Lumineers, The - My Cell Lyrics
Fallin' in love is wonderful
Fallin' in love and so alone
My cell, my pretty little cell
Painted windows, so I can see
Fallin' in line is wonderful
Fallin' in love and so alone
My cell, my pretty little cell
Painted windows, so I see
Painted windows, all for me
My cell, my pretty little cell
My cell, my pretty little cell
My cell, my pretty little cell
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

I hope to never own a dog that will watch my A$$ get whooped.

This album will be on the pedestal of the greatest albums of all time. Such a shame that it might not be anytime soon, as most people don't realise the artistic value of this masterpiece.
👍 from Russia
I watched this in class💀
All alone
my fav song in this album
SHRIMP TITTIEZ
Best song hands down - fuck that one hit deep
Boobies.
Anyone from India or I'm the only one
Just wonderful!
Nice and video
GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS - THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY CREATED STORY I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A MUSIC ALBUM. DID I MENTION WORD GENIUS?
His vocals on this song give me goosebumps. This album is truly something special, and I think it might be their best so far.
I just realized since when can you show nudity on YouTube? That hasn’t always been allowed right?
this takes me back to your first album. thank you!!
Low key this might be the most underrated song on this album
Adam Tierney
I’m Floored by this series, it’s a stepping stone for to be artist to stay relevant and not get bored! Thanks dudes!
In the other videos, they talked about Jimmy being a prison guard. He gets his freedom locking other men in cells. I think the “cell” here refers to Jimmy being locked in his own metaphorical cage.
That's deep
Why is it age restricted?
YouTube allows boobs?
“My Cell” serves as an introduction to Jimmy Sparks, the son of the alcoholic Gloria and single father to Junior. He sits alone and contemplates his current situation. It appears this song is either during or just after his relationship with Bonnie, Junior’s mother, who eventually leaves him to start a new life in Denver.
The band’s website provides a short description of the song:
“My Cell,” the first song in Chapter Three, finds Jimmy alone with his problems in his trailer, with its primitive painted landscapes standing in for actual windows.
Okay so i originally thought this vid was before leader of the landslide because of the dog showing up but im thinking the dog isnt really there and jimmy is imagining it thinking of it and junior
I've always said heels are cruel weapons.
holy fuck my chin was on the floor for the entire clip
Very influential and love these guyz to death.
Falling in love is wonderful
Falling in love is so alone
My cell
My pretty little cell
Painted windows there for me
Painted windows so I can see
Falling in love is wonderful
Falling in love is so alone
My cell
My pretty little cell
Painted windows so I see
Painted windows are for me
My cell
My pretty little cell
My cell
My pretty little cell
My cell
My pretty little cell
My cell
My pretty little cell
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
The videos make the songs x50 times better
Check out their video talking about the making of this song. Really interesting to hear the way it came to be.
I can't get this one out of my head. Just captures what its like to live these days.
I'm a little late but if Jimmy is Gloria's son what happened to his father?
His father probably either died in the crash or died later on.
@KYN Fortune Oh thank you, I thought we would get to see his perspective but guess not
Her look is creepy 😫
Check out my choreography to Sleep on the Floor!

The Song and these incredible cinematic visuals...new level of creativity.Thank you for that!
am i the only one a bit sad when watching this masterpiece after the 1st time knowing that she doesn’t truly love him 🥺
so wait with all of these theories how does gloria fit in again like what's the lineage and relation between them all pls help I'm genuinely confused
*THEORIES AND EXPLANATIONS*
1. “Donna”
Frank (died 1954) and Donna (died 1979) are Gloria’s parents. In the MV, Donna and Frank is building the House of Sparks. Gloria is haunted by her past, as we can see when she looks at the picture of her parents, in the ‘Gloria’ MV. This is maybe why she’s drinking a lot. Gloria doesn’t love her husband. Her life is so messed up that she “prays for a funeral, and sing it like hallelujah”. What I don’t understand is why she took her shirt off while shouting in the open air? Is she that angry with her parents?
2. “Life in the City”
Here, we see more of Gloria’s biggest regret. It was New Year’s eve. She did drugs, so she was high. She’s outside drinking in a Manhattan bar. She meets a random guy, had sex with him, and voila, she conceived Jimmy. Back in their house, Gloria sees her husband already sleeping. We see a note saying that her husband came to the hospital to see his sick mother. But the question is the line “And I miss my dad and Cleopatra sitting on a phone” and why is there a stanza from ‘Sleep on the Floor’? Is this story connected to the ballad of Cleopatra?
3. “Gloria”
The MV elaborates the dangers of being alcoholic — domestic violence, bad parenting. Gloria is being a bad mother while raising baby Jimmy. She’s stubborn. She always fights with his husband. However, it is clear that her husband loves her, and is very understanding. She hits her husband with a bottle of alcohol. This may be a symbol that her alcoholism make her lose people in her life, as she left her husband, wounded. But the lyrics say that Gloria doesn’t want to wake up after getting drunk. She wants to die. However, she came back running to their house for Jimmy.
4. “It Wasn’t Easy to be Happy For You”
Junior is having a teenage heartbreak. She’s smoking and she’s seeing a sexy blonde girl seducing him. It turns out in the end that he’s just hallucinating because he’s been smoking. It may be inferred that the girl is the only one making him happy in the messy life he’s living, as we see also in ‘Leader of the Landslide’ MV. However, given the circumstances, “it wasn’t easy to be happy”. The girl left Junior.
5. “Leader Of The Landslide”
Junior is unlike Jimmy. He hates Jimmy being an alcoholic. We can assume that Jimmy was physically abusing Junior, as we can see when Jimmy was about to hit Junior, Junior was throwing self defense martial arts. However, we saw a softer side of Jimmy at the start when they’re about to bury the dog who’s probably lived with them for a long time since that dog was there since the “Donna” MV. The dog was also probably a symbol of Junior’s Mother. When Junior was lying in bed, he saw vision of her mother. Later in “My Cell” MV, Jimmy also saw that same dog. Bonnie might be the one Junior is referring to as the leader of landslide. Before she left, they were all happy as seen in the flashbacks. When she left, it all fell apart.
6. “Left For Denver”
So Junior is sad and at the same time curious why her mother left. He hates her mother leaving him with her father. He ended up burning the piano/keyboard that Gloria was playing before. Her mother, Bonnie, probably played that piano a lot too. “What did you know that I didn’t?” While searching for answers, he found a gun in his father’s things. Did Jimmy kill Bonnie?
7. “My Cell”
In the start of video, Jimmy was having sex with the girl who entered his house at the latter part of ‘Leader of the Landslide’ MV. The shark entered the room hitting him hard. It turned out that the girl, Julie, is only after the wallet of Jimmy, probably for unpaid debt. While the girl is about to leave, Jimmy tried to stop the girl, which reminded him of his wife. Another woman left him helpless (First, Gloria, then Bonnie, then Julie). He also saw a vision of the dog.
8. “Jimmy Sparks”
The lyrics explains it all. Jimmy was a prison guard so he’s used to being a tough man. This can also be an irony because the ‘My Cell’ song talks about Jimmy being imprisoned by his emotions, by the past, or by his alcoholism. The lyrics explains how Jimmy was actually a good father while Junior grew up. He struggled raising Junior alone. He even gambled in bars to pay for Junior’s hospitalization. He incurred debt. Growing up, Jimmy advised Junior to not to let hitchers in the car because it’s “us or them”.
Later in life, after the ‘My Cell’ scene, it was 3am and Jimmy is wounded while walking alone in the road. That road again, where Gloria had an accident. “Now Jimmy's son is trying to make his way home, His graveyard shift had ended and it was starting to snow, He sees an old man walking barefoot alone, His old man waved his hands with tears in his eyes But Jimmy's son just sped up and remembered daddy's advice, No you don't ever give a hitcher a ride.”
This reminded me of the lyrics in ‘Donna’ — “You love to judge strangers' karma”
The consistency of these scenery are amazing. First in Gloria we see Gloria throwing that glass bottle towards her husband, then in “Left for Denver” Junior throwing the matches fire towards the piano, and lastly here the woman throwing Jimmy’s wallet. Amazing how three chapters are so different, yet still resemble each other in so many subtle ways.
Created a whole new account to watch this video.
such a beautiful song
These stories are so compelling and truly make you feel the longing for something good he/she or they desire real or not. The hole in this life sometimes just can't be filled, at least not with the speed and thoroughness we expect. Amazing work from the music to the actors and short stories being told in each video.
My favorite part is in the end when the song sings "all alone .." and for each time it repeats it flashes through moments in the family where a member is feeling alone ..
Generational lonliness .
It's like carrying a spirit of loniless through the generations.
That's what addiction does
Is she flat? Wow
Best SUMMER Ever
Jimmy seeing the dog we thought only Junior cared about... That wallet toss mimicking the whiskey toss from "Gloria".... Forget about the Grammys. Give these guys a freaking Oscar.
not to mention the view of the I.D we got from the tossing of the wallet that we also saw in juniors memory/item box
agreed. they deserve a lot more credit than they get.
They deserve all of the awards
woah ! this was intense , however I very much dig it !
Anyone else notice the bottle/wallet throwing parallel?
Algum brasileiro pra explicar todos esses clipes ?
How did she hit/stabbed him with her heel and he didnt die from it???
Só sei que eu amei :) aaaaaaaaa
this is more explicit than some episodes of Peaky Blinders. wow.
ayeee peaky blinders. taste.
Does anybody care about the doggie? Because I thought they burried him and also it wasn't shown in 'Jimmy Sparks'. So it may can be an illusion created in Jimmy's head while getting knocked out. But I don't know...
It's definitely not really there. Poor doggo, all he ever did was love his fam.
WTF JUST HAPPENED!?!?!
Wow lumineers just wow, you guys take my breath away with each part... Just .... wow!
so is it now allowed to have nudity on youtube? ok cool
Juan Felipe Medina stfu
👍🏼
Directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Tiffany Blievernicht IKR this is his style of scary yet amazing
Nick Stahl, cool!
A arte, meu pai ❤
I NEED AN EXPLANATION!
man that girl didn't have no tits anyway
I'm so excited to see where this goes... The Jimmy Sparks video is coming out soon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLZZ06O1Dpk
okay so what is the next theory?
Хелп ми.я нихуя не андестенд
I think the point is that addiction is a disease and not just bad choices. While bad choices play a part. The truth is addiction is a cycle that can be passed down thru generations.
This album is the best thing that has happened to me in 2019.
Me too maybe:)
❤️❤️
бесподобно
I can see them doing songs for American horror story. That would be so cool
Hell yeah
in love w/ this
Grandes.
Man this is really unexpected turn of events of the story
This was so powerful
My question is, is this in chronological order with all the episodes, or is this set before? Also does he die here in this one?
neonxgravestone i was wondering the same. also, it appears that he does not die bc they just realized a visual teaser for the next chapter and it shows him smoking a cig while bloody like that. my guess is he was just knocked out.
Chapter 8 is out, go watch, it’s definitely chronological but no spoilers here!
Wow.. Just wow!
my favorite bande all the time , respect from MOROCCO
...when Jimmy grabs at the woman's leg...the look on his face :( ....his eyes are begging for some sign that their connection was real...that maybe despite her having set him up...that something between them had been real, even if just for a moment....my heart then broke for him when this woman instead of giving him a moment of kindness turns on him with a look of disgust and hurts him too. So much pain drifting through the generations of the Sparks family...Jimmy is clearly flawed, but there's a childlike innocence I see in him....he deeply wants to fill the void of his absent alcoholic mother - this leaves him vulnerable to being taken advantage of by the kinds of flawed women he attracts.
I interpreted this scene in a whole other way, I thought she was trying to escape in the confusion and he was just holding her so she would have to confront the consequences too. I mean, the look of horror she gives to him while he is holding her down and the other guy is wrapping her with his arms... then jimmy seems to look at her like: Yes, you are coming down with me. Idk, that is what I understood from the scene.
@3 oh, i thought she was cheating on someone... Is just that, it doesn't seems like Jimmy has a lot of money to steal anyway, but then the wallet wouldn't made sense.
@3 oh, I wasn't aware of that... I will re-watch it with this new information. Thanks for the explanation!
The songs great and all, but damn, that's a whole ass tiddy
Beautiful as always <3
Why did this feel like 1 minute?
Hello guys!
If only one person read this, it would honestly be my day. I am a folk pop singer songwriter from France and I know people write it all the time but I think I'll be the one you'll be happy to listen to. I make all my songs and videos by myself and make a new clip every month in a different country. If a person can give his approval, it will facilitate the realization of the dreams of a musician.
You will not be disappointed. Just give a chance and 3 minutes of your time.
Merci beaucoup les amis 🙏
Just a beautiful piece of art.
