Leftfield - Swords

[panofsky2005]

I close my eyes.

I wear my sword at my side (x2).

Cleanse me.

Deep in the fire.

I have become pure water.

[Tikayyan]

I never heard this song in my life until I saw it on a barbering video. Bands like this are ones I'm sorry I missed back in the day.

"Criminally Overlooked" is spot on. Fantastic band, fantastic video.

[schwantz037]

29 dislikes, there's some odd people out there.

[psykilll]

This is an awesome (fan made?) tribute to Leftfield!

[devixdesign]

[trilem]

@devixdesign and Abso' fukin' lutely ^^cut & censored version.

[zutekeela]

Leftfield is too deep for yer soul

[joy00923]

They boycott Israel while their country drops bombs on Libya and Afghanistan!

[ggeneh71]

What a great song! This video totally screws it up with all of the voice overs.

[gynthagh]

I heard a left field song years ago and forgot the song, All I know is it was on a playstation magazine dvd, dont think I will ever find it. :(

[distractile]

@gynthagh Afrika Shox.

[gynthagh]

@distractile OMG 10 years I wondered what this song was :) Thanks so much can finally hear it again

[dudemanfella]

An utterly superb song for a troubled world! :)

[Wippa9]

F**king beautiful song

[BeNiShMcFly]

1:43 SAAB 900 classic :)

[PsyhoLogic]

unthinkable combination of samples and just perfect clear sound ( i have DVD album )

[69DoCC]

@PsyhoLogic whats the name of the DVD?

[poussecafe3]

Nice song, pity about all the ***** bouncing around in cars in the rain. Sort of lost me that did.

[billywhizz220cdi]

1 of my favorite songs..... relax on the sofa, turn the bass up a little, close your eyes and enjoy......... the best track on rhythm&stealth.... and one of leftfields finest..

[MRCOODIE]

i can't wait to se them at the LED festival. my summer is complete :-)

[escalierjerome]

letfield:excellent!!!

[brettri1]

i heard this years ago and never realised how good it was until the last week.... know its in my top 5 of all time... just keep playing it !! :)

[jackbo13]

Well that song went no where. 

[LisforLiars]

i think i just fell asleep thereeeee.

[EmmaTowson]

Numbing my brain right now..aha can't go wrong with thiis Quality

[JODIDOMIZIO]

One of the best techno/rock band from the 90's. Their song with John Lydon is a masterpiece. I am listening to "Rythm and Stealth" for the first time in year and the music is still brilliant...Wish they could still record some other stuff !

[JonasJudah]

I flow through the 'net's sea in search of fun things to see but I always come back to this piece both the video and the beat - so on the money.

Fully dig what oXane84 said, very good.

Your heart was right on the bulls eye.

[artemisstrailertrash]

One of the most under-rated bands of the millenium. Anyone who treasures this music has a beautiful soul..... Peace

[TheWindfull]

Such a moving sound.

Reminds me of Bristol acts such as Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Allflaws

[TCWGolddoGGer]

Headlining Boardmasters 2010!

[daze1210]

Great song, great video

[faflote]

[davidlucasfer]

very good

[TheJTPJ]

im in awe

[bikemess]

brilliant - just brilliant!.

[harikaimal]

Just like one other comment said, just like Leftfield, perfect. It's an amazing video. The rum thing is that I had this on my disk, yet never watched it until I browsed to this page. It's mind-blowing, and assumes you're really familiar with the song, which goes without saying. Incredible video, amazing to show how people really enjoy music...

[alfaceandrice]

It makes me feel in so many places in the world. A rainy day in Berlin. Christmas in New York. Autumn in Paris. Sunset in Rio. Summer in Sydney. Saturday in Tokyo. In a South African ghetto. A cloudy day in London. A warm night in Barcelona. Winter in Moscow. F*ck Music!!

[feabornset]

lol people are disliking your great understanding

[jiltedkiller]

Can Leftfield do anything wrong? It's like utter perfection

[lllolllolllolllo]

it makes me think.....

this song is deep and cool (3u0)

[strav12]

WOW! Awesome video. Awesome track. Way too cool......

[audster1969]

Whoaaaaaaa Amazing!!!!! Flippin out there....AMEN 4 Leftfield!

[yozeroz]

I never really understood this video. There is something about it that seems a bit bleek too. but also normal. and reaching out to people. music that inspires people or makes them feel something. true art.

[Hortaltera]

The various people singing along to the tune (often out of key) makes this video truly brilliant to me. To conclude with the description: "Criminally overlooked".

[petelevy]

Danger, in every corner. I have become pure water. I can identify. I close my eyes. I wear my sword at my side [x2] Cleanse me. Deep in the fire. I have become pure water. I wear my sword at my side [x4] I have become pure water [x2] I have become pure water

[nabuhodenozor1]

Its my favorite tracki, the best one from 5 years

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING LOVE IT!!!

............... thanks for lirycs :)

[kiwanotree]

Danger, in every corner I have become pure water I can identify I close my eyes I wear my sword at my side (x2) Cleanse me Deep in the fire I have become pure water I wear my sword at my side (x4) I have become pure water (x2) I have become pure water

[nathanforst]

Amazing

[viperasaliens]

volume to the maximum and relax

[urdadable]

celestial

[jbomber6054]

man this is too awesome!

[oXane84]

this video is beautiful

to me it's about d multitude of personal universes existing @ the same time - the way we all live our lives but can find communal inputs sometimes, like listening to the same music over the radio

this video represents d various highly personal takes we can have on the same thing

everyone's a warrior, struggling with the different things we encounter in live, but struggling all the same nevertheless

the original song being deformed is a small price to pay 4 such a msg.

[GeorgiaTzav]

@oXane84  wow... respect to your philosophy!!

[oXane84]

@GeorgiaTzav Thanks! Glad you (and 21 others, as i see now) liked what I wrote! Came from the heart. peace.

[LondonCycling]

@oXane84 so it's not just an expensive car advert?

[udavidovic]

@oXane84 Beautiful comment. So insightful.

[katana82]

This is my favourite Leftfield track... Dark, and a fucking wicked bassline!

[stewnta]

It took a few times listenin...but this is a phatt azz tune. Wish i could get it without all the talkin script in it.

[spnnngdisc1]

I have it,on white label

[ashishleel]

there is a proper listening version of it wich sounds so phat on a good system. its on their old album called rythum and stealth

[djkane1980]

Cracking tune!

[chonxy1]

This puts a shiver down my spine.........EVERYTIME i listen to it!

[nutrimentia]

Nice video. Love this song.

[Harbaugh95MVP]

The Indian folks are hilarious

[mojo19792003]

This track got me through Uni. We used to listen to it always before we went out.

[Dafariii]

wow, same here

[XKorpseX]

was wondering how everyone interprets these lyrics. I love this song, But dont understand lyrics. can anyone tell me what this song is about?

[nutrimentia]

Who cares? Just enjoy them as they are, in the moment.

[s4mba]

my interpretation:

Cleanse me. (<- feel free)

Deep in the fire. (<- club, dancefloor)

I have become pure water. (<- feel the music and energy)

I wear my sword at my side. (<- drugs, friends, ...)

hard to explain.. just find your own definition!

awesome track. 5/5

[stickyfox]

2:11 is awesome.

[doeelectro]

im off to listen to all my leftfeild albums now :)))) this song is a fucking masterpiece <3

[butcherofbielawa]

[Herotwinz]

i really do..

[tjawblues83]

Too good

[oliverft82]

so yeah, this video is really good... am i on the right comment board for leftfield, for a minute there i thought i was on imdb.

[drog1998]

@oliverft82 lol

[mondeitur]

dundee is a fictional character man, glad your "national treasure" is out of a movie from the mid 80s.

[ComradeCrusty]

Dundee is not a fictional character "mon" ...read up on your history, the real Dundee IS a national hero, he was killed by Australian Government agents and police because he grew cannabis and wanted to protect his homestead. They came to get him, shootout went down, he went down. With guns a blazin. He's a hero because he didn't take no shit. God rest his soul.

[bigaussieguy]

Dont be knocking Dundee that man is a national F*%kin treasure, as for HB i had to google him to find out who you where talking about, i then realized he was from Neighbors a show Australians dont watch but export much like fosters, non of us drink that camels piss by the way,but please enlighten us all to what majestic country where tards watch neighbors enough to know the characters names, could it be England ?

[bigaussieguy]

pffft and we all ride around on kangaroos Tool

[hobson1979]

Yeah, that would'nt surprise me...ooh forgot...Crocodile Dundee and Harold Bishop as well. Don't it make you proud kid.

[hobson1979]

Haha, where'd you get Australian from? The only thing from there is Rolf Harris.

[FrischluftMetaler]

Are they english ore from australia

[Bolshyblue]

Look it up on the internet. :P

[judannjohn]

Dudey Da Brits mon

[FrischluftMetaler]

What !?

[dubfrog]

dont even  ?

[hobson1979]

Saw Leftfield live at Glastonbury in 2000 and it was absolutely mental. They rocked it. They add a bit more to their music live. My ears were ringing for days after.

[FAUVEEX]

Leftfield is something different from many electric music units, may be only my taste.

I love their music.

[sashlick]

One word "Awesome"

[8830609]

its just like me when i listen to this song i be talking like they do zike

[PIIIEEET]

Great Idea, Thumb up!

[marksman75]

it looks like if the end of the world was about to happen...

[rustynest]

original idea

[rustynest]

... aaaaaand performance

[LadySleek83]

Its sounds great reversed! I found a piece of softward that allowed me to reverse the track and put it on my ipod!

Its chilling

[chimeraweaver]

You don't see many videos that enhance a song like this. Love it!

[ligjimmersteubenshaf]

One of my favorite songs. Listened to it a million times. I dont like this video at all. First time I saw it.

[terrasidius]

genius, one of their best tracks and totally underrated, also Afro Ride form the Afro Left single is so awesome

[8830609]

this video fucking rocks i love the people talking

[Zenman1976]

Oh and the ending, Its not how its supposed to be, with a highway cutting through the rainy countryside.. MESSAGE ;)

[Zenman1976]

Leftfield's stuff was awesome, really shocking that he was not far more popular. His first album is nigh on perfection & Afro Ride is seminal. He also knows how to work in other styles than just standard 4/4 which for the genre is quite rare.

[drplbiftin]

I love this song but really dislike this video. I want to hear the original music not people singing over the top of it.

[deejayzyx]

feels like a commercial

leftfield has far better stuff than this

[DoReMiIsMyGod]

cool cars

[1TRUEJUNGLIST]

live by it, die by it

[13pinguins]

it s like different people, different situations and somehow all united through the emotion of this one very same song, almost collective thinking in one single direction, in one constant thought, a focus.

[varanga]

maybe u can't understand the main idea of the video...

[rentojad]

Oh babe this is perfection.

[Nowy1978]

awsome song, brilliant video, brings back the memories...

[mookie427]

absolutely one of the best videos ever made, of one of the most underrated but brilliant tracks Leftfield made

[defbonez]

yeah

[bigbeefyballs51]

rite enough like, ill buy an ipod, put this song on, hire a smoke machine, close of all the roads, wait till night, get all my mates to stand in the road and look up at the sky while i listen 2 my ipod

[NEWDEAL01]

Looking for a new mate??Right up for that.

[DavySolaris]

try listening to this song while on a hill, in the dead of night, mist all around you, the sound of cars roaring in the distance, with your mates just staring into the stars. i did one night last year and it just took me away. beautiful song.

[puffalobill]

dark downbeat dance at its very best.

[theratking]

i luv the song but this video ruins it for me.

[happyguy4ever]

Cool

[Cirkusphreak]

Awesome...awesome track. Seems that their music can move anyone, just like the array of folks in the video. Everyone gets something different..but they each got *something*.

[dropsy24]

f-ing superb :)

[cocaON]

hidden energy...

[aloisseimum]

like this fat negro singing

[MattyDienhoff]

Great song, and the video is deep without being too artsy, in my opinion...

[pierzobad]

one of my fav track!! classic

[rb306]

Great song, average video. They ruined it by adding the people's singing, talking and sound effects over the top of the song. Eurgh.

[paddythetinker]

too right a bit to cheesy for me tha

[beecraft1]

fucking brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[waydeewaydee]

Takes me back, I remember buying Rhythm and Stealth in 1999 and being blown away by it - imo one of the best works of British electronic music ever.

I'd never seen this video but its very well done, compliments the track nicely. Shame we'll likely never hear any new Leftfield stuff though :( treasure your cd's and vinyl, they're already classics!

[ironman9]

ya right behind Leftism ;)

[klakart]

now i have 24 y h la prémière fois ke g écoute swords c'était en 2000.magic song!!!!!!!!!!! really booo wikid jungle pza

[cybermessiah]

just fantastic!

[Electrofanka]

Great video showing indifference. Well done!

[Electrofanka]

Great video showing indifference. Well done!

[JonasJudah]

Damn, who did the video?

nice shots, nicely put together

[trenthanovercouk]

legend!!

[keki2012]

i just remembered this tune and had to look it up on tube, thanks

[asturlondres]

listen to this song and think "oh boy those were the days..."
