[suicidesucks08]

RON PAUL 2012!!

[yildi]

most beautiful song i ever heard

[RKReyes4]

That was great

[Starscream322]

Anna can be hot sometimes

[alphabetxsoups]

this song. just kills me. every. time.

[XxXxXJerseyKidXxXxX]

It says "Somewhere they foxtrot madly".

[deranger17]

5:15, What does the guitar say?

[surgar5400]

I love but hate this song I have days where it's the only song I want to here and days where I never ever want to hear it again I used to hate it but I find in days where I think about my ex I start singing the stars come out sometime around midnight :)

[MrJubb17]

buddy looks like the child catcher from chitty chitty bang bang.

just sayin....awkward

[musedude12]

has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. it has a great story to it, i love it

[chubalub]

Itz been forever since I've found a band that blows me away song after song. I especially love this acoustic series. I think that is where A.T.E.'s strengths are most profound. Smokin'. You guys rock.

[metallicamoose]

The album that song is from completely covered every stage of my previous relationship. This song still makes me tear up.

[PoolstickMikestands]

amazing song amazing sound. the emotion just amazing.

[Tytyshortfry]

everytime i revisit this i have to listen to it a couple times to fully take it all in.. such a beautiful emotion filled song

[mkilkenny01]

ATE came to KC Friday night and my friend passed me a last minute ticket - 3rd time I've seen them, front row for this song - I looooooove Anna :)

[adriyellowful]

I feel the violins playing inside of my soul- no joke! Such a powerful, poignant song!

[jayoels]

yeah a band without Vevo and this song is the best!!!

[iammartin24]

This is SO, SO GOOD!!! Brilliance

[Truethinking001]

Pretty much, go read the lyrics. If you cant tell what its about by reading them, your kind of a moron.

[dickmove100]

MY EX SENT ME THIS SONG,,WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? does she still love me?

[taikodrummaster]

@dickmove100 guess so

[adriyellowful]

@dickmove100

I think it means she's gonna be wearing a white dress next time you see her lol

[MrScaramoosh]

and it starts 

great music

[Erythron66]

If i could cry i would cry... thinking about a beauty

[normandumond]

This girl, a bartender, been flirting up a storm... She posts this song and says it's for me. Now I can't stop listening to it! I don't even listen to this type of music but its good! .....and it makes me feel like a knot is in my throat, meen there, done this... Then she walks away...... Then she walks away....

[tntmofo]

If you were ever left broken hearted, you know what these words do to you..

[stinkypinky415]

17 fuckin justin beiber fans

[andyholmes121]

I've come to decide, this band is in my top #5

[MrDrizzt19]

Amazing XD

[ElmoLuver182]

God this song brings back memories !(:

[MAGROmagie]

Dieser Song ist einfach der Hammer. Heute auch auf BR3 gehört, gemerkt und sofort gesucht. Wahnsinn. Super. Macht Lust auf mehr.

[enzomaldini]

Danke Bayern 3 für diesen Hammer musik tip

macht weiter so geile musik Jungs und Mädels

[Bazza4207]

Wonderful

[suender85]

fuckin' great

[MsSauterelle]

magnifique... :)

[MelissaMac5]

Thanks for the correction. Don't play classical instruments so excuse my ignorance. She plays the viola likes she's possessed! Viola or violin, still rocks!

[MelissaMac5]

Wow! Anna rocks on this one! She plays that violin like she's possessed. Awesome!!

[williamctang]

@MelissaMac5 that's a viola :)

[rogga]

the room's suddenly spinning

as she walks up and asks how you are

so you can smell her parfume

you can see her lyiing naked in your arms

awesome!!

[callingocala1216]

can anyone tell what's written in white on the bottom of his guitar?

[Griever9977]

@callingocala1216 Somewhere they foxtrot wildly, or madly, can't quite make it out.

[Ticklelovesyou]

@callingocala1216 Somewhere they foxtrot madly

[GenerationOfSwine]

@callingocala1216 "Somewhere they Fox trot madly"

[chuffylovenuggets]

My favourite song to go to when i feel bad, EVER!

Too good to be played on local radio stations.... Thats why it never happens

[chuffylovenuggets]

My favourite song to go to when i feel bad, EVER!

Too good to be played on local radio staions.... Thats whty it never happens 

[davidvandijcke]

I'm pretty dissapointed in their latest tracks like Numb, All I Ever Wanted etc. So i came here to convince myself that they're just having a bad year. I hope so

[MsKneeslapper]

YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER, YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER, YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE HER, YOU KNOW THAT SHE'LL BREAK YOU IN TWO.

[raebles1234]

@MsKneeslapper the most amazing line ever! Those words are true.

[MsKneeslapper]

15 people have never experienced love. because if they had, they'd know that love hurts.

[pandaclaire11]

I'm speechless, so so so so good

[Tytyshortfry]

AND YOUR FRIENDS SAY WHAT IS IT YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE SEEN A GHOST

[silinxer]

Quite honestly I think this is one of the few bands today that can tell a full story. So many of the R&B and Pop stars are trying to do so and I can't even tell you what it is about because it is so horrid I just switch the channel. It's nice to see that real talent still exists!

[FailingMyLove]

The way I know if a song is good is if I get chills at some point during the song.

This song is amazing and perfect because I have chills the entire time it's playing.

There isn't one element or aspect of this song that isn't absolutely beautiful.

[someone552005]

What does it say on his guitar? All this time, and I can't believe I hadn't seen the acoustic version (this being one of my favorites from them, the first song from them I heard too). 'Twas good.

[Wattepausch]

ich liebe es ♥

[LOVEMUFFINS007]

strange...when mikel looks at me at 4:31 i suddenly feel guilty though i haven't done anything wrong.

[tommy111681]

I love this song! So much emotion and passion! Absolutely beautiful!!

[forangeljr]

Killer ass song.

[cbassful]

me and a few friends saw these a few years ago and this still unanimously remains as the best live song we've heard... and they're all into pretty heavy rock... as good as any classic...

[Audioman45]

I've heard so many songs, but this song alone remains my favorite of all time.

[makeupbytaradotcom]

So I'm scrolling the comments on this and it's just comforting to know that I'm not the only fucked up one in this world. Yah, misery loves company-

[UsagiShika]

I highly doubt that this sing is about his moms cancer. Mostly baceuse he talks about her being naked in his arms....

[Theteddyballgame15]

@UsagiShika Mikel spent three days by himself writing this song... it's about an ex girlfriend he saw at a bar and realized he still loved her

[BassmanisBA]

@UsagiShika

*shakes fist*

FREUUUUUUD

[SuperDeadhope]

@UsagiShika like you never hold ur naked mother and stuff

[JULES24JAG]

@SuperDeadhope LMFAO XD wow nice lol 

[BassmanisBA]

@UsagiShika

*shakes fist*

FREUUUUUUD

[dopeyzero714]

this song is fucking good

[mattuoni]

I thought tht because You were going through a rough time in your life a song I wrote you would help... Thanks for rejecting me in front of the whole school ... I still respect and want you to be happy so I won't mention your name...

[zcustom145]

story of my life ;(

[blinkandlaugh]

this song was so... moving. it rendered me speechless...he really did look like he was about to cry. or already was, internally...i almost felt like i was invading his privacy..

[chickenwrap08]

I just found out about this band and I'm totally in love w/ the music.Too bad that I didn't know TATE before.It feels like I have missed something all these years:(

[phieniac23]

LOVE IT

[allgudusernamestaken]

l.o.v.e

[AnBananable]

don't cry mikel.... i <3 you

[hanalyse]

I read they just all kind of sat around as a group and wrote the song together with a couple bottles of wine.

[britty3516]

from what I read this was an actual situation for Mikel Jollett. The song is about him running into his ex-girlfriend at a bar one night.

[xxxmissybellerxxx]

Lethal song xD

[80lucile]

I am going thru the same thing.This song breaks my heart.I play it over and over.I know that only makes it worse.I just can't help it.My stomach is in ropes. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me,I wanted this guy to be THE ONE. I don't know what to do. I can't sleep,eat,live...

[himbeeerbrause]

@80lucile yes you can live, and the song is worth it :) because IF he went through the same situation, he stands there singing and complaining about it, but hes going with something good ouf of it - the song.

[theflash4490]

@80lucile i went through the same thing too.don't worry,you'll get through it.ironically me and my ex-girlfriend saw them in concert. i wanted to be the one to but in the end i wasn't.we were dating for almost a year(broke up a week before) a week and a half later she got with a guy that i worked with.i saw them together and it broke me. i cried and was angry and i wished i was dead. in the end i accepted there was someone that i would love forever one day and it wasn't her. you'll find the one.

[Tripooch]

whats written on his guitar?

[loser7823]

@Tripooch Somewhere they fox trott madly

[diamondaldo]

i heard this song for the first time just recently. Then i had to look for it excessively on the net and i finally found out the song, lyrics, band etc. OMG this song word by words speaks my life`s story. I love her so fucking much, and everytime i see her the memories keeps rushing back. She moved on but im still where she left me. And i listen to this song every single day.

[xxxmissybellerxxx]

-3 it!

[NeoUrRuler]

Lucyyyy 3v³12 ytime ..... I nevrr wanted 2 leave Nott lik dat ....

[huberguelle]

Great song, just awesome!

I love the sound of his voice and the way how the band creates an atmosphere. U can totaly unterstand what they want to say...

[Amenoxiel]

First heard this song yeasterday evening. It was played on the Radion as the listeners choice 09. Great!

[assmichdurch]

this song became true last thursday... sometime around midnight it became painfully!

[arsenal0119]

[knoweyes]

[Lonewolfff36]

This song gets my blood boiling everytime

[nickludwig5]

12 people don't have ears

[video444]

The violinist is hot.

[partingbead]

La la la la la la la....better watch out for the skin deep..

[granvij]

Such a fantastic piece.

[Themichaelchackson]

art attacking, art breaking, sad but beautiful

boy meets girl, girl fell in love, boy loves girl, boy leaves girl, boy regrets.. but too late.. cause another live, another love.. might be better?

[zgavete]

singt mir aus der seele

[lNDlFFERENCE]

The room suddenly spinning

she walks up and asks how you are

so you can smell her perfume

you can see her lying naked in your arms

Listening to this song for months now and I don´t get tired. Everyone knows situations like this. Epic, huge, powerful song. Love it.

[arsenal0119]

@lNDlFFERENCE i've been listening to it since it came out around may 2009. still just as powerful

[ThePearlHuber]

Absoluter Wahnsinn...

[Willmuspop]

Captures the human condition, Shakespearean.

[groosterlesley]

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant.

[chrisschd]

I Love this Song!

[pawspaxx]

[TopDogCrowned65]

I would buy every single acoustic video released! if only they put it on a dvd oh my god i would be happy

[onedaylikethis]

I love how this song builds and builds and then suddenly it's all over.... the violins are epic!

[Droptiny7]

[221bhouse]

THE BEST ART EVER  !

[MeowViickaay]

[highpriestrsw2]

[langhower]

One word, or maybe two? Either way.. EP-fucking-IC

And it starts.. Sometime around midnight....

[McGriddlezs]

this song is hauntingly beautiful.

[MsSummerFruits]

@McGriddlezs Summed it up perfectly i'd say.

[rockandroll618]

@McGriddlezs its such a cliche but i absoulutely agree

[ClaimhSolais]

Then she leaves with someone you don't know.

But she made sure you saw her,

she looks right at you and bolts,

as she walks out the door,

your blood boiling, your stomach in ropes.

[rrroach21]

If anyone can find the tabs for the outro in the last few seconds, please let me know!! I'm DYING to play it!!

[27722700]

@rrroach21 i believe it ends in a D. Just play around with picking the strings in the same pattern he does. If it's not a D, it's a C.

[BaM123456789o]

Sand With So Much Emotion Perfect <3

[XillaCompany]

I think I've fallen in love with that girl in the front

[tubeyouviewer1984]

[sarahrules77x]

so good

[theredhaha]

perhaps she will make you whole~

[BABALIMJE]

Search in YouTube airborne toxic event rehearsal. He talks all about it.

[sss828283]

@BABALIMJE and if you bothered listening to the interview, he is talking about how and why he got into writing music. Not what the song is about.

[BABALIMJE]

He wrote this song because in the same week, His mom was had cancer, His long term girlfriend broke up with him, and he got autoimmune. very sad.

[sss828283]

@BABALIMJE What a load of bollox. Learn what it's really about before posting shit

[empfebecka]

...totally underrated this band!

just awesome version! <3

[theredhaha]

the love of my life sent me this vid. Now I love him even more...ty:)

[Garzvohg]

Hands down best version of this song.

[tubeyouviewer1984]

@Garzvohg Agreed. Words cant describe how beautiful this song is.

[huntnhickster911]

i first looked them up when i saw them on a late night talk show a few yrs back...ive been listening ever since!!! they are incredible!!!! keep it comin!!

[hoorider13]

Is this version available to download?

[ardaraith]

Class !

[Amandabearish]

YUP.

[SegaGT]

i put this on a playlist i made for my fiance

[MisterTheInsiders]

im listening to that every Day 5 times or more !!

[katzealelisal]

I love it !

[CalebCrain]

That's how you make a fucking song!

[TGArthur]

Such a powerful song...I can't stop listening to it.

[Robnbeantown]

cool , thankfully they still make good rock song this guy rocks and the girl on the voilyen . good for this band bring back the good day of rock

[corpsicles981]

i cant imagine how hard it is for him to sing this, even if this isnt a real situation, when you sing this song, its fells as if this is really happening to you and all you can really think about are these emotions invading you....the poor guy looks like hes about to cry

[goldenmug8]

@corpsicles981

The song is based on a real situation fyi...the whole song basically happened to the singer

[corpsicles981]

@goldenmug8 that sucks

[Amandabearish]

@goldenmug8 no way ..that never happens when people wright songs...lol

[Amandabearish]

@corpsicles981 don't be a pussy.

[azncookiepoops]

@corpsicles981 thats how music should be.. true emotion and feeling.. this all happened to him in real life so thats how their music makes sense and what makes it true music that wee have today. one of the very few

[Falco544]

@corpsicles981 the reason why he wrote this song is because of how his mom was dying of cancer and he wanted to remember her in some way. So its good reason

[ohthevansanity]

@Falco544 Mikel wrote the song while he locked himself in his house for three days straight after the events described in the song happened to him. so yeah. to everyone who had doubts, the song is a true story. Read Mikel talking about it here: shmoop DOT com / sometime-around-midnight / meaning

[zwerghaus1988]

Habe lang nicht mehr so ein geiles Lied gehört!!! Wahnsinns Text und Hammer Gesang!! Der Sänger bringt es total geil rüber! Er muss wohl die Geschichte am eigenen Leibe erfahren haben um so gut zu "erzählen"

5 Sterne!!!!

[80lucile]

@zwerghaus1988 speak english!

[toimisto1234]

I love the way this video is shot. HD version would be great... Oh, and the song is fucking amazing!

[TheBridgieful]

This song is beautiful

[DrNickels]

You can just tell from this performance that the lead singer is completely reliving this moment in his mind as he performs. It's just freaking amazing!

[JRProTuts15]

love this song.
