For real. This got me bad.

I held off until today so I could listen to the whole album in one go... But came here to say that. I'm crying so hard I am shaking a bit. Just one of those moments where you know someone feels the same pain you do and you aren't alone.

like me

My father wasnt an alcoholic, but what the video showed was a lot like the environment when I went to my dads

Exactly, this is happening in our family now.

ikr!

They are one of the few bands that has this effect on me. Which is strange because I don't even have tear ducts due to the fact that im an actual breadstick.

Same

I agree its weird.. But i can't stop coming back to it

@@belogio do you taste better dipped in marinara? or garlic sauce? but seriously, thank you for your comedy in the midst of such seriousness

the shot of him scrolling through that girl's IG is also a reference to the video for It Wasn't Easy to be Happy for You since it's the same girl

me too

My parents are both pastors. I've grown up around a lot of friends who remember thier parents splitting up or worse and I've had to tell them I'm lucky I can't relate.

You are lucky my parents have been gone for decades, I miss my mamma dearly she was a Angel

Sometime, sit down and ask them about their stories….❤

Sounds like you just acknowledged that you are aware of how blessed you are to have them which is telling. Hug them tight, good parents aren't as common as we'd like to believe.

this tho!

Yeeyee Perkins does anyone know the actor that plays the kid

This is one of my favorite comments on here 😂👍🏽

I'm sorry

@@ivanaghibaudo7132 thank you.

amen to that

You're my hero

One thing, Gloria’s husband isn’t really Jimmy’s father, right?

@@camilletransfiguracion7329 Nah it was some dude at a bar

​@@waterking271 but in "Donna" the lyrics said "A little boy was born in February" and the bar scene happens in New Year's Eve...Am I wrong or am I missing something?

Cesar Cescon i assume it’s Junior not Jimmy

Never related more

right on brother

My mother is the same way, and it’s killer dude. She was alcoholic but she hung around the wrong people and got roped into hard drugs too. It sucks.

don't give up.

Hey, just want you to know that I'm proud of you. Recovery is a lifetime commitment to do better for the people you love and for yourself. I know it well and I commend you for walking the path of healing. Sending love.

Proud of you Kat. That’s awesome.

what does "leader of the landslide" mean? (im no english fluent)

that is a very powerful admission and the first step to getting better. I hope that you are doing well these days and enjoying the new Lumineers album.

Currently going through that same struggle, you're not alone ✊

Me too, but moms different things. 🙏

just came home to glass shards on the floor and lots of yelling... I feel you. We got this.

Thanks!

LMAOO TRUE

@Teddy Holiday still the same universe, lol

Teddy Holiday he kinda has a point since both cleopatra and sparks lived in our universe :(

Teddy Holiday 👎🏽

@@elak.6220 he is just ignorant, don't feed the troll lol

Carter Zane Man that's a Tall Order comparing them to Dylan. Now I love the Lumineers, but I named my son Dylan, not Wesley. Lol. See Dylan had released maybe six albums in the time it took the Lumineers to release three. And now all those six first Dylan albums were profound, and I do mean all. Since the Lumineers lost Neya, I'm a little heartbroken. Akin to when Noah and the Whale broke up, and the string instrument guy joined up with Mumford and Sons. Now you could compare Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen to Bob Dylan. But you can compare the Lumineers to Joni Mitchell or the Band.

Steve Wilson I disagree, Wesley and Jeremiah are both great storytellers who continue to put out hits on every album, time is not a factor. I’m not saying the lumineers are better than Dylan by any means, but they are definitely the best storyteller band by far out today, and Bob Dylan was that in his hay day.

Abas

@@stevewilson5402 I dont think you can compare the Lumineers to Joni. they're just very different styles of music

i get where you are coming from but no one is/was close to bob dylan. his songs and lyrics are iconic, collossal achievement. Thelumineers on the other hand are very much a modern band doing the old greats proud, and they are seasoning well, as always their music has meaning too it, and with that it reaches you easier. i love mumford and sons but i feel they try too hard now and stray into other musical styles, which is fine but original mumfords was a treat, its pleasing to see the lumineers work with what they are best at.

😶😑😚😀😃😂🤣🤣😅😆😉😋😎😍

We can do both

Severely underrated comment

Berlynn Rae Best comments ever fuckin awesome 😂😂

Have to do both, and darn well enjoy it!

same, can someone explain it to my dumb ass pls

Watched it twice, here's what I'm gathering. Long comment warning. The dad is Jimmy (Gloria's infant son from the Donna & Gloria videos) all grown up. He's inherited his mother's alcoholism. At the halfway point of the video he offers the can to Junior, but Junior rejects it. Junior doesn't want to be his father and grandmother, wants to break the cycle. "Is she dead? Is she fine?" This could be a few things, I'm not sure but I think it might be a double- or triple-meaning. It could be about the dog. "You told me a lie." Jimmy told Junior the dog ran away, but Junior suspects otherwise. (Maybe - this doesn't hold up to all the lines.) More likely, it's referring to the woman at the end of the video, who I think is Jimmy's girlfriend. She's left him, which Junior is fine with but Jimmy can't accept. The video starts off, Jimmy's girlfriend and dog are both gone. Junior doesn't know the full story, except that they're taking out the trash and dog's collar with it. Junior wants to let this sit and deal with his emotions. He sees the dog again, and a woman who I think is Donna (his great-grandmother whose husband built this house). If that's correct, it's an interesting pick - it means he probably doesn't know who his own mother is, and doesn't see his grandmother as a reasonable role model either, so he goes back three generations to someone he's never met just to find "a mother for the first time." Meanwhile, Jimmy deals with his sadness by throwing a wild party, getting drunk, doing coke. All this makes Junior accept what he's known for a while, that his father is "the leader of the landslide" - wherever he goes, bad things follow. This is why he's able to reject the beer. He sees his father's destructive path and doesn't believe he's redeemable. One of the final verses goes: "She left, she left, the writing’s on the wall Please believe me, don’t answer when she calls The only thing I know is that we’re in too deep And maybe when she’s dead and gone I’ll get some sleep" If this is about Jimmy's girlfriend, it shows Junior doesn't want her to come back. He wants Jimmy to give up and move on so that maybe Junior can get some sleep. Then she shows up at the end - whether this is real or in Jimmy's head (as Junior's girlfriend was last video) is unclear. Bonus Notes: This seems to take place after "It Wasn't Easy to Be Happy For You." If you listen to the lyrics of that song, it's pretty clear that Junior and his girlfriend broke up, and he's remembering her throughout the video (she isn't really there). There's a lot on Junior's plate right now. In Gloria Sparks, pronoun "you" always referred to Gloria. I think the singer was intended as her husband, but could be wrong. In these past two songs, the narrator is Junior (or else all my rambling is way off), and "you" has been his girlfriend in the previous song and Jimmy in "Leader of the Landslide." At least that's how I'm hearing it, if someone has a different interpretation please say!

@@davidbjacobs3598 That fits! You really put a lot of thought into it!!

@@davidbjacobs3598 about the dog: two people are carrying the trash bag, which means it's heavy, and then the dog collar is on top of it, which suggests the dog is in it. Also, Jimmy is giving junior the shovel - to fig up a grave for the dog. What I'd say is that the woman we see might be Donna but maybe it's juniors mum - "Is she gone, is she dead" - that might référence Junior's mother, she left her alcoholic husband (Jimmy) but also left Junior and he's resentful about it... One thing that I can't figure out is why in Donna they sing "You hate the name Junior" I think that may key in in the coming videos

@@sonaivanovicova7638 I thought about the trash bags containing the dog, but really didn't want it to be! :'( That's a nice thought on Junior's mom! I hadn't considered that. We saw Donna's face in "Donna," it's her again here. (1:50 in "Donna," 2:29 in "Leader of the Landslide")

Trying to ID the song at the end of that episode tonight just brought me here.

Embertuft they are recognized! By the right people :)

hajdeaman very true :D It’s just a shame that music nowadays is so bad, but we still have gems like this.

The fans that love them make up for the lack of popular recognition. Plus their concerts always sell out. Lumineers are the new classic.

Meighan T I’m glad of that, too.

Honestly this band is pretty popular. I'm glad about it too.

He is imagining his mom. The song Jimmy Sparks explains that Bonnie left him and his dad when he was a baby with a note. She wanted a different life... Seems like he was a good dad before she left.

@@jordancedillo1170 That isn’t what I took from it. Watching it’s clear that they were once a happy family. The song stated that she left a note saying that she wanted a better or different life. That does not mean that she left because of Jimmy’s addiction. She could have just not wanted to be a wife and a mother anymore. It happens. No mother would leave her baby with an addict. Jimmy Jr. Was a baby when she left. The song also goes on to describe life after she left. Her leaving may have triggered Jimmy’s drinking and drug abuse. His wife leaves, he is struggling to take care of himself and his son and his bloodline is prone to addiction. I believe all of that turned him into who he is now, an alcoholic and drug user. That is what I took from it.

I agree that even though this song is on Junior's chapter, that it is from Jimmy to his mom. Supporting evidence: The video opens and ends with us seeing Jimmy. The video is focused on Jimmy. "All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time, finally I can see you (Gloria) as the leader of the landslide". I believe the lyrics "she left, she left" refers to Bonnie, Junior's mother leaving them. And Jimmy blaming Gloria for the chain of events happening to him. "Maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep" could be Jimmy talking about his wife leaving. And as long as she's alive he may think she'll come back. Junior looks at their dead dog and remembers warmer times, or possibly just imagines things being different (he has sheets on the bed now, the dog is alive, and his mother is there and she's caring - it's definitely not Donna). The big thing for me is when the line "you told me a lie, fuck you for that". It would make sense if Jimmy is talking to Gloria here because she lied about who his father was. If she eventually told him the man who he thought was his dad wasn't, that may have been the beginning of his own alcoholism.

@@cgirl33 Thanks for adding your thoughts :) and I think you're right about the lyrics referring to Bonnie, Junior's mother. In Donna, line by line each lyric didn't necessarily refer to the same woman (sometimes to Gloria, sometimes to Donna) so this is probably the case with Leader of the Landslide too. I guess we'll have more information once the final instalment of the Junior chapter comes out :) :) So true about the 'you told me a lie, fuck you for that' lyric!!

Jen the INFP - Chaotically Minimal n j

Your right man

I agree with you. I just want to add that I think that the woman we see sitting on Junior's bed might actually be his mother, Bonnie. And she most likely at some point left the home. The latest song is called Left For Denver. She probably moved to Denver because of Jimmy's alcoholism and general other problems

glad to hear you’re a fan of my father:)

Did anyone else catch the car from "Gloria" at around the 1:40 mark?

I like this theory. And god dammit The Lumineers are my favorite band.

Sunny441 you’re right

I think the person singing this is Cleopatra’s lost love in the whole story of things

@@fe_duck4848 the guy she doesn't really leave with on Sleep on The Floor? How come you think so?

Espermos vengan en el proximo world tour :'(

Jajaja igual lo note

Ahuevo, ruego cada día por q vengan a Mexico The Lumineera verdaderamente son lo mejor

Y Lauren también sale

@@pedrofloresmulas6637 y yo a colombia, pero creo que jamas pasara💔

That was not the trash they were carrying outside that was the dog in the bag. You can see the look on jimmy's face as the father completely neglects the burial of the beloved animal.

wow! the end bit about "it wasn't easy being happy for you" really clarified the music video! you're so right

@@isabellaolson-lamari6976 Haha this was all a while ago. Only skimmed my old interpretation, but I think the song "Jimmy Sparks" makes it clear that Junior's mother is the leader of the landslide. She left, she left, and that's what started either, why Jimmy took up the bottle and began his whole landslide, leading Junior to where he is now. In "Left For Denver," Junior is planning to go to his mother instead, but that was never going to help, she chose to abandon them, and finally returns for his father instead (with not very much success, depending how you interpret the ending).
