nice looking film.... not really much of a clever concept; but well done, i guess. I think the premise is a takeoff of the album cover; which was a snapshot from a wedding the band played at. Great song, too.nu_shuz, 11. September 2007, 14:00
i think this is absolutely beautiful. sometimes a clever concept just isn't necessary, and this has got such a great tone to it. great work banner.mva, 12. September 2007, 07:42
very cinematic, lovely.almotasim, 12. September 2007, 14:03
I couldn't agree more: fuck the concept bullshit. Beautiful video and i love the misterious presence of the unfaced red shoes woman that comes to rock the ambience. The best thing i've seen this year.quixoticnyc, 12. September 2007, 19:10
Add me to the fuck the concept group :) Looks gorgeous. Sometimes a mood is more than enough. Not to mention there is a concept its just not over the top, overt or in your face which is exactly what I enjoyed about this one. Great cinematography.jdub, 19. September 2007, 22:05
Really enjoyed that. Moving even. A good compliment to a great song. It's so valuable when a video represents a song well. When a band creates a song and visuals are put to it, they can become synonymous...and sometimes that's a horrible thing, here it's perfect.
