I love the fact that every year for some reason I find myself back to this song.. I first heard it 6 years ago and cried like anything on a dark dark night.. I have learnt to smile and not show my sadness any further... But few times I find this song.. I cry.. I feel better.. I feel lighter..

Anyone else cry for this one?

In Slowdive or Mojave 3, Neil is a great and incredible singer and composer!!!

neil halstead is a poet. oh god, he is got a bob dylan in him.

this has me in tears every time i watch it, it's so touching

Neil is a truly excellent artist and this is another beautiful song Should be cherished

8 years on, I just wept while listening to this song again. "Eyes out on the road but no one comes along when you want them to." ❤ I love Slowdive, but would also love to hear some more of Neil solo.

Simply...... amazing.... heartbreaking...... heart warming. All's well that ends well 💍

One of my favourite songs. So beautiful. And as a recovering alcoholic, this message is potent

AWOL sent me here. First time hearing this artist. I love the song and video. I think I found a new artist to add to my collection.

Can a cartoon make you cry? Yes.

so beautiful, this made me cry!

His music and voice are just plain relaxing.

With a slew of iconic musicians coming round again with new releases from Pete Fij teaming up with Tiger Stripes on My Favourite Robot Records, Johnny Marr with his new single & Nick Cave blowing us all away, Neil Halstead of heart-squeezing melodic-moody mellow-indie Mojave 3 has blown the roof off with this one. In an age where video skyrockets Adele & Gotye to mass success, "Digging Shelters" aesthetic is killer - but visuals aside, the song is vintage Halstead and fucking brilliant. Soar! x

That song, and the video, they are just beautiful, it made me cry, cos its showing that things can go from bad to worse, but still, everything works out in the end

Love the song. Love the video. Thank you

Mr Halstead... You´re A GeniuS!!!! Beautiful Song!!

his voice.. ugh.. x) it's made for/by drama.

Brilliant work, Neil! Sounds so amazing and quite mesmerizing for me. Love it!

His guitar is really heart-warming :)

Sweetest video I've seen in a long, long time.

Damn, its so beautiful and sad...

Beautiful everything...

Just Beautiful🌚🌝This is why I aspire to be a musician to heal people like you do someday with my own music, just as soon as my luck turns and I beat Homelessness and hopefully I can write just one song this Beautiful someday🙌🙏🌊🔥🎶

I wasn't really into this at first, but the more I listened the more amazing it became.

soo sad , just hope

Still a Better love story than twilight

It only took 30secs for me to know i liked it.

Beautiful x

The song makes it.

well they played a show together years ago and Jack asked if he'd like to switch labels, after being on 4AD for so many years. (which since 4AD has kind of gone downhill that makes sense) Neil's been around since 1990, with the band Slowdive (pioneering shoegazer music) and later Mojave 3 (mazzy star-style americana) his influences are closer to Nick Drake and English folk. but you can see why Jack would like it! (also similar would be Mark Kozelek from Sun Kil Moon/ Red House Painters)

Thanks gosh it's a happy ending

l love this music

Nice…really nice..thank you…

Amazing

Amazing video

in reply to fahnke- def made me cry! and i'm not a crier.

It is.

i used to work with a most splendid guy called Mike Halstead at RACAL in Slough, i wonder if they are related?

I love it+Mr Hankey :D

True

está na hora de dormir.

A song isn't always fun, you can have beautiful song but sad like behind blue eyes or many other

Computer, whats the point in this? You do all the thinking where we - Just digging shelters in the snow - Build a house of dream and domino I know its fallen down Got my headphones on and I wont hear a sound No its all broke down Eyes out on the road but no-one comes along, when you want them to Let your hair hang long Yeah that old north wind is blowing through these cracked up ports And you wont feel so strong Voices on the street, yeah its closing time, again Computer, whats the point in this? You do all the thinking where we - Just building shelters in the snow - Build a house of dream and domino I know its fallen down Got my headphones on and I wont hear a sound Yeah its all broke down Eyes out on the road but no-one comes along, when you want them to

perhaps Mumford heard some Neil Halstead on the radio and thought, hmmm, maybe i should start a band? check out his song Hi-Lo and In-Between from his 2002 album...

I didn't know Mr Hanky was a singer

I thought it sounded inspired by jack johnson and then i saw the label is brushfire records ... oh that explains it..

Sad story

The beginning is very similar to the one of "The Cave" by "Mumford And Sons" :)

Thanks for all the goddamn CRIES.

please

Q triste

does anyone have more replay button?

yeah xD

sadness

And the likes are from the same source?

I thought it was Mr. Hankey at the tumbnail.

Could someone explain the video for me a little bit?

Zawsze chciałem to napisać i poczuć się jak gimbusełe ;___;

I came here because i thought it said Heil Halstead digging ditches

why are these comments always replying using @? -_-

Well this is just silly. You can't drink alcohol in a hospital.

Because they are posted by bots who somehow have access to your account. This is my third one.

Steering wheel is on the right. Is this British?

1 ST :d

thumbs up if u from eygpt

Why does he go get drunk while his wife's about to give birth?

I´m sorry but, great music, bad video!

Nice song. Well-intentioned video, I'm sure, but it's so ugly.
