[Birdsnest101]

Anyone know where you can get this song? Album? Download? All I can find is the crappy Positive Rage version. TIA

I cannot get over how much i love this song

[WideOpenTuna]

What album is this off??

[StudioScarecrow]

@bikemanezc Sapphire, I think. This song is set after the events of the Stay Positive album where Sapphire foresaw murder in "Both Crosses" (she's also the psychic girlfriend that appeared in "Chips Ahoy") and I think that freaked out the narrator and he's trying to stay away from her for a bit. Holly, Charlemagne, and Gideon are all involved with this somehow but it's kind of confusing and I'm not sure exactly what their connection is.

[bikemanezc]

Is he singing about Holly or Sapphire?

[jwashing100]

The Hold Steady are my favorite band in the world. (I even have a stay positive tat) But I have never heard them play this song live! Anyway great video!!!

[pettige88]

Impressive! I love the colors, the energy and the aggressiveness You obviously have a talent for this. :)

@Stephanobentos Wow, one of the best fan made music videos I've seen in a while, well done! It's so great how their lyrics are so plainly narrative, creating a story in your head, with visuals often not unlike this, you've captured a little part of that. One of my other favourite things about them is not just the music and lyrics but how dedicated the fans are... you've demonstrated that - keep up the good work

Gaaaaaaaaay

[stephanobentos]

I've removed all the annoying annotations. I used CoralDraw 9 for the graphics and iMovie 3 for the edit. I know there's way better software out there. But I'm cheap.

[TheFlite29]

@stephanobentos Mang!! I liked those annotations!! They were informative, not annoying!!

[TheFlite29]

@stephanobentos I liked the annotations. They were informative!!

[Fentoman]

Wow!

One of my favourite music videos! And its a fan vid amazing.. What program did you make it with?

[shingaki777]

St.Paul. LOL. :)

[Ryyy4n]

This is so much better with annotations off. That being said, wonderful vid!

[18skatevalo]

great video the litte comments in the vid piss me off though

[balthazord]

My only criticism, and it's a small one, is that it's sort of hard to read the letters on the "Charlemagne don't seem the same" line. Otherwise, great work! Awesome video for an awesome song.

[AlmostKilledUs]

This has gotta be one of my favorite music videos. I love the style, I love the song, and I love The Hold Steady.

[moloch5642]

This is possibly the best Hold Steady video I've seen, official or otherwise =]

[Joekickass3000]

Way to excellent video. And awesome song I haven't ever heard this one

[djh0267]

[lcdxhavok]

[bsf95]

This is really well done. Nice work!

[takedownroddy]

Great video - thanks for sharing :)

[pistonpackinmonique]

I love this band and this song. Fantastic vid, very creative!

[jonnyr00]

if you spelt adderall correctly (it has two ds) you'd get the hits you deserve for this video.

[stephanobentos]

@jonnyr00

You're totally right. Thanks Jonny.

[ladicius]

Great stuff - love your little pop-up comments.

Like the fact your vid is as 'busy' as the song, hundred different things going on.

5 Stars.

[Melicoptersradical]

This is rad.

Great song.

Amazing band!

[Niiauyr]

Pretty damned good chappy.

[kmoneyham]

Excellent!

[xMrVincentVegax]

this is excellent. thumbs up!

[dodatani]

thanks for this, this is so great!

[stephanobentos]

Hey glad you like it.

[alexhere2005]

Absolutely fantastic film. A big thank you from a British fan of the band. My fave track from 'Stay Positive'.

[stephanobentos]

From one Brit to another, thanks Mate. THS are over here in a month. I'll be at the Roundhouse to see 'em on the 17th.

[Frozensquirrel]

Awesome!!!

The only bad thing about it is the text-singing choreographing.

Bands should be paying you to make these!

[stephanobentos]

Yeah half of that is the encoding and half of it was out in the original edit.

[Frozensquirrel]

Don't get me wrong, though.

This is f**king incredible.

[stephanobentos]

Thanks. I kinda let the mismatches ride as the thought of editing this again was just too much. Glad you like it.

[stephanobentos]

Petteroes' You're the first one to spot that.

[petteroesbikkja]

Love it when the Separation Sunday-image appears.

[MykeFahrenheit]

You rock, SteveDave
