Top Comments of this video!! :3
When I was a little girl, I knew this boy who lived next door. He had cancer, and a few weeks before he died, I remember he was playing this song at a campfire with his family and some other neighbors, because we knew that he was going to pass. Now all these years later, I have met a guy and he kind of reminds me of this boy. So when we got to know each other more, I played this song for him. I like to believe that the little boy that I knew those years ago can live on through this song, with someone that I love today.

I left a comment a couple years ago about falling more in love with my wife from infertility strugglesā¦her being sick and fighting through..,I was so amazedā¦ well we finally made it, and sheās a wonderful mother. This song brings me back through that struggle, so if you are there, keep fighting. Iām praying for you

The message here:
Next time you're thinking of doing random stuff like talking to a new person/stranger or doing something that you wouldn't usually do, DON'T THINK TWICE
Don't be afraid or shy to do anything, DON'T LOSE OPORTUNITIES
That action could open the door to great experiences
So BE FUCKING SPONTANEOUS
Be the one who goes and do things..life's passing you by, grab it in your hands babyyy
A message to myself too

It's been a few months since I recovered from depression and I remember that when I was sick, this song, but especially this video, was what brought me joy in the darkest days. I fantasized about replicating the brave experience of the two protagonists without unfortunately having the strength to do so.
Today I think I'm capable of enjoying such an experience.
This video has been and always will be my guiding star in reminding me of who I am and who I want to be.
thank you very much the lumineers

Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
I was not born to drown
Baby, come on
Forget what Father Brennan said
We were not born in sin
Leave a note on your bed
Let your mother know you're safe
And by the time she wakes
We'll have driven through the state
We'll have driven through the night
Baby, come on
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you rail against the dying day?
And when we looked outside
Couldn't even see the sky
How do you pay the rent?
Is it your parents?
Or is hard work, dear
Holding the atmosphere?
I don't wanna live like that, yeah
If the sun don't shine on me today
If the subways flood and the bridges break
Jesus Christ can't save me tonight
Put on your dress, yes, wear something nice
Decide on me, yeah, decide on us
Oh, oh, oh, Illinois, Illinois
Pack yourself a toothbrush, dear
Pack yourself a favorite blouse
Take a withdrawal slip
Take all of your savings out
'Cause if we don't leave this town
We might never make it out
