[TheSharonuppal1]

AMAZING SONG !!!!

[JamesKAnalyzing]

[MrEjemploanonimo]

Does this remind of Lost to anyone else?

[Mattseno101]

the guitarist went to my school.trippy!

[Phleeper]

Sorry to sound like a typical inarticulate Bieber fan, but I LOOOOOOOOOOOVEEE Editors.

[scotiapug]

[arnold8100]

[MegaSte1972]

which fucking knobheads don't like this ?

[LightsOfBohemia]

0:29 It always looks to me like Russell is grabbing a shotgun lol

[LilTwirlettexxx]

I had never really bothered with Editors before this song, but a friend recommended it to me, and I'm so glad he did! It is such an amazing song, and I love the meaning behind it :) well at least my personal interpretation of it!

Simply put, I LOVE Editors & expecially this song! ♥

[jelkiii]

such a marvelous voiceeee

[HelloIamBarnsy]

Is this good? Nah. Great? Nah. Epic? OH YEAAH!

[edenkazin]

SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lauramae1994]

Its funny because i know Tom Smith's mum and dad personally. He looks nothing like them xD

[Tellthemoff]

In the last years I didn't found something thet could be defined REAL music but Editors. Thank to them, I was rassured....music still live.

[rmorcn]

great rock'n roll in it, this is REAL music, and who does not agree can go and sell potatoes.

[dc0rleone14]

hate it or love it, and i sure as hell love this song.

[MarisaShorty]

I dance like a crazy person at the chorus, love this song sooo much.

[timmyaful]

seen them live last year...what a night!!! recommend them bigtime!

[MyDadsMusic1]

Fucking amazing!!! Yes He was in Interpol, Anyone who finds this boring, or a rip-off needs their head examined!!!!

[MarisaShorty]

wow

[marcinjbus]

anyone noticed that they sound just like Interpol !?

[Geshreeyeh]

Curse me all you want, but I think this a sh*t-boring song with meaningless cr*p lyrics. Just heard it on the radio and I thought it was The Killers (another band who should just go away).

[hugthepoohbear]

@Geshreeyeh what's boring about an intricate riff, great drumming and a deep, soleful voice??? And ambiguous lyrics aren't meaningless- you're meant to decide what they mean for yourself...

[Scarletton]

@Geshreeyeh all the time i read comment like this i would like to ask that person what he listens to,what is not in his opinion boring shit and what lyrics are not crap,can you give us an example pretty please:)

[Geshreeyeh]

@Scarletton Sure, seeing as you asked so nicely. Songs I have been enjoying recently include halleluhah and Hiding All Away by Nick cave and the Bad Seeds, Lavender Hill by The Real Tuesday Weld, Not the Same by Ben Folds, Dick Around by Sparks, Southside of the World by Bonnie Prince Billy and Love etc. by The Pet Shop Boys (oh, and Deeply Dippy by Right Said Fred).

[Xehanort11]

@Geshreeyeh This song boring? That makes no sense at all. I totally agree with hugthepoobear! And the lead singers of the Killers and the Editors have completely different voices. You should come up with good arguments, otherwise you should be the one to go away.

If you don't like this song, why do you listen to it?

[Geshreeyeh]

@Xehanort11 It was on the radio and I didn't have the option to switch it off. Get over it, it's just my opinion. Ignore me.

[rowanmcd]

I like turtles

[MCNOISE666]

Rip-off merchants...

[cArIsMaTic0o5721]

molaa!!

[st3voify]

this vid reminds me of muse- muscle museum's video cuz they r in neighbourhoods :P

[PlugedInBaby]

@st3voify Yeah xD I love both songs

[mrtictac94]

Released on my birthday? BEST PRESENT EVER!

[xxlivenoworneverxx]

[nelapsidarkangel]

This band is fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[soweet4eva]

their best song

[014538]

the lead singer went to my school and his parents still teach there.

[zoopezoop]

Why are all the highest rated comments related to the dislike button? How about we start giving the people who post the imaginative and articulate comments a bit of praise?

[WatchUProductions]

@zoopezoop Ooohhh the irony.

But yes, you're right.

[R3v3rs3s]

@zoopezoop Well... thats because theres just not enough...

[fgryson]

@zoopezoop Is this Irony?

[grasmaker]

How, in the name of god, can 131 people dislike this o.O... IT'S FUCKING GENIUS!

[SeriouslyRandom20]

I love this song so much

[artia1982]

Tom has got the most beautiful voice I've ever heard! (and the face to die for btw) :o)

[d4m1en]

@MrStarbuck123 he has a penis?

[xoxNadeshxox]

@d4m1en i don't think so

[HARDCOREnl1337]

@MrStarbuck123 shemale alert!!!!!

[MexxColpeas]

@MrStarbuck123 he doesn`t have any...

[smelvin1994]

@MrStarbuck123 well there aint a bar any more so u can stop making shitty jokes

[MrStarbuck123]

@smelvin1994 I put that comment 3 months ago

[gurrflapoo]

Tom is too amazing for words! But i must say I prefer him with a beardy thing... Moviestar handsome!

[connorjoe4]

thts a feckin good circle

[LightsOfBohemia]

Tom: Hey there, little girl. What are you drawing?

Girl: THE END IS NEAR! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Tom: Oh, ok.

[Madhijz]

@LightsOfBohemia

[grasmaker]

[Michaelmop]

@Madhijz Hey Apocalyptica is a good band.

[Madhijz]

@Michaelmop You probably missread my post

[Michaelmop]

[ClemCQD]

[jaigalaar97]

I LOVE EDITORS!

[MothRoom]

@yoshigura

why, because it's turned into another suburban soft rock group? shit!

[kaftoskaitsiou]

Who cares if interpol are better or not??

[lbomb8]

@kaftoskaitsiou interpol's live show is weak. editors live shot..not weak.

[robertgreally]

@lbomb8 i've editors live 4 times now, editors are one of weakest live bands ive ever seen and ive seen interpol. they are both as bad as each other live...

[cwebbfan]

INTERPOL IS MUCH BETTER!!! (so are the White Lies)

[NHBEY39]

@cwebbfan WTF has Interpol got to do with this??? Fucking stupid comment.

[cwebbfan]

@NHBEY39 Nige Hatch, stupid name

[NHBEY39]

@cwebbfan You clearly have the intellect to outwit anyone on here! How could i pick a fight with a man with such intelligence!!! Of course i am joking!!! You're so fucking dumb the only benefit of your existence is you're a reminder to people they need to add a cabbage to their shopping list.

[EXLAsteryz]

@cwebbfan they both have songs better then the others average....

[AidanLod]

@cwebbfan then fuck off

[cwebbfan]

@AidanLod eyeluvu1000 ?????

[DanielMcDrtcomposer]

fuckin great tune.

[lauraheartsdmusic]

brilliant at Glastonbury.... 'I keep up with the racing rats and do my best to win'

[Spinoraptorrex]

Saw them live as a special guest at a Muse concert. Fucking great!

[wouterbo1]

go editors :)

[derfel1973]

@blakscull , maybe not in this song but if you take "all sparks" you could play it with Joy Division "dead souls" and never notice the difference. Anyway i'0m not criticizing..actually i love them...i'm just happy this post-punk sound is back to new life.

[xDieNoob]

Saw them saterday @ MUSE they we're awsome!

Gr8 preformance and gr8 voice!

[javipi92]

I was the wednesday in the concert os muse and the editors played before and i can say that they are great band of music and they have a good direct

[mauddios1]

with our chemistry lesson this video was used to show the eclipse.

well I never liked chemistry and I never will, but this song made the lesson for once nice to be in.

[mingpowman76]

Is it me or dont they sound exactly the same as Interpol. Both singers sound exactly the same as Ian Curtis out of Joy Division. Joy Division were great but this miserableist stuff makes me wanna grab my teddy and cry myself to sleep.

[AnAvailibleUsername]

I'm here due to the complements they got for their performance in Israel, and now I see why!

[BKiller94]

I actually don't know these guys...but their a side act at muse so im gonna check if their good :D

[xoLisan]

Amazing! (L)

[Zyhro]

I avoided this song for a while because my chief at work played this song just to many times.. but now i realize it was totally deserved. Perfect voice, perfect song..

[YouSuckS4life]

the singer sounds alot like Depeche mode :P

[zmuppetz2]

One of the most epic video clips ever... I just love it so much <3 And the song is so perfect...

[120Vanquish120]

What happened to Editors? I used to love their music, they were my favourite band. I saw them live at Leeds in 2008 and they were brilliant. Ever since their last techno inspired album I've just lost interest.

I usually like bands which change their sound and experiment like U2, Radiohead and Coldplay. Please Editors go back to the good ol' days.

[TheGentlemansShadow]

That guitar. Rarely does a more pleasurable sound pass my ears.

[wardster10]

If a plane was to fall from the sky, how big a whole would it leave?

About a twin towers sized hole?

[Lenjaful]

This is just awsome. =3

Editors is one of the greatest rockbands :)

[ieldepiel]

one of the greatest guitar riffs man

[ALLNAMESAREALLREADYT]

guitar is amazing ! this song is awesome

[BADAROSCKY]

Simple Beutiful Song .... F**k The Gaga POP .... Rock Is Not Dead

[ohmiabelamadunina]

@BADAROSCKY  YEAHH!!! Fuck the bitches like lady gaga

Rock rules

[rad3212001]

Wow!! I love this Joy Division song!!  Oops, I mean Editors.

[bryngOneOn]

@rad3212001 if ur going to make musical comparisons, i would say they r of the same genre as interpol and from there r.e.m and it all comes full circle seeing as r.e.m covered the editor's munich track on one of that awful jo whiley show's (may it rest in piece) live sessions a couple of years back, all ur goin on is singers voices havin similar tones

[rad3212001]

@bryngOneOn ........good point. Anyway, I love Joy Division and thought he sounded like the singer Ian Curtis....that's his name, right?

[bryngOneOn]

@rad3212001 im not trying to educate u so no need to prompt me with me telling u singers names, i guess though if ur going to be compared to anyone, theres no shame in being compared to musical icons, and it's all subjective isnt it, if someone compared them to abba, if they believe that, then its their view, its not wrong, sorry if i came across preachy, take care

[rad3212001]

@bryngOneOn ......I actually drink when I write on here...so no, I take no offense to anything, later man.

[dezz1911]

good

[ViraLights]

Does anyone know where they filmed this? Looks like somewhere in SoCal.

[ramses86]

I believe the vid was shot outside of LA. that's what was said in an interview

[lidstrom82]

It seems like I hear a lot of "the Editors are just a Joy Division ripoff"...Joy Division doesn't have a claim on a certain vocal style, and I personally much prefer the Editors' music, as do lots of other people.

[Kikyuras]

This is a good song.

[Zangarmash]

well, this is poetry!:) awesome!

[NikkyMonroe]

They remind me so much of Interpol I love his voice :)

[redragon200]

my knob is enormous

[AnnaDraconida]

Stunning.

[Marypeter18]

The little girl is so cute. I love that song, Tom Smith is awesome.

[SquallBerserk]

Interpol and Editors are my favorite bands :)

[chrizmeister1992]

i've seen them couple of days ago in antwerp they are awesome:)

[garfreeek]

@chrizmeister1992 spelen ze nog veel van het vorige album? ben gek op on this light, maar die vorige blijft toch me'n favoriet ^_^

[chrizmeister1992]

@garfreeek jaja ze spelen nog een hoop van het vorige album:) twas egt een geweldig optreden:) vn plan om te gaan zien?

[garfreeek]

@chrizmeister1992 werchter dit jaar! maar de maat die ik mee had genomen vond het werkelijk verschrikkelijke muziek (hij wist eigenlijk niet wat er nou verschillend was aan de nummers xD)

maar mischien houd 'ie wel van het nieuwe werk, of we gaan naar jack johnson = P

[chrizmeister1992]

@chrizmeister1992

[eggevanderleij]

Wil iemand kaartjes kopen voor het concert in de HMH vanavond??

zoek op marktplaats naar:

[spunkyfunky587]

This is an AMAZING SONG! His voice IS GREAT! I love it!

[bluemooncharo]

tony, gracias.Sigue sorprendiendome..

[lizardkingist]

I'll go see they.

[theMacvarish]

I heard this playing in a record shop and bought the cd. Pehaps, they were influenced by Joy Division, but they are fucking good anyway. And if you are going to be compared to someone, why not one of the most original bands who ever walked the earth ? Haha,in 10 years, someone else will be told they sound like the Editors.

[vds54r43]

Wow, boring...

[LaLaurenMichelle]

Something really draws me to this band...

[Lolzorro]

@LaLaurenMichelle I had the same feeling when I heard them for the first time..

[MrMoneymadManiac]

creepy ending...

[MrCotopaxi]

nice song

[gundish]

just brilliant. . .

[tim0371]

i like the song!!!

[MrLiljoker013]

the little girl look kinda scary but this is a cool video and tht kool cause the of eclispe

\;;/ (º.º) \;;/ rock lol

[basspad1986]

eclipse XD!!!

[mothershipmdear]

I think Editors are greatt, I definitely hear the Ian Curtis thing about his voice, and the cover of "The Back Room" reminds me so much of Joy Division's "Closer" album cover.

[preadman83]

i agree great voice brilliant live up their wiv doves

[deppaddiction]

This is their best song, it's SO powerful

[xD3MENT1Ax]

Why do they die at the end?

[knabbel1045]

becus everyone dies

[SilenceJude]

mm this voice)))

i like it)))

[rjets42]

buccigross , avery anyone?

[thekilladave101]

out of a rough 3000 people how could 199 people not like this song... =(

[EatTheTele]

I like 'Papillon' a lot, but Joy Division seems a little out of these guys' league. Editors songs lack a bit of variety, and the lyrics -however straightup- lack ingenuity and poetic worth. Just an opinion.

[alkalinetrio751]

nice song for sure

[00Franca00]

thank You for Jarocin it Was reallly rock no matter what...Poland

[banditDOG11]

editors, interpol and joy division nuff said

[bombifier]

@banditDOG11 omg i totally agree :D

[ddemonicflame]

oh no i accidentally rated it 1* i can't cancel it it's worth 5*

Actually it's worth way more than 5*, but that isn't an option. :P

[frijmann]

@ddemonicflame:

Never mind, the total is still close to 5*.

[ArchangelProduction5]

I can appreciate that they are talented musicians and make great music but the ripping off of Joy Division i can't forgive. Fair enough if they were inspired, but at least admit it - don't pretend you never heard of Ian Curtis. What a load of bollocks.

I'm 22 - not some old bitter diehard - and even I can see that JD are the true original sound and were also a much better band. This lead singer aint got shit on Ian!

[blakscull]

where are they ripping off joy division? joy division dosnt sound anything like this, sure they have similar voice, but, dont blame him/them Tom was born with that voice.

[ArchangelProduction5]

lol if u cant hear Joy Division in Editors ur stupid as fuck

[blakscull]

and you are saying that if it sounds similar its a rip off, im stupid? then i cant imagine what are you

[MGWorldwide]

@blakscull

there's also something to be said for the fact that we got what, 2 album and 4 years of activity out of Ian Curtis *cough* before I was born *cough*

I wouldt call it "ripping off" so much as being kindred spirits and being kindred spirits of a good thing, especially a rare and depleted good thing, is a grat thing.

just my 2 cents.

[peanutbrittle50]

@blakscull He was born with it? Shit, that must have been one manly baby.

[blakscull]

@peanutbrittle50 yes he was, scare the shit out the doctors

[SquallBerserk]

@blakscull They say the same shit about Interpol, bands like these can't be compared.

[jesslin72]

@blakscull

Just totally agreed. Joy Divison was a great band though.

[jonnylazer]

@blakscull their whole last album (I know this isnt on it) sounded like a joy division tribute, which is no bad thing...postscript IN MY OPINION

[Cosmopavone]

@blakscull

No thery are not ripping from JD, they are ripping from the Chameleons but not as much as Interpol
