Josh Ritter "Lillian, Egypt"

I fucking love this video. haha

well i live in las vegas where everybody listens to crap music, but i still can't believe i haven't heard of him until recently, i mean nobody can write songs like this anymore

I just saw him on PBS last night and couldn't beleive I hadn't heard of him before either. Great...kind of like Dylan. The songs actually have decent words and meaning.

i think they go well together but each his own

i met my gf in a high school event her names lillian and in this event i was known as egypt because it was the country i was representing... i love her... shes my soulmate

it's odd... i agree... but the video is unique and seemingly well done... something about it just doesn't click with the song... it's unfortunate but i'd kind of just like to see it really simplified... see Josh singing and playing inter-cut with this video... less of the dragging story and more of josh singing... i think that's my remedy...

doesnt click with the song, its exactly what hes singing about. u cant get more literal than that. the video has a story cuz the song is a story

Most songs are stories... that doesn't mean the video has to be EXACTLY what the lyrics are saying... that's amateur... i'm not saying this is amateur, i just think it could have been better if it weren't dragging... my solution for the dragging would be seeing Josh singing and less of the story... (is it okay for people to be singing in music videos or should all videos be an exact interpretation of the lyrics?)...

I know you're vote is for literal translations of lyrics into a video... boring

You know his genre is Folk/Rock right?

i don;t disagree. all i know is i heard the song LONG before i saw this, and as far as i'm concerned, my IMAGINATION of what this story looked like was better.

in my opinion, that sentiment is a credit to the SONGWRITER, who is painting a scene to be interpreted through one's ears, and pictured in one's mind.
