Family Tree + Story (so far):
Frank and Donna Bell were Gloria's parents according to the video for 'Donna.'
Gloria married 'W. Sparks' some time before 1979, which was the year Donna died and also would have been the year that Gloria's son Jimmy was born. Because of the video for 'Life In The City' we can only assume that Jimmy is not W's son.
Easy to assume that W and Gloria moved from NYC back to her childhood farm house after her mother Donna died in March of 1979 as Gloria would be 3 months pregnant by that point as well.
Due to the assumption that W is not Jimmy's father, perhaps that is why he is always so seemingly okay with just leaving the baby behind as he rushes off with Gloria in all of her drunken moments, which would also explain why Jimmy then grows up to be a bit of a fucked up dad as well as his mother was an alcoholic and his father didn't seem to really care about him.
According to the Lumineers website, when Jimmy is older, his wife takes off and creates a new family as well so obviously not having the greatest female roles in his life would also lead to some issues.
They also state that Jimmy was a prison guard which could have likely been something bred from probably being taken into some sort of police custody and then turned over to foster care after Gloria and W. got in their accident -- total assumption though on that but one can only assume he was taken away.
Junior is Jimmy's son so this video has skipped Jimmy's generation and is showing his son Junior and how he is rebelling as well as a teen as Jimmy - his father - was also an alcoholic.
So we have Donna (Bell) = mother of Gloria Sparks (nee, Bell).
Gloria = mother of Jimmy (Sparks)
Jimmy = son of Gloria and W. (or one-night stand man); father of Junior (Sparks)
Junior = son of Jimmy, grandson of Gloria, great-grandson of Donna.
Essentially what is happening with the Sparks' story so far is showing how the spark of addiction can really turn into this raging flame and carry on for generations!
Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
Wow
I thought i was reading a blurb 😂
Wow! God bless your kind gesture!
Alguém traduz por favor??
That's helpful, thank you! I keep thinking I'll pay more attention and sort it out, but I get caught up in the music and the raw despair of the video and forget!
I will remember this for a long time. I am Living in my small studio and running everyday for my uni. whenever i will come back this song will remind me the beautiful memories i have collected past years. Thanks lumineers.
As someone who knows very deeply about this kind of love, it's both exhausting and addicting.
Finally saw them live, they were amazing. If you get the chance I’d definitely recommend, great show.
it wasn’t easy to be WAITING for you!
Ranji Agung truth. 😭

Needed this
I swear to god I can't understand how this is not considered music excellence and instead cardi B gets Grammy awards 😧😧😧
Exactly, I mean they make such beautiful songs but they never get recognized for it
While I understand your point the two artist are completely different musically. The Lumineers wouldn’t be in a Grammy for Best Rap Artist and cardi wouldn’t win an indie/folk award. So comparing the two is kind pointless
That’s what I am saying to myself all the time.. and they aren’t famous as her pfff most of people like commercial music not this kind of music . How is shallow this world
@@daniellesingletary4934 Nah not at All sweety. Think twice. And if u need to try agian.
It's cause of the fucking millenials 😑
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
M Hu
I have never felt so on point with a song in my life!!
❤❤❤❤❤.. We've all been on the receiving end of the person we love not returning those feelings and leaving us lonely and trying to figure out where, when and what we did to cause them to go away.. Awesome video! !! ❤❤❤❤❤
The Lumineers is my favorite band. I'm excited ... From BRAZIL

THIS ALBUM IS A MASTERPIECE.
I-/ ♥
It doesn't matter how long I go without listening to the Lumineers, whether it's days or minutes, it always hits hard. Such a coming home feeling I get from listening to them.
My wife loves the Lumineers, but is getting annoyed. We take our dog on a 30 minute walk everyday and all I do is play the same three songs from this album on rotation. Now I have a 4th!
Corrz I don’t see the issue here
Basically YOU love the Lumineers. She just likes them.
Corrz my bf felt this
Maybe try the rest of their excellent music?
Lmao, no really
I can't wait.. I hear the song on Spotify while getting ready for work.. And I instantly look up for the video in UA-cam.. See that it's on countdown for premiere!
Hi Nadia
Totally agree with the last comment! This is truly awe inspiring and requires much more talent and soul than than most mainstream musicians possess today. Im absolutley impressed with this band.
Always with that unique vibe, love the lumineers!
Can we just appreciate that the comments are everyone portraying how they interpret the music and song. Getting to read all the theories is amazing. Best comment section 👌

"I took the poison praying you'd feel it too."
You guys never disappoint me when it comes to lyrics, good music video and a good song❤
what does it mean?
I’d like to to think he meant some sort of love potion 😳
@@elisazanni9210 it means you're destroying yourself and suffering for the toxic relationship and hoping the other one would care at all
I cannot express how much I love love LOVE this songgggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMGGGGGGG LOVEEE ITTTTTTT
the last time we met was christmas day 2022, kissed and being touched. i didnt know his love was already dead that time. it hurts, i still love you Leo, i will remember you
I genuinely like everything this band puts out, they are so good on a consistent basis, its unreal!
I believe that the guy in this video is Gloria's son, and he is remembering seeing his mother run out into the field and take her shirt off when he was a baby, which we saw in the "Donna" video. In some weird Freudian way, maybe this is what he wants to see a woman do now, and he envisions his date doing the same. This album seems to be about the ways that patterns of behavior keep passing through generations, and the sins of the father (or mother in this case) keep arising in their children. I can't wait to watch it keep unfolding. These music videos are so special. Please work with this director forever.

its been 2 years since the first time i listen to this song, now i realized this happen in my current situation, the last time we met was christmas day 2022, kissed and being touched. i didnt know his love was already dead that time. it hurts, i still love you Leo, i will remember you
This is the amount of times we are going to watch it 😂😍
This makes Mondays worth it!
I just realized that she stepped in socks on wet grass. That's SICK!
Yessss that soul 🖤🖤🖤
On the last time we met
Your love was dead
You held my hand
Bit your tongue
Shut me out
Spilled my blood
All around
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back, and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
All alone
Your ax fell
We dragged you down
Gave me hell
Made your bed
Now you sleep
On your own
Guess we'll see
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back, and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
I know that you tried
But you're no friend of mine
Falling apart
You played it the best
A dame in distress, ooh
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, wrapped my neck and prayed that you'd feel the noose
I saw the restaurant table for two
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah, I took the poison, praying you'd feel it too
You held your punches back, and I left the room
Yeah, it wasn't easy to be happy for you
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Leia Oriana bless people who comment lyrics 💕
“you always felt we dragged you down”
Thank you!
@@blahber222 is "your ax fell"!! I listened the song again and it looks like he was saying what you said! But the lyric is "your ax fell"
@@dOrK1169 hahaha yeah I know!!! I always say that!! It was my turn to put the lyrics😄
Their music is like the best summer evening, your all time favorite meal, dessert, song, blankie, smell, jeans, color and happiest moments, ALL WRAPPING ITSELF AROUND YOUR SOUL AT ONE TIME💖 Soul enhancement everytime THANK YOU!!!💖💖💖😍😍😍
This is an awesome comment!!
It's hard to feel happy for someone who's left ur life but if you really love them u want them to be happy even if it isn't with you and that's how I feel about this song
You are very correct. All the losses can teach you real love for others, but it leaves it's mark.
@@CoffeeKillersClub definitely, i think it takes us what seems like an eternity to get over certain heartbreaks. But it's good to know in the end that we did what we could to keep them and we gave it our all regardless of it's ending
the cinematography, the story, and the song are just... I can't find the right word...Just GODDEMN outstanding
I have checked every hour for this video to see if it came out yet lol
Stranger: which series are you watching atm?
Me: Lumineers' new album 😁🌟
2:25 when she unbuttons and my guy coughs the smoke out 😂😂 best Moment of this kids life 🙌🙌🙌
Holy shit they always deliver excellence. They deserve more recognition!
The Lumineers is so underrated
I somewhere dont want this music taste to be common. I want it to be exclusive. Idk if I'm right.
@@AbhishekSharma-od2yy as far as the genre of music goes they are already one of the most popular so not really exclusive at all.
thats because the rest of the world doesnt like music that is too "real". They like their distraction music that doesnt remind them of the consequences of their own actions.
@@kinetictrading809 and that's perfectly fine. People can like what they like for whatever reasons
Mohamad danial stfu the Lumineers are not underrated and they’re well known. Im not sure if you left this comment because you’re a dumb fuck or if you’re one of those pathetic fucks who wants to feel like they’re special or deep based off of their music selection.
Aside from their music I am always excited to see their music videos because it's aesthetically pleasing
I love how he sings "all alone" in the same tone as in my cell.
I swear Luminners have both songs and videos on another level. 🤩😭😭🖤🖤
Only one singer (band) in the globe, whose song waits before premier ,💥💥💥💥💥love from Nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

When the girl turned the heat up with her foot....excellent touch.👍
Can't stop seeing!! MASTERPIECE
This may sound crazy, but I truly have tears come from my eyes every time I hear a new song from them for the first time. The amount of beauty that they put into their music is amazing. God I love this group. Thank you
Masterpiece
Oh man, diese Stimme und diese Frau 😘😘😘😘
The girl looks like a young Charlize Theron. This is amazing and you'll always be my favorite band forever. I really wish I could meet you guys someday.
I was lucky enough to see them live at the van Andel arena in Grand Rapids it was for their cleopatra tour, I loved every second of it !! :) they really are such an amazing band
It is said that every one of us in the world has a soul mate.
Mine is MUSIC.
So much soul given in this song. Perfect song.
This is music for my soul
Greatest group ever! My favorite song! Awesome
Согласен с тобой
I can’t wait to see you guys touch the sky and above. III is gonna be THE BOMB. Much love. Keep up
Ahh. So good to hear from The Lumineers after some time again. 😍

God I’m praying right now. I feel like, I just feel that I’m not enough & that I can’t live my life. Help lord. Love, p

This is becoming my favorite tune on the album.❤❤🤘
I'M ALREADY CRYING😭😍 OMG THIS IS SO GOOD
Once again the Lumineers make another great song
Damn, I recommend Lumineeers to everyone I know. Spread the word, friends. We are in the midst of greatness.
This song is one of my favorite songs by them. Its so magical and full of emotions.
How is it possible that a band like this is so underrated. The story of his lyrics is even poetic.
The video has 46 million views now.
sem palavões e sem delongas... sem sombra de dúvidas o melhor clipe de 2019!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is it selfish for me to wish that the Lumineers will stay underrated as it is? Because I want to be possesive by their greatness and at the same time want people to know how amazing they are! I can't just see one day that their music will chafe. I want it to be preserved because it's beyond every metaphors you can say! Amazing!
The Lumineers is not that underdog as we think, they as not just in the pop culture. To those indie folk lovers, The Lumineers is pretty mainstream.
She is absolutley stunning..
I’m confused but I love it
the lumineers, their songs come together to tell a story. not many artists do that. it’s just brilliant. as you watch more videos, the songs come together and make more sense. love love love it
outras memórias mano
My sister was gonna buy me tickets to a Lumineers concert, but Covid came, and it fell through. This is one of my favorite bands, and I have loved all of their songs. I even started learning some of their songs on my guitar, and really wanna learn how to play this since it’s one of her favorites.
Always love a song with good MV on it. This album is worth the wait
i’ve never had a favorite band until now
6yaaa
Ha buon duaaa
One of my favorite tunes!!!!
guys reaction through out the entire video sums up the title of the song. Poor lad. Love this song
I think the whole point of including melodies from their previous album and mimicking scenes from other videos is to illustrate that we all go through the ups and downs of life. Each character's experience bleeds into others spanning generations, leaving the listener confused. But it isn't meant to be figured out because the ultimate theme is that there is nothing new under the sun, and this is the human condition. We love, we ache, we desire.
WHOEVER DISLIKED THIS....I JUST WANT TO TALK
Donutsandmusicaltheatre areamazing they clearly need an intervention more than the man in this video.
😂😂😂
I didn’t leave a dislike on the song, I never do that, but I didn’t like the song. Definitely not something I’ll be listening to
Donutsandmusicaltheatre areamazing thank you for sharing that life decision that affects us all.
Robin Well, hey asshole, he wanted to know who didn’t like it, and I stood up.
I relate to these lyrics.
2017: "I took the poison hoping you feel it too" Brokedown with PTSD and depression. Cut my wrist hoping mother would see how much I was hurting inside.
2018: "I would lie awake hoping you don't lie awake for me" Struggled to rebuild my resources. Most aspects of my life shattered from years of mental illness, I felt so bad and fragile about having nothing. Relationships, work, money, security... It pained me thinking my mother must have shunned me, the way I shunned myself.
2019: "It wasn't easy to be happy for you". I'm more stable than I used to be. Living a more independent life. Half of the time, I'm aware of my co-dependent ways, and how my actions of self-destruction are manipulative. How it would bring me down, stuck in this love-hate relationship game with mother. "If you don't have it then you'll never give it". My mother is a dry well, I would not fill it bawling my eyes out.
So yeah, I stop expecting the motherly love that I hoped for. And I find myself happy for her sometimes. Her actions hurt me in the past, they hurt less now. I hated her, I hate her less now.
I hope one day I'll have enough love for myself. And be truly calm, and happy for her. For I know I love her.
Beautiful, thanks 😍🎶👏🌹
Holy shit that was so good not only is it a beautiful song but an amazing video to portray it ❤
I waited for this and it was worth it.
Just beautiful
My favorite of the five released so far.
I’m crying already, this is pure art
The good music is here
0% reggaeton
100% real music
Beauty ✨️🎈
,Simply WOW!, Lumineers. And God Loves me and Jesus died for my Sins. Not making fun of God or Jesus, just Thanking them for the Lumineers.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best way to start a week!!! This band is simply amazing, they can do incredible masterpieces such as this!!! Kind of music that I started listening and when I saw I became a fan!!
Amazing clip! Oh God, now I have to wait for 5th video.
BUT WHAT DOES ANY OF IT MEAN
Jackson Joseph i mean we know a lot abt all of the videos. like this is Gloria’s grandson, we can presume that girl in the car is imaginary, we know the whole album focuses on a family through three generations struggling with addiction. but like i feel you lmao. i cant wait for it to all be out and we can piece together everything
Lumineers live at the o2 London 27/11/19
Amazing night 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A memory for ever
What I love about with The Lumineers is that they don't just make music; they create new world of good story. ❤️
Smoking is everywhere in this album
Every song from you is amazing, I hope someday you get the value from the people that you deserved!
Ni
Just watched Super Dark Times and Charlie Tahan (the guy in the video) killed it! What a movie. Fantastic acting
Great movie.
Most underrated song from iii album
الو
i need someone to make a family tree explaining how they're all related pls
Yes
Same
A lot is unconfirmed, as far as I know. Donna is the mother of Gloria who died. Gloria and her husband's son is Jimmy. A lot of people think Junior is Gloria's husband, but he could also be the man she had an affair with or (my theory) another son we don't know about who died (she hates the names of people who died).
Gloria is the central character, although the songs have been sung from I believe her husband's perspective. "You" has always referred to Gloria thus far.
Gloria Sparks is a mother of one, Jimmy Sparks. Her grandson is Junior Sparks.
@@theRobler I dont think so I dont think she has a grandson yet her child is still a baby in the last one
The dude looks like if Jonathan and Steve had a kid
No Bias What do you mean?
THIS IS SO ACCURATE
Idk if its what you meant, but in thinking of Jonathan and Steve from stranger things and I can totally see the similarity 😂
Wwooooohhhhh
The lumineers,wlcm back!!! 🤤 i missed u guys
xh
From the Lumineers tweet:
We try to speak kindly after a breakup, but sometimes the truth is a different story. This is the introduction to Jr. Sparks, through his eyes and first-love heartbreak. Watch "It Wasn't Easy To Be Happy For You" the 1st video of Chapter II: Junior Sparks
Love it!
