Elvis Costello - I want you

[jimvakakis]

Κλείσε τα μάτια! - Παπακαλιάτης!

[careintheworld44]

I used to play this song every morning while in the shower....until my roommie came in, pulled the tape out of the player and ripped it to pieces! He did this 2 times until I told him that I would set his bed on fire if he EVER touched my Elvis again......

Don't mess with my Elvis.....it ain't your momma's!

[Salineddi]

Sometimes love is one-sided. And spooky.

[trannypat]

Made me cry

[SissyTheCosmogirl]

αν μονο πιστευες οσα σου ειχα πει...

[TheZeledaki]

καψιμοοοοοοοο...αλλα μακαρι να αξιζει!

[talory]

Also see the Fiona Apple version of this (with EC on guitar) for an incredibly raw take on this song (search the song title then append Fiona Apple) I LOVE Declan and have been a fervant fan for over 30 years, but I also love the Fiona video.

hurt :-(

[surfricy]

Saw Elvis do this live, never having heard it before. Totally blew me away. What you have to respect about Elvis is his unflinching honesty about dark, ugly, totally reprehensible emotions we all have felt, but never admitted to. He does this time and again in his serious songs, but never in such a tour de force as he does here.

[Salineddi]

@surfricy Amen. Well said.

[vainlullaby]

love*

[vainlullaby]

why things are so strange with some relationships?why do people have to hurt the ones who loves more than anything?it's not bad to get risks for the one you want.it's not humiliating to admit to sb that you can't imagine how your day would be without him/her....this song is exactly what a person who falls for someone must say ....nothing more,nothing less..people have to stop thinking about their "pride''.pride is sth that won't fade by telling sb your feelings.....

[Shtove]

Didn't realise how creepy this song is until I followed the lyrics.

The variations on the phrase are brilliant, pity the lyrics in between are a bit obscure.

Thanks for posting.

[evakitsi]

i want you my love....(n)

[OozyBones]

I feel like this song is about rape. 8C

[CountryMusicKU]

Με έκανες να σε θέλω, να σε ερωτευτώ... αλλά τώρα δυστυχώς δε μπορώ να σε έχω... οι συγκυρίες τα έφεραν έτσι ώστε να μη γίνεται :( Ελπίζω κάποια στιγμή να αλλάξει αυτό... θα περιμένω...

long comments :o

[nataselw]

OK, we got it. Everyone's lost somebody. But I'm not gonna type out a paragraph about me breaking down or crying or some shit. Guess what ! Youtube doesn't care. Neither does the internet in general. Well,suck it up and enjoy an awesome song!

[sapphiremyrtle]

@nataselw If you're somehow offended or whatever then just don't read any comments at all. Since you're here just for the song then just listen and don't read, I don't see why you have to read and then insult since you, after all, are ABOVE COMMENTS( though you do make one!!!). Apparently you are the one not enjoying the song.

[nataselw]

@sapphiremyrtle I'm not offended at all,I just get bored reading everyone's heartbreaking lovestory..i think comments are supposed to be about the song or the artist or the person who made the effort to make this wonderful video!!!!!This is UTUBE,not a fucking online love confession site - IMFAO

[anodien1983]

@nataselw First of all, I honestly thank you for saying that this video is wonderful! :-) Next, I understand your point of view but let's face it. We've all been - at some point or another - so heartbroken that we thought we couldn't bear it. And perhaps these people don't have anyone to turn to for consolation. I feel honoured that so many people here understand why I chose to make a video of this song and open up their hearts to me and the world like that. Again, thank you for your comment!

[nataselw]

@anodien1983 OK you have a point too.I don't mind read comments about the feelings this song create to a listener,but I hate overstatements and I don't find interesting at all readind personal details about anyone's life or love story,which will be probably a pack of lies just to gain some attention.Real facts& feelings are kept in our heart protected or shared with our loviest ones but they are not announced easily to the internet for sure!But everyone has a right to their own opinion as well;)

[sapphiremyrtle]

@nataselw I agree that it is about the artists but it is about personal expression as well. Since we're human beings it is inevitable that some songs create certain feelings and I don't see why one shouldn't express them. P.S.1. By 'offended ' I was, of course, speaking metaphorically and P.S.2 It's really easy, you know, using 'fuck' all the time, fuck this, fuck that...(like you do). Anyway, let's not get into this, we are of different minds and let's leave it at that.

[terrapin52]

Blood and Chocolate was such a unique album. Songs like this and others were so different from anything Costello did before and after. He has a sound like a cool college dude or something... hard for me to describe, but his voice is kind of hoarse and dry and sounds fucking awesome on the whole album.

[kevin2fennelly]

i want toodels

[gayforlife2020]

I nominate this to be the official Borderline Personality Disorder anthem.

[Jahklen]

Anyone from mount carmel listening to this? >:)

[HeikeSuper]

@Jahklen Yes :) !

[ladysoufaniehmirna]

who can possibly 'dislike' this song. Morons.

[papercotton]

@ladysoufaniehmirna they probably prefer fiona's version

[emsky2000posse]

great song for selling peanutbutter on tv....

[indigospirit44]

We who lived this were just like a dear in the headlights, we know we should get away but we can't

[jdespierta]

i love u more than i can tell...i want u so it scares me to death..everything else is a waste of breath...i woke up and one of us crying...go on and hurt me then well let it drop...i want u....

[fancyanz]

how is this possible?the one that makes you the happiest person..can make you the most sad as well..

[peterganjaptz]

dedicated to a bitch that made me feel this way 2 times in one month!but now i'm still down..:/



[purpleveil22]

Best lyrics ever written. So desperate, so real, sο confessional, so sad but still so proud.

[badkitty1969]

I will never understand why everyone loves this for their breakup song. This is the song for that guy/girl - you know, the one who has always been just a bit more than a good friend, but the one who you just can't seem to get trhough to. The one who you have more than a crush on. The one who you see every day but doesn't have a clue. The one whose smile sticks a knife in your heart and twists it . The eyes that you always drown in but they seem to see right past you.

[CSec946]

@badkitty1969 strange, I always found as more of a song about infidelity in a relationship; although, I do see that interpretation.

[elledelirium]

@badkitty1969 very nice detail :)

[philmart]

@badkitty1969 -- WTF???

[DeejayBroGaGa]

@badkitty1969

this is the song-knife-song.......Venus In Furs....

[PanoplyCabaret]

@badkitty1969 I'm pretty sure it's about someone having an affair.

[InnerAsylum88]

@badkitty1969 how can i say it...perfectly spoken :-)

[sissaki1994]

@badkitty1969 actually i think its for sb who cheats on you... thats what i understand... dont know. maybe you are right... :/

[666PYRIFLEYETHON666]

how can a song fuck you like if she was in front you and you couldnt touch her? like a dream where everything is so fragile like the last moment you saw her.... i miss you 4 years now.....maybe in another life we can be something...anything....

[Harmonyyyyyy]

I want you everywhere I look I love you I want you je t'aime à vie, mon amour, mon âme, mon manu, je t'aimerai toujours............

[theglorybox89]

..and Stewie(family guy) could be singing too this song ,so sensual!!!!!!!!

seriusly this song is in my top favorites songs ever...i bowing!!

[dustinthewind13069]

this song makes me think of rachel weisz getting raped

[carralero100]

apla mou elipses poli...!!!!!!!!!te quiero nena linda!!!!

[LazarakosMessi]

[Taysidethistle]

it's a superb piece of music - real gut renching stuff - and there is plenty more like it - BUT just get a grip of yourself and don't fall down the hole...(yes Elvis Cost brings more of this and Runrig have a few songs etc etc) - If you feel down after this well try Sabaton's the Hammer has Fallen and then their song Price of a Mile and just think how lucky you are not to be in their shoes

[anthi92kzs]

Everytime I listen to this song I feel like I have a hole in my heart... it reminds me that a piece is missing....

[Heliope1]

That's a wonderful piece of music. Could you recommend me any songs similar to this?

[nose44580]

que triste, ni puede se bueno querer tanto

[TheBlewie]

Awesome. The run of albums between '77 and '86 has never been bettered.

[TheBlewie]

Fucking awesome. This guy was my favourite lyricist back in the day. The run of albums between '77 and '86 has never been surpassed in my opinion.

[jamieleetv1]

that line 'you won't get well no more' - what does it mean to you if your partner strayed back then?

[brokenpromise21]

Well,to be absolutely sincere,half a year ago I broke up with the man who made me fall crazily in love.I have a new relationship now but even though I'm really happy,this whole thing with my ex makes me suffer sometimes.And this happens because he was the one who made me feel the two excessive feelings: unlimited love and hate.He made me suffer and I made him suffer too.We were totally incompatible with each other.Sometimes the only thing that seperates love from hate is just a very thin thread.

[poppy2412]

so sad x

[TheLEJT1]

I think some people (not by any means all) miss the true murderous rage in this song...they are not going to be friends,,,because he's killed her.

When love makes you mad...

[elenthegreat]

I want you!

[HARSHREALITYSLAP]

Well its true what he's saying, but i just find this annoying.

You cant put trust back its like mending a broken mirror - it cant ever be the same. No matter what the reason or whose fault it is, she screwed another guy so whatever he thinks he's losing and is singing his sad song about, its all done.

it aint gonna be UNdone, so just tell her to pack, leave, don't come back, and no you dont "wanna be friends", cause friends dont screw you over.

end of all problems. now where's the remote?

[BekiiTheSinger]

I am absolutely sure I am youngest fan. <3

[Lowieken73]

You can feel the pain the hate the jealousy, that's what makes it such a great song. Music is a way to instantly bring over the emotions of the composer and writer into the people listening to it. (Beethoven said something along these lines I think, it's very true in my opinion !)

[TheGhostOfBarryEvans]

I want you

He tossed some tatty compliment your way

I want you

And you were fool enough to love it when he said

I want you

[jessicajavaaa]

woah, i stumbled upon this song, but its amazing.

[aitstoskate]

I want you...

[haroulitta82]

dedicated to D.V.

I've never wanted something more than being with you...

I WANT U

[BeTheGr8]

apo ta kalutera tragoudia pou exoun graftei pote ever ...

[sapphiremyrtle]

This is the song I used to share with an old boyfriend. He hurt me the worst way and I hurt him back. In retrospect I really cannot understand what really happened and we did those horrible things to each other. We were so in love. I feel sad wheneve I think of it...

[anodien1983]

@sapphiremyrtle Been there too... Some people have the ability to bring out the best as well as the worst in us... I don't know why...

[sapphiremyrtle]

@anodien1983 I believe this is the sadest thing that a person could ever experience, being in love and not being able to get away even though it hurts as much. It's sad and at the same time comforting that I'm not the only one. Thank you for sharing.

[anodien1983]

@sapphiremyrtle no need to thank me... people go through many phases in life so that they can eventually understand what they 're worth. love always hurts one way or another but pain should not be the dominant feeling. happiness is what we all deserve and demand from our lives.

[bellumcarmen]

@sapphiremyrtle The same with my old girlfriend! I understant exactly what you mean.... :-(

[ShadowDreadblade]

@sapphiremyrtle YOu let your egos turn into beasts. A greek rock song has the following lyrics: "Today the knives of love come out, today the dream tears apart"..., ego is something all of us must handle. And yes, i've been there too. I believe nobody can avoid it. At least once it happens.

[sapphiremyrtle]

@ShadowDreadblade του μαχαιριτσα το τραγουδι λες; οντως εμεις αφηνουμε το εγω μας να μας κυριευει. ποσοι ομως μπορουν ν του επιβληθουν;

[ButterflyFeerie]

@sapphiremyrtle I went through a similar situation. ~hugs~

[xaviermatrix]

@sapphiremyrtle

a fiend introduced me to this song and find it wicked !! the first minute ,the intro , is not so good but then the song actually starts .. this could be a huge rock song if some nice guitar would go along with it... xavier , belgium..

[sapphiremyrtle]

@xaviermatrix yeah!! the intro is kind of weird! for me though it is one of the best songs ever! anyway you know how some songs never get the credit they deserve.

[shegme]

@sapphiremyrtle

This is the worst outcome of anger. Broken love.

[AndyMCAnderson]

@sapphiremyrtle I'm now on that stage. I've hurted her and loosin' her. Nothing I can do - just continue to breathe. That will be a lesson.

[omagine]

@sapphiremyrtle passion is a dangerous thing. "the bigger they are they harder they fall" so applies to love. nothing is more powerful and overwhelming and potentially destructive than passion.

[loveislam24]

An absolutely majestic piece with the best interpreter

[a2sarah]

Stalker with a girl locked in a room.... "fingernails go dragging down the wall... be careful darling you might fall..." I love this song, heck maybe i have a thing for psychotic stalkers.

[AngieEnz84]

Good god, these are some damn intense lyrics. Strangely sexy and yet really disturbing and bitter...amazing song. Love this.

[mudkipsie]

I love this song, and I love Costello, but this song is absolutely epic when covered by Fiona Apple. Even Costello agreed.

[katewaxys]

i wish i couldve found the video of elvis singing the song, but we'll have to do with the cheesy version.

[SanderRB]

Amazing song, I love it, just like real life....

[ELENA14190192]

I want you...I want you so it scares me to death...

I can't say any more than "I love you"...

Everything else is a waste of breath...

[Ptinski]

I could never classify Mr. C., thankfully. The emoting he's able to present, the incredible realization you have when his poetry strikes at your soul and you recognize that feeling. "O no, he's looking into my heart" says the soulful-looking lady of sorrows and joys, long-since dried and gone with the summer wind....

[MissTheClash]

hmpf. the song is kinda bad. but elvis costello rocks!

[noone8822]

[marcelfrocz]

I learned something new about composition from this song. With that said, emotionally this song can be crushing. I love it when artists can create amazing beauty out of the deepist ugliness.

[SarahLeonieBoniface]

[deutschesmaedchen]

what's up with the emo slideshow? doesn't suit the song.

[SanGuevara]

Chilling. I wonder if this is what a psychopath thinks after he finds out that his girl has been cheating on him.

[LaLaBootytail]

I love this song

[harfarhs]

@fouf1990 - so is this song based on real events then?

[chelsea3101]

It's the thought of her undressing u or u undressing..

The truth can't hurt u it's just like the dark..it scares u witless,but in time u see things clear and stark..

I am afraid i won't know where to stop..

i want to hear she pleases u more than i do..

did u call her name out as she held u down?

oh no my darling not with that clown..

I know i'm going feel this way until u kill it..

[Condordave]

beautiful song, amazing singer, very little man...

[colinmel66]

such a dark & powerful song. it scares me. i have felt these emotions like many have. it's all so true. one of his best for sure.

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

i remember the first time i heard this, years and years ago, it sent a shiver through me, it stll does, its such a beautiful song, the emotion, the pain, everything, its so wonderful, Elvis has wrote some great lyrics and songs over the years, hes a quality songwriter and singer..., god the shiver still goes thru me...

[DearAnnaaa17]

Elvis Costello is the man.

[feeder12]

This song pretty much is exactly what a man feels after he loses all he has been working for, relationship wise.

At least for a couple days after a big one, this is pretty much the thought train.

[ThereseKatie]

Great vid, I'm glad someone has actually understood that this isn't a love song and hasn't put in lovey-dovey stuff that completely contradicts the words of the song. It's a DARK song and this really shows that off....
