"Will Sheff didn't want to sit. So he just stood, and played his song, like a lord walking down his small mountain. There were lots of cars around, but it was like we were alone with his song..."

amazing. this one and "no children" by the mountain goats are by far my favourite songs about breaking up.

[@SOYDEMONTERREY]

2019. Same old heartache...Yep, still missing her...

[@MegamanXLT]

Same brother. Same. It's been nearly a decade now

[@hefic]

Me also, here I am 10 years later, still thinking about her everyday, even though we both have families and kids and.. This song was one of first cures for my heart.

[@JordanAllenFilms]

I love, love, love this band

[@cowboyardee]

I'll stay in the same comfy town, write the same old songs down, drive the same streets seek the same sense of dull peace singing sweet words to chimneys Same walk by the road where the same ugly snow's finally leaving but I'll fight off the spring, I don't want lovely things, I don't want the earth new

[@moho69]

wow, I'm a metalhead and I have to say that this song is raw. Raw in it's best form. No beating around the bush. Just straight up and honest. Says exactly what every guy is thinking when left by a loved one. Subtle attack but, not a low-blow.

[@GeorgeMaj15]

I decided to listen to a song I heard at a dance, it has a similar theme-Miracle by Cascada. After listening to that song I decided I wanted to see this video, remembering how amazing I thought it was the first time I saw it. There is no comparison. After listening to Okkervil River and real folk music I have yet to find pop music or whatever you'd like to call it attractive at all. When something like this is written, perfected lyrics and real, heartfelt singing you can't help but tear up.

[@rmt1863000]

Wow. How have I listened to these guys for so long and missed this one? Absolutely incredible.

[@LaPieta2006]

It is an amazing song. Angry, beautiful, real.

[@ghostsax]

2:49 "C'mon, boys..."

[@TheTractormenvideos]

The lyrics to this song are AMAZING!

[@CoolHandLuke7]

The song to beat when it comes to broken relationships and bitterness.

[@P0W3RH0U53]

saw these guys in buffalo last night, and it was absolutely amazing, time to get all their stuff

[@mastorna]

and I thank you for doing these. They are making my day.

[@commonsense987]

this song makes me want to drop out of law school, get my heart broken somewhere, and take to the harmonica

[@11Angel33]

Hear, hear! LOL. That was bloody brilliant, man!

[@helenalizama]

este vídeo es una maravilla de registro

[@charms2]

[@violaine1979]

Very very cool.

[@headlightsunderwater]

I can't believe it took this long to find the song that manuscripted my life

[@ridamgame]

Oh yes, that angie is unforgettable and the white sand beaches in cancun.

[@justplainzach]

Wow. Did you shoot this? When? Where? And under what circumstances?

[@SOYDEMONTERREY]

A tad melodramatic, but my exact reaction when I heard this too.

[@centerstage707]

[@SOYDEMONTERREY]

Is it me or this is a touching song? P.D. I'll hate myself for writing this chessy comment but I miss you, Angie.

[@paigerose]

i can't find the lyrics to this song anywhere. does anyone have a link?

[@MicDollaBIll]

technically, he's not using the past participle of to stand because he's not using a compound tense. you're right, though; stood is the past participle of stand.

[@ghostsax]

@mathiasloir Will Sheff.

[@11Angel33]

lol. this is a year old but still funny!

[@hayheartrodd]

this video cuts out like a minute in for me

[@MnrThing]

I could've written that exact thing myself

[@commonsense987]

I miss you too, Angie. Boy, was the sex epic!

[@jimmydean2157]

FIRST 2014 COMMENT

[@mooglesarerabbits]

6/8, the best thing ever since amberleaf tobacco

[@SOYDEMONTERREY]

Something tells me I wont get over her...its been 5 years...new girls in my life have come and go...nothing changes...i need her back

[@cowboyardee]

I grow tired of this song, turn my eyes to the blonde in the bleachers she's a lovely young creature guess she's seeking adventure she's ready to see that the world ain't so sweet nor so tender I won't break her just bend her and make her into my new ringer for you

[@paigerose]

i would not want to be will sheffs ex girlfriend...

[@thatONEmachine]

As a man living that life...don't do it.

[@richardtorres5120]
