- Get the album here: tinyurl.com/julyflame A few bits of trivia that might help enhance your viewing experience. * The video has 1,804 individual images in it. Yes thats a lot of photos! * The fireworks were made from over 180 individual peaches. * The puppets are painted paper glued to a backing. * The matches are one of my favorite things in the video. I loved drawing the cover. * The puppets/set took 3 weeks to design and build. Shooting took 2 weeks. * Watch for cameo performances from the Phantom Mountain chicken and paper clip. * The desk is my Grandmas old kitchen table. You may remember it from the Phantom Mountain video

Holy shit
real music with magic, meaning, originality, creativity, feeling, and artistic vision ?
Dont find that to often
agrree
sure dont
Laura Veirs brings the vibes ✨️🌟❤️🔥
Agreed... except for the "shit", whether "holy" or not, and which I can quite easily do without, especially when Laura is around.
This is such an incredible, nostalgic, haunting, beautiful and underappreciated song and Laura Veirs is such an incredible and underappreciated artist. A lot more people should listen to her.
Do you know what makes this song so wonderful? I live in South Africa. I reckon you wrote this with summer in mind, but July flame represents something wholly different to me. It's a winter song and yet cosily warm. And yes, we also have devastating fires in some parts of the country that have dry winters.
But it's magical to me - it will always represent cold winters and nostalgia.
It definitely is magical. Thanks for the added dimension to this beautiful song!
Such unexplainable emotions this song gives me
That awkward moment when all the peaches in your forest burst into flame and you have to live on marshmallows to survive.
have to admit that would be a considerable annoyance to any woodland creature not to mention that a diet consisting of nothing more than marshmallows would contribute to early onset woodland diabetes
😂😂
Nobody could have describe it better.
July Flame, Year of Meteors and the Satbreaker albums are all 3 absolute masterpieces. Not one filler song on any of those albums
This never gets old. I love this
The Netflix serie Valeria brought me here. Good song. 🙌🏻
Omg... I just had Laura Viers recommended to me, so I decided to check her out. I clicked on this video first and ...... I’m a Paradise Camp Fire Survivor and I was not expecting that!!! Anyway, it’s brillant and amazing and I love it! I think I’m going to like her stuff. 💗
how is her work not world-recognized?
So beautiful
This is utterly beautiful. I don't know why, but I almost cried when the forest set on fire and the snake fell from the tree and died.
Proust writes so eloquently reminding one of emotions and feelings one has forgotten. This song does the same, being so dead-on accurate about deep feelings so as to arouse those same feelings, even if only in memory. I am a man, an old man. Somehow this song makes me think about what the woman was feeling, as I tried to make her fall deeper in love with me, not understanding that it had already happened.
I love Laura Veirs... all songs and albums.
this guitar and this voice... so beautiful :')
Totally reminds me of a hot summer evening. Awesome.
best discovery ever. i'm so glad i found her music.
Was listening to some Nico and someone in the comment section brought me here. Instant fan! Absolutely beautiful!
An absolute classic the likes of which seldom come around. I don't see how this never exploded.
this song is magic.
So this is the original. A lot more melancholy.
Beautiful!!!
This is one of my favourite songs... ever.
Just rediscovered this piece of magic on my iTunes and its stuck on repeat in my mind. So gorgeous
so many memories omg
Gorgeous allegorical video that blends perfectly with the music. Wonderful art. Thanks for sharing.
It brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful.
The flames.... are peaches. OMG.
the peaches....are on....FIRE!!!!!
I feel like she should be way more well known. The only reason I know about this AMAZING artist at all is because "Little Deschutes" was on Ringer a couple of weeks ago. Then I looked up the rest of Laura Veirs' stuff and fell completely in love. I can't believe I've never heard this beautiful music before. It speaks to my heart.
Awesome!
Whimsy...! I love it...
There are so many things to like and to cry about this video. I saw her perform it live in Boston in May 2018. And this album is phenomenal.
Perfect!
Just so you know...i have been obsessed with your music since 2009. This album has had a massive impact on my life...this and saltbreakers and year of meteors have always been there for me ever since i first heard them. The hold they have on me and my memories and nostalgia and the way they bleed into my current selves and eras...the music is literally magic, Laura. I would be a different person without them. I hope this comment reaches you ❤ i have never seen you live but I hope you come to Chicago soon!!!! Thank you for everything
Perfect for the 4th of July! :))
This is completely fantastic... in every way...
i think this song was way too ahead of its time. if it was released now it would be huge.
I don't think so. This song was released at the right time. Today's music is cancer.
I release it to my friends about twice a week
Cancer is a little harsh. How about landfill
Probably not Laura Veirs has been around for like 30 years now dude. She's just an underground gem and always will be. And thats ok.
Impeccable
I love how the animals win at the end. Damn you are so creative! So grateful to discover you! Thank you Laura!!!!
Reminds me of a summer
I love love this song!!!!!
simple yet heartfelt
I saw her name on Folk Radio UK and I'm so glad I checked her out. Brilliant.
i love how well the video fits with this beautiful song
Amazing song, amazing video!
Simple but so beautiful. Great artist!
The few times I’ve had my heartbroken, I ran to this song a lot. This and Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk.
i cried for the snake :'( i can relate to its feeling of being trapped, with no escape.
Amazing. Makes me think of my own July flame
this is fantastic!
wow. fantastic video. amazing amount of work that went into this, congrats.
Love the song, love the words.love the video,& love your little extra information of the making of the video.

July Flame
Firey kind
Will always
Lead me through the night
July Flame
Sweet summer peach
High up in the branch
Just out of my reach
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
July Flame
I'm seeing fireworks
They're so beautiful
Tell me why it hurts
July Flame
Ashes of a secret heart
Falling in my lemonade
Unslakable thirsting in the backyard
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
I always thought the lyrics were "fiery kite" and "will o' wisp" at the beginning
this is preety good!
rock and roll yeah
INDIE ROCK AWESOME

the song and vid are really serious and beautiful and the end made me laugh and cry. poor snake didn't get marshmallows
Such a sweet song. I stumbled on a Reddit comment that mentioned this lady's name. I'm astounded she isn't more well known.
her best song!
rabbits don't like their marshmallows toasted.
this is so fanciful! delighted. the matches are the coolest.
Outrageously Beautiful Composition.... Intoxicating, Ethereal, Both Heart Renderingly Sad And Uplifting.... Nice To Travel With Too, Through The Three Sisters Wilderness Parks/ Bend Oregon / Summer 2010.
