The video is pretty cool i like the darkness of the video. i dont get why its in the woods but the best part of the video is when they have love faith etc carved in the tree. Think its one of their best so far. I am kind of curious to why john made the video the way he did.The little boy in it is really cute though kind of looks like a younger version of john when he was a kid, the end was the best when john is looking at that little boy maybe its a shows a look into his past.

I think it is supposed to be a younger version of him and he's a lost orphaned child who has no where to go. Cry But overall it's fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really loved the video, its very similar to lazy eye in my opinion. I think the darkness of the video really works well, one of their best

Well, I like it.
I've been going through some stuff lately, so the lyrics of the song touched my heart.
And I like the music.  
I think the kids kind of show that the youth hold the key to bringing about change in our world, if we will nurture them with love and kindness.  
And even though it is sort of a dark video, there are shards of light that shine through, which demonstrate the "hope," if we have "faith," and "love," and will live in "truth."  
 
Thanks GOOS!  I love you guys!

Anyone notice there are a lot of close-ups of Mike in this video? That's pretty cool.
 
But...only one close-up of Robby. Shame on you, Mister Director.  :tantrum:

I have always preferred the videos like this that were less conceptual and more band centered.  I just love watching the band play and the dark backdrop is great.  I love that we get to see more of Mike & Robby.  How CUTE is that little boy?!  Adorable.  Video definitely fits the song.  YAY!  So glad I got to see it and can't wait to see it on the big screen (TV not 17 inch computer screen).

I'm problem the only one who differs here....for me it was one of those vids that you watch...you get to the end...and you're not sure whether you like it or not.

I agree!  That was the first thing I thought after it was over...then I was like, um, I don't know how I feel about the video.  Its really dark, but pretty at the same time...
 
I thought John looked kind of awkward when he was playing and singing the chorus the first time or two.  Anyone else?
 
But its great to see the new video!  Yay!  Smiley  Can't wait for the new album.

Don't get me wrong... I love this song.  But I think the video is too dark for the lyrics.  The song is hopeful and should inspire people to reach out... I keep thinking about those poor little kids who seem lost in the forest (you can tell I'm a mom).  Especially if this is supposed to be a christmas song...
 
On the other hand, any video of the goos is good video.
