Little late to this conversation but as a woman almost 50, fighting cancer, with all of life's lessons (self taught and by others) glaring back at me: I applaud the sincere approach to waking humans to connection. The best way to do so is by sharing our stories. And really listening. How I relate to Cleo! Thank you Lumineers. Ps- we need you as Social Workers now more than ever. More to my story...

One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard no joke, the story behind it just makes it even more powerful

You guys created a masterpiece.

I waited for this for ages. I tried to make a thousand theories but none of them linked. Love you guys

Dear sir, I want to personally thank you for creating these songs. I listened to them before my mother died and even now after she died due to colon cancer. It is always said that music reaches a place in our hearts that normal words cannot. Listening to these songs and reflecting on their meaning helps me to express my emotions. Take care and stay safe!

I'm honestly shocked that he mentioned my country (republic of Georgia🇬🇪) I have been listening to Lumineers for 7 months now and I cant even express how they had me to manage my own problems and obstecles, ups and downs. First time I've listened to their music was When I came along with Sleep On The Floor, and it had very big impact on me, because of how they expressed everything that has been going through my mind that time, adventures etc. When he mentioned Georgia I had goosebumps all over my body, I will take that as a sign

Wesley: "Cleopatra" has been one of my favourite songs of the past year, and one of my favourite music videos. The Director of that video, and the actress playing 'Cleopatra' did a magnificent job of wrapping your song in a visual dream sequence. Many thanks for telling the story.

@TheTwilightShadow69

Fully agreed (although perhaps not on Cleopatra being my favorite; I can't really pick, they're all great! Ophelia was originally my favorite, then Cleopatra, and now I'm obsessed with Sleep On The Floor). Indeed, the Director(s?), writers, cinematographers, actors, etc, all did really well with this series, and I feel like they captured the story beautifully. I liked the actress who played "Cleopatra" so much that I had to look her up, just to see if she's been in anything else. Such a beautiful and talented woman, and her eyes are so interesting! Great casting choice.

Have you watched "the ballad of Cleopatra"? Pretty much a short film comprised of 5 songs/videos.

Sobbing because Cleopatra is such a great song with such a heartbreaking story

I like how Jer and Wes don't just write about themselves, it's other experiences of other people. This is what music is. You don't find a lot of it nowadays. Most songs aren't about much and don't tell a story, Lumineers always tell a great meaningful story in about 3 minutes. I love you guys and thank you.

My ex love and situationship played the Sleep on the floor and Cleopatra music videos for me on the very first night we met, on a road trip back home from a place we met outside the city. She was explaining to me the meaning beyond the music videos. Never knew how she got them. Now I know. These 2 songs will always stick with me for the rest of my life. We were never truly a concrete thing, but no one has ever rocked my world that way.

please don't ever change. the world needs artists like you.

it's almost 3 a.m. and I have fallen in love with this. Something drew me to the song on my recommended to i listened to it and the lyrics and the video really hit me. and then this video popped up and i was completely invested in what he was saying. It was so devastating to hear this woman's story but it also reminds me, as a young person, not to dwell on plans or the way things are "supposed to go". I also think he's 100% right about stories. My entire life, I've been inspired and moved by other people's stories, and the sooner we realize that stories are a universal language, the sooner we can all stop having so many communication problems. I love this.

who knew one little story could be so powerful and mean so much. The lumineers are truly artists.

This is why i love this song. I was so enthusiastic about creating my own life, my own family, achieving all my dreams, and it seems like I'm late for everything. But, at the same time, the song motivates me to change how i see things and to appreciate this life as it is. Thanks for an awesome song

Is it weird that I enjoy listening to this story so much? I listen to it a couple of times per day... I didn't think this album could get any better, but it just did.

The only gifts from my Lord were a birth and a divorce But I've read this script and the costume fits so I'll play my part *cue chill bumps*

My favorite song of all times, I can’t stop listening to it…i think this music was made for me😢…Thank you Wesley, Jeremiah , Simone, Neyla and everyone of your team who made this possible , i love you soo much🥺❤️…

One of the reasons why I love your music is your ability to tell stories, keep up the good work!

This is why I'll make my children and my girlfriend and my wife listen to this song. Loads of love man!

And now we need the story of Angela and Ophelia. Thanks so much guys you're my favorite band.

I love it that the music gets more vibrant as the song goes by and really reaches a peak during her time on the nursing house. I love how much it values just having a tranquil old age and being able to remember how grand you were able to feel while young.

Music that tells stories as deep as this one is something that we need to cherish. Amazing album.

I will never forgive myself for missing your concert here in Brazil-SaoPaulo last Sunday!! :( I am really sad about it. You guys are geniuses!!! Listening to your music is like healing the spirit!! Thank you very much for this masterpiece (Ballad of Cleopatra). I hope you guys come back soon to South America.

When i listen that monology, i cant believe she was real, the love with her man was real and she let go her man, i cry when i hear her story

Their songs can make you imagine things that you would not do if you were not listening to them. This band is unique and most of all they sound unique.

This was beautifully said and the story really moved me. Love this band so much for making real music!

I'm truely in love with all these musics and story. Cleopatra realy did made me think for these two years.

You guys were amazing at the Opera House, best birthday present I could ask for xx My whole family enjoyed it, we were in the last row but it was still wonderful, my Dad didn't sit down for the whole concert, thank you for an awesome night!!! Hope you all enjoyed yourselves

Acá les dejo traducido lo que Wes dijo: "La mejor amiga de mi esposa es de la República de Georgia y a través de esta amiga descubro estas historias sobre esta taxista, ella es probablemente la única taxista, ¡mujer taxista! en esa área y es una clase de mujer endurecida por la forma en la que lleva su vida. Ella es fuerte, es resistente, y a temprana edad se enamora y empieza a pensar que se va a casar con este tipo y al mismo tiempo en que su padre falleció de forma inesperada, así que está de luto por la pérdida de su padre y en medio de todo esto, en un mal momento, su novio le pide que se casen y ella no le da una respuesta a él porque simplemente está de luto por la pérdida de su padre. Después de ser rechazado, ya sabes, de esta propuesta de matrimonio, también él se va y nunca. . . nunca regresa y ella se da cuenta de que la atraen estas huellas de barro en el suelo, en su alfombra, y se niega a lavar cualquiera de ellas. Y me interesó realmente la historia, me imagino el por qué ella las conserva, si yo fuera ella por qué las mantendría en esa estado. Cada verso es una especie de época en su vida y comienza como una mujer joven y optimista que se va a casar y su vida va a ser increíble y una especie de. . . que evoluciona y desevoluciona. El nombre Cleopatra es importante, creo que es por eso que se convirtió en el tema principal del álbum, es una clase de (canción) que encarna esta idea más de lo que es. . . este no es el nombre de una persona, esta es la idea de que cuando éramos jóvenes nos sentimos, muchos de nosotros creo, que estábamos destinados a algo más grande que nuestro pequeño pueblo o destinados a la grandeza o algo así. Para esta persona que terminó sintiéndose como “que está tarde para esto, tarde para aquello, tarde para el amor, tarde para la vida”, ya sabes, y luego va a morir sola, pienso que ella comienza del mismo modo que todos comenzamos, que es sintiéndonos de esa forma en la que aquello no va según al plan. Cuando hablé con ella me dijo: “sabes que los dos mejores días de mi vida fueron cuando conseguí mi divorcio y cuando tuve mi único hijo y es lo opuesto a lo que casi cualquiera me dijo sobre la vida, y se sintió alentador confrontar lo que realmente es tu vida” fue muy raro de oír y ver y creo que esto es una gran parte de la canción. Para mí el gran objetivo fue honrar esto. Los últimos versos toman la idea de que ella está caminando ... en mi cabeza ella está caminando en un asilo de ancianos, diciéndole a una enfermera lo maravillosa que fue como persona, como mujer, que tuvo todos estos sueños, que era más alta que las vigas, que era fuerza, que es Cleopatra y me imagino una enfermera que dice algo como "Estoy segura de que lo eras", sabes "Estoy segura de que lo eras" porque la generación más joven siempre son muy al tipo de “nos miramos a nosotros mismos y creemos que todos los demás están más o menos locos”. Creo que la mejor manera de aprender unos de otros y de hecho estar abiertos al cambio es a través de contar historias, no es el argumento, no son las estadísticas, contar historias es sobre ... se trata de personajes y eso es el personaje de Cleopatra, a lo que voy, estás tratando de contar su historia a través de estos versos."

I'm so glad I watched this video and so glad I found this band and shared the concert experience with my daughter in Mansfield this June

WOW Lumineers is such an awesome band ! Great job !

I'm so happy I found you. This song played on the Buzz station on the radio while I was at the gym, and it just.. _touched_ me, right then and there. I instantly needed more. The story behind this beautiful song should be the archetype of lyricism. It pains me to think that music hardly ever takes that approach anymore. I have a monumental amount of respect to you for creating this masterpiece in the face of what is essentially the adversity of symbolism.

Goosebumps and tears in my eyes! This gives the song a real meaning and another reason to listen to it!

Their music is like the sun peaking through the clouds after a rain storm. ❤️

Thank you for explaining the meaning! I love that whole album and you guys are AMAZING!!!! ❤❤❤❤

We need more music like this, that tells a story that's deep! ❤️✨

The amount of how much I love this album has just doubled! 😍❤

The song never fails to make me emotional, and this just adds to that. Beautiful song.

Simply beautiful...thank you for this story

After some time I always come back to this video cause this is one of my favourite albums and songs. This story really amazes me, even watching it now I realised that she did become something special but not in the way she thought. Her story ended up being something people are doing to hear for a very long time and cry to and sing to and listen to

Thank you! A million thanks for this :) I love that you tell stories of real people - this is one of my favorite songs.

I'm here after watching their new making of videos and I just want to say I am SO proud to be a fan of them... I knew them (deeply, disregarding the time I knew Ho Hey) through the Cleopatra album and now they released III and it's the most awesome thing I have ever heard. I hope they keep up telling stories like this on the next albums, just like Cleopatra deserved and the Sparks deserve - even though they are not actually real because their story is very common out there.

the Lumineers ladies and gentlemen. true talent.

Thank you so much for this story,thank you for the songs and thank you for the video clips !

This is such a great album!! And to know that this is inspired from an actual story is even more amazing!

I waited for this for so long, and I think this is simply beautiful... x2

I love you guys so much!!! I love this album with all my heart.. you are all so talented!!! This is just wonderful and beautiful

One of the most amazing music album with a brilliant storyline. The songs were amazing on their own but the story is just cherry on top. Hats off to Lumineers

Music should touch people, and I've rarely felt so deeply touched...Thank you The Lumineers, for encouraging us to find and tell our stories

Cheers from Brazil! Love you guys.

i came here because i want to remember that you are always freaking amazing year by year! i love the cleopatra story. also I love the gloria sparks story. Dude, i thought youre going better after you’ve published several songs of the new album but... You are always in max!

This is so so beautiful! Now I love this album even more 😍😍😍

Can't believe I am listening this now, after playing Cleopatra songs on and on, non-stop for weeks! I've got goosebumps!.. A story of a lady from my country inspired The Lumineers! Wesley, Please, come to 🇬🇪 !

This is so beautiful. I really needed this today.

The Lumineers are something else, they are something real.

As always Lumineers you guys always make something real, your music always depicted the way world going on and as for this one I believe that you guys wanna open everyone eyes that compare to what everybody have, this woman life is even more sad but she keeps getting on and carry on. Thanks for the lesson and the music, I feel sad but blooming inside because of this song and somehow this it always makes me wanna cry because of hearing it. Keep making a good song THE LUMINEERS, LOVE YOU SO MUCH

thats the reason why i love so much this band, they´re making real music♥

This is why i love them! i wish you guys have a tour here in Philippines. ☹️

The story of cleopatra it's simply amazing I've never seen music videos that we're so beautiful yet so heart breaking I love cause the lumineers are so different there songs are like movies but so many of us can relate to it.

Solo puedo dar las gracias por esta obra de arte. Cleopatra es lo mejor que he escuchado, me ha llegado al alma y ahí se quedará por siempre. Gracias The Lumineers

thanks for everything, wonderful

This song, i never finished !! everytime it reminds me of something worth remembered. You owe me anything in life just because you just told the truth !!

So rare it is that these days songs have depth, have meaning, have a purpose. This has the meaning and story of someone's life, the purpose to tell her story to the world. This is my favourite song and has been from the moment I heard it, even without the commentary. I knew from the lyrics that this held a story, and now we know the story behind the music I think it's that much more inspirational to other artists that songs don't have to just be about going to the club and getting 'bitches'. This whole album was something so incredible, and I can't wait to hear more from a group with so much potential.

This group is amazing.

Well all i can say is THANK YOU 💜 to "The Lumineers". Life matters doesn't matter whomsoever we are.

Loving the album more because of the story behind the music! ❤️

kudos sir to your music ,the way you make a fusion between a song a soul and the nicest story I ever heard of till now , featuring a brave woman who faced so much odds still she won at last

This makes me love their album even more!

I thought I would never know this. Thankyou for this

The art of story-telling in music is what makes it worth it. Don't let it die.

Thank you for telling us this wonderful story

I have tears in my eyes now. I would love to visit that real woman and give her a huge hug and a kiss on her cheeck! It's impossible not to cry with such musical video of Cleopatra!

I like how the story matches certain points of the song. At the end when he speaks of her in the nursing home, its at the same point in the song where he says " its a bed and a bathroom, and a place for the end". This was very well put together.

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

How do I become so so so much related to those words. What a beautiful album!

love the concept so much! thank you for that
