Almost 14 years later and this masterpiece is finally about to reach 1 million views. I don't care if I have to listen to it 1000 times, it will reach 1 mill.

[@kayleethegi5894]

im there with you my friend, i always come back to this, and no one said it would be easy.

[@ovaerd]

It's one of the first videos I ever favorited. Best wishes.

[@_jajajaja_]

Only just discovered this band in 2024, and this is quickly becoming one of my favourite songs ever

[@GatsbyMyself]

Check out the entire album “Love”. One of their best. And the song “You were born.” Be well.

[@_jajajaja_]

@@GatsbyMyself I'm slowly working my way through their catalogue. Happy Hippo album is amazing. Transistor radio...

[@erichunter3936]

Who is here in 2022? One of my absolute favorites.

[@Koroblin]

i love to see cloud cult still get love over the years, they've been my fav band sense the first time ive heard them.

[@_luckicharms]

I still love this version as much as I did 13 years ago!! I love these guys even more though ;)

[@TerenceReis]

Dude..., yes, God, it's been almost one year since I first heard this song and it still makes me want to cry every time I hear it. God what a beautiful song.

[@theirishpiratequeen]

I have never been able to find the words to describe the feeling this song invokes. Flawless.

[@Dannyboysraceshit]

Maybe try a Dictionary?

[@TerenceReis]

My 1st comment here was 15y ago - and to this day I keep returning to this song whenever I’m in need of beauty.

[@bigeyejim]

This song straight up gives me chills.

[@Hirome_Satou]

This is my favorite song by these guys, Brilliant lyrics, and that drummer and the violinist are freaking amazing.

[@rglovesu2]

This is one of the most underrated bands out there. Thank you for posting this - it made me a Cloud Cult fan.

[@beherenow1972]

This song has blasted me to another level of feeling/being since I first heard it six years ago. Thank you for being who you are.

[@Totes108]

"Thank you for being who you are." More people should hear this. Good one.

[@cowabungask8r]

Have another listen and get blasted back 12 years! Love the climactic finish!

[@lucidexistance1]

I heard this 15 years ago. Lol. You don't matter. Lmfao.... I'm lonely and wish the best for you

[@Dannyboysraceshit]

There are some serious hippie dippie sappy sods in the Cloud Cult Universe man whoooweee! Lol!

[@atasteformusic]

I can feel the power in this song. It's so easy to imagine one's self in one of their concerts, surrounded by people with the same mentality and emotions, all reciting the lyrics with the band.

[@kellypotter3720]

We saw them in Wisconsin this summer & they opened with this song. Instant tears in my eyes, such an emotional song. Love this band!

[@jacksonrocky2893]

They sang this song at a memorial for 3 young sisters that lives were taking way too soon in WI. This is why I love this band. They have compassion, they understand loss, and they have HOPE.

[@alissawyle]

Cloud Cult changed my life.

[@PeteFoaleArtist]

13 years ago, first heard this, still as good now!

[@jdhannan]

That is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my life. Like seriously, #2 or #3.

[@jeffmoir1]

Just a post to bring this up the algorithm. This is such a beautiful band, song, and performance. Many years after hearing this for the first time, this is still a favourite

[@bufaluKK]

I love the fact that most of Cloud Cult's songs are so beautiful

[@hap246]

so much talent and pure music its a treat to listen to,at last songs you can understand....

[@TheIndyace02]

There's a sadness to the violinist/singer. I know this song is about a loss. I pray for whoever is hurting. Saw you in indy a few summers ago with my 2 daughters. Had a great time. A memorable time. Thank you

[@julianskowron6131]

The lead singer and his wife (the violinist) lost their baby. Its a sad story, and a recurring theme in their earlier music.

[@nowhereman161]

the members of cloud cult are seriously the nicest people you could meet

[@Drive_Far_Away]

Heard this song way way back love it too this day . Your 8th birthday gets the tears flowing as well lol

[@eraguse]

I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Literally every single time.

[@DanielFerrellMusic]

Can't get over how beautiful this is.

[@cmarndt2]

Love this song. Makes me think of my mom (rip)

[@lightyears717]

me too

[@islandtreasure67]

Cloud Cult, you are so amazing and inspiring in the most indiscribable ways. Your music has shaped so much the person I am today and though your pain will never fully be my pain your happiness is mine! Your incredible success is so heart warming, keep up the amazing music an lyrics and I will NEVER stop listening. There is so much love in this universe and I feel it in every song you give. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@Hirome_Satou]

Wow, I really didn't expect these guys to be so amazing... Thank you Esurance comercial!

[@coyotesong]

for what it's worth, I'm on the far side of 50 and I can tell you this is a great song....from a very talented group.

[@csalzwedelkemp]

My Brother gets to see them live in Portland i wish i could go, they give me so much inspiration.

[@cowabungask8r]

Friggen E-surance commercial 13/14 years ago led me to Cloud Cult with “Lucky Today”, their songs still move me like the first time I heard. And yes, FINALLY a million views. Fuck it, imma share this right now.

[@arriecohen2672]

My favorite

[@SevenLivelySins]

This song gives me that light headed feeling of listening to beautiful music that reminds you of that one girl that you love with all of your heart.

[@jajw98]

This song chokes me up. So much feeling in it.

[@mindyw.9741]

My husband asked me to marry him to this song. We listen to many different types of music. One day we were traveling early in our relationship, and I recognized the singers voice. I didn't know anyone else who knew cloud cult. I said, "is this cloud cult?!" he was like WAIT you know who they are! 5 years later he asked me to marry him to this song. We also had chemicals collide worked into the day!

[@tapatton9]

Anyone else find this because of Steve from the Sneeze? Don't eat it, Steve!!! That was a pretty good time in the world.

[@DanNinjaMan]

Love the violinists expressions while singing... just adds something.

[@Kinewa]

I definitely agree. It's like their music is for more than just the ears.

[@shawnhorkheimer9280]

- I luv your band.- You guys are so Awesome . The Violin really captures the state of beauty within who you all are as a unit !.

[@p4tr1ckM]

This whole album is in honor of the Lead singers son. His son died six years ago, after his sons death, he left for isolation writing hundreds of songs. The albums name is Meaning of 8. On the date of release the son would be 8 years old. Also track 7 "Your 8th Birthday" is about his son, the corus is simply his sons name Kaiden. And on track 8 its a song about death "dance for the Dead". If you enjoyed this give it a thumbs up

[@AquariusStarchild]

This is musical GOLD.

[@JackLackluster]

What a BEAUTIFUL song (wipes tears off cheeks) I never woulda dreamed that Erin the Esurance girl would turn me on to great music.

[@endr117]

not underrated- unnoticed. no one who actually hears them doesn't like them.

[@cptnjess]

God, this made me cry. This is fantastic.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Such a great song. Cloud Cult deserve a greater following.

[@jtmnt]

[@danijel771]

[@meeshalien]

I agree 100%. They are both beautiful, but something about this one really gets me.

[@Saharashii]

I agree, it sounds fantastic live.

[@dyeizzon]

I don't understand why this video only got 728,900 views. This is masterpiece

[@yellomoth]

If you like this, you should see them in concert. They are super awesome. You'll definitely get your money's worth.

[@thaddeuses2279]
