"For Real" by Okkervil River

[boysofberlin]

We need a myth

[ZoMommEY]

love this song, only problem is it reminds me of my terrible addiction to self mutilating. When I get stressed i have to never do any of that again. I have nasty scars that make me feel uncomfortable around other mom's, ashamed. But it's an addiction, just listening to the beginning of this song makes me excited in a sick way. i control myself now, but i wonder if other people feel the same way when they hear it, people who have done this kinda thing or still are doing it.

[maxpainnn]

searching this song for months!!!

[304xr2]

@druking01 cool story bro

[cyborgjowls]

This video reminds me of the video for the song "Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect" by The Decemberists.

[DylanWis0r]

What the hell is a song like this doing in Saint's Row?

[norevelation]

@DylanWis0r Because it's so great.

[titawehrli]

* sigh * you would not believe me how I got here ... I fell in love with these ❤

[despeanut86]

cleverbot brought me here

[beginnerwinner]

listening to okkervil river always brings up good memories.

[MrMostComplete]

saints row 2 has the best tracks ever but saint row the third tracks are not so good

[xXdeadpool82Xx]

This Makes Complete Sense!

[ThatsJustDevynn]

Holy crap. Is that Edgar Allan Poe?

[Hiph0pKill3R]

i love this song but dont understand the video whatsoever

[Caligula138]

Its been a while since i heard this one... so great

[podisracer]

fuack i havent heard this in soo long! soO GooD "for real"

[maferiano]

[killemboyz]

bad acid trip man.....

[Phx411]

beautiful song

[DAVIDWHOREMONGER]

This is, hands down, the best song I've ever heard.

[Floydthefuckbag]

Ugh this song is so good it hurts immensely. 

[Wildaquiroz]

Que gran banda Okkervil river, todos buenos temas, este es uno de los especiales para mi.

[GrubbyTheBear]

I'm sorry to say that Saint's Row 2 brought me here...

[MrEgomaniac]

@GrubbyTheBear Brought me here too, dude. But it's a really good song so don't be ashamed.

[GrubbyTheBear]

@MrEgomaniac I had never said that I was ashamed, heheh. Saints Row 2 is just such a bad game (in my opinion), and this awesome song doesn't belong in a game like that.

[jtlvaldez]

240p what is this somalia?

[romulus2]

@jtlvaldez actually not a bad joke but somalia is a very very bad option and not funny at all. take canada, north korea or soviet union.

[gavin16668]

This could be in a million tv show soundtracks, i'm glad it isn't

[maddymud]

@gavin16668 -- selfish?

[kaykieslice]

songs amazing

[FatticusMinch]

i can't imagine a more inappropriate start to this clip than that goddam ad about profile pimping or something...

[Killinemdead1]

Some nights I thirst for real blood, for real knives, for real cries. And then the flash of steel from real guns in real life really fills my mind.

[RadicalBros]

LIMBO soundtrack

[ochkofire]

saints row 2 is fucking best soundtracks ewer bullshit let's rock

[Shn000dle]

Really really unreal.

[PhilthyGameplays]

Okkervil River grows on your so much..

[EvilN00ber]

awww the story's soo sweet & the animations were soo great, love mvs like this!!

[iReviewthemall]

6 people are just not real.

[iReviewthemall]

This clip is cool even in 240p

[irishmacalicious]

Um... This is so awesome. Did you make this? This is so awesome. I think my hair is bleeding. This is so awesome.

[RetsaMevaD]

Coolio! 5/5

[madnessgodman]

6 People can't take reality.

[madnessgodman]

I can die happily now.

[slowcheetagirl]

this song is amazing.. i listen to it when driving at night. so perfect

[skcorkcaj]

that dad is a dick

[sweetymoze]

that monster has a BIG mouth, jees creeps me out

[CymruAmByth2011]

So the people in this video... I thought they were different (I thought the one in the nightgown was a girl) but then I noticed that they all have a mole on the same place on their faces... Is it just one person at different ages? Or what? Oh and I absolutely love this song!!!!!!

[ashkon52]

I think this is the best song he has ever written. It is quite simply one of the best pieces of songwriting in the last 10 years. Graphic, vulnerable, brutally honest lyrics that border on insanity yet seem so relatable.. "I need to know your not lying.. cause I want to see you tried...Cause theres nothing quite like the blinding light curtains cast aside". Is this really me. As if with every chord he violently strums, a knife is swung and the truth for all to bear. Yes I am a normal person

[katrina5314]

Goosebumbs at 3:20... every time I listen. Great song.

[umovelikehoney2]

@katrina5314 you're not the only one

[mrOly88]

@katrina5314 you bet! so real !

[caineybailey7]

Can someone explain what the song actually means?

[ashkon52]

@caineybailey7 Its about wanting to feel real. He begins with an unshakable desire to feel alive "Some nights I thirst for real blood.. it really fills my mind". He taunts others "really want to see what matters most to me... take a short drive". He goes on to describe these thoughts with an almost vibrant enthusiasm and then it climaxes with him embracing this as he bears himself to everyone "nothing quite like the blinding lights.. curtains cast aside". You cant hide caineybailey7

[RobertYoung33]

Black Sheep Boy is up there with The Wall as an amazing cathartic work.

[RobertYoung33]

Black Sheep Boy is among the best cathartic works of all time.

[javajavahorse]

Hello, i just got my heart broken and i hate life. This song blasting.

[cdub4lovesmusic]

that was ana amzing song but im confused about what just happened

[wersell23]

Real music from real instruments, very nice, speaks a thousand words as always :-)

[ArielNoelle]

Real music with real sound. ^_^

[iuguolovos]

the ting tings are gonna fuck over bob dylans music

[6eeyore9]

OK..his youth is shadowy, he creates a demon out of himself, hates his mother yet sees her as the fountain of "youth" (not agelessness, more way back when things were good as a child) yet allows forgiveness for her yet not himself?

[MusicDefinesAll]

@6eeyore9 nice.

[untomatchi]

this is so fuckin tormenting but it's what my soul needs. fuck yeah, okkervil!

[karliball]

Of all my favourites this is my very favourite.  F**king exquisite.

[MrJoshy100]

[zomfgitsmeh]

[nelsonbrito83]

[MrSquelcher]

fuckn love okkerville river, the animation makes me think of fall out 3

[TheIToldYouSo]

This CD is amazing and the band is impossible to ignore...  Okkervil River is such an influence on wanna-be songwriters like myself. How could they ever top this? Thoughtful, imaginative, and heartfelt...

[ZooYorker110]

My best friends uncle is base player 4 these guys

[summersonify]

@ZooYorker110 You can't even spell 'bass'.

[lunoboy]

[flater80]

[rostraman]

[skcorkcaj]

[insekticide]

Saddest song I've ever heard.

[kachimint]

This scares the shit out of me. I'm glad that girl saved that boy from the psychological mind fuck his father put him though...

[Liberalitass]

@kachimint

Yes me to

[6eeyore9]

@kachimint that isn't his father it's himself

[6eeyore9]

@6eeyore9 and the girl isn't just a girl, it's his mother... do you not see the imagery?

[sisk22]

@kachimint agree 100%

[recycleyouable]

Really lovely song, and original video!

[BennM9]

Very nice song!

[Snight101]

Yo hi

[Seymouree]

I love the Black Sheep Boy album. It's very Beautiful and pure.

[6eeyore9]

@Seymouree I love it too, but it's engineered really poorly, the sound levels are all jacked up.

[Wolfenstein2021]

@6eeyore9 not really the songs perfect to me :D
