    thanks for the link

    Don't know if you were being humorous- but becoming commercially successful- on your own terms is not being a "sell out".

    I agree he is spending a lot of time in CA and becoming more "mainstream", but it is also that the mainstream is becoming more "alternative".

    But love the CD- I listen to it every day.

    Yeah...I think Ed has been "hanging around Hollywood" much more than we think and longer than we think, but so what - and why should that even matter...it's his life...(and that sounds really nasty, which is NOT my intention).

    The video is great - a lovely piece of art...and I think the movie is at the forefront because this was done to generate a little more Oscar buzz, was it not...a way for Ed to help out Sean Penn in terms of winning some more hardware...Anyway, awesome song, great vid...

    "To me, Eddie is the most compelling musical artist of our generation," explains Rocco. "His songwriting pounds you on a visceral level and his storytelling always stands apart in the same way a great film does - each time you hear his words, they engender a different experience in your heart, soul and mind."

    Great to get the music out there, but the video was weak. To me the best video they've done is DTE. totally interpretive--such a better way to enhance a song.

    Cool video, do you think it would have been better if the frames were live action of clips of the film, or would it be too distracting which is why they went with still images?

    Oh and VH1 sucks for only having country (USA) specific playable videos! What a crock...this is the internet, why have restrictions on who can watch a video..it's BS..this isn't DVD where consumers must follow a Region Code. Ridiculous!

    They are already advertising the INTO THE WILD DVD on Amazon to pre-order but do you think it's too late for them to put the video on the dvd, I hope they do!

    I also hope they put the Charlie Rose interview on the 2-Disc DVD as well!

    I enjoyed it! Very simple and understated. Perfect!

    I don't like live action clip movie videos AT ALL. They had several on this morning and the clips take you right out of the song. A clip cannot convey the essense of the film. But music, handled this way, can.

    I really like this. Even on squinty you tube.

    Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.

    Tell them.

    Sorry if im repeating something that has already been discussed but this is a long thread and i dont have time to read over everything . . . .

    can anyone explain why the first slide in the video says "eddie/guaranteed/monkey" - what is the deal with the last part - is it something to do with where the video was recorded?

    I am thinking monkey is in reference to Monkeywrench.

    I'm kinda getting the impression that maybe the video is a necessity when you're nominated for an award? Cos it's such a subtle video that it seems like the idea was 'well we NEED a video so lets just do this'. I thought it would have more images from the movie. I'm not overly blown away to be honest... it's just a video, nothing special about it.
