  • i just learned how to tie a tie from him. sweet :D

  • i learnt how to do my tie til i took an arrow to my knee

  • @dean0600 no

  • haha that's what i thought. "Wow, i can tie and tie now." And then "I want to be him!" haha:D

  • 10 people haven't felt the love of an orchestra

  • great video, great song fantastic band seen them live in Glasgow truly outstanding

  • why would you run from hope? is there an explanation to this?

  • @TheFunkyRabit “Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torment of man.” Friedrich Nietzsche

  • That tie, is pretty damn cool.

  • I keep reading that this is about suicide, but does anyone have a source for that? It's definitely not obvious from the lyrics. In the meantime, I'll just coninue enjoying the song as it is \o/

  • 1:42 < i was like... what the hell. haha great work

  • if you gotta run run from home

  • @asdfsadcvzxcz Hope

  • Thanks to this video, I think I am actually looking forward to been old!

  • so perfect :)

  • And thanks to Captain Yate's valiant efforts, the Silurian colonies of the home counties ran from Earth and lived on Pluto.

  • i hope you guys know this song well enough to understand this song is about suicide, true noah and the whale fan right here <---

  • @bingwingching1234567 what makes you think this is about suicide?

  • @thosenightswrong because they've said it, and it says, if you gotta run, run from hope, meaning getting away from trying to hold on and survive through the troubles anymore, do your research.

  • @bingwingching1234567 okaaay its just that it isnt obvious from the lyrics, don't freak out

  • Mike was just too sensitive for the Regular Army, so he joined U.N.I.T.

  • So this is what Captain Yates does in his spare time

  • Richard Franklin is amazing!

  • Love Richard Franklin! Such an awesome person!

  • If you gotta run run from hope!

  • I fucking love ties.

  • There seems to be absolutely nothing better than Noah and the Whale.

    Ahh, I have the love of an orchestra when it comes to them <3

  • Great song. Just been introduced to Noah and the whale. Interesting Band. What's the video about?!

  • The song where they make clear what this album is al about.

  • whose with me to track down the 10 bastards that pressed the dislike button

  • Blimey! It's Mike Yates from Doctor Who (Pertwee era). Nice to see that he's still sprightly.

  • @Barber2262 What, senile and delusional?

  • This makes me SO happy!

    "I know I'll never be lonely, i've got songs in my bood!" :D

  • I love old people lol

  • I think it would be impossible not to smile to this song and video.

  • Love this song but it reminds me of the dolphin song from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

  • This song is INCREDIBLE. 

  • Dance of the year award? I think so.

  • @krappycone I second that nomination.

  • Go old guys!

  • The Happiness of this song.

  • Wow. Gorgeus song, gorgeus man, gorgeus video, that just became one of my favourites. I don't say it's perfect, but it's not supposed to be. It's lovely.

  • Thanks to this video, I learned how to tie a tie. Yay!

  • @domschatzan Exactly what I was thinking ;)

  • @domschatzan me to!!!

    

  • this is how I feel every time I listen to this song..

  • God damn it. I used to think this song was happy, then I watched the movie, and I can never look at it the same way.

  • @Misterkans What movie??

  • @ThereforeImSarah probably talking about Noah and the Whale's movie called First Days of Spring available in the deluxe album version or on Vimeo =)

  • There is absolutely no possible way to be unhappy while watching this video and even just listening to the song. Noah and the Whale has made me smile yet again. :)

  • This video was filmed on my parents tennis court. Random!

  • The Best. it mames me smile again and again

  • :) great stuff.

  • at the end whats she holding

  • they could make a great soundtrack a movie

  • This is perfection in its simplest form.

  • Listen to "Gone Troppo" by George Harrison, they sound awfully similar.

  • I absoluty love this whole album, the perfect cd to listen to when you have broken up with someone

  • @Bennjimin That's art! =) Embrace the euphoric brilliance!

  • @alexbongo1 Seeing the bottle of what looks like brandy and the cup next to him, I'd say no. He's probably drunk.

  • This song sounds like the intro song to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

  • Haha, this song is so gay..

  • @emandude definitly not gay... it's so cool!

    And NATW are awesome

  • @emandude I'll take that as a complement unless you can convince me that being gay is a bad thing.

  • @InNewMusicWeTrust1 I'm not complementing anyone. I don't care if a bunch of you fags are gonna get pissed off; I just don't like this song.

  • @emandude I dont mind you not likeing this song, i do mind useing gay as an insult

  • @InNewMusicWeTrust1 I don't really give a shit. I mind you not knowing how to fucking spell.

  • @emandude Im dyslexic, Whats your excuse for being a biggot?

  • @InNewMusicWeTrust1 That's a shit excuse. You can try harder. I'm not a bigot; I'm not politically correct.

  • @emandude if by "gay" you mean cheery and pleasant, then yes it is very gay :)

  • @emandude

    your mother must hate you, aye mate?

  • @ThatweirdkidDom Yeah, I give that impression by the things I say on a video-sharing website. Since you watched the video, you must like to suck dick. Asshole..

  • @emandude

    so i was right then ;).

    and well.

    you watched the video.

    i guess we're in this boat together.

    so let's hookup?

    YES.

  • @ThatweirdkidDom Didn't confirm your accusation. Fuckin' weirdos, man. Dunno what this world's comin' to...

  • @emandude "Weirdos", says the person who searches Youtube videos for no reason other than to attempt to insult it and everyone else by calling them gay. You seem to really hate the idea of homosexuality. Do you hate it out of extreme insecurity, not knowing just how straight you really are? It's usually the only reason anyone ever has. What ThatweirdkidDom said is right. You think watching this video makes you a faggot? Why the hell do you keep coming back to comment? Replying proves you're gay.

  • @azimuth457 Ha, you're almost as delusional as you are fucktarded.

  • @emandude Replying means you must indeed enjoy coming back to a "gay" video time and time again. What exactly is delusional about my logic? You didn't argue it in any way, just tried to insult my intelligence...which is just plain ironic, isn't it? Oh, and go back to school. That way you can learn a vocabulary and insult people with real words instead of made-up ones.

  • @azimuth457 I keep coming back just to give you something else to do besides sucking cock.

    Also, if you're so damn smart, you wouldn't have put an ellipses where it doesn't belong. How do you learn "a vocabulary"? You might have meant, "Go to school to improve your vocabulary." Is that what you meant? Remember this: being gay does not give you an automatic "intelligence" chip on your shoulder.

  • @emandude The ellipsis was correctly used as a pause in speech. You did mean ellipsis right? Looks like we've both got some interesting errors in our comments, but you're still the one using made-up words. Besides, I never claimed to be intelligent; I didn't even claim to be more intelligent than you. After all, intelligence isn't measured by one's vocabulary in the first place. The point is: why is everyone viewing this video instantly gay? Your trolling just makes no sense...

  • FAKE!

  • @reachinforthesun makes complete sense ;-)

  • I imagine this in my head when I dance to music. Isn't the home of your imagination such a fun place to live ^-^

  • Had a horrible weekend. But watching this today, life feels right.

    Thank you for making something, that no matter how down you're feeling can bring you back to a place where you can smile.

  • i know ill never be lonely

    i got songs in my blood

    im carrying all the love of an orchestra

    (L)

  • what do they mean with

    if you got to run run from hope...

    seems like you should do the opposite?

  • I plan to be just like this when I am old. :)

  • I just learned to tie a tie!

  • LOVE THIS

  • This song makes me happy, even when i'm down.

  • lol wth? haha nice song but this makes it hilarious

  • I like how the chair splits apart, too.

  • Men only have fun once their wife dies?

    o.o

  • @Puppenspielsmeister you do notice what hes drinking right?...

  • @RichardHeim97 I do

  • I love old persons, which enjoy they live!! :)

  • Looooooooooove

  • This video is amazing, in a long long time I haven't listened to anything so good combined with such a funny video. LOVE IT!!!

  • I love this bit.

  • Haha, random! This was filmed on my parent's tennis court last year.

  • Comment removed

  • This makes me laugh <3 I love this song. Makes any terrible day amazing.

  • epic dance scene

  • is this in the "first days of spring" film? or is this seperate?

  • @karatekween33 This is from the film.

  • ahhh i am so stressed out because of the SATs and this song makes me feel better and have the urge to run through fields of happy :) :D

  • ahhh im so stressed out because of the SAT tomorrow and this song makes me want to ru nthrough feilds of happy :)

  • when i'm old, i want to be as cool as that guy

  • Oh my god... I LOVE THIS. I've managed to make an excuse to watch it everyday this week by showing friends . This will never cease to make me happy!

  • Great song. And now everytime I hear it, I'll be thinking of this old man dancing and smiling which only doubles the experience

  • @italian724 on my parent's tennis court in Haslemere haha. Thats where it was filmed :)

  • great band, lovely song, nice video. why don't they play in Ireland regularly...?

  • i just learned how to tie a tie! yayyy!

  • Any chance noah and the whale helped record "so long and thanks for all the fish" from the Hitchhiker's Guide movie? =0 this is very reminiscent of it.

  • if you can't smile at this old guy dancing

    and singing, you have

    no heart.

    =D

  • @bellerawks it makes me sad watching the old man dance lol. in the video for the album this is just before he kills himself.

  • @bellerawks I have no heart... I thought this was the stupidest thing I've ever seen on YouTube - and that's saying something!

  • if you gotta run, run from home???

  • If you gotta run, run from hope.

  • His tie matches the curtain behind him

  • I like Noah and the Whale's second album. It's completely different from their first since Laura Marling left. They put so much meaning into their music and made this album perfect!

  • @snapshotanimations i thought he was reading the suicide letter he left for his wife

  • He is too young I think he is an actor

  • I'm wondering if it's Charlie and Dougs dad? Anyone know?

  • I simply love your music guys. :)

  • THIS VIDEO IS GENIUS
