Could you imagine being the woman behind all this? Having millions of people hear your life story through these beautifully written songs. I wonder how they all connect though.. I know Ophelia, Angela, Cleopatra, and Sleep on the Floor are all about her but can't put them all together
IndieAir They're all related? What!?
Easy peasy dude, sleep on the floor beginning , Angela middle and cleopatra is the end , I bet is same woman in different times of her life , Wesley is the best story teller ever ! xd
ChanelDarkSide I don't think this song is the beginning necessarily. I think this is just her imagination as to what would've happened if she chased after him. Cause in Cleopatra, he obviously left and she didn't chase after him.
IndieAir by the way love you're channel lol 😂☺
+IndieAir yeaa , but in Angela she is the one who left him behind , so.. I think this is not her imagination , she run away and marry him (sleep on the floor) , got pregnant and left him ( Angela ) and then regret but still had her son to make her happy ( cleopatra ). That is my theory :) but the beautifulness in this clips and wesley/the Lumineers musics is that exist a lot of ways to interpret them.. Maybe you re right or I m right ... The thing is, that doesn't really matter , the true is what the music make you fell deep inside and what that is the true meaning.
Dear stranger.... You have a great taste in music..... See you again after 20 yrs.
that far..see you:")
I'll be here
That is called hope. I like that
We Will Here ❤
I'll be coming back to read our comments after 20 years. Hope we all make it 🍻 cheers !
When I was a little girl, I knew this boy who lived next door. He had cancer, and a few weeks before he died, I remember he was playing this song at a campfire with his family and some other neighbors, because we knew that he was going to pass. Now all these years later, I have met a guy and he kind of reminds me of this boy. So when we got to know each other more, I played this song for him. I like to believe that the little boy that I knew those years ago can live on through this song, with someone that I love today.
❤❤❤
wtf.. that is sick... tell that story to the person u met... ewww
@@thearab2569wtf... who writes such a disgusting answer to a truly precious story to someone that they decided to share with people?
Imagine you shared smth in a comment that you find dear and someone replies with just "ew, wtf, gross...."
Are you a little 12 yo child going through some teenage phase so everything you read is gross? To me, only your answer is the only gross thing here. You should learn some respect towards others or else you're not going to be respected yourself
My God 😔😔😔❤
That’s is truly the sweetest thing. One day if he is the right guy for you. Need to tell him if he’s truly the one, you will know before you finish this story….much love
I left a comment a couple years ago about falling more in love with my wife from infertility struggles…her being sick and fighting through..,I was so amazed… well we finally made it, and she’s a wonderful mother. This song brings me back through that struggle, so if you are there, keep fighting. I’m praying for you
I love this…your wife is a lucky woman, I wish God continue to bless your union 💞
Wr struggled too. We're finally pregnant! God bless your family!
Wow. Finally a safe friendly corner of the Internet ❤
"Pack yourself a toothbrush dear."
Doesn't pack a toothbrush
😂😂😂😂😂
xD
YOLO
"Don't tell me what to do, I'm an independent woman."
'borrows' his toothbrush
That's the thing, she didn't pack one because she never left. Everything happens in her head while she regrets not taking the chance of going away with him.
the lines - "..'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out..." really hits me...you have this longing to get out there and live your life but the "realities" of life slaps you in the face and the next thing you know ~ you're stuck and couldn't find a way to get out. A really BIG *SIGH*
theWanderer521 its definitely harder said than done. Its not easy getting out of your comfort zone. But i will tell you one thing, its the best thing you could ever do for yourself. Our legs were meant for exploring and our eyes to see new things. We were meant to be wanderers. I just packed my bags 2 months ago and moved from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Summit County in Colorado with a car and $500 in my pocket. Now ive got a job at a Ski Resort and I am going to study at a newrby college. Go out and explore! This world was meant to explore!
Thank you and I am happy for you! I believe one day my "day" will come
how do you know when to take that chance and leave?
my current situation. There is so much more out there for me. But when you have family and responsibilities here its like how can you just leave ?
Stefan. This is so awesome! I'm glad you did it. But the risk to fail is too big
You don't really know how strong of a bond this is until you experience it. Just having each other in a world so big to lean on & comfort through stress & troubles that come.. is a feeling never forgotten.
That's a really lovely thought.
I lost the love of my life to cancer. Losing that bond is indescribable.
I lived this life with an ex for 3 1/2 yrs. We toured the country selling our art & doing Shaman work. She was so amazing then something in her change one day. The next year & 1/2 was the most miserable period of my entire life. But the road was still an escape. I don’t miss her one bit. Only the freedom & liberation I felt as a nomad. If you’re out there living the life don’t take a single moment for granted. Especially if you’re out there with someone you love. It can end like this or in my case? Even worse at any moment.
@@jansonbriggs3250you are loved
@@natalienelson8681I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
This is THE SONG for aspiring travelers. At 19 it’s what gave me the courage to leave my hometown and travel with this French guy I only knew for a couple months, it was such a crazy experience. Glad I did, he’s now my husband and I moved continents with him♥️
So he knows what kraft peanut butter is?
@@A2Z2REAL BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:
- religious of any kind
- monk
- nun
BIBLE expect us to turn our LACK OF KNOWLEDGE into KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH (HOSEA 4:6)
Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE
- be baptised in HOLY SPIRIT /THE COMFORTER
- LIVE HOLY
= soul, after earthly death in HEAVEN. Easy logic, asks no degree in anything.
Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.
See no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil - that old saying, it belongs to masons, am I right again? The vow of silence of theirs.
SOULS, dare to read and study BIBLE (KJV) and search about FREEMASONRY.
This song made me realize that I’m more in love with the thought of being in love than actually being in love with someone.
well described. same
yup...
Same 😄😃
THESE SONGS WILL MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT DOES NOT EXIST THAN WHAT EXISTS, WHILE YOU WASTE YOUR TIME IMAGINING THE EXISTANCE OF WHICH WAS NEVER THERE AND THEN YOU FEEL SAD FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT EXIST WHILE DONT ENJOY THE REAL TRUTH AND TRY TO LIVE YOUR IMAGINATION WHICH IS MOST OF THE TIME UNFRUITFUL.
You are certainly not alone
Your always one desicion away from a completely different life...
Yup, if I made that move my life would've been a million times better...
Damn, that line is so short and simple, yet so powerful and beautiful.

wait. isn't that the guy's funeral? you can't make the decision of joining another soul in physical form when that soul is leaving earth by a "taxi".
dude that low-key gave me chills
When I hear the first chords of this song and I instantly get goosebumps and nostalgia and a longing for something like adventure, it makes me so happy The Lumineers decided to make music. They’re doing humanity a huge service with their masterful art.
I get the same feeling!!! I can’t imagine the feeling I’ll get listening to this years down the road
Gonna comment so you listen this again
the chords are actually a separate song from the lumineers: Patience (piano solo). that is if u are talking about the piano at the start
Totally agree with you!!!!!! The lumineers make some of the best songs that gives nostalgic vibes and I felt the same as you when I heard this song for the first time even though it didn't have any connection with the past, I felt nostalgic and a feeling of longing for the road trips and adventure.
اقسم انني احسست بنفس الشعور😮
I left my nurse manager job with the government. I sold my home and cars. I bought a motor home and hitched my Jeep Wrangler. My daughter and I traveled across the USA and even went to Europe. I didn’t work for 5 months. People thought that I was crazy. It was a beautiful experience. I loved it so much, that I worked as a travel nurse for 7 years. I moved every 13 weeks. This was way before cell phones and WiFi. It was a leap of faith. I’m older now and health keeps me closer to home. Don’t think about just do it. Life is too short.
Wow what a lovely experience!
She falls in love with a guy (Ophelia). Her father dies and the guy she loves asks her to leave town with him (Sleep On The Floor) but she stays in that town. She marries a guy she doesn't love and has a child (Angela). When she's old and divorced she regrets not leaving town with her lover, back when her father died (Cleopatra).
wow, i'm speechless with alk the story connection :')
so it's all about marrying the wrong guy right ? and all of this storyline in the videos are telling about the real expectation from the girl
true. the whole concept of these videos is showing the decisions she regrets in her life and how it would've turned out if her decisions were different. kinda sad :/
Swiftologist never thought about it that way wow
oh god
My girlfriend and I did this once. We took all the money we had, got in the car, and just drove for as far as it would take us. It was a nice trip across town.
Hahahahaha
Pack yourself a tooothbrush and go travel
Ahahha
This cracked me up xD
😂😂
It's been a few months since I recovered from depression and I remember that when I was sick, this song, but especially this video, was what brought me joy in the darkest days. I fantasized about replicating the brave experience of the two protagonists without unfortunately having the strength to do so.
Today I think I'm capable of enjoying such an experience.
This video has been and always will be my guiding star in reminding me of who I am and who I want to be.
thank you very much the lumineers
Same
Putting all your faith in another person and kicking the rest of the world to the curb is one of the bravest things a body can do! But if you can do it, you may just get more than you ever expected! 32 years ago I threw everything I knew to the wind, and today I am married almost 30 years to the love of my life ❤ so Go for it cuz we only go around once and deserve to be happy!
This....I really really need this. I just need to live for once. No more worries and stress. I just need this

So u need this?

I lost my girlfriend last year and this was one of her favorite songs that she always made me listen to. I always come back and read comments everytime that I miss her and when I need a cry. I guess I can always come back to this place whenever to feel a sense of community with thoughts of life, whether it is love, loneliness, happiness, sadness, adventure, and grief from the same people who have the same reason as I do. Atleast I can tell that I'm not alone. If you're reading this I hope you're doing fine and that you can find the strength to fight everyday.
Keep on keeping on. Life here is a tough one, we have to make the most of it.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Songs have a magical way of taking us back in time to a special moment. I hope you’re okay and always remember to hold on to those good feelings.
im sorry for your loss. this is my first time hearing this song, it hasnt started yet
Thanks for sharing mate. Keep holding her deep in your heart, she lives on through your love.
Bro 😞....
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby, come on
Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin
Leave a note on your bed
Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night
Baby, come on
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against the dying day?
And when we looked outside
Couldn't even see the sky
How do you pay the rent?
Is it your parents?
Or is hard work, dear
Holding the atmosphere?
I don't wanna live like that, yeah
If the sun don't shine on me today
If the subways flood and the bridges break
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
Put on your dress, yes, wear something nice
Decide on me, yeah, decide on us
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
Thank you 😊 brother

Everyone ones talking about the connection between the songs but the biggest message I received from this album is that you can make many choices in life and if you feel like making a different scary choice out of your comfort zone then just say screw it and run with it, it might be the choice of your lifetime
Its 2:00 am I feel lost crying standing in the face of a huge decision and read this comment that said exactly what I needed to hear right now. Then I realized I wrote it 7 years ago. Follow your heart and don't let others opions get in the way, you get one life.
The sage has spoken. :-0
yes, thank you for that ♥
just freedom! ☮
I decide to inject stem Cell in my dick choice of my life

What is name the felm
It’s 2023. Frankly there hasn’t been a better song released since this. I don’t care who you,are, it must touch your soul and that innate strive for freedom. Best song written in 25 years.
The song, the video, the voice, the message, it’s all perfect.
this is so beautiful, delicate and sad
yoon gionghan exactly what I texted somebody when I sent them this :(:
yoon gionghan what are your thoughts on 3:26. I'm not trying to get into an argument I just want to know what are your thoughts over the fact that he said Jesus Christ Can Save You Tonight?
Chris Jones
Why are you so obsessed with that part? You've asked this question literally dozens of times. Jesus dude.
I think that's they are going for with the music as well.
***** so i guess is just an expression, like the situation is so bad that he can't just say "jesus help me"
now that's beauty and sadness altogether

I remember one day 5 years ago I was napping, quite depressed, I was listening the songs youtube automatically played and then suddenly Sleep On The Floor came on. I remember waking up from my nap with the song on repeat in my head, so I looked in my history, and there it was.
I watched the music video and felt a fire burning in my soul. That fire never left. Fastforward 5 years, here I am still playing this song on repeat and on every occassion.
This is my life anthem and describes perfectly my need and burning to be set free and live, truly live my life to the fullest. I have a tattoo dedicated to this song, it reminds me that I am living, and I am finding the joy in the little things now. After 5 years, struggling with depression I am slowly healing and finding a spark I had lost. I am full of excitement, and honestly, this song has been the hope I had through these years.
I saw them live last year, when sleep on the floor came on, I directly went silent and closed my eyes. I felt alive.
I am so late to have found this song but oh man am I grateful to have stumbled upon it, it’s not very often a song and a music video makes me feel all sorts of different emotions but this really hits deep. It makes me happy, hopeful, yet sad all at the same time. What a song.
Am I the only one who fantasizes about running away with someone and traveling the world and never looking back??
Camp .Counselor me too
You're not the only one...
i wish i had run away like that with my ex and never think twice
"never looking back" part maybe not. I mean we do have families also...A "someone" can never be more important than your mother or father come on..But yeah fantasies.
Nope I'm right there with ya and ready to go whenever you are ☺️
If this was a movie i would absolutely watch it
random teenager what movie is it
Actually I thought it was a movie but wasn’t :((
It sort of is a short movie, look for "The Ballad of Cleopatra"
Шо я не понял
there IS an extended movie of the music video called "Sleeping on Floors": vimeo.com/228008675/8dca352182
Not many songs make me cry. This is one of them. Never been in a relationship, never held hands, never had a first kiss. Watched the person i liked kiss someone else, and a year later happened again with a different person now that I've moved on. Life's funny like that, haha. I still love this song. I asked out both of those people that I really liked. Neither said yes, but both went well in terms of I'm great friends with both of them to this day. This song reminds me to keep searching and never give up. Thank you Lumineers.
Farklı insanlara aynı şeyi yaşatması ilginç
Oh my god so real
I commented years ago on this song about how we were dealing with infertility…seeing my wife struggle and falling more in love with her…We are about to have our gift in a few days. If anyone reading this is struggling with the same, just keep fighting and stay strong through the pain. Control what you can, God bless
This is my girlfriend's account she died last night july 3, 2021 around 8pm. She always makes me watch and listen to this and other The Lumineer music videos and make different kinds of theories of the connection of the video. I can't believe that I'll be able to relate to this music video on how I want her and me to run away together. But I just wake up and realize she already passed away and I'm just a few meters away from her casket now. I LOVE YOU KYLA make sure to pack yourself a tooth brush dear, pack yourself a favorite blouse, take a withdrawal slip take all your savings out cause if we don't leave this town we might not make it out.
Dude ❣️
🥺🙏❤
i'm crying 🥺 stay strong man it's okay in the end life is not always sunshine and rainbows just remember the good times you had with her and u got this

May she rest in peace. Take care my man.
When I was 17 a boy named Robert asked me to leave everything and run away with him. I've regretted saying no for 40 years now.
omg so sorry for u
Are you Cleopatra?
@@brachiosaurus6350 Life got in the way of what I wanted to be. I'm sure there are a lot of us Cleopatra's out there.
Why did you leave him and why did you not try to get back with him?
omg.. tell me there´s still a chance for you two..? If it's so, please go run with no fear and tell him, go find him.. or I will lose my little faith about real love and it would be horrible, i wanna cry.. come on dear!

My best friend and I ran out of town like this. We just got into the car, packed everything we could and left for Colorado. We just had the time of our lives through the long drive and through our entire trip. We ended up leaving to go back and went our separate ways. She moved to Florida, I moved to Colorado. We moved back to our home state at the same time from broken relationships. We ended up seeing each other again, started dating, a week later engaged and now we again have packed our suitcases and drove straight to Colorado to get married. And our ceremony is going to be in my moms backyard. This video is so almost to the point of how we ended up together and it’s divine timing! Grabbed my suit, she grabbed a quick dress and it just somehow mimicked of this video.
I’m so at a loss for words at how magical this video turned into our reality 5 years later. The most magical moment of my entire 30 years of living.
Я захожу в интернет не для того чтобы плакать 😭💔
Feel it with you 🙏🏼
Give them a grammy already, for God's sake
Guys , i just uploaded the lyrics of this beautiful song in my channel , check it out please

Where's kanye when you need him
Rin Beck They deserve another one for this album.
I think that success can't and shouldn't be mesured by Grammies and prices in general (don't get me wrong, I love them too), but by the love and support of fans. I think that's the most important thing 😊

Wanna date to a stranger? 😂 cos life is bloody short tho !
This song is so beautiful. That one person with whom this song can be experienced is rare to find.
just keep on repeating playing this music video. I was just so caught of thinking how wonderful the feeling would be traveling anywhere with someone u really love without any hesitation and what ifs. How liberating would it be just to show the world the warmth and joy that love has to offer despite of what life has thrown on us.

The first lyric of this song is “pack yourself a toothbrush dear”
They had one job.
youre fantastic

Hahahaha
That's so funny dude I was about to comment the same. Your are the best😎
The saddest part of this beautiful video is that she didn't leave at all, it's all her imagination.
sad
indeed, probably its one sided love
yep. Was a lil bit dissapointed about that ngl .At least I can console myself thinking like, hey, at least it's real, cuz they filmed it, and it happened
Ha.... I’m living that. My fiancé chose to walk out and go back to her emotionally abusive parents. We we’re gonna run and live and dream. She had always wanted a tattoo, she’d never been on a road trip, she wanted to work with foster kids. Her parents are wealthy. I am not. They hated me for that. They hated me for encouraging her to step outside her comfort zone and chase dreams and adventure. We had planned that when we got married we wanted to put some distance between her family and she and I.
To convince her to leave me. They told all her friends that I had raped her, but she was too ashamed to admit or talk about it. So her friends and family we’re all trying to get her to leave. I lost the respect and friendship of most of my peers over all of this. I had extended family dealing with the fallout of their character assassination.
One week before the wedding, we found out she was pregnant. We we’re scared, but so excited. We had always wanted to have children. Her family detonated, they suggested she raise the child without me, they called the cops on me, they told her I had mental health issues, they called me family and begged them to convince me to leave her (which didn’t happen because my family knows that her family is psychotic)
Finally the pressure became too much. She left without even a word. I got a text saying she was leaving the country to go visit family, I got a letter saying she miscarried (They might have convinced her to abort the baby but I don’t know) one month later I got an email saying it’s over, she loved me but I don’t respect her parents enough for us to work out. She said I’m a good man, and that she was so inspired and excited to dream with me. But her family hates me. And her family is what’s most important to her right now.
She’s gone. I don’t know what to do. She was my family.
@@iken.4751 My gosh, bro... My heart is aching even while I'm reading this story. I went through some horrible shit with my love life this year as well but I can't imagine how traumatising that must be for you. I'm so sorry man. I don't even know what to say to make you feel at least a little bit better. If you wanna talk, you can find me on instagram: iixixviiilk. We can share our stories and make friends.
I was 23 when this came out and around 25 when I had a quarter life crisis. I feel this music activated an urgency to do more. I quit my job of 6 years to start a whole new industry. I’ve come so far but I still wonder what if. I’m getting ready to settle down. Even tho I’ve been married for 8 years and been together 12 years the what ifs linger. This whole album resonates with me.
This song inspired a 19 year old me to travel across the country with a group of friends
We are all in our late 20s now some of them have kids and are married
And I love having those memories of those west coast nights driving down PCH feeling like we could take on anything 😊
The message here:
Next time you're thinking of doing random stuff like talking to a new person/stranger or doing something that you wouldn't usually do, DON'T THINK TWICE
Don't be afraid or shy to do anything, DON'T LOSE OPORTUNITIES
That action could open the door to great experiences
So BE FUCKING SPONTANEOUS
Be the one who goes and do things..life's passing you by, grab it in your hands babyyy
A message to myself too

sunday 17 I miss many chance in my life 😂😂😂😂😂this song make me cry full day
I only watches half of this but I think she made a mistake to follow him and go with him from my perception. I hate those pivotal turning point moments which change your future. Part way through she is starting to look like an idiot and he looks like he's cooling off
Alright, so, after watching Sleep on the Floor, Angela and Cleaopatra (in this order) a bunch of times, I think I finally understood the story!
Sleep on the Floor - Her father dies. She is dating the guy with the glasses. During the funeral he tells her to leave with him ('"Cause if we don't leave this town we might never make it out"). Now, the part where she splits into two is very important to undestand the plot! Basically she never left with him... She stayed and they broke up. But she wishes she'd leave... So, the whole romantic and YOLO story from this video never truly happened.
Angela - She is married to some other guy (not the guy in glasses from Sleep on the Floor) and she is also pregnant with his child. Now in this video, she leaves him. When she splits into two, the other part of her goes to bed again but that is not what happened. She really left him.
Cleopatra - She is alone and her son shows up later (the one with whom she is eating a burguer and fries with) and she drops him off with his father (the one she left in Angela). When she divided into two, the other part of her goes inside the house like they were a happy family. But thats not what happens, she is alone and lives with regret for not leaving with the guy from Sleep on the Floor, but at the same time she is happy that she has a son she loves ("And the only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce")
Overall, its a sad but very real story about decisions. This is all based on a true story and this is how i believe things happened. I also think that everyone can create their own version of this story and how it ended. Amazing videos, for sure!
I'm Broadcaster that's exactly what I think, but it's so confusing because on Angela she have the tattoo that she mades on Sleep On The Floor, and the key of the car is the same in SOTF and Angela 😥
Iván Ramírez Oh thats right! So maybe it did happen!
I think this too !! just one detail that i don't quite understand , there is the 4th music video ( Ophelia ) that guy and the girl from the band are the same couple she saw at the air port and are the same couple in the little party at home from this video and the (sleep on the floor video) , how those couple relate to the story ? did she cheated somewhere along the story ? like when she was sad ? mmmm so confusing
OH WOW after watching the three videos i had to scroll down for this kind of explanation. thanks mate.
Thank you for this!
I really don’t think I am too early to this comment section, but this song resonates with me a ton based on the scenes in this video. I originally discovered this song on Spotify, but with the laughing and wholesome gestures in the music video, it definitely brings more tears to my eyes. Thank you for creating this song and thank you for the countless performances across the world.
This song is like my home, I can feel hugged. And like any other teenager, I'm a dreamer and one day I'll save up all my money and travel the world, from south to north
A planet is too big for us to limit it to just one city
Incase you're wondering what he whispers to her, he says: "If we don't leave now, you may never make it out."
Yea thats why I'm searchin in coments. Tq
Yeap! helps me, that don't use English as first language
Ty bro
@OAT351 lol
did u know the girl name?
When I was 5 or 6, my family and I drove down to Florida to see my grandparents. I was sitting next to the window in the back of the van, and everyone was asleep except my dad who was driving. On the way down, we passed a couple in a truck, probably mid 20s. When we passed, they saw me in the back seat and were waving and smiling and put up peace signs . They looked so happy and I remember how much it made me smile...this video reminds me of them.... I wonder if they ever thought about that 5 year old they waved at? I hope they're both happy.
the comment made my heart spill over

This comment is so beautiful
this comment filled the hole in my heart
This video didn't make me cry for you to come here, comment that and make me drop tears, it's not okay man
Just tears from eyes, this is the dream life, yeah, this is real freedom
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - The Road to Awakening” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you
We met 1983 at age 27 at a small club in Ann Arbor (Joe's Star Lounge, now gone... REM played there ). I had one failed 4 yr relationship, she had several. I told her very bad jokes. We saw lots of small movies, beat up the bed, and both worked at our jobs very hard. Did that for 5 years and I started to roam. We broke up. I tried two other women, but just a couple months later I came back and said... "lets give it another go". We did. Still worked very hard at our jobs... moved in together, finally after 10 yrs of dating and living I said... "lets get married" . We did, on a Sunday, Halloween, 1993 on stage at the Majestic Theater in Detroit where I had been one of their sound guys.. Now I'm 63, she is 64. We still go out to small clubs, to the NOLA Jazz and Heritage Fest, Ann Arbor Summer Fest. We pet the 2 cats and life is good. It can happen like that.
ಥ⌣ಥ beautiful
omg I can cry rigt now. I want this type love
ok boomer
Hey hey I live in Ann Arbor!
I was having goosebumps reading this.❤❤❤❤❤
oh Jesus this is beautiful.. the song the video the lumineers everything just amazing.
I typed & erased & typed & erased... no word can _____ it, it's sooooo ______ (feel & fill the blanks)
Jasleen the fact that you said oh Jesus is ironic considering the fact in this song He said Jesus CANT Save You Tonight.
what are your thoughts on that? are you an atheist?
Isiskos dude I didn't started cursing at you I just wanted to know your thoughts. you know what helped me get through my break-up pain the love of God man
Guys , i just uploaded the lyrics of this beautiful song in my channel , check it out please
Jasleen. The song seems beautiful, until they say Jesus Christ cannot save me now. If only that wasn't said.
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - In The Sky” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕🎉

"if we don't leave now we might never make it out."
"you know that we'll never leave, if we don't get out now, now, now"
Connor Motsinger hits my heart makes me long to run
this song makes me want to drive across the country and never look back

Makes me want a car right now...
"Pack yourself a toothbrush dear" I love how they both completely forgot that part
haha good point

"Clean your brushing fingers, dear"

Happy 7th Anniversary to "Sleep on The Floor!" This milestone marks seven years of resonating melodies and heartfelt lyrics that have woven themselves into the fabric of our memories.

As we celebrate seven years of this musical gem, we not only commemorate its artistic brilliance but also recognize the enduring impact it has had on the hearts of those who have found solace and inspiration within its verses. Here's to "Sleep on The Floor," a timeless anthem that continues to resonate and uplift us on our own journeys.

It’s 3 A.M. Dark night everyone is asleep, it’s so cold & quiet and I’m running outside under the shadow of stars, listening The Lumineers - Sleep On The Floor. Magical feeling :)
really magical feeling
Am I the only one that wishes this was a movie
Lol I thought this was a movie
There is a movie with a similar sort of feel to it (to me) called Elizabethtown. Give it a go if you haven't already, it's one of my favorites
@@Primalfreeze Gonna watch that, thanks!
The director released an 84 minute un-edited version of the music video. Search Isaac Ravishankara on Vimeo
There are a few movies with similiar plots, Into the Wild is one, isn't a love story but I would dare is that is quite romantic actually, Paper Towns is another one not as good as Into the Wild but the ending was nice IMO, another one is The Motorcycle Diaries which has as well a kind of a more serious turn of events. There are certainly more movies but these are the ones that I have watched and can recommend.
I came back here after 6 years and this song feels just as beautiful.
I can find peace in the sound of this song. Makes me feel like not everything is already decided.
I just want a Netflix series about this video.
apparently there is a full movie made

Maddi Söderholm you know what? I am totally ok with that!
Awesome song. Awesome music video. Lumineers are one of a handful of current bands who always knock out of the park.
When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. I now have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💝
0:30 "if we dont leave now you might never make it out"
Thanking you later
Thank you!!!
thank you
thanks ...my rewind button was about to break just so i can figure out what did he say to her
The worst thing you can do is watch this at 2am alone knowing that you'll probably be single forever
That's not something you can know, enjoy the 2am's loneliness. That's an important step to find that someone :)
Being single is like being stuck in the mud,,you have to take a step forward in order to get out.. I wrote Hallmark greeting cards in Cincinnati for over 20 years...That was one of my best sellers ironically at Valentines..
this line hit me hard
Me
I was lonely for a while and I met someone who didn't talk to very many people and was often quite lonely herself. We began to talk and after nearly a month we told eachother how we felt. We are now extremely happy together. It just goes to show amazing things can happen because of bad situations.
To the stranger who recommended me this video and the movie PERFECT DAYS. Thank you
It’s been 5 years since I first saw it and genuinely my favorite song ever since and now. Everything is perfect - words, chords, voice, clip and the point. It drastically changed my attitude towards life values. I wish everyone who’s reading this a really exciting and happy life ❤ never lose this in you
Gives me goosebumps since the very first second
This song reminds me of the first 7 years of my marriage. We road tripped, couch surfed, and camped continuously. It was a blast, and we got to know each other well, and we got to see almost the entire country. We even road tripped across Canada one summer. Having kiddos changes everything, and although I love having a family, this video makes me tear up. Those memories are precious, and I look forward to growing old with my wife and doing this again as old people. :)
Wholesome comment. I hope to meet someone like that one day. 🤙🏻
I feel the same
Do it with your kids in tow. My parents traveled the US together with us when we was growing up. It really made our lives better for it as adults
Very envious of that I only wish to be able to achieve anything near that without losing it
Don't wait until you're old. What the future holds for us is not guaranteed.
The whole music video is based around a "what if?". You see her leave her body at the beginning and then at the end you see her lying on the floor where she originally started. This whole journey didn't happen because she let the opportunity go. This is sad.
Or maybe because he died and this is what she wanted to do but he died
@@kianobird6839 prob, but that's a what if tho.
@@kianobird6839 He didn't die. He gave her an ultimatum: unless she marries him and leaves the funeral of her father he will remains to be with her. She chose to stay at her father's funeral so he left her. After many years she regrets this choice and imagines what would have happened if she made a different choice back then. Listen to "Cleopatra" which tells this story: ua-cam.com/video/aN5s9N_pTUs/v-deo.html
"I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress
When you knelt by my mattress, and asked for my hand
But I was sad you asked it, as I laid in a black dress
With my father in a casket, I had no plans, yeah
And I left the footprints, the mud stained on the carpet
And it hardened like my heart did when you left town
But I must admit it, that I would marry you in an instant
Damn your wife, I'd be your mistress just to have you around
But I was late for this, late for that, late for the love of my life
And when I die alone, when I die alone, when I die I'll be on time"
This is what this song is really about. And it's quite sad to yearn for somebody who just leaves you in the darkest times of your life just because you can't decide right away.
@@krisztianszanto2312 it was the end of the cérémonial.
He make thé good moove but she made thé wrong choice.
Àt thé end, we see à women in Black go out... , it was her, old and single.
And if they have not toothbross its because they need of Nothing for being Happy.
Just be together.
Soulmate.
Are you saying this never happened?? 😭😭
Love how all the songs tie together
The heartbreaking cinematography of this video is spectacular and tragic in its runtime. This is still one of my most favorite songs to sing alone or in the car, and really belt it.
I just realized that she actually never ran away with him 0:43 my god this makes me sad af now
i was looking through the comments to see if someone else noticed bc that breaks my heart .and in the end shes also just back homeeee:((((((((((
D: !!!
Your comment made me think of a Robert Frost poem called 'The Road Not Taken:
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
yup the girl is thinking that if she runs away with him, she will be happy but sadly, she didn't. the vid wants us to realize that we need to choose what makes us happy because at the end of the day, u will regret it like that girl on the vid
Seoyoon - she’s at his funeral
I want to do this so bad but I'm missing 3 things, money, a car, and a boyfriend
One day you'll have all 3 or what you need in your heart and soul to carry out this journey..
One day you will have enough cheese to feed the world pal haha
@@jaimeportilla7102 hey i can feel u mate
truth 😂😂
Same !!!🤣🤣
I take this song - as don't let anybody clip your wings... fly as far as you can- this is a message for the young ones out there...spread your wings!
This was the moment I missed her. I will never have her again but I am so privileged to have her for a moment 😊
this video makes me so happy and sad at the same time.
Jose Diaz yep
I saw them play live in Denver 6 years ago (before they were famous world wide). Samuel Scott Mccumber was the opener and the show was amazing!
don't ever tell someone that
Jose Diaz me too 😢
wtf
This brings tears to my eyes because it's honestly all I want in life
isabella-umbrella i ve the same, that was my first thought !!!
same
This is why I love film. Sometimes it can express complex ideas with imagery and sound when we thought the task was previously impossible using words. At the end of the day, I suppose the presence of emotion, whatever it may be, is what truly matters.
isabella-umbrella though this video and song is hard for me to watch and listen to.... me and my ex gf did something like this. We traveled across the state a couple times back and fourth from the east to the west just living like this. Driving through places we've never been to before.. and though these memories hurt the time that we were together and everything that we'd done just felt right. It was a great time in my life not worrying about anything and just being able to live free and travel.
i have it
this is so emotional
太特么好听了，大学到工作一直在听，你们的歌声弥补了我多少难受的时刻，期待更多的作品😭😭😭😭
2:15 its sooo natural and cute
Nice song im marti
Hebele Hübele selam
Been a fan few years back and still bawlin my eyes out everytime I visit this video to listen the song - pierced to my soul❤
Achei uma história interessante e genial, a forma na qual os 3 clipes ensinam sobre a vida e suas escolhas de forma emocionante e intrigante, utilizando a imagem de uma senhora taxista e suas escolhas de vida de forma impressionante tornam o álbum algo difícil de não se arrepiar ou deixar uma lágrima cair. Além disso, a música é bonita, com uma letra agradável e um ritmo bem produzido. Portanto, concluo que todo o álbum Cleópatra é ótimo e cheio de músicas, recomendo para todos os outros brasileiros lendo isso que ouçam o álbum com atenção em seus clipes para descobrir uma história linda.
There was a girl I was in love with and we often wanted to run away like this. This was our song and after our break up I couldn't stop listening to it. Id take long drives at night by myself and visit our favorite places. Now the song just seem therapeutic reminding me of the good times and the somber times
Same
Same, alot of love still out there... Just hurts when You can't have what You really want. One thing my Dad my Mom and many others have told me, if it doesn't work it's most likely because it's not meant to be... Sad as hell but True. 🙏🏻💜✌️🏻 Stay easy and yes remember the good memories but move forward with the new ones...
same, lo mismo hermano
brooo you just made me cry so hard......
PFCpuente feel you
I love the piano chord progression at the beginning, almost wish the song was written around it
dude same!
listen to Angela there's an extended version of it at the end
Oh I just realized all the music videos are connected whoops ._.
hello friend, im in
It's 'Patience' of their album :)
Storytelling in its pure form.
I just wanna say thanks to The Lumineers for making such awesome tunes! Their songs aren't just like any songs; it's like, melodies with words that really mean something to me. Whenever I'm feeling all mixed up, their music helps me find peace within myself, amidst all the chaos that often leaves me feeling lost. Who needs therapy when their music speaks to my soul?
I'm scared if I have the time of my life when I'm young cause when I'm older I'll only ever think of how good life used to be
Travis Summerfield that's exactly what happens
But if you don't live life to the fullest now, won't you regret not doing it later? My, what a paradox we have here.
Travis Summerfield Don't. Just do it. You will regret it if your never get to know what it is to be living. Trust me. I know. Just live now. Now is all that matters. Go.
i mean that's going to happen anyway, so you might as well actually have some legitimate good memories as opposed to romanticizing whatever boring normal stuff you were doing anyway
No. If you temper yourself well, learn yourself, work to improve yourself and be authentic, then all your memories and past experiences will merge into you, they will become essences within your spirit, and there may be bittersweet moments looking back, but if you do it right, you can be right there again, just by looking back.
Don't be dead before you have to be.
The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you'll never have. (c)
F**kin A brother.
and now I'm crying
Same though
caught in the feelings
There is no future. There's only now, it's always now... And you always have it. To live a life crippled by things which never came into existence isn't actually living at all.
these guys are in my playlist all the time
the acting is superb... takes an extraordinary song and adds so much more. Love it
i wish the person who read this have a wonderful day
Thanks!! I hope the same for you as well!!

Thanks you too! Wish you the best.
and a wonderful day it was, i hope the same for you fellow comrade
Interpretation…
“Sleep on the floor” is an indirect way of saying get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Real relationships.
The intro is visioned with a funeral, but I think there is a deeper meaning with context of a relationship(s).
It’s really a break-up/parting ways message.
The sacrifice of comfortability is what challenges the strengths in our relationship(s). The uncomfortableness really is a tests for us.
If we don’t take the chances that were once prompted with, we risk the possibility of what could have been. That’s the fear of unknowing.
What prevails are those defining moments. What was felt and left, especially after things didn’t work out, is our feeling of what love is, and that’s what we will forever chase.
damn
I really like that last sentence.
Nice words, thanks for writing it down!
Wow, what a comment. I feel like it applies to life in general as well and not just in relationships
nice words it’s a great song but Jesus always saves
Who listen 2024)
Sure❤
