of the guy got old after awhlie...but some really good shots!!!! and went along well with the lyrics...i hope to see more from you...especially if its ben folds.

[robmillist]

Beautiful

[basiaking]

my favirot song by him love his music

[veggienuggets27]

this song always gives me chills

[danagirl23]

very original! Really like it

[anniewaits]

that was great!!! I love it!!!

[HalfpennyCat]

it parallels the song well but i think it could have given more mystery and wonder like the song. yes it is first person as song but it is very metaphoric which could play more of role in the video.

great work... i really enjoy it all criticisms are reached as constructive i hope,

cheers

[pinkgirldee]

good video.

but not the setting I imagined it'd be in.

[danielc0307]

A little too full of cliche's.

[ginganz13]

I can't cry - no shot of a man with 'dry eye'

I can't see - no shot of a blind man

Oh go what have I done? - no shot of the apellant

I cant feel a thing at all - no shot of a teraplegic

You see where this is going...............

Golden rule of flim-making, never duplicate visual & auditory metaphor.

Very Beautiful scenery though!

[ericaanderica]

i love it!

ben folds is amazing.

[carbonpictures]

good. canada? AK? i was hoping someone made a vid for this.

[poplarparkfilms]

Canada. Hazelton, British Columbia.

[HyenaStargazer]

Guess what....YOU WIN!

[rogeralcantara]

[damepoXXX]

I love this song.

\(^o^)/

[rob4love]

great ben folds song. interesting vid throughout. i have the cd but haven't put it on in a while. you made me hit the re-play a couple of times. well done.

[abigailjazz]

woahhhhh, dude. Im impressed! I just wanted to hear one of the greatest songs ever written---may even surpass the beatles---and you did a nice vid. Definitely go to school for this talent, speilberg...lol

[xShigurex]

Wow! Really good! O_O; It sinks so well! FINALLY! A music video that makes sense! Good job.

[poplarparkfilms]

woooooooooooooooooooo haha thanks.

[Whatshername62188]

This is really good. Simple yet still it speaks volumes. And you're hot.

[poplarparkfilms]

Thanks a lot, I filmed all of this at my house. Most of the shots are like 30 meters away from my house haha. some are in the back yard and yeah. haha.

[fishslap911]

I really enjoyed this; it fits the soul of the song very well. Nice cuts and pacing (and unless you went far to film this, you live in a very beautiful place.) I especially enjoyed your interpretation of "I poured my heart out"--creative blending. Keep up the good work! =)
