Chad VanGaalen- Willow Tree

[@cruelaz]

I found his CD randomly on a flea market in berlin. One of the best things I've got for a euro. So dark, so beautiful

[@ebenezershabazz4793]

thats awesome

[@BeyondTheMind007]

super awesome! I do this also, grab random weird looking cd's at op shops or garage sales, that look interestingly weird. Then listen the shit out of it. Also find random good shit on them. So many muso's out there with strange good music, just have to find them.

[@winasideways]

give you €5 and can pick it up anywhere within the ring ahah

[@retrosauce]

Beautiful

[@jo89k41]

I use to know a girl who loved this song. I fell in love with her. Its been a long-time, but i haven't felt that way with anyone since.

[@BeyondTheMind007]

Did she find you and she killed you?

[@ArcherAC3]

@mase ofspades Wrong song? xD

[@ceejsturr4828]

I understand. I had the love of my life and i was a young boy who didnt appreciate her . I will miss her forever, i cannot forget her and i dont want to. I am comfortable knowing she was the one and i messed up. I appreciate the time she gave me. She cannot be mine so i love her alone and never bother her

hey man did you find someone else yet?

[@tinntinnamp]

Chad VanGaalen is my favorite artist, and this is my favorite song. Gives me chills every time I listen to it. He is so talented and you know he does music for himself, and not everyone else (by that I mean not mainstream music, as I know his music probably touches a lot of people).

[@josephkrueger3712]

hipster

[@tinntinnamp]

Hipster? Not sure what you mean. But thanks for trying to generalize. I can like music without being put into a category. He has way more music than this song and they all are great. Do I have to like popular music? No so stop trying to label people.

[@maraharris9783]

+Lauren R I absolutely agree. People should be able appreciate talented artists, that are not well known yet, without getting generalized or labeled as something.

[@bradynbassett8814]

Excessive fame tends to go to peoples heads, and then it stops being about the music. Another hidden gem ❤

[@Stewiegriffinist]

This man needs more publicity, or whatever it's called. I think everyone should get to know this wonderful music artist.

[@ladynonnah7332]

2023 and I listen to this song regularly.

[@algireaux1364]

Another one to put on my list of songs for my funeral.

[@sonnyobrien]

I know I'm not the only one who still returns to this video a decade later: whenever life brings me hardship, and I'm going through the rafts to reach the calm.

[@sniicks]

wow i used to listen to this song and show my friends and they would be like whoa are you ok still love it 8 years later...

[@BYD801CG]

Everytime I play this song since back in the day me and my homies be drunk crying screaming this song :) thank you so much

[@ianstuka]

best hand-made video I ever seen so far, it really made my day to know that there is still people who works selflessly for the others fun! Thanks you man!

[@vi0letly]

Nicole Dollanganger's cover of this is amazing ♡

[@ArtDrumz]

This song is so incredibly beautiful but also so dark! What an awesome combo! :P

[@lot000]

It feels like I'm in the heaven and trippin' in other worlds... I love this song so much...

[@andruwingram848]

You should make more videos. This is great and it's my favorite Chad vangaalen song

[@Braindiktator]

What a "bitter" sweet song, it`s like live itself.

[@lilisigel]

Great artist Chad VanGaalen. Thank you !

[@KhorBaPeaceComesFromWithin]

heard this when it came out, been looking for it ever since. glad I found it, good song

[@jen8rve]

This is weirdly charming- both the song and the artwork which I love. I was looking for willow trees and I found you. (smile)

[@jmalko9152]

Awesome! Thank you for this video.

[@taigeist9573]

my friend adam just listens to this song all day everyday i dont know why

[@lot000]

Adam from heaven ? :D

[@thepeacefulhappyandbountif2041]

He might be depressed. Try to help him.

[@-thesignpainter9486]

How's adam doing?

[@ryanrockers]

lovely animation

[@toddums]

Chad is amazing, you should see him live

[@vinnievoet1846]

Found this song by the cover of Great lake swimmers singer Tony Dekker. Thank Tony again for this discovery 💜

[@salt1023]

So sad and happy I just thought of it and listened to it and realized how much I like it

[@javipanca]

amazing song and the video is awesome too, took a lot of time, my respects, thanks

[@FandangoJon]

Found this today. Just when I needed it most.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

[@jasonritchey9813]

[@RushhGaming]

Truly amazing how fast you age. I am so fucking drunk.

[@fredriknerli9197]

Thank you for this comment

[@jonathonfizdiz]

Are you still drunk?

[@sumoaudio5164]

Me too, friend. Me too...

[@meddlesomemusic]

Wonderfully absurd comment

[@theonejokeking3191]

Same. BUT, I have been trying to find this guys songs for YEARS, so it least this time of being drunk I finally did figure out his name :)

[@xdeadlyeaglex]

I agree, effect or not the it's jarring and that takes away from what is a very good video.

[@Elizastardut]

como recuerdo esos dias lluviosos y depresivos hacia la escuela..........wow

[@otherpatrickgill]

something about this song makes it great accompaniment to caffeine withdrawal

[@weumumaway]

:) So glad I discovered this guy,

[@FryPanMusic]

Glad I found this before I die. thank yes you.

[@violencnoviolet]

Listening to this in 2020.

[@rileyg8291]

You are a rare specimen

[@ZombifiedGuitarist]

any song about dying gets me all giddy for some reason. /adds song to playlist Plus, viking burials are the most badass way of being buried.

[@Offi6]

[@nicccolemarie]

[@ailish10]

Whenever I listen to this song I always think of Cecilia Lisbon

[@garagestar22]

woww such a beautiful song,, a bit depressing but nowadays thats the kind of stuff i listen to

[@blorg5359]

This is a lovely animation

[@sambarber3835]

[@chaoslynn]

[@junebug19572000]

Thanks cailynnnnn

[@aazlite]

This song is so interesting.

[@TheAngryChav]

this is fucking mint. check out slow club's version as well, they harmony it up a bit.

[@MaxAveris]

anysong like this from Chad or any other underrated artist , where its chill and not much musical instruments?

[@vancityguy]

Artist reminds me of Neil Young.

[@Treehamallama]

cute.

[@killdistortion]

great song. Did it take you very long to do the animation?

[@theonejokeking3191]

I FINALLY FOUND THIS SONG F*CK ☺️

[@shadowgirl11]

cool song, but it is very sad.

[@xxrosexx7357]

I love a cover by Nicole Dollanganger so i'm here to hear the original version ❤️

[@chazfinster8730]

I WAS THE WILLOW!

[@joeyjack79]

This song always makes me misty.

[@Freeegoo]

Funny. Chad brought me here...

[@fastheinz039]

Grat stuff...sounds like Neil Young has had some influence on the 'newer' generation.

[@babyfishmouth-sweepingnations]

wiiickkkeddddd...!!! ^_^

[@CrisStylez04]

damn that is depressing, but beautiful

[@SunCountryMusic]

If anyone is interested in underground bands, and have time to spare, see what you think about my friend's band, Sun Country. I've been filming for them a bit and would love any kind of feedback!

I heard a version of this on the radio sung by a woman. If only I could find it...

It wasn't Slow Club's cover? I haven't heard the recorded version but I believe it was a b-side.

this video is gaying up the song a bit too much..

[@danhule]

6 dislikes? really?

[@etola92]

The only thing im confused about is why does chad look like a snobby french guy in the video?

[@fabulouslyolivia]

@hufer95 I didn't know videos could have sexual preference
