This song is so beautiful. The lyrics are universal and, the way I personally interpret them is that in religion various people find their sense of self or their identity and with that identity an ego is born. "No religion, my religion is love", to me this lyric is so powerful because I believe in the universe. I think this lyric is talking about killing your ego. So, I interpret this lyric as a mantra for me this means that it is okay to have unorthodox beliefs, and you can be a moral and spiritual person despite your distinct views. Then, the lyric "All that you wanted, was all that you found in your heart" is again such a universal message. It can mean anything, but to me it means that all that you wanted from life, love, your own personal beliefs, self love, ect is what you found within yourself. To me it means acceptance from within yourself, and killing your ego, being so comfortable and so at peace with who you are that everything is background noise. (everything compliments you but can never define you because anything and everything that you essentially need you already have) You are one with the universe, or god, or whatever you believe in.
Lexus Alaina very nice written but killing something that can be transcendented is just (in my opinion) not right... but maybe we are talking about the same thing just naming it different:) greetings from slovakia
I hadn't understood the video until I read your comment. I think that you're so right! What your said about the ego, matches perfect to the way I interprect the video now. Someone here in the comments said that those kids had lost all the free movement. That all in control makes them lose their innocence. And I think that's just like you said, that in religion various people find their sense of self or their identity and with that identity an ego is born. So, with this ego, people lose all theyr free movement, because their identity is so connected to what some esppecific religion says, and think that's the only right way to be, that they just lose themselves in that illusion, They even forget the porpose of that all. Just like the kids of the video. They loved to dance, they felt alive and complet when they were dancing. But when they started to dance to the viewers, their ego started to grow, and their dance become mechanic. They even forgot what made they dance in first place. Killing your ego, you may start to see, feel and experience the spirituality much more genuinely.
Nu mai știu am lăsat comentariu la această piesă sau nu. Deci, o fac oricum. Sunt absolut copleșit de muzică, de interpretare, de video - e un clip extraordinar! Mulțumesc, Eduard!
Whenever it comes to an end, my body creeps and I feel like raising my arms high emanating all the energy that I can, at that moment all my hair is creepy and the end of the song is near. Magic. ESMZ is peace.
This is one of my favorite songs in the album, but as of today's, August 30, 2019, 3:30am, this is the first time I saw the official video, and I cannot stop my tears coming out, not only because it is a marvelous video, and the lyrics of the song themselves are unique, but also because I played the video in the precise moment where I needed to find myself with my dancing inner child, and realize that I need to keep "dancing" (as a metaphore, because I am no real dancer, in fact, I suck at dancing!) to enjoy life. It is truly amazing how something can transform you. Kudos to ES&TMZ for the incredibly amazing song, and for the director for capturing the essence & spirit of what the band wanted to transmit.
Someone needs to explain a meaning to me. The rise. The eyes watching, how tense it is. As there is a kind of ritual. As there is an ancestry and perhaps a cultural appreciation. I need to understand what the hell I wanted with this video. I love. Every year I come back here and I ask myself, what is this? It's cathartic.
Nice surprise! Was certain after the first shots of the village that this was in Romania, and when I saw Eminescu on the wall, I was like 'Hell yeah, you intuitive badass!'. Close enough though:) And a very cool video indeed.
:) indeed, I had looked in the description after my initial hunch (that's why I said 'close enough'). To be fair, especially in rural areas, I think it would be quite hard to tell the difference
Ce que change le départ de la chanteuse Jade Castinos pour *Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros* ? Peut-être un poil de mélancolie en prime, sur un quatrième projet (_PersonA_, 15/04) réalisé sous perfusion gospel à La Nouvelle Orléans. Mais pour le reste, nada : emmenée depuis 2007 à Los Angeles par Alex Ebert, la joyeuse troupe hippie conserve sa capacité à enchaîner hymne sur hymne, tel ce _Wake Up The Sun_ filmé en Moldavie, et son incroyable chorégraphie kusturicienne invitant à la transe.
Prefer their stuff from a few years ago ie 2012 and before that. Music doesn't really match the video clip. Just my 2cents. One of my favorite bands nonetheless
The clip is awesome! The kid is acting very well. Kinda clear message to someone. Would recommend Vanotek "Cherry lips" - it's a very good clip also, IMO.
из клипа следует, что у нас в стране все убогие.. исключение - танцующие детки... и еще - не доказывайте своим хамством, что в Республике Молдове действительно живут пропащие и недалекие люди...

This is one the most underrated pieces of art...dare i say Grammy level🤌🤌🤌🏆🥰🙏
An amazing Work of Art I would say. The song and the music video blew my brain away!
Came across this song years later. In a different lifetime. Wanted the zeros to know how much they mean to people on a daily basis

Very nice music and an unusual clipfilmed in Moldova, my homeland!

Wake your sun but do not forget that a dance is for two dancers and not a selfish projection. The dance is life.
Se esse não é o melhor vídeo já feito...perfeito...
Probably the best song ever written in the history of music! ❤❤❤
Moving...beautiful...tears.
This is so good - remind me a little bit Nina Simon -Huge Groove - bravo et Long life to Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros -Greetings from Tunis.

Wonderful music video. So much art encapsulated in one piece.
I could watch these kids dance all day!
Que clipe lindo, encaixou perfeitamente com a música, os 6 minutos mais bem gastos do meu dia.

And a very cool video indeed.
It is actually Moldova :), although I wouldn't mind it to be called Romania
:) indeed, I had looked in the description after my initial hunch (that's why I said 'close enough'). To be fair, especially in rural areas, I think it would be quite hard to tell the difference

мерзкий клип!!!
pentru oameni cu gindire limitata si slab dezvoltata ca tine este imposibil de inteles arta...
из клипа следует, что у нас в стране все убогие.. исключение - танцующие детки...
и еще - не доказывайте своим хамством, что в Республике Молдове действительно живут пропащие и недалекие люди...
