We shot everything over the course of three days -- half of it while traveling around Florida hunting locations, and the other half here in Jacksonville. Finding spots that didn't have anything directly modern about them took some time. And it was pretty rough, in terms of conditions. Summer in Florida can get pretty mean. But we were supposed to be sweaty and dirty, so I guess it helped there.
We shot the entire thing with a budget of $165. Unless you count my doctor's visit. After being in the swamps and out among all those dead trees, I had gathered a variety of weird bites. Three days after shooting, I woke up and the back of my neck red and swollen and tender to the touch. I had to go the to doctor to get it sorted out (read: get antibiotics). But beyond that, and the cuts and bruises I got from jumping into that ditch, it went well.

"hold me down hold me up to the fire, but dont you dare hold me back" is such a good lyric. my best friend and i are getting tattoos of it.
*My feet plow on
From light to dawn
My empty belly and my body aches
Ain't hard to take
Next to the weight
I carry in my chest
A pound of flesh
Could never tip the scale that I've made
I should have stayed
But I was never wise
I hear your voices in the wind that cuts the night
And I pray to whatever is listening things'll be all right
Oh, my boy, you're alive
Your heart's still beating
So don't you mind, don't you mind
We all drift sometimes
I can still hear your feet as you ran from the house
Knowing you won't be back doesn't mean that I will stop waiting
You told me then, hold me down, hold me up to the fire
But don't you dare hold me back
Whoa
I see your face's in the clouds that scar the night
And I pray to whoever is listening things'll be all right
Then today I wake up feeling easy
And find I'm on the more familiar roads
I got a darkness wrapped inside me
But now it ain't so hard to let it go
So keep a candle burning in the window
I'm almost home*
"Oh, my boy, you're alive. Your heart's still beating. So don't you mind, don't you mind. We all drift sometimes."
Getting a tattoo of that definitely.
did you ever end up getting the tattoo?
Came across this song today by coincidence. Saw someone replied to this yesterday. I too am curious
Your Songs always make me feel some sort of homesickness , Im not even away from home !!! Right in the feels !! Just beautiful ..
Exactly! I commented something similar on another video
+Adol Fitler Yes! That is the exact feeling! I've been trying to pinpoint the emotion for a while and that really sums it up! 😄
there's a word for that, actually! it's called "anemoia" and basically means "nostalgia for a time you've never known"
Dammit Ben, you didn't put that fire out completely.
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT WILDFIRES!
Lolll
You know I once played a guitar more often. I haven't played for a long time, then I started listen to your music. Because of your music, I have this amazing guitarfeeling again.
I love how there's no dislikes to this video... :)
I love Radical Face and the fact that it isn't on the radio ever, because then it wouldn't be so special to those who really know it. There's a certain hidden beauty in these songs, each and every one greater than the last. I'm ecstatic that the new album came out. Such a win. :)
This is such an old comment, are u even there?
@@juhimathur172 replying old comments in hope there will be an answer. I often do this 🥺
It's almost impossible to express what we feel when we hear the melodies of Ben Cooper's songs ... Cooper is a genius or maybe God.
Congatulation !!!
This has been one of my favourite songs for years, how am I only just discovering there's a music video???
Hardly I comment on videos but my addiction to Radical Face started by mistake with this song, I got hooked immediately and amazes me the creativity Their music inspires. Also love the side projects, blog and devoir everything Radical Face
A recent comment. It made me a little happy
Gosh, never gets old... whenever I'm feeling down this song resets my emotions evryitme!
I would love to learn the full story to this family tree. I listen again and again to find it.. yet I'm still fully satsified with the bits and pieces
I would take a vacation to fly wherever RF is...just to shake Ben's hand, truly. Thanks for sharing your videos.
please, keep writing and playing music. we can feel you play music because you love it, and this is rare nowadays. greetings and love from Italy :)
He did, he still does music
@@TheShockChicky sure, i know :)
@@thomstown heeey, 8 years later and you are still there :D
I can't wait to see this song live down in San Fran. Ben Cooper, I'll see you there!
Wauw. I love your songs. Can't wait for 1 februari to come! I can finally see your live performance in Paradiso.
You survived the heat and the bugs to create something beautiful, good on you! I look forward to your continued works. Peace.

One of the most epic musicians!! Take on the world kind of music...
new to the band, but this song reminds me of the boxer by simon & garrfunkel. regardless, it's very cool.

So this will be my first comment on UA-cam. I'm proud to say it was under this beautiful song :)
Have you ever regret it?

Suas canções são obras de arte!
Radical Face tem uma energia indescritível em suas músicas!
Very well done.
"I'm almost home." That felt so good.
I really love the songs of the radical face and electric president!
Pra mim, Ben tem feito o que de melhor eu ouço no meu player de música.
Ei, man. 9 anos passaram. Ainda ouve ele?
NARROW MINDED
the intro reminds me of "Morning Mood" by Edvard Grieg. :-)
Ben you are so cool.
1 year late, but at least i did not miss it!

Manhunt!!! Manhunt!!!

+baxtertothemax Epic fail during the last few seconds XD

The intro of the song reminds me of Final Fantasy 1.
Also love it in tel aviv
I like this tune. Gonna check out more. Were you at all influenced by Simon and Garfunkle? I kinda feel a similar vibe.
your not the only one
When's he coming to Manchester ?
@eliteeth4n the begining kinda reminds me of final fantasy... not sure what one.
Singing ghosts with concertinas!
Australian tour 2014 ????
Biutiful !
Oh Judah...
Nice o/
@CoffeeWatercolour wheezywaiter has that too towards Mr Face
5:22
OUCH!
Possibly the best track......See you in Manchester Ben, I'm still the old fart in the front row....Peace Bro
@reganking22 spotted me :)
Hey this was uploaded a year ago today
@mugofdoom
Jack's Mannequin is the definition of emo.
is it only me that think that when he washes his hands in the river reminds me of the movie "into the wild" ? u know..after he kills the moose.
How many Coopers you have there? (description)
@TiredTrooper ahh hello there fellow forum friend
he looks like the others from lost
This band reminds me a lot of pinback
Пока смотрел, умудрился съесть два помидора и два огурца)
@l33tpwnzord You're getting Indie Rock and Emo mixed up. Just because it's emotional, doesn't mean it's emo.
Ben Cooper is a BAWS.
The only people I know who think any of Mr. Cooper's music is less than fantastic are people with zero taste.
Virmir2121 wszyscy za Tobą przejmujemy ten filmik ;D
Łapki srapki poprosze niech widzą ;p
That should be 'too'....
@l33tpwnzord He's not emo. Neither is Mumford and Sons nor Jack's Mannequin.
No longer.
BTW, you are really hot in this video bubba
ahhhh look what you did! YOU usurper!
well you ruined that didn't you ;)
