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.
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.
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.
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.
Noah Dominic Silvio I’ve known this song for a long time but only know I became aware of this. Thank you so much guys! *Insert “I’m so proud of this community” meme*
For anyone struggling. I love you. Just because you exist. You may be lost, feel alone, and have no idea what to do with yourself. I've been there, and I'm still alive. People care. Even when you can't see it yourself. I promise you they do. I hope someone hugs you so tight and kisses the top of your head with love.
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!
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
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 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.
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
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
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
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!
"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.
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.
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
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.
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 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
love you sidra, you will be a great mother i know we fight because if silly things but i would never want to leave you. and pray that we never gonna give up on usss ever
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.
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.
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. The significance of this song goes beyond its catchy tunes; it encapsulates a journey of love, resilience, and the courage to embrace the unknown. "Sleep on The Floor" has become a soundtrack for countless moments, serving as a companion through both the highs and lows of life. Its importance lies in its ability to evoke emotions, to transport us to distant landscapes, and to remind us that sometimes the most meaningful experiences come from stepping outside our comfort zones. 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.
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?
The story is complete! Cleopatra and Angela are the same girl as here in "Sleep on the Floor". Its about a girl who was in love with a boy. Her father died and the guy she loved asked are to basically run off with him and thats when the story splits. One part she runs off with him and the other she doesn't. The part where she runs off with him is her imagining what could have happened, then she's snapped back to reality where she's "Sleeping on the Floor". In "Angela" she stays home and marries someone she doesn't love and realizes it while she's laying in bed. She gets up and leaves and is happy to leave because thats what she wanted and should have done in the first place. (The firs album in "Slow it Down" he says 'Angie come back to bead'. Makes you think how long this story's been brewing.) In "Cleopatra" she's older working as a taxi driver where she's reminiscing over past memories as she's on her way to pick up her son from the airport (i believe) to take him to his fathers, where it splits again as she thinks about what life would be like if she never got up in the middle of the night in "Angela" and left. This is a story of a girls struggle through life as well as her regrets. But she seems happy the be right where she is. Man I love The Lumineers.
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. :)
The Lumineers goes in soo hard on this right here! only reason they aint getting more hits is cuz The Lumineers aint just watchign that short *on my channel* explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
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.
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 😥
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
@@frencesslabiba this video is based on real life story of an old woman who regrets not going when his man asks him to run away with him. But he did that on very wrong time ( dad's funeral ). So she didn't said yes that moment. The man thought she rejected him and left the town never to be seen again.
I wish my dad come back just for one day and sing this song for me. Miss him. For me, it's not a song about couples. It's about love, like the one of dad's for his daughter.
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.

It's been over 5 years since I first watched this. It lit a spark in me. I was fresh out of high school and it made me want to drive 9 hours alone to hike some mountains in Georgia. Now i'm 24, driven around 40 states, thousands of cities. Wouldn't redo a second of it.
@@Dragonslice29 i really wish i had done this... although im only 23. always dream of driving across canada. but i fell into some bad stuff awhile back and lost my licence and slowly losing hope for what im going to do or become. im glad you found ur way
@@Latvijas_Amēlija you woke up today and that's the most we can wish for everyday. we only have so much time on earth, use it being human. make those mistakes, stumble and fall, hit brick walls. every failure makes you better and every day makes you stronger! Get up and never be afraid to do what's right for your life. much love ❤️
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.
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.
sinto-me a pessoa mais sortuda do mundo quando penso que em 2016 eu acabei caindo de paraquedas aqui, e essa foi a queda mais legal que eu tive. the lumineers, provavelmente vocês nunca saibam, mas vocês me ajudaram muito quando eu era apenas uma menina muito perdida no ensino médio. ❤
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.
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.
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.
i had a boyfriend of 3 years who i loved so much that i always felt that we were meant for each other and we are soulmates. then we separated in our ways for 4 years. i always avoided to talk to him because i didn't want to restart my letting go process. but recently, i talked to him for hours and it was just so lovely that i felt i still love him so much. i felt that i only locked it all deep in my heart. many things happened in those years and i dont really see us together again, but i really love those years i was with him and honestly there is nothing more btfl than that. in the beginning of our relationship, we used to listen to this. and my best friends from college, we were all 22, 23 and finding love and listening to things like this. and share how we are falling in love etc. now things broke in between, we lost ourselves, many things happened. sad to accept this, but then i am so thankful for those btfl years. i really miss 2017. i miss my love back then and my friends back then and myself back then...
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!
I have no words to describe this song. It just makes me so happy and fills me with hope. I hope it inspires a lot of people to change their lives instead of choosing to live a comfortable boring life.
Comfortable and boring are exclusive things, but usually together. Not necessarily. latelag probably meant that. If you're bored, then you're boring meaning you don't posses enough creativity to make your time/life interesting. Lots of of people make something out of nothing and a lot have no idea what to do with all the things they have. Nothing personal, have a nice day! :D
I think you are each talking about two different aspects of life: day to day life versus stepping back and looking at the big picture. Some people are "boring' because deep down they are afraid. They are afraid to step outside of their 'comfort zone' and risk very real loss to go after what really moves them. We're not talking about entertaining yourself after work. We're talking about finding that meaning in life that transcends what you thought was possible out of life. It's kind of like the difference between going to a concert or risking everything to be in the band.
every day we see so many things ' bad ' in our day to day, this video makes me happy to know that little things, gestures can make life happy, love really is the best feeling you can have < 3
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♥️
@@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 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.
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.
"There’s a depth to this song that hits different. The lyrics and melody feel like they’re pulling at your heartstrings, making you believe in the power of love all over again."
I don't understand why everyone in the comments is hating on being single. Being in a relationship can be beautiful, but there is also beauty in being single :)
I fell asleep to this song every night after my first real heartbreak. It felt like an apology I never got right from the beginning. The song also felt like a promise that this heartbreak was part of life and I’m doing something right. Like a hug of consolation.
This song makes me feel so strange. I feel so full of life and empty at the same time, with a splash of nostalgia whenever I listen to it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but oh well. Love it though.
A month ago, but I've just heard this for the first time and I was having the exact same feeling! Thank you for wording it so perfectly and I thought it deserved some recognition.
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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
I go back to this music video every time my heart feels full of love or when it’s been broken completely. It finds a way to make me cry in a bittersweet way. The last time I saw this, I was alone, reminiscing the idea of what could have been and why it didn’t work out. I’ve fallen in love again recently, and I’m sure this is the one. We go on adventures together-most of which are on a whim and other times, as simple as visiting a place we’ve never been to together. Whatever comes our way, we manage to figure it out in the end. I’ve loved before and for the first time, this is the one that feels right.
Small update: I've been with this lovely one for about a year now. I still get butterflies in my stomach each time I see him, and his presence makes me feel safe and comfortable enough to be myself or a version of myself I've never realized was there all along. Although recently, there are times when it feels like I'm losing him. I have this looming fear that one day, I'm not enough for him to stay. Yesterday, I've had an overwhelming feeling of that, which is why I've come back to this music video. I guess I just need a reminder to make the most of whatever time we might have left.
@@danielleinthedenoh dear, i hope that feeling is gone & you both are still happy. Do never worry about problems which are not here yet! It only pulls you down. Stay in the presend, enjoy what you got. All the best.
This masterpiece stirs a powerful sense of freedom and adventure in me. It makes me imagine wandering a world without borders, hand in hand with my girl, leaving behind everything familiar to chase dreams and embrace the unknown. The song’s bittersweet melody fuels that longing to break free, live boldly, and create unforgettable memories together, no matter where the road takes us.
I am leaving this comment here, so when someone likes it, I get reminded and can come back to listen again. Who wants to stop listening to this beautiful creation!!
i read every stranger comments in here, and imagine what they are doin now and whether they still come back here and still can go back to the time of the beautiful memories that this song reminds of us. i hope u guys always happy wherever u are
Everytime I listen to this song, I end up being in tears. The feeling of being in love, the way we take care of the person we love, and knowing that they feel the same for you. I was a socially anxious kid who fell in love with a girl. I never imagined that I would actually get to be with her. The way she made me comfortable around her, its insane. She is everything to me, my whole world, my love.
@@ecm7020 Same here bro literally I'm crying how should I talk to her in flowing conversation by saying anything to her I think twice will it gonna make her upset when I'm around her She talk to me so comfortable indeed she is trying to engage with me
Listening to this while realising that i have lost the love of my life and with her i have lost a part of my soul.. this song can forever make me cry.. such a beautiful art peice❤
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, 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...
My wife and I literally lived this video. It was every bit challenging, fun, scary, adventurous free spirited, angry, beautiful chapter in our book together that started in Alabama going to Connecticut, with endless memories along the east until we eventually returned to where it all began
Это так потрясающе 😍 хотела бы я так же встретить человека, с которым мы воссоздадим такую же картину в жизни, спасибо вам, что я всё ещё верю в любовь❤
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 😊
Lyrics: 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 your 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 bridges break Jesus Christ can't save me tonight Put on your dress, yes wear something nice Decide on me, yea 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 ✌🏻👽
While the video represents what I day dream (or more often than not night dream) while I am on a long drive, the lyrics represent running away from faith and essentially family. I could never truly do that (my dad would chase me cross country if I tried) but Jesus would be rolling with me for sure!
@@angel007sherm wrong, why don't you actually read NT other than the books by Paul the antikrist? Gospels and Revelation condemn everyone (you) but 144,000 Israelite virgins to torture and murder, at the endtimes 1950 years ago. There weren't even any women in heaven. my antitheism resources: google "Kristians don't exist"
I like this song. I feel like, it's making the choice of staying into your comfort zone. or leaving your comfort zone and being with the one person who no matter what you can see yourself with. Just leaving where you are comfortable, so you get a fresh start. I dig that.
She actually didn't leave though if you watch till the ending it was all her imagination/dream, and she woke up the same dress she wore in the beginning of the music video. But if you watched the full length album video "The Ballad of Cleopatra" it had a different ending, she did go with him and at the end she was driving the car and it focused on the tattoo of a wave she got.
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..
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.
This song has been with me since years, today I finally got it tattooed on my rib. It says “Rail against the dying day” I’m so proud of it.. hold your loved ones tightly 🥺 you never know it’s your last.
I love this video and song. To me it represents a very passionate partnership. Im saddened I haven't found that person, one i could only dream up something like this, which is the saddest part when she wakes up in the end. Beautiful and bittersweet. Always makes me cry.
Just a lonely African girl who feels like she's stuck in a never ending state of lack. It breaks my heart I won't be able to leave my tiny country in this big world. I love this song so much ❤️
Girl I'm the exact same, I love in Northern Ireland and the people here aren't the nicest.. I hope someday I can leave this place, hold in there we'll see the world in all it's colours one day ❤ even though it feels small and our lives don't have much purpose, but it's only temporary. We'll see everything we put our mind to :) don't forget your dreams 💖😊x
the song reminds me of my dreams, my hopes and what it would be to travel around the globe with someone special. it's one at night, and the world sleeps, yet this songs gives me hope that no matter how bad things seem, everything would be alright. Just breathe and smile, and give it time, things would get better!
You don't have to travel. I've been with the same wonderful girl for 35 years and we've barely traveled other than up and down the west coast and a little bit of Mexico. When you are with the right person ...wherever you are is where you need to be :) ... of course two wonderful boys had a say in that lol!
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).
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 :/
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
I read a lot of the comments. I have a 24 year old daughter and this song is her favorite. Makes me think of raising her in a small town in Maine and watching her grow into a beautiful adult and leave us.
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.
@@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.
hmm that's interesting...I feel it confirms exactly what I thought before the pandemic: we have go to not take things for granted but do today whatever we can to make sure we are living our best life and f#$% the banks and and debtors and those that may judge because it is easy, I am going to rail against my dying day (but social distance yes, I am not seeking death)...and those whose parents help them pay the rent, well I guess they are lucky.. or am I luckier that I always had to figure it out for myself and feel that much stronger now.. sending positive vibes with this song in my mind. Peace
The song is great, but it's the video that makes me come back. As a backpacker, I truly believe that if everyone would travel off the beaten track at least once in their lives, the world would be a much better place.
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 !
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 😞....
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
This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!

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
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
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.
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
now that's beauty and sadness altogether

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.
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!
Awe ❤
Love this...
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 ☺️
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.
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.

omg I can cry rigt now. I want this type love

Hey hey I live in Ann Arbor!
I was having goosebumps reading this.❤❤❤❤❤
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?
This....I really really need this. I just need to live for once. No more worries and stress. I just need this

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 ❤
love you sidra, you will be a great mother i know we fight because if silly things but i would never want to leave you. and pray that we never gonna give up on usss ever
So happy for you guys! ❤
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.

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. The significance of this song goes beyond its catchy tunes; it encapsulates a journey of love, resilience, and the courage to embrace the unknown. "Sleep on The Floor" has become a soundtrack for countless moments, serving as a companion through both the highs and lows of life. Its importance lies in its ability to evoke emotions, to transport us to distant landscapes, and to remind us that sometimes the most meaningful experiences come from stepping outside our comfort zones. 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.

2:10 2:11
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"
The story is complete! Cleopatra and Angela are the same girl as here in "Sleep on the Floor". Its about a girl who was in love with a boy. Her father died and the guy she loved asked are to basically run off with him and thats when the story splits. One part she runs off with him and the other she doesn't. The part where she runs off with him is her imagining what could have happened, then she's snapped back to reality where she's "Sleeping on the Floor".
In "Angela" she stays home and marries someone she doesn't love and realizes it while she's laying in bed. She gets up and leaves and is happy to leave because thats what she wanted and should have done in the first place.
(The firs album in "Slow it Down" he says 'Angie come back to bead'. Makes you think how long this story's been brewing.)
In "Cleopatra" she's older working as a taxi driver where she's reminiscing over past memories as she's on her way to pick up her son from the airport (i believe) to take him to his fathers, where it splits again as she thinks about what life would be like if she never got up in the middle of the night in "Angela" and left.
This is a story of a girls struggle through life as well as her regrets. But she seems happy the be right where she is. Man I love The Lumineers.
mannnnnnn im speechless
Todd Switalski I got chills
UA-cam recommended me to watch this video, and I'm so glad it did!
wow.. you explained it so well.. thanks!!💞
So Ophelia would be Wesley imagining himself leaving the band?
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 Lumineers goes in soo hard on this right here! only reason they aint getting more hits is cuz The Lumineers aint just watchign that short *on my channel* explaining how all these rappers out here be blowing up so big
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
Chance The Wrapper
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
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!
She never ran away with him, this just shows what couldve happened if she did. So just do it.
Never seen it that way, but it's so true..
Omg 😢
@Match Day it was her dad's funeral lol
@@theRobler how do you know
@@frencesslabiba this video is based on real life story of an old woman who regrets not going when his man asks him to run away with him. But he did that on very wrong time ( dad's funeral ). So she didn't said yes that moment. The man thought she rejected him and left the town never to be seen again.
I wish my dad come back just for one day and sing this song for me. Miss him. For me, it's not a song about couples. It's about love, like the one of dad's for his daughter.
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.

It's been over 5 years since I first watched this. It lit a spark in me. I was fresh out of high school and it made me want to drive 9 hours alone to hike some mountains in Georgia. Now i'm 24, driven around 40 states, thousands of cities. Wouldn't redo a second of it.

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.

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 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!
Can I join next time please?
Awesome to have that sweet memory with your daughter ❤, I was a Nurse for 40 years, that too was a wonderful experience ❤
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 had a boyfriend of 3 years who i loved so much that i always felt that we were meant for each other and we are soulmates. then we separated in our ways for 4 years. i always avoided to talk to him because i didn't want to restart my letting go process. but recently, i talked to him for hours and it was just so lovely that i felt i still love him so much. i felt that i only locked it all deep in my heart. many things happened in those years and i dont really see us together again, but i really love those years i was with him and honestly there is nothing more btfl than that. in the beginning of our relationship, we used to listen to this. and my best friends from college, we were all 22, 23 and finding love and listening to things like this. and share how we are falling in love etc. now things broke in between, we lost ourselves, many things happened. sad to accept this, but then i am so thankful for those btfl years. i really miss 2017. i miss my love back then and my friends back then and myself back then...

I have no words to describe this song. It just makes me so happy and fills me with hope. I hope it inspires a lot of people to change their lives instead of choosing to live a comfortable boring life.
latetag a comfortable AND boring life. "If you're bored, then you're boring." what?
Comfortable and boring are exclusive things, but usually together. Not necessarily.
latelag probably meant that.
If you're bored, then you're boring meaning you don't posses enough creativity to make your time/life interesting.
Lots of of people make something out of nothing and a lot have no idea what to do with all the things they have.
Nothing personal, have a nice day! :D
I think you are each talking about two different aspects of life: day to day life versus stepping back and looking at the big picture. Some people are "boring' because deep down they are afraid. They are afraid to step outside of their 'comfort zone' and risk very real loss to go after what really moves them. We're not talking about entertaining yourself after work. We're talking about finding that meaning in life that transcends what you thought was possible out of life. It's kind of like the difference between going to a concert or risking everything to be in the band.
every day we see so many things ' bad ' in our day to day, this video makes me happy to know that little things, gestures can make life happy, love really is the best feeling you can have < 3
Point of life is love ,boring is just a step that you need to step
through.
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♥️

@@A2Z2REAL BIBLE calls us all to be real, sober minded souls, who live holy lives on earth.
BIBLE calls nor expect nobody to be:

Each human life on earth:
- repent
- BORN AGAIN and GO AND SIN NO MORE

Bible calls us to give out RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT, no to keep our mouth shut and support everything with blind eyes and deaf ears.

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
i wish the person who read this have a wonderful day
Thanks!! I hope the same for you as well!!
thanks, your comment and this video so cheered me up today before the exam that I passed the exam perfectly🤧

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.

I fell asleep to this song every night after my first real heartbreak. It felt like an apology I never got right from the beginning. The song also felt like a promise that this heartbreak was part of life and I’m doing something right. Like a hug of consolation.
This song makes me feel so strange. I feel so full of life and empty at the same time, with a splash of nostalgia whenever I listen to it. I can't quite put my finger on it, but oh well. Love it though.
you are right the same thing happens to me the song provocates two different feelings hope and sadness
Same here, Amigo! One hand it warms you up and on the other hand chills you down!!

A month ago, but I've just heard this for the first time and I was having the exact same feeling! Thank you for wording it so perfectly and I thought it deserved some recognition.
I couldn't describe the feeling any better
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.

"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.
This was the moment I missed her. I will never have her again but I am so privileged to have her for a moment 😊
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
I go back to this music video every time my heart feels full of love or when it’s been broken completely. It finds a way to make me cry in a bittersweet way. The last time I saw this, I was alone, reminiscing the idea of what could have been and why it didn’t work out.
I’ve fallen in love again recently, and I’m sure this is the one. We go on adventures together-most of which are on a whim and other times, as simple as visiting a place we’ve never been to together. Whatever comes our way, we manage to figure it out in the end.
I’ve loved before and for the first time, this is the one that feels right.
Thank you for writing this. ❤
I am happy for you. Hold on to it. Grow together.
Ваш коммент вызвал во мне много слёз 💔

Small update: I've been with this lovely one for about a year now. I still get butterflies in my stomach each time I see him, and his presence makes me feel safe and comfortable enough to be myself or a version of myself I've never realized was there all along.
Although recently, there are times when it feels like I'm losing him. I have this looming fear that one day, I'm not enough for him to stay. Yesterday, I've had an overwhelming feeling of that, which is why I've come back to this music video. I guess I just need a reminder to make the most of whatever time we might have left.
@@danielleinthedenoh dear, i hope that feeling is gone & you both are still happy. Do never worry about problems which are not here yet! It only pulls you down. Stay in the presend, enjoy what you got. All the best.
This masterpiece stirs a powerful sense of freedom and adventure in me. It makes me imagine wandering a world without borders, hand in hand with my girl, leaving behind everything familiar to chase dreams and embrace the unknown. The song’s bittersweet melody fuels that longing to break free, live boldly, and create unforgettable memories together, no matter where the road takes us.

Everytime I listen to this song, I end up being in tears. The feeling of being in love, the way we take care of the person we love, and knowing that they feel the same for you. I was a socially anxious kid who fell in love with a girl. I never imagined that I would actually get to be with her. The way she made me comfortable around her, its insane. She is everything to me, my whole world, my love.
This comment made me cry (happy tears)

And a broken dream. She never ran away with him, as seen in the last scene
Listening to this while realising that i have lost the love of my life and with her i have lost a part of my soul.. this song can forever make me cry.. such a beautiful art peice❤
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

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...

My wife and I literally lived this video. It was every bit challenging, fun, scary, adventurous free spirited, angry, beautiful chapter in our book together that started in Alabama going to Connecticut, with endless memories along the east until we eventually returned to where it all began
Это так потрясающе 😍 хотела бы я так же встретить человека, с которым мы воссоздадим такую же картину в жизни, спасибо вам, что я всё ещё верю в любовь❤
Awesome song. Awesome music video. Lumineers are one of a handful of current bands who always knock out of the park.

Guys , i just uploaded the lyrics of this beautiful song in my channel , check it out please
Isa P I believe they already did for Ho Hey
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 😊
Lyrics:
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 your 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 bridges break
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
Put on your dress, yes wear something nice
Decide on me, yea 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
✌🏻👽
While the video represents what I day dream (or more often than not night dream) while I am on a long drive, the lyrics represent running away from faith and essentially family. I could never truly do that (my dad would chase me cross country if I tried) but Jesus would be rolling with me for sure!
Thank you
Thanks

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.

It's 'Patience' of their album :)
the song reminds me of my dreams, my hopes and what it would be to travel around the globe with someone special. it's one at night, and the world sleeps, yet this songs gives me hope that no matter how bad things seem, everything would be alright. Just breathe and smile, and give it time, things would get better!
Beautiful, needed this! Thanks :)
Same thank you ❤️
but when? when, when will they improve?...
You don't have to travel. I've been with the same wonderful girl for 35 years and we've barely traveled other than up and down the west coast and a little bit of Mexico. When you are with the right person ...wherever you are is where you need to be :) ... of course two wonderful boys had a say in that lol!
This teared me up
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 :/

"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 read a lot of the comments. I have a 24 year old daughter and this song is her favorite. Makes me think of raising her in a small town in Maine and watching her grow into a beautiful adult and leave us.
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?? 😭😭
This video is literally the recreation of my thoughts when a random girl sits by me in a bus
Lmao same

@@avamasquerade hahah hold up

listening to this music during quarantine hits in a different way :(
Abderrahmane MEHENNI yea wishing to go out . Just let me see the sunset by the beach for 30 min and ill be thankful.. i feel depressed
hmm that's interesting...I feel it confirms exactly what I thought before the pandemic: we have go to not take things for granted but do today whatever we can to make sure we are living our best life and f#$% the banks and and debtors and those that may judge because it is easy, I am going to rail against my dying day (but social distance yes, I am not seeking death)...and those whose parents help them pay the rent, well I guess they are lucky.. or am I luckier that I always had to figure it out for myself and feel that much stronger now.. sending positive vibes with this song in my mind. Peace
I discovered this song during quarantine... It hurts but it's beautiful
The Lumineers always have such songs that touch me to my core...
Its crazy how many people come back to this everyday... this song is a masterpiece!
I agree!
Agree
The song is great, but it's the video that makes me come back. As a backpacker, I truly believe that if everyone would travel off the beaten track at least once in their lives, the world would be a much better place.
