OH MY GOD I FINALLY FOUND IT ITS BEEN YEARS SINCE VSAUCE REFERENCED THIS AND I SPEND AGES TRYING TO FIND THIS SONG! ITS SO GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL!

[@SkeletonXP3]

Glad you could make it.

[@ploploplop]

Which video was it from vsauce?

[@danielaortiz8737]

5 years later, it's still being used in linguistics classes! :p

[@Dargonante]

This video posses so much more quality than today's generic pop hits. This deserve many, MANY more views.

[@KillerSockPuppet]

I have over 100,000 songs in my iTunes....this is easily one of the best. This deserves millions, no billions, of views.

[@YT_Rat]

how do you have 100,000 songs?

[@Xanjt17]

They showed this song in choir, man am I glad they did.

[@MeKakapoPerson]

I was really tempted to sing this when I had my mri scan!

[@bluebaronbulldogs]

A beautiful song that is haunting and very heart touching to me. I heard it on CBC last year when I had to travel to Nova Scotia due to the loss of my father. It gave me great comfort that morning when CBC did a story on Sivu and played this video. It gave me time to contemplate on how he was such a great man and all the good he taught me.

[@Mr_Jombles]

That's really touching as a reader. I realise that I'm responding to an eight year old comment, but even so, I first heard this song about five years ago and played it to my father at that time when I had to take him to hospital in an ambulance not knowing he'd be gone several weeks later. He, too, was a great man and taught me what a good person truly is and helped me realise how few of them there are. It never does stop hurting, but how lucky to have such a parent. Still miss you Dad.

[@seekthe9]

So glad I was able to find this again. And shout out to Michael and Vsauce for introducing me to this years ago

[@presidentrumi]

SAME i missed this song so much ;-; i remember watching and listening for hours in my freshman year.

[@seekthe9]

@@presidentrumi I think it was my freshman year too, of high school that is!

[@bluebaconjake405]

Same ;-: Vsauce introduced me to sivu and i listened to him for a while. Damn, the nostalgia lol

this is the greatest video I've ever seen in the past years. Just amazing

[@wasitintharaphromarat5497]

This song’s used as a good example in Phonetics class. 😍😍

[@azizsheriff1238]

Something inspires me to be a better man each time I listen to this. The better I get, the more I listen.

[@coyotethibodaux]

It’s working then!

[@HayashiManabu]

Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo… You can end this anytime you want to Just jump out of the window And feel your body break on the ground Or you can come a little closer Come ride my magic carpet And follow stars to Bethlehem You're such a better man than he [x4] We'll find faith in the most magical of places And find home in the smallest of rooms We'll find life in the most barrenness of faces And touch Christ in impending doom Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo… We can go anywhere you want to I don't really mind But follow the life on the moon A life of pain to do A curse from me to you You're such a better man than he [x4] We'll find faith in the most magical of places And find home in the smallest of rooms We'll find life in the most barrenness of faces And touch Christ in impending doom We're singing Heroes from your harsh dreams Allow me closer Signs from your palms read We're so much colder Ships sail out past the Persian coast To the edge of the world And I've died Lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo… You're such a better man than he [x4]

[@241photography8]

Photographed SIVU yesterday at Plymouth Pavillions. Interview beforehand. Great guy and this is brilliant

[@MerylKeioskie]

I find myself visiting this song from time to time. It has layers of meaning to me - it's akin to falling in-love. However, love insofar, that it's a transformative experience. What many people assume is "love" is "lust", the love here is more or less transcendental. Love, at its core, when one finds it, is like seeing a piece of the divine (for those not religious, it's talking about something 'bigger' than yourself). Love is not obsession, or possession. Love is something that transforms one, for the better. Reflected upon you, is all of your potential, even unconsciously from the imago (whether that be your significant other, or a deity/god-like figure). More or less, there's an idealism to the figure (the POV singing the lyrics) - that, despite his loss of hope, there lie the seed of wanting to believe again. Arguably, at its core, as with all art, it's all about individuation (integration of your shadow aspects). The lyrics of sailing to the edge of a coast, is more or less, to me at least, talking about one skirting on the edge of their unconscious - the ocean is a universal symbol of the deepest depths of one's psyche. There within, lies the realm of absolute potential. Limitless.

[@drzonlyjonas323]

"You can end this anytime you want to just jump out of the window and feel your body break on the ground or you can come a little closer Come ride my magic carpet and follow stars to Bethlehem" Those words really touch me, considering the dark place I'm in. Thank you Sivu. There is more to be appreciated before I kick the bucket

[@Miro_1325]

Hey pal, just checking you’re like still good.

[@djsandy303]

i forgot how much of a master piece this was

[@DietLemonlime7up]

Its not even that the song is inspirational, Its just beautiful to the ear.

[@throughcolouredglasses9300]

i wonder how many people have discovered this song because linguistik teachers show this to their classes when talking about how sounds are formed lol greetings from an english linuistic student in germany

[@lanabotwin162]

This song needs more views. Absolute perfection.

[@staginsuit5187]

If I could Id like it a thousand times.

[@Rakukuro]

this really deserves to be shared of facebook.

The science and magic of song, unified in one video.

16 people have no idea what music is!! this is so visually and musically appealing in so many ways

[@ender32486]

Please add this one to Spotify. I want to drive around Dallas, TX with this on repeat.

[@petriich0r]

My linguistics lecturer showed my class this today! Love discovering new music by the means of a greying old university professor who cracks bad jokes.

[@spencer9534]

i dont know whats better. the amazing idea for a video or the music.

[@Noneofthedays]

As someone who studies phonetics and phonology, I am deeply interested in this song! And what a great song it is!

[@SGSteeves]

The song means to say that man is greater than the sum of his parts.

[@Primo.Robledo]

Lo lo lo lo lo lo... You can end this anytime you want to Just jump out of the window And feel your body break on the ground Or you can come a little closer Come ride my magic carpet And follow stars to Bethlehem You’re such a better man than he (x4) We’ll find faith in the most magical of places And find home in the smallest of rooms We’ll find life in the most barrenness of faces And touch Christ in impending doom Lo lo lo lo lo lo... We can go anywhere you want to I don’t really mind But follow the life on the moon A life of pain to do A curse from me to you You’re such a better man than he (x4) We’ll find faith in the most magical of places And find home in the smallest of rooms We’ll find life in the most barrenness of faces And touch Christ in impending doom And we’re singing And here’s from the harsh dream Allow me closer Signs from the palms read We’re so much colder Ships sail out past the Persian coast To the edge of the world And I have doubt Lo lo lo lo lo lo... You’re such a better man than he (x4)
