[khuntress]

Matt Kressling, you are a genius. I'm proud to know you. Someday....

[T3chn01d]

why this video doesnt get 1 Million views??? i love it

[LennyBound]

I've easily listened to this song 50 times in the last week. It's so good it's not even funny.

Criminally under-viewed.

[kresling]

@LennyBound Thanks a lot, LennyBound. I take your point, but I don't know... if 73,000 people listened to me play this in my living room, I'd be pretty excited.

[mustafagky]

This is one of my favorite songs actually (and a great video to boot). Love your stuff!

[farmgurl1313]

this is so amazing. i watched it in my math class the other day and it was breathtaking. i noticed some of my friends parents in there, which was really neat to see. i even saw my grandpa who use to work there. this is honestly the most amazing thing i have ever seen.

-Fortuna high, 2013

[donaldvf72]

Great song. Absolutely amazing video artwork. Captivating, relevant, professional and what else can I say.

[SelfMed]

matt, this is a damn good song. great video notwithstanding. really dig the music, the video just adds to it. you have talent, son.

[n00bie51]

Matt Kresling, ukuleleist, traveler, artist, video editor extraordinaire!

[bcarter3]

Beautiful video, glorious song!

[Floodedwithblood]

I go to FUHS right now. This is awesome!

[johndrew25]

Wow! Matt. Your stuff just moves me to tears. I'll do what I can to promote this "new" video on Twitter and Facebook.

[videomanico13]

This is like my favorite video..Ive watched it more than 10 times in 1 week..lol..Awsome job.

[oshla4lif]

my dad went to school with you

[estimatedeyes]

@oshla4lif LOL!!!

[WillaPhillips]

Love this. I listen to this several times a week. Thanks for the free album download. I like it very much and this is my favorite song from it. Keep making music. You're very talented.

[bporembski1]

Matt- This is AWESOME. You are VERY talented So funny so see myself and so many of my friends. Brooke - Class of 90

[lawnkhan]

go Wildcats!!!

[frolfordie1987]

i graduated from FUHS only 4 years ago but after watching this video it feels like much longer than 4 years. thx so much for this video, it has brought back so many memories

[rpmartino]

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen, both musically and visually. Great job!

[dahack31]

Matt. You're a genius.

[wktimpco]

This is a touching tribute to youth. The comment on Rohner Park's once being a field is like nostalgia within nostalgia. The snippets of memory when you were young. A vague recollection of remembering something, the wanting to return to those moments, and knowing without quite remembering that your mind was once a fertile field of creativity, possibility, especially when you were even younger.

[rd1084]

Well said! Yes, what happened to those days where the future was before us and the possibilities were endless.....I guess life hits us in the face with reality. Oh to be young and naive again. I can't say enough how much I like this video.

[freedumb2003]

Great work -- get rid of the curse words in the opening segment. They unnecessarily detract from the overall artistry.

[kresling]

Thanks, but curse words are an intrinsic part of yearbook inscriptions. I took out more than I left in, believe me.

[carolkresling]

Everyone's yearbook, no matter how ancient, contains 'curse words'. How can reality be a distraction?

[kresling]

Mom, before you back me up, you need to change your ID.

[jkkrs]

@kresling lol

[freedumb2003]

Mine don't.

I only note it because parents who care will keep it away from their younger kids.

And it is a really too nice piece to be kept away.

[ddelpercio]

Very well done!

5 stars

[bibchr]

Brilliant conception, visually stunning, very melancholy. Really sorry about the flashing obscenities, would have liked to post it at my blog.

[pneumatic00]

Superb piece of work, very clever and artfully done! 5 stars!

[SusanAcuff]

Beautiful, Matt.  Masterfully executed. YouTube needs a 6th star for rating work like this.

[aviramord]

Loved the song, loved the clip.

I dont understand why this video isnt more popular then it is.

[matthewinthesun]

Amazing. Inspiring. Such a loving tribute to those horrible, horribly painful years...maybe they meant something. Thank you.

[aviramord]

loved it

[jimmya22]

Matt! Nice work! Hope you are well. Jimmy "91

[natecullnz]

Love this! I was high school class of '88... takes me back.

[rd1084]

Nicely done. Wow takes me back to 1989 when I was 17 myself. The yearbook photos look like mine. Your best line, "And maybe you remember how the adults then sung a bittersweet song with the same words that I'm singing now..." Funny how things come full cirlce. Great job!

[IdahoLeLe]

Wow, the Seventeen video is very unique, quite cool, and extra clever. Good job.

[ArmyOfCuteness]

This is so beautifully done, in every way. (It also really reminds me of my yearbooks... oh, that hair.)

Thank you so much for sharing your art here. :)

[lukuleles]

really neat vid idea.

[MrPhilph]

Great vid, you are on the pulse dude.

[camaro1992]

AMAZING EDITING!

[andrewlankes]

Matt, that was amazing. I love the swings in the dark and crossing the finish line.

[hansenca1]

Matt - I teach yearbook at a large high school and I loved sharing this with my students. Also, I was seventeen in the late 80's and this really took me back! I love it and have been passing it on to everyone I know as my new favorite video. Keep making videos.

[pixystyk]

I loved it!

[lamaka]

awesome MV

[SexCyberGuideCom]

nice video

[grwagz]

Matt that's amazing, really. Loved it and it really hit me as I find myself thinking back to that time these days too.

Young me was so clueless!

[frshvr6]

Nicely done. Definitely deserves more attention than it is getting.

[stanfordgibson]

Gorgeous...song and video.

[mke990]

awsome song....reminds me of my high school years

[playgroundpc]

Bravo, Mr. Kresling. Did you really do all the polygonal lasso-ing and after effects cam moves and masking? That's a ton of work! Well done, well done. Thanks for sticking with it!

[Graflander]

very cool

[StrongHeartLives]

Wow! really well made video!!! I don't do much video work, but is this done in After Effects?

[kresling]

Yes, I used After Effects to make it appear as if I can play the accordion.

[Prisesdsky]

wow! Well done dude! Say, do you have the phone numbers of some of those cute gals? I wanna get in touch with a couple of them. Pm me the phone directory please? Thanks so much.

[johnfeith]

wow. excellent. so much detail. i gotta get me a green screen.

[alonis10]

unreal.

[teezo]

wow. that was incredibly interesting and well done. nice one, matt.

[JuliantheJuggler]

Excellent!

[VanRoble]

Glad you got releases from all the people pictured

[VanRoble]

Good thing that didn't take you too long to make

[cranie4]

Another great one Matt. Hopefully we'll get to actually do a tune together soon now that the video is completed.

I think this one will speak to a lot of people who are now out of school more than 15 years. Definitely a bit depressing.

[gregorlangbehn]

great video and song. are you directing videos for major label bands yet? If not, I know why. MTV is scared of you.

[SilencerLogic]

Amazing video. You just don't see them made like this today.

I'm glad you made the album available to everyone. I've been listening to it for months now!

[faffytunes]

Nice song great video

[rubyscannon]

Best video ever! Amazing.

[jaminjay55]

Amazing, everytime i watch your videos it makes me want to go edit anything!

[Adventagious]

Marvellous, and wonderfully put together as always. You must put a huge amount of work into these.
