silverchair - the greatest view

[perceurawyn]

MAN THIS IS NOT GRUNGE

[paolonroll]

their firsts discs were, after that they "changed" to alternative

[spaman3]

The only best hard rock song off the album.

[cobaincrazy27]

for some reason i think this song is about playing live

[clumsick]

Actually this song is about those damn paparazzi! In the video, you can see a bunch of actors/actresses who are trying to get some rest or trying to have a nice quiet dinner. And those damn inconsiderate paparazzis just won't leave them alone! Being a celebrity himself, Daniel Johns is also subjected to these kinds of privacy invasions and it pissed him off so much that he made a song out of it... the price you pay for being a star! deal with it..LOL

[jalaludinalrumi]

they are verrry expertise on sound..., first album can be compared to metallica's sound.. and this one is barely new...,

[apriilS]

i love this song!!!! The begining and 2:25 - 2:47 is awesome!!

[arbeetoy]

now this is a song i wanna play in rock band 2,lol...

[criferco80]

What a amazing song...

[clalex18]

I´m watching you watch over me and I got the greatest view for me...

[flealdy]

This is Silver chair!!!

[cobaincrazy27]

love it:)

[TonioCSDL]

vales vergui fabi

[LarissaLIBERTY]

silverchair..pls go back doing this kind of music

[Tidy86]

another grunge,.

[hakuryou]

watch

[29thsign4me]

diorama is the greatest album by silverchair and the weirdest in a good way..young moderm is weird in a bad way...

[rianaibrahim]

totally agree

[everyoneallthetime]

I didn't particularly like Diorama outright. It's definitely been in my top 5 favorite albums the last few years. I'll give Young Modern all of the chances it deserves based on those experiences and it's own merits.

Right now it's kind of like sniffing coffee beans to remove the smells of perfume I wiff everyday.

[LeoShadow2]

Diorama is fuckng good album

[jzme]

this is the song that makes me fall in love with silverchair. love it! love daniel johns. such a brilliant vocalist!

[phoenix0930]

Love this song!! love silverchair forever~~~

[topoto11]

I dont really like Diorama...but this is a great song !!!!!

[tbrod05]

this is such a masterpiece! like the title itself. great song for all who appreciate their music. kip it up, on making beautiful songs. rak'enrol!

[crazyhuyman]

Diorama made me go through all the emotions that any form of art ever could. Sounds really weird but it's really one of the only albums that I can best describe to my friends as "Magical" (before being ridiculously bagged on).

Oh.... I love Silverchair.

[Saamelvuo]

I love this song.

[radicalnation]

My all-time favorite song still sounds as vital, fresh, alive and stunning as it did six years ago.

[lexkbuuhx]

.

<3

[sixman85]

I have been happily married for 7 years but my husband knows he shares my heart with Daniel Johns!! LOL I have loved the chair since I was a silly 14y/o girl and now I'm 26 and passing the love for them to my 9 and 6 year olds. Young Modern is fabulous just like every other thing these guys have ever done! Rock on Boys!!!

[Alejoacuna]

shit... ur crazy

[HowPoetic]

this song seriously makes me sooo happy. . .and i have no idea why. =D something about this song just gives me release. lol i think the look on the drummers face @ 3:32-3:33 and 3:52-3:53 is freakin' PRICELESS!! he kinda looks the way i feel whenever i hear this song. GO SILVERCHAIR!!

[DKfan87]

Daniel fucking looks like Johnny Depp in this video.

[smurf675]

im not a big silverchair fan but this tunne kicks ass!!!!

[joandino]

get lost

[KianLowes]

hahaha, your soft

[joandino]

dude i never insult you here......all im saying is that they suk now and is true ....plus your fucking 12 years old and dont know shit about the music we listen in the 90s..

[KianLowes]

12 years old? Hah, ok before you say shit about me not knowing, i listen to rage against the machine, soundgarden, old silverchair,alice in chains, primus and heaps more. And you were only 2 years off, im 14

[KianLowes]

yeah and i saw them in 2007 playing songs from their latest album, and they rocked aswell, there music sounded nothing like it did on the album, so if you want the old silverchair, get off your ass and search for it.

[joandino]

silverchair was silverchair till this album....i miss silvechair

[KianLowes]

there is more than 1 style of music, and musiscians arent always for the fans, you need to learn to broaden your musical tastes, silverchair will always be silverchair.

[crazykit7]

I love the guitar in this.

[HowPoetic]

i seriously love this song to pieces. Something about it just makes me love life. as corny as that sounds......the look on the drummers face towards the end of the video gets me everytime. its wonderful

[jdccec]

this song is brilliant. I too listened to that cueshe song, and I think the one part of the chorus is definitely a rip off. The rest of the song sounds like crap, but they stole a piece of this one. My honey Daniel needs to sue them.

[Mahrkuss]

Silverchair has always been my all-time favorite band, even though I've strayed from this kind of music. I've covered most of frogstomp back in highschool when I first started playing guitar in a band. Loved playing Madman.

That said; I listened to the cueshe song, and though I couldn't stand the song and the lead singer looks like a fucking douchbag, it really doesn't seem like a blatant rip off. Its similar, but hardly a rip off.

[lemey86]

watch over me..ahhee

[amdg04]

guys there's a rumor the song "stay by cueshe" a band from asia has a rip off of this song...could u kindly listen to the song "stay" just search(cueshe - stay)...and give a comment if there's a similarity...ty

[pops081884]

i think it was just a coincidence.

[fromdusticame]

cueshe's a fucking boyband. and they did rip this off.

[thalia066]

i like this song

[permanentgrin]

DJ kinda looks like a blonde Paula Cole in this one.

[jennie71379]

oh my GOD he DOES!!! weird

[skelterboi21]

is it jst me or did he get skinner??i mean like he luks soo much more cuter with a lil bit more volume on his cheeek!!

[silversunpickups11]

I wish someone could watch over me and be their greatest view.

[astristar]

love this song super

[brandonburke92]

i cnt stop listening to this song

[TTBurger88]

Excellent video quality of this video on youtube so far

[godfather19]

he looks so pretty here

[silverchariot88]

His hair is short now but i think its cute in a very George Michael kind of way

[vivalagunsana]

adoro essa musica !!!!!!

toca la no fundo

[VittoIB]

This song makes me so damn happy. I wish I could thank them in-person for making such a wonderful song :)

[morganlovesariane]

beautiful song

[samuraifreak4life]

PRAISE EVERYONE THAT LOVES SILVERCHAIR...FREAK THOSE WHO DON'T!

SilverChair Ish The Best Band Ever, And Daniel Ish Hawticles =] I Wonder What Made Him Have His Hair Short Nowadays.... I Miss The Long Hair!

[katarina1001]

i miss Daniel... : )

[Intelect26]

I forgot how much I like this song.

[aviationbabe2006]

Daniel's so sexy! He and I would look great together!!! :-)

[DjRondel]

I think it's their the best song. Very nice!

[radicalnation]

My life splits between the time before I heard this song, and the time after.

[levita18]

Wow, that was so exaggerative!

lol

[VittoIB]

I know how you feel. This is a very defining song. There are timeless songs in everyones' lives. This is definitely one for me :)

[Renji1]

I second that motion! Can't believe this was only 6 years ago though.  Seems so much longer somehow! Probably just thinking of how much things have changed since then...

[freemanhl2]

My life splits between the time before and after I heard Diorama, Silverchair is what got me into playing guitar, Changed my life

[emilyyam]

LOVE LOVE!!!

[TimHowardII]

I got this song on the old Tiger Woods 2003, and that song was very cool.

[dohdan]

Me too!! I kept hearing it in the background thinking, "That sounds like Silverchair."

[mandy9576]

thats a really pretty dude...

[laxity83]

the fungus in my milk??? wtf!

[yumalicous]

I pretty much love this song.

[jholofotutot]

daniel johns looked a lot better before.

[HotFackinGirl]

te amo nokturnal.

[AMZAROO]

the guy at 1:18 is like really hott

[ShazzaRose]

I absolutely love this song!

'Sigh' I miss the old days when Daniel Johns was that hot :(

Still a great band today!!!

xXShazzaXx

[coco311311]

[amanda18rn]

[palestra18]

DO CARALHO!

[terriblecat]

what happened to silverchair didnt think they relased anything after this cos singergot arthritis and binned it

[11RCHPrules11]

dude they got a new album out called young modern

[darshin95]

after this song it was downhill last best song old silverchair for life

[LolitaDansk]

I love this song!

[kasadmat]

I think it's good for them, that they are trying to create something new and different, but in my opinion Diorama was the best stuff they ever made.

[Edea161090]

What a beautiful song!!!!!

it sounds so slow... very grunge...

[coco311311]

this SONG GReat !!!! between all all of their good songs ever

[coco311311]

and Daniel looks So Pretty ...... this song is just GOOdd !!!

[DarkRoki]

This sounds like a Foo Fighters song...

[darshin95]

silverchair go back to the frogstomp days and the freak days you fukin rule back then but no dis respecting this song you rule THE GREATEST VIEW

[OmarP2]

If silverchair wants to go back to basics then they should be as heavy as this. That would be a start!

[0AdRiaNleE0]

the greatest view of me....

[karrantees]

this is only one of their coolest songs in their album diorama...

[shirleylucie]

This is such a good song. My favourite !!

[tifferz445]

I love this song=]

[victoriabeatricesf]

nooooossa,muito boaa essa música !

tempããão que não escutava ela !

:TT

[emotakashi]

this is such an incredible song, words don't even describe it

[AVAmarc182]

fuck off how good is this!?... this song is exactly the same as the time I first heard it, the song that got me into the chair

[bluskye666]

me too:)

[RedPegPete]

Definitely one of their best, love this song, love this album, LOVE this band!!!!

[n0face666]

What does the video mean? Like a rocket building hotel or something? I'm clueless.

[dohdan]

Most underrated rock band that I can think of... whoever said they "should have stopped after Neon Ballroom" doesn't understand what rock is about. Should a band stop writing and playing music because their best hits are behind them or their style is abrasive to current trends? I guess I should have stopped playing basketball since I'll never play as well as I did when I was 21... what's the point?

[topoto11]

I do not think they are underrated; i mean if you really like the band you have to accept that they were so influenced by the big four, and after Freak Show, they proved they are not a real grunge band; Siverchair is a good band, but this song is really good.Unfortunately, i always got the feeling that NB could have been a better album.

[dohdan]

Why is it a bad thing to have influences? (i.e. Pearl Jam/Neil Young)

[RedPegPete]

To say that their best hits are behind them is totally untrue. "Straight Lines" was huge, Young Modern is a masterpiece as was Diorama.

[dohdan]

I haven't heard any of their new stuff. I believe you, though. I mentioned in an earlier post that I think they are underrated because I think they are immensely talented and a lot of people seem to want to write them off as pretty boy rock. They are completely unpopular here in the States... most people just think of Frogstomp. I have been so busy and addicted to sports talk radio that 'The Greatest View' is probably the last song I've heard from them.

[takeantidote]

wouldn't call it a masterpiece but yea it was good and straight lines had to be huge got voted number 2 in the hotest 100 this year

[DisguiseDK]

Damn.. this is first time, I hear this song, and I was amazed and extremely excited after hearing the first part of the song. I loved it. But then it turned to some poppy Nickleback-alike, and I realized, it sucks. Sad. Silverchair should've stopped after "Neon Ballroom"

[xshieldscorpx]

saudades 5 ou 6 anos =}

[halena83]

this is a best song..i feel in love with silverchair from this song

[iamsam79]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!

[kamikakes]

i jus saw them in cincert play this song and they were soo AWESOME

[beberoo]

i'm spreading the love this christmas: i love this song. i love silverchair. i love daniel johns.:)

[yay4pinkandyay4me]

Awesome song! I just heard it on tv and I forgot about it and so I looked it up here and I love it again!!!!! =D

[fryzy269]

Silverchair are the best. my mum used to think daniel look like a girl because he was very skinny, had long hair and had a bit of a cute face, now he looks like a man.

[elitereel]

the opening riff is great

but the rest is shit

[jennie71379]

are you friggin crazy? this song is awesome

[serdar1]

i know yer!!!!!!!!!!

[crapdesigns]

and so are you.. This song is one of the greatest! you know nothing about music.

[rodrigoNIN6]

i don't like the hair's look of daniel i prefer the look that he had in neon ballroom or diorama

[jennie71379]

i know how you feel. I like daniel best in the frogstomp/freak show era. However, I'm learning to deal with his new short do. :-)

[loranuchka]

hey hey he sings :"and now i feel like u let me go" while i thought he sang "now i feel like you letting go"! its an outrage!!

[chicovidaloka1]

demaiissss!!!!

[kasadmat]

I wish they would make more music like on Diorama, it's a great album.

[maris2411]

so r they like big shots in australia?i saw this song on viva long time ago,but i never heard anything about them after that.

[JamieLeaWalton]

their new album was # 1 in australia. It also walked away with most of the top awards for their grammy equivalent. Best song, best album, best band.

2007- YOUNG MODERN- SILVERCHAIR

And for those of you who think they are dumb for changing formats.. grow up. Umm even the Beatles grew up and changed. Its a fact of life for a musicians who get record contracts in their teens.

[maris2411]

jamieleawalton thx for the info i agree with u

[JamieLeaWalton]

No problem. Silverchair rocks the world.

[kushbooq]

They're huge in Australia :)

[drunkyard009]

ur the fungus in my milk

[xhardcorechicx]

Ok I remember when sliver chair came out .They ask them what was there favorite bands that year. metal was of them like Pantera,Helmet,tool,Rage but there loved classic rock as well like Led Zepplin ,The beatels.

[darkaoshi27]

Silverchair rocks the world.......period!

[MakeYourself1987]

I listened to this song the other day on the radio. Good thing I had my cell to get the name of the song. I like it.

[jennie71379]

your lucky...I never hear any silverchair at all on the radio

[MakeYourself1987]

Lucky? lol I've never heard of them until that night. This was maybe less than a week ago when I just decided to go for a drive. This song seems old and to me, they KIND OF sound a little like Foo Fighters, the vocals effects mainly when he sings the chorus.

[jennie71379]

check out all their songs if you want-they fucking rock....:-)

[MakeYourself1987]

Thanks for the tip I suppose. I need a life so I'll check it out I guess.

[MotaroII]

Im obsessed with this song.

[SpanishCity09]

the special effects in this are awsome! they always do so well with thier videos! rock on silverchair!

[Jur1979]

Silverchair will always have a place in my heart from the frogstomp era till now. they rock!! great video, Daniel and the guys now how to make F%@!king awesome music!

[maris2411]

I looooooooove this song...and the video is gr8!

[mybonnie2008]

I cant believe This will be their next single :)

Accord Mediabase alternative

[riseofthephoenix]

what ??? this osng came out about four years ago

[mybonnie2008]

Check out Billboard Going Adds for this week

[jennie71379]

this song is great--I lost track of silverchair like, in 1999 when Daniel was in the beginning stages of anorexia. Just rediscovering them now and all they've done since then. I will always love silverchair!

[73mercurygirl]

theyre talent makes them sooooo sexy!

[dahfshx]

The video clip is so fuckin' cool!

Really well made!

[preatorist]

i'm watching u watch over me...n i've got the greatest view from here..they rock!!!!

[nhorsharfina]

this song is so emotional

[kenny4625]

my favorite part of the video 2:23-2:48 silverchair rocks!!

[frankwallace36]

Hehe - Yep that the part... And the same bit in the beginning.

[frankwallace36]

THAT INTRO BIT (and later on in the track) IS THE BEST!

[AMZAROO]

hottie at 1:18

haha good song

in fact excellent song!

[ShenmueAtheist]

the band will forever be one of my favorites

[roifrance26]

great song!

[RoseofGilead]

We've seen a wider sample of silverchair's writing abilities, in quite a few styles. I personally enjoy silverchair's music more than Nirvana's (specifically the Freak Show and Neon Ballroom albums; Frogstomp was good, teen angsty fun, and everything after Neon Ballroom has been sub par, to me, with one or two single songs as exceptions), but I'm not going to sit here and act like Nirvana didn't have the same talent.

[RoseofGilead]

To comment on the Nirvana vs. silverchair argument:

Nirvana's true potential was never really shown due to how suddenly Cobain died. The band started roughly in the mid-1980s, released their first single in 1988, and then disbanded in 1994. So, who knows what direction their music may have gone in if they'd been able to continue making music for 15 years (which is about how long silverchair has been a band).

[renamedo]

who write the songs?

[fuckaustin]

daniel

[neri7783]

yeah i love silverchair! grew up with their music. my only wish is to watch them live in concert!! please come to the philippines. we love you heaps!!

[afrobaby1]

I don't mean Silverchair suck, i meant people who haven't heard of them. ;)

[grimtehme]

i have heard of silverchair i was talking bout the other band gah!

[crapdesigns]

grimtehme-- Never heard of Silverchair?? I'm from the Philippines but I knew and loved them heaps! these Aussies are the best man! they are the world's most underrated band..

[ShenmueAtheist]

An amazing song by an amazing band

[dohdan]

Never heard of Silverchair?? You must be under 20.

[grimtehme]

im from aus and i never heard of them

[afrobaby1]

u suck

Hell yea, silverchair!
