[@catcrapinahat]

For me, heaven is the great bonfire in the sky where all of history's greatest musicians learn from one another. Built to Spill will be there in my vision, and I hope to earn a spot somewhere close to them. It'd be a pity to spend eternity without their music.

[@homerick8952]

I like that analogy

[@heather2956]

I feel the same way homie

[@TokenTombstone]

yeah dude!

[@jacqibritton326]

The instructor in this video leads such a happy life. I think that's what I get from this video mostly. He is living his dream. If only more of us had as much courage as he does, the world would be much more awesome.

[@HiGlowie]

Right? Imo, the instructor is the epitome of cool.

[@bsboneless1]

Sometimes i think to myself "i wonder how the mid evil guy from the built to spill video is doing" 😁

[@BrendenConway]

He's livin the dream.

[@mikequinlivan8842]

@@BrendenConway damn right!

[@419buckeye7]

Did they have a video where dudes were golfing on sky scrapers? Or was that modest mouse or something

[@419buckeye7]

NVM it's dinosaur jr

[@bsboneless1]

@Robert thanks grammar police

[@BlackHoon]

Should have millions of views! A modern classic in my opinion.

[@pluckyduck11y]

It's criminal how under-appreciated they are.

[@TokenTombstone]

@@pluckyduck11y 5 years later look at the trending list, its all trash

[@videogamess2143]

Literally just posted this to my underrated song 30 day music challenge

[@ashleymonday4386]

Absolutely

[@tattoofthesun]

This is an achievement in music history, the riffs, the hook, the solo, the video, the lyrics. An achievement worthy of every rocker to hear

[@MrWindmillHut]

I cried to this song, no matter how old u get, never stop doing what u love

[@Zach10k]

saw them last night, my ears are still ringing, and my brain is still melted. What an incredible band. Martsch 2012!

[@dannybursace9151]

I always get goosebumps to this song & the video takes it to whole another level...love when the instructors words "alright, alright" to go keep going for his dream

[@grossboy517]

this lead in the beginning is sooo mascisy! pretty much all ive listened to for the better part of the last year is dinosaur jr. Im fucking stoked i have found built to spill. Been on their youtube mix for hours now with no bad songs. just ordered there is no enemy. what a sound! and what a brilliant looking album cover. very cool video by the way, that old jouster is a badass

[@mithermage]

That little kid in the video is my good friend, Doug martsch's son!

[@mrprestoneable]

One of the best music videos of all time.

[@ericfoster8411]

This band is just too amazing. I can’t even begin to how many bands are heavily influenced by them. So many of the artists I’ve fallen in love with over the years definitely have some Built To Spill vibes

[@MorayEel]

One of the greatest songs ever

[@mattlrussell]

man, this song still does it for me every time, so many years later, hasn't seen an equal.

[@jubythemonster]

I found it again 🥹😭 still such a great song!!!

[@dirtmerchant1980]

just saw this jousting dude on an episode of auction hunters, they sold him some jousting equipment. just a genuinely coold dude. long live sir james.

[@trixonic6934]

This is still one of my favorite songs. I don’t mean to sound cliche’ but Who’ else is still listening to this in 2020?

[@whooshingintensifies5850]

I still play it on my piano.

[@drumcrusher]

thank you so much for your awsome efforts

[@Fonchezzzz]

How does this have so few views. This song is my hero

[@brotherchunkymusic950]

I'm a bit late to the Built to Spill party, but I'm catching up. I love this song. I think this is one of the most catchy guitar hooks I've ever heard !!

[@bugseater1]

This is definitely a great band. I love the music so much. Continue as long as you can.

[@ratsontherails]

That riff is like crack cocaine in a bunch of notes

[@patrickfurlong1330]

Big air deep snow and cliffs 360's off 15 foot kickers on hard snow memories is what this is 2024

I listen to this song every morning with a cup of coffee and my daily cigarette, its the thing i look forward to,

[@georgetheopemptou9949]

this video is so cool. As a rural Montanan, I truly hope that is a real guy doing that for real out here. The world is boring if not for different people! Love Built to Spill!

[@teemukokkonen9220]

This is incredible feeling the summer song :)

[@psychkosys]

Holy shit I love this song so much, how did I forget to listen to it for like 2 years?

[@bossrjc]

This is a great song.

[@Despondencymusic]

I love how their videos are like a short Tim and Eric film.

[@tbut155]

I hope this dudes still around, riding horses dressed in knights armor. What a legend.

[@DruSkaLive]

the guitar riff of a generation

[@theimperialmustard106]

great video - great band

[@marckusradon1248]

Not sure if I’m a bigger fan of the dude’s mustache or the fact that they’re driving a Chevy dually.

[@chainedriderlmt3796]

What a beautiful video. It was my first time seeing it.

[@ysgaisyih]

over the last 5 or so years i feel i've become a pretty big bts fan i own a pretty good cross section of their discography, i think i've watched every single live performance of carry the zero, i fucking love these guys. i still gotta say doug looks like snowball from clerks.

[@SteffieEhm]

One of my happy songs :)

[@motionsuggests]

i had a dream that this music video was in the middle of a direct to tv movie. a really corny stereotypical plot, rural country horse riding family vs evil industrialists on other side of the street. despite that this song was still very emotional to me during.

[@drunkass77]

I am so going to learn how to play this song. thanks for the post!

[@MundaneBacklot]

saying badbye to 2020 listening to this song

[@inerstate8]

Why is Doug the only one who gets a hug at the end? He just spent the entire time walking alone in the woods and slinking suspiciously around the guy's house. Dat's not justice.

[@waynedunn1108]

This band came up on google . Thought the first song I checked out was so so . This one's much better . Reminds me of Dave Grohl & the foo fighters . Not a bad song . Sydney Australia 🦘😊 19/9/2024

[@luccacamillo]

Can someone explain me what is the video and the song about? I can't decipher what he means by "embracing conventional wisdom in a world that's so unconventional", =s

[@sydneyesser-oneill6546]

+luccacamillo Its saying that things are always changing, and nothing can change that fact. But there are some things that never will change, like how we listen to and follow beliefs that have been passed down for many years. Basically looking at the world and wondering why some things are considered "conventional", and why others are not. What makes views that have been passed down for years correct?

[@StealY0urFace]

Jamming the FUCK out
