Light Leaves - Why?

[@matthewfrandsen5496]

Getting old...this...helps with the remembers. So many things...from first hearing this to this moment. Places, people...new one's arrivals...old one's departures. Branches grow and bloom...others wither and die. Thank you Why? You have helped with the journey...smoothed out a few bumps along the way... padded the halls of personal madness...thank you.

Every couple years I come back to this song and video and get really, I mean really nostalgic. Cheers from Germany to all of you around the world who admire this masterpiece.

[@rumpusqform9981]

Was obsessed with this band in high school , came back to take a listen in 2020 almost 10 years ago since I listened to it . Still awesome

[@thisistheglasshouse]

its weird. This video shouldnt feel nostalgic but it inexplicably does.

[@sweetbbycherub]

bagged up in plasTIC, never to decompose or fertiliiiiizzeeeeeeee

[@autumnarenas9196]

This song has permanently altered my relationship with death

[@sgm981]

Embracing and loving the mortality salience that everyone has.

[@matthewhayes6806]

Mike. I miss you. Creating a masterpiece. I miss you Mike Hayes

[@withcarft163]

I'm sorry for your loss .. RIP Mike, this video has been on my screen too many times to count over the years... a masterpiece indeed

[@yvettegallardo3854]

[@FluxFreeman]

I have a lot of fond memories from this time peroid, saw them live at the Iron Horse and it was awesome

[@ACleverPseudonym]

Nick Nice Haha, me too. The Iron Horse around 2005-6, attending Hampshire College. One of the great evenings of my life.

[@Badasshalo]

One of my favorite songs

[@bleedingroze]

There’s no mound of clouds to lounge on.

[@andrewhayes1468]

I used to live there and the memorys

[@michaelhayes5601]

Andrew?

[@Fentoman]

yes?

[@6skateitup9]

that was my whole goal actually. I just wanted a simple video to convey a prfound message.. plus its easy shooting. :]

[@brittanyacker2530]

Each of these old light leaves is dirt, Barely held together by Tiny bone hands that used to be alive Holding hands Loose gripped At the deja vu dream scene end Of a lifelong relationship These light leaves Is my hair on the bathroom floor, My smaller selves down the sewer somewhere, Under berkeley, cincinatti, or on tour Airplane rear And hotel lobby ladies rooms: beware, As these light leaves bagged up in plastic, Never to decompose or fertilize When my balls are finally big enough to do it I don't want no casket, no saddle, No seethrough plastic mask, No casket, no saddle, No seethrough plastic mask And when I finally do it I wanna do the dirt Like the dead leaves do And if you do leave the earth When the earth leaves you Cold and hard as a marble table top With nothing on top, There's no hip-hip-hop-hooray Keeping Heaven's golden-barbed gateway, No bright confetti, high-step march, ticker tape parade There's no mound of clouds to lounge on, No mound of clouds to lounge on

[@vegankatzman]

[@6skateitup9]

Mabey a duet with someone?? No prob man, i'm really glad to hear that.

[@guffaw]

[@slotterfall]

This is the darkest suicide song ever. Thank you Why?.

[@6skateitup9]

same here man

[@xChemicalCobrax]

Fuck, these lads are talented

[@6skateitup9]

Thanks man

[@Emi212]

Where was this filmed? It's absolutely stunning.

[@6skateitup9]

Yeah it was just added into the recording.

[@jesserondinelli2086]

No see-through plastic mask

[@chadders319]

Echo Lake brought me here :)

[@6skateitup9]

No problem man.

[@petef15]

it's: no bright confetti, high-step march, ticker tape parade

[@khaleesica]

cool vid =) where do you live, it's pretty! lol

[@6skateitup9]

haha thank you =]

[@Toolshedthewatchdog]

WAS THIS IN WAUKEGAN!

[@Toolshedthewatchdog]

+Toolshed I have a picture of me when I was little standing right there 0:37

[@michaelhayes5601]

No it's in Lakemoor! lol Lake county still. I shot this video.

[@snicks0]

cool vid, i especially liked the area around 3:00. It was kinda random and didn't seem to have much meaning to the song. Makes sense though if it wasn't a music video

[@6skateitup9]

oh, thank you! Ill fix that.

[@mzkabn]

damn

[@6skateitup9]

Best song ever!! thankss I tagged it with porn because its equal to it =]

[@nahhandams]

take the "complete coincidence" info bar away. it takes away from the beauty of the vid

[@jwhubert91]

Imagine if I'd bought bitcoin in 2008 instead of whining along to Why in my high school library. I'd be a rich man today, listening to this contemplatively as I look out my Millennium Tower condo bay windows at the Bay Bridge watching my ship come in...

[@vaguezealot8396]

Did u get your condo

[@EctInc]

I always preferred to think about this song as an innocent perspective on sex; wanting to have unglorified, undemonized and unprotected love making.

[@steadie]

interesting reading. never thought of it that way but can see where youre coming from, commenter from 6 years ago.

[@shtickymayne]

this video needs a script or something. just a bunch of images bunged together. very average vid for a magnificent song

[@michaelhayes5601]

Yeah, I saw a music video of a camera just pointed out the window of a car. That was it. So I'm like, I can basically do that so it's better than staring at the album art. Also, in my defense, I was 15. Cheers!! Wow, just looked at the comment being 8 years old now.. wow this is old!
