M. Ward : "Requiem"

[@RightHeadKick77]

THIS IS one of THE BEST songs i have ever heard. it remind me of so many men that i love and im close too, my grandfathers and my father. i will love them with all my heart until the day i die.

[@jbri1]

good to have good male role models :)

[@abbyanything]

I actually played this at my Grandpa's funeral last summer. I barely got through it, but it was the perfect song to remember such a good man. I wish I had let him listen to M. Ward when I had the chance, it's the kind of soulful music he would have appreciated.

[@ScreamingInTheCalle]

I always have the greatest eargasms listening to M. Ward's voice. (And I never fake it either.)

[@micahdferraro]

Favorite m ward song. Makes me cry when I hear it as it reminds me of my best friend and cousin Isaac who died in 2007. God bless m ward and all who appreciate his music

[@NotGreig]

Time flies don't it

[@hamdelsun]

playing this for my good, friend Wally....he was indeed, a good man.....

[@RightHeadKick77]

hell of a good song, i listen to She & Him a lot and i always forget that Ward is not only a hell of a guitar player but a singer as well.

[@lga1515]

missing a great man today... this song brings me comfort.

[@kosk11348]

SUCH an underrated song.

[@Cyrano66]

I love the message. I know he wrote it about his elderly father, but you could apply the message to anyone who's lost a loved one, even if the lyrics don't particularly describe that person. The song is not weepy or overtly sentimental. It's just a simple message. A matter-of-fact message. A let it be message. It actually put a smile on my face when I first heard it and thought of both my dad and mom, both gone.

[@joepa327]

M. Ward is the best songwriter of our generation. Hands down, no questions asked

[@BAZOOKATOOTH32]

Don't we/ haven't we all known a person like this... an awesome human being... excellent song.

[@muahahaha101]

I recently found M. Ward and my life has become that much better! I wouldn't be suprised if after listening to a few more songs he gets promoted ot my "top 5" list =)

[@JonathonBlakemusic]

This is amazing. I love this guys voice.

[@mqemphatic38]

This my friends is what is called subtle POWER! ... outstanding lyrics... simply outstanding!

[@mooseybwoy]

I'd strongly recommend doing that, this is on the album 'Post-War' which is incredible start to finish.

[@BurntByTheMoon44]

I can't remember when it was, but there was this live performance with Conor and M.Ward and Conor randomly screamed out "M.Ward for President!"

[@toniqa3]

Well he stomped with his feet And he clapped with his hands He summoned all of his joy when he laughed It suffered all of his joy when he cried And sometimes when he got into talking Man he could rattle on and on He was a good man and now he's gone Well in war he was a tiger When it was over like a dove He summoned all of his strength in the climb It suffered all of his strength in the fall And sometimes when he got into talking Man he could rattle on and on He was a good man and now he's gone He put his trust in a higher power He held his power like a holy grail He summoned all of his faith in the lifting It suffered all of his faith fail His heart was stronger than a heavy metal bullet And that's why I dedicate this song He was a good man and now he's gone His heart was stronger than a heavy metal bullet And that's why I dedicate this song He was a good man and now he's gone

[@skly24]

id say they both are equally amazing. nothing even comes close to them. plus (i can't wait for this) conor announced awhile ago that he and m ward were going to have a band together. SWEET

[@baltimorestyle007]

I LOVE this song... M. Ward is one of the greatest artist out there!

[@dsleeperhold]

JJ is a king of guitar, his lyrics are some of the most touching and aesthetically potent words to be sung...ever. and that can be said of M. Ward just as much, these two need to tour. I saw Mward last night. They both rock, you should check some brushfire fairytails

[@bjmarciano]

A person on a messageboard introduced me to this on IMDb (I made a thread basically asking folks to introduce me to some new stuff since I have a very eclectic music taste that pretty much includes every general genre.) I favorited it before the song was even over. :) Love it.

[@CaptBlackSheep]

Beautiful song. Beautiful video.

[@qbone20]

This song rocks! Reminds me of my Grandpa, he was a good man and now he's gone.

[@esteban578]

Damn this makes my insides come out man

[@sidnomis1]

@electronicspark me, too! listened to it over and over after the funeral... miss him dearly.

[@hnming]

I wanted to play this at my granddad's funeral but the relatives said it was too loud. FML.

[@soutyz1211]

:((

[@jjeKKell]

This is the perfect "Grandad song" for anyone you actually respect.... even if they've become someone who can't respect themselves

[@lulakirby]

M. ward is great. I'd recommend his album, Post War, to anybody.

[@Dynamaso]

Forget the UN or any other international consortium of politicians. Keep it simple and vote for M. Ward as the first International President of the World. He is truly the first great musician and voice of the 21st Century.

[@aholden12592]

amazing video. m ward is amazing

[@davedunlap77]

wow. this song is flat out amazing!

[@tehwakokiid]

this has got to be my favorite m, ward song

[@meanwhilemania]

l love this guy, and this song is particularly amazing. wow

[@godofspacetime333]

Just listened to this song with headphones for the first time..wishing I had done it sooner.

[@adalsi]

I love this song. And he's here in Salt Lake today. YES!!!

[@Ranaldo20]

I love this song! Makes me miss my pop!

[@mooseybwoy]

I don't think it's a terrible thing to say at all, it just means the music is soothing and relaxing!

[@TheEmma23p]

this reminds me so much of my grandfather RIP to a great man

[@Selnavi]

I really appreciate this song. Remindsy of my grandfather

[@LenMacHarStaBEAT]

i absolutely love this song

[@Mooch1124]

HIS HEART WAS STRONGER THAN A HEAVY METAL BULLETTT i fucking love that part

[@jasonking5885]

Some of the best talent ever in the same leagues with Dylan Neil Young and the light it's just something you can't put into words just have to appreciate the writing the play talent and gift

[@Ranaldo20]

One of the best songs of 2006

[@fryewriter]

Awesome lyrics!!!!

[@WESSYS]

This just made me cry!!!!:-(amazing thou...

[@feeneythefiend]

good video, great song.

[@paddlequest]

Amazing video, great work!

[@omgitsclassical]

great music!

[@shadrussell]

I wish more people had motivation to make music like this - thats why Portland has such potential - I hate all the mass produced crap that comes out - long live originality

[@aaaSilviaaaa]

Thanks...very beautifull!

[@clntmagee]

Incredible.

[@WTFTW]

Powerful and touching.

[@MakzPlayground]

This song reminds me of my grandfather, it's kind of a amazing. And the cinematography is really well done. =)

[@sidnomis1]

i don't understand why there's not 336,712 likes... boggles my brain!!!

[@joepa327]

I used to think that. But M. Ward's albums have been more consistent. His songs go beyond love loss. Conor just recently started to expand beyond his usual subject matter. But Wide Awake and Lifted are still incredible albums.

[@rps5891]

great video! There is somethin so hopeful about his music

[@BustedHeart]

Favorite song off the new album.

[@fallalott]

Really good one.

[@AlishLee]

valla graciias me gusta m ward

[@Mooch1124]

[@barbales]

[@WillBraden]

[@Camothor10]

I fuckin love this song

[@TheL8rGamer]

R.I.P. Sam we miss you!!

[@shadrussell]

THANK YOU!! - M. Ward is a total throwback to the greatness music use to be, and could be - fuck Jack Johnson... can you say major chords?

[@mwtillotson]

@Dynamaso I can agree to disagree if you prefer M. Ward's style over Oberst's, but if we're talking about substance, Connor is untouchable.

[@jackrowet1234]

Glorious, call it what you want, I hear Blind Joe Death in deh... hahaha sweet.

[@reilidee]

the rockin accordion :)

[@emilypeart789]

M. Ward must be the father of the lead singer for Horse Bones. They sound eerily similar. Check out the song Colusa. Weeeiiirrd.

[@mrfresh9900]

muey bien!

[@valverdista]

There's no doubt this video was shot in Barcelona.

[@skateHEAVEN1212]

@ThePeckerwood310 M. Ward's music usually cures that.

[@TheSchoolsux345]

man what kind of guitar is that in the beggining

[@kapitolkitties2149]

Just got turned on to this cat. Totally dig him. : ))-

[@allinink8077]

better late than never man

[@TheCage132]

@BurntByTheMoon44 what did conor say?

[@mzzlouie]

Bliss man. That's all I got.

[@chloeisbleu]

digging the old man's glasses.

[@mwtillotson]

@LivesUnderABridge Of course it's subjective. I love "Chinese Translation," but I find nothing upsetting about stating my opinion in response to others'. I'm not looking for an elaborate debate--I'm happy to see others with great taste.

[@bossrob7857]

Wow

[@1tsyB1tsy]

NO way! Soulja boy is the greatest american artist ever!! (im seriously joking, I completely agree with you). ROCK ON M. WARD!!

[@DEVB0T]

Uncle anwar to a T. Miss the crazy ol' bugger.

[@Javierzapata1]

Good

[@rafael.samora]

Granpa!

[@MadamKamikaze]

The add that came on for me was the video "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service. Fuck yeah; sponsored by subpop records.

[@bossrob7857]

Send this out to k boogs

[@isolationeitheror]

he was a...... man and now he is gone.

[@aCtivesh00ter]

well this song helps you face death and remember the good days

[@BManStan1991]

lmao the advert on this is good... for once? o.o???

[@sidnomis1]

@Mooch1124 dude, i like the first 2 minutes and 48 seconds of it!!!!!! ;)

[@Samura1gamer]

U will RESPECT and FEAR SAMURAIGAMER
