This song once gave me hope💗

[@jessieriossanchez2817]

How can anybody ever forget such an awesome one of a kind song? I never have, song I 💙!

[@wyro1741]

Had been going thru my head and just revisited. First time seeing the video, a real work of art. So vibrant and beautiful - thank you!

[@ccash11]

Fantastic song. Heard it on the radio and thought it sounded like them.

[@sc4887]

Beautiful art work, visually captivating video. Appreciate the hand painted frames and rotoscope animation.

[@ronman6]

Interesting. What I get from the video is adventure, and love. They face obstacles, yet they overcome them together. A very upbeat kind of theme, or feeling, or whatever it is that you may call it.

[@Kylegm42]

Wonderful video, never seen anything like it. Lovely song, thank you so much for the upload!

[@HillBrothersMusic]

Since catching them at the Horseshoe in Toronto in 2003 and buying Team Boo after the gig, I have enjoyed hours and hours of these wonderful artists. Keep climbing MOS!

[@bougieman]

I'm kind of addicted to this song. What a GRAND video, too!

[@AirbagDeployed]

I'm here b/c Mates have been rockin' SF for years... Looks like their at it again!

[@IvanRadovanovic]

I am amazed by the Grandness and Freshness of it.

Cool vid! I didn't know Kori Gardner knew the martial arts!

[@Mchand007]

this is exactly what i expected the vid to look like :D

[@theKCRoyalty]

[@themoochie]

I like it when Kori kicks the lion in its face.

You two fucking rock! thank you for this video!

this is in an icebreakers commercial! The one with Personal space and the taxi...

[@ThomasTheBanana]

Does me good to see my friends success

[@xyz-hv3iq]

the best!

[@schnautzch]

I have to say It's confusing how the video could ruin the song. Love the Bonneville in the beginning!! A little unclear on the lion attack but fantastic video and interesting to watch.

[@TheJobtate]

Lion attack and the drop kicks are a bit too childish.

[@Theswissparmasean]

Heard this on the ice breakers commercial :)

[@northerncorner]

I like it

[@iamthatgirl7239]

♥

[@Stickman470]

Why was this on nano mugen 😂

[@JimiJames]

@rodrigoandresgl well, everyones a critic. but not everyone creates. so cool.

[@oscartigwell]

Why does this look like shi- OH. 240P. There we go. Awesome vid, man! :D

[@JimiJames]

@sinixdesign THANKS FOR WATCHING SINIX!

[@mikengo380]

How does song relate to this video...? Like what is the meaning of the song with this video? Can someone explain..?

[@TheMindRobber42]

+Mike Young I don't know if you realized this yet, but music videos don't have to have anything to do with the song they were made for. Just a heads up in case you watch any more music videos ever.

[@kaitlinhessler3155]

I met them before

[@c.s.4428]

I met my newspaper delivery guy, once

[@jareddeguzman8444]

Has anyone heard the band lacrosse? ( 'You cant say no forever " " no more love songs" ) This band sounds like a way better version of them.

[@chibidrawing]

asian kung fu generation brought me here :>

[@c.s.4428]

Oh yes it did... it really did

[@xydtipaht]

Definitely not in hell and the morning drive was actually groovy.

[@r2b2istoo]

Try closing your eyes.

[@Burymeing0ld]

You know you’re not in hell

[@rodrigoandresgl]
