See, this is what the music industry needs to be. Making music that's real, tells stories and goes deeper than what's typically on the radio. I love this!
But it's all over the radio.
Jade Dobson why do I never meet girls that say stuff like that?
I've only heard 'Hey Ho' ever on the radio.
Risodair obviously you haven't been around too long but it's ho hey 👋🏻
ConManMck it's never been my favourite song. actually I don't like it at all.
He deserves grammys for this album.
it didnt even got a nomination!!! i hate the whole academy..... so unfair
I think the best award a songwriter/singer can get Is their fans' acknowledgement.
Who needs a Grammy?
You mean "they"
Amen
Absolutely
the best songs seem to have the saddest stories
Celeste M. Sad and misery are the greatest artists of all times.
Cypress Thunder Life is to make as better people,we get to a lot off learning and Suffering to be better,it’s not living ever happily!!All this singing about Love: missing the other,we are looking for our selfs!!
Ah Celeste, such is life!
so wonderful and sad at the same time
I know right!
That's life right there
yep
I can't express how much I love the fact that their music is so real and it makes me feel so so so proud to be a fan! ♥
Ushma Asher What’s weal,that Lady the Taxidriver stayed allone!It is for all off as jest a big Illusion to think how Love is!!Love is inside everybody’s Heart,we have to need to learn this a hole Lifetime,looking in the rung Places all our Life’s !!Keeping dreaming about Illusions!!All out There wake up!!!!!! What you look and hope for is orredy Close,it can’t get closer,it’s in you jest wake it up!!
I feel the same ❤️
we’re so proud to be their fan because we feel awesome and great when i listen their songs!
Thank you for your love and support towards my career..
Keep supporting ❤️❤️❤️
Damn,.. you don't hear many musician's these days ever thinking this deep anymore. Most people who call themselves "musicians" are copying other people music and autotuning it to death.. So glad this band came to be.
Ok mr.snowflake
You friggin NAILED it, Thomas! And it's worse now than 4 years ago when you commented!
@@tedpittsinger9688 we are gonna get kanye and hopefully frank ocean... I still have hope there are a ton of artist that still brought us real art
Or worse other people write the lyrics and music… I love this band
What a touching history of life. I got surprised with how this amazing song came from it's real life. Such a good inspiration, brave woman!
I waited for this for so long, and I think this is simply beautiful...
Little late to this conversation but as a woman almost 50, fighting cancer, with all of life's lessons (self taught and by others) glaring back at me: I applaud the sincere approach to waking humans to connection. The best way to do so is by sharing our stories. And really listening. How I relate to Cleo! Thank you Lumineers. Ps- we need you as Social Workers now more than ever. More to my story...
Maria Carlomagno
i hope you beat cancer :)
Praying for your recovery and thank you for sharing your story! In solidarity 💪❤
Keep fighting! I believe in you!
be strong, push it to the end and if you have the grace of surviving then fight more cause you owe it to yourself, I hope you are still alive all the power 2 you
Well said. I can relate to almost everything you said ❤️
How are you feeling?
You guys created a masterpiece.
Sobbing because Cleopatra is such a great song with such a heartbreaking story
Beautiful story, his voice is so hypnotizing
My ex love and situationship played the Sleep on the floor and Cleopatra music videos for me on the very first night we met, on a road trip back home from a place we met outside the city. She was explaining to me the meaning beyond the music videos. Never knew how she got them. Now I know. These 2 songs will always stick with me for the rest of my life. We were never truly a concrete thing, but no one has ever rocked my world that way.
I waited for this for ages. I tried to make a thousand theories but none of them linked. Love you guys
The story of Cleopatra song is amazing. the story is sad but the same way is so beautiful, now i appreciate more this album of the luminners, thank you so much , xoxo!
Paulina Rivas It’s all people Story,yours to!!
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard no joke, the story behind it just makes it even more powerful
Dear sir, I want to personally thank you for creating these songs. I listened to them before my mother died and even now after she died due to colon cancer. It is always said that music reaches a place in our hearts that normal words cannot. Listening to these songs and reflecting on their meaning helps me to express my emotions. Take care and stay safe!
please don't ever change. the world needs artists like you.
I like how Jer and Wes don't just write about themselves, it's other experiences of other people. This is what music is. You don't find a lot of it nowadays. Most songs aren't about much and don't tell a story, Lumineers always tell a great meaningful story in about 3 minutes. I love you guys and thank you.
I'm honestly shocked that he mentioned my country (republic of Georgia🇬🇪) I have been listening to Lumineers for 7 months now and I cant even express how they had me to manage my own problems and obstecles, ups and downs. First time I've listened to their music was When I came along with Sleep On The Floor, and it had very big impact on me, because of how they expressed everything that has been going through my mind that time, adventures etc. When he mentioned Georgia I had goosebumps all over my body, I will take that as a sign
Wesley: "Cleopatra" has been one of my favourite songs of the past year, and one of my favourite music videos. The Director of that video, and the actress playing 'Cleopatra' did a magnificent job of wrapping your song in a visual dream sequence. Many thanks for telling the story.
Fully agreed (although perhaps not on Cleopatra being my favorite; I can't really pick, they're all great! Ophelia was originally my favorite, then Cleopatra, and now I'm obsessed with Sleep On The Floor).
Indeed, the Director(s?), writers, cinematographers, actors, etc, all did really well with this series, and I feel like they captured the story beautifully.
I liked the actress who played "Cleopatra" so much that I had to look her up, just to see if she's been in anything else. Such a beautiful and talented woman, and her eyes are so interesting! Great casting choice.
So you found her in the Another Story video from The Head and The Heart? If you haven't, do it. It's a great piece of story telling, and she's so lovely.
Have you watched "the ballad of Cleopatra"? Pretty much a short film comprised of 5 songs/videos.
who knew one little story could be so powerful and mean so much. The lumineers are truly artists.
it's almost 3 a.m. and I have fallen in love with this. Something drew me to the song on my recommended to i listened to it and the lyrics and the video really hit me. and then this video popped up and i was completely invested in what he was saying. It was so devastating to hear this woman's story but it also reminds me, as a young person, not to dwell on plans or the way things are "supposed to go". I also think he's 100% right about stories. My entire life, I've been inspired and moved by other people's stories, and the sooner we realize that stories are a universal language, the sooner we can all stop having so many communication problems. I love this.
Is it weird that I enjoy listening to this story so much? I listen to it a couple of times per day... I didn't think this album could get any better, but it just did.
This is why i love this song.
I was so enthusiastic about creating my own life, my own family, achieving all my dreams, and it seems like I'm late for everything. But, at the same time, the song motivates me to change how i see things and to appreciate this life as it is.
Thanks for an awesome song
One of the reasons why I love your music is your ability to tell stories, keep up the good work!
The only gifts from my Lord
were a birth and a divorce
But I've read this script and the costume fits
so I'll play my part
*cue chill bumps*
The fact that most of their songs are telling stories for the next generation makes me love them even more
This is why I'll make my children and my girlfriend and my wife listen to this song. Loads of love man!
My favorite song of all times, I can’t stop listening to it…i think this music was made for me😢…Thank you Wesley, Jeremiah , Simone, Neyla and everyone of your team who made this possible , i love you soo much🥺❤️…
those 5 people who disliked can fight me
Danny Boi I'm right behind you on that one
It's 26 now. I'm on your side Davvi!
Davvi Fox I think people disliked this video because of your comment
When i listen that monology, i cant believe she was real, the love with her man was real and she let go her man, i cry when i hear her story
Music that tells stories as deep as this one is something that we need to cherish. Amazing album.
I have loved Lumineers since I first heard a few years ago...I must say, I could barely make it through that Cleopatra video. It hit me emotionally on so many different levels. Thanks for the music and videos.
And now we need the story of Angela and Ophelia. Thanks so much guys you're my favorite band.
Liz Novoa Angela and sleep on a floor and cleopatra is the same storyline
Liz Novoa if you ever listen to the podcast called "Song Exploder" they explain Ophelia on there! It was good look it up!
Thanks Caitlyn. Now I have a question, does Angela and slow it down have any connections? Because the song mentioned to Angie that can be a nickname Angela.
Liz Novoa the woman is anglica, but the story line is called Cleopatra, sleep on the floor, anglica, eyes on me are all connected
They put all the connected songs into one video called the ballad of Cleopatra
I love it that the music gets more vibrant as the song goes by and really reaches a peak during her time on the nursing house. I love how much it values just having a tranquil old age and being able to remember how grand you were able to feel while young.
I am from the Republic of Georgia. Please come to Tbilisi!!
Mariam Zabakhidze no
sandro nika საქართველოზეა ლაპარაკი. იმიტომ ამბობს Republic of Georgia შტატი რომ არ ეგონოთ.
Well, I'm really from the Republic of Georgia and I would really loved to see the Lumineers here :))
Mariam Zabakhidze it's my dream place to visit! My parents r from Kurdish region of Iraq.
You should come and explore Georgia :))
I will never forgive myself for missing your concert here in Brazil-SaoPaulo last Sunday!! :( I am really sad about it. You guys are geniuses!!! Listening to your music is like healing the spirit!! Thank you very much for this masterpiece (Ballad of Cleopatra). I hope you guys come back soon to South America.
Their songs can make you imagine things that you would not do if you were not listening to them. This band is unique and most of all they sound unique.
Cried when I listened to this story line. It's an amazing story. You're gifted
This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Thank you, both. 🙏❤️
WOW Lumineers is such an awesome band ! Great job !
Goosebumps and tears in my eyes! This gives the song a real meaning and another reason to listen to it!
This was beautifully said and the story really moved me. Love this band so much for making real music!
Who's here after watching the ballad?
oh me
I'm truely in love with all these musics and story. Cleopatra realy did made me think for these two years.
this is one of the best things I've ever heard. I've learned so much through their music! thank you for every song
the whole album is so beautiful and has such a deep meaning. I remember when I first heard Cleopatra on the radio and I was dancing around in my room. I love you guys so much💕 so inspiring, so beautiful.
You guys were amazing at the Opera House, best birthday present I could ask for xx My whole family enjoyed it, we were in the last row but it was still wonderful, my Dad didn't sit down for the whole concert, thank you for an awesome night!!! Hope you all enjoyed yourselves
We need more music like this, that tells a story that's deep! ❤️✨
Solo puedo dar las gracias por esta obra de arte.
Cleopatra es lo mejor que he escuchado, me ha llegado al alma y ahí se quedará por siempre.
Gracias The Lumineers
I am proud and moved, your songs deserve to be listened to and appreciated at their true value, I send you lots of love and congratulations! This album is fantastic, keep going!
The amount of how much I love this album has just doubled! 😍❤
I'm so happy I found you. This song played on the Buzz station on the radio while I was at the gym, and it just.. _touched_ me, right then and there. I instantly needed more. The story behind this beautiful song should be the archetype of lyricism. It pains me to think that music hardly ever takes that approach anymore. I have a monumental amount of respect to you for creating this masterpiece in the face of what is essentially the adversity of symbolism.
the Lumineers ladies and gentlemen. true talent.
I'm so glad I watched this video and so glad I found this band and shared the concert experience with my daughter in Mansfield this June
Their music is like the sun peaking through the clouds after a rain storm. ❤️
The song never fails to make me emotional, and this just adds to that. Beautiful song.
I'm here after watching their new making of videos and I just want to say I am SO proud to be a fan of them... I knew them (deeply, disregarding the time I knew Ho Hey) through the Cleopatra album and now they released III and it's the most awesome thing I have ever heard. I hope they keep up telling stories like this on the next albums, just like Cleopatra deserved and the Sparks deserve - even though they are not actually real because their story is very common out there.
Simply beautiful...thank you for this story
Thank you for explaining the meaning! I love that whole album and you guys are AMAZING!!!! ❤❤❤❤
After some time I always come back to this video cause this is one of my favourite albums and songs. This story really amazes me, even watching it now I realised that she did become something special but not in the way she thought. Her story ended up being something people are doing to hear for a very long time and cry to and sing to and listen to
Thank you! A million thanks for this :) I love that you tell stories of real people - this is one of my favorite songs.
Acá les dejo traducido lo que Wes dijo:
"La mejor amiga de mi esposa es de la República de Georgia y a través de esta amiga descubro estas historias sobre esta taxista, ella es probablemente la única taxista, ¡mujer taxista! en esa área y es una clase de mujer endurecida por la forma en la que lleva su vida. Ella es fuerte, es resistente, y a temprana edad se enamora y empieza a pensar que se va a casar con este tipo y al mismo tiempo en que su padre falleció de forma inesperada, así que está de luto por la pérdida de su padre y en medio de todo esto, en un mal momento, su novio le pide que se casen y ella no le da una respuesta a él porque simplemente está de luto por la pérdida de su padre. Después de ser rechazado, ya sabes, de esta propuesta de matrimonio, también él se va y nunca. . . nunca regresa y ella se da cuenta de que la atraen estas huellas de barro en el suelo, en su alfombra, y se niega a lavar cualquiera de ellas. Y me interesó realmente la historia, me imagino el por qué ella las conserva, si yo fuera ella por qué las mantendría en esa estado. Cada verso es una especie de época en su vida y comienza como una mujer joven y optimista que se va a casar y su vida va a ser increíble y una especie de. . . que evoluciona y desevoluciona. El nombre Cleopatra es importante, creo que es por eso que se convirtió en el tema principal del álbum, es una clase de (canción) que encarna esta idea más de lo que es. . . este no es el nombre de una persona, esta es la idea de que cuando éramos jóvenes nos sentimos, muchos de nosotros creo, que estábamos destinados a algo más grande que nuestro pequeño pueblo o destinados a la grandeza o algo así.
Para esta persona que terminó sintiéndose como “que está tarde para esto, tarde para aquello, tarde para el amor, tarde para la vida”, ya sabes, y luego va a morir sola, pienso que ella comienza del mismo modo que todos comenzamos, que es sintiéndonos de esa forma en la que aquello no va según al plan. Cuando hablé con ella me dijo: “sabes que los dos mejores días de mi vida fueron cuando conseguí mi divorcio y cuando tuve mi único hijo y es lo opuesto a lo que casi cualquiera me dijo sobre la vida, y se sintió alentador confrontar lo que realmente es tu vida” fue muy raro de oír y ver y creo que esto es una gran parte de la canción. Para mí el gran objetivo fue honrar esto. Los últimos versos toman la idea de que ella está caminando ... en mi cabeza ella está caminando en un asilo de ancianos, diciéndole a una enfermera lo maravillosa que fue como persona, como mujer, que tuvo todos estos sueños, que era más alta que las vigas, que era fuerza, que es Cleopatra y me imagino una enfermera que dice algo como "Estoy segura de que lo eras", sabes "Estoy segura de que lo eras" porque la generación más joven siempre son muy al tipo de “nos miramos a nosotros mismos y creemos que todos los demás están más o menos locos”. Creo que la mejor manera de aprender unos de otros y de hecho estar abiertos al cambio es a través de contar historias, no es el argumento, no son las estadísticas, contar historias es sobre ... se trata de personajes y eso es el personaje de Cleopatra, a lo que voy, estás tratando de contar su historia a través de estos versos."
Gracias por la traducción!Juan. Que andes bien y bendiciones!
QUÉ GENIO, GRACIAS
I have tears in my eyes now. I would love to visit that real woman and give her a huge hug and a kiss on her cheeck! It's impossible not to cry with such musical video of Cleopatra!
i wonder if she ever saw this
i am from georgia and im proud that you are teling the story of a strong georgian woman
One of the most amazing music album with a brilliant storyline.
The songs were amazing on their own but the story is just cherry on top.
Hats off to Lumineers
This is such a great album!! And to know that this is inspired from an actual story is even more amazing!
I waited for this for so long, and I think this is simply beautiful... x2
The Lumineers are something else, they are something real.
Music should touch people, and I've rarely felt so deeply touched...Thank you The Lumineers, for encouraging us to find and tell our stories
Cheers from Brazil! Love you guys.
Thank you so much for this story,thank you for the songs and thank you for the video clips !
Can't believe I am listening this now, after playing Cleopatra songs on and on, non-stop for weeks! I've got goosebumps!.. A story of a lady from my country inspired The Lumineers!
Wesley, Please, come to 🇬🇪 !
Well all i can say is THANK YOU 💜 to "The Lumineers". Life matters doesn't matter whomsoever we are.
This is so so beautiful! Now I love this album even more 😍😍😍
ahhhh💗💗💗love it!!
The story of cleopatra it's simply amazing I've never seen music videos that we're so beautiful yet so heart breaking I love cause the lumineers are so different there songs are like movies but so many of us can relate to it.
He deserves grammy for cleopatra❤
thats the reason why i love so much this band, they´re making real music♥
I love you guys so much!!! I love this album with all my heart.. you are all so talented!!! This is just wonderful and beautiful
so awesome!! great work.
i came here because i want to remember that you are always freaking amazing year by year! i love the cleopatra story. also I love the gloria sparks story. Dude, i thought youre going better after you’ve published several songs of the new album but... You are always in max!
As always Lumineers you guys always make something real, your music always depicted the way world going on and as for this one I believe that you guys wanna open everyone eyes that compare to what everybody have, this woman life is even more sad but she keeps getting on and carry on. Thanks for the lesson and the music, I feel sad but blooming inside because of this song and somehow this it always makes me wanna cry because of hearing it. Keep making a good song THE LUMINEERS, LOVE YOU SO MUCH
This is so beautiful. I really needed this today.
thanks for everything, wonderful
So rare it is that these days songs have depth, have meaning, have a purpose. This has the meaning and story of someone's life, the purpose to tell her story to the world. This is my favourite song and has been from the moment I heard it, even without the commentary. I knew from the lyrics that this held a story, and now we know the story behind the music I think it's that much more inspirational to other artists that songs don't have to just be about going to the club and getting 'bitches'. This whole album was something so incredible, and I can't wait to hear more from a group with so much potential.
This is truly amazing! Its not about money for him its about telling stories. Love it!
love the concept so much! thank you for that
This song, i never finished !! everytime it reminds me of something worth remembered. You owe me anything in life just because you just told the truth !!
This makes me love their album even more!
I loved this song before but omg i love it even more now that I've heard this- thanks!
I like how the story matches certain points of the song. At the end when he speaks of her in the nursing home, its at the same point in the song where he says " its a bed and a bathroom, and a place for the end". This was very well put together.
The art of story-telling in music is what makes it worth it. Don't let it die.
I remember admiring the songs from this album, when they first came out. However, until now I had no idea that the album was inspired by a taxi driver lady from the Republic of Georgia. As a Georgian myself, it makes me incredibly happy.
Just amazing! 💗
I love CLEOPATRA.
This group is amazing.
kudos sir to your music ,the way you make a fusion between a song a soul and the nicest story I ever heard of till now , featuring a brave woman who faced so much odds still she won at last
Loving the album more because of the story behind the music! ❤️
This is so amazing💗
