[flyersluver4eva]

[Raziel1818]

[jonasrla]

Does anybody agree that the beginning of this music sounds like "i got a feeling"?

[TearsLikeDiamonds24]

Or do you mean, doesn't the beginning of "I Got A Feeling" sound like Snow Patrol's "Open Your Eyes"? Snow Patrol made this way before that song. :)

[Buckaroo2247]

Thats Wierd I was justsingin that song to the intro :L and then i read your comment

[RootBriansLostTeeth]

This was on the season finale of Being Erica last night.

[NeonstarsX]

[TheBlueEyesBoy]

:DDD

[Jemezinho]

Paris? lol. I hate french ppl and France.

I love Europe, apart from France.

Italy, Scotland, Lithuania, Russia, Ireland, England, Spain, Portugal, they're amazingly wonderful, but fuc* off, France gets too much on my freaking nerves. Damn stuck up and stinky ppl.

Hey, frenches, B*ow me

[FeanfanSC]

You forget Holland of coarse!

[Jemezinho]

It is bcoz I havent been there, YET

[KsyushaPi]

[ReignBanMidou]

Good song

[alfa2433]

This song makes me think daydream about Ratchet from the Ratchet and Clank games...

[Lando7373]

Same chords as i gotta feeling so of course sounds similar. Both good songs but this is better

[MovieCruz]

I love Claude LeLouch's 'C'etait Un Rendevous'! It inspired me to make the video for Radiohead's 'Everything In Its Right Place'.

[666flynner666]

[nicoleon123]

[djdynamite123]

i agree.

[nouks23]

Kan niet vaak genoeg horen(:

[jerijah]

i love the technique collaboration with the vid and the music.. the vid takes you forward. while the music takes you back. kinda demonstrates how looking into our past makes us go forward =)

[musicfanatic101411]

What a memorizing video. Haha.

Great song. <3

[Gmodteam]

is this a new band ? :D

[TraxVortex]

Snow Patrol was formed in 1994. So no, it's not really a new band.

They make really good music!

[Gmodteam]

ok, thanks for the info, i really like their music it sounds so perfect sang and new

[mariie108]

The beginning sounds like Black eyed peas - I gotta feeling

[gracey633]

No, Black-Eyed Peas sound like Snow Patrol.

[mariie108]

Yes that's what I meant to say, this song was brought out about 3 years before 'I gotta feeling'.

[KhmaiBodian559]

i know, this sounds like i got a feeling by black eyed peas

[Motzhart]

your right!

[rmephh]

Wow, what a great song. And I like this video a lot, quite unique.

[Craz3db0utu]

wow i love the ending =)

[TheWIGANLATICS1]

amazing song!!!

[Romeu07]

COMME PARIS EST BLLE !!!!

[wickedwarren]

is this the real video? Its awsome

[GrandTheftAdrian]

the video track with the bumper shots through paris, is actually its own short film called c'etait un rendezvous (its a date). it was made in 1976! believ dat

[YunaLIke]

Part of what makes this song so powerful to me is the video they attached it to. This is by far one of the best things I've ever seen.

[talianis]

paris

[paulsgibbs]

where's the video made?

[sideyxb]

04:01... Coincidence??? You know what i'm talkin about...

[WelshCockram]

[aaronchungrulez]

dude, that was part there was probably on purpose, but damn, this video fits it perfectly!

[Brizi14]

[ScooterDirector]

Broke sooo many laws in this video :P all those red lights!

[PdishmonkeyJJ]

lmao ye xD

[YezzefleZz]

This is a great song, and a great video <3

[reazun87]

Black eyed peas sampled the guitar part for their song "i got a feeling"

[arcadia400]

On 7th of August 2009 a delivery boy from "curry in a hurry" attached his nokia N95 to the front of his peugeot speedfight moped and sped through the streets of Cheltenham to deliver a chicken madras and keema naan within the 15 minute deadline.He did it!

[aaronlim1988]

was the footage for real? cool!! because of that, i actually watched the entire video for once...

[mciprija]

♥ love it

[mciprija]

[mhatsko]

I'll pull over,

[psfff]

About the video:

"The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up real one-way streets.

Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground until a DVD release a few years ago."

[psfff]

About the video:

"On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris. The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine, through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.

No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit."

[sparks444]

No wonder, Youtube limits you to 10 minute films. Forward thinking FTW :D

[shiZZlydawg5]

luv this song.....this music vid is soooo boring tho

[hystericalclerical]

Good song. I've liked it ever since the album was released.

It probably takes a minute too long to get going though.

[marianoivan76]

nice !

[superstrogonof]

very good

[Nielsoon]

The vid is a bit boring but it was amazing when they programmed it on the tv behind them on pinkpop!

[Danieliyop]

buena rola!!! saludos de sde monterrey..

de que parten son este grupo

[RayannaRibeiro]

i love this song !! amo amo amo

[06parkcu]

This video is a direct cut from C'était un rendez-vous, a short film made by Claude Lelouch in 1976. It's a cult classic :)

[polluxR]

Is it Paris?

[GroucherMarx]

i agree with you (misslisey) but i depsise you for being so stuck up the irony of you using thier lyrics open your eyes when you attack someone - who uses txt talk just cos thier making a point saying thier not cultured. Which by the way is so broad that for all you know they probably are cultured just in a whole new area of film, art and song mabye???

[br0kentears]

boring video

but i loved this song

[SungSung101]

i like this song... apperently because i think this group rocks!!

[MOOSEFULNESS]

I would've made the video COMPLETELY differently. One of the most amazing songs ever written <3

[steelerslover743]

good song eny one heard of fantage? check it out. hope to see u soon

[sineadeywadey]

dis video is so disapointing compared 2 wat dey cudve dun wit dese lyrics

[misslisey]

Clearly if you were cultured you would know this video was from the 1970's and is well placed with this song. Maybe you should listen to the lyrics and open your eyes... this video is amazing.

[sineadeywadey]

who da hell du you tink u r telin me im nt cultured? iv clearly listend 2 thes lyrics nd stil fond da video disapointin nd u using a random fact bot da video dusnt strenthen ur argument its a matr of opinion u cnt say one's rite nd ones wrong!nd plz refrain 4m obvious pathetic puns

[exiledwhite]

Misslisey - I agree with you that the video is amazing. However I'm sure everyone else will agree that you're a steaming pile of shit ...... that cultured enough for you love. Now run along, there's a good girl

[hatefuIIkat]

u mad?

[racinbigsis]

cute vid!!

[junaidkhan881]

I like This Song.

[KDEBP]

[rodrigorodrigorodrig]

best music of the best band

[harmsen17]

i adore snow patrol :) (L)

[mixhmixhmixh]

AMAZING VIDEO!!!

love it

[LeeLostprophets]

see if you take the guitar part at the beginning its almost as if the black eyed peas have taken it for 'i gotta feelin' (i hate that song) but it just seems like they may have ripped this off and noones really noticed typically due to the completely different styles of music. Black eyed peas being the shit of the two!

[elmo9319]

A Class vid and Song

[RainbowStripeySocks]

Their lyrics are always so deep.

[liverpoolmussab]

[dianeiles]

Even better live !

Can't wait for 27th Nov to see them again !

[Rensje27031995]

Beautiful Video!

[theeboy72]

I love this song! It's so relaxing

[zjamnic]

does any of you know how long snow patrol plays and why they where even a pregroup on the 360 tour. Probably not and thats cos your just full of shit and lack brains to begin with

[astronomygeek212]

I so have to agree with you my friend

[klavesin5]

i cant argue with somebody who has no knowledge for melody harmony etc. , by the way all of those band such as snow patrol, Coldplay, Keen and so fourth were influenced by U2, thats all i meant and you were the one who started cursing first. I was just enjoynd the music too. Sno patrol have long way to go until they can reach the fame of U2.. maybe thats way there were just an opening band,,, just like MUSE,, who are mush more original and gifted.. good luck to you

[jangofet222]

its KEANE not keen tard >:p

[klavesin5]

ye its different, its more monotonous and not that interesting, thats the difference between something good and something great:)) by the way this is opinion of a professional musician who has much more knowledge , success and experience than any of you scumbags and amature fucks

[orangejulius072]

if you really think u2 is better go die.

seriously? U2 is a horrible horrible band.

i really do hate listening to them. You can be musically perfect, but it can still sound like absolute crap if people don't like it. I for one think snow patrol is amazing.

If you are so great calling us amature fucks, how about you show us what gives you so much experience and talent and musical genius.

then i'll listen up. but for now your just talking smack.... and truthfully i'm only writing this for fun

[SqueekDaBeast]

Beatles, considered one of best bands wrote the simplest lyrics... and people loved it (I love U2 as much as the beatles though).

[brunodebastiani]

este video é mais visto no BRASIL que no resto do mundo !!!

[deigismon]

como vc sabe?

[brunodebastiani]

é so vc clicas ali em cima em estatisticas e dados

[klavesin5]

this is amazing, the new u2

[MrBriiGhTsiiDee]

shut up you retard, snow patrol are way better!

[silentbutdeadlii]

wow the song is....so.. universal....i couldnt think of any other word.lol

[Taaank06]

This was filmed in Paris, France by Claude Lelouch in the 70's for a short movie called "C'etait un rendez-vous" (in english : That was a rendezvous / date)

[boomkitchen]

The video is from a short film by Claude Lelouch where he bought a new sports car & filmed himself flying through the streets of paris

[jackthetman]

its in france 30 years ago

[chirps93]

doesn't sound like i gotta feeling to me..

[crusterpuke]

the guitar in the back is exactly the same of i gotta feeling,try to sing it above

[rebelsk88]

get the idea of what you mean, and yeah it sounds like it and it would probably work to that song also

[chirps93]

wow you're right.. well in that case it was black eyed peas who copied it coz this song is older..

[danihutc]

Yeah, I know noticed this too. I was listening to this song in the car when I figured it out. It's the guitar doing the power chords. SAMERRS :)

[shadwich]

fabricioface... Coldplay didn't copy Viva la Vida from Joe's song If I Could Fly, they already proved Joe he is wrong...

[fabricioface]

Black Eyed Peas just copied this song with the title "I gotta feeling", as that band did with Joe Satriani.

Fake bastards... made up celebrities!

[deigismon]

this video was recorded in that city?

[davi55x]

abbey !!!! if any1 knows what this is a reference to then i salute them.

[rafatikcs]

Phodaa!

[TheRockinpneumonia]

great song and a great vid, i have the full 8 min dvd, however isnt actualy claude lelouche in a mercedes s450 or something l;ike that? having looked at the speed and the sounds in the origional it is belivable.

[Santilago]

Nice, but copies are not fair...

[giantxtcc0]

what city it is???

[TraxVortex]

C'est Paris!

[pawanwwefan]

I think U.S.A.

[CrazedPogostik]

Sounds a bit like I got a feeling but I guess I got a feeling sounds like this since this is older :D

[tanyupaluchi]

dimeee....... ahhhh me gusta

[87Esprit]

This video is a rip off of a very famous street racing film made in the 70's called Rendesvous that was shrouded in speculation at to what car was used (always thought to be a Ferrari) and who the driver was.

[xslickrick1x]

Its not a rip off, its actual footage from the original. The original poster for the movie had a Ferrari on it, but the director later said that the car used was a MB 450 sel.

[openyoureyes3451]

my youtube name is after this song. i love it so much. and i just realized now that this video was posted on my birthday! september 26

[uesirito]
