Lyrics :) All the pretty girls like Samuel Oh, he really doesn't share Although it's more than he can handle Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair Oh oh, oh oh ooh Oh oh, oh oh Just as soon as they turn older He'll come and sweep them off their feet It's only making me feel smaller All the hidden love beneath So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down You lay me, won't you lay me down All alone, alone again No one lends a helping hand I have waited, I have waited Takes it's toll, my foolish pride How long before I see the light I have waited, I have waited For you to lay me down Sail on by, sail on by for now They play naked in the water You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried But it just keeps getting harder So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay Oh, won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down Oh, won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me down Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you For you to lay me, won't you let me down
I danced with my girlfriend by the fireplace to this song the night before I left for the military, 4 years later we danced in the living room again to this the night before we went our separate ways. This song is so beautiful and painful.
I wonder if they know that millions of people listen to their song, and when it comes on, some of them cry, some sing their hearts out, some get chills as they listen quietly, and some are inspired by it. Beautiful
I am a metalhead as early as 1981. kaleo has opened up a beautiful genre of music all over again. 1st time I heard all the beautiful girls I got goosebumps and when his voice drops in the end I cheered home alone lol. In a crappy world this band brings the happiness we all so desperately need
This makes me realize we are only here once and we need to spend it wisely but instead we’re ruining this beautiful thing called earth and we just all waste our time being sad while there’s so much to experience and so many people to meet
@@Ness-rin Yeah it just sucks that people are so brainwashed they think humans can't exist without it. The reactions I get when I say we can live without money are sad people will fight tooth and nail poor people mind you, to say we'll fall apart without it when we're already doing that and have been. Society is judged by how we treat our poor and lower class but without money those words wouldn't even exist.
+Zandri Rossouw +Zandri Rossouw +Zandri Rossouw Dunno if they're my favorite band, I also love foals, bear's den, sons of the east, peace, mt. Wolf and racing glaciers. You should check out my playlist called indie rock alternative folk etc.
I love how Kaleo chose to put real, natural, beautiful girls in this video. You can see their freckles and their messy hair, their flowery skirts and their real smiles. You barely see this kind of beauty nowadays.
I am “old” and remember when traveling around the world and going out of curiosity through red light districts of Amsterdam or Vienna in 1970s I saw “professional” women there, waiting for their clients, looking the same way as young women present themselves nowadays. The girls in this video are a breath of fresh air. Hopefully my granddaughter will grow up to look like them.
Lorna Turner Thanks Lorna...I have friends but I still get lonely. This band really speaks to my heart..I think we all get lonely...it's a sad part of our over-connected society...
good song to play while your in the back seat of a car while your on a roadtrip looking through the widows seeing the mountains and canyons all around you
This really takes me back in time. Reminds me of going through teen years with all emotions on fire, always feeling hopeful and excited at the thought of new friendships and relationships, but at the same time always so terrified of missing out, and so lonely inside when I'd see those that I felt like I loved having a better time with other people than me. So many complex and conflicting emotions communicated flawlessly here. Beautiful.
Got the same feelings. But I don't think that those people are better than me. I guess, we all change from time to time. We miss those feelings, but we will find them later again, and these future ones are gonna be even more important to us because we have created and found ourselves.
Heard this song on a random radio station one day while I was cleaning. When it came on, I literally stopped what I was doing and just sat next the the radio cranked on high until it was over. Then, I found it on RUclips and listened to it over and over. ❤
@@dbodooley I can understand he thinks like that. It's so damn natural, fluently beautiful! For me it's exactly how a song of this genre should be. Maybe not the greatest of em all but that depends on your view of what makes a song agood one :)
This song is hands down one of my favorites. It instantly transports me to a place of naive, deep, chest-open-heart-pounding knot in my throat type of loneliness that makes me feel oddly at peace with life. I know that sounds super pessimistic, but it’s important to feel those moments every now and then. Thank you Kaleo
This is one of my favorite songs, even though it makes me feel such intense loneliness. This song, to me, gives off a feel of naïve and open honesty that hits really hard when you're listening to it with your own situation in mind and what you're going through personally. I like that JJ knows that lyric meanings are deeply personal and doesn't comment on his story so as not to ruin anyone else's.
I am in tears. This is the first time I've heard Kaleo... this song is beautiful. I don't think a song/video has ever moved me so much on the first listen. Thank you. I'm in love now.
This is my introduction to this wonderful band as well. I fell deeply madly in love and I had never ever in my life seen such visual Beauty and the words and the song the music everything it was just magnificent and life-changing
Nice to see no one with their face down looking at a cell phone… or trying to take a selfie... I think we miss so much nowadays trying to capture everything. Amazing song. Thank you.
For some reason this takes me back like 15 years. I had the best friend in my entire life. I never fit in well and never was good at social situations. My friend was so popular, had guys and girls constantly chasing him. We spent a lot of nights out together, a lot of times I'd drink too much and wind up depressed. But everytime he'd take me home with one hand while gently brushing my hair with the other. He told me constantly that things were going to be OK. I remember seeing him one last night before leaving for the NAVY. I was more heartbreaking than I ever was. Then some years later he came back to our town and I remember seeing him walk out on the patio and I felt in some sort of way I never had before or after.. that things were OK. I remember him telling me that no matter how much time had passed we'd remain friends, forever, regardless of what happened. Last I heard he had several kids but it wasn't working out with his woman. Wherever he is, I hope he's truly happy, I will never forget the way he made me feel and memories that have helped keep me warm, even on the coldest of nights.
you really makes me open my eyes that the world it's not that deep, There are still good people who will understand and always cares but now is not the right time
that's why I love spotify. they introduced me to the band like this. So great that I can listen to them all day. Good job guys, keep making great musics
All the pretty girls like Samuel Oh, he really doesn't share Although it's more than he can handle Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair Oh oh, oh oh ooh Oh oh, oh oh Just as soon as they turn older He'll come and sweep them off their feet It's only making me feel smaller All the hidden love beneath So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down You lay me, won't you lay me down All alone, alone again No one lends a helping hand I have waited, I have waited Takes it's toll, my foolish pride How long before I see the light I have waited, I have waited For you to lay me down Sail on by, sail on by for now They play naked in the water You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried But it just keeps getting harder So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay Oh, won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down Oh, won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me down Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you For you to lay me, won't you let me down
(...) and for Sigur Rós, Múm, Rokkurró, Of Monsters and Men, Ólafur Arnalds, Seabear and so many others! They should feel inspired by those breathtaking landscapes!
Every so often you find perfection and beauty. This song is as such. It’s just heartbreakingly beautiful in every way possible. I don’t know whether to cry or just smile. It’s just so much actual love this song conveys in the music and the video.
That's exactly what I thought too this is why I fell in love with this particular video the most because it was so beautifully done especially when they're all running in a single line in the field and the cameras moving with them that is beautiful
I do!! this year, im a junior in high school, and i met this girl this year that loves adventuring, taking pics of stars and im astronomy so i know a good amount about space and stuff like that and we've been hanging out a bit lately and shes so fun and cool. actually ive met like 4 people just this year that would love to party on a beach like that. wow, im gonna ask them if we can all goto the beach and do this
Ah, this song brings back some AWESOME memories. My best friends have all been girls. It is just a special bond when I get that connection with a girl, where we can be as shameless as a couple, without being a couple. I find that is when I can be my most honest self. One friend I really miss, is a very nice lady whom I shared all I was with, and she with me. We used to always share a bed, just to be close. Not for sex. It was so nice. I will always love her, where ever she is now
KALEO are gonna be in my country in a few days and sadly i cannot go:( and now i was thinking how amazingly beautiful it would be to hear this song live.. maybe next year (fingers crossed)
I'm in love... I started listening to your music. And here all the way from Utah... so much love of your music. It's what this world needs. This is what the music industry is missing... heart and soul. Rustic, raw, and beautiful. From my tribe to yours, thank you for the music.
I have this in my Yahoo Music playlist, but the video just seals it for me. The feeling of being sad and overlooked existing as just someone familiar and not relevant in any significant way. Pretty much sums up my 20’s and 30’s, a beautiful song adding a little light to a dark place in my life.
The song, its lyrics ,its melody, the guitar in the middle brought music to a whole new level..I listen to this song since its release and still find it more melodious everyday.. Somewhere somehow it feels like this song explains "LIFE"...
I still can't believe that Kaleo can have such diversity in music! From tear-jerkers like this to full on blues rock like "Hot Blood."This is why they are the best band ever!
I fell in love with this band the moment I first heard them. The first time I heard this Song it moved me to my core because it reminded me of my only nephew who was murdered in August 2015 . Two teenage brothers he called 'friends' shot him in the back 10 times leaving him to die alone in the woods behind their home. They had stolen his money before shooting him down, then left him face down in the dirt while they took his shoes, belt & cellphone & went partying. As a mother of 2 children myself, my heart breaks for my sister whose life is forever changed. This Song will forever remind me of Cianan who only lived to be 20 years old. RIP Cianan - we miss you unbearably. May God bless you & keep you & give you peace.
I work in a Scandinavian store and we play song by Scandinavian artists and that’s how I found this song. I love it. It reminds me of summer,my friends, being sunburnt and summer fun
This video is absolutely mesmerizing and breathtaking in its simplicity. I continue to be more and more amazed by Kaleo and their artistry. My only thought during this video was "Wow. What a splendid representation of how pure humanity to can be." What a fantastic song, video, and band. They definitely redefine current music for me.
All the pretty girls like Samuel ohh he really doesn't share Although it's more than he can handle life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair Just as soon as they turn older he'll come and sweep them off their feet It's only making me feel smaller All the hidden love beneath Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down All alone, alone again No one lends a helping hand I have waited, I have waited Takes it's toll, one's foolish pride How long before I see the light I have waited, I have waited for you to lay me down Sail on by, sail on by for now They play naked in the water You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried But it just keeps getting harder So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay - me down I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you For you to lay me won't you lay me down
A Rando A gay man wishes that his feelings for Samuel would be reciprocated, but knows that it's in vain, as he is heterosexual and pursued by beautiful girls.
I notice there is 3 girls and 2 guys. Around 1:40 mark the blonde girl looks at the camera and throws the hay at the camera, as if it were another person. There are another couple of times where she blows kisses at the camera... I wonder if the camera is a personal POV for a 3rd guy who's watching the girl he's in love with. The grain filter added to this video gives it a sort of home video feel.
I love that thought! I just think the person who is watching the video should be that camera man. This song makes me feel like I am part of happiness, a group... You know what I mean?😂💛
Kaleo All the pretty girls like Samuel Oh, he really doesn't share Although it's more than he can handle Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair Oh oh, oh oh ooh Oh oh, oh oh Just as soon as they turn older He'll come and sweep them off their feet It's only making me feel smaller All the hidden love beneath So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down You lay me, won't you lay me down All alone, alone again No one lends a helping hand I have waited, I have waited Takes it's toll, my foolish pride How long before I see the light I have waited, I have waited For you to lay me down Sail on by, sail on by for now They play naked in the water You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried But it just keeps getting harder So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, won't you lay Oh, won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down Won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down Oh, won't you lay me, won't you lay me down Won't you lay me down Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you For you to lay me, won't you let me down
A Blessed Group of individuals with a sound that transcends this moment and moves into a place where pure light exist...Needless to say, this group is needed and wanted. Continue on!
this song gives me such incredible emotions... it plunges me into some kind of warm-sad nostalgia, you know, like when something happy ends and never comes back, or, on the contrary, when something ended sadly, but there is still hope in you...
Heard this song from Manifest and Vampire Diaries. It brings a soothing I can’t explain and it comes on during pivotal bittersweet moments in these drama series’s. ❤️❤️ Thank you for this raw emotions.
really is an song much beautiful she transmit happiness more to same time sadness sensation in freedom and at the same time an loneliness think what The word certain of that song it's life.
DAMN!, I love this band! I have difficulty to understanding how a band like this, with such beautiful songs are only a few million views. While the song (Drake - Bling Hotline) have over 736 million views ... :/
That’s the type of songs that hit me right in the heart. You know, that feeling when all of your friends are hanging out with their girlfriends, but you’re the one who’s always left behind by girls… not even being ugly or stupid, not at all, but feeling that lonely, being worse against the backdrop of friends, having nobody to feel alive with, so many attempts to share love with someone and so many rejections… wish I’m not alone here, cause there’s no such a comment I know it’s hard, heaven knows I’ve tried
This is supposed to be a happy video but honestly it made me cry harder than ever before. It's just one of those things you spend your whole life searching for but might never find. And that's just the video. I never listen to this song in public cause I either tear up or get up and start singing along😂. Thank you Kaleo and whoever else made this happen. It truly is a work of art
After a bad day when nothing seems to go right and your fed up with everyone and everything, you stumble upon a gem like this and immediately your faith in mankind and yourself is restored. Bravo sirs. To everyone who reads this, keep fighting the good fight. We are all going through it, but I know there will be peace in the end. 2k19 and forever..🌞🥀
this is the kind of love I want in any kind of relationship, the purest and truest kind. but unfortunately we're all generally so conditioned to dissect love until we can't even keep track of all the pieces. it's just one love, man, and this is it.
Love all your songs, to the point where I’ve started guitar lessons. My little boy is 7 and called Samuel , I can confirm that all the pretty girls love Samuel. Keep it up .
I fell in love with my ex when he first covered this song. This song always brings me all the happy, giddy and mushy feelings I first felt for him. It's been a year since we broke up. The break up really broke me.. we were not working out for a lot of reasons, but I still cherish the memories I have with him, they were the best moments during the worst period of my life. It's bittersweet to listen to this song, but I do come back to it from time to time. Hey Kanna, if you ever read this, I hope you are happy and loved. Thank you for everything.
+David Duggan I was just telling my wife that this is literally a mixture of all my favorite bands, City and Colour, George Ezra, Bon Iver. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goood! Cant wait to go see them next year!
“I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you!” Really hits when you been waiting for her, this girl I have liked since 5th grade, we are now about to be seniors in high school. I want to tell her idk how
this reminds me of my deceased best friend. I wish she could have heard this song... She would have loved it. Thank you Kaleo. You've brought me some comfort through some tough times.
They look like my friends in our early 20s having fun by the ocean in Oregon. I miss them so much now. The open vulnerability, the painful honesty in the falsetto. The way he grows up right before our ears. Brutal. 🥰🥰🥰
3.03. When his voice drops. Is that not incredible? 1.40. When The Lady throws the hay at the camera. Beautiful. I wasn't sure about this song when it first came out because to me in my humble opinion, it just felt like someone who couldn't get a girlfriend. But... I guess now, it's almost like...even if it is about that, I've felt that in the past. I feel like that now. The song is amazing. Regardless. Sorry for going so deep.
I grew up in Norway. Driving around in my old volvo station wagon listen to music cassettes with blond beauties in summer dresses, smoking rolled up cigs and drinking cold beer. Not a worry in the world........what a spot on video to bring those memories. thanks!
This video brings tears to my eyes. The definition of the song and video never fit better. This is art. True art. Let yourself free! Get lost in the world! God is telling you to stop holding back. We want to see you happy. There is no right or wrong destination.You don’t have to hold back anymore! Run, walk, lay down, sleep, anything! There is no time. Let the wind blow your hair, let the water see your eyes, let the bees sniff your perfume, let the squirrels hold your hand. Just be free
This was the first song that got me into this band all those years ago. The filming reminds me of a little town in Denmark. Where I used to spend time messing around with friends and cousins. In 2018 I found myself in darkness. Thanks to JJ and the other guys for their work I was brought back. Kaleo will always be my favourite band and I'll be following you guys and your work for many years to come. Thank you. ❤
I love how they went skinny-dipping, and they went spelunking and the girls wore bikinis and there was nothing sexual about it. They were a group of friends living and laughing. nowadays we see all sorts of bullcrap in videos and we've started to forget that there can actually be non-sexual relationships or relationships that are just so sweet. thank u for this video

Lyrics :)
All the pretty girls like Samuel
Oh, he really doesn't share
Although it's more than he can handle
Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair
Oh oh, oh oh ooh
Oh oh, oh oh
Just as soon as they turn older
He'll come and sweep them off their feet
It's only making me feel smaller
All the hidden love beneath
So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
You lay me, won't you lay me down
All alone, alone again
No one lends a helping hand
I have waited, I have waited
Takes it's toll, my foolish pride
How long before I see the light
I have waited, I have waited
For you to lay me down
Sail on by, sail on by for now
They play naked in the water
You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried
But it just keeps getting harder
So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay
Oh, won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down
Oh, won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me down
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
For you to lay me, won't you let me down
Now that's living free!

I wonder if they know that millions of people listen to their song, and when it comes on, some of them cry, some sing their hearts out, some get chills as they listen quietly, and some are inspired by it. Beautiful
They know 😌
Yeaaaah we do and they know it

Around the campfire
still here crying… almost two years later
New this song..But love it..❤❤ I would love too..and just never leave.

“In a crappy world” this world is extraordinarily beautiful. If you think it’s crappy that’s your own fault.
@@dbodooley he's referring to the people, and in that, he is correct.
There's heaps of good music out there lol

It's sad for me ._.)

good song to play while your in the back seat of a car while your on a roadtrip looking through the widows seeing the mountains and canyons all around you
Ki Neil wow i picture that exact image when I listen to this
Mariam Nadeem ikr !!!
done this ! except on a motorcycle on my way to ladakh :)
Bigpapa's vlogs OMG thats exactly my thoughts dude your awesome
omg i was thinking the same thing....also...when you are just taking a long drive yourself.
The "I'll wait for you" part is the most emotional part of any song I've ever heard. It brings me to tears.
yess
Have you heard "I will wait" from Mumford and Sons?🤔
+Norman Valenzuela you mean the band where almost all there songs sound the same?
+bas sabo yeah
I agree with Hunter... :)
This really takes me back in time. Reminds me of going through teen years with all emotions on fire, always feeling hopeful and excited at the thought of new friendships and relationships, but at the same time always so terrified of missing out, and so lonely inside when I'd see those that I felt like I loved having a better time with other people than me. So many complex and conflicting emotions communicated flawlessly here. Beautiful.
I'm in very same place right now, thank You for Your words.
Got the same feelings. But I don't think that those people are better than me. I guess, we all change from time to time. We miss those feelings, but we will find them later again, and these future ones are gonna be even more important to us because we have created and found ourselves.
Heard this song on a random radio station one day while I was cleaning. When it came on, I literally stopped what I was doing and just sat next the the radio cranked on high until it was over. Then, I found it on RUclips and listened to it over and over. ❤
Alisia Hardin isn't it amazing!! 💜💜
+Megan Lecomte yes 💓
Beautiful Song 🎵
I did the same!
kaleo needs to make thousands of songs like this, cuz this is legitimately the greatest song ive ever heard.
Agreed
Yes
This is the greatest song you’ve ever heard? Wow. That’s one hell of a reach
@@dbodooley I can understand he thinks like that. It's so damn natural, fluently beautiful! For me it's exactly how a song of this genre should be. Maybe not the greatest of em all but that depends on your view of what makes a song agood one :)
@@PolitischeImmunität You got it dude
This song is hands down one of my favorites. It instantly transports me to a place of naive, deep, chest-open-heart-pounding knot in my throat type of loneliness that makes me feel oddly at peace with life. I know that sounds super pessimistic, but it’s important to feel those moments every now and then. Thank you Kaleo
@Dat Legend: ...can definitely relate...
Beautiful Song 🎵
This is one of my favorite songs, even though it makes me feel such intense loneliness. This song, to me, gives off a feel of naïve and open honesty that hits really hard when you're listening to it with your own situation in mind and what you're going through personally. I like that JJ knows that lyric meanings are deeply personal and doesn't comment on his story so as not to ruin anyone else's.
The irony is that it may make you feel lonely but it also reminds you.that everyone else does too.. which makes you feel less lonely.
Using broader terms is a common skill using by artists to appeal to a wider audience in helping them connect their own meaning to it! 🎉
Hope you have a great partner now brother
I am in tears. This is the first time I've heard Kaleo... this song is beautiful. I don't think a song/video has ever moved me so much on the first listen. Thank you. I'm in love now.
And way down we go...
This is my introduction to this wonderful band as well. I fell deeply madly in love and I had never ever in my life seen such visual Beauty and the words and the song the music everything it was just magnificent and life-changing
I love this song!🤣
Me too...first time hearing this. Loved it
This song is so beautiful and makes me feel like I‘m in another world...idk how to describe it✨
In another world alone, but still not alone ...
Nice to see no one with their face down looking at a cell phone… or trying to take a selfie... I think we miss so much nowadays trying to capture everything.
Amazing song. Thank you.
i wish they had more songs like this
Just listen to Bon Iver
Emma O'Neil listen to youth daughter good song and Jude I know

For some reason this takes me back like 15 years. I had the best friend in my entire life. I never fit in well and never was good at social situations. My friend was so popular, had guys and girls constantly chasing him. We spent a lot of nights out together, a lot of times I'd drink too much and wind up depressed. But everytime he'd take me home with one hand while gently brushing my hair with the other. He told me constantly that things were going to be OK. I remember seeing him one last night before leaving for the NAVY. I was more heartbreaking than I ever was. Then some years later he came back to our town and I remember seeing him walk out on the patio and I felt in some sort of way I never had before or after.. that things were OK. I remember him telling me that no matter how much time had passed we'd remain friends, forever, regardless of what happened. Last I heard he had several kids but it wasn't working out with his woman. Wherever he is, I hope he's truly happy, I will never forget the way he made me feel and memories that have helped keep me warm, even on the coldest of nights.
@Someone Out-there: TY for sharing such beautiful, poignant memories!...It somehow warns my soul!! 🙏
you really makes me open my eyes that the world it's not that deep, There are still good people who will understand and always cares but now is not the right time
that's why I love spotify. they introduced me to the band like this. So great that I can listen to them all day. Good job guys, keep making great musics
Exactly! I found them there yesterday and I was in love immediately. I think I'm gonna attend their show in The Netherlands late January.

Oh, he really doesn't share
Although it's more than he can handle
Life is anything but fair, life is anything but fair
Oh oh, oh oh ooh
Oh oh, oh oh

He'll come and sweep them off their feet
It's only making me feel smaller
All the hidden love beneath

Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
You lay me, won't you lay me down
All alone, alone again
No one lends a helping hand
I have waited, I have waited
Takes it's toll, my foolish pride
How long before I see the light
I have waited, I have waited
For you to lay me down
Sail on by, sail on by for now
They play naked in the water
You know it's hard, heaven knows I've tried
But it just keeps getting harder
So won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay me down
Won't you lay me, won't you lay
Oh, won't you lay me, oh won't you lay me down

Yeah, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait for you
For you to lay me, won't you let me down
Highly appreciated ❤
And I just got Bon Iver feels. Ya know? I mean.. This was.. I have no words. These are the type of songs I live for.
You felt that because the guitar part is almost exactly the same as Skinny Love by Bon Iver.
Yeah I'm surprised because this song didnt get sued by Bon Iver because it exactly sounds the same
Ben Howard+Vance Joy+Bon Iver=Kaleo
In some music + The Black Keys hahah
Ben Howard+Vance Joy+Bon Iver+Death Cab For Cutie+Devendra Banhart+ Low Roar=Kaleo
Beth Kearney good shout!
Honestly this is my favorite song among all of kaleo's songs
same bro same
Same
This looks like the perfect day.
I would like to thank Iceland for Björk, Kaleo and their beautiful views
(...) and for Sigur Rós, Múm, Rokkurró, Of Monsters and Men, Ólafur Arnalds, Seabear and so many others! They should feel inspired by those breathtaking landscapes!
ContraCorrenteFilmes exactly!
Hey man what's going on in their
no problem
don't forget waterfalls, waterfalls, and oh ya waterfalls.
Every so often you find perfection and beauty. This song is as such. It’s just heartbreakingly beautiful in every way possible. I don’t know whether to cry or just smile. It’s just so much actual love this song conveys in the music and the video.
awesome cinematography for a great song
That's exactly what I thought too this is why I fell in love with this particular video the most because it was so beautifully done especially when they're all running in a single line in the field and the cameras moving with them that is beautiful
does anybody actually have friends this cool, or. . ?
I wish my friends and I did shit like this
I wish
I do!! this year, im a junior in high school, and i met this girl this year that loves adventuring, taking pics of stars and im astronomy so i know a good amount about space and stuff like that and we've been hanging out a bit lately and shes so fun and cool. actually ive met like 4 people just this year that would love to party on a beach like that. wow, im gonna ask them if we can all goto the beach and do this
Let me guess, they are all vegans ?
Davíð Árni Guðmundsson no... why do people like you always have to say something snarky and obnoxious just to ruin good moments...?
I'm in tears. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Just really makes you feel something
You're in tears ?

I got same feeling when i first heard it and saw video. Absolutely brilliant
Its songs and videos like these that make me wanna live life to the fulliest n jus love life..
Ah, this song brings back some AWESOME memories. My best friends have all been girls. It is just a special bond when I get that connection with a girl, where we can be as shameless as a couple, without being a couple. I find that is when I can be my most honest self. One friend I really miss, is a very nice lady whom I shared all I was with, and she with me. We used to always share a bed, just to be close. Not for sex. It was so nice. I will always love her, where ever she is now
That is freaking awesome. One of the most touching things I've read. You've been very blessed.
You had an awesome best friend.... this is so touching for me to read. bless you and your life
KALEO are gonna be in my country in a few days and sadly i cannot go:( and now i was thinking how amazingly beautiful it would be to hear this song live.. maybe next year (fingers crossed)
I'm in love... I started listening to your music. And here all the way from Utah... so much love of your music. It's what this world needs. This is what the music industry is missing... heart and soul. Rustic, raw, and beautiful. From my tribe to yours, thank you for the music.
Amen
yesss
Utah?? Me too!!!
They just got another fan from Utah!
Your response Rebecca was as beautiful as the song
Whenever I hear this song, I think of the sadness in my life, and I swear I'm almost brought to tears. Your music is so beautiful.
I have this in my Yahoo Music playlist, but the video just seals it for me. The feeling of being sad and overlooked existing as just someone familiar and not relevant in any significant way. Pretty much sums up my 20’s and 30’s, a beautiful song adding a little light to a dark place in my life.
@@jeffpenn3394 I hope your life has become a bit brighter these days...💐
@@jeffpenn3394I feel you. I’m the same.
2:28 is my favorite music video moment of all time, The Ballad of Cleopatra comes in close second.
The song, its lyrics ,its melody, the guitar in the middle brought music to a whole new level..I listen to this song since its release and still find it more melodious everyday..
Somewhere somehow it feels like this song explains "LIFE"...
I still can't believe that Kaleo can have such diversity in music! From tear-jerkers like this to full on blues rock like "Hot Blood."This is why they are the best band ever!
6 years later..... still a banger
I fell in love with this band the moment I first heard them. The first time I heard this Song it moved me to my core because it reminded me of my only nephew who was murdered in August 2015 . Two teenage brothers he called 'friends' shot him in the back 10 times leaving him to die alone in the woods behind their home. They had stolen his money before shooting him down, then left him face down in the dirt while they took his shoes, belt & cellphone & went partying. As a mother of 2 children myself, my heart breaks for my sister whose life is forever changed. This Song will forever remind me of Cianan who only lived to be 20 years old. RIP Cianan - we miss you unbearably. May God bless you & keep you & give you peace.
I think this is the warmest song I ever heard ❤️☹️
I work in a Scandinavian store and we play song by Scandinavian artists and that’s how I found this song. I love it. It reminds me of summer,my friends, being sunburnt and summer fun
This video is absolutely mesmerizing and breathtaking in its simplicity. I continue to be more and more amazed by Kaleo and their artistry. My only thought during this video was "Wow. What a splendid representation of how pure humanity to can be." What a fantastic song, video, and band. They definitely redefine current music for me.
Birgir and Dikta is olso werry good Iceland band and Skálmöld :)

A Rando A gay man wishes that his feelings for Samuel would be reciprocated, but knows that it's in vain, as he is heterosexual and pursued by beautiful girls.
haven't heard this one for a very long time.. and i just got chills all over my body.
this song is so beautiful and so nostalgic at the same time
I can't believe that a great band like this , doesn't have a lot of fans , whaaaaaaaaat ????,
Kaleo is,my best band ever
I notice there is 3 girls and 2 guys. Around 1:40 mark the blonde girl looks at the camera and throws the hay at the camera, as if it were another person. There are another couple of times where she blows kisses at the camera... I wonder if the camera is a personal POV for a 3rd guy who's watching the girl he's in love with. The grain filter added to this video gives it a sort of home video feel.
And the last I'll wait for you as her in it staring at the camera smiling a bit so that's pretty plausible
nice perspective
I love that thought! I just think the person who is watching the video should be that camera man. This song makes me feel like I am part of happiness, a group... You know what I mean?😂💛
Well actually, 3:10 is a shot where 6 people can be seen! But the camera still moves a bit... I'm confused
I like you take on this I never would of though of that

one thing that always inspire me is the guitar work in all Kaleo song
always good balance between the voice and music
A Blessed Group of individuals with a sound that transcends this moment and moves into a place where pure light exist...Needless to say, this group is needed and wanted. Continue on!
This is so real, words can't even begin to describe the intricate beauty of this song and video. I absolutely love it with all my heart.
this song gives me such incredible emotions... it plunges me into some kind of warm-sad nostalgia, you know, like when something happy ends and never comes back, or, on the contrary, when something ended sadly, but there is still hope in you...
The scenery in this is gorgeous. Iceland is quickly becoming the best place in the world to move to.
i have no idea why or how but this song means so much to me. Just the music video alone makes me think of how i really want to live my life.
Heard this song from Manifest and Vampire Diaries. It brings a soothing I can’t explain and it comes on during pivotal bittersweet moments in these drama series’s. ❤️❤️ Thank you for this raw emotions.
When I am at my lowest, I look to this video and feel at ease. So incredibly beautiful and a work of exquisite art.
really is an song much beautiful she transmit happiness more to same time sadness sensation in freedom and at the same time an loneliness think what The word certain of that song it's life.
Omg that smile at 1:40 . I fell in love
+Vojtěch Kočí Agree
Fantastic tune, absolutely full of life and inspiration, would like to travel the world with this sound
The Pirate Bay brought me here ! =)
Lmao

DAMN!, I love this band! I have difficulty to understanding how a band like this, with such beautiful songs are only a few million views. While the song (Drake - Bling Hotline) have over 736 million views ... :/
Salut steel Grace à toi j'ai découvert ce super groupe vraiment THANKS !😀
Merci steel pour ce groupe 😄
Hey steel xD J'y avais pas penser de se réencontrer car je revien des défis minecraft.Bref tu a bien fait de nous parler de ce groupe.😄😄😄
Because the people only listen music that is mainstream(kaka(merda)) and never care about the lyrics and the meaning of it .. sad but true ..
hey hotline bling is good..
How have I only just found these guys. Spending the rest of my evening discovering all these beautiful songs they have produced
That moment at 1:41 ... I feel like I am there... And it's a damn good feeling at that
That’s the type of songs that hit me right in the heart. You know, that feeling when all of your friends are hanging out with their girlfriends, but you’re the one who’s always left behind by girls… not even being ugly or stupid, not at all, but feeling that lonely, being worse against the backdrop of friends, having nobody to feel alive with, so many attempts to share love with someone and so many rejections… wish I’m not alone here, cause there’s no such a comment
I know it’s hard, heaven knows I’ve tried
i understand
I totally get you.
This is supposed to be a happy video but honestly it made me cry harder than ever before. It's just one of those things you spend your whole life searching for but might never find. And that's just the video. I never listen to this song in public cause I either tear up or get up and start singing along😂. Thank you Kaleo and whoever else made this happen. It truly is a work of art
Imagine if Kaleo would collaborate with the Lumineers
Most amazing thing I have EVER heard!!!!
Saw them live with the lumineers a few years back! He sounds just as good live as he does on the tracks!
Or Bon Iver
@@rylanperryman7640 yep, I was also thinking of Bon Iver when I first heard this song
That would be nuts

After a bad day when nothing seems to go right and your fed up with everyone and everything, you stumble upon a gem like this and immediately your faith in mankind and yourself is restored. Bravo sirs. To everyone who reads this, keep fighting the good fight. We are all going through it, but I know there will be peace in the end. 2k19 and forever..🌞🥀

"All alone, alone again no one lends a helping hand"
2:09 this part reminds of a song I CANT REMEMBER WHAT THO 😩
Did you get it? Me this part reminds a song called "Over & Over" by Goo Goo Dolls but I have no idea why, so did you get it?
this is the kind of love I want in any kind of relationship, the purest and truest kind. but unfortunately we're all generally so conditioned to dissect love until we can't even keep track of all the pieces. it's just one love, man, and this is it.
hi from japan.
Their song talks to people, i feel that way.

I find it impossible to not sing along at the ending

Right!!
Love all your songs, to the point where I’ve started guitar lessons. My little boy is 7 and called Samuel , I can confirm that all the pretty girls love Samuel.
Keep it up .
I fell in love with my ex when he first covered this song. This song always brings me all the happy, giddy and mushy feelings I first felt for him. It's been a year since we broke up. The break up really broke me.. we were not working out for a lot of reasons, but I still cherish the memories I have with him, they were the best moments during the worst period of my life. It's bittersweet to listen to this song, but I do come back to it from time to time. Hey Kanna, if you ever read this, I hope you are happy and loved. Thank you for everything.
Anyone else hear some hints of City & Colour in here? Awesome.
I hear it

I'm so happy this song has reached 6 million views! I remember like 2 months ago it had 4,5 million views
“I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you!” Really hits when you been waiting for her, this girl I have liked since 5th grade, we are now about to be seniors in high school. I want to tell her idk how
this reminds me of my deceased best friend. I wish she could have heard this song... She would have loved it.

This song means more to me than words can say. One of these days I'm gonna sing it for everyone. Much Love Kaleo, you guys are special. ❤

I wasn't sure about this song when it first came out because to me in my humble opinion, it just felt like someone who couldn't get a girlfriend. But...
I guess now, it's almost like...even if it is about that, I've felt that in the past. I feel like that now.
The song is amazing. Regardless.
Sorry for going so deep.
I’m from japan and I don’t know why I come to here, but this song made me feel better. Love it!
I grew up in Norway. Driving around in my old volvo station wagon listen to music cassettes with blond beauties in summer dresses, smoking rolled up cigs and drinking cold beer. Not a worry in the world........what a spot on video to bring those memories. thanks!
People in Norway really don't listen to cassettes smoking rolled cigs? The only rolled thing I smoke is kind bud.😁

This video brings tears to my eyes. The definition of the song and video never fit better. This is art. True art. Let yourself free! Get lost in the world! God is telling you to stop holding back. We want to see you happy. There is no right or wrong destination.You don’t have to hold back anymore! Run, walk, lay down, sleep, anything! There is no time. Let the wind blow your hair, let the water see your eyes, let the bees sniff your perfume, let the squirrels hold your hand. Just be free
This song is gonna make a comeback when all the millennials who grew up listening to this become filmmakers
this is definitely my new favorite band. I’ve found my new favorite music. ♥️
This was the first song that got me into this band all those years ago. The filming reminds me of a little town in Denmark. Where I used to spend time messing around with friends and cousins. In 2018 I found myself in darkness. Thanks to JJ and the other guys for their work I was brought back. Kaleo will always be my favourite band and I'll be following you guys and your work for many years to come. Thank you. ❤
This song makes me think soo much of summer
I love how they went skinny-dipping, and they went spelunking and the girls wore bikinis and there was nothing sexual about it. They were a group of friends living and laughing. nowadays we see all sorts of bullcrap in videos and we've started to forget that there can actually be non-sexual relationships or relationships that are just so sweet. thank u for this video
Absolutely, btw, AURORA and her song Through The Eyes Of A Child is another one of these beautiful artists.
Have a good one
