I hadn't heard this song in years but when I heard it, I knew right away who it was and samesies. Got choked up. Haha. Especially since he ended the special pretty much dedicating it to his late wife.
The part where he goes "and if life is really as short as they then why is the night so long?" Always chokes me up. Throughout my life I came across so much heart ache and pain and id often lay awake at night, thinking and sometimes crying. To make it all worse I first found this song about 1 or 2 years Go and it helped me get over someone who had been in my life for 8 years. I don't wanna say this song is the reason im happier now but this definitely helped a ton. I remember asking myself and god (I didn't really pray I would just complain and talk to him at night) I'd always ask him questions that were similar to the ones in the song and I'd stay up for so long wondering and wishing my suffering would end. I put an end to that about half a year ago. I'm a much happier person and this song always makes me so happy now
So many years not listening this song, I came back here today and I'm so gracefull, this song has left a deep mark on me and for a couple of years I lost it, but now I'm here again
To me, this is the kind of song to listen to on a long night drive, looking out at the night sky, thinking about life and how small we are in this universe.
I sailed a wild, wild sea Climbed up a tall, tall mountain I met a old, old man Beneath a weeping willow tree He said now if you got some questions Go and lay them at my feet But my time here is brief So you'll have to pick just three [Chorus] And I said What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart And how can a man like me remain in the light And if life is really as short as they say Then why is the night so long And then the sun went down And he sang for me this song See I once was a young fool like you Afraid to do the things That I knew I had to do So I played an escapade just like you I played an escapade just like you I sailed a wild, wild sea Climbed up a tall, tall mountain I met an old, old man He sat beneath a sapling tree He said now if you got some questions Go and lay them at my feet But my time here is brief So you'll have to pick just three [Chorus]
This song simply breaks my heart. My ex-wife and I lost all three of our babies at once, and the devastation that we felt left us unable to communicate, even with each other. In fact, it will be three years exactly in just four days from now, and I have not remained in, nor seen any light since that horrific day...nor do I expect to see any light for a long time yet, maybe forever. I first heard this song at the end of Patton Oswalt's latest comedy stand-up video, and I started crying like a baby. Truly, my heart was breaking, both for Mr. Oswalt and for our three, precious babies...and, well, I guess if I'm being honest, for myself, as well. Life is, indeed, chaos. And I try to be kind. But every day is night, all day long. Honestly, it is hard just to breath most days. I cannot even look at their pictures, nor view any video that has them in it. It just reminds me of how much I miss them, and I die again all over, just like on October 25th, 2014. A-n-n-n-n-d, cue the tears. My babies!
You are an angel. I can’t imagine what you must feel. Please, head over to Ralph Smart’s channel, Infinite Waters (Diving Deep) He has helped me and an innumerable amount of others for all things rejuvenating joy and love. Peace.
@@McMilesEI know that it has been a long time since you wrote this reply, but I am so emotional about this subject that I will often avoid places where I have previously visited, so as to avoid the memories that the web page conjures. For that reason alone, I have avoided this page. However, I was just thinking about this song and decided to watch the video once again. Imagine my consternation when I discovered that I had completely forgotten about sharing anything here, let alone how terrible were the memories that this song elicited and that I had written about; very personal, very heart-wrenching, utterly mind-warping devastation--that is what was on my mind when I typed the original message. That, coupled with my recall of Patton Oswalt's own devastating loss, caused me to feel the very emotions with which I have been failing to cope for so long, and had hoped to avoid all together. Anyhow, I quickly scrolled downward to glance at some responses to this beautiful song about trying to recover from an unimaginable loss. My heart skipped a beat when I instantly recognized my avatar on one comment. Then, upon reading such responses as yours, I was moved to tears again, but this time as much from gratitude as from feeling the ever-present sadness overwhelm me. Consequently, I am sorry that it took me so long to reply, but this is the first time that I even knew that your reply existed, which is to say that I first read it today. I suppose, when I think about it, and then squint through the tears to read it, I am trying to respond to your reply with an extremely long-winded but heartfelt thank you. So, here it is again: "Thank you!" "Thank you!" and "Thank you!" again. It is people such as you who have kept me tethered to the earth, even if tenuously. Otherwise, and not being a religious person, I probably would have tried to finalize matters here on earth, and if there is an afterlife, thence to join my sweet babies who are, hopefully, awaiting "Dada's" arrival with loving arms, bear hugs, and smothering kisses. I dream about that while awake as, thankfully, I do not dream any more while sleeping. A kind doctor medicated me long ago in an effort to try to help me sleep at all, by helping me to avoid the horrible, crushing, wake-each-night-screaming nightmares from which I had suffered. Thanks, Doc. Sorry for the book-length reply, but I guess that I have been holding all of this in for a while now. You are simply a sounding board. ...A-stranger-to-me, kind, empathetic soul, "sounding board" with whom I may commiserate on a matter that is near and dear to my heart. As such, and with your good wishes to me as a guide, I wish nothing but goodness and happiness to you and "yours" in triplicate...or more. With much love and gratitude, AceHall
Fundementally, folk music is supposed to tell a story. It is the literal thesis of folk music. Thak you, M. Ward for keeping this wonderful tradition alive
I was introduced to this song by singer/songwriter Zack Elliott who is also amazing. I feel this song in my heart and it also brings me to tears. Zack Elliott sings it so awesomely also!!!! ❤️❤️
i'm going through a bit of a tough time regarding a breakup, and just got to the point where i can accept that it happened and things are the way they are. this song is basically the definition of where my mind is at right now. it puts me at ease for some reason. some kind of message that it will all be ok.
I'm out a relationship too, but am over the relationship. I'm just having a hard time loving myself-- not being afraid to do the things I have to do. I need to move forward to be happy. Why is that so hard and standing still so easy?
My third grade teacher showed me this song many years ago and it’s always stuck with me, I haven’t heard it in years and just decided to look for it tonight, glad I found it.
This is the most beautiful repetition any song has ever had. It actually serves a purpose and isnt really a repitition. Cycle of life generation before generation.. Could play on a loop into the past until you get to the point where humans invented music.
this song is fucking amazing due to the simple virtue it has that just leaves the listener wanting more. reminds me a lot of other songs like Reckoner by Radiohead, Tiny Birds by Yo La Tengo or Hong Kong by Gorillaz in the sense that it greatly succeeds in pleasing the listener, but leaves it at _just_ the right time so as to make it an enjoyable, bittersweet experience that doesn't overstay its welcome, and strikes a perfect balance of relatable and melancholic without being overly saccharine or overbearing. Very charming visuals and animation as well. Fucking perfection right there.
I love the tuning he uses on the guitar. The harmonies are perfect!. Oh man...I love this song!. It's almost like I'm walking into a meadow and on the edge of hearing this incredible sound reaches my ears.
It broke my heart to hear this at the end of Patton Oswalt’s last standup. He comes across as such a genuinely sweet and kind person as well as being hilarious. I’m sure his wife was just as lovely. Rest In Peace Michelle.
This is utterly brilliant - his best song and I think if you asked him, he would say this is his favourite - I'm from England, our guys don't write songs this good!
This song reminds me of the poem "A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey". They both portray different perspectives that go along with aging as risenloudly said. A beautiful poem to go along with an incredible song (:
The answer will lie at the end of your journey. Using the strength you have earned through the bonds you have forged you will find the absolute end and the true self.
The answer to all the questions is to NOT run away. That's about it, to NOT run away from the things that you KNOW you have to do. M. Ward is LEGENDARY!!! my generation's Bob Dylan!
what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? Play this song how does a man like me remain in the light? Play this song and if life is really just as short as they say then why is the night so long? To play this song
The constant search for meaning and purpose is a task that can not be completed. To seek enlightenment is to never find it. The more we search, the more we feel that there is something to find. Only once we realize that what we seek was actually here all along, can we really feel what it means to be alive. There is no way to learn how to be happy or at peace, its just that you're a fool who's afraid to do things you know you have to do. Let go of the idea that happiness is attached to a goal. It is simply a matter of accepting that we are enough as we are and life is enough as it is.
Tyson showed me this song a couple months ago. But since I told him off yesterday, I can't stop listening to it. It's so beautiful. It's been stuck in my head all day, and I've also played it like 6 or 7 times today. I had to get mad at Tyson. I just got tired of getting my hopes up, and getting stood up or being ghosted via text message. I'm also really tired of him saying beautiful things to me and sort of making plans with me, to later deny that he said any of those things. Mostly, tho, I'm sick and tired of him believing other people's word over mine, which is kind of like insinuating that I'm lying. Which I am not. It was so hard today to not text him or call. It was torture! I miss him so much, and his dog. I'm miserable and I've been crying off and on since last night. I hope he sees my comment the next time he plays this song, which will most likely be soon because he loves this song and plays it everyday. He says it's "his song". Tyson, if you see this comment, I want you to know I still love you. I miss you so much. I'm wishing and hoping that you will reach out to me soon. I know I said that I was going to go back on facebook dating because a lot of men were sending me messages and wanting to meet me. I having done that and I don't want to do that. You're the only man I want to date. You're the best kisser and best lover I've ever had. We have this strong connection when we're near eachother, and when we kiss. It's like pheromones or some kind of chemical reaction. I know you feel that aswell. I understand that you're hurt, you've had your heart broken a lot and you shut your heart down, and won't let yourself feel again. That is lame Tyson. I've also had my heart broken, and a lot of people have hurt me and done me wrong. I still want to find another love...another lover...friend and partner. You're not old enough,Tyson, to go the rest of your life alone with your heart locked up. I'm not like those other women who hurt you. I'm a ride-or-di3, down @$$ woman, and I'm loyal af. I never cheated on any man. I would never do that. One night while we were sitting in the car, you said you wanted to hold me all night, everynight. We talked about moving into an apartment together and being partners. Last night you denied that you said those things, you denied the whole conversation. That totally set me off. I think sometimes you hurt my feelings to push me away, because you actually do care for me, and you don't want to care. You think if you care then you will end up getting hurt again. That couldn't be farther from the truth, tho, Tyson. Yes, I know that I'm alot to deal with, I have major mental health issues and I'm kind of emotionally unstable sometimes. I'm "extra"... I guess. I talk too much and too fast, and I have an awful habit of cutting people off. But seriously I have a heart of gold and more integrity than the average person. I'm always nurturing and comforting to my partner. If I have a man I love, I will literally do anything for him. I want to try to be good to him, pamper him and take care of all his needs. If I love a man, I really do spend most of my time thinking about things I could do to help him and make his life easier. I always feel like I'm just a second thought to you. I feel like you push me away, because you're scared. You are wrong to do that. With the chemistry we have when we're together, it's wrong to push me away like you do. You need to open your heart to me, and let me love you. Tyson are you just going to be miserable and lonely and sad the rest of your life? That would be a shame to deny our connection, and to deny how great the s3x we have is, and how it feels when we kiss. Tyson please open your heart to me, babe. I promise I won't break it. We could have something really good. We are both in our 40s. We still have enough years left of life that we can have another "great" love... I want another "great" love. I want your love. I promise you'll always have my love! Please call me Tyson or text. I miss you and I love you so much babe. I need you in my life. I'm sorry I got so upset at you on Monday night. My feelings were just crushed. Hit me up anytime day or night.... I am always here for you Tyson. I'm wishing, and hoping and praying you reach out to me soon. I'm meditating and focusing all my intention and positive vibes on you being back in my life. Don't hesitate to reach out. Call me or text anytime day ot night. Use my real number tho.....I love you Tyson! Let's give this thing between us a real chance. We both deserve that.
Whenever I find obscure amazing songs since I first discovered Pixies right through to this including other mind blowing talents there is always 4AD. Fucking class!!!
This song came on at the end of Patton's latest special and I just lost it. So beautiful and poignant. Love Patton, love this song. Be kind.
Who B'stank lol special just ended on my Netflix and now I’m here too 🤣🤣
I hadn't heard this song in years but when I heard it, I knew right away who it was and samesies. Got choked up. Haha. Especially since he ended the special pretty much dedicating it to his late wife.

Youve inspired me to stop doing that
@@Michael-me9pd this song in itself is a reminder that there is nothing new under the Sun. Anything you can feel has been felt by another.
@@justme-gd4gq thank you for your energy ❤
So many years not listening this song, I came back here today and I'm so gracefull, this song has left a deep mark on me and for a couple of years I lost it, but now I'm here again
Same here, been a while, sometimes you sort of forget songs after a while, and something jogs your memory
Me too!! Just rediscovered it again and brings me to tears❤
To me, this is the kind of song to listen to on a long night drive, looking out at the night sky, thinking about life and how small we are in this universe.
One of my favorite songs in high school.
Can't believe it's been 11 years.
Wow you must be right around my age. I graduated in 2010
14 now!
52 years for me. lol Enjoy it while you can for it sure goes by in a hurry.
10 for me and i feel you was really ilto this junior year
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met a old, old man
Beneath a weeping willow tree
He said now if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three
[Chorus]
And I said
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
And how can a man like me remain in the light
And if life is really as short as they say
Then why is the night so long
And then the sun went down
And he sang for me this song
See I once was a young fool like you
Afraid to do the things
That I knew I had to do
So I played an escapade just like you
I played an escapade just like you
I sailed a wild, wild sea
Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
I met an old, old man
He sat beneath a sapling tree
He said now if you got some questions
Go and lay them at my feet
But my time here is brief
So you'll have to pick just three
[Chorus]
He was vague as crap!
LOL J/K, I love this song!
No answers. Just more questions.
Vague and deep @@coloradokittenfoster7459

I discovered this song, like 4 months ago, and AMAZING, its my favorite song, so beautiful.
This song makes me feel so good about myself and my life. It's so fucking wonderful.
One of my best friends showed me this song. We don’t talk anymore. But I miss him.
It wasn't Tyson was it?
It’s Chaos. Be Kind.
Just saw Oswalt's show last night... this quote struck a chord with me, too.
This song was such a powerful way to end a show. Hit me really hard and I had to remember fractions of lyrics to find it. Glad I did.
I love how many people are posting this as a comment. It gives me some hope.
I don t like. it.
get out. of. my phone. go. buy. one. so. u. do. or. put. what u. want. on. it ? 1-729-165-406 Joey ok
I remember my dad showing me this song when I was like 8 and I have loved it ever since.
I feel old now. lol
I remember showing my dad this song when I was 24 and he's loved it ever since.
M. Ward and twenty one pilots are my two favorite musical acts of all time so you have major points in my book
oh yes same here. as do you. |-/ Dylan Parsons
Olive Houde |-/
I’ve been looking for this song for 10 years and just found it! I’m so happy!!!
Nice!!

Mirukuāmondo damn dude, good comment. A+. I'm gonna listen to those songs next
rimjob good music taste brother. literally name dropped two of my favs
My man you deserve something for this comment. Perhaps a coupon for a free gordita or something idk..
I once went to Hong Kong, just because of that Albarn's song. This kind of music, it just moves me, literally.
the use of fuck multiple times in your comment really just goes against the vibez of this song
My dad used to play this song for me when I was little. Thanks dad ❤
Just refound this after a long long search. Worth it.
Just discovered this! Wow! So sweet and profound. ❤
I love the tuning he uses on the guitar. The harmonies are perfect!. Oh man...I love this song!. It's almost like I'm walking into a meadow and on the edge of hearing this incredible sound reaches my ears.
Hands down my favourite song. I love the sound, the message, the voice. It resonates deeply, and more so with each passing year…
This song always reminds me of my dad. I'm so glad I found it again!
Colby Jeannine my dad is dying right now, I'm 30, father of two. All I needed to hear.
Same
It broke my heart to hear this at the end of Patton Oswalt’s last standup. He comes across as such a genuinely sweet and kind person as well as being hilarious. I’m sure his wife was just as lovely. Rest In Peace Michelle.
I still can't get enough of this one.
OMG WHEN I SAW THE FACES IN THE TREE i exploded with giddiness, the sheer artistic cleverness WOW. Aw absolute respect for both pieces.
Made me cry. Great song. Period.
This is utterly brilliant - his best song and I think if you asked him, he would say this is his favourite - I'm from England, our guys don't write songs this good!
This song makes me cry... it's very good. Cheers.
Only through you're mistakes and old age do you begin to understand life. Man I love M ward, such a poet.
I was lucky to run into this song, it's so soothing, and also kind of heartbreaking.
Music doesn't get more perfect than this! Matt Ward is a brilliant talented artist! One of my favorites!
Can’t remember when or where I heard this song but I love it! And enjoy playing it in bars just for the re-action
The man who answer this three questions, is a wise man
Thank you Patton for introducing me to this song a while ago! Oh and a big thank you to whoever wrote it!
Great song, great artist and songwriter. Not sure if I'd want him to break out, then sell out as many do, but I wish him much success and happiness.
Great song after all these years. Be innocent like children always!
I remember watching this when I was 16. I didnt get the video then. I love it now!
Again and again this song feels relevant. I love it.
Rest well, Michelle.
“It’s chaos . Be kind “ Michelle Eileen McNamara - Patton Oswalt
*chaos
Beautiful.
I always arrive back at this feel
I still can't believe how beautiful this song and video are. It's inspiring. Thank you.
This song hurts me in a beautiful way.
This song reminds me of the poem "A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey". They both portray different perspectives that go along with aging as risenloudly said. A beautiful poem to go along with an incredible song (:
Absolutely brilliant lyrics! I love this song so much :)
Thank you, Patton Oswalt. I love this.
HazyWave eyyy. I just finished the special
Be kind :D
Yup! Same. Song is beautiful.
Patton did something I thought he couldn't, make me sad
I loved the special!
so so soooo good
98 thumbs down? Are you soulless?? Truly amazing
joel trussell fan too ... epic song; mward never misses
The answer will lie at the end of your journey. Using the strength you have earned through the bonds you have forged you will find the absolute end and the true self.
This song makes me happy
Found this on my own and i couldn't be happier
2024 anyone?
Yes me!!!
Oh yeah. Been awhile but came back for it. Animation pairs perfectly to create a whole little world that tells the story.
Absolutely.... Timeless!!!
Oh yeaaa...... need to every now and again.
I just discovered this... man I'm behind
Wowee. Brand new fan now. I'm speechless.
what do you do whit the pieces of a broken heaaaaarrt... makes me smile every time! ;)
forever relevant in my life
I used to listen to this song when I was little. I love this song
I love this song as a child, and I lost it. I almost just cried
This needs more views!
this is pretty great
had me as soon as his voice came in along with the lively guitar strain
I always hear "Nationwide is on your side at the beginning of this song" in my head at the beginning of this song.
The answer to all the questions is to NOT run away. That's about it, to NOT run away from the things that you KNOW you have to do.
M. Ward is LEGENDARY!!! my generation's Bob Dylan!
Same here! Just watched patton's last special. A very moving ending.
2019 came back to it. Been 10 or 11 years.
nice plot!!1 nice song!! nice voice!!!
outstanding!!!
what a beautiful translation m.ward. gives me the chills everytime
The meaning of life is never more within reach than when I'm listening to this song.
I know I hope I can find the answers for myself to those three questions.
damn 12 years gone by, fast as can be
oh dear could I love this more?
What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? 💔. What a great question!!!
Great song and sound, I found this tune in My Mix here on TH-cam. Nice
Best song ever…. Cant stop
simply beautiful...
I remember this from 10 yrs ago
Incredible. I still feeling it in my skin. ^.^
Beutiful song, thanks for the apport.
So brilliant. Thank you, M. Ward.
Can’t wait to see you play at Blues Fest in Ottawa 😊
bloody hell such a brilliant song
What a wonderfully uplifting tune. Feels good man.
it's chaos. be kind!
I love the fact that so many people, including myself got into this song because of Patton Oswald. The song is beautiful, and so was his special.
what do you do with the pieces of a broken heart? Play this song
how does a man like me remain in the light? Play this song
and if life is really just as short as they say then why is the night so long? To play this song
Amazing and beautiful song.
the ending is just so good

Only once we realize that what we seek was actually here all along, can we really feel what it means to be alive. There is no way to learn how to be happy or at peace, its just that you're a fool who's afraid to do things you know you have to do. Let go of the idea that happiness is attached to a goal. It is simply a matter of accepting that we are enough as we are and life is enough as it is.
Just came here, because he put on a concert and auditorium shores, at SXSW, opened for the shins, best of all it was free!
Aw my God......this video....and the song....everything!! The feels!! Its so sweet and thoughtful and shit this will become my lullaby >.
Tyson showed me this song a couple months ago. But since I told him off yesterday, I can't stop listening to it. It's so beautiful. It's been stuck in my head all day, and I've also played it like 6 or 7 times today. I had to get mad at Tyson. I just got tired of getting my hopes up, and getting stood up or being ghosted via text message. I'm also really tired of him saying beautiful things to me and sort of making plans with me, to later deny that he said any of those things. Mostly, tho, I'm sick and tired of him believing other people's word over mine, which is kind of like insinuating that I'm lying. Which I am not. It was so hard today to not text him or call. It was torture! I miss him so much, and his dog. I'm miserable and I've been crying off and on since last night. I hope he sees my comment the next time he plays this song, which will most likely be soon because he loves this song and plays it everyday. He says it's "his song". Tyson, if you see this comment, I want you to know I still love you. I miss you so much. I'm wishing and hoping that you will reach out to me soon. I know I said that I was going to go back on facebook dating because a lot of men were sending me messages and wanting to meet me. I having done that and I don't want to do that. You're the only man I want to date. You're the best kisser and best lover I've ever had. We have this strong connection when we're near eachother, and when we kiss. It's like pheromones or some kind of chemical reaction. I know you feel that aswell. I understand that you're hurt, you've had your heart broken a lot and you shut your heart down, and won't let yourself feel again. That is lame Tyson. I've also had my heart broken, and a lot of people have hurt me and done me wrong. I still want to find another love...another lover...friend and partner. You're not old enough,Tyson, to go the rest of your life alone with your heart locked up. I'm not like those other women who hurt you. I'm a ride-or-di3, down @$$ woman, and I'm loyal af. I never cheated on any man. I would never do that. One night while we were sitting in the car, you said you wanted to hold me all night, everynight. We talked about moving into an apartment together and being partners. Last night you denied that you said those things, you denied the whole conversation. That totally set me off. I think sometimes you hurt my feelings to push me away, because you actually do care for me, and you don't want to care. You think if you care then you will end up getting hurt again. That couldn't be farther from the truth, tho, Tyson. Yes, I know that I'm alot to deal with, I have major mental health issues and I'm kind of emotionally unstable sometimes. I'm "extra"... I guess. I talk too much and too fast, and I have an awful habit of cutting people off. But seriously I have a heart of gold and more integrity than the average person. I'm always nurturing and comforting to my partner. If I have a man I love, I will literally do anything for him. I want to try to be good to him, pamper him and take care of all his needs. If I love a man, I really do spend most of my time thinking about things I could do to help him and make his life easier. I always feel like I'm just a second thought to you. I feel like you push me away, because you're scared. You are wrong to do that. With the chemistry we have when we're together, it's wrong to push me away like you do. You need to open your heart to me, and let me love you. Tyson are you just going to be miserable and lonely and sad the rest of your life? That would be a shame to deny our connection, and to deny how great the s3x we have is, and how it feels when we kiss. Tyson please open your heart to me, babe. I promise I won't break it. We could have something really good. We are both in our 40s. We still have enough years left of life that we can have another "great" love... I want another "great" love. I want your love. I promise you'll always have my love! Please call me Tyson or text. I miss you and I love you so much babe. I need you in my life. I'm sorry I got so upset at you on Monday night. My feelings were just crushed. Hit me up anytime day or night.... I am always here for you Tyson. I'm wishing, and hoping and praying you reach out to me soon. I'm meditating and focusing all my intention and positive vibes on you being back in my life. Don't hesitate to reach out. Call me or text anytime day ot night. Use my real number tho.....I love you Tyson! Let's give this thing between us a real chance. We both deserve that.
"It's all chaos, be kind..."

Whenever I find obscure amazing songs since I first discovered Pixies right through to this including other mind blowing talents there is always 4AD. Fucking class!!!
And I keep drifting back! How time flies but class stays class! So I raise a glass and listen in awe!
