We Will Defeat Death by Charles Bukowski

- Опубликовано: 3 янв 2020
- 🔰The first video of the year had to be Bukowski. If I could characterize this poem with one word it would be "human" I like its down-to-earth style and its simplicity. I don't want to say anything else that might affect your interpretation. I am just grateful that you guys watch my work and keep me company. I wish you the best in 2020.

📓You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense
amzn.to/2Vx9cAl
you know and I know and thee know
that as the yellow shade rips
as the cat leaps wild-eyed
as the old bartender leans on the wood
as the hummingbird sleeps
you know and I know and thee know
as the tanks practice on false battlefields
as your tires work the freeway
as the midget drunk on cheap bourbon cries alone at night
as the bulls are carefully bred for the matadors
as the grass watches you and the trees watch you
as the sea holds creatures vast and true
you know and I know and thee know
the sadness and the glory of two slippers under a bed
the ballet of your heart dancing with your blood
young girls of love who will someday hate their mirrors
overtime in hell
lunch with sick salad
you know and I know and thee know
the end as we know it now
it seems such a lousy trick after the lousy agony but
you know and I know and thee know
the joy that sometimes comes along out of nowhere
rising like a falcon moon across the impossibility
you know and I know and thee know
the cross-eyed craziness of total elation
we know that we finally have not been cheated
you know and I know and thee know
as we look at our hands our feet our lives our way
the sleeping hummingbird
the murdered dead of armies
the sun that eats you as you face it
you know and I know and thee know
we will defeat death.
"You can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it."
- Charles Bukowski
One of his best lines.
Abdullah Alnashef not sure why you are quoting another poem :)
@@shaneGonnaJones bc this comment was made before sharing the video so i didn't know what poem he will put, and it's a nice one
Abdullah Alnashef now i see this was i live feed. Seems to be fun i guess even though somewhat scattered and random. Visit bukowski.net if you haven’t already and you can dive in deep to a life of writing by one of the best.
I was affected profoundly by this imagery. I don't think I would have missed any of it as well at this location. Of which, I am not aware as of yet. On any given day it could have been anywhere. I sense the artist is quite sincere. Thank you.
I'm usually the kind of person that is constantly blamed for being heartless and cold..and I admit I sometimes can be but I feel such warmth from Bukowski's poems even solace ..whenever I feel like the world is too harsh and blind..I go back to him and he makes me feel understood..
What we do ties in well with content like this. Read The Present on the website called the Global Truth Project. Search it up on google. It is absolutely gratis. Free truth that sets you free.
He makes me feel understood also. Thanks for sharing.
feel you buddy
As long as your actions and words doesn't hurt someone then i think you perfectly fit in this world.
Please never stop doing this videos!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I will try not to.
agreed! just less bukowski please? he’s so self indulgent and relentlessy downbeat.
@@illneas “If you’re going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise, don’t even start.
@@feralmode were the opposite. I loveee bukowski
agreed! each piece is well-made
"The sadness and glory of two slippers under a bed" really got me, strangely impactful line. Loving it. Keep up the great work.
When I hear sounds and words like these, I can imagine a person slowly putting down the gun, and giving themselves one more chance.
I like the sound of laughter you can hear at 0:27. I agree Bukowski is the best way to bring in the new year. He's long dead now but his words still ring true today and will continue to do so after we are dead.
The laugh belongs to a friend of mine, happy new year. I wish you the best
His words might be of more importance as years go by, as changes happen, new meanings are revealed in what he has to say…
"young girls of love who will someday hate their mirrors"
I love all his poetry, his artistic way of capturing emotions on film but what I love the most is the fact I always see a cat or two in his videos and his kindness towards these random cats somehow shows me how he sees life and is truly a gentle kind man
Wow this one was simply on a different level. Filled with simplicity yet absolutely beautiful
we will defeat death in life
i will defeat Alex69 in comments
This I am starting to believe! ☺️
@@Enormymous 😂😂
I love Bukowski. I first read his poetry in 1973 when my father brought home a book of his poetry. I tape recorded the first poem: "What a man I was". I was thirteen & read it with a western cowboy accent.lol
Yes Mike, you beat death, you beat it 6x's. 😊
Hoping to see more of these beautiful movies throughout the year. This was a wonderful poem, accompanied by a worthy video. Thanks for this man!
Thank you for your kind words, more movies will come.
Bukowski's words glide smoothly and painfully in my heart like the arch of the cello making my whole inner world burn, you do an amazing job as you capture defeat, the depressive scenario of despair and hope mixed in this beautiful poem.
Sorry My English is Really Really Bad.
Cheers from Oaxaca México.

Thank you Daniel, I hope you are having a wonderful day.
I love all you do!
Sidenote: when I search "illneas" on RUclips your channel doesn't pop up, I can usually only find you by searching the name of a poem or Charles Bukowski...
Thank you for being here, I know of that problem.. my name is way too similar with the word illness I will try to fix it somehow. Thanks for letting me know
Easiest way... just subscribe...
@@vidyyaa I am suscribed, but it's in case a non-suscriber tries looking him up, for example I told my boyfriend to search "Illneas" and he couldn't find him :)
RUclips corrects it to 'illness' but there is still the option to search for illneas i.e. what you typed. Pops up just fine.
Search for illneas, then u tube asks u to correct the Spelling (but the Spelling isn't incorrect) but u guys don't have to correct it, just click again on illneas & then u can find him easily.
Just brilliant..... Just true..... I want to send everyone seeing this a message... Be good to one another! We are living in a fraction of space time... Smile more and be less distracted by things that don't even matter... It's love that will always prevail and provide.... Smile more..... It's all ok..
all your videos make me feel something so different that no action, no word, no thought can explain this feeling.
I wish I had known about this channel ages ago. I’m in love. Thank you. To use a cell phone and listen to bukowski is such a luxury and I appreciate this so as well as Frost and others. Thank you
This is was appreciated. With the world in a odd place a lot is happening. Listening to Bukowski voice is quite soothing.
The best poetry written since genesis, the birth of this world.
This hits on a different level now that we're all stuck in quarantine. I hope you all are safe and you all feel loved. ♥️
"you know and I know and thee know the sadness and the glory of two slippers under a bed."
That is deep
GREAT VIDEO. i love the small clips that matches the music and how casual they are, its not too colorful or too boring, they are as they are with not too perfect objects, which often have a story because they are worn out. keep on going with the exceptional work!
Thank you for your intepretation of the video. I like imperfections and worn out things, I think it's obvious in my movies. I wish you a happy new year.
@@illneas happy new year!
"Failed pet attempt." The cat is still contemplating the reality.
These videos are so soothing and thought provoking
Dude your videography is insane, goddamn, like each shot is like perfectly done each time.

Man, you are so talented. I have wept to these videos. They have helped me get through some of the most difficult moments of my life. I just want to say thank you, its brilliant brother.
You truly are a blessing for doing these. You alone have opened my eyes to a whole new realm I never expected to even find interest in. It’s all so powerful. You really know how to put together a video. Masterpieces

One of my favorites from him. Great way to start off the new year! Love the film work and timing. Good job man!
the year didnt start off very well unfortunately lol
I love coming back to this!! It speaks to my soul!! Lets get this workout!!
This aged like fine wine my dude. We needed this poem more than ever. #keepsafe
Listening to these bukowski videos tonight has inspired me to take up writing again. Was always passionate about it and been told by multiple teachers that was my calling but gave it up a long time ago. But I feel so inspired by these videos tonight for some reason.
Thank you illneas...I faced a tough time during this isolation. But I know that this too shall pass. Thank you for bringing such joy ♥
God bless you
I had given up on poems after years of lyrical writing for myself.
You have given me a new thought, newly acquired liking for writing, new style, new way of looking at it, new way of its enjoyment…
I appreciate it!!
Absolutely love your work
Wow your videos are breathtaking.
Cinematography, music, poetry.
I love this.
Istg, you're bestest at choosing the great works. Never stop what you're doing!!!! 💜💜💜

Marvellous! I am in awe of such wonderful words.
Your videos bring peace to my soul on a level that I can't even put to words. Thank you so so much for these pieces of true art, I truly hope you know how much light you bring to the world 💫💙
You are sweet. Thank you.
You touched me without even touching me. ♥️ I really really love your videos.
Thank you ^^
Amazing work, my favorite channel on yt :)
It's an honor to call this channel your favorite, thank you 😁
Beautiful video. Athens is like a huge rusty art museum 💜
It's not Athens but close enough, it's Thessaloniki the second biggest city in Greece.
Beautiful! Keep up the great job!
Perfect Timing. Thanks ❤️
Channel is growing so fast. Almost double the subs over the last month. Well done. It is the great content!!!
I wait for you to post.
Thankyou for making this channel
beautiful! the crown of my head started tingling! That was soooo nice!!! :D
I think I’m in love with your readings
These videos bare with me always in my heart❤❤
Thank you so much for what you are doing💚
Great work man. The shots were amazing.
Wow thank you for your nice words
first time I ever liked and commented under a video, but man this is brilliant and your work is top notch, please don't stop producing :D
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Oh, Jesus H, illneas! You've done it again! I couldn't honestly tell you why but I found myself wiping a tear away more than once during this extraordinarily beautiful film. I just know something special is going on (again!). I think It's more than enough to argue that it's a breathtaking project. Godammit, illneas, you are unique! An artist. We are fortunate. Here's to 2020! I'm proud to be part of your community. Thank you ❤️
I'm glad that it made you feel something John, your comments are always unique and beautiful. Thank you for being a part of this community.
Thanks, illneas.You have us hooked, you handsome devil!
Made my day 🙌❤💯 i was having a horrible day and this literally lit me up :')
I love your work. It's incredible, beautiful. And the last shot with the candles and the line "we will defeat death".... The music, the voice.... Everything... Just wow. Please keep going.
The last line hits hard.
@@illneas it does
Don't atop making these videos.
You are the best on youtube ❤️
Not only the selection of poems, but also the music and the imagery. Good job Illneas
Thank you buddy
Your cinematography is truly brilliant!! It can alone represent the whole poem...well done excellent job
Thank you so much!
You Illneas, are my savior. The reason my suicide attempt last year must not have worked, because I was found 19 hours into being unconscious and rushed to hospital, that I needed to REMEMBER poetry. And for that I thank you. I am still not happy with still lingering in this realm, but I have your channel that I always find my way back to, like a well worn slipper, it feels like the only home I know. For that I thank you for your grace and your hard work at making this, may beloved RUclips channel xox
Damn, I never thought my tiny channel could have such an effect on a person's life. I hope you feel better in the future with poetry and kittens by your side. The world needs as many poetry lovers as possible we are outnumbered, be strong and safe.
Many hugs
illneas
aka "a kid with a camera"
love these vids. love the way they give a second life to Bukowski's work.
Never stop doing this!
I think this is really well shot for the poem. I love Bukowski and his poetry
Been in the hospital w an abscess/on IV nutrition and finally turning a corner. That part about cross-eyed elation and joy rising like an impossibility hit real close. Thanks man, these videos are keeping me going!
Dude .. I hope you feel better real soon. I'm glad that you found comfort in my work.
@@illneas Thanks bro, and keep doing what you do 👍👍

ωραίος φίλε, άψογη δουλίτσα, χαιρετισμούς από Αθήνα! :)
Can't believe you started 2020 with this poem wow!
Beautiful.💕
Every night when we sleep
I stay awake
Trying to exorcise these demons
For goodness sake.
Every night it is sweet
Like the new wine
You and I used to drink
Waiting for the sign
To take us away
To take us away.
Every night this ghost
It keeps us company
But we don't mind we make the most
Of the empty, lovely....
...Hour. We fill it to the brim
With all that we have
With patience wearing thin
What more could we add?
To take us away
To take us away.
Every night the shadows
I know them to find
But what about the light
That hides behind?
It is there every night
Like a shy child
Shielded from the glare
Awaiting the sign
To take it away
To take it away.
Every night there's a promise
For us to fulfil
But like the two robbers
It hangs around...
...The one that they took
To kill
While we were asleep
We cling to it still
To take us away
To take us away.
I love this.
I already read it twice and I don’t mind read it for the third time ☹️☹️☹️☹️💗💗💗💗💗
It really hit 💔
Love this. Its like therapy
^^
Glorious. 🌟
