  • this is real sad, yeah kate was bullied at school but I heard that this song is a true story and james died in the fight with the 3 boys ;[ so awfully sad :[ :[ :[

  • I won a competition for this,u had 2 make a video to it and our school won! we won 500 poundz !

  • Love this so much.

    For me, she wipes the floor with Kyle. I also adore the fact that she's not tried to cover up her accent. Makes her so original. The song's just awesome! Love it :D

  • I love the song, but com'on! That looks like a meth lab, or have I been watching too much "Breaking bad"?

  • is this a ture story or is the story just made up to fit the song??

  • She is my aunt. -.-'' She's my father's stepbrother's wive's brother's wife.

    She comes to sing at some of the weddings our family have.

  • naaawww soo sweet she remebered :) James is a lucky guy :) :) :)

  • @minimascal really?!

  • James should have just Caseyd those bullies!

  • Realy powerful song QQ

    

  • really strong song have to sing it at school for choir and everytime i sing it i cry

  • @racheljanefitzgerald Do you guys sing festival of music 2011?

  • @racheljanefitzgerald Our school had to sing it in choir too, for our anti-bully day... and aww, it's hard crying in school, aint it? And so awkward.

  • we did this song it english and wow it made EVERYONE think

  • Did this actually happen to her?

  • @Galvin139 Yes it's a true story and she didn't change a thing about what haooennd

  • @Galvin139 yes thats why it's sooo sweet :)

  • Really would like to know what Jame's reaction was when he first heard this song.

  • I think I like this song so much cos i wish someone would say sorry to me!!!

    

  • National Anti-bullying Day - 18th March 2011.

  • @kittykataquarius Bullying is the cruelest thing in someones life

    i have spent a lfieitime trying to fic me, now fix me kids its not nice

  • Love this song 

  • Comment removed

  • Today in school we actually listened to this song in Religion!! :D We were talking about leaning on people when you're not strong and we listened to this song and I was singing along!!! XD

  • @halenaredvance same! do you go to Newman College?

  • @mattymoo1998 Yeah! Who are you?

  • After being bulled by one person through out my schooling life, on our last day of school he came up to me after hearing this song, shook my hand and sincerely apologised for everything he had done.

    Amazing to see how lyrics can change peoples lives

  • @traviszildjianbarker wow. after being bullied by the same guy my whole primary school life, he came to me on our last day of school and said "Your so fat, your never going to make any friends in high school." I will always remeber him as that kind of person. I think, if i see him in 10 years, i will slap him in the face. I hope he hears this song, and the lyrics hit him as much as your bully did.

  • @traviszildjianbarker I would of dropped that cunt like casey heynes

  • Why wouldn't she use her "accent". American and English accents sound as strange to us Aussies as the aussie one does to Americans and the English. Our "accent' is perfectly fine, and KMH has sung this song superbly.

  • @MrNotSoGreat I love the Aussie Accent! I love Missy Higgins in her songs too. I'm English btw. Two very talented Aussie girls. :oD

  • imagine how the kid felt when she walked away....

  • @GwasTurtIes

    yeah my best friend did tht so i no how it feels

  • this song is a good song to use in schools to get a message about bullying accross

  • Brilliant talent. Please support Alex Parks who wasn't given the proper opportunity.

  • A genuinely beautiful song. I cry whenever I hear it.

  • Such a top chick, have never heard a more genuine, heartfelt song. Big up Kate Miller Heidke, if only every chick in the world was like her.

  • this makes me proud to be Australian.

  • The setting of this song was my form room for school.

  • @mhale55 yeah lab 7 wasn't it

  • I swear her facial structure looks different in every video

  • this song makes me want to cry

  • good song <3

  • @jeemzy...

    I love the fact she uses an Aussie accent, I'm an Aussie too (North QLD ftw). She wrote this song about herself, SHE was the one bullied at school, I saw in an interview with her. I think it's the apology she got from her friend.

  • i sing this for festival chior! i absoultly love it!!!

  • @goldencrush1 sop or alto?

    im alto

    south aussie rox

  • i love this song

  • Comment removed

  • i have to sing this at chior

  • great song absoloutly love it but whats with her always holding up her hands ?

  • bitch.

  • @TheyCallMeNewb

    shut up! there is nothing wrong with the australian accent! we are proud aussies and speak how we want! and i'm sure you would say the same about your country's accent.

  • Saw her at Ben Folds tour in Southampton...again incredible! Brought the album and was foolishly star struck when she signed it haha

  • This song is full of goodness and squishy rainbows...meow .

  • i saw her live today! Touring with ben Folds :D was amazing.

  • @JordanMANISM Same Man ! Manchester Apollo ?? I loved his solo ! Class  support act !

  • This is a beautiful song, saw her last night supporting ben folds, she's a great talent

  • @stjimmi89 me too! she was absolutely fanbloodytastic! I like her live better than her cd though. I was literally stood there half the time with my mouth hanging open, its so great to see someone with actual talent in this age of autotune!

  • Love tht she dsnt try and cover up her awesome Aussie accent <3

  • @TheyCallMeNewb You have your opinions, but it looks like you could have kept your mouth shut because you have a lot of aussies wanting to bash you, including me (;

    100% Aussie & Proud.

  • Saw her at Hammersmith Apollo supporting Ben Folds. As lovely as her music is....the fact that she is classically trained and wants to brag about it every chance she gets annoys me. Aussies are alright, kiwis are better. Lol Joke I'm not being racist oooh.

  • Saw her at Ben Folds in Dublin Ireland on Friday. She was awesome.

  • @lance43 We were there too... One of the best live vocalists I've ever heard. Stunning.

  • Omg this song makes me sad but its addicting

  • Heard this on the radio today for the first time, i like it i think it's a great song......

  • she makes me proud to be australian i used to really not like her but i realise that she is amazing and i love her :) like if your australian or want to be ;)

  • best song ever, <3

  • 0:01

  • She makes me proud of being Australian , shes AMAZING ♥

  • Comment removed

  • i adore the Australian accent. i wish i was Australian :')

  • @Dimily69 YOU ROCK, lovely words ( not sarcasm) :)

  • Before kidding Australians, arrogant Americans should think about their terrible accents and that they don't own the "perfect english". You're not from Oxford guys so shut up!

    I'm from Italy, Europe and we all know about the big lack of culture in Usa.

  • I used this video with my grade 7 class !! Emotive!! Well done, Kate.

  • u know this is true??? james was always bullied a lot t school, and kate Miller Heidke was the only one nice to him, but she could not stand up and tell something to the bullies cause she thought that she will get bullied too, so now she is saying sorry to james for not saying anything to the bullies

  • @123nicepretty yeah right....i highly doubt you were in her class...

  • Comment removed

  • KateMiller-HeidkeIsJustSoMuchM­oreAwesomeThanANYONEINTHEWORLD­.

    Ahem.

    Sorry, spaz there. :D

    I<3Her. ;x;

  • why is she not more famous?!

  • I'm from Australia, and I happen to love the fact she used her accent in this. It's real and it's genuine. I wish someone had apologized to me in such a heartfelt way about how they treated me in school, but I'm not holding my breath for it. Whoever and wherever James is, this song would have had him forgive her to the hilt. He's a very lucky lad to have been remembered all these years. Even luckier still that she was remorseful.

  • @jeemzy

    She was james... shes singing about her experience

  • Sexy

  • i love her hair! <3

  • @TheyCallMeNewb Don't make fun of the Aussie accent. You don't want all the Aussies on YT on your back TRUST ME ON THIS.

  • This chick should be so much more famous than what she is atm...

  • Sixty five people are retarded at using a mouse.

  • this song makes me think my boy friend made a mistake and that i should not had dumpt him for not helping me :(...................

    if you see this plz take me back babe love jessie s

  • did you know this is so much like me

  • wow I wish my Bullies would sing an apology song to me, that would be awesome, then give me half their earnings and make me famous along with them....

  • amazing song with a amazing vid!!!

    almost every time i se it i almost have to cry!!!

    love it!!

  • I just love that she's so honest here. Not many people would willingly admit to the whole world that they messed up and hurt someone like that. :)

  • how the bloody hell does this video have less than 1 million views?

  • purely amazing ;

  • True friends stick by eachother no matter what happens. :)

  • @TheyCallMeNewb ahahahahaahahaha you are so typical. She is far from the typical australian stereotype, and I don't particularly like my accent (australian) but there's nothing wrong with it because i grew up with it like a lot of people and i was raised to be civilised and not be racist because it's pointless and stupid and it won't get you anywhere in life.

  • if this is true it took place at my school. i hope it didn't, i can't imagine anyone could be so common, it's sad.

  • This "James" seems to me...

  • I seriously hope that James hears or has heard this. Poor guy.

  • :'(

  • ...is crying my god i love this song :')

  • cant believe she just left him there

  • This is such a moving song, it's so true. Kate's hair looks great blonde :)

  • @SmexiiBiiaaatchs Aussies additudes are my like "ahhh she'll be right" not " ahhh you dont like Aussies im ganna knock ya out!"

  • @SmexiiBiiaaatchs now that is true =D

  • <<< Hopes James is ok

  • @enhshammy James is a fictional being created to represent all the tormented people of the world. This is an anti-bullying song.

  • @SvBrothersProduction

    even more i am a bully victom YES AM, NOT WAS, AM!!

  • @TheyCallMeNewb Don't be a fucker you bitch. Aussie accents are awesome. I'm an Aussie and proud of it so go fuck yourself. >:(

  • @TheyCallMeNewb thats racist

  • @TheyCallMeNewb theres nothing wrong with the aussie accent CUNT! keep you little thoughts to urself!

  • good song but annoying video

  • @TheyCallMeNewb you were born ugly. Its unfortunate. Yuck we should never ever see your face in life. Get over yourself man. Regardless, look at how far shes gone in life. You're still stuck here. On Youtube. Being a pessimist. lol. You are failing at life.

  • reminds me of my shitty life :|

  • @ImASmartCookie

    It gets better dude.

  • @TheyCallMeNewb im Aussie there is nothin wrong with our accent, and she sould be proud of the accent

  • @demonpigy1

    Aussie Accents are awesome!

  • @demonpigy1 no body cares

  • @demonpigy1 I'm English and my g/f is Australian. I LOVE my g/f, I love the Australian Accent and I love Australia. :oD

  • this is a cute song :D

  • my school did a dance-play thing to this song and it was so sad some of the teachers and parents cried

  • @TheyCallMeNewb There is nothing wrong with the Aussie accent dude, don't be a retard...

  • when she says she just walked away..she doesnt seem sorry..she seems proud.

    i think this is sad..i cried through this..

  • I always cry when I hear this.

  • 0:00 to skip the ads. (:

  • and then she says "I was bullied at school too – but no-one’s ever said ‘sorry’ to me, those arseholes!”

  • This is what she says its about "James exists, but his name’s not James. I haven’t been in contact with him since the song came out. The thing is, the story is drawn from a lot of truths, shreds of truths all woven together to create the story, but it’s not word for word. It’s not a literal retelling of anything I went through or that Keir went through. ‘James’ is a universal character – he’s the most unpopular kid at school and every school has one of those. And so that’s what he represents"

  • witch ones

    were the good ones

    been a long day

  • Correct me if im wrong, but has anyone thought that Kate could have been “James” and that she is singing this song from a different point of view?

    Kate’s just brilliant!

  • @anetakat19

    Yeah, she is correct.. Anetakat19.

    Kate was bullied when she was younger. It's not fair to be tormented and I really don't understand why people do it. Don't you know how this can effect peoples' life? Seriously this is her story and kids like her.

    I know what it's liked to be bullied every single day pretty much. It sucks. Some people deal with it differently.

    Some people like me deal with it through music and writing or reading.

    I hate bullying.

  • @MsBitch268 Yeah, what is it about chicks 

  • @cliptwingz

    Have no idea..

  • @MsBitch268 named Kate?

  • She seems a bit too cheerful in the video. Kate, try looking a little more humble when apologising. Great song though.

  • @RagingQuietFury

    She is not apologizing, trust me she isn't.

    This is what happened to her. She is just writing it from another point of view.

  • This video and song has given me some insight into the bullying bystanders, who witness the bullying and say nothing. I now understand the actions (or lack thereof) of some people I went to school with. Some people may think she's left it too late to speak out, but I argue that if it changes just one person's life for the better then it is never too late.

  • what a bitch, i dont care that she realises she was wrong now, by high school you know what right and wrong are, am i the only person who thinks this

  • @MrYeahman007 Don't know if you the only one, but I DONT AGREE WITH YOU

    Let it go, she is sorry for her past.... show compassion to a fellow human being. Without compassion we are nothing!

  • @MrYeahman007

    She is James. She isn't apologizing, she was James. This happened to her..

  • shes hot

  • :( such a sad storryy :(( <3

  • Don't hate the cartoons. She is 'reminiscing'. I think they're affective

  • Sad song...But if it wasn't cartoons, Prob would of cryed.

  • @ThisGal09

    i know sadd as other acacount for (natalieandyasmyn)

  • Great job at QMF!

  • She reminds me of Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter

  • ded gud song i think she she sounds british but i kno shes aussie she could make a difference

  • this makes me sad..its a very sad song..

  • is this a true story ??? well its fantastic

  • @greenfruitrocks it is a true story aswell as a universal story, it was based on her story when she turned her back aswell as her getting bullied herself.

  • omfg great tune but this woman has a self-absorbed little princess complex

  • When she sings 'and he called out my name', it send shivers down my spine. Her voice is just.... well it leaves my speechless.

  • I love her and her singing. She has fantastic fashion, a perfect voice, and she is gorgeous. She makes us Aussies feel so proud of her.

    You rule Kate!

  • @PianoGirl4eva I didn7t know she was Aussie lol. That's cool :)

  • @SamInNiHon Yupp. She makes me proud to be Australian.
