In case you’re interested: the directors of this music video won Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture Oscar’s for EEAAO last night
This is pure psychology… what our fathers make out of us in our very first years leads to our results, but always we can recognize it and get into our own path. This is my favorite band ever.
This is one of the few videos that makes me cry every time. I'm a father of 9, 50 years old... I've seen a lot in my life... this video/song hits the shed totally.
Sometimes we need to cry, or to feel something but numb. The soulful and poetic lyrics are everything, just everything. They describe indescribable pain, and the music takes us there. Thank you for the depth, it extracates some of us from the mire. ♡
The lyrics to this song have been hitting me hard lately, yet I had never watched the video until now. Even though I feel like I was stabbed in the heart, it is just so completely beautiful.
I've probably listened to this song a 100 times but never watched the video. I thought it was powerful before, but my goodness! The video takes it to a whole new level!!
The song is great, the video is next friggin level. What a masterful piece of art. It isn't often that you look at a creative output and think, "they did EXACTLY what they were trying to do,' but for some reason, that's the feeling you get watching this masterpiece.
I seriously can't even put into words how much I love this band and how many years they have gotten me through!! Thank you Manchester Orchestra ❤️❤️❤️ you guys will never know the impact you have had on my life. Thank you.
Andy Hull is a very sensitive man. He has got a great questioning mind. He wants to understand this life and he feels lost, I think. This song has precious words that break my heart over and over again but, oddly, I feel healed because emotions of understanding as a human is heavy and I know that I am not alone when Andy is in this world with his band!
I watch this regularly. Quite possibly the best music video I've ever seen. Music videos change the experience. They ask that you allow your senses to be distracted from the pure music slightly, but offer something new in return. This video delivers on this exceptionally - a powerful insight into someone's life that really touches the heartstrings, and does it all in only a few minutes. Absolutely brilliant.
Okay honestly I have seen this video loads of times, it’s an awesome music video so I've watched it a LOT. Even still, something came to me this time that I NEVER noticed before!!! I realize that the story it's playing out is actually very thought out. This is all happening in Andys head as he crashes. He sees the deer and rolls his car. He revisits other memories with deer from his childhood. There's a head above his kitchen table, bringing the head to Sarah and then hunting with his dad. It is what he sees in his near-death moments. His life is flashing before his eyes and the deer is what brought those specific memories back. In each one, he had a negative emotion. "The violent GUILT that eats and never dies." He feels guilty in each of them. Spilling the milk, embarrassed about having a thing for Sarah, killing the deer. Each memory he is jerked back to "reality" aka the crash that is happening "currently". The airbag. The leaves flying everywhere. It's so GOOD HOLY SHIT. Huh. Simple math.
Yes! Amazing story and visual representation of the worlds colliding. I love at the end him as a kid with the red pick up truck toy driving it up the fork and the camera zooms into the cab. Amazing song and equally amazing video!
Shelly Blaney in the few frames that his letter to Sarah is on the screen, if you pause it, he’s writing something along the lines of “hey Sarah, you may not know me but I’m Andy.” Then later on “youre the prettiest girl I’ve ever seen”. She’s clearly much older than him, so even though he feels strongly enough to bring her a gift and a note on his bike, he probably also understands that it’s an unattainable crush. Which in turn brings those feelings of guilt/shame/embarrassment/fear of rejection. That’s my guess at least.
Weirdly enough, I figured out his life was flashing before his eyes when i first watched this back in 2011, but your analysis dug deeper and brought alot more insight to the video, and I agree completely with what you wrote a couple years ago. Then I thought even further while I was watching the video and realized how beautiful true art is when you finally see it. Because it speaks to you in your own voice. I was 19 when this came out, I'm 28 now. I've always loved this song and video, but I feel like almost 10 more years of living has made me watch this in a different way. And as I got to the scene where he shoots the deer and is frantically trying to escape and I started to see something I vibed with and never thought of before. When he shoots the deer he begins to run away, and keeps being stopped by small reminders that what's happening right now is happening and he can't stop it. He can't hang on to those memories because he has no choice and life is going to keep moving forward whether he wants it to or not. At 3:24 he gets stopped by the same table that was in his house in the middle of the woods, and the liquid is leaning in the bottles as a reminder he's still tumbling through the chaos and can't hang on to the known and the familiarity of his memories At 3:32 he crashes right through the woman like a pile of leaves and i can only guess she's probably "Sarah" referenced in the video A couple seconds later the trash cans explode behind him as he runs like he's being chased by something he can't see At 3:30 he explodes into the same leaves like his memories as he's thrown from the truck "What if I was wrong and you had never questioned it? What if it was true, that all we thought was right, was wrong?" plays right as he stops and thinks for a second he's alive and in the hospital and made it to see his dad again. Then you watch the water in the glass move again and it almost feels like you're being told even your ideal outcome and how you want things to end still can't stop what will be no matter how much you want it to. I would say i'm reading into it too deeply but the last segment of the video shows his father buckle up his seatbelt before it falls back into the crash, but this time his younger self is driving through his old life. Almost like he was always on this crash course he had no control over but held on to so tightly. this video almost plays like the beginning is the start of life pushing you onwards towards the end of the video - death. In the very beginning he's driving along a road (life), but if you notice his eyes are closed (implying he's blindly traveling through life), he opens them to see a deer he can't avoid (catastrophic life event), and only then does the rest of the video play out almost completely in slow motion, and he sees for the first time, only it's too late. There's almost so much picture language in this video I never noticed before.. This might be the best one ever made
Awesome awesome awesome video I love the way it portrays his mind and the last things he is thinking about while he is thinking he is dead. I like to think this is how the end will be in all of our brains with our own memories
As a musician myself, i think if i could record one song like this and make one video this powerful, i could die happy. I found a video on here somewhere that explains this video brilliantly and i was really able to connect better the song and video once i understood it better. It is truely a masterpiece
Sometimes I comment on these videos, knowing he will be back here to listen eventually. Waves, if you're out there, I'll always be your best friend. I'll always see you in your denim jacket at that Manchester Orchestra show at Juanitas, dimly lit. I'll always be your best friend.
its a flash back of all the discontents of his life and how a near death experience brings it all about.... and how simple all things ADDED up lead to his current state of emotion~
I want to thank you. This band that seemed to find me in just the right time. I cry every time. I was raised by a single father and now I am doing the same thing. I love my son and my family even more now. Lost a cousin to suicide recently and I in some way feel the pain he was dealing with in different shoes. I love my father and mother. I love my son's mother, even if she don't speak to her son and I anymore. This song teaches me love and how dealing with my depression and hurt with just a smile can make the day a better day. I have much love and respect for the music and lyrics. Thank you Manchester orchestra
when this song first came out it was my go to whenever i was in the driving down i-70 through a thunderstorm. just now watched the video for the first time. it brought back so many memories

I love the feeling I get when listening to this song. A feeling similar to how your skin crawls when entering a room you have never entered before, yet everything is familiar as if you have. This song reminds me of the few times I've had a three, four, even five hour conversation with a complete stranger, but yet we knew everything about each other. I have heard Andy's words once or twice before. Each giving this message "the simplicity of life is obscured by the complications of man." SIMPLE!
One of the best music videos I've ever seen. I've enjoyed watching them perform this song in a live setting...the song itself is on another level...but THIS video should be called art.

Hunter eyes I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye I want to rip your lips off in my mouth And even in my greatest moment doubt The line between deceit and right now Simple math, it's how our bodies even got here Sinful math, the ebb and flow to multiply What if I was wrong and no one cared to mention What if it was true and all we thought was right was wrong? Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned Either way... I imply to mitigate the guilt, we could align A perfectly constructed alibi To hush the violent guilt that eats and never dies In actual blame, they called me once the dark divide Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then? What if we've been trying to get to where we’ve always been? What if I was wrong, and started trying to fix it? What if you believed me? Everything is brilliant Oh, oh, oh What if I’ve been trying to get to where I’ve always been? What if we’ve been trying to get to where we’ve always been? Simple math, believe me, all is brilliant What if we've been trying to kill the noise and silence? What if I was wrong and you had never questioned it? What if it was true, that all we thought was right, was wrong? Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned I imply I've got to get it back then Oh, oh, oh
The Dark Divide from whence my art multiplies. My meaning flies in the face of your lies. Turning and returning on simple math. My truth is the only reason you got here. What if you were wrong and missed it. What if I wasn't prone to simple acts of kindness? What if I stopped caring at all? Pissed off, at all you have wasted? The Dark Divide in my own mind is where I live. My Homestake. At my toes on the mortal coil is where I draw the red line in the dirt, in defense of my only haven, this side of the veil. Out of darkness the light is reflected before my very eyes. Everything becomes simple math there, then, and brilliant afterall. I am the first and last dark divide. The beginning and end of all dark divides. Who am I?
it's true you can listen to a song, but only when you can relate do you feel and understand it. it's beautiful and this magnificent piece of music can helped me with the situation this song was written to explain
You're right! :-) And that's why I’ve included that Manchester Orchestra’s video in my review with 10 AWESOME music videos: ua-cam.com/video/mz06cMFUv2I/v-deo.html Also you can VOTE there for that video as the best one from that review. Stay TUNED! Regards, Nick

Damn, I’ve been listening to this song for like 5 years but never thought to check out the video. Glad I finally did that was amazing, honestly one of the best music videos I’ve seen as far as story telling goes, shit even the effects were out of this world. So happy it lives up to how much I love this song.
Congrats to The Daniels, who directed this! At the U.K. Music Video Awards, "Simple Math" just took both "Video of the Year" AND "Best Indie/Rock Video - International." Produced by Gaetano Crupi, Jr.; Casting by Hollywood Huntsville. Featuring Caleb Wimberly, Jim Zielinski, Lexi Shelby Williams, and...Manchester Orchestra. Filmed in Guntersville and Albertville, AL. Spectacular video. The editing amazes me.
I've loved this song for over a decade and somehow have never seen the music video. What a shameful person i am for not. Its so beautiful and i can't stop crying 😭

christofchaos I know this comments 2 years old but in an interview he said this song was what he imagined having an affair would be like. Rewatch the video with that in mind and I think you can understand a lot more. 😊😊
@@carleahBaby Eventhough this commets is 5 moths old.. haha I also understood it is about having children (simple math). Perhaps it plays in to the struggle of raising children and the relationship with your own parents. This can go hand in hand with your comment nevertheless.
@@prakwillem Eventhough these comments are over 2-5 years old...hahaha I wanted to add that on "Genius" (An App for song lyrics and interpretation) is written that "The song ist about infidelity. How one commits it. How one feels about it. How one regrets it. And finally, how one tries to get past it." And I think that the car crash can be seen as metaphor for a "crash/accident" (cheating) with consequences (a child) because one didn't wear/use protection (which can be seen in either ways: condom and seatbelt). Furthermore the video may show how one little mistake/being unfaithful can put the life of all persons (especially the one of the child) up side down. I don't know if my interpretation makes any sense, since English is not my first language.
Ich finds so verdammt schön wie viele Kommentare hier über Joko und Klaas und Circus Halligalli gehen... ich vermisse diese Show und muss bei dem Song wahrscheinlich mein Leben lang anfangen zu heulen💔💔

That song got really meaningful today... My girlfriend signed this morning for ''Medical assistance in dying''. She must have listened to ''Simple Math'' a thousand times during the last year. She asked me for this song to play at her funeral. While I was getting back home from the hospital tonight I nearly hit a deer. WTF?
@guillaumebousquet5138 Yeah. She had always had problems with her mental health due a severe hormonal imbalance. She had tried several times in the past unsuccessfully. We broke up because I kept blaming myself for not being able to fix her. She's gone now. All that I can do is grit my teeth through the storm. It makes nights unbearable. I still sleep on my side of the bed every single day, thinking that she will be coming home from work and pass out next to me. It's takes a lot of time but it will get better. Iv come to terms that she's gone. We all have our own ways to cope. I just work to not feel. I constantly removed dry wall just to rebuild something. You need to find ways to put yourself back together or it will consume you.
@@markzc6236 I'm sorry about your loss brother. I feel you. It sucks. It really does. The feeling that all this is a ''joke'' or that she's coming back. Oh! And the self-blaming and regrets... I even had weird dreams about it, or was it nightmares? You have every right and reason in the world to feel angry, sad and powerless. Just be careful not to turn it against you or others. And please, I beg you man, try to avoid substances, they didn't help at all over here. I could write you every platitude in the world that ''you will get through this'' but reality is you won't. We accept it and live with it. This is where I currently am 6 years later. Maybe someday I can entirely discard it. I don't know. I'm slowly getting there I think. I still miss her every now and then, but mainly I stay focussed on how to get the most out of the life that I have to live and this way of being and showing up made me a better man than what I thought I could become. I rebuilt myself through doing sh!t that scares me (sports, combat, sobriety, music, running, entrepreneurship). Not bragging. Not trying to pull you to far ahead in the future. I just want you to know that things will get better. But you need to allow them. You're already getting better man. And you are loved. At any point in the future, feel free to come back here. UA-cam will send me a notification.
Wow. This just blew my mind in a million pieces.

You can see how the "everything everywhere" was already a big part of their thinking.

Where words fail. Music speaks.
How had this masterpiece just disappeared from my memory in one moment a few years ago?.. But here we are again, when I need it so much
A MAN WHO LIVES WITHOUT A HEART YET BLOOD FREELY FLOWS
The lyrics to this song have been hitting me hard lately, yet I had never watched the video until now. Even though I feel like I was stabbed in the heart, it is just so completely beautiful.
this has always been one of my favorite indie bands ^~^
That happened to me too. One of my favorites of the album and then the video just changed everything.
I've probably listened to this song a 100 times but never watched the video. I thought it was powerful before, but my goodness! The video takes it to a whole new level!!
What if I Was Wrong ?! I'm having trouble 😐!
I can't believe that I've just discovered this amazing band , listen to them all day . Amazing.

The depth and the story telling of this video along with the song are breathtaking.

because good music should move you.

Hunter eyes
I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye
I want to rip your lips off in my mouth
And even in my greatest moment doubt
The line between deceit and right now
Simple math, it's how our bodies even got here
Sinful math, the ebb and flow to multiply
What if I was wrong and no one cared to mention
What if it was true and all we thought was right was wrong?
Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned
Either way...
I imply to mitigate the guilt, we could align
A perfectly constructed alibi
To hush the violent guilt that eats and never dies
In actual blame, they called me once the dark divide
Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here
Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned
What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then?
What if we've been trying to get to where we’ve always been?
What if I was wrong, and started trying to fix it?
What if you believed me? Everything is brilliant
Oh, oh, oh
What if I’ve been trying to get to where I’ve always been?
What if we’ve been trying to get to where we’ve always been?
Simple math, believe me, all is brilliant
What if we've been trying to kill the noise and silence?
What if I was wrong and you had never questioned it?
What if it was true, that all we thought was right, was wrong?
Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned
I imply I've got to get it back then
Oh, oh, oh
The Dark Divide from whence my art multiplies.
My meaning flies in the face of your lies.
Turning and returning on simple math.
My truth is the only reason you got here.
What if you were wrong and missed it.
What if I wasn't prone to simple acts of kindness?
What if I stopped caring at all?
Pissed off, at all you have wasted?
The Dark Divide in my own mind is where I live. My Homestake. At my toes on the mortal coil is where I draw the red line in the dirt, in defense of my only haven, this side of the veil. Out of darkness the light is reflected before my very eyes. Everything becomes simple math there, then, and brilliant afterall. I am the first and last dark divide. The beginning and end of all dark divides. Who am I?
This music video gives me chills. First time I've ever seen a video as good as the song.
Alles gute, Circus Halligalli! War 'ne geile Zeit!
Ja völ!
Very strooong thank you for this songs... i💙youuu 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Been listening to Manchester for years and I only just saw this video! Intense man
This song is beautiful
it's true you can listen to a song, but only when you can relate do you feel and understand it. it's beautiful and this magnificent piece of music can helped me with the situation this song was written to explain
I never would. I meant it helps understand why they would. Thank you, you as well.
Coś pięknego, utwór i teledysk, można odlecieć.
You're right! :-) And that's why I’ve included that Manchester Orchestra’s video in my review with 10 AWESOME music videos: ua-cam.com/video/mz06cMFUv2I/v-deo.html Also you can VOTE there for that video as the best one from that review. Stay TUNED! Regards, Nick
I mean ... the best song ever deserves nothing less than the greatest music video of all times. This is so emotional. Brillant storytelling and awesome visuals.
Never realized the daniels directed this. Great and come back to watch after years
Such an epic music video. Love the Daniels.
Best video EVER made right here. Feel like song fits my life. What if I was wrong and nobody told me.
Wow! Seat-belt commercials have gotten really inventive.
QtheNoise loll :3
Wess same
👍👏👏👏
This video makes me cry evertime.
I remember seeing this on TV back in the day when it first came out times were simpler, this gives me nostalgia I wish music was still like this .
The video to this song is amazing! I love the imagery and creativity it showcases.
Best Music Video ever

Mal wieder richtig guter Ton Frank! #CircusHaligalli #TheEnd
I've been looking all over for this music video and didn't know this was Manchester Orchestra. I saw this video late at night when I was 14.
Just saw them last night and they played this ❤ Austin Texas ❤❤❤
Holy shit, this is amazing! Totally hooked on this band.
What a haunting, tense and brilliantly executed video!
Damn, I’ve been listening to this song for like 5 years but never thought to check out the video. Glad I finally did that was amazing, honestly one of the best music videos I’ve seen as far as story telling goes, shit even the effects were out of this world. So happy it lives up to how much I love this song.
Made by Daniels. They now have a feature film in theaters. Check them out.
This music video and the composition... just stunning... real art on this Earth! A stunning triumph!!
Wow all I can say is wow! How beautiful! Speaks to me in so many ways!
That.... was freakin intense! :o and awesome song!
Congrats to The Daniels, who directed this! At the U.K. Music Video Awards, "Simple Math" just took both "Video of the Year" AND "Best Indie/Rock Video - International." Produced by Gaetano Crupi, Jr.; Casting by Hollywood Huntsville. Featuring Caleb Wimberly, Jim Zielinski, Lexi Shelby Williams, and...Manchester Orchestra. Filmed in Guntersville and Albertville, AL. Spectacular video. The editing amazes me.
Circus Halli Galli hat mich hier hin gebracht. Danke Joko und Klaas :'(
eita
I have been listening to this great band for the last few days, and I relly dont want any of them to end. Superb, Fantantic, Emotional and Brilliant.
6 Years of Loving this Band, and I'm still yet to see them Live.
Might have taken 11 years, but they just won THREE OSCARS
9 years later and I haven't found a better video yet
Could it be the best music video of all time?
Daniels are great directors, their writing and cinematography skills will take them far
shmerlingz it is!
Yes
absolutely !
That title has to go to Ground Walks with Time in a Box by Modest Mouse. Meaningful and sexy at the same time.
I've loved this song for over a decade and somehow have never seen the music video. What a shameful person i am for not. Its so beautiful and i can't stop crying 😭
wow - just wow!!

Wow. How does a video that makes no fucking sense to me whatsoever evoke that strong of an emotion. Amazing song. Amazing video. GJ. Great job.
christofchaos I know this comments 2 years old but in an interview he said this song was what he imagined having an affair would be like. Rewatch the video with that in mind and I think you can understand a lot more. 😊😊
@@carleahBaby Eventhough this commets is 5 moths old.. haha I also understood it is about having children (simple math). Perhaps it plays in to the struggle of raising children and the relationship with your own parents. This can go hand in hand with your comment nevertheless.
@@prakwillem Eventhough these comments are over 2-5 years old...hahaha I wanted to add that on "Genius" (An App for song lyrics and interpretation) is written that "The song ist about infidelity. How one commits it. How one feels about it. How one regrets it. And finally, how one tries to get past it." And I think that the car crash can be seen as metaphor for a "crash/accident" (cheating) with consequences (a child) because one didn't wear/use protection (which can be seen in either ways: condom and seatbelt). Furthermore the video may show how one little mistake/being unfaithful can put the life of all persons (especially the one of the child) up side down. I don't know if my interpretation makes any sense, since English is not my first language.
this song gave chg a glorious ending
Ich finds so verdammt schön wie viele Kommentare hier über Joko und Klaas und Circus Halligalli gehen... ich vermisse diese Show und muss bei dem Song wahrscheinlich mein Leben lang anfangen zu heulen💔💔
This video moves me every time I watch it... And it's become a part of my daily life.... I gotta figure that sh*t out.
No idea how i'm just now hearing about these guys; their lyrics and videos are all so intense....good stuff here.
ohh, right in the feels :(
I really like your music, it's helping me alot through this tough time I'm having these years. Thank you for making such a masterpeice

Circus halligalli ❤️
Das Ende einer Ära!
The BEST music video I've ever seen. And the song drives it emotionally.
This video gives me chills every time I watch it. Still my favourite M.O song.

Eine Ära hat sein Ende gefunden :( Circus Halli Galli ✌
That song got really meaningful today... My girlfriend signed this morning for ''Medical assistance in dying''. She must have listened to ''Simple Math'' a thousand times during the last year. She asked me for this song to play at her funeral. While I was getting back home from the hospital tonight I nearly hit a deer. WTF?
Who would have thought we would end up here, hu? What are u doing to cope? I barely am, to be honest.
@@markzc6236 Hey Mark, am I getting it right that you recently lost someone? Tell me about it please.
@guillaumebousquet5138 Yeah. She had always had problems with her mental health due a severe hormonal imbalance. She had tried several times in the past unsuccessfully. We broke up because I kept blaming myself for not being able to fix her. She's gone now. All that I can do is grit my teeth through the storm. It makes nights unbearable. I still sleep on my side of the bed every single day, thinking that she will be coming home from work and pass out next to me. It's takes a lot of time but it will get better. Iv come to terms that she's gone. We all have our own ways to cope. I just work to not feel. I constantly removed dry wall just to rebuild something. You need to find ways to put yourself back together or it will consume you.
@@markzc6236 I'm sorry about your loss brother. I feel you. It sucks. It really does. The feeling that all this is a ''joke'' or that she's coming back. Oh! And the self-blaming and regrets... I even had weird dreams about it, or was it nightmares? You have every right and reason in the world to feel angry, sad and powerless. Just be careful not to turn it against you or others. And please, I beg you man, try to avoid substances, they didn't help at all over here.
I could write you every platitude in the world that ''you will get through this'' but reality is you won't. We accept it and live with it. This is where I currently am 6 years later. Maybe someday I can entirely discard it. I don't know. I'm slowly getting there I think. I still miss her every now and then, but mainly I stay focussed on how to get the most out of the life that I have to live and this way of being and showing up made me a better man than what I thought I could become. I rebuilt myself through doing sh!t that scares me (sports, combat, sobriety, music, running, entrepreneurship).
Not bragging. Not trying to pull you to far ahead in the future. I just want you to know that things will get better. But you need to allow them. You're already getting better man. And you are loved.
At any point in the future, feel free to come back here. UA-cam will send me a notification.
Normally I hate watching music videos because they ruin the image I had in my head. This video is better than anything I could've imagined!
The song, video and band can be summed up with two words total class!!!
out of any music video I have ever watched this one brought out true emotions. Wow a new level of art has been achieved.
