@@deusvult6571 but what if they are happy rn

Because it has a really happy sound to it but a really really dark meaning

That nostalgic feeling for things never personally experienced is called "anemoia."

@@ErykaSoleil It's a made up word by The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, but has now taken on a real life and is in usage it seems. Funny how language works that way. I had often felt anemoia before having a name for it.

@@GGTutor1 all words are made up

beach boys feel flows...

That's called melancholia

have you listened to birdy’s cover? its so beautiful omg

I think it depends on what you like... I pretty much prefer Pentatonics version of everything... I just really like their sound.

I agree with you totally

@@tashagraced I can't stand the Pentatonix, I feel they make everything have a stage musical vibe. Totally ruins it.

@@chompskyhonk7222 Not sure why you're watching their videos on KZfaq if you don't like them, but everyone is of course entitled to their own likes and dislikes! I love the haunting sound a capella adds to songs.

that is sick

That's insane

Wow that’s amazing. See that’s why I like talking to strangers bc you never know who people are. More and more I realize that life is not only about what you know but also about WHO you know❤❤❤

It's such a thrill when someone starts talking about something you created and doesn't realize it's yours. That must have been a great moment for him too. Thanks for sharing this.

And u didn't marry

They mean to the Pentatonix version

fuckin pentatonix version sucks ass

Because of that version, I discovered this band and I am so happy tonight!

p

Because taste is subjective. The intro that PTX uses to layer in each singer is enough to make me prefer their version all on its own. Add in my enjoyment of their harmonies and individual voices, and it's a great song for my taste. I do like this version a lot, too.

Facts

We've all seen (except you maybe) the video to Frank Zappa's 'City Of Tiny Lights' (1979ish), so this here really isn't anything new or special. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e89xitFi367HenU.html But it is nice and I like it very much.

I'm sorry, these clay figures have names?

@@collinw9934 I believe there's one for each band member

You can try to turn back the clocks but in the end our time is still taken and even those we try to hold onto are taken.

I went back and looked for this moment after reading your comment and wow - the whole weight of the video just hit me. The passing of time, how it seems it was gone in a flash when it's over. Especially as a parent, that bunny moment gets me (the little vulnerable one you are taking care of will someday move on and it will seem like a surprise) Thanks for pointing out that detail!

Right on. It's about the novel The Road.

it's about the French Revolution."following the pack" they go see the executions.The red scarves are the revolutionaries. "to keep their little heads from falling in the snow" because at this time, you are guillotined if you are not a revolutionary. Michael don't have a red scarve, so he is not a revolutionary."you would fall" he was guillotined and his blood "turn the white snow red".

"From first grade to high school I spent every day with the same bunch of kids. And it was weird to see how people I had known so long would change so quickly - suddenly they’re drug dealers. I hated it. How did our friendships become less important than wearing a backwards baseball cap?" Direct quote from the singer

YES! I thought I was taking crazy pills when no one else thought this!

@@ludity7628 that makes so much sense

maddy mq This song has no meaning which makes it amazing

Actually, according to the writer, this song is a sort of a flashback to his childhood when he'd been "following the pack" of friends. Many of his friends fell into the drug culture (Michael you would fall). The snow turning red is a pretty obvious symbol for bleeding, or otherwise losing one's life.

rzwoofer wow, cool :-) i was interested to know the real meaning and wasn’t sure. that was just my interpretation of the song though. the song is very metaphorical and i think can be universally interpreted to whatever the listener is feeling, but thanks for letting me know! i love this band and it’s nice to know what the writer was feeling while creating the song.

I mean are you reading the lyrics or just watching the video? Because its really easy to interpret the video.

Actually I thought it was about gang warefare, bloods and crips. Okay not directly but it fits.

It's hard to enjoy life when you're technically under constant pressure 😒

Iriscent Moon then let goooo forget everything for a bit

Or try...I’m just trying to give advice not to pressure :/

@@danielalt7054 It's technically impossible for me since I have things that need to be completed. For example, getting high grades for my parents 😒

Iriscent Moon just pay attention in class...I end up doing it last minute but I understand it so I’m confident about it

Im in highsxhool and one of my friends from 6 years has went from being so nice and a kind gentalmen to now being a jerk and hanging out with a bad crowd I asked him one day if he was ok and the group he hung out with came by and they started to fight me I didnt fight back and he just stood there watching then he started laughing and said I left him and they other because im in high school and we can hardly see each other I pray everyday that he will come back me and my other two friends wish he was the same guy we knew all thos years but ge changed and it was scary to see

Thx for adding this. Its easy to interpret into alot of different things and alot of ppl thought it was about the French revolution (which makes sense if the real reason hadn't been stated) so thx!

Im pretty sure this song has no meaning at all. If I remember correctly they said it was just some funny lyrics and nothing more.

The lyrics refer to a scene from the post-apocalyptic novel The Road, where the father sees a band of scavenging cannibals dressed in white with red scarves.

There is another version saying this was during the French Revolution. The red scarfs are worn in order to be known as cooperators and are not against the French, except for one man named Michael that is said in the lyrics. He didn't wear the scarf and was taken to be beheaded my the French

@@FoxxFilmzz you might be from a place where its not as prevalent but here in the US and Canada they are some of the most popular musicians

@@FoxxFilmzz I think what happened is that people put have these songs in their memory but don't remember who wrote them. If I asked a random person if they knew Of Monsters And Men, they might find the name familiar but be unable to name a song. If I later played Little Talks or Mountain Sound, they might say "I used to play that song all the time!" I'm guilty of it too, though. I know artists and bands, and I know songs, but I often forget who did what.

Amen

Not me! :D

True

I agree, although I wouldn't call this particular song poetic. lol They've been quoted as saying that the lyrics don't actually mean anything in this song; it's supposed to be just about the harmony more than anything else.

+James Collins there you are James Collins you and your peacock effect!!!

it is whenever there's a school related choir "holidays" event but it's always a cringey acapella version of the song because Pentatonix did that one time.

Should not be a Christmas song, too good to only be played around Christmas.

Its a halloween song because it says “Michael u would fall“ fall means die And its turning red ans strawberries in the summertime feels mushy and thats how blood feels in snow Michaels blood............. So it should be an official ,•Halloween song’•

I think it belongs to that inbetween time For Christmas and New years

Robin Pecknold (the writer of the song) confirmed this is NOT a Christmas song. Go on, be free, listen to this whenever. It deserves that.

I am in a very similar situation, also with a rare condition. My health improved after receiving a proper diagnosis and starting treatment for it, but unless medical technology makes some amazing advancements in my lifetime (which is possible but not good for betting odds), I will never get back to where I was before I first became ill.

This might have nothing to do with what you meant by your comment but it got me thinking and I know a lot of people don't agree with me, and thats cool, but personally I believe in the idea that any time you enjoyed spending is never wasted. I also think about the idea that you can't waste time because its moving itself along, we aren't. Its happening anyway so you have no actual grasp on it and you should stop worrying about it. I don't know, I'm just throwing out things I've read that stuck with me. I know a lot of people think time is only used "correctly" if its spent doing something purposeful and that people should shun mindless activity i.e. watching tv and moves. I guess this probably includes watching youtube videos. But if you enjoy it how is it wasted? Ok, I'm rambling sorry.

Do wonderful things while you can. I am middle aged and continuously regret all the things I wish I'd done, but never did. And now, I am helping my elderly parents live out their remaining days. Sometimes I think I'll die before they will from all the heartache. Go live your life!!!

Ha I like the name. It’s fitting for what you said.

I'm seeing bigger things in this. I see climate change in this. The gods who crank the earth are tired.

Like I see their mushrooms and tending of the earth as joyful. Not to regret. Like maybe they stopped because we made them sick.

Damn fine way to put it, friend.

Tyler is Hyper but what exactly is the deep meaning and connection? I really wanna know

Blue xSpyder its the wheels of time and coming closer to the end of the journey of life (the winter of life) but still wanting to taste one last time youth trying to unwind time to get back to warmer times, younger times....but at the end nature takes its place and the wheels of time will continue to spin...in the video when the old guy starts to unwind the wheel they start turning back the time...they begin to look younger feel different with more energy, it goes from winter all the way back to summer time one of them even gets back what seems to be a pet that he was looking for and at the end looses it again....its a little melancholic and we all are connected to this msg and meaning since some day we will also be in our winter dreaming of the summer times.

I don't understand it tho.

louiethepitt I like that interpretation. Thanks :')

You really could've just written the first third of that

Love this song!

You forgot “ooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooOoooooooooo”.

It is goegeous! I loved it♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you for lyrics😍😍

mm g t r d c

Apollyonn agreed!

I agree c:

The way the one guy looks around for the missing rabbit after they go back to the future absolutely breaks me

Chloe Hampton the original version is in E major which is much happier feeling and sunnier than the pentatonix D major version which is a more celebratory key

There’s birdie too, her cover is great

i think this one also feels festive because it sounds like bells in the background sometimes and his vocals sound like a choir which reminds me of Christmas carolers, but it could feel like summer as well, iit makes this song so special, everyone will hear different i think

It's always interesting when over a decade later I still get a Fleet Foxes kick

😔🌻 I am so very sorry. I lost my Mom 2.5 months ago. This song has been sort of a life jacket through this awful time. I hope you find it so too. Peace.

Awhh:( if you ever need someone to talk to you can always talk to me

God Bless yall

me too.. may they both Rest In Peace.

im so sorry to hear yhat

he's with the angels somewhere in the heaven

i miss him so bad..he was looking at me , turning purple, i was begging him to stay, telling him im sorry, i love you, please stay..see i forgot how to do cpr due to the fact i was overwhelmed with fear for his life, i eventually had a helper but he was already gone, we live in a rural area, and it took 2 and a half hours for the morgue to come get him, i would not leave him, now im so lonely for him, he was always put down by people and he was mentally ill and had quit taking his meds because he said they made him a zombie..he had no one who loved him for him, i did, i always was there for him, i did fuss at him sometimes when he would stray but i always took him in and housed him and fed him...he did not deserve to die with so much sadness in his heart, he could see the good in everyone..

Charity Webster He sounds like he was a lovely person to have had in your life :') And from reading your comment I am sure that in his last moments he felt lucky to have had you in his life - there is nothing more that a person can cherish in life than a loving family member, because family is forever, even after departures (through memory, sprit or heaven). I am terribly sorry for your loss and the experience that coupled with it...it must've been more than heart breaking to go through...so whenever you may feel the sadness of his passing, just remember how your brother will have felt knowing that YOU were there for him to hold him when he needed you the most...and if you are a religious person, then know that this separation between the two of you is not forever, and you will be reunited in complete bliss one day :') take care friend, and your daughter has a very kind and loving heart for saying what she said when listening to this song

can't blame them tho, they have a humongous fanbase and they did a jaw-droppingly good cover

One. KZfaq puts the most popular video for that search first. Two. PTX isn’t even that popular so no, they are not overrated if anything they are underrated at points. Three. Their version of this song is beautiful and the original version of this song is beautiful, I think that’s all that should matter.

This is by far the best version of this song. Fleet Foxes owns it. I'm enthralled with the visual story. Stop-motion always mesmerizes me.

They credited them, alot of people came because pentatonix made a choreography to their video which is cool to watch

Just right click it twice and select Loop.

Lily Hoang Me too.

^~^ same

oh cool! where can i find the interview?

I had read somewhere that Robin mentioned this song was about how drugs and gangs became more important than friendships that had been built up over time.

that's what i thought

+Goblin Zeus I think it's swallowed meaning their coast are so big and their "swallowed" by their coats

+Collin A. I have personally pictured this many times, as young children walking home from school, bundled so well that the coats swallow up their little selves. Follow that image with snow so deep and little ones being unbalanced, I imagine the big red scarves basically wrapped around their heads so they don't fall and get cold, wet snow all over their face. In my mind, when Michael falls, probably because he's waddling in his oversized puffy coat trying to keep up but is the last one running behind, his scarf comes undone and he falls backward, and the scarf just billows everywhere as he laughs on the ground. The narrator sees the scarf and starts to daydream, imagining that Michael is now laying in a field of red strawberries in the middle of summer. The transition seems reminiscent of Olaf's musical number in Frozen, though that movie came later. Same basic principle though. I like that they left it open to interpretation, because the listener can make it mean whatever they want it to. The French Revolution is a very clever, educated guess, but it doesn't have to be morbid or gory if someone doesn't want it to be. My imagination took me to that whimsical, childhood place because that's most natural to me, as a daydreamer who remembers what she was like as a kid, and who is now a mother. You could just as easily find a completely different meaning just by watching the video, which I love by the way. The pack is young, but poor Michael can't keep up and turn back time, so now he's old and perhaps he gets hurt or dies. Who knows. It really is up to us. 😊

If this were true, they'd be singing "and *Michel you would fall and turn..."

I found this online on a forum about the meaning of this song. I felt this hit it right on the spot BUT art is subjective. The song is different things for different people. Give it a read anyway... :) "The line about following the pack, following their coats does bring up images of kids. I also relate it to people following a certain trend. The scarves tied round their throats could refer to a fear of becoming socially unacceptable if they were to stop following the ways of the masses. Its almost as if thats the only thing thats keeping them alive. "And I turned round and there you go" could refer to him being awakened by a friend of his who was never part of whatever specific way of life it may be referring to. But then in the line "Michael you would fall, and turn the white snow read as strawberries in the summertime" conjures up images of injury or failure. But since he says "turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime" maybe his fall is a good thing since the imagery used is so beautiful. Maybe his "fall" is a step forward."

+qwertylee not hating, but the ptx version has 3,000,000+ more views than the original...

Camille Henley no offense but that proves nothing. justin beiber gets more views than kendrick lamar. Psy has more views than any other artists. and fleet foxes stopped promoting a long time ago because they're on hiatus...

point taken.

Sylvie Bartusek now I get its about suicide you know red snow tied there necks to scarf

@@Riversradios no, he's saying that he and his friends were walking through the snow and they were wearing scarves that would keep their heads above the snow if they fell through. But Michael fell and ended up getting killed (maybe he hit his head on a rock?) It was his blood that turned the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime.

Lycie Gee ohh I understood it in a different way lmao 😂

I think it's "swaddled" rather than swallowed.

All wrong, people had to wear red scarves during the French revolution or else they would have been beheaded, but "Michael" did not wear one

How so? Because it ends with the same shot it opens with? That doesn't make it a loop.

Except it does not. A palindrome is the same forward and back, which means if you played this video in reverse you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. It would also put the pivot point in the middle of the video, but in this case, things do not start to reverse until near the 2 minute mark. The easiest way to tell this isn't a palindrome is to just watch the first 15 seconds and then the last 15 seconds.

No one said that the palindrome was dependent on time... Interesting concept if you think about it

I really don't think the word "palindrome" is applicable here.
