In all honesty, this may be the saddest music video I've ever seen. Right there, watching the band breaking up. Raw.

[@Mogernaut]

These big top shows were inspiring. A moment so bright and so beautiful that it made sense that it couldn't last that long. Like a summer love, you remember for the rest of your life.

[@trevanwillowbuffiii9624]

' I saw that you and forever have been free, but life got too heavy, and I fell into a dream." Yes!!!!

[@Fulhamzimmer]

The surroundings and the vintage feel to this video is incredible!

[@generalcrustard0311]

Man what a great song. Such an underrated band.

[@sufibren4885]

I wonder why no one's talking about the lyrics and it's meaning?

[@madelynng.w.8333]

Agreed

[@nicelady8165]

Love is gone my friend, the spark has died there is no more. How tender the last kiss was. Farewell to thee my love undying.

[@larkellencircle]

we were there that day for the first showing....what an amazing show. I think watching my daughter's reaction to the whole circus was completely worth the price of admission. Even after almost a year we still talk about it. This band is amazing!

[@ttowelie]

During the whole video Jade doesn't say a single word and looks so thoughtful. Hope she is doing good now

[@Ichewfrogss]

Yeah no kidding

[@RobBuser123]

Soul Pancakes...The Kid President AND now ....Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros ... AWESOME!

[@saschaw9017]

One of my faves from Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros :D Have a great day folks!

[@leobrandao6767]

Breaks my heart to see Jade so quiet and lonely.

[@Schickymicky1]

Maybe she has e Depression?

[@DynastyJr]

Im back time after time. Find myself coming back to this song since i first heard it in 2013. :')

[@liammurphy2725]

This guy showed me I could love again.

[@22hogfan94]

Saw these guys at Wakarusa!!! Never been so happy during a set in my life :)

[@nicelady8165]

we are all individuals who have our own roads, we need to respect and celebrate these truths.✌

[@Ziamerican]

The lyrics definitely show the light, who is Jesus! God bless!

[@Fernandaql]

Oh my god, I've started listening to them a week ago and I'm totally in love and then soulpancake posts a video of them? So happy! Great way to start my dayy

[@Aurongel]

The gentleman on stilts with the umbrella is my spirit animal.

[@lilamos2390]

I'm playing this song 3-4 times a day.

[@FilmArtPhoto]

That puppet show.... amazing! Beautiful light in this video, too!

[@bawbagbill]

A wordsmith of the finest degree. Thank you sir and your merry men.

[@hannah3528]

Love this... everything about this is great! Love the outfits. My great grandpa's family were a traveling show family ;) Instruments, acting... I just wish I had more pictures from then and this makes me think of them :) Thanks Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros!

[@liese3012]

[@Samisinthecity]

[@bjorkfan2004]

i love this so much. the song, the scenery, everything. it takes you away from that fantastical happy world of the magnetic zeros and just creates something so beautifully melancholy.

[@LostGingerAle]

I love this band & I love SoulPancake!

[@TheChicagoMichelle]

[@pablososa3514]

Buena música, vengan a Paraguay Edward Sharpe!

[@JLucas94]

3:28 great moment

[@scarymanatees]

J Lucas I agree

[@ConstantiaOomen]

Yes, you only see this if you dive into the band's history. A love story turned a little sad. If you don't know this band and/or their history, you probably won't see it at all. But he is looking at her alright, and she is not smiling. She's trying to sway along, so not to disrupt the recording of this clip, but her very contagious, big smile long gone.

[@UkuleleRoadTrips]

haunting so great

[@elisabethevans7049]

This. Is. Amazing. Seriously though!

[@susanhumans3415]

Loverly loverly loverly!

[@Hangpor]

luckiest man on earth

[@qqssaa]

[@snowzillaaa]

Love Edward Sharpe!

[@mouniabarakat912]

simply wow

[@evaforever3114]

Текст песни If I were free I would run into battles with flowers and hugs And bow at the boots of our well-oiled thugs Yes, if I were free If it were me I would yell out "I love you!" to all I passed I would disrobe and disco and rip off my mask Yes, if I were free I'd be the 'U' that crossed the 'i' to simply 'b' Minding our reflections at the bottom of the sea What did you see? I saw that you and I forever have been free The light became too heavy and I fell into a dream What did you dream? I dreamed a wind that would sweep Every castle made of sand Out across the old far holy land Oh, if this were free If this were free We'd be free of the terror of the graves And fear masquerading as the brave Oh, if this were free I woke upon a pig of red, white and blue The circus got too heavy so we fell into the zoo What did you feel? I felt the fear that every queer does in his head First thing to starting over, I made sure I was dead What did you dream? Swimming with ancients, laughing, tired of getting lost We took our left, remember, when we leaned upon the cross What did you see? I saw that you and I forever have been free The light became too heavy and we fell into a dream

[@CarolBelvet]
