Bush - Letting the Cables Sleep

[sharkb8er]

the song is actually about one of his friends who found out he was HIV positive. really doesn't match the video.

as soon as you accept women are crazy or will go crazy and turn possessive you will suffer with them.

[misinglink15]

Funny to hear people say how today's music sucks. You do know we live in the age of the internet. Things have changed, bands can reach a wider audience for much cheaper, we are literally drowning in music.

[denveraic]

@misinglink15 IT does suck. Fuck you.

[Ginbruze]

Sweet dreams cables

[39kimberlee]

Amazing songs dont have an expiration date...

[jacobisoldenough]

Is this song about one night stands lol?

[jacobisoldenough]

I'm a stranger in my own house :(

[SheenaAlexis]

ugh...god i live this band

[erinannbrady]

I'm a stranger in Bennington, VT

[evdog999]

@erinannbrady I'm a stranger in Burlington, VT

[erinannbrady]

@evdog999 Booooyahh! :D

[joshua59771]

@katydid26 I know what you mean. These bands today have nothing on bands of the 90's like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, and last but not least Bush. I don't even listen to the radio anymore, I go back to the 90's discs.

[erinannbrady]

@joshua59771 Agreed, you're one smart lad

[ChadC919]

pastels of the mind

[coldstaind91]

Shout out to all the places you're in!...I'm a stranger in Clarion, PA

[jacketnipple]

I'm a stranger in my own hometown

[vthech]

@MadiFuckingPwns, Cobain Blew his fucking Head off, Sorry to be blunt, but that's what happened, Cobain died and Sound Garden called it quits,Just Leaving Pearl Jam

[pasteEater01]

Ok. what is signed at the end is to first guy "im sorry, i don't know why i didn't tell you... im sorry" second guy signs to her " where, what you were doing is wrong" she responds with "stop talking to me i don't know".

[TheLoraine1234]

Gavin, you're one HOT guy!

[MadiFuckingPwns]

@TheLoraine1234 I have the hugest crush on Gavin. I wish I was Gwen Stefani. :(

[danielle007duh]

God he is one attractive human being!!

[fuqdawh0]

Love it

[SapphireBlaze9]

Great song and video. What are they saying in sign language starting at 3:58? She says something, and the new guy says something like 'why didn't you call' or something. Translation, please?

[seanvwolf]

@SapphireBlaze9 my wife says she can make out the following. To first guy she signs, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you."; and then, to the other guy she signs, "I don't want to see you again."

[Dwadebowling]

IS THIS JOHNY DEPP 8P

[39kimberlee]

This is a ageless tune still rocking it in 2012!!!!

[WhBlAdEs28]

"Never seem to get in the place that I belong..." Story of my life!!!

[JaredLeesMom]

Makes me weep!!! What a truly lovely tune!!! Just beautiful!!! <3 <3 <3 it!!!

[ericross79]

this song has gotten me through so much shit in my life. its always been there for me when no one else has.... here we go again

[BreakingBenFan15]

I fucking love Bush....

[baitscene]

fuckin' lovin his hair in this vid.

[jay78g]

i waaaaaaaaaant that box set!!!!!!!

[wellholyballs]

H'es hot. I'd fuck him.

[TheJordanGraff]

@katydid26 they quit doing dope because they were getting old

[jesseeq1]

if the lead singer of bush dies or any of them do i will fly a plane into the new towers

[SilentHillHeather]

Im glad Bush is back together, but they need to go back to the sound they had in the 90's.... *sigh* :(

[karmadog7777]

☣Who the hell could thumbs-down this? Such a beautiful song, they are talented song writers for sure☣

[MRNICEGYE90]

listening to my older bro (24) weep over a break up. his whole life was based around this women. he caught her cheating today... this song helps the both of us right now ^_^

[DeadSilentGhost]

@MRNICEGYE90  I know what you mean, Bush, Live, Semisonic, and all of the great musicians of the 90's helped me through my woman, who did the same to me. Try some Morphine, that always makes me feel better when I am down.

[coldstaind91]

@MRNICEGYE90 Fucking whores...someone oughta step on 'em...sorry, bro.

[electronicoffee]

@MRNICEGYE90 Just give him a blowjob. He'll be fine.

[denveraic]

@MRNICEGYE90 life fuckin sucks. You can love someone with all your heart, give them everything. And they are clueless to what you feel, clueless to the love.

[BooBop1987]

I love that song and the music video has a very sad storyline!

[theyprja]

Trying to do homework while listening to this. it really just doesn't work. this song is so amazing that I can't concentrate on ANYTHING else besides this song. that says something. it really does.

[tckidd1982]

Sexy video!

[dragondancer1814]

I haven't heard this song in years, and I completely forgot how it can grab hold of your heartstrings and give them one helluva yank, especially if you're having one of those "bluesy" days.  Amazing song.

[Kingyeshuaswitness]

If you analyze the video, you see that when they touch there is color. As their hands touch, his world is tinted with her color. And when he smears paint on the walls, the colors are similar to the colors she wears, displaying a sense of longing. "Whatever you say is alright..." but she can't speak, adding some depth to the lyrics, and as she leaves she is signing to him that she's sorry.

[Kingyeshuaswitness]

@Kingyeshuaswitness Got that below from a site, I'm not that smart.

[revent29]

@Kingyeshuaswitness This song is actually about his friend dying from HIV. Letting the cables sleep is suppose to mean finally coming to rest, and not having to suffer. The part where he says "I'm a stranger to this town," was written because his friends did not want to tell him about the situation, hence why he felt like a stranger to the town, he answered it in an interview back in 2002 I think it was.

[enforcedmarco]

im a stranger to this TOWN !!

[eileenerxx]

what were they saying at the end of the video?.. with their hand gestures?

[Lizap3]

Just saw bush last week.. I was hoping they play this song but they didnt...still killed it!! I love them!!

[jess091]

i would like to triple like this

[dancerxogirl13]

is she deaf?

[Heartseeker01]

@dancerxogirl13 yeppers

[halfangeldevil16]

anyone else jealous?

[aMUSEdRockrBabe7]

Genius, way ahead of their time, and Gavin sings this just perfectly, and he's not hard on the eyes...yum!

[MidnigthPoison23]

lovely song

[notmystandard21]

This is a fantastic song. It's helped me through some rough times, and I get the feeling that it will continue to help me. I know you're afraid of what will happen to us when I go to college, but if we just talk about it, we'll work something out. I love you, Stephanie.

[muzicluvrmillion]

amazing song n i luvvv gavin rossdale

[blowme83x]

[bkurek94]

[avaphynx]

I want to roll around in the paint with Gavin ... I can only dream...

[heatherdumas]

I am in love with this amazingly beautiful song.

[chinosmydreamo]

ridiculously good looking <3

[Abear222]

Going to the show in AC tonight, set lists look great

[JennieHolder]

@missmisfit13, from what I can tell, she is signing,"sorry, know, say/tell" which could be, sorry I don't know how to say or tell you. They are not using American Sign Language, but that's what I gather.

[Abear222]

@JennieHolder Yeah I think it's something like "sorry I didn't tell you"

[wee1belle2]

@JennieHolder ASL+sign in England=LOT of similarities! Hard to tell if it is ASL or not -its being used to communicate with EVERYONE, here. I agree with you that she's trying to say, "SORRY" (in general, perhaps) also "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL/SAY-TO YOU" (her lips speak). The other guy [I'm unsure if he's metaphor for motivations for her silence (he, too, is signing -the OPPOSITE OF SILENCE, but works), or THE OTHER GUY] signs his "worry" and cluelessness on whats going on, too -POWERFUL!!!

[mpa324]

@tarutan21 dont worry they are back with a new album..out on september..

[delovely05]

Beautiful song what happen to those days?

[13024796]

Wow, no Bush videos have reached more than 500,000 views. And that's a damn shame. Even Idiotic videos have more views than this. Bush is a Great band and deserved way more. Idk what peoples problems are listening to the shit they listen to. I mean this is a beautiful song. Its just sad

[DontFuckDrunk]

damn forgot about this song...!

[TheMilakunis]

[JHZildjian]

Beautiful moment when the guitars and strings drop out during the second verse and re-enter during "watching the lights go down, letting the cables sleep."

Really gorgeous song from these guys.

[melm4402]

All I can say is DAMN. Such a hot video! :)

[Candeezy100]

Anybody know where exactly in Brooklyn, Ny this was filmed? 

[dimeofweed12]

The 90's was the shit and i was just a baby to.....sucks tht i missed all this great music like Bush,Nirvana,Alice in Chains,Pearl Jam,Oasis all them are great bands....this genration sucks

[AWSOMEPOSSUM16]

@dimeofweed12 Couldn't have said it better myself. I was born in 93.

[Heartseeker01]

@dimeofweed12 same here dude id give up all the technology for this shit...fuck todays music....

[japimportssuck]

@dimeofweed12 Spelling

[andrewjk2]

@dimeofweed12 lol that's true but this generation doesn't totally suck, their are great bands like Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Avenged Sevenfold, and 10 years to name a few

[Nicholosity]

@dimeofweed12 Mastadon, Red fang, black keys, Danko jones, Airbourne I could go on and on shut up and enjoy the teen years you have you will regret not spending them enjoying the music of today

[laurenesorger]

I have now listened to this song probably 50 times since I remembered its existence yesterday. I don't know why I am so drawn to it.

[999marydoll]

@laurenesorger know what you mean....I've always loved this song but I forgot about it too for a long time. I hear they're supposed to have another CD out - hope so. love the guitar on this song....along with everything else

[6juggalo6clown6]

forgot how much i love this song

[laurenesorger]

I wasn't a huge fan of this song when it first came out because I was an old school BUSH fan but now it hit me in the heart everytime. I cry and get goosebumps and I don't know why.

[Pac117]

@laurenesorger i think this song was ahead of its time and it was written for an older audience... aka. our current age..same thing happened to me

[CloudTribal1]

I love his hair in this video. I wish my hair was that sexy!

[calistaar]

BEST SONG. my favourite for all time. its so true. i'm a stranger in this town...

[EmberOfSoul1323]

Who is the girl in the music video?

[missasegei]

I love U, Gavin.

[soulcalibur22]

@missasegei i love you too billy :)

[sweiland75]

I thought he said "science", not "silence", until I looked up the lyrics. :P

[ohsnapitsharley]

@sweiland75 So did I dude. xD

[xxpeacewriterxx]

This song is absolutely amazing!! I cannot understand why there aren't anymore views!!!

[maggotface96]

@bccritters hey im 15 and ive been listening to bush for 6 years... also bush is not the same without gavins long hair

[bccritters]

@maggotface96 Kudos to you, maggotface. Funny thing, I used to have the same hair cut muhahahahaha

[bccritters]

Bush was SO huge in the 90's, I can't figure out why so many young people don't know who they are.

[xAndrewDx]

@bccritters Justin Bieber.

[bccritters]

@xAndrewDx GROSS, just gross.... LOL

[Heartseeker01]

Waking up to this song on mtv...... what happened to those days

[nikkyfields]

@Heartseeker01

Jersey shore happened. Now teenagers have drinking habbits and go through mid life crisis's at thirteen. It's tragic. Mtv killed this generation.

[davism4a1]

@Heartseeker01 and vh1 pop up video, wtf happened

[999marydoll]

@Heartseeker01 hell if I know...now waking up to mtv is waking up to music hell...should be MHV instead

[nikkyfields]

@Heartseeker01 Viva la bam did =\

[TheEpisteme]

@nikkyfields No that shit started way before jackass and bam. Probably before tom green. I would say mtv and pretty much all television was dead only in a matter of time as soon as shows like The Real World came on the air. As soon as network executives realised they didn't even need to try to produce content to get us to watch advertisements and product placements it was over. Now look at us. People are more entertained by the latest car insurance commercials than the shows they think they like

[nikkyfields]

@TheEpisteme So many good points. I would have to agree with you over myself.

[bigdsears]

@TheEpisteme I know what you mean brah... Its all mindless matter consumed by the teeners and maybe, just maybe I dont want to save 15% on my car insurance.

[B1itZKr3iGC4]

@Heartseeker01 ppl cant write good music thats whats happened

[98ggti]

@Heartseeker01 Songs on MTV...what happened to those days.

[heatherdumas]

@Heartseeker01 I hate this decade. I don't wanna wake up to some chick with a giant booty in my face. Not on tv anyway.

[heavenkemp]

this song was playing when i was being born and my name is heaven and thats not why they named me that is that cool

[EmoAngel0140]

WOW  REALLY HOT!!!

[afromagnumXXL]

ok just saying that chick in that ad kinda pisses me off lol

[hinkypunk1024]

I remember watching this video for the first time, years ago, and thinking "wow, this is amazing!" Still love it!

[hinkypunk1024]

Beautiful song, beautiful video, BEAUTIFUL GAVIN!!!!!

[twasbrillig33]

Incredible video, incredible song

[boredwithouttv]

Wow, this song is amazing, and the video... ouch! it hurts how much I lke this song right now....

[UCLAjavi]

This song is achingly beautiful. :(

[ejaxelvy]

@UCLAjavi --- yes.. it hurts to hear it

[SiLVERFUCK8]

amazing song, terrible to listen to when ur deep thinkn

[wolfclan13]

personally.... i'd be jealous of tje girl in that video. because he's HOT,

[wolfclan13]

this song makes me cry. <3 i dont' cry.

[maleficus1000]

Martha why have you foresakened me! I find myself tossing and turning,it's 455am here in hollywood and I can't seem to find solace in anything I do,u r my only muse,I gave u my sweet everything and I understand love is not an obligation but u showed no remorse. I can't stop dreaming about you,I wonder if someone will ever b in love with me,but then again at this point I I realize love is nothing more than a chemical reaction,I will forget about you I assure you,sadly u forgot about me already.

[MolagBal89]

@maleficus1000 i feel you bro. katie did the same to me

[maleficus1000]

@MolagBal89 thanx for your moral support,is cool to know people still care,it seems you and I r on the same boat,this is the worst season to endure solitude sadly,best of luck bro.

[takfreak11]

@maleficus1000 Love is more than a chemical reaction, it is somewhat of a spiritual experience. If you feel love for your family all the time, how can it just be chemicals? There aren't that many chemicals in the human body to sustain such an emotion. If Love is really a chemical reaction FUCK Love. Hell you can inject yourself with Love if that was true. It takes a FOOL to realize Love loves no one.

[Anonpeace]

@takfreak11 Ecstasy injects you with love.

[LaynesAddiction]

love the leslie effect on the guitar

[Hilltop1120]

This was the last song i heard before i went into the hospital & seen my son be born. We named him Gavin. awesome tie to this song.

[calicolombiano27]

with long hair he looks like kurt kobain. without them he looks like jared leto

[TheGloryfighter1000]

great song just great song has meaning 

[APT420]

@TheGloryfighter1000 What does it mean, ya think?

[genxgina]

i'm glad he let his hair grow out again. I love his curls. <3 This song is really beautiful, and sad.

[partyongarth420]

that reminds me of some big new york city flat apartment that would cost upwards of like 2500 to 3000 per month to live in... with like 1 big ass room and a couple tiny rooms or something lol

[h3ym4n1c3sh0t]

simply spine-chilling. my fav track off of the "science of things" album, just a shame this songs so underappreciated. its amazing to think that gavin wrote this about a friend of his with aids, and the horrible secret that the guy kept from the world... it has the unique ability to come across as incredibly eerie and sad, yet mysteriously beautiful at the same time, its incredible. i think i will demand that this song be played at my funeral.

[smtowry]

This song is like audio sex....I'm addicted to it lol

@smtowry�
