Jun 25, 2011 - I wouldn't call this perfect, but this is really close to it.The whole album is terrific.

Jul 13, 2011 - Absolutely brilliant song and video combination. The video beautifully and bitterly captures the imagery of the lyrics. I rank this one right up there with Radiohead's "There There". The Walkmen are a great band. Great music. Great lyrics. Great moods & visions. "The Blue Route" and "I Lost You" have no equal in weight. They don't get enough airplay and they should be head lining concert venues instead of playing 2nd fiddle to lesser bands like Fleet Foxes.

Aug 28, 2011 - i am a new media major about to do a senior project, working with after effects/maya. would like to figure out who made this video. it is well done. there is much to speak of the cinematography. that's what really makes the video. people who have never dealt w animating have no idea how much work goes into every last detail. love this band - seen them live many-a-time. love animation. if you love this, might like this one too:

Jan 7, 2012 - I genuinely wish this song went on for 10 minutes. I'm always disappointed when it finishes... but then again i always manage to find the replay button :)

Jan 8, 2012 - Have to agree with others here: I've rarely felt/seen such a perfect video/music combination as this and I've seen a *lot* of music videos since I was a teen in the 80s. I feel like a teen again just watching this video & falling in love with the song over & over. The way it builds to that beautiful intensity and just funny things like Leithausers "haiiiow" yell at 1:17. The lyrics are understated and thus work as good poetry, but this only came to my attention *because* of the great vid.

SkirtSoPlain Says:
Jan 18, 2012 - Can anyone tell me whether the band officially released this or whether a fan made it? Thanks. Either way it's great; just wondering.
SkirtSoPlain Says:
Jan 18, 2012 - In my opinion, the only way someone could have disliked this song and video is because it tells so much truth that it hurt.
