Bitter Ruin - Trust (Official Single 2011) OUT NOW!

[ConlangFan]

Love this!!

[Hearowsify]

I saw you guys in Pa when u were working with Jason. You guys put on a really innovative show and this song is awesome, I'm a big fan of the mix of outrageous you did out here. The CD sounds great! I love the cabaret style you guys have going on, it's very theatrical. Keep it up!

[keshisgay]

Hey how long ago did you write this song? I swear I caught you guys at a BIMM show like 5 years ago at the komedia and I was really impressed by you, and it was this song you played and and it was truly standout.

[SkourGeCellist]

[tediosim]

Your music is sexy, you both are sexy, your style is sexy... and this clip is like an orgasm

[gizmo2k]

I keep coming back to this video. Song's amazing too ;)

[Danniker777]

The epitome of what I call a Verbal Tango. point and counterpoint full of laden emotion and complete antagonism towards the other, but essentially a power packed love ballad. I have heard nothing to match this. BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FaithRemainsOnline]

this is pure beauty, listening and watching the disharmony in the chorus turning to that kind of harmony that's almost perfect. couldn't have been better, thank you so much!

[misaokinomotofs]

Fucking good ending... poetic. I just love this song. :D

[TheScarlettQueen666]

love it!!!

[banaka90]

how was she be able to hit him anyway?

[JimmyMadrix]

Scheiße... Gänsehaut pur.

[Redskull1411]

i enter to listen the theme thanks to Neilgaiman twitter. I LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC!!!. Really, guy your style is awesome.

[CameraGirl4AGdolls]

OMG! I love this song! I've been listening to you guys ever since you started! I love your guys' music. I love your voices. They go perfectly together too! Love you guys soooo much! Bye!

[BittersweetIsolation]

Simply lovely. Adore your music. Georgia, your voice gives me chills. Ben, i wish i was able to play guitar like you<33

You must come to Los Angeles, California!

[WithoutAnAnchor]

This is amazing! My sister introduced me to this band and this song is downright awesome with the complex chorus and the harmonies... :)

[CharlienotsoBrown]

love, love love!!! you guys are amazing!!! :D

[eddytheviper]

Back for my daily dose of this song, the layering in the chorus is so addictive. Awesome work guys, hope the best for you all!

[lajollacat]

Thumbs up if Tim Minchin brought you here!

[Athenesword14]

I hope you don't mind if I embed this video on my blog. Maybe it will get more people to this page. Cheers and good luck.

[Meeeowwwww]

WOW. Just, wow.

[Vicz777]

I've just bought the single off amazon, as well as both of your albums (but from your website, just in case Amazon took a cut or something) to help you out! And also because I regretted not buying them at an Amanda Palmer gig. Brilliant music

[mralexandercooper]

Just seen on Points West News.

[kattybd]

like if you have downloaded the single!!!

[wizardlibra]

If This Song Was A Painting, It Would Be A Masterpiece.

Very Hypnotic & Thanks Mr Fry. :)

[anyaxelizabeth]

Man you guys. You are everything I have ever loved.

[LittleMissVicious91]

Woah... that's absolutely brilliant! Thanks Stephen Fry!

[alidemalion]

Just seen you on SE Today. Excellent song and vid.

[feelOlucky]

Sounds like it belongs in a Musical. "Shoot out at at Whiskey Saloon". Bodies flying over Tables. So stressful....

[college87]

are they both vampires? I like the song

[DemonicDante92]

bitter ruin brought me here... and Bitter ruin brought me back!



[kattybd]

A beautiful and talented pair! I am very excited for the release!

[TheMelANNcholic]

the best music vid in 2011

[HibbyD]

Good Luck with the release on Monday. 'Trust' is simply brilliant!

[neuroudec]

who wants to make a cover of this song with me?? xD

[TheFranGloria]

02:43 Beautiful!!!

[mysjanca]

Tak to je ..............naprosto skvělé :-)

[straitjacketlily]

so good live seen you twice now, thank you Heaven london was such a good night!

[NoTimeToCry66]

@SeanNolan5 xD oh yeh! xD i was behind the guy on his ipod the whole time xD

[NoTimeToCry66]

hey, i saw you two yesterday at Sutton college :)

i like the way you have such a powerful voice but Ben's voice could stand out a little more? he has a good voice shame for him to be in the background.

overall i loved the performance yesterday both really talented. =D

[SeanNolan5]

@NoTimeToCry66 same lol thats why im here.. i'm the one at the back that asked two questions, and everyone laugh when i did :/

[Arabwel]

I love you guys so hard.

[AmoErgoSum83]

I love you guys, soooooooooooooo very much. Thank you for just being f*cking awesome.

[Sonyahblablabla]

@gregshell just shut the fuck up (or in an other way: if you don't like it, don't look at it, don't post. You obviously don't know what music is, don't know how to appreciate it, don't recognize talent when you see it. But you are a hater and you wont read my comment so i'll just say: stfu)

[peutch]

Really like it!

But why is Ben's voice mixed so much in background? :/

[bitterruin]

@peutch Yes. It was not a choice, more a mistake :(

[peutch]

@bitterruin Woops :) By the way, saw that you're concert in London on the 23rd is sold out. Any way to get in? You've been repeatedly and wholeheartedly recommended by my friend Ronald.

[PaerJohansson]

Hey!

Well done both of you!

My piano-playing has unfortunately gone totally, but you just get better and better!

Hope to be able to see you on one of your gigs soon!

[ezmereldagreen]

why hasnt this got more views????

[pcpinkerton]

this is going to chart in October .... or there is no justice

[stripdancinglemons]

Hey, would buying through bandcamp that week in October count towards your chart topping goals?

[bitterruin]

@stripdancinglemons Yes, it should do, but Bandcamp are a bit vague, if you want to be certain, I'd go with iTunes.

[mdbrewer89]

really well filmed, great song

[dj19bwa]

this song is so amazing

[Vicz777]

I saw Bitter Ruin at Amanda Palmers gig in Glasgow last week. I didn't really like them at first, but they are so brilliant. I wish I'd taken the opportunity to buy their CD's and stuff then xD

[n20011892]

I love the little grin at 1.22 so evil but so innocent.

This song reminds me of an ex of mine we brought out the worst in each other. So i totally get this song. Massive fan and think I will be till they split (hopefully never). Keep up the good work.

[xbcfc360x]

Awesome!!!

[aemgsk]

I never download singles I prefer entire albums but here I'll make an exception WOW just WOW! best song I have heard in ages! You deserve all the success and more.

[ewans77]

Ben Richards is nearly as good as Andres Segovia

[ewans77]

saw them supporting amanda palmer in the arches. there amazing live

[satanicsuicide666]

@ewans77 I was at that gig too. I loved them so much, i bought their albums too :D and they were so nice! they even signed them for me ^_^

[ewans77]

@satanicsuicide666 couldnt stay for the signings but got some merch im still recovering from super kates workout lol

[satanicsuicide666]

@ewans77 I think we all are... That was one HELL of a work out lol

[singingskotch]

Saw these guys live opening for the Dresden Dolls last fall and never heard of them before! I was literally moved to tears by some of their performances! I sincerely hope they attain all the success their talents have earned!!

[YababaVideo]

Pretty creative! Great editing pace!

[YellowLloydus]

That end moment: beautiful.

[utkucavalier]

Well I was brought here by Neil Gaiman but whatever...

[ElMoss64]

I have nothing against people finding music through celebrities; much better than for them to think any of the crap that they play on the radio is good, but do you really have to make sure everyone knows who that celebrity was. I mean, it makes it look like rather than coming for the music, you're just trying to copy everything said celeb does.

[Coffeekinns]

@ElMoss64 Usually saying "so and so brought me here" annoys me but frankly if this were my video I'd die from happiness knowing the likes of Stephen Fry and Tim Minchin were recommending it to their followers. Especially since they're two people worth admiring.

[ElMoss64]

@Coffeekinns Oh, definitely. :L

That said, I'm fairly certain that Bitter Ruin would know anyway. :L

[ScarlettKitsune]

I am actually in awe! I'll be buying this for sure!!!

[alinemerrow]

Gosh, Stephen Fry was right, it's awesome.

[KATEisFAB]

This is my favorite song I've discovered this year.

[follylandtales]

I have not bought a "record" for want of a better terms since 1990....I cannot stop playing this video, god damn you...sold !

[Annkelia]

@0u70fSync Trust is more catchy and sounds more complex dialogue-wise and is more complex lyrics-wise. It gets you hooked instantly, and I believe the BR members realize that very well. I, for instance, was only able to appreciate Beware after a good deal of exposure to some other BR tracks.

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

tim minchin brought me here first and then stephen fry brought me back!!!

[bitterruin]

@ThingsWeSaidToday nice!

[KraftingKingdom]

@ThingsWeSaidToday Cool story bro, next time, more dragons

[TheSuperCucumber]

I say! This song is brilliant)

[0u70fSync]

9 people need to be Ruined. XD

Although to be honest, I like Beware more both in terms of song and video. I would have liked what's now happened with Trust, to have happened with Beware.

[TastyAndNutritious]

So I have a conundrum. I'd really like to help you guys get this into the charts by downloading it in October, but at the same time I want to download all your music straight away so I can listen to it whenever I want. What to do...?

[bitterruin]

@TastyAndNutritious Good question. The answer is to download it now, keep up to date with us by following us on twitter/facebook/ or join our mailing list. Then in October when we release the official (re-released single) download it again :))))) - Please

[Denalfhar]

amazing

[meltsintowonder]

I have been listening to this obsessively for the past 24 hours. I'm just in awe.

[hornedkitpup]

like if Joe black brought you here!

[giuvic]

I just cannot stop listening to this song! I'm addicted.

[TastyAndNutritious]

My finger's not going to be leaving this replay button any time soon.

[ulexite]

its so awesome to see the Ruined swelling in numbers ^^

[DeeDemonwitch]

it's all good, and she has an phenomenal voice

[rachaelgraceblack]

I am utterly in love with this song.

[TheDaekle]

What an utterly great piece of music. Two really talented singers. I was sent here by Stephen Fry not Tim Mincham sorry o.o

[lvp20]

gave me goosebumps

[Postmodernobjection]

This brilliantly rationalises any violently passionate relationship. But you should make a sequel ;)

Are you guys together, or is that manufactured? Either way it's impressive.

[0u70fSync]

@Postmodernobjection Don't quote me but afaik, they are together. Speaking before/after their shows, I always got the impression they were or else they put on a really good show of it!

[MistressPassionGreed]

@Postmodernobjection They're definitely together. When I added their personal Facebook profiles last year (this was before they made pages for their fans), their relationship status was set to being with each other. Hope that answers your question. :)

[0u70fSync]

@MistressPassionGreed I thought I saw it but couldn't clearly recall. Well remembered :)

[RuleNr34]

this is incredibly good

[n20011892]

Tim Minchin inspired look here lol

[HellRaiser51]

yup for Stephen Fry, here in Kiwi still I guess?!

[ezmereldagreen]

something about a handsome young man looking hurt and mental and passionate and singing brilliantly....

[semysane]

Stephen Fry brought me here.

[SpartMedia]

Great Video! Great Song. Simple

[ronove]

Who cares how you got here? This song is amazing, isn't that enough?

[ISGPixxiePayne]

thumbs up if stephen fry linked u here

[ssassboy]

always Stephen Fry.... X

[allonewordy]

I'm missing something here. I don't know what, but I feel like I just watched The Pixies with their balls cut off. I'm going to go and listen to The Pixies.

[BrillWill1]

thumbs uou if steven fry bought you here!

[h1r3z]

@BrillWill1 Stephen Fry.  :)

[BrillWill1]

@h1r3z i went to the same primary as him when he was little! and i live in the same village as he did aswell!

[eigensinn83]

@BrillWill1 Maybe he IS another John Peel...

[harmer12]

I play this over and over again on a nightshift so by morning the whole shift walk away humming the tune! Nothing like a little brainwashing ;¬)

[LovelyIndie]

he is VERY attractive.

[cisamichanne]

Fab video, love the song and yes the bit at the end was real neat. Georgia is so pretty but um, not her best hair day? ;-p still, great video/song/album! Love you guys!

[kattybd]

I have a version of this live!

[kattybd]

like if Bitter Ruin brought you here :-)

[DarkChildInferno]

I love the ending to this video where the ropes untie and they fall into each others arms and they twirl and then dips her!!! I love Bitter Ruin!

[FlamingParanoiaSpoon]

watching and watching and listening and listening.. love the editing as well

[philipcy]

they have to be pretty talented to pull this off nicely live

[Cazymoncre]

@philipcy and they do - it's even better live

[kattybd]

@philipcy you'd be suprised they do it WAY better live!

[TheDanman121]

like if matt lucas brought you here.

[11childrenofthemoon]

love! BR is just amazing. I love all their songs! Forever Fan!!!!

[Annkelia]

Strangely enough, the boy is more natural on film.

[oldieXP]

1) I don't even like this music style

2) this song and video are so awesome that I watch them like every day

[oldieXP]

1) I don't even like this music style

[rayofminneapolis]

corporatism witch fights!

[MissLouIce]

love the wild hair! and love the facial expressions. beautifully done!

[phadzzy]

Im soo happy BR are getting such good responses they are awesome!

[ulexite]

the word bitch has never been hotter then when ben says it bwhaha XD

[Denalfhar]

Absolutely incredible, it blew me away,

[deadduckish]

wow wow wow, was a bit worried about where the thing with the ropes was going but delighted with they way it went in the end. Ben and Georgia you deserve all the compliments a hundred fold keep it up:)

[Kabloomybuzz]

I hope the 1 dislike was a mistaken misclick!

[Mellyjh]

This is the way music is supposed to be. Simply perfect. <3

[soulfox40]

This song is beautiful. The way they sing directly reflects the song's emotions and the lyrics trust eachother so perfectly.

[jlware5000]

Georgia's voice is mighty powerful as always... dig that ending was totally hot.

[Nightie]

Cool video for a cool song!!!! ♥

[QueenShebaVIII]

I already loved this song but this video just makes it even more fantastic because they've done it perfectly.

[scargdc]

Nicely done. Great ending.

[adoramuhble]

Thumbs up for Georgia's smirk at 1:20!

[NarwhalsArePimps]

Like this if you've watched this more than five times.

[Syvelocin]

Oh my god. Thank you Amanda Palmer, this is enthralling O.O #newfavouriteband

[doyledanzig]

These guys Supported Amanda Palmer in London last year and they were Awesome

[lozzerence]

phwoar

[TheRichardScout]

Superb!

[sashafortis]

This is being cross-promoted by some really impressive artists....having seen it, I conclude it is well deserved.

[Johnny123456789x]

Brought here consecutively by Amanda Palmer, Neil Gaiman and Jason Webley.

[agraysey]

I can't stop watching this. So much more deserving of a chart position than the avalanche of mediocrity we find ourselves engulfed by...

[CountessVassenegro]

Found Bitter Ruin through myspace a couple of years ago now. This was one of the first songs I heard of theirs. Its really nice to see that they've come so far from being a small Brighton based band to touring with Amanda Palmer by fantastical chance and working their way towards releasing a single in the charts. Like if you've been there for them every step of the way! :)

[mirtasmiddlefinger]

GOD I LIKE THEM

[jakeymears]

This video is super, and great song - these guys will go far.

[DrunkenRussian17]

Wait..that was really good...

[emmaemily101]

I first saw Bitter Ruin at Amanda Palmer's Bush Hall show during the first half of 2010. Amazing live and they are really fan-orientated - follow them on Facebook or Twitter as they regularly respond to their fans. They are fab - and they are touring this year!!!

[oldieXP]

Tim Minchin AND Amanda Palmer brought me here! HAH!

[mfskarphedin]

Wow, I really liked when it took off near the end, but the ending was just beautiful!

[Rosepins]

I was lucky enough to see these two with Amanda Palmer in October during one of the late night Cabaret shows. So. Good!

[vikio452]

Shivers down my spine won't stop... O_O

[Rajtsai]

I like it! :)

[iceteabeingstirred]

So good!!! Am totally in love with you guys <3

[kylecassidy]

Is that October 3rd and October 10th, or March 10th and October 10th? We know you write dates backwards in the UK.....

[Fractalgeek]

@kylecassidy October 3rd to 10th. See the countdown on their web site

[bentleymark1]

This video is stunning - and if you get the chance to see them live I can't recommend it enough - I've seen this song performed in the flesh and they are a must see!

[adoramuhble]

@bentleymark1 I second this comment! :D

[n20011892]

I started listening to this and thought that the girl had an amazing voice and the song was good. Then the chorus kicked in. Was not expecting that. Such a good song love it

[MissMonsterMaker]

That ending was amazing! Wow!

[Sabedoza16]

This is the song that got me interested in Bitter Ruin. I'm so glad they made a video.

[psychomeltdown]

Fantastic.

wow :)
