"Weightless Again" by The Handsome Family fromThrough the Trees

A video made at the 20th anniversary of the release of Through the Trees

[@blackmagic8985]

Your music digs deep down to speak with my soul. This song in particular. It evokes emotions in me I can’t explain, like grieving over a fond memory of something that never really happened. Your melodies and lyrics sound like you reached inside the earth and pulled them out by the roots. Thank you both for what you create.

[@swayplayyt]

I absolutely adore the music you make. 🥰 greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

[@marcob4630]

I feeel weightless!

[@ZkHeat]

Damn so refreshing compared to all the rap I listen to lol

[@nitrousnine]

i used to drive my old man around the back roads of his hometown listening to your music.i think it worked for the both of us,thanks! he's gone now,but i still have great memories...ya know?

[@siryizzur]

I currently do the same with my old man once in a while. He loves THF ever since I introduced them to him. I try to cherish every moment, it is all so fleeting. Sorry for your loss but glad for the memories you created.

[@PuddlesPityParty]

I love y'all so much.

[@CharonsNightmare]

ohhh do a cover of "caterpillars" or better, make music together!

[@deejjohn5279]

I've seen your videos on my feed and never gave them a chance until I seen this comment. I love the Handsome Family, so I figured I'd check your stuff out. Wow. You are very talented! Glad for this song that ended up being the catalyst to check your channel out! I'm definitely a fan now.

[@TheHandsomeFamilyOfficial]

Puddles, you are the best body of water around

[@KrisScofield]

The “anything to feel weightless” line has been haunting me for weeks since I heard this song. Love it.

[@TheSergesatriani]

We stopped for coffee in the Redwood forest Giant dripping leaves, spoons of powdered cream I wanted to kiss you but I wasn't sure how Like those Indians, lost in the rain forest Forced to drag burning wood wherever they went They had all forgotten how to start a fire This is why people OD on pills and jump from the Golden Gate Bridge Anything to feel weightless again Those poor lost Indians when the white man found them Most died of TB, the rest went insane In our motel room, you're drinking Slice and gin Reading Moby Dick on the other bed Remember the first time we slept together You said it felt like when you learned to float This is why people OD on pills and jump from the Golden Gate Bridge Anything to feel weightless again

[@ikehubbs]

This is the first song I heard by them. Then I bought the album and was hooked. I bought every single album since. This song is great, but is just a taste. I sold everyone of my CDs one desperate winter except my HF CDs. There music is the soundtrack of my life. They are my favorite band, hands down.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Nice comment. Hope this Winter is better for you. I know how this feels coming from NH/Maine

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

We have a taste for all kinds of quality music. This is right up there, at least for me.

[@nandodesbanidorx1961]

With love from Brazil

[@Rhinosaurjr]

A girl showed me this album & this song while I was going to film school in Denton, TX back in 2006? I’ve always had a thing for sad/deep music & I think she knew I’d like it. We hope you guys come to Texas or somewhere nearby! I did not know Jeff Tweedy was on Through the Trees 🌲 🌳

[@TheWizardOfSmog]

Probably the greatest song ever written on the death of love. Heartbreaking and utterly beautiful.

[@micayahc.wilson8061]

I’ve been through some hectic times, and music like this just makes me feel relaxed and as if I am sitting in Front of a fire with nothing to worry about.

[@another_unique_username]

It’s like I’m riding through the desert night worry free in a simpler time with stars and the moon above the headlights and lightning and storms in the rear view mirror

[@shawna2529]

This has always been my favourite song by them. And Sister's Tiny Hands

[@Momusinterra]

So Much Wine was the first of their songs I heard, early this century. I've been hooked ever since.

[@deejjohn5279]

Hey just wanted to let you guys know that your music has made a major impression on me this year. I've been far away from home and your music has been a major source of inspiration for my paintings, in a time of isolation.

[@victorpanfolf4056]

I don't know what the fuck is the meaning of this video, but I love it

[@erfun47]

With love from iran.

[@alfredotemich1341]

¡Magnífico!

[@EnnioPalanca]

Possibly my favourite song ever. Thank you from the bottom of my booze-soaked heart.

[@neilhamilton2091]

I have this song on a Ktel record called Alt Country from 1999. I look forward to hearing more music!

[@countrypaul]

25 years later, still incomprehensibly weird and still wonderful.

[@tg2832]

I love this song, and the video especially, but I wonder how a Navajo or Cherokee person would feel about it. While not overtly racist, it certainly is not very complementary of native people and their culture

[@mantia39]

I like this "band" a lot. But they've got some of the corniest lyrics I've ever heard. I don't know if corny is the right word...strange...odd...funny...just plain weird.

[@functionform]

Anything to feel weightless, again.

[@michaelpickersgill5665]

My wife asks me how I can enjoy the sound of depression? I don't know really, I just feel it has a rare groove.

[@tfwinterlong]

I first heard this on a compilation CD along with Lambchop, Vic Chessnutt, Neil Casal. Changed my life. Seen The Family 4 times. Top top guys

[@Hammern28]

Every single song I have heard of you, are songs I feel mandatory to learn the lyrics of, and sing along every time they are played. Nuff said!

[@stephen8612]

Amazing song. Amazing band. Come back to Ireland please! I hope you enjoyed your stay.

[@houndrobertson]

You guys have impacted me and my music and life so much its crazy, my sense of darkness has been tamed and emboldened, thanks, cant wait for the next one.

[@miguelguzman3016]

I don't think the indians felt lost. Imagine they felt right at home

[@abhishekchaturvedi846]

[@kwijung]

Great song. Gets frequent play at my house :)

[@dougcollier7229]

My mother and aunt saw them years ago. My aunt liked there music, but found the lyrics to be weird. My mom said that's why she liked them.

[@joebidensmakeawish4834]

I've been trying to find this song for the past year and I finally found it again. Love this song so much

[@pollyschmidt6435]

This song just does it for me

You were the first gig the hubs and I saw together at twelve bar in london 23 years ago... seeing you tonight in oxford. I'll be the one crying if you play this... cant wait (oh, we got married and its our 20th wedding anniversary next month)

[@dylyo1]

I'm such a dolt. Listened to ABird not knowing an entire album was your songs. Better late than never I guess. Feeling a little less weighty, thanks Handsome Family!

[@shaunmoss1915]

Thank God for Brett and Rennie, they've helped us all through so much.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

All trees and animals are sacred. Its time we started treating them this way!

[@beyond1957]

Put the Handsome Family on your list of things you must experience in this life.

[@KanikaSharma1097]

Still one of the best songs I've ever heard

[@xbhishek]

Just found this song yesterday through True Detective and I think you're goddamn right!!
