John, years from now you'll be on stage at Carnegie Hall and get to hear the Mountain Goats perform this song, all because of this project
Chills!
Reading this years later makes me so proud of them and us T u T
Has anyone ever given the Yeti (the presumed videographer here) credit for filming like, a lot of this show?
+Samantha Lyren John is really good about giving the Yeti credit for camerawork in later episodes. Though I think limiting her appearance, even in credits, in the videos was very intentional in early episodes from the way they talk about it. By around 2012 or so that starts to break down and by 2015 she started her own TH-cam channel.
Terence Clark What's the name of her channel?
+Jackson Destefano, it's theartassignment . Can't remember when it started, but it's been around for a while. It's a PBS collab like some of the Crash Course vids.
During this rewatch, I've noticed how many of these early videos are made possible by the yeti
This makes me think of the part at the end of Paper Towns where John writes about leaving...about how it is the hardest thing in the world until you reach a kind of nostalgia overload, and then then suddenly it's the easiest thing in the world. This video is as good as that, except it manages to express it all without saying a word. So well done, John!
I've watched this video so many times now. I keep coming back to it. So beautiful. So poignant. So bittersweet.
Me too
Me too. Still my favorite vlogbrothers video ever. Even with video quality and shaky can.
I turned five years old when this video was uploaded. I cannot comprehend what it means to feel something so strongly about a place and time I never experienced, but this feeling is one of those special ones that keep me going despite the enormity of the world. Thanks, John and Hank.
Oh, I'm almost the same age as you (1 month apart). Definitely agree
I'm loving watching you both getting every so slowly better and better at these. It is a reminder that the most important thing I need to do in my life just now is to stop worrying about doing things right, and to make sure that I just keep doing them.
this is a really good point! I've been trying to make weekly videos and I skipped two weeks and finally made one today, and I felt like it wasn't very good. But I do think I've made progress on my other videos, and the important thing is to just keep creating!
wise words, my friend
There are a lot of vlogbrothers videos that are way better in overall quality but this one is still among my favourites not just because it's the video that introduced me to one of my favourite songs but it also makes me feel nostalgic for a time and memory I didn't live through. Heck I was barely 2 when this video came out. And from the comment section I can tell I'm not the only one feeling this strange type of nostalgia.
I don't really get emotional often, but this made me really sad. It made me think of all the walks I've taken that I wish I could have recorded and saved and kept forever.
Didn't expect to cry at 11:30 in the morning, haha... :
The cool thing about John is he is so often seemingly symbolic accidentally
Just re-found this song on my computer, and it reminded me of being in Japan in 2007 when I first discovered this video and the vlogbrothers~ *sigh*..
I've been following the vlogbrothers for many years now, but I just today discovered this video... and I happen to be in Japan for the summer, too! Haha something about Japan must encourage discovery of this old video :) Love love love (pun somewhat intended) the Mountain Goats~
I came in in 2012, yet I am somehow getting crippling nostalgia while watching these videos I have never seen since I'm watching all of them
I like how this comment is a conversation through time
Every couple months I come back to this video. Be it because I'm depressed or whatever, I just find John's walk to be really soothing to my soul. I love this song and I love the moment captured. It's one of those things that will stay with me. It is so simple. It's a new year and I'm a little drunk and a little emotional. Thank you John and Hank for keeping me going. Or I guess I should say for reminding me to keep going. DFTBA
this remains, in all the videos on this channel, my very favorite one.
Being a band geek, I love that John happened to be pretty much in time with the song for the first chunk (though on the wrong foot), and was sort of in time at many other points. Go band!
i know it’s 11 years later but i saw that too, go band!
I have enjoyed all you and your brother's vlogs, but this one is my favorite so far. It makes me homesick for a place I have never even been.
I hope you and your wife find as many things to love about Indiana. Good Luck!
I don't know why but this is one if my favorite vlogbrothers videos
I got to thinking about the line: "Some moments last forever and some flare out in love love love. "
I suspect that John would barely remember this day after watching the video, but all of our past moments are a collage that comes together to define who we are today. Cobain didn't make it past '94 and his last act is half of what he's remembered for. If he'd made it through he might have forgotten the details of his despair in the bigger picture of a life lived.
Your Right Now is Not your Forever and The Only Way Out is Through.
Love Love Love....
One day, I really hope to move into New York. It's been a sort of dream of mine since I can remember. Can you be nostalgic over an idea of a thing? Because if you can this video does it for me
This is a john green video. "Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia"
for some reason this comforts me. a lot of changes are going to happen in this next year for me, my family and friends. i've been terrified by the concept of change but for some reason i can't explain i feel better after watching this.
Currently a 29 year old living in the upper west side, working through some stuff, and this one just made me cry ❤
I just had to work so hard to find this video without being able to remember its name. It’s totally buried under the ensuing decade plus of Vlogbrothers videos that ALSO use the keywords “mountain goats”, “love love love”, “leaving”, “walk”. Still less than three thousand views in almost fifteen years but I think about it all the time. Thank you for introducing me to the Mountain Goats when I was twelve years old, John. This song is my favorite hymn.
I can’t help but imagine this shot cinematically with a steadicam looking so epic. Such a powerful way to wrap up a part of your life! Such art John & Sarah!
This video is so heart warming! I'm moving in two days, and I too have a 'walk'. In the summer I walk home every day along the path by the river, but once I move I'll no longer be able to do this. The saddest part is that I haven't been able to take my walk once this year. Anyway, I certainly came across this video at the right time. Thanks John for expressing my sentiments for me. Nicely done.
It's always nice to come back to this. John, thank you for introducing me to this song. I don't have a place where I can go and be alone and shut out all this bother. Over the years since I first listened to it, this song has become the closest thing to that
originally saw this when I was in middle school and I just remembered it. This video introduced me to the mountain goats and the sunset tree got me through a lot at that time. I’m glad I just now remembered this video exists and not in March when I had to flee NYC due to covid. Big big tears
Why do you beat me down with nostalgia John?
This is all our walk at some point in our lives, isn't it?
This video always makes me cry.
Thank you John.
I just bought this song and I've been listening to it over and over. It's GORGEOUS.
I don't know why, but this video always makes me cry.
Makes me happy to know that John likes this song just as much as I do.
Just went to youtube this song and a lot of people credit john for introducing them to it. Awesome to the max.
speak for yourself. i feel so uplifted from this video. Home is a thing to be cherished. forever remembered with a smile.
This is one of my all-time favorite vlogbrothers videos. So simple, but so sweet
still one of my favourite vlogbrother videos of all time. You guys complete me :]
Moving away from the City (and it's always "the City" to me - in my mind and my heart, there is only one city) was one of the hardest things my wife and I ever had to do. I teared up watching this video even before the walk, because I know that feeling. And then the walk, and the beautiful music (The Mountain Goats amirite?) and... yeah. Heartache and longing and missing my soul's home. Beautiful.
This is definitely my favorite vlogbrothers video. Thanks, John.
That was so beautiful. Thanks for capturing that moment.
This is such a sweet and melancholic video, and then there's one moment, where John does a little dance and I can't help but smile. DFTBA, you guys rock!
*sigh* This makes me miss a similar walk I used to take when I lived in Greenville, SC. I just recently moved to Buffalo, NY for graduate school and have been missing Greenville a lot. Wonderful video, John.
I just started my long term goal of watching all the videos, and this one so far is going to make me cry... :(
I didn't listen to the Mountain Goats when I first watched this....AHHHTHEFEEELLLSSSS are even more feelsy now :(
+Jason Best I discovered them with the celebrity death bingo video. The one where he played "cotton" to a slideshow of people he begrudgingly admitted he wished would die. But this video made me start looking into their other music.
Now some of their songs are a fixture in my life the way these two songs are a fixture in my vicarious experience of John's. Their music even has a way of making me feel nostalgic for things in the moment of experiencing them. It's amazing, and it makes me glad I subscribed to this channel so many years ago.
A lovely little film. Thankyou for sharing.
so I recently started watching vlogbrothers videos and I think you guys are even cooler now that I found out John likes the mountain goats. I love the mountain goats
In my opinion this is one of the best B2 videos. So simple but says so much.
This is one of, if not my favourite Vlogbrothers video and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's to do with the song Love Love Love playing in the background, presenting me to an amazingly good band that I've grown to like very much. But it's not only that, or at least I don't think that it is. It's nostalgia about a place where I've never been but maybe more than that, it's nostalgia about life and changes, and in the end I think it's because it shows that things do change and that that's ok, even good.
I love this video. It has to be one of my favorites!!!
I'm so happy the Vlogbrothers was shared with me and to discover I am a NERD Fighter...can't wait until I'm all caught up on the videos.
Ahhhhh I love this video! I feel like this every time I leave a place I have come to call home. Hopefully one day NYC will be one of those places for me.
Sometimes I still must stand in awe of how beautiful and creative their videos have been, even from the beginning...
It was five years ago today that the Brotherhood 2.0 project started.
I know this is true for Hank and John, but it also holds just as true to the Nerdfighters: our lives will never be the same.
My life has changed so drastically with the creation of the Vlogbrothers.
I owe them several of my friends.
And I owe beautiful, thoughtful videos like this my eternal awe.
DFTBA
oh and btw, i've been watching the brotherhood the past two days and i love it!! you guys are hilarious!
Me too.
For this, John Green, I cannot begin to express my thanks.
This video is what introduced me to The Mountain Goats, who have gone on to be, by far, my favorite band. Thanks John!
This makes me wish I could've taken a goodbye walk before I left New York.
I was born & grew up in nyc, in manhattan, but I've been away from home for the past ~3-4 years (at school) and when I do come home we generally don't stay in the city but instead travel to visit our extended family. I don't usually get very nostalgic, but as soon as you started walking into the park, it kind of hit me.
central park was my backyard growing up. I don't know if I will live in the city like my parents, but I will miss it...
You made me cry with this... :'( It's always hard to leave a place...
Three days ago I launched my mission to watch every single video that you two have made. This might sound weird, but I feel like I'm developing a phycological attachment to your lives. It's like reading a long book series and slowly becoming attached to the characters on an emotional level.
On a side note: I'm 23 years old and I also have a brother. We're twins and at this moment in time we're fortunate enough to live 30 minutes from each other. Sadly, we're not as close as you two are.
This is my favorite video to watch of Brotherhood 2.0. Very good job John,
@Sarriki I'm on the same adventure to watch all the videos. It really does feel like making 2 new friends once you have about 100 under your belt. Thank you for sharing your lives.
The music of this video means so much more to me now than about a year ago, the first time I decided to watch all there videos in order. Actually, a lot of things in these videos do.
This video makes me want to cry. I love this video.
I started watching all the vlogbrothers videos in order about 3 months ago, but I stopped here and only now watched it. I avoided it because I'm also leaving New York soon. Though it's in a little less than a year, I'm leaving for university and it'll probably be permanent. I was born here, raised here, spent my entire life here just watching other people. And in less than a year I'll be moving across the ocean, and never coming back. I mean, I'm sure I'll visit my friends once in a while, I wouldn't be able to live without them, but there's a part of me that I'm going to be leaving in New York when I leave. I won't be a full person anymore. When I visit, I'll probably have a slight accent. The walk to the train station will be just a bit foreign. I'll be just a bit foreign. The thought of it is really painful.
Also this song is fucking great. It reminds me of a lot of moments I've had while on the subway reading a good book on a sunny May afternoon.
I nearly cried. One of the best videos thus far! So much emotion John.
P.S. I had never heard a song from The Mountain Goats....now I must hear more!
I'm on the same adventure, trying to watch every single video. After about 60 it started to feel like I was making 2 new friends. I totally agree with you @Sarriki
Thank you for sharing these parts of your lives.
This is definitely one of my favorite B20 videos.
If for some reason Hank and John ever decide to end the vlog, the finale should be a reunion video where they recreate this walk together.
The simplicity of the video, the music, it's so heartbreaking...
This video really made me love John. John you're great. I hope you get to take that walk again :)
awe, my feelings just poured out of my soul. I felt alive for a moment, but only just.
That was a very beautiful, simple video. I loved it.
I love this video. First of all, because of the sense of nostalgia, but also the idea that John and the Yeti walked this together, for the last time. I feel that the camera 'woman' is also present in this video.
This is the best Vlogbrothers video. I got emotional. I don't do that very much.
I miss living in nyc sooo much :(
Just beautiful.
The Mountain Goats. :_)
Aww, that was beautiful.
I miss New York now.
Going back in one month! :)
How have I never seen this one...
Feeling a lot of things
Because of its simplicity, while oddly comunicating more than words can, this is one of the best B2.0 vidoes
This was just beautiful.
This is actually really really beautiful. Very relaxing :)
John, this was really great. It seems you are sentimental like me. I do stuff like this. I try to get in a "one-last-blast" for all the things that I'm used to doing in a place before I leave it. Props man. I feel for you.
God, I'm actually crying a little bit. That was beautiful.
I lived in the city till I was 4 years old and I now live in a suburb in New Jersey and the city's 35 minutes away. I don't think I'll want to live anywhere else besides the city, it'll always be my home.
Thinking about my sister, and my friend, and my life, and about the fact I am about to take a huge step in my life, its just so big and scary. But I will always have my sister. And this song almost makes me cry. because I think of her and how she was always there for me. Mika...I love you. You are my sister. And I will ALWAYS love you. -your sister: Anna
Excellent song. It is a good walk... I would miss it too.
I love Central Park...and that path you took. I miss it dearly. You don't get that much green or cultural/peaceful in West Texas. When I visited this summer, I sort of fell in love. I know it's sort of stupid to fall in love with a city, but I believe I have with Manhattan.
I have also fell in love with the Mountain Goats.
And I have grown more deeply in love with your lives... I just hope my brother and I can keep our strong relationship when we part ways next year, just as you have.
Love Love Love by the Mountain Goats. John's first, second, and fourth favorite band, from their 2005 album The Sunset Tree (my personal favorite album of theirs)
One of my favorite Brotherhood 2.0 videos...probably the Mountain Goats...and New York City...and John Green...
that was a really neat video...it made me want to cry...
Thank you for teaching us that there is an "everything nowness" in all places. The rats hurl themselves into the ocean. We are not the rats.
this video has served to remind me that i'd be helpless to ever try to leave my home. to go for a walk on a summer day in central park is one of my favorite things. i think no matter where i go in life, every summer i'll have to return to that.
Back in '06 I spend about a month there in prep for, and during, the NY Auto Show. The first part of your walk looked a lot like where I'd walked. From the Westin Times Square, down 43rd St to 12th Ave over to the Javits Center. In the morning I'd usually stop at the Deli on the NW corner of 43rd and 8th to get food and drinks for the day at the show. Sometimes I walked back from the show up 42nd. I actually liked it there, I didn't think I would.
I want to go back...
this was so touching! loved it
I've walked where John Green has walked. My life has meaning now!
I love New York, and this video makes me want to go back there again.
ALL the feels!
god, i miss new york so much. i lived until i was only five, and then we moved to new jersey. im lucky i live so close and visit often, i don't know what i would do if i couldn't do that.
This video is what made me fall in love with the Mountain Goats. "Love Love Love" makes me cry every time I hear it. :')
love this song!
I saw John Green a lot and when I finally discovered vlogbrothers, I immediately recognized him from seeing him around the city.
watching this during a global pandemic made me feel really calm and nostalgic...
I've never even been to New York, but now i somehow miss it...
I did not know that. I will have to check it out.
Thanks for being awesome :)
