Civil Twilight - Soldier (Video)

[lozoft9]

A band that can be atmospheric and moody...and still rock HARD = sonic gold.

Dear Coldplay and Radiohead,

It's just no good anymore.

The same stuff over and over again?

That's why I leaving you.

Goodbye.

[rebel32degrees]

These guys are so sick live. Its just amazing to watch them perform their craft so well and with such intensity. I can't wait for the new album to drop in March. been listening to a couple teasers off their facebook page. A tour best be following the release!

[SaraSchommer]

The lead singer kinda reminds me of Edward from twilight c:

[Heatherosie]

Pre-order Civil Twilight's new album Holy Weather on iTunes and get Fire Escape as the instant grat track and 3 special bonus tracks only available to pre-orders! It's just enough to get you through until the album comes out next month!

[PASABE69]

totlamente espectacular que banda mas del putas felicitaciones son nuevos para mi pero pronto seran favoritos

[Gabbs5522]

lead singer is so cute! reminds me of jude law in a way lol

[SupaVex]

reminds me of Seether Fine Again video clip..

there also Wond-up records

[rosamaria43curtis]

love these guys!!!

[honeybadger815]

No, this guy's voice sounds more like the singer from The Fray. I don't care what anyone else says. Shut up. The end.

[jonahcbarnett]

@honeybadger815

definitely Bono if he sounds like ANYONE...similarities to the fray and coldplay, but THEY sound like Bono as well, sooooo, nuff said

[ExpendableMike]

@jonahcbarnett Coldplay? Are you tone deaf? I agree with the Fray, but this is nothing like Coldplay.

[xoimlovinlifexo]

Great band but so underrated.

[coverpointcat]

I love this band - hope they tour the UK soon...!

[jonahcbarnett]

@Shadowcorporation

wtf are you talking about

[jonahcbarnett]

@Shadowcorporation

and every rock song ever made post '61 is a direct rip off off the beatles

who cares enjoy and shut the fuck up with the hating

[SciFiWebcam]

He sounds a little like the singer from Maroon 5 (only Maroon 5's voice is a little deeper) and he looks like Elijah Wood with my eyebrows, only a little bigger. WTF, right?

[TuesdayNightsFeed]

Does anyone know what kind pickups the guitarist is using??!!

[IAMISCOOL]

I was looking at the lead singer and guitarist and thinking, "Woah, they totally look like brothers."

Turns out they actually are! XD

[bekmartinez]

SO BLOODY GOOD

[Jcplfan]

I LOVE this band, and I just find it funny how every says he looks EXACTLY like Robert Pattinson. IN a way, he totally does.

[ohwatermelonninja]

isn't it ironic how the lead singer bears a striking resemblance to Edward Cullen?? LoL [no wonder they're called Civil Twilight]

AmaZing BaNd ♥

[bellzOH17]

@ohwatermelonninja haha thats what i said!! but thats not why  their named that theyve been around since 1996

[annazawadzka1990]

@ohwatermelonninja he's only a little similar to him. But not the same.

band is great

[IAMISCOOL]

@ohwatermelonninja

... No. Just no.

[FinneganMurphy1]

Great tune!

[muddsuck]

Like a mix between The Police and U2. This band is seriously underrated.

[maumonterrey]

@muddsuck - Yes, u are right, i like it.

[tooFRESHcookies]

love this fucking song

[Cjoadcyk]

Woot! I'm gonna see them play on the 23rd! Can not wait!

[nightshot999]

this band is amazing!

[stan300zx]

Amazing Great SOUND!

[iamxray1256]

If I don't look at the video, this is a good song.

[scootw50]

a power trio. a singer with a distinct voice who plays bass and piano. playing good rock n' roll in a pop format. catchy songs. i do declare that 'civil twilight' are the new 'the police'. and there is nothing wrong with that.

[laughinbrat]

What type of guitar is the singer using???

[ferchomdo61]

@laughinbrat its not a guitar, is a bass.. and its fender, maybe precision bass or jazz bass

[metheasian]

Bro looks like Edward Cullen....

[ferchomdo61]

@metheasian i tought i was the only one who thinks that

[batman6908]

y does he look like the douche from twilight

[vjx360]

love letters in sky but this song just destroid it this song rocks!!!!!

[Emmanuel36990]

i never get tired of this song, i could listen to it all day.

[iammelion]

They give the best hugs ever. Love them <3

[loneranger0192]

GREAT SONG. :D

[dawiser1]

Damn thats a good song. I just imagine it in some modern war movie :D

[SBandstraProductions]

i wonder if they need a 4th player who just stands there and jams out up there with them?

[femalerepear224]

@SBandstraProductions sign me up sir!

[SILVERTINKER4578]

OMG!! HE KINDA LOOK LIKE david paterson :o omg i kno david paterson name :o

[TheStyx44]

vevo get off utube!!

[Silkenkilly]

So lemme get this straight-

"The singer's voice alone" + "the drummer's amazing skills alone" + "the third guy's guitar playing alone is awesome" = "together they are amazing?"

Lol. Does amazing just cancel out awesome? Is awesome not as good as amazing? Or did you get excited and run out of adjectives that begin with A? 4 Thumbs up for at least liking them so much you ceased to make sense.. Eh let us make it 5. What the heck.

[kayren11]

@Silkenkilly Why so mean?

[ILoveRelientK1]

This band deserves much more recognition than they get.! :)

[mysty147]

i love trios...this is my new favorite,,,they deserve it

[MrBrinkfan]

how does this band not have 4000000,0000000000,00000000000­00000 subscribers + views? oh ya, rap...

[IAmAnnarchy]

Man why is it that people are starting to mention that movie on this band songs too. Please let's not ruin it.

[shadowbunnyx]

For the record, if Robert Pattinsonstarted a band it would be shit. This is real music and a good band. Don't judge on his similarities to him.

[LyricallyFree21]

@shadowbunnyx Robert Pattinson is an incredible artist, he doesnt even need a band he can go solo....and dont be bias cuz he does Twilight

[shadowbunnyx]

For the record, if he started a band it would be shit. This is real music and a good band. Don't judge on his similarities to him.

[afoxe1]

this is what would happen if Robert Pattinson got a hair cut and started a rock band. :)

[LyricallyFree21]

@afoxe1 He doesnt even sing this kind of music...his music is kind of bluesy and heartfelt ...i dont know the particular genre

[MegaTransparent]

@LyricallyFree21 He can't even sing like this. When Robert sings, you hardly understand what he's saying.

[LyricallyFree21]

@MegaTransparent So ur telling me ur ears dont work when he's singing "Never Think"?

[MegaTransparent]

@LyricallyFree21 I'm pretty much telling you, Robert Pattinson's singing is horrible.

[LyricallyFree21]

@MegaTransparent so apparently ur sucked into Pop Modern Culture and do not know music! Thats really sad cuz i love all music and its sad that people dont look beyond MTV for good music....expand ur Music Knowledge...I know music as being meaningful and passionate and soulful....instead of catchy mainstream that u obviously ONLY listen too....smh

(List me the artist u listen too)

[MegaTransparent]

@LyricallyFree21 Please don't assume that you know me. Because I'm the only one in my school that listens to something other than pop, hip hop and rap. I listen to music base on lyrics and the sound. A list of artist i listen to? Half of them you probably haven't even heard of. The Saturdays The Wanted Zaho Civil Twilight Muse Lily Allen St. Lola and the Field Breaking Benjamin Flyleaf 2am Club One Republic MBLAQ & many many more. I actually listen to music from outside of my country.

[LyricallyFree21]

@MegaTransparent No one is saying they know u, first off and from ur listing u listen to basically the same genre...Soooo

[MegaTransparent]

@LyricallyFree21 Your comment is what is saying that you apparently know me. Your telling me that i only listen to catchy mainstream just cause i think Robert Pattinson singing is bad. First of all, those artist aren't pop. Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin isn't pop. MBLAQ is K-pop which is much different from America's pop. I actually expand my knowledge to other countries instead of listening to Kesha or Katy Perry. Second, I hate MTV. So shut up, cause your being immature.

[LyricallyFree21]

@MegaTransparent Lol, Obviously someone is really upset ...Lol ...like i said I DONT KNOW U ..I've listen 2 half of those artist u listed, like Flyleaf&i love Muse.i listen & enjoy many different genres of music.A lot of J-Pop and J-Rock.Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, Utada Hikaru, Olivia Lufkin...etc... and J-Rock --> Maximum The Hormone & Nightmare ...I listen to Sade (Jazz) --Florence and the Machine <-I love her (Indie Pop)...Lykke Li ..I listen to a lot of INDIE but i listen to everything else

[MegaTransparent]

@LyricallyFree21 So please don't tell me that i need to expand my music knowledge when you don't even know me.

[afoxe1]

this is what would happen if Robert Pattinson got a hair cut and started a rock band. :)

[Shaideu]

I've seen this band live; they are as great sounding and hot as they all appear! CIVIL TWILIGHT FOREVER

[AstroRealmz]

BEASTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peachkey]

i keep on seeing edward from twilight xDD

[ASacredSpirit]

@peachkey no...just stop. -.-

[Escapethehawthorne]

@peachkey hahaha i knew i wasnt the only one that thought that

[lindabphoenix]

LUV U GUYS! Dont see much about you touring currently...fact nothing...R U still?

[Escapethehawthorne]

@lindabphoenix actually idk bout tours but im seeing them on Saturday so they r definitely playing still

[jriccioj]

i think theyre even better live!

[Vthewolf1]

the beginnin is SO SICK! <3 this band

[sidster777]

they were awsome lastnight

[ExistUNDRGROUND]

Chills.

[YogaGuru93]

Their songs remind me so much of really early U2. This is a magnificent band.

[roxylove365]

Saw them in concer with paper tongues amazing bands and its about time they get the recognition they deserve.

[starrygaze56]

I love this band

[ColdGreenChili]

does anybody else hear just a bit of The Police in this? good for them. after all, i guess the 80's are old enough to be considered a "vintage influence".

[ronrockstar1]

@ColdGreenChili

yup! they even credit the Police as an influence on their website. I hear lots of The Verve and U2 also.

[heinzfoot57]

@ColdGreenChili I heard it live the other day and you could hear the bass line better and it sounded like it could have been a Police b-side.

[ASacredSpirit]

damn this is a kick-ass song.

[kris1329]

Drummer reminds me of a young Remus Lupin. <3

[brandofan17]

They are brilliant performers. I got to meet him at a cafe in my town. They performed all their songs plus the two covers. They're amazing.

[sicksox910]

theres a lot of really good music out today if you get past all the superficial bull shit the blonde bimbos like to hear. you just have to look for it.

[gearsbeast360]

drummer is awesome

[gearsbeast360]

these guys are awesome

[jmpjose]

like this song

[ratpigger]

I am new to Civil Twilight and i do like their music. HOWEVER, to sya theyre better than Muse is a stretch. Even still, its like comparing The Verve to Queen, while both good in their own right, both are very different styles of music. I give the BIG edge to Muse.

[gurlscansk8]

the singer looks ike r patts in a way

[birdie1194]

@gurlscansk8 what way is that? he looks nothing like rob

[KingJMSK]

Heres the thing, these guys arent just good on youtube, they are exceptional live. I have seen them and it was a great concert. It is a shame the society that we live in, Bieber should have 32 thousand views and Civil Twilight should have 160 million views. Society is ran by single minded people who don't understand the vibrant expressions of art.

[lilchucknorris20]

Civil Twilight should be big, but of course (and unfortunately) the chances are super low. They're new, they sound good, and that's why nobody will like them in the "big biz."

[Porojukaha]

@lilchucknorris20 so true! if you dont suck no one wants to sign you to a label. I swear producers these days troll the dingiest bars looking for the most vile refuse of the music industry and they put that on the radio. that or they try to find some hot little girl with no sexual inhibitions and invent a bunch of BS they call music for her to sing while they hope everyone will be too busy staring at her boobs to notice how much her music sucks....then theres Justin Beiber, but lets not go there

[rockpicschick]

@Porojukaha i couldn't have said it better @lilchucknorris20!!

[Porojukaha]

Dude, SOO much better than Muse! Muse is like Radiohead. a few great songs and a lot of "WTF was that!?!"

I hope civil twilight makes it BIG, but i doubt it, they dont suck so how could they get on the radio?

[porktornado]

@Porojukah they're on sirius/xm. stick with top40 if you think radiohead only has "a few great songs"

[MsTwilightSagas]

I thought I was Robert P.........

Oh God

[gurlscansk8]

@MsTwilightSagas wow u know rob does not sing that good lmao

[MKfreak16]

He kinda looks like Edward Cullen....big minus for me. But the music rocks, and I'm glad theyre out there.

[9inchNirvana]

once again power trios prove to be amazing

[CaliDreamer21]

the lead singer could be a mutated cockroach and i'd still love this band. people, let your ears decide what's good music, not your eyes.

[chinget2003]

i love everything they stand for and their presentation is breathtaking

[peaces999]

Am i the only one that thinks, "MUSE" when i see them? The music genre, and the musicians

[MKfreak16]

@peaces999 No youre not the only one...I thought these guys were muse when I heard Letters From the Sky

[cornobbler]

@peaces999 too true.

[khawesy]

reminiscent of The Police...very cool

[TheDownchica]

if you dont look at him its better lol i love them so much tho

[like2iceskate123]

amazing voice

[lLouisLovesSkillet13]

loves these guys

[sWaGaLyKcRaZy]

creepy guy ..great song.. .lmao jk

[KingJMSK]

Lead singer looks like the guy from twilight LOL

[alexm121212]

I get to see them perform tonight in Rochester nY! IM soooo excited

[like2iceskate123]

The singer's voice is so unique and clear, This is one of my favorite bands. they are so good. beyond good. Just the singer's voice alone, the drummer's amazing drum skills alone, and the third guy's guitar playin alone are awesome, and together they are amazing. this song has a good pulse, very catchy. So so so much better than the overplayed pop and rap music that comes on now. And yet, they are so underrated. But sooooooo good!! <3

[shelibeli40]

@like2iceskate123 I agree and I can hear alot of Jeff Buckley influence in his voice...very unique...we don't hear this kind of talent very often. This band deserves to be heard and appreciated!

[AdamThePirateSS3]

@like2iceskate123

do they have a bass???

[juniwilliams]

@AdamThePirateSS3 Steven McKellar, lead singer, does vocals, bass, keyboards/piano. Cant you hear the bass? he's also holding it. Its funny, i went to school with this geezer years back in South Africa. He was 4 years ahead of me. I remember sitting in assembly when he was a row in front of me. Didn't know he got so much fame until a mate of mine played this song in his car.

[AdamThePirateSS3]

@juniwilliams i saw it and heard it of course but i was just wondering whether he is the one who sings plays the bass and piano................that one is cool.......

[MrNENE141]

wow there good

[boonediggity]

Great sound and feel, I luvz dem! But ... Is this the same set as Letters From the Sky? Just reversed with a projector? Hmm.. Oh well, like it matters anyways!

[dstdevan]

They are coming to my town in July. I know where I will be, great stuff!

[vangiepirate]

HE looks like edawrd. =P

[hbkfan1100]

I want to learn how to play the guitar

[HelloFade2]

He looks like a cross between Jacob Dylan and the lead singer of Breaking Benjamin.

[iajakpo]

@HelloFade2 Benjamin Bentley? :P

[HelloFade2]

@iajakpo his last name is Burnley actually

[synystersatriani]

@iajakpo I know a guy named benjamin bently

[CRZYCalindian]

Yea, i think in 30 years these guys are going to be doing a concert in Cleveland...yanno, at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame!

[kreeaytor]

psh! the dummer is soo much hotter then the lead singer.

[1stargazer12]

@kreeaytor the singer looks to boyish

[ohdaangitscindy]

@kreeaytor hell yea he is.

[kevinhuddle]

@kreeaytor since when is music about how hot you are.

[kreeaytor]

@kevinhuddle well dude. it kinda is. ino its mainly about the music. but all the big names in the music industry are at least somewhat attractive. i hate to say it but uglyness doesnt sell. the hotter you are the farther youll go. did you seriously not know that? have u been living under a rock your whole life??

[kevinhuddle]

@kreeaytor Im just saying it shouldnt be that way. Honestly it kinda pisses me off... thats why most mainstream music is shit. because its all about looks, your right uglyness doesnt sell and thats why if you want to look at hot people than dont look for it in the music industry, look for it somewhere else. Im just saying all i want is good, soulful music

[TheBokfresh]

@kevinhuddle This is the comment that should be getting that 29 thumbs up. I couldn't agree more.

[JessicaRocks3]

@kreeaytor Why does it matter who is hotter than who? That's not what bands are about. It's about the music.

[kreeaytor]

@JessicaRocks3 im not going to repeat my self. read back through the comments to figure it out.

[touretteEd2]

His voice is like a combination of Thom Yorke and Chris Cornell. Mmmmmm....

[Israel5234]

@touretteEd2 On the Letters From the Sky song, he sounds alot like Chris Martin from Coldplay

[AmiVicky]

Wow. With this and "Letters..." I'm officially hooked.

[hassanvielma]

these guys rock!!! theyre amazin i just saw them live in ontario ca!!!

[mattowings]

Lame. Kinda like a harder version of the Beatles, sans talent.

[finfanlinda]

very nice...very very nice!! I'm gonna share some of your stuff! Rock on!!

[yookoke112]

wow... i'd never expected to see this good band in this music society today.

[MrMankind0414]

@yookoke112 but im damn glad that they are! Amazing stuff!

[TheMisterawesome007]

@yookoke112 there r only small numbers of good bands that r in modern society  but they r there

[YourADrag]

@yookoke112 no the problem isnt that there isnt good bands anymore, its that there not getting sighed. i know plenty of bands thats are amazing but sadly wont mount to anything. its the industry thats screwed up not the music.

[coltron3030]

@yookoke112 I know right?

[faxpee]

This song sounds so insanely powerful LIVE! Steven's falsetto is crazy! Come out this MARCH and see them if you get a chance! Best Band of 2010!

[namirusso]

"Letters From The Sky" got me hooked on this band but the Video for "Soldier" is so intense - much like the song. Eye contact goes a long way I suppose or a gold Les Paul or a man in a uniform.

[faxpee]

I agree with all that (*wink*) : }

[lacrossegirl4]

i love them, they have a different sound. but its niice :)

[Lisee24]

I saw them live in Seattle and they were so good. I agree, the lead singer is way hot. The video is great and I hope they start gaining more recognition! I <3 these guys :)

[Hiperpiper456]

the singer is AWESOMe and HAWT

interesting song and style too

[hotttxDINOWAD]

not a bad band they have a different sound. i like it.

[naveregnide]

This is awesome. I saw this live in Philly. It was soooooo awesome

[Symphorockder124]

This song is really good

[0TzuiAssassian0]

Love this song :)

[KickFliproductions89]

Very good. make more songs but this was awesome
