  • This song is A M A Z I N G.

  • This also is the exact same relationship we have with Jesus Our Lord and Savior. For he was crucified and died and defeated death so that he would give us eternity with Himself. A sacrifice that I will never be able to repay but I will follow him all the days of my life.

  • this is the story of my life... *_*

  • i just knew he was LOVE, incarnate, you get what you give,and everybody loves him, because, he IS love, and thats why it feels sooo good to watch him, i just feel healed, every time, everytime i watch keane.

  • I really love this song, Tom Chaplin has an amazing voice, and the piano-sound is fantastic:) Keane is a greeeeaaaat band!!

  • My favorite. It was once dedicated to a friend who didn't accept the sentiment. I guess that's just life. Love so many of Keane's tracks, but this one makes me cry and smile at the very same time. It's perfect.

  • One of my favorites by my favorite band. Tom's voice is mesmerizing and all but the last album are wonderful.

  • Wow, who are you? That was very soulful. I'm in San Clemente California, US. I guess I should investigate you now :0) Oh I'm a jazz singer over here at oc jazz singer dot com. I love your song. Deborah

  • this song was in my mind when i woke up this day....i ll never forget.

  • Keane is the best band that ever existed!

  • this song is awesome. one of my favs.

  • Wow !!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song but at the same time makes me very sad. When this album came out, a very young friend, in his early teens, had just taken his own life...'If' is such a tough word. I'd cry myself to sleep listening to this track over and over again....

  • I AM CRUMBLED AND SOBBING.

  • @CINDYAMARTINEZ

    Sorry 2 hear this....I know exactly how it feels....big hug....x Val

  • This song makes me cry

  • I lay myself down To make it so but you don't want to know I give much more Than I'd ever ask for Will you see me in the end Or is it just a waste of time Trying to be your friend Just shine, shine, shine Shine a little light Shine a light on my life Warm me up again.... What a beautiful but very sad song!
  • In Morelia Michoacan We love Keane. Especially this song.

  • ...GENIAL!!!

  • sooo beautiful....

  • ...thx byrdie...

  • Love this song Alot :-(

  • haha i know, me too :p i listened to the song, and i was like; uhmm, whats this got to do with hamburgers? but then i reread the title :p

  • so what has it to do with the city?

  • Honestly, in my opinion it has everything to do with the city

    I'm from Hamburg so I have a strong connection with the city

    and I'm not sure why but I just.. understand the song

  • i think it was written there, wasn't it?

  • As far as I know, the first time, they played this song on a gig was in Hamburg (my home town! :)). And when they recorded it, they named the tape 'Hamburg Song' (at first just to know which song was on it) and since they all agreed that that title actually fitted very well, they never changed it.

  • This is my favourite song!!

  • To make you feel loved... <3 Keane the best of all

  • This is my cry song !

  • SAME WITH ME!

    the part that makes me cry the most if the part with the piano solo close to the end

  • Oh, shit. x-x; I thought it said Hamburger song!! It's a really nice song though. <3

  • motion picture soundtrack is nice but this is much better!

  • warum heisst das lied hamburg song?

  • ::KEANE:: So beautiful! ♥

  • it was written while the band was in hamburg, germany

  • a beautiful track, inspired by the most beautiful city there is.

  • No, it was written while EATING a hamburger! lol no not really yes beautifull song and city!

  • why is it called "hamburg song"?

  • This songs is so gorgeous...... I love it. I cry aswell every time I hear it.

  • Don't know how many times I've cried to this song.. So beautiful!

  • go0od

  • Wonderful beautiful song that reminds why I fell in love with Keane....

  • one of the best song i know. specialy in the morning:D

  • This track should've been given more air play, it's sooo emotive, a true Keane classic imho. xoxo

  • Beautiful song.

  • yes i have !!!!!

    but keane are awesome and i went to see them last night, great show, disappointed they didnt play this tho :(

  • I think they're nothing like Radiohead and way better - no offence.

  • I don't know how anyone could deny the similarities. If this song wasn't inspired by Motion Picture Soundtrack, I would be very surprised. The two bands are DEFINITELY similar as well.

    And I'm not about to argue about which band is better-- it's a matter of preference and music is ALWAYS subjective.

  • Actually made me cry :)

    And nothing makes me cry!

    Just one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and Keane are one of the best bands around.

  • me too.

  • Absolutely the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Just a perfect combination of music and lyrics. You can apply this song to so many different types of relationships.

  • will be playin this tune at my dads funeral next week,thanks to whoever posted it,u have reminded me of so many good memories.xxxx

  • their soul is in their music...

  • and so is mine...

  • This Was Played At My Best Mates Funeral

    R.I.P Alex

    Love You Always

    :'(

  • music that makes you cry. from beauty... keane forever

  • keane is such a good band, probably my favourite. they're music can actually make me cry! what's the point of music without emotion?!

  • so beautiful.

  • Guys...what a piece of work....THANK YOU...THE LYRICS ARE AMAZING & YOU ARE SUCH A PERFORMER TOM...THANK U.

    LOVE,

    Val

  • lol 'Hambug'

  • vocally outstanding lyrics fantastic aaaaaaaammmmmmaaaaaaaaazzzzzzz­zzzzzziiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnngg­ggggggggg.

  • in the song cover... it has the words and some of the ones in the book (these are all right) are WRONG!!

  • hey mojabby2, I'm 50 and I also love the books! My daughter told me about them...I found them totally compelling! I had no idea there was an Eclipse playlist...I'm going to check it out. Thanks to maffy2004 for posting this beautiful song!

  • EdwardXBella fan

  • Me too but I feel sorry for poor Jake. I just wanna give him a hug....though that might be because I am quite cold....

    Space heater heehee

    Team Edward!!

  • Twilight Play list!!!

    Awesome song

  • edward and bella forever!!!!!!!

  • This is actually a pretty good song lol and yes I read it because of the Eclipse Playlist thing. I was addicted to the books the second I read them!

  • <3 I like this song,I was sort of surprised of the Twilight stuff mentioned xD did other people come to look at the song becuause of her playlist? JacobxBella fan anyways =]

  • the whole thing with Edward and Bella really really hit me hard cause first im mad then im happy then im irritated and annoyed.

    yet i still like Edward better than Jake for some reason :/

  • i love jake! bella's the stupid one, who makes Jake hope. And then... he's fighting for this hope! For his love! If you'd love someone that much, you'd fight, too!

    so shut up!

  • the books are amazing! you should read them ... twilight!

  • Wtf are you all on about? These books?

    What are they =S ..

    I LOVE THIS SONG x

  • get a life.

  • I'm sorry you don't like the books, but that doesn't mean other people can't. And just because this song gets some publicity from a playlist for one of those books doesn't mean it's a bad thing. So what, people listen to it because of the playlist, but they keep listening because they like it.

    And you're also acting like everyone that reads the books wants to marry them. Is it not ok for people to like a book?

  • hey me2bmer ur retarded he or she was askin what the hell they were not sayin theyre stupid ya dumbass

  • your a dumbass dont leave shit comments like that when u don't kno wat the hell were talking about i love edward cullen so go fuck ur self and get a fuckin life!!!!

  • It's okay for you to have your own opinion,but don't trash other peoples.

    Swearing is not needed to get a point across.

    I'm 13, and I like the books. You have a problem with that? So, because I like the books and characters, I'm a "dumbass"?

    And I don't idiolize vampires and werewolves. They're cool, but I know they aren't real. And you don't know if they would kill you or not.

    So, I've proven my point. And if you don't know what point I made, you have a low intelligence level.

  • It's a response to alavenderp's comment.

  • lol u burned him

  • wouu, Iam clapping my hands ( no ironicly!! ) I guess there is still a hope for young people when 13 years old has a such a great communication skill. Iam really glad that I read this comment, I was afraid that every youngs listen no only to hip hop etc, you know what I mean. *Thumbs up*

  • I actually don't like hip hop or rap. I'm one of the only people in my class that can say that! Thanks for the nice reply!

  • ya im with him i hate rap and hip hop

  • I'm 13 (and dutch) and i'm listening to keane, coldplay, snow patrol, john legend, etc..

    Not all 13-year-olds listen to hiphop ;)

  • its true

  • same, I am 13 and I listen to Keane Travis Coldplay Snow Patrol. If people at school knew I listened to things like that I would be immediatly classed as an emo.

  • well thats stupid... nobody cares wut anybody listens 2 at my school...but different schools r different so ya lol

  • i love all those bands too but im not ever looked at as an emo. there jus easy listening bands not emo

  • This is just great. I am from Hamburg and accidentally found this. I love Keane and didn't know they had a song with the name of my town.

    The song is really great and it kinda fits to me at the moment...i nearly had to cry. *sigh

  • hat aber nix mit hamburg zu tun, nur dass sie dieses lied erstmals dort aufnahmen im studio...

  • thanks for posting the song with the lyrics!!!

  • loL! It seems a lot of people are here b/c of the playlist

    I LOVE KEAN! EDWARD CULLEN IS MY LIFE!!

    ILY EDWARD CULLEN!

  • stephenie meyer picks such good songs for the characters!!!

  • oh my god, this is such a good song! o.o!

    stephenie meyer has good taste in songs lol. i think it's funny every song i'm visiting on youtube right now has comments that relate to her playlist...*but blushes from the fact that she, too, is referring to it while she looks up songs*

  • lol yeah me 2 :)

  • I am from Hamburg :D

    I feel honored they called one of their songs Hamburg Song ;)

  • jesus! is EVERYONE looking through the playlist?

  • lol seems like it

  • Most certainly, but that's not why I listen to this song. Keane came before Twilight, and I was thrilled to see it on her playlists!

    Throw Harry Potter, Keane, Twilight, and a few other good books and band together along with some blankets, a fireplace, and some chocolate, and I'm in p-a-r-a-d-i-s-e!!

  • yes. yes we are.

  • This song really describes Jacob well. I don't have any reason not to like Jacob, he is nice to her and he did save her when she was broken, but I don't like him. Maybe it's just because he's confusing Bella and I really want to see her with Edward. Edward and Bella should be together. Because I know if I were in her place, I'd want to be with Edward. He's perfect, so nice and kind. Romantic and a total gentleman. Ahh, I love Edward!

  • hamburg is a city in Germany...it probably has something to do with that.

    as to jacob and edward, i love them both the same. i really do.

  • i really HATE Jacob, he is such a pest. He was okay in Twilight but he got so annoying in New Moon especially since Bella also falls for him. I like Edward Cullen the best, Bella is okay, but she is kinda playing Jacob in Eclipse.

  • no she's not^^

  • she goes to jacob every time Edward is busy. and unless you have a better reason to how bella isn't playing jacob tell me. btw did you know Kristen Stewart is playing Bella for the movie.

  • yes I did, and its just because she's lonley and she misses him cause he was a good friend she loves him in a way but loves edward much more and she doesnt like being babysat by Alice. Bella is NOT playing Jacob^^

  • then why did she kiss him back in eclipse then chooses Edward? btw im smartiessz i just have more than 1 account.

  • she kissed him back because shes in love with him. but not enough that it changes anything.

    shes NOT playing jacob.

  • I think Kristen Stewart is a pretty Bella =P

    I'm happy, cause I don't like Danielle Panabacker and Emily Browning =P

  • I'm in love with this song and Edward! I LOVE EDWARD!

  • Me too x)

  • who doesn't?

  • why is this song called hamburg song? :S

    i dont get it

  • this is one of my favourite songs by keane, they are just MAGIC...

  • tom is the better

  • Why is it called 'hamburg' song ???

  • BC HAMBURGERS ARE COOL!

    FOOL!

  • can you guys stop talking about Jacob and start talking about Tom please? lol

  • whos tom?

  • I LOVE JACOB BLACK!

    Edward is just too perfect, it gets on my nerves. Can he at least have one defining flaw?

  • he does have a flaw. he reacts to quickly to things without really analyzing the situation thouroughly and others' reactions

  • hell yess.

  • its funny how i randomly decide to watch this thinking about the book and BAM jacob comes in...

    what a small world..

    any way fuck no jacobs a prick.

  • yes he is ^^

  • jacob sucks ass >PP

  • Jacob is too immature. He acts more like a child. Edward has 3 flaws that he has admitted to in the books. 1. He has a slight god complex and 2. He overreacts to everything and 3. Bad self image. You can see it more also if you read the outtakes for twilight and New Moon on Stephanies website. These couple of flaws are the reason for him leaving Bella in the first place and the reason that he is always thinking he knows what is best for her even when it is not.

  • haha ya u kno in new moon he broke a big screen tv lol god bless i love him i hate jacob im dying to get braking dawn!!!!

  • I think edward seemed kind of detached in eclipse....I felt like he was going to leave her again.

  • I hate my life.

  • killing ur self is always an answer.

  • I started liking Jacob in the beginning because I felt bad that Bella lost her best friend....but then when this whole "love" thing started coming into the picture.....eww I DESPISE JACOB!!!!! and I'm very angry with Bella!!

  • i love this song!!!!!i heard it wen i came out of hosp the other day and crnt stop listening to it!!i love keanes voice its amamzin:D

  • ah i love this song, it goes very well with the jake perspective of eclipse

  • Okey, I would like to know how many people prefer Edward and how many people like Jake better. Just write reply to this and cast your vote. Please. I want to know.

  • jake! i cried at the end of eclipse...

  • EDWARD 4 EVA!

  • I felt sorry for Jake but I love Edward a lot more.

  • Edward. Even though I did cry at the end of eclipse. He doesn't win my much though. I almost love them equally.

  • i think steph sums it up when jake describes himself to bella opposed to edward. edward is the drug she can't live without. jake would have been healthier, like the air, the sun.

  • your so right, it's hard too pick between them.

  • EDWARD duh

  • wait, r u teling mr tom id edward?

    WHAT?

    -fells like eating ice cream-

    **walks away to eat ice cream**

  • Edward all the way...I really love Jake, but I love Edward SO much more! I can't wait for the wedding!...I'm such a sap...

    Wooh! Team Edward!

  • I started crying when he gave her the diamond! It was so amazing! Next Fall! Can't wait!!

  • Edward!!! Jake is a good friend...nothing more.

  • *sniffle*

    I love Jake!!!!!!!!!!!

    Edward is soo stryoTypical!!!!!!!

    If i was bella I'd Chose Jacob.

  • OMG!!! i can't wait for the weding!!!!!

    Yes definatly from jacob.

    Go team edward!!!<3

  • I agree fully. but i sort of feal bad for jake. i mean he is now giving up his human self. i wish he would just imprint already.

  • Go twilight lovers!

  • this song is for tom..tim told that in the interview..

  • jakes fer sure

  • Jake just loves Bella, he hasn't imprinted with her. Stephenie said so in one of her signings.

  • This song is from jacobs point of view for sure its about how he makes it so she is safe but she can never return the favor and does Jacob inprint bella or wat??? or is he jus in luv wit her?

  • good job matty..

  • I love Stephenie and Jake.

  • I'm not really sure which perspective this song is from... it could fit Jacob, Bella, or even Edward... I think it just depends on what you make it to be...

  • yep, seems like jacob's point of view.

  • definitely from Jake's perspective.

  • actually, the first few lines actually sounds like edward's pov:

    I don't wanna be adored

    Don't wanna be first in line

    Or make myself heard

    I'd like to bring a little light

    To shine a light on your life

    To make you feel loved

    No, don't wanna be the only one you know

    I wanna be the place you call home

  • This song is definately from Jacob's perspective. I think it fits really well with his and Bella's relationship.

  • Hooray for Twiligh,New Moon, and Eclipse fans!! <3

    I see I'm not the only one who saw the playlist...

    I think the song is both Jacob and Bella..it's "their" song if you will lol

  • I think that it might be switching from Bella and Jacobs view depending on the right words.... but I think it is mostly from Jacobs... "I give much more then I ever ask for" is Jacob saying that he gives her is heart, even though he knows she can never return it. "Shine a light on my life and warm me up again" Is from Bella more, as seen in New Moon, and parts of Eclipse. What do you guys think?

  • I can see how it's from Jacobs p.o.v.

  • Haha, I don't think it'll matter what video I go to for each of these songs.

    Eclipse comments are going to be all over.

  • Oh, hum. Acctually if you listen to it more, it's more Jacob :P My bad
