These are the kind of videos that I would imagine for songs growing up like Tori Amos or A Perfect Circle songs then they go and make some trashy video like they did for the Outsiders. something I never would have pictured for the song.

[@archie_woods]

I love the parallels between this video and Part 3 (Gloria). Both Junior and Gloria are being shown kicking the door in and rushing to the car and carrying their loved ones to save them from a head injury. Also the fact, that they both end up leaving the person they wanted to save in the car, because of the police arriving, running away to the field to save themselves. Beautiful and creative way to end the amazing story of the Sparks family tree.

[@Lostdwarf]

Yes!! 💯 nailed it!!

[@pamelaturini7808]

i don't believe gloria's husband was her loved one judging by how she left him and jimmy. i see the opposite: gloria running away from the mess she made and junior really carrying his loved one, the person who besides it all, was there for him and tried to raise him. and also, she didn't even think twice before leaving her husband, while jimmy is begging junior to go and live his life.

[@gabrieldeodato7973]

@@pamelaturini7808 I trully believe that Gloria loved her husband, but she knew the troubles that she cause to him. When the car crashed, the first thing she do is to see if him was alive, and when she sees the cops coming, she knew that he would be fine, and then she left, not because she don't loved him, but because she didn't want to cause any more troubles to him

Thank you to the Lumineers for always pushing the boundaries and making extraordinary music, you continue to blow me away ❤️

[@perlamatias47]

Yes! And the symbolism of him burning the piano, he was breaking the generational curse. The only reason Junior left Jimmy was because he said "its ok, go" Gloria left her husband out of selfishness, Junior was ready to start over. Jimmy wanted better for him, and let him go, the exact opposite of what his mother did.. Gloria's husband reached his hand and wanted her to stay in the same cycle.

[@abbsc9085]

I think my heart broke in every song in this album, but when junior came home with the money to help his dad with his gambling debt it shattered into a million pieces 🥺😭 especially because I thought he had abandoned his dad in the end of Jimmy sparks 🥺 I have no words!

[@garymizenko2698]

I am going to add a comment which is tough but very real. This song is very much makes me think of my daughter. I am sure no one will read this but this is our story. My daughter was born with stage 4 neuroblastoma stage 4 cancer. After 6 years of chemo and in and out of the hospital multiple times she survived thank God. Then fast forward 13 years her mom dies of breast cancer and she is filled with emotion. She can’t leave her room in fear that she will certainly die of Covid. She stays in her room not going to school not joining the v real world for 2 years. Her dad sends her to a psychologist and he prescribes mother meds. She feels that ever cough she well die every stomach ache will die and her only hope her only friend is her dad who works with her through the anxiety and the many sleepless nights. So when I hear this song as the dad I think of b this song it really fits. Sad but true. Life can be crazy sometimes. Like is said I am sure no one will read this or believe me but it is real. Just a family deaking with real world problems.

HUGE REGRET. missed kings of leon, too. what kind of fucking moron was I? How strong was that damn acid?? why wasnt it fun that time! Why do I still see colors everywhere!

[@leviismyoppa967]

The most heartbreaking thing for me is that Jimmy, having worked as a prison ward, knows what happens to young vulnerable men in jail. That's why he's so desperate to have him run away.

[@ChaoticallyMe]

I love how deeply human these characters are. The Lumineers didn't just paint these 'addicts' as heartless monsters not worthy of empathy, but as flawed yet believable people like you and me. In Gloria, despite the addiction that is quickly consuming her whole being...we still see the love she has for baby Jimmy...the way Gloria looks at him as she holds him...the way she reaches for him when she gets home from the hospital... We also see how much love her husband has for her despite her alcoholism. Fast forward and Jimmy clearly loves his son...despite Jimmy's bad behaviour, he worked to support Junior, he stuck around when Bonnie left...he did his best despite addiction creeping in on him bit by bit as the years went on (starting with the gambling to pay for medical care for Junior...then the alcohol...the drugs...associating with dangerous people...)...he still managed to hold it together long enough for Junior to reach adulthood. Finally in Salt and the Sea, we see Jimmy tell his son to run as the police close in...despite his potentially fatal head wound that needs medical attention he sends Junior off (hopefully to freedom)... In Leader of the Landslide, Junior looks frustrated and completely over the kinds of people his father associates with...but in April and Salt and the Sea we see that Junior loves his Dad and maybe believes that if he steals the money, pays off the debts then maybe this brush with death will finally be enough to straighten Jimmy out... ...sadly there's no happy ending...but real life isn't a Disney movie...

I feel like this song represents two halves of a whole. If you have ever gone through the dark night of the soul, suffered with illness, ptsd, depression, addiction, and other similar conditions, you know that there are two parts of you. The dark and the light. The good days and the bad. This song seems to me that it's about your light side talking to your darkside.

I love how informative and thoughtful all the comments here are ,but here are a few things I couldn't keep to myself There's a cinematic parallel drawn between this video and the one released for the song ' Gloria ' wherein Gloria's husband rushes out to take her to the hospital and leaves Jimmy behind simply because he isn't his child. We observe Jimmy being abandoned by various important people in his life ,his parents being the first one and then his wife bonnie , here he is again shown alone. Jimmy sits in the car alone like the abandoned child he once was. Even though the whole family's story is upsetting but the person my heart aches the most for is - Jimmy .

[@LourensKeyser]

My late Wife said in early 2020 that this song has the Zeitgeist of 2020 for her. Prophetic words since in hindsight it 100% summed up her journey with cancer and it taking her from us later that year. The part thar hits me the most as 100% what happened in her last days.. litterally : “And they wrote all these prescriptions, they wrote me off Like a heel Yeah, the doctors with their medicine left me To rock in my filth”

[@Chemically_boosted_Camille]

Addiction can “run in the family” absolutely. However it’s more so the psych disorders that “run in the family” or are combined. Education is key.. I never wanted to be my father…then realised he is an amazing person with struggles… I also have struggles

[@RafaelOliveira-pc9mx]

I think it's amazing how history made us think that the generational suffering of this family was related to the piano (which actually represented Glória), and when Junior burns him, we think that he is changing the family's direction, which is not the case . Because generational suffering begins in Donna (Mother of Glória), and the representation of this was never the piano, but the house, which was built by Donna (Construction focused on video 1). Realize that the house is always involved with family problems, all generations have never abandoned it. If one of them broke the cycle, semiotics would be related to leaving home, which does not happen. In the end, Junior only burns the piano, but returns home, ending up as Glória.

From the prospective of a man who was once the lover of a woman in a turbulent relationship. The two were passionate and they gave each other amazing amounts of comfort and strength. But they ended abruptly and he’s hurt badly. But his feelings never changed. Hers did. She gave up on him and turned her back on what they had. She tries to move on from what they had but her feelings linger and he knows it. He reflects on his pain and their relationship. Verse 1&2 reflect on their time together. Chorus and Verse 3 reflect on their time apart. Verse 1: She goes on acting like her significant other saved her and brought her out of her “darkness”. But it was his love that saved her. He held her in the night and comforted her on the “back staircase” while she was alone and broken. “All the destruction and all the disease” was her current relationship that she couldn’t escape. She couldn’t hide it from him but he was there for her when she needed him. Verse 2: She was often broken and “all alone scared” needing him. He wanted to console her but only come see her if she was alone. She wasn’t. But she didn’t care if he was “on the bed laying awake”. She would sacrifice everything to see him. Even if it meant being tortured, “as she prayed he’d leave her alone”. But he’ll come to her anyway. “He’ll let the darkness swallow him whole” as he goes into the shadows, silently. Because he needs her to know how much he would risk to be with her. Chorus: Things have changed between the two. She is no longer needing him like she used to and he is going through withdrawals. Wondering why. He reaches out to her for help, because now he is the one that is hurting and broken. When he turns to her she is cold and “wrote him off”. Unlike he did to her. He was left to “rock in his filth” as his feelings were his mess to deal with alone. But “from the destruction” of them and “out of the flames” he will still take the fall and be the “villain”. But he just needs her to say it. To say that he is the bad guy and at least acknowledge him. Last Chorus: This is a plea. He is finally telling her that he will give anything to be with her again. Even in the daylight (even after the darkness swallowed him). “There” he will be “like an old enemy”. This is the way she sees him now. As a figure in her past. An enemy. But he will remain the bad guy as long as it takes to make her realize what they had and how powerful it was. Then, and only the will she realize that they are “Like the salt and the sea”. One and the same. Inseparable.

The Sparks are the cycle of addiction through a family. We are all doomed to relive the mistakes and faults of our ancestors, whether we like it or not. But they also show the constant impact of family relationships. No matter how much Junior hated Jimmy for putting him through everything, he still stole all the money to protect them and then tried to take his father with him to run away. Eventually, though, he did exactly what Jimmy had done in the past - just trying to help his family but making terrible mistakes in the process. And finally ends up becoming Gloria, pulling Jimmy out the door and eventually sprinting through the field to get away from his mistakes.

I first heard this, completely unprepared & not knowing how it would haunt me, in traffic, half - distracted in the beginning, but suddenly riveted & mesmerized by the way it intimately grabbed ahold of me. Most songs that get us emotional are about love, or it's loss, occasionally family & the memories that take residence in the halls of our head. Few songs ever affect us in a way that is wholly ourself. I was once again driving alone when I heard it for a second time & my face flooded with tears, unrelenting to the point of near-blindness. I cannot recall ever crying so forcefully while listening to music. This entire song is all that I feel from the inside out, I have literally lived this song word by painful word .

Good for you! ♥

[@christinaoneill3535]

I wasn't expecting this but happy I listened. This song was something I can relate to for sure. My brother died of an overdose and I just remember tracking him down and making him come over and have dinner with me and letting him live with me while fighting the disease. Everyone stepped back and pretty much bounced but my heart was different. Great song, hits home for sure. I love everything they put out.

So it seems Gloria was the Leader of the Landslide, bringing Jimmy and Junior with her. Absolutely stunning story from start to finish.

[@davidsanderson7948]

Donna was the leader of the landslide. Read this analysis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqPPiqGlrNaDjck&lc=UgxSCmiyqgwxvG-f6t54AaABAg

Life is depicted as “REAL,” no matter what - Love is stronger than addiction or anything else…..Transcends Life itself. Beautiful and i Love This!♥️

[@taliaboaventura6107]

I can't stop watching the series. It is extremely good, but also heartbreaking. It makes my heart ache for the whole family. When I thought the lumineers couldn't get any better, dammit!! You guys do deserve an Oscar!

[@baronma]

This song... I have no words. The only thing I would change is when he says, "to rock in my filth" I wish it said, "to rot in my filth." But I'm sure it has a meaning to them.

[@seanmulhall8335]

This album doesn't get as much as love as it should. To me this is their best album yet.

[@joanneott1689]

The piano is amazing. Such a haunting song. It speaks of addiction oh so well.

[@natea7736]

The cinematography as well as the transition of April into salt and the sea is beautiful

[@RecluseBootsy]

I know it isn't the context of the video or the story but i felt compelled to leave this here. Because of the struggle I got going on, I'd be scared shitless to miss the shot and wake up with a head injury like Pops here. I wake up to find a loved one made a mistake, came to get my help, finding me half dead, they frantically try to help when it's been too late for far too long and they end up getting caught up trying to waste precious time saving me. No gains, no glory, just running away. Forever. Keeps me from doing what I've thought of doing for 23 years. I *have* to be there to fall on the sword. Whatever it may be. If it can save or spare a loved one, I'd much rather it be that way.

[@brianrick9066]

This song spoke to my soul. It reminded me of so many things and so many people I have come to know on this ever changing stage we call "Life"

[@philipmoss6188]

Thats hell of a song....stunning 😮

[@bregibbons8125]

This song is a masterpiece, no waste.

[@ohsomyeah8379]

Thank you, Lumineers. This was overwhelmingly beautiful. In parts, I connected with the Sparks, felt their pain, and hoped for a sprinkle of happiness in their doomed life. But life of course, is tragic and unfair. Also, thank you to the person who got me here. I wish you stayed :)

[@courtneymcrain22]

This whole album video is so fckn painful, beautiful. I broke down a few times during this. Alcoholism is heart breaking

[@divinaenriquez6553]

i found this ad on youtube glad i checked the song out :)

[@SykCyn]

Wasn't a huge fan of The Lumineers before this set of songs. M. Night Shyamalan really made a huge impact on their music, I think, because this is amazing.

[@anamikajoshi8145]

This just bought all those emotions out which I never felt before. I am so happy to see all the positive comments here from the real fans. Kudos to Lumineers for keeping the sanity alive! ❤️

[@danyaali9384]

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in a while.

[@brandonsteele5951]

I remember, I cried when I found out you got sent to Juvie!!! No one they’re quite grasped why I was crying. I’m not sure any of them had done time. For me, it was the year of my life that I was terrified that I’d never get to see you again!!! That’s why I cry because I worry I never get to see you again again!!!

[@h_curly6384]

someone needs to make a youtube video on this album about all the theories

[@AJ-qf2zg]

I will

[@h_curly6384]

@@AJ-qf2zg sick give me a shout when your finished.

[@daniellara9847]

A J I’ll be waiting too

[@ALA87]

the line about the doctors and their medicine just to leave to rock in your filth. Really hits home

[@dannymorrison9738]

I don't know if this was already mentioned but I love how in Gloria Donna's running for her life and in the end it's her son running the whole album and videos are amazing 🥺🥺🥺❤❤❤

[@zerorisker9161]

[@josephhecht7788]

Omg this is everything. I love you mom. You’re amazing as this song.

[@marsmatthews2407]

This whole series made me boo-hoo cry but I've never been more thankful

[@gavinmartinez9244]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written

[@idle5992]

Incredible! I have never seen a album that focuses in a actual story. This was like a movie...

[@tsukipeoples9551]

If you like it you should check out the wall by Pink Floyd which also has a movie or American idiot by green day that has a broadway musical. All concept albums

[@Only1Corri]

The commercial brought me here. Whenever I see that commercial I wanna ball my eyes out.

[@danielhartnett9242]

I’ll never listen to this album the same again. Absolutely brilliant. I already loved the Lumineers but this just set them up on a pedestal above almost every other artist I’ve come across.

[@grbggaming6885]

My God their videos are good.

[@BethelAbba]

Say what you will about the obvious parallels in the end of the video, but truth be told, it is the opening shot ---- the family portrait where everyone is so distant and aloof from one another, where there are no hugs, no obvious affection, no "closeness" at all ---- that gets me every time. You have Gloria in the wicker chair, the mother from "Leader of the Landslide". You have all the other characters... generations apart.... and so alone. We never liked family photos in my family. 5 children.... and we could never agree on anything, including who stands where for a simple picture. The opening shot reminds me of those attempts, and how we finally just gave up taking family pictures. It's been 15 years now since the last one, and even something as simple as Facebook drives the problems back and forth, as though they never stopped with the ebb and flow of time.

[@NYCJoeBlack]

First heard this song from a recent TV commercial. MAD AS HELL that I had not heard it prior to that commercial!!

[@redriver6541]

Damn these guys are great. I have fallen in love with this group. Their videos are just as great.

[@himanikashiya1928]

I m awsteucked! This final one was like... Damn! It shook me. Hail Lumineers!!

[@bryanbatch5181]

Excellent harmony throughout, just lovely!!! That piano has such a Sunday school, crystal clear purity, tuned to get the point across!

[@Inyourwalls67]

How...how does this have only 3mil... it astounds me. This is an absolute masterpiece of a song

[@FuLong1997]

Omg! The Lumineers always make me fall in love with them again. With every song a bit more. Thanks guys!
