A Ghost is Born is 20 yrs old now. I’m 26, I know the whole album by heart. growing up my dad would play it, along with other Wilco of course. This song holds so much in my heart. I don’t know how I can listen to this, or any other Wilco when my dad passes. I like reading other people’s comments and seeing how much Wilco has touched them. And how that was 10-15 years ago. So cool. Wonder what you are up to now.
I was in your dads middle school class and he showed us this, then i saw you on video game high school kinda crazy, he used you as an example to follow your dreams and it seems like you have and you are doing well
i was able to tell without looking at the description. Granted it wasn't clear in the beginning there are several mentions of it during the actual video. great video too
Very good. I really enjoyed that. The player piano keys and drums were fun. The whole cartoon was just brilliant. Very creative idea. Great song choice. One of my personal favorites. Thanks!
ohh that was so beautiful .. they should make this the vid for the song.. thank you so much.. your vid make my eyes watery and felt really touched .. aughh lovely
That was beautiful. Does Wilco know about this magnificent creation? I'm very impressed! Every scene matched the lyrics and music so perfectly--on what is now my favorite Wilco song
@sashag79 They did an album (Mermaid Avenue) with Billy Bragg where they took Woody Guthrie lyrics that had never been set to music and wrote music for them. In doing so, they tried to write the music they way they thought Woody would have done it. The Woody Guthrie Foundation asked Billy Bragg to do it and and Bragg invited Wilco to participate.
the reason the beatles became famous is because their music was just awesome and appealed to all people basically. today people listen to music because today's music is enhanced to appeal to today's idiots... some mainstream stuff is good. radiohead is mainstream even though they dont wanna be, but i believe their music is amazing and has influenced me. wilco isnt very mainstream but they're great. ive just been introduced to this kinda music and i love it. todays mainstream radio music sucks :D
@serbwithblade This is true, but when you hear today's music, do you not hear a bunch of computerized sounds with the same generic drum beat? So yeah, The Beatles' music was enhanced, but they played their guitars and their drums in the studio rather than using some computer program. It is handy, though, which is why they use it.

@TRusheeRush Ghost is Born is my favorite album from them, but I still think it's debatable. In fact, Jay might've even made that one better, might've made that 15-minute black hole/ambient song interesting.
I know it's the world's biggest cliche, but this sounds very Beatles-ish, Mccartney's Maxwells silverhammer or something like that (if that song was good)
@Abbs1510 I wasnt saying they aren't one of the best bands ever. I wasn't saying The Beatles still changed music. And the fact that there is a lot of mainstream music is pointless is completely irrelevant. You said they hardly wrote any songs that weren't very meaningful, I'm just saying that they did write a lot of songs that were unmeaningful when they first started out. That being said they are still one of the Greatest Bands EVER
just discovered wilco recently and the video is great. I think you did a reall good job. I am interested in making my own animated videos but don't know n/e thing about'final cut pro'...do you think you could elaborate on it a bit? n/e info would be gr8? Thnx! -job well done!
really nice vid,well animated,have you ever heard of the jimmy cake?they do beautiful story driven animated vids for all their songs,worth checkin out...
its funny how everyone wants their claim to fame. I know someone who knows someone that made this. My friend's sister is married to the guy who directed Napoleon Dynamite

Still my favourite bedtime song

They should make this the official video if they haven't. So beautiful!
2018 and this is still really good!
This song has helped me through some tough times, thanks Wilco
I just Wilco live last night, and they were awesome!! And guess what they opened with... Hummingbird! :-D
Can you believe this was 16 years ago?
so nice and sad at the same time
Nice touch animating the piano with the right chords!
Love the song, but this video is fantastic.
That almost made me cry, and I've heard hummingbird probably hundreds of times before. Awesome work!
This video was a big part of my childhood (I'm 15) thank you!!!! I found it just thinking and I always used to play this!!
how are you now?
good job man, very well done
I was in your dads middle school class and he showed us this, then i saw you on video game high school kinda crazy, he used you as an example to follow your dreams and it seems like you have and you are doing well
This is brilliant.
i was able to tell without looking at the description. Granted it wasn't clear in the beginning there are several mentions of it during the actual video. great video too
I absolutely adore this.
I just made it on my own, about four years ago, so I could learn how to use final cut pro. I think Wilco doesn't like to make music videos.
perfect video for a great song
Very good. I really enjoyed that. The player piano keys and drums were fun. The whole cartoon was just brilliant. Very creative idea. Great song choice. One of my personal favorites. Thanks!

To think this is the dude who was in Video Game High School
It's a nice video. Well done! And a great song too.
I'm gonna think of this now when I hear this song.
This is a really cute video, fits the song really well :)
Brilliant...thank you...
Dude this video is awesome
"a cheap sunset on a television set can upset her but he never could"
o man, the "Jeffrey!" wigged me out...
This song haunts me.
You know, I just learned that Wilco used a bunch of lyrics and music from Woody Guthrie to make some of their songs!!! No wonder people love them !!!

check out jimmy cake "hungry ghosts" ,beautiful.made in my native dublin,big love to everyone who loves this song also
WELL DONE, WELL DONE
Yo- that's really cool. They should pay you to do their video.
@serbwithblade This is true, but when you hear today's music, do you not hear a bunch of computerized sounds with the same generic drum beat? So yeah, The Beatles' music was enhanced, but they played their guitars and their drums in the studio rather than using some computer program. It is handy, though, which is why they use it.
I see. This turned out well though i like it a lot.
Man, this is talent in all ways. Can I get more of these animated awesomes?
WOW -- are you sure this isn't the official band video? It's utterly amazing!
{'us' 'them' binary}, {praise for band}, {compare & contrast against different band}, {concession}, {description of enjoyed traits about band}, {anecdote from several years ago}, {more praise for band}, {reiteration of 'us' 'them' binary}
YES!
Well done :)
goooo charmander!
love it
I've thought about e-mailing a link to the band, just to let them know what a fan thinks of their music, but I dunno.
Did you?
>inb4 "why am I getting this recommended 12 years later?"
I saw Jeff Tweedy Play this live without wilco, he's awesome.
Cool
this song is so nice! I want to be an echo! jajaja
how cute
borrowed from 'Our House' but I still love Wilco
they have a beatles type of sound to em im willing to bet there an influence to wilco
reminds me of The Point, music by Harry Nilsson
Quality!!!
@TRusheeRush Ghost is Born is my favorite album from them, but I still think it's debatable. In fact, Jay might've even made that one better, might've made that 15-minute black hole/ambient song interesting.
@schleimwurm1
and beautiful video!
growing up :(
@sn0op2k definitely, but some people down on the comments were arguing about something. i don't even remember.
I know it's the world's biggest cliche, but this sounds very Beatles-ish, Mccartney's Maxwells silverhammer or something like that (if that song was good)
BearWindAppleyard all songs sound the same
2:21 did anyone else think of ELO or David Bowie?

so he slept on a mountain in a sleeping bag underneath the stars he would lie awake and count them
cute
nice
cool
just discovered wilco recently and the video is great. I think you did a reall good job.
I am interested in making my own animated videos but don't know n/e thing about'final cut pro'...do you think you could elaborate on it a bit? n/e info would be gr8? Thnx!
-job well done!
@TRusheeRush he's dead, but indeed. although I do like that new guitarist of theirs, especially impossible germany: Nels Cline
Does anyone else notice a huge Beatles influence?
♥♥♥
really nice vid,well animated,have you ever heard of the jimmy cake?they do beautiful story driven animated vids for all their songs,worth checkin out...
i think wilco was best when jay bennet was in the band
@9Mystere9
rofl. that's some legit programming.
is this the official wilco video or is this fan made?
Did you send it? You should. A good video should augment the song, and yours does.
like it..... very like damien rice
omg is this good
want to here more of nels...
Does that say on the corner of Overtly and Sentimental?
your dad showed us this!
its funny how everyone wants their claim to fame. I know someone who knows someone that made this. My friend's sister is married to the guy who directed Napoleon Dynamite
@Abbs1510 Music is still good you just have to go underground to find it.
is there a version of this song with clearer audio
the original.
No, actually. It doesn't. It sounds very Wilco
Can someone explain to me the Dean from Community saying Jeffrey?
