No, we didn’t think Cease To Begin was the greatest album of all time, but it definitely has plenty of beauty tucked in that underwhelming shell, including the first single “Is There A Ghost” and the lovely, sentimental, emotionally drenched, Chuck-beloved “No One’s Gonna Love You.” We think you’re gonna love this Jarrod Tallman-directed video, too, which finds the guys on the road, armed with close friendships, fine dance moves, wet suits, beards, and, of course, an army of stunt bottles.
That’s some touching brotherly love. We forgot to mention, too, that like all touring bands, they also own a Clapper. Here’s a copy of the song that comes breakaway glass-free:

I love this band. We need a new album already.
Wow. I love this song, but what a random and stupid video.
Is it just me or do the vocals sound very similar to my morning jacket?
oh yeah – I hear it.
no, it’s not just you, it’s every fucking music critic in the world.
ben bridwell = jim james / (“a young”) wayne coyne.
LOL, my parent’s house makes it into the video, when they are riding their bikes. I sent to my dad, this is hilarious.
Great song, yet the best song is “Detlef Schrempf”.
A song called “Shawn Kemp” just wouldn’t be the same.
I’m glad you guys finally admitted to LIKING this album! And yeah, we need a new one already.
BoH is no big deal. comparing them to MMJ is insulting. saw them this past winter and they bored. me. to. tears.
My favorite band, ever. Love the beach scenes in the video, south carolina represent haha.
Song = roxxors.
Vid = suxxors.
Sounds a lot like Sparklehorse, if the lead singer sang through a fuzzbox.
Are you kidding? This video RULES! Its the most sarcastic love story of a band on the road. Hahaha! I actually think its quite hilarious and casually entertaining. Loving the concert footage and the fact that you get a behind the scenes glimpse into what its like to be on the road. Assuming that a group of polar opposite artists come up with some “random” and “stupid” acts of love!
