Cloud Cult - THANK YOU FOR EXISTING!!! I'm ashamed that it took me this long to find out your band is from my home state, Minnesota!!! Feeling goofy about this - but I'm seriously - thanks for being a part of why I'm feel so good to be a Minnesota home-girl.
This is an amazing song. It manages to be devastating without being pessimistic, all the while retaining Cloud Cult's atypical beauty. If I ever need a good cry, I need only listen to this. On question - in the early middle, does anyone else hear "You are your own savior, you are your own killer"? I've looked it up and most sources say "cure" instead of "killer," but I hear "killer"...
"never see the present 'cause you're always looking back. Counting down the seconds to a heart attack. Bottle it up and the bottle goes crack. Do what you do 'cause you can't come back. " Gets stuck in my head and gives me strength and confidence. Everything about this song is beautiful.
I literally just started sobbing, despite trying not to cry. It wasn't just a few tears, it was uncontrollable shaky crying. I love Cloud Cult but somehow I've never seen this video. I can't place what happened, and I don't even understand the video, but it was absolutely beautiful and I've never felt anything like it.
That was most easily the best thing I've ever heard and seen. I've heard my fair share of deep, orchestra type music. However this was so unbelievably beautiful, tears were slipping down my cheek and I didn't even know it was happening. This was so awesome, High Fives all around!
there is a reason so many are moved: beautiful video, lyrics & super moving & "actually feeling it" performance; great actor that Knox, your music moves me deeply Craig & www.CloudCult.com can't wait to see you live again. soundtrack for the future.
I got this album back around the time I graduated from high school. I've been wrestling with finding my path ever since; finished college, started grad school in a lab i'm stoked on...but I'm missing something. I've been listening to the album a lot more lately and I've been feeling that void a lot more too. No conclusion to be found here...just throwing this out to the universe.
We all got a purpose(s) in life. These might change on a whim or stick with us till death do we all part. I'm still learning myself as I'm only 14 and my future is good with family and friends. Yet I too feel empty inside, all of my past "achievements" are anything but exceptional, and the position I currently own isn't anything special yet I'm supposed to be extraordinary gifted. Despite all these things I'm lonely. I crave to experience love and passion. Sure my eyes have shifted to many women but none of them see the special guy under the lame rags I call clothes. What I'm trying to say is that nobodies perfect and you shouldn't stress about the future.
Love Cloud Cult to death... though I will go ahead and say that their videos could be a little better... The things I envision in my head to their music are so much bolder and varied and well.... as emotionally powerful as their music is. Hey Craig, can *I* direct your next video? lol... love these guys!
With silent screams and troubled dreams, My deepest scars remain unseen. With rage that quakes, I make mistakes, The damage done I can’t un-break. Depression’s wake, my body aches, I can not stand the pills I take. It’s not, it seems, uncommon themes, I come across as being mean. “Oh not today, please go away” These social calls they try to pay. Perhaps at last, (life goes by fast) At heaven’s gate the Lord I’ll ask, “Oh Lord how long,” (please hear my song) “To those on earth these ills belong?” Then finally free of pain, you see, The joy abounds most heavenly. My life I glean, the tears do stream, This poet’s pain now finally seen. ~kit (on living with PTSD and Bi-polar Disorder)
Since the lyrics are a bit tricky to understand... I present to you! The lyrics I copied and pasted from Google! Lol: Building up a belly full of bumble bees Pushing down the pain like it's a quarantine Baby, sing in choir 'til your tongue falls out Cuz if you hold it all in it'll all fall out And one by one, the people, they explode The past ain't ever gonna re-come So do what you do, cuz what's done is done Beat out the pain with a kick drum Can't escape from yourself unless you don't run And one by one, the people, they explode You are your own poison You are your own doctor You are your own saviour You are your own cure One by one the people they explode You never see the present, cuz you're always looking back Or counting down the seconds to your heart attack Bottle it up, and the bottle goes crack Do what you do, cuz you can't come back And one by one, the people, they explode
Minnesota rivers really are ugly. In a beautiful way, ugly/sad. Cloud Cult has had a huge impact me, but this video suffers from the same problem the album does...it's just too much. This song, live, oh god there's nothing like it. When everyone in the band quits what they're doing and starts waling on the drum. Fantastic.
It's a testament to the greatness of this band that there is literally no hate in these comments, just inspiration and celebration
Mom, do you know where dad is?
Not a clue. He left g+ months ago, apparently.
wha? ;-;
Not sure why... *hugs* I'm glad you're here. I saw the "Funeral" thing and thought maybe you deleted too.
*hugs back* no I just changed character because Amy died in a helicopter in an rp. I'm not even sure why Katie made an event about it.

I am looking at this video with no sound and it still tells a story! Great work Melby
"never see the present 'cause you're always looking back.
Counting down the seconds to a heart attack.
Bottle it up and the bottle goes crack.
Do what you do 'cause you can't come back. "
Gets stuck in my head and gives me strength and confidence. Everything about this song is beautiful.
Same process in my head :) Such a good music and has less then 100 000 views.
This band changed my life.

Oh god, song and video together made me cry. :'[ such a genuine, beautifully made song. Actors and video were perfect.

I have had days like this... My house is a Dada masterpiece for my devotion to Shiva! :)

Long Live King LUD
Wow that was deep, I cried.he was so desperate
What a great band!
computer having minor glitch? rip off the screen!
anyway, i love this band and their music. can't wait for the new album!
have you ever worked on something for a really long time and then it glitched and at that point you remembered that you didnt save it?
@NachieNachie yeah, they tend to do that.
Can someone do a guitar cover of this
I know I'm not a failure because I try to not cry at this song and video, and every time I fail.
How are there only 2956 hits when I've watched this video about 8,000 times?
@NachieNachie Me Too!
i think i did subscribed
Since the lyrics are a bit tricky to understand...
I present to you! The lyrics I copied and pasted from Google! Lol:
Building up a belly full of bumble bees
Pushing down the pain like it's a quarantine
Baby, sing in choir 'til your tongue falls out
Cuz if you hold it all in it'll all fall out
And one by one, the people, they explode
The past ain't ever gonna re-come
So do what you do, cuz what's done is done
Beat out the pain with a kick drum
Can't escape from yourself unless you don't run
And one by one, the people, they explode
You are your own poison
You are your own doctor
You are your own saviour
You are your own cure
One by one the people they explode
You never see the present, cuz you're always looking back
Or counting down the seconds to your heart attack
Bottle it up, and the bottle goes crack
Do what you do, cuz you can't come back
And one by one, the people, they explode
Nostalgia ahhhhhhhhh
...could've called IT Support.
how did they do the voice
Yea! RPK is a rockstar
ME TO!!!
love the song but vid didn't work 4 me
Since I heard them I basically haven't sought out any new bands. I don't need them. They say everything you could want about life.
ditto.
@ryanpk76 I think that means 2956 people have watcjed it. I think they counted your 8,000 as only 1.
Im soooooooo high.
me to

@LinksGirlFriend Me too!
umm..ye, whatever. I'm still looking for another ''washed your car''... anybody?
You are your own sickness
You are your own cure
I agree with everyone except THAT guy!
The video is amazing, but oddly enough I didn't actually like the song.
I love Cloud Cult, but geez, what an average song.
Great song & cool rhythm. Awful video!!
Come on guys, it doesn't fit the lyrics and is poorly made!
Goosebumps and tears every time ::
