Almost a decade of me returning to this video when I need something to warm my heart... It's impossible to turn this song on and just listen to it once. Repeat is mandatory!
We need more bands like this who don't try to be cool. I have so much respect for bands who invest their emotions in their music. It just makes the performances so much better! It's beautiful!! I love this band!
Years ago, this was the first of anything I had seen or heard from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The emotion in this performance is something I'll never forget. What an amazing video!
Some place below, in the chaos of comments, is a remark from me under another account. Simply stating "This makes me happy". I still come here and I can say that after seven years of listening on and off that this video still makes me happy.
They sound amazing live I hope I will get to see them live in my lifetime. They have so much energy and just want to have fun its awesome to see that on stage it makes it about the music not the money!
Going to see these guys on Sunday in a CHURCH in Philly! I am soooo pumped! If you don't know about Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros....then shame on you!
This live performance is so good it could be a studio version. Damn! Really epic how he goes into the song and makes it his own in a new different way, compared to the album!
My wife and I just stumbled upon the band and are BLOWN AWAY. OMG they are amazing. Can't get enough and would love to see them. We live in Surrey B. C. and are considering a trek to Sonoma in June 2011.
Thanks thought it was just me. This song i could see being played at a sock hop. Definitely a '50's vibe for this song. The composure and sound. very eclectic range on the album. AWesssome band.!!!!
This is Pennsylvania's top band. I'm glad I live here so that I can say that we all are the hippies of the country. The best of vibes run out of this song.
Yeah...and also swing by California! Haha! Hippies originate on the West Coast. LOL! I moved from California to Pennsylvania recently (born and raised in Cali) and I'm here to tell you that I stand out a bit here...not a whole lot of kindred hippie spirits here. But they are multiplying!! Haha!
Shoutout for 2021. I remember watching this when it was “new” still getting good feelings through my body now as I write this. “HEY, TURN UP THE PIANO CRYSTAL!”
I've seen them many times and always been quite impressed...until recently in Cincinnati at a festival in which Alex seemed as if he were to high to form a thought let alone convey it to his mouth. It all fell apart and fizzled out. It was like when someone tells you a joke and you felt obligated to laugh...that's how my applause was lent.
I heard this song for the first time today while half asleep sitting in my rental at the farm. It woke me up. I jotted down some of the lyrics and googled it. Found out who it is and purchased the album on Itunes. Love this song.....hope the rest of the album sounds as good cause I cant stop playing this one Its one of those songs that sticks right off the bat
Hi. I´m from Mendoza, Argentina. The day I listened to this song on a local radio I could not listen to the name of the band... and I went crazy!!!!! These guys are simply amazing... here we don´t have music like this. They are really magnetic!!!!!! River of Love is another grate song!!!!!!
I just discovered this band ten minutes ago and I am simply blown away. Never I have I seen a group on individuals so completely give themselves over to their music. This is such a pure example of music for music's sake that my heart aches to experience it. I feel so filled with hope that such magic is still possible...
Lol he gave up drugs long ago. In fact, he formed this band after getting out of rehab. But omg. Alex is the most energetic person I've ever seen!!! :D
u get in a small crowd with this song live, there's no way YOU'RE not moving like that ... look at this song live at Garibaldi in Milwaukee and u'll see what I mean
+James Thompson I believe it's the new strawberry whip energy drink from rockstar. kids listen up: drink it today and you too can be like Edward shapre! :))
hahaha I know lots of people who dance like that. It's called : not giving a ratsass what other people think about you. just being happy and feeling free :)
I also was a live witness at the first RR tour stop in Oakland. WOW!! What a great show. Everyone on the ticket LOVES music, that is obvious, and the free spirit of Alex and his band was truly inspirational!! I took my Daughter for her 16th BDay, and I will never forget this show!
-- Dear Edward Sharpe, Jade, and the Magnetic Zeros, While walking my dog today, I noticed that something was off. Your fans are getting desperate. Since you've split up, they've been trying pseudo-occult books and experimenting with stem cells found in cat brains and rabbit intestines. You inspired them to reconfigure their DNA and open their third eyes. But without your anima/animus example, the fans have begun mutating into creatures from our evolutionary past. -- You are the spiritual superheroes of a corrupt digital planet. Help us overthrow the Old World Order Surveillance Spectacle Culture and shed our names like ducks shed water. Without your music as a guide, we are self-blind: oscillating between weird loners and terrified daughters-of-Dracula. -- Getting Jade back into the fold is a spiritual test for everyone. If passed, your band will go beyond the deserts, shores and mountains to hail the birth of a new kind of music; to taste the fruits of hard-won wisdom; to celebrate the retreat of tyrants and demons; to cast away superstition and hatred; to explore the incredible, baroque possibilities of the mind; and to usher in the arrival of a New Golden Age.
I saw them perform at The Lyric in Oxford, MS last week. For those 2 hours, that was easily the happiest place on Earth. If you haven't seen them... do it.
Just saw them tonight in DC and they are definitely tapped into the groove of life. Please support this band because this world needs some more real music.
So many people on stage and so simply good music! I marvel how the have joined together! Such a harmonic effect! and you need no drugs if you let yourself free thats what they do

They're definitely on drugs, but I love these MFers. You ever listen to Dr Dog?

We need more bands like this who don't try to be cool. I have so much respect for bands who invest their emotions in their music. It just makes the performances so much better! It's beautiful!! I love this band!
Jam on my Brothers and Sisters! The Earth loves your beautiful souls!

They sound amazing live I hope I will get to see them live in my lifetime. They have so much energy and just want to have fun its awesome to see that on stage it makes it about the music not the money!
Stuck in trafic with this song is a wonderful energetic moment....
I love the way they move whenever music starts playing
Going to see these guys on Sunday in a CHURCH in Philly! I am soooo pumped! If you don't know about Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros....then shame on you!
I was there. In the front row. At one point his sweat fell on me. I haven't bathed since. In other words just a typical hippie.
Cool, was the whole crowd dancing like him, I really hope they were.
We didn’t ask
❤ 13 years later, still as good as the first time I heard this song .. these guys rock.
I love how they're all energetic and all over the place and ohhh I just love this so much
Can't get enough of this 40 day dream.
This live performance is so good it could be a studio version. Damn! Really epic how he goes into the song and makes it his own in a new different way, compared to the album!

Oh how I wish I were there. I desperately want to dance and sing with them
This is how music should affect us. Beautiful!
Whose listening 2021.
2024
on my very saddest of days i shall listen to you all to break me of those binds of sadness.
You need to do this song in a one hour replay format. Too good to play one time.
Right mouse click on the clip, choose Loop. Done.
Thanks thought it was just me. This song i could see being played at a sock hop. Definitely a '50's vibe for this song. The composure and sound. very eclectic range on the album. AWesssome band.!!!!
Coisa boa, me passa uma energia positiva.
I love the freedom they show.
This is always my high song...
Me too
How can you dislike this? It"s pure ridiculous awesomeness!
Essa música me faz tão bem...
i have so much time for these guys
This is Pennsylvania's top band. I'm glad I live here so that I can say that we all are the hippies of the country. The best of vibes run out of this song.
If you think Pennsylvania is where the hippies are I suggest you spend some time in Oregon or Colorado..
Yeah...and also swing by California! Haha! Hippies originate on the West Coast. LOL! I moved from California to Pennsylvania recently (born and raised in Cali) and I'm here to tell you that I stand out a bit here...not a whole lot of kindred hippie spirits here. But they are multiplying!! Haha!
I love listening to them it’s so healing and freeing ❤️
I remember falling in love with this
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Fantastic energy!
They are so fucking cool !! Like not giving a single fuck, doing what the fuck they want whenever they want...
I LOVE THEM! THEY CHANGE MY LIFE NO MATTER HOW I FEEL AT THE TIME... I LOVE THEM!!!
oh God rock me slowly spin me fast..if music don't touch your soul your simply asleep and need to be woke up to a musical enriched life..
Shoutout for 2021.

Its one of those songs that sticks right off the bat
I’ve never seen Jesus Christ having so much fun
To anyone from Newcastle NSW reading this: THIS is what Mousemoon could have been, this is what Mojo Juju should have been.
Bringing the joy.
I LOVE YOU MUSIC 4O DAY DREAM
The style makes my soul smile. Take societies chains off and sing/dance how you feel.
I love this song even though in my head 'tour' is always supposed to follow 'magical mystery'
doorknob eyes, kaleidoscope eyes...
I just can't stop smiling!
You can hear me screaming "louder" at 2:56 as well.
That was you? lol you think that made him scream louder? I wish I was there
Hi. I´m from Mendoza, Argentina. The day I listened to this song on a local radio I could not listen to the name of the band... and I went crazy!!!!!
These guys are simply amazing... here we don´t have music like this.
They are really magnetic!!!!!!
River of Love is another grate song!!!!!!
It always makes me laugh when I hear that person at 2:56 who yells out "SING LOUDER"!! Hahaha. She sounds like she is angry!
One of the best songs in the history of songs.
Dig it..

D R U G S S O. M A N Y D R U G S
can't discribe that feeling whenever i hear that song.. endless happiness i think
Who says herion isn't cool. These guys are amazing.
heroin isn't cool. music is awesome though!
Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros are the magical mystery kind.
What drugs is this guy on?
A great song, but the way he is moving around, he has to be wicked stoned
Lol he gave up drugs long ago. In fact, he formed this band after getting out of rehab. But omg. Alex is the most energetic person I've ever seen!!! :D

James Thompson none. He gave them up BEFORE he got famous. He's why I got sober
I also was a live witness at the first RR tour stop in Oakland. WOW!! What a great show. Everyone on the ticket LOVES music, that is obvious, and the free spirit of Alex and his band was truly inspirational!! I took my Daughter for her 16th BDay, and I will never forget this show!

Just such beautiful and happy music.
Kilka miesięcy temu powiedziałam sobie "to będzie na moim weselu, albo co najmniej poprawinach" - zdania nie zmieniam ❤
this is what the world needed. someone that is happy and enjoys to make others feel as they do.
I have had this song stuck in my head for 40 days.
Such great energy!
I'm __ years old and I like this music, isn't that special?
I listen daily. Love this!
love to see a guy having that much fun on stage...makes it that much more enjoyable!
Simply lovely.
I saw them perform at The Lyric in Oxford, MS last week. For those 2 hours, that was easily the happiest place on Earth. If you haven't seen them... do it.

So many people on stage and so simply good music! I marvel how the have joined together! Such a harmonic effect! and you need no drugs if you let yourself free thats what they do
this is the most awesome band live!! saw them live at the entry in minneapolis one of my favorite shows of the summer
Saw these guys last night they sang with Mumford and sons, was one of the best things I have ever witnessed :D
This song is always stuck in my head.
I have shared it many many times the last two years :-) Have seen the band live three times now and they are the best band in the world :-)
I love them, I listen to this song again and again.
They make me happy
