José González - 'Down the Line'

[aimspader]

I love this song. It's stuck in my head like that pig man's nose is, now, thanks to this video! Actually, it's a very creative video, and the song is just haunting.

[katiegaleyes]

I would love to see what Gonzalez thinks of my son and musician, Macrodot's rendition/remake of this song. See gravitasrecordings and its article on "What Makes a Creative".

[MrRichdo]

[thekickmeister]

jose gonzalez brought me here

[rubbindubbin4life]

I remember when i saw this on mtvs "subterainian"...for the first time...

[milezfan1]

does anyone know why on The Last Song soundtrack it says "Down the Line" - Various Artist .... instead of his name?

[I8RICKROLLERS]

4 people jizzed from the pigman

[ebonylovesshortstack]

this is still my favourite jose gonzalez song.

its sad, but so beautiful<3

[FrankHammond1906]

exactly what I needed!

[conradlee65]

This video makes me sad

[catasliry]

haha i know him already from red dead redemtion (soundtracks) : "far away" <--- listen to it,awesome too^^

[conradlee65]

@catasliry Thats how I found out about him.

[Qango1]

José González is cool so is his band - Junip all good :)

[bigrig396]

sad , lonely pigman

[wmpralle]

passion for harmony

[Ains94]

I see problems down the line... I know I'm right.

[nacolle08]

My three year old thinks the pig man is "creepy," but I love Jose!!

[JacksInn]

cant stop clicking on replay.

[robloxREAL]

The sign at 1:42 is in another language.

[Innocence627]

This song really touched me I showed this song to my other friends and it has also touched them as well it is one of the best songs I had ever heard thank you Jose

[maceo2]

Just discovered Jose' today. He's awesome.

[rebelflewr]

thumbs up if u heard this in the last song

[pe4cefrog]

a sliver of beauty in a sea of madness

[therealKINDLE]

Why is this so Loud? Oh Yes that's right.. The Sound Engineer has compressed it into a little Brick wall of Distortion. The Loudness War. Well I'm sorry, but I REFUSE to listen to this. I want the Volume Control.

[silversydd]

@therealKINDLE yawn

[therealKINDLE]

@silversydd ..I know I know.. The Music Critiques are right when they describe how Fatiguing it feels listening to Tracks that have about as many Dynamics to them as "Static", as Bob Dylan Calls it. Think what the Artist must go through having there Music Destroyed just to Stand out on an iPod. It's a Good job some of us actually Give a Shit about Music, & don't just sit there; willing Mocking the 1 person who CARES ay? Fucking Cunt. 

[silversydd]

@therealKINDLE fuck me mate, can you pop round when i canny sleep and chat to me a while? ya boring cunt

[silversydd]

@therealKINDLE just chill and enjoy it mate, you do have a volume control..........take deep breaths, i find Jose calming and warming, kinda emotional in bits, dosnt really make me aggressive? Peace

[hahayoucunt]

@silversydd I HEAR YA

[therealKINDLE]

@silversydd You really haven't thought outside the box have you? It doesn't matter if I have the Volume Control. Or even a Scottish Volume Control! It will always sound loud, dead, & without Dynamics. Look up the Loudness War.. If you give a Shit about Music. The Quiet Sections have been increased in Volume in the Mastering Stage, So it Always Sounds at Full Level. YOU May think that is Relaxing, but I WANT to hear the Quieter Sections at their Original Volume. It's called "Dynamics" pal! Yes?

[silversydd]

@therealKINDLE k pal. you win. peace

[therealKINDLE]

@silversydd LMFAO! M8, if Only you were the Head of Sony Records! I'd Cry with Relief!

[silversydd]

@therealKINDLE i still think that you need to not be so tense though! i understand your argument, i just canny let me self get all worked up? i assume your perhaps a sound engineer of some sort?

[therealKINDLE]

@silversydd lol! Yes, I am passionate in everything I do I will admit that!! I shan't Bore you with the details of my life pal!

[silversydd]

@therealKINDLE fair play, heres to passion! peace

[nijinskyshighjump]

@therealKINDLE hey, can you please tell us more about this??

[therealKINDLE]

@nijinskyshighjump Qué quieres decir? Le dará más de qué?

[zlopy]

This video is so pure and real, really a great song but the video is just so...darn good

[peteragain]

This song is about Helter Skelter, ....watch them little piggies...get the idea?

[moonbatteries]

@HerbalNinja024 I was the one who posted it on stumbleupon xD

[noidea63]

I'm glad he didn't let the darkness eat him up.

[glolib6]

i love this song but it makes me sick because it brings back bad memories

[5674jt]

Pigman is pretty harsh.it seems like he is lonely becuase no one wants to talk to him or be his friend, because he has a pig like snout and ears

[moonbatteries]

@5674jt manhog*

[redwingduck2]

3 dislikes says its all great stuff

[listenthinkspeak]

Pig-man!!!

[4vicky1]

This video is made in sweden, were I live:)

[dominitta]

[erinn87]

love the video .... it's just so great :)

[drdrummerdude]

a pig head represents the devil, so..

[mercurydylan89]

such a great video!

[heartsthatstrangle]

what is the deal with the pigman in these videos?

[Flobbarus]

@heartsthatstrangle the videos are adaspted from the manhog comic

[TheGGTProductions]

amazing

[MaximumProductionz]

Little kiddies should not watch this...it's art :)

[2492marshall]

what a downer!!!

[KobeBryant101]

video kinda strange

song kinda good...

[diddlybop]

I don't understand the video, did the pigman set some people in a car on fire and now he is running away?

or is it random scenes with a pigman?

i love you jose gonzalez :)

[CoryRHarms]

@diddlybop im not to sure as well but i think he lost someone close to him ( him writing Ella on the window) and misses her. Looks like hes kinda lost not knowing what to do.in anger he burns his car while jose sings dont let the darkness eat you up. i like it

[diddlybop]

@CoryRHarms

it's funny, it seems so obvious now that you've said it, and really kind of tender, but it was harder to get the message from just watching the vid.

thanks : )

[inutilRIARIARIA]

Thumbs up if you dont know what this weird pig man means

[Mark7595]

red dead redemption brought me here:)

[vinnysayshey713]

@Mark7595 good taste in music brought me here.

[DerApologet]

[apedestrian2]

@DerApologet Im pretty sure this is the original.idk if you were implying that he doesn't write real music or not.

[Jessie3r3]

oh right i kinda get it now yea:)!

[Surfman349]

man Jose Gonzales really makes you think about life and how well we have it

good song

peace!

[steak583]

easy for him to say and sing about, hes got money a career, and probly people who love him. go-on pig man, go out with a bang, no-one knows wots waitin for us after, 50-50 chance its gonna be better! x

[DFTSxDFTS]

Actually "ella" means "she" in spanish. The video and the pigman are a representation of how ugly and alone he feels when he's depressed. And like he always feels like he's hiding from something.

[chancholoa]

@DFTSxDFTS and in italian haha

[purplemuffinsss]

@MrNewpants Lol they could of been thinking "bella" but I'm pretty sure "ella" does mean "she" in Spanish...

[marujazzz]

@MrNewpants Bella is also beautiful in spanish ( i am spanish XD)

[TobieMontana]

@DFTSxDFTS well the movie i taking place in sweden and "ella" is also a shorter name for elinor, might be that aswell :P

[TheKaim5]

@DFTSxDFTS i just asksed myself what's the sense of the video i think u got it. Thank you very much !

[knuckles15961]

Ella = "her" In spanish.

[bigsexytrucker]

Epic win for my ears

[MSIXVI06]

Funny, two people who've heard this are deaf. 218 know what sounds fantastic.

[Aesan13]

I love it! It's talking about people which have no idea- how to live. They are confined to the world- they live in they own, litlle world, with beer and smoke. They are like PIG.

[JayStray0586]

my god...jose is just pure emotion to me.

[shitchops]

this song reminds me of a girl who hated me to death all because i didnt hook up with her :( + she was a nasty bitch anyway

[SoNiCiNf]

NEVER

[keilayourkiller]

the pig man scares me.

[Jessie3r3]

this song is amazing not too sure what the story is with the pig man anyone explain :)?xxx

[apedestrian2]

@Jessie3r3 i really don't know but i guess Jose wanted everyone to think about it themselves instead of saying why there is a pig man. but if i had to guess id say that the pig man lost something near to him (probably a wife "ella") and basically now is living a life of a recluse or outcast ... but idk its anyones guess

[Longboardersrule12]

Damn he has a really bad case of swine flu!

[RJhasFLOW]

@Longboardersrule12 i c wat u did thar!

[rog2rocker]

beautiful, jose is the best....

[ashp46]

Jose is the next best thing since Elliot Smith.

Bags of talent

[TheAnimeFreak114]

He's one of a kind, in an absolutely good way ;D

[OnkelMickwald]

Yay for classical guitar!:D

[jorgekluney]

Situational ethics?

Jose, you're a disturbed boy.

[14ela14]

a beautiful song for Rainy days .. the content is good too.. very thoughtfull..

[MegaUnderachiever]

crackling any1?

[choosicles]

@MegaUnderachiever yes please any chance of apple sauce??

[gussenica]

dont let the darkness eat u up

[choosicles]

@gussenica good statement.

[VinceDiggaNeRd]

@gussenica yeah, eat the darkness

[ziarenkoRyzu]

uwielbiam to..sluchaja tego zamyckamy sie w swoim jednoosobowym swiecie na dwa serca:)

[elektrykbestia]

@ziarenkoRyzu Racja :-)

[zlosliwcze]

@ziarenkoRyzu ładnie napisane. ;) Jose to geniusz

[flugtager]

that's what somone with the youtube tag A soul divided would say. I'm rich bitch.

[Wuzupshamu]

The pig, or manhog, is a character in Jim Woodring's extremely disturbing comics. I don't really get it, but all of his stuff is freaking screwy. You can look it up, but it'll give you nightmares. I think the artist himself suffers from hallucinations... Either way, they are nightmarish. If anyone can explain further, let me know!

[noelyire]

pigs dont smoke dave

:)

[KeithUnderneath]

What's the deal with the pig-man character in all of Gonzalezs videos? Whats the significance.

Anyone?

[mikulasvselicha]

It is a symbol of the whole album... look at the art work of this cd... there is this pig element hidden too... It is some kind of metaphor

[AsoulDivided]

Its probably supposed to be us. Humans are no better than pigs. We are polluting and destroying the earth, eating and smoking ourselves to death. Its so obvious and true.

[nikezooms]

nope

[AsoulDivided]

Oh...I guess I was wrong.

[noelyire]

@AsoulDivided pigs dont smoke lol

[AsoulDivided]

Go to a McDonald's Drive through, and look at the morbidly obese people chain smoking Marlboro cigarettes with their babies in the back seat. No they aren't really pigs, but they might as well be.  Fat, stupid and disgusting. Fit for the slaughter.

[KevinKlovesya]

i'm not sure but i think that the pig represents how lonely and ugly you feel in depression, the lyrics seem ike something bad happened to the pig and he's tryng to forget instead of dealing with it

[Gr1Ng00]

ella

[liedjelisette]

I like the song better than the video... the video doenst really tell what the song does. thats to bad... but I like the song anyway!

[caseman86]

great track,

but... i'm sad -.- that sux

peace to u all

[IchmagMichgern]

this is amazing, IAN has to cover it!!!

[mikulasvselicha]

What Ian? Dont you find it good enough already?

[wererwirklichwar]

simply brilliantly

[troysfreakinawesome]

wow this is deep this could make even the "toughest" feel emotion

[egrodes]

ELLA means "she" in Spanish

[Rosannetjj]

i feel not good to

[clevername333]

Ohh man, I am crying right now. I just made the same mistake twice. The darkness is pulling me down. I am falling apart. Why did I stay with her....... why did I do this? I made the same mistake.... I dont know what to do or feel. I am horrible.

[RonaldsonTippet]

Just goes to show, even Sus scrofa domesticus have trouble in life........beautiful song...

[RonaldsonTippet]

Beautiful........

[havos123]

great song but can someone tell me whats with the pig man

[CatooisKOEL]

[Knas2k]

Do you know how 'Ella' is? It's written on the window at 01:19.

I do..

[Ian4basse]

[Knas2k]

[patsoder1]
