Mayer Hawthorne - The Ills Lyrics

I always thought this was the original video. Excellent!

Fantastic

Love the video. Great job!

This song just makes me feel so damn good.

Has to be one of my most listened songs this decade (came out 09)

Thanks gameone

Jodi Gilar Mr Brown is a clown

You did a really great job on this, man. Mayer should thank you. :)

great video! neatly done!

Bought the album a couple of years ago......fantastic. And 'The Ills'.....what a tune. Been spreading the word here in Belfast and beyond. Hat off to Curtis and and all that.
Pedal on!
PS- When are you coming over to Ireland to play?

Fantastic Tune!

You NAILED IT !!!!!

Had no idea how crazy the 70's were. Makes me count my blessings :p

Great video for a great song.

great job, I love how you tie everything together. pure talent.

Holland-Dozier-Mayfield!

Good job Mr. McPants.

great job! I love this video

Esta es La canción para levantarse hoy.

I assumed it was an official video until I read the description. Great job, like everyone else has said lol, the only fan video that has fooled me into thinking it was official.

My girl(ex) put a brick through my windshield busted my lip, broke my phone. I live(am stuck) in the middle of no where. But this song makes it ok.... thanks mayer

Makes me feel like im in CHURCH !!! Yyayayaaaa AMEN!!

Dope video and song

I don't know what's better...the music or the video. Right on! Great editing and makes Mayer quintessentially more cool!

This should be the Official video! Been watching this since the album came out, still love it!

Even if the video is so short it is still stunning !!

ooooww damn shut up, one of the best fan video ever, u got it perfectly.

Great creation, you captured the pace of the song awesomely.

made a new playlist just this song forty times in row

What a totally SUPERB job of a video! Well done, it's brilliant!

Your video interpretation is pure genius, the ending adds the perfect touch. Cheers to your long and illustrious career my friend.

Love This Songgg !!! How Dare You Hit That Ugly Dislike Button !!! UGGH

@PawelKosinsky I don't know how this is possible, but i was just listening to curtis jacksons move on up before this song, and your comment just gave me an incredible "omg-moment"....

thx for that.

this song makes me happy. but i reallly like this video..

amazing editing man thats ridiculous. i thought this was their own video for the song

just watched them at Lollapalooza and they rocked this song...i had to come check it out

@AntsMcPants Wow this is a fantastic video you have some talent. I literally thought this was the official one until I read your comment. You should send this to them somehow they may want to use it!

Great job on the video, goes perfect with the song!

I knew the solo drumbreak was from Curtis' "Move on Up" and the ending proved me right!

2:45=beauty

Really nice work... makes me tired just thinking about all the work you put into this!

Just like everyone said, outstanding work you did there to an outstanding song. Great to break on!

Sick job dude! very nice!

@TippmanFaith me too :))))

this is awesome, i thought it was the original music video for it until i read the description. it'd be awesome if you listed all the scenes and clips you used in the vid. haha

This should definetly be the official video to this song!!

chords? :)

TIIIIIP TOOOOP !!!!

@pabloar I fully concur with you, good sir!

YOU ARE HEREBY PRESENTED WITH THE PABLOAR/DORKWIN AWARD FOR YOUTUBE PRESTIGE AND HONOUR. ONE FREE CYBER HI-FIVE.

Just threw it together?! Wow, I was totally thinking how great of videos he had. He should make this official! Great job, and thanks for posting such a great song!

Nice video man. Mayer Hawthorne's the only guy doing this sound these days, and fuck me is he good at it! Big up DJ Haircut!

Incredible video. Stones Throw is doing a contest right now to create a music video to any song in their catalog. You should enter this. I'm going to be putting together a video for the contest and I was going through some of the songs I liked from the label to see if they already had a video for them. That's how I stumbled across your video. So even though it's probably not in my best interest to tell you since i'm entering as well I just had to because the video is spot on with the song.

This is actually a really good video and sorta goes with the song well!

WOW dude! this has become by current favorite song as of late, just checked this out, and I'd have to say, I can't even imagine a better video being made for this song. damn impressive. pat yourself on the back brotha

Should've been released in 72,would've been massive.Jesus,there is just so much great music about now,but it never gets played on the radio,so people my age(47)think that modern music is crap! Great video too,thanks

First heard this just bafew weeks ago on Huey's (Fun Lovin Criminal) BBC radio 6 show. Loved it at first hearing. Who is this I thought to myself?....Curtis Mayfield?
Superb stuff. White man got soul!

Exceptional, both song and video. Thanks for this...

This is the most "official" music video i have ever laid eyes on

all this time, i thought this was the official video. you did a wonderful job. keep it up.

@AntsMcPants Yeah it seems a bit quiet on my lap top too. Awesome vid!!! :) thanks for posting!

@fatherjon908 move on up curtis mayfield :)

great song, i like the video you put together, especially around the break and the break out. only criticism i have is although the retro clips were cool, keep in mind where the band is coming from, like culturally, you got most of it but a couple contemporary kick flips would have balenced the 60's vibe out nicely. but great work!

what's that thing 0:35

dude tripp out you edited this really well awesome video keep it up

dude tripp out you edited this really well awesome video keep it up

@AntsMcPants AND A BIG UP FOR THAT ;o)

@AntsMcPants. Great work with video. You should get in touch with Stones Throw. I'm trying to track down a 7" copy of this. KTF

@fatherjon908 Move on Up Curtis Mayfield.

Great job!

MAYER HAWTHORNE: if you are reading this, make it your official video!!!

@fatherjon908 curtis mayfield - move on up

Great JOB on the video. Damn you are mad talented!

this video is amazing. an official one could not be better.

Superb!

@fatherjon908 Move on up - Curtis Mayfield

Incredible video does full justice to the song. Both make you think. Hope somebody starts paying you for your work.

I AGREE SO MUCH WITH deliciousaloysius COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!
