Lyrics:
Held up here, it's a silent fear
And this space don't take my mind
A cloudy wake, it's a young mistake
That I'm clothed in
I can't see when I'm filled with sleep
It's a golden dream of mine
But when I rise with my morning eyes
It's all spoken
Wait, don't drown it in the waterhole
Taste the feeling of a fever soul
All in all I need to get me through
I still stir, such a war of words
I'm a maker of my time
A feeble man with a broken plan
Oh I'm loathing
Make my bed on the great unsaid
And my meekness sends me low
I stood fair but you still weren't there
So you've chosen

[@DakensMusic]

He's dancing out of Joy. Why does it have to be more than that? We forgot how to be joyous and live in the moment. That's what this video depicts, to me.

[@fidhammer]

Exactly

[@baitandwaitguy4065]

Daken Breland and for this depiction people who think they know better will call you shallow. Talk too deep and they'll call you know it all.

[@seanstone8845]

Daken Breland there's a story in the Bible of king David getting really into dancing and hopping around naked in the temple. Pure expression is awkward sometimes, but we know better.

[@Nini-ek6on]

I agree!

[@MysteryASMR777]

It’s true.

[@Jaydcoke]

I have always loved this song and I adore the video but today I read the lyric and it brings a tear to my eyes. Just connects with me. It isn't a song of happiness, it's a song of liberation.

[@iiafterimageii5610]

This song reminds me of vacation, not the part of vacation where you are at your desired destination having fun but the car ride there. Driving at night while everyone is asleep in the car but you and you just looking out the window at the lights of the passing cars and the rain and fog. Reminds me of driving through the mountains at night too, beautiful sight. Being in the clouds. Great song

[@TheNINJA3601]

That's called wanderlust

[@MidnightSentimentalities]

Dreamy Describtion 😍 thanks

[@hurraaaaa]

Kevin Pilotzi

[@HopePetunias]

Caleb M. I resonate with this, this was literally my mountain road trip song

[@ohu2014]

If everyone's sleeping,who's driving then Hmmmmm

[@kawaiiteaparty3642]

This song reminds me of summer dawns, of the fresh smell of the morning,of the first rays of sun peeking out from the mountains.

[@bradamarusensei4080]

KawaiiTeaParty^3^ well put but It reminds me of sipping tea with only kawaii souls on a cold winter day when only gloomy clouds rule the sky

[@ekaterinastoykova4077]

This song fits so much into my world! Feels like you suddenly find yourself again after having been lost for a little while :) Pure air! Thanks a million to The Paper Kites and greetings to all the nice people enjoying this wonderful music!

[@blessingbentomotayo8738]

Idk if Yu gonna see this comment, but I gotta say your perception is Golden and I think it’s a moral booster this time . Bless!

[@emilioulloapazmino268]

[@TubularOfficial]

+Emilio ulloa pazmiño Oh My God! i have done that it is amazing Oh My God! it is like heaven you feel invincible and sometimes you can do it with through the sun roof its awesome

[@janeuk4028]

[@nataliajimenez8023]

Thought I was the only one with this kínder of thoughts

[@manavsaluja]

You speak my language

[@Ilovejai14]

I love this video because it is so real. This man is full of pure happiness. Can't get over The paper kites. You guys seriously bring so much joy into my life with your beautiful music.

[@chloembosson4763]

It truly is beautiful isn't it

[@film611]

God, every time I hear a Paper Kites song, it restores a little bit of my soul and some of my faith in humanity. This music represents all that is good in the world.

[@Oopsnicolee]

the paper kites is my all time favourite band.. EVER! The way their music makes me feel is impossible to put into words. it makes me feel so free, so light, like Im a feather drifting through the wind. I honestly think bands like this should have much much more people appreciating them :) KEEP IT UP ^____^ I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[@charking4688]

I'm so glad real music like this is still alive

[@TrishaDutta]

There is something spiritual about their music (and the videos too). spiritual. surreal. Is that what #indiemusic is all about?

[@myoopoo]

Only the good, genuine ones like them

[@raul1899]

Yah it's very deep. u.u

[@Ash-yo1mu]

Trisha Dutta Yes incredibly spiritual, like they speak the language of eternity and love intertwined...God.

[@mvkvzi3042]

I discovered you guys at the beginning of 2020. Cant express how much your music helped me throughout this crazy, scary year - it gave me hope when I felt completely lost and brought peace when I felt extremely anxious. This band will forever have a special place in my heart❤️

[@ShimmerEspeon]

This is making me so happy. It doesn't feel like a music video, it feels like watching someone finally getting a chance to find his happy, adventurous spirit.

[@missmaryypotter]

I've never seen such a pure form of joy like this. It makes me cry of happiness because it's so contagious. This is amazing

[@jessjohns7723]

This definitely deserves more views. Tell your mother, tell your father, tell your friend, tell your neighbor, tell you grandma, tell your dog. C'mon, let's do this.

[@mycelium_6508]

This song reminds me of driving in the prairies on a cloudy cold day and it just rained so everything looks fresh but there is also thick fog surrounding you. Idk, it makes me feel nostalgic.

[@raunakagarwal8038]

how can one man have so much energy and happiness?

[@LydiaCole]

2:44-2:52... pure joy!

[@aniskii]

This is the cutest film clip ever!

[@Ganatrick]

i've been going through a lot of hard shit recently, and this music and the visuals of this man feeling so uplifted and dancing in the middle of nowhere makes me feel nostalgic but hopeful and that everything will just work out in the end. Thank you for saving me the paper kites!

[@pauleemusic]

their music is what spring sounds like.

[@JakeRyanH]

I swear they have the most unique music videos!

[@DanceSplitZ]

You're right, they totally do

[@montageXgamer]

DanceSplitZ Have you seen any the music videos for They Might Be Giants? Those are very unique.

[@DanceSplitZ]

Carl geath I will watch them then.

[@Lakyn]

This is the new soundtrack to my dreams.

[@SoooChonged]

Guy stole my moves! Personally love it when he throws a move which i can only describe as the 'windmillflingingarmtwistyspin'

[@sukanyaraja1413]

It's 2020 and YT randomly recommends this amazing piece. Thankful!❤

[@vilAvain]

[@camgalloway691]

How I look when I feel the presence of Jesus.

[@TheSilentProgressor]

thts exactly how i dance when no one else is around and when i listen to music like this!!!! Love it.

[@Burracc]

I think that is the simplicity of the lyrics that makes this song so amazing! :)

[@coldplaygirl345]

I would like to thank the Paper Kites for making the perfect stress relieving dance ever for finals at University

[@PirjoRiittaAnneliSavinen]

love this video,he look so happy...:)) The Paper Kites - A Maker of My Time

[@wildechildc]

This song gives a feeling of liberation and everything about the video radiates this- from his movements to his surroundings, it's utterly soothing. I heard this at your last gig and have been waiting a while for your new releases!!

[@karenforbes118]

in love with this music video. simply beautiful

[@parker298]

The walk i just went on would have made a great video like this one. Its 3am with a half moon producing just enough light to see the trail behind me. A glance of a bridge can be seen and with it's bright lights come the reflection of the water. When the music starts I couldnt resist doing the same dance move as the man used in the build up of the intro. By then I had taken a corner leaving only the high bushes in a straight line towards the yellow tinged moon. It's late april so the trees are bare and still slight amounts of snow remain. I then proceed to dance with joy cause how could one resist to a song as amazing as this?!

[@bradamarusensei4080]

honestly I loved the dancing with this song his moves inspire me to be happy

[@hilaraprado2768]

Live and follow with time with more music and life! With the paper kites is soooo!!!

[@CarinaYtube]

And if it's raining it's even more perfect.

[@WhalesAreFood]

One does not simply like Paper Kites for just their music. you have to enjoy the music videos.

[@crystal33255]

just watching him look and feel so happy makes me feel so good ,

[@unknownindigo6388]

Why does this video make me so happy??

[@mbalitshabalala6293]

I LOVE IT!!!! so carefree, so effortless talks to the meaning behind the lyrics. the meaninglessness of Life. Absolutely Beautiful.

[@pineconeprim]

This is what dance is to me, just moving to express emotion. I love it. More videos, please!

[@thesadkitty]

the more u lisen to this song..u realize how good it goes with the video..

[@photographingaj2711]

Their music videos are literally the best. I love them to death.

[@ClassyandCharming]

There's something very beautiful about the simplicity of this video. It makes me happy.

[@lovefitch]

Man, memories! I loved this band when I was in High School and it's been years since I've heard this song. Sweet, sweet memories

[@andreacamduhn396]

The way he dances describes perfectly my happiness.

[@SpicePrincess1890]

That man is praising and you can't tell me otherwise! :P

[@alexandriapilides]

This might be my favourite music video for any song ever.

[@courtneylesa5466]

I went to their concert last night and just... oh my god.. this is the most amazing song live!!

[@anonymouslilmethisis5084]

I think it's so cool that's it all one shot; not a bunch of short things spiced together. It really happened; they started filming and this guy started dancing for the full 3 minutes. They filmed it real.

[@DIEforLifeGuys]

This guy seems so free and full of life!

[@MegaDegaSkatePark]

When i was homeless this music video ment allot to me because bad things kept happening then i saw how this guy felt so free and i wanted to feel that with nothing to loose!

[@armyonpluto]

going to see the paper kites tomorrow!! super excited haha

[@KeeganHislop]

This makes me uncontrollably happy.

[@trip2neptune]

This video is so simple yet makes me smile every time I watch it

[@ChilliMamaSmurf]

i can not sit still and listen to this without dancing

[@heypeter2857]

There's something so satisfying that this video was shot in one take

[@sliceanddice26]

There was something powerful about that video. And I'm not sure why because it was so simple. But it just made me happy.

[@LydiaCole]

I love this, I love you TPK.

[@yinny152]

Don't you just love it when you come across music you've never heard before and fall in love with it ^^

[@AlteringYourReality]

Man! I wish there was that much dirt around here so I could walk to school dancing/kicking up that much dust....

[@JaneKissinger]

This might be the best music video ever.

[@Jadiee121]

This song gets me through college 5 days a week. The Paper Kites are fab

[@claudiakamcevamusic]

[@jigwan6009]

[@ashleewigness1860]

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! I listened to it a year ago and fell in love and I could never find it and now it is here!!!

[@321Lindi123]

No song from this band ever disappoints me... in fact i LOVE everyone of them.

You know how people say you can get lost in a song...well as cliché as that sounds this song is a perfect example.
