Noah And The Whale - Second Lover

[AlynnaRose789]

<3

[007mushiemushroom]

'where ever you go, whatever you do, there's a man underground that will always love you' -

makes me smile every time

[Cbabbs1]

I need a new vagina, mine is all worn out

[rossradtke]

make it available on mobile... please.

[leahjlye]

Of course it's about meeting someone online - not knowing anything about them yet not being with them; going back to your 'normal' life when you're through talking to them, et cetera.

"And though I don't know your real name

Your real age, or your shoe size

I will leave this bedroom chair

And this keyboard behind

And I will love you in reality and dreams"

And the line is "an X is about the best that I can do" meaning he can't give her a real kiss. And unfortunately, it happens!!!

[lope1004]

my teacher showed me this song...

[SkyeBorne]

what genre would you call noah and the whale?

[xonar778]

@SkyeBorne Indie folk

[TheJelly1990]

emm to us this song sounds really sweet and it shows how much he loves the girl . but to the girl , this might sounds like a creepy stalker or psychopath song who's obsessed

[lonerandloserforlife]

@TheJelly1990 Haahahahah! I always think that!!

[TheJelly1990]

@lonerandloserforlife hah ! glad im not the one over thinking ;)

[itsbrittainbitch]

this song makes me cry. so beautiful

[RobHardyWasOnMIne]

definitely about an online relationship... like you guys say... its so sad... I'm i bet so many people have found them selves in this situation what with the amount of time we all spend talking on computers these days...

[killathrill1]

the story is about a man who is in love with a girl but it doesn't seem to be working but he still loves her and he fantacistes about them being in love but he finally realises that she is in love with someone else. he still loves her but cant bear living without her.

[GabrielaaSmiles]

this song is amazing! this is my first time listening to this song but it sure as eggs is eggs wont be the last >:)

[gingerrail15]

aw, this song is so touching. It makes me tear up.

[Kwoof101]

Melting in my bedroom chair, behind this keyboard..

[briecheese100]

like other people said, it's probably about being in love with a girl online, so i *think* the line about "an ex is about the best that I can do" is actually "an 'x' is about the best that i can do" because when you go xoxo the 'x's are kisses, and he can't put real kisses on her, yeah?

or am i over-thinking this?

[MyToni82]

@briecheese100 thats how i've always interpreted it myself, so that makes two people over-thinking it :-)

[tomnomtbs]

@briecheese100 I just automatically thought that, so I hope it's not wrong,

and it says 'I will leave this chair and this keyboard behind'

[Towwww1]

@briecheese100 that's a good view on it! i think he's talking from the perspective of the secret lover, the cheater. he says you'll go to your real lover who'll put real kisses on you. i think he means he feels like backup, like he's always gonna be her second choice *tear ):

[TheMonkeyyyxD]

@briecheese100

You're not reading into it too much; I thought that too {:

[worldofbubbles]

I LOVE THISS SONGNGNGNG <3

[shadowskout]

I finally found the perfect girl. This song is how I feel about her. I don't think we'll ever be together. But L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N., right? :)

[blonkyman]

@shadowskout you got heart

[blueberrymuffinxxxx]

amazingzing <--- with extra zing!

[chuppa229]

I was considering making a ukulele tutorial for this video but I don't know if people would want it as its quite old. Not trying to spam but if someone would like me to do it then message me and I will put it up for them :)

[shambonobo]

@chuppa229 i would love a tutorial, but i play guitar not ukulele :)

[chuppa229]

@shambonobo Yeah I am also a guitar player but as this is a uke song I only know how to play it on a uke. so sorry but I have no clue how to play it on guitar myself :)

[gloeckchen93]

I just heard this song for the first time and it almost made me cry... Funny how some songs just exactly say what you feel.

[NeopolitanDreams5494]

Beautiful music

[duckymc4]

"Oh well an X is about the best that I can do"..... :(

[girlspiderchic]

first time of hearing this ... and i love this band ....

[joesktrr]

......I just realized what this song is about....It's sad but freaking amazing!!!!

[bonvoyagecansu]

@joesktrr what is it about?just asking

[kotercheco]

@bonvoyagecansu a girl cheats on the guy and he kills himself.

[bonvoyagecansu]

@kotercheco oh thanks

[mackinleystoll]

@kotercheco I'm pretty sure it's about him meeting a girl over the internet and falling in love with her. Or I'm totally wrong haha

[quinlynnes]

this is legit the saddest song i have ever heard in my life. also the most beautiful.

[KeneticsMusic]

HAVE A LISTEN TO US, IF WE GET ENOUGH VIEWS WE WILL BE ON RADIO 1!!!

[Stonezyy]

N&TW <3

[Sophaayx]

just casually going through every noah and the whale vid and clickin like then add to favourites :)

[Stonezyy]

@Sophaayx lol same

[deadpeopleseer]

what the hell is this shit? Beiber is better than this garbage

[Sophaayx]

@deadpeopleseer stop trying to cause a reaction

[Orangetingting]

@deadpeopleseer you didn't even spell Bieber right. you'v obviously been watching too many of his videos. go watch something else.

[fizzypop277]

@Orangetingting

Hehehe.. I had a giggle at your comment. :) I agree with you!

[kattlu]

@deadpeopleseer Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful

[pretzelsreserected]

@deadpeopleseer

You obviously haven't heard good music. N&TW cannot be compared to Bieber simply because he's not music. Bieber is just trashy beats, a cute face, fixed singing, sings practically about girls(and in my opinion they aren't good songs), and so on.Where as N&TW is real music (real singing Not fixed), a whole entire band (Not just a singer, and random players), and their music has meaning.

-sorry to offend anyone who thinks otherwise (Just my opinion.)

[deadpeopleseer]

@pretzelsreserected shut the fuck up

[screamingsocks]

@deadpeopleseer just go. if you're going to put bad comments on good videos, just go away, because people with good taste don't give a shit what you think. (:

[deadpeopleseer]

@screamingsocks apparrantly you do give  a shit for commenting dumbass! BIEBER FEVER! <3<3<3<3<3<3!!!

[birdiaction]

emily and i are lost in translation

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[Flutterflut89]

Lovely song saying there's a man that will always love her wherever she is in the world. "I'll kiss my lips and i'll blow it to you" are really nice lyrics because although he can't kiss her in person, he can blow her kisses, Lovely song X

[thehaphler]

"And I will die and never ever hold your hand." That line made me make up my mind about finally going for the girl I like.

[YGFshark]

@thehaphler

good for you man! :D

[Leeko23Arsenal]

I don't know why, but while this is a very sad song it also feels a bit uplifting?

[rammunyte]

too monotonous song although I like words. : ) sorry. I like this band

[InvaderZimxD]

this song makes me sad.

[irisjean318444]

Absolutely adore Noah and the Whale!

[eatenedurpickle]

damn the internet. breakin' people's hearts an' all

[KobePatrol]

It's weird, this music is happy music for emo kids

[sillyearthling]

fantastic song

[RMCRonaldo9]

"It'll be the last thing that I ever do

And wherever you go and whatever you do

There's a man underground that will always love you"

It'll be the last thing he ever does...meaning he basically killed himself seeing as he says 'there's a man underground that will always love you.'

Love this song, reminds me of my current situation a bit.

[kellylizzz]

This is definitely about an internet relationship, definitely. 

[XXXsm3xiiiXXX]

My boyfriend sung this to me when we were first together. We've broken up now but I still listen to this song all the time :)

[LoLiVeRvOReVeR]

no matter how many times I've heard this song, I still feel like crying :(

[Bunckel]

the ending is my favorite !!

[cardigans98]

I think this song talks about internet relationship. I could be wrong.

[alliexxoo]

@cardigans98 well THATis just fucking OBVIOUS.

[cardigans98]

@alliexxoo I'm glad you can agree with me, Sorta.

[ThatweirdkidDom]

@cardigans98

i honestly never thought of that

i interpreted it as something entirely different and much less literal.

[eatenedurpickle]

@ThatweirdkidDom what'd u think? (like im not being rude, im honestly curious)

[ThatweirdkidDom]

@eatenedurpickle

i took it as he was in love with her, but she not with him

i thought the "but i don't know your real name, your real age, or your shoe size" was symbolism more or less that he didn't get the chance to be intimate with her

so he was finally giving up on pursuing her, but he'd always love her

if any of that makes sense :p

[eatenedurpickle]

@ThatweirdkidDom that actually makes a lot of sense, and if i never had a similar experince as the others took it about an internet relationship (im like "married" to a guy in india) i might have thought of that first. good thinkin'

[electricshock88]

this is beautiful. pure beauty.

[Rathallan]

Love this song ever since someone sent it to me, it is haunting and sticks in my head and heart. Have felt this way before.

My fav lines are "and it kills me to know that when we are through, you'll go to your real lover, who'll put real kisses on you."

[Rathallan]

Love this song ever since someone sent it to me, it is haunting and sticks in my head and heart. Have felt this way before.

[crazeechiq7]

I love the beginning!

[cupofteaandascone]

i'm crying, this is beautiful.

[caifuge]

Oh, and when will your hand find itself in mine?

[babytashaxxx]

To say I love this song is too much of an understatment so there are no words.... <3

[08Adele]

who were to two people how disliked this? hilter and Stalin?

[nzenger52]

this is so beautuiful..

[Laloetie]

and I love you in reality and dreams <3

[ceeheartsu]

I teared up.

Reiterating the lyrics will not do a justice to the amazingness of this song.

[SmileAtTheMoon]

"and i dont know your real name, your real age, or your shoe size"

thats so lovely!

you can pick out nearly any line from the song and it will be amazing

[MartinMK1980]

I've got a favourite new band

[monstereightme]

"I'll kiss my lips and I'll blow it to you, it'll be the last thing that I ever do. And wherever you go and whatever you do, there's a man underground who will always love you."

oh my gosh <3

amazing

[mrleefosho]

Love the bridge part!

[AliceInWonderland901]

i'm in love!!! thnx!!:D

[JEANxjustice]

love

[AngelofMusic2006]

This song is absolutely heartbreaking...how ironic for such an upbeat melody. This song does a wonderful job at summarizing the power behind Noah and the Whale's lyrics.

"I will die and never, ever hold your hand."

Oh, man.

[Dandaman1500]

@AngelofMusic2006 You are so right, this song is absolutely heartbreakinG!

[lottiluchen]

oh my god... it is so true

and i will love you in reality and dreams!

[loveyousomucho94]

story of my life, entered your life to be only a second lover then we both moved on and in a way im okay of letting you go..brillant song;D

[musbub]

"An ex is about the best that I can do"

Awh.

I love this song.

[juLoe33]

I just listened to that song and read some comments and suddenly I was like "Hey. this is so me" xDD kinda embarrasing but it's true..

[sadtrapofgravity]

heatbreak.

[0xpanda]

did you all know its about an internet relatonship?

you did?

damn... i thought i sounded smart :(

[Onropmusic]

@0xpanda Hahaha, yeah you sound smart for me. Otherwise you sound funny hehe. Nothing wrong with that, is it?

[CadaversAskew]

wow ur dumb...

[0xpanda]

@CadaversAskew Wow your a dick.

[PlethoraOfSpiffy]

Is there a song of their's that isn't amazing?

[catherine505yo]

this song is so sad. but I love it

[zikpan89]

this video just some pictures, its gest so boring i judge the video not worth wathcing. the only good parts the song

XD

[Olivia83093]

im sorry this isn't entertaining enough for you?

i love it. its simple

[zikpan89]

that was joke bassed off wait you wrought in description (i have realy dry humor)... but i do the love video/song and thxs for uploding it

[Olivia83093]

oh. haha. my apologies. i should have actually read the description

[bucdaniel]

i can listen to this song for hours and i did

[kati9876]

i love this song its so sad in both ways

[dinger2007]

fair point, personaly i would say that he himself was the second lover...but each to their own. great song :)

[dinger2007]

im not sure about the "man underground" being about a man being buried or the devil or anything like that, i would say it was more 'underground' as in the sense that hes 'undercover', that meaning of the word, in hiding type of thing?

[borntodieagain666]

It's just saying once he dies and gets buried. His heart will still ache for her. Saying he will still be in love with her.

[alliexxoo]

@dinger2007 I thought it was like he will die and always love her? Like the song says.......

[masterchief1103]

i love it

[plumbuutooon]

i love this song : )

[ClintonDG]

I love this songgg.

So much.

EThtejsrtjksyrwr4.

<3

[aggzicle]

this song used to make me cry all the time.

i love it so so much

[pedricko]

I myself find 'the man underground who will always love you' to be the devil. This song is about a guy being upset that his internet lover is simply playing him, and this has pleased the devil? I'm not a religious man, so I dont know if I'm 100% correct in the way these things work.

[aggzicle]

isn't 'the man underground' himself.

he said he'd kiss his lips and blow it, and it'd be the last thing he'd ever do. i'm guessing he killed himself, yeahh.

then when you die, you're buried underground.

[cashes67]

this is spot on

[OKAYilie]

aw i love noah and the whale

[solderedsanny]

it means that "when" he dies, he will still love her.....

[anyfingyoulike]

one of my favorite noah and the whale songs.

thanks for posting it =]

[anyfingyoulike]

thanks! i love this song and this band!

[McEsterPotter]

Thanks fior uploading it with the lyrics!! ^^

[ilovebrighteyesand]

this video is shit. its so boring.

[DerLudwigBauer]

my new favourite band -  thanks to my beloved sister isabelle xoxo

[beccaaa2k]

hes saying he will love him even when he is dead.

he is the man underground

[smilesallround0]

why wud you live underground?? ; )

[chelsinger]

Some people live underground.....Some people have basement apartments....like the girls that live under me. But I agree that that's not what the lyrics mean.

[ohlookitskirstie]

i am actually quite positive that it is symbolism, and that he does not live underground.

[smilesallround0]

i think that the man underground part means that he will kill himself, because he cant be with her.

[idioglossia89]

this is the saddest & sweetest song I've heard in  long time :(

x

[AngelicRuin]

This song is the best on the album IMO, though the whole album is a beautiful one... This song it's just beautiful though!

[uberlolrofl]

...I dont quite understand - is he gonna kill himself?

[alexadacool]

No, this song is about a girl that he fell in love with over the internet, and the girl loves him, as well as a man she knows in real life. The writer of this song is sad because he will never be able to be with her in real life.

[carpetkid]

I JUST realised that this is about falling in love over the internet. Took me a while.

[Zirlikus]

falling in lover over the internet? what do you mean?

[carpetkid]

Look up the lyrics. You'll get it.

[Zirlikus]

if you want to see it that way it's okay, but in my opinion you can also not see it in this scene...

[carpetkid]

And though I don't know your real name

Your real age, or your shoe size

I will leave this bedroom chair

And this keyboard behind

I just think that that is pretty clear it's referring to the internet.

Also,

You go to your real lover

Who'll put real kisses on you

Oh well, an x is about the best that I can do

And I will die and never ever hold your hand

[generationparkour]

oh wow.....thats quite sad actually :(

[needcoffee]

it's not about being in love with the internet. its about being in love with a person over the internet. I will leave this bedroom chair

And this keyboard behind

You go to your real lover

Who'll put real kisses on you

he only knows her over the internet and she has a real partner who can give her real kisses. it's pretty clear i think that it's about being inlove about someone over the internet. not the internet itself

[needcoffee]

oh shit, my bad, i thought u said that he fell inlove WITH the internet not OVER the internet. sorry xS

[KezBear93]

when will your hand find itself in mine...so beautiful. dont know why but this line struck a cord :)..i love noah and the whale

[sebbellobbal]

"Oh well, an ex is about the best that I can do" :)))

Oh well, x for my ex :D

Noah and the Whale makes me feel so excessive :)))

[eeyoresoph]

aww beautiful song! never heard this before!

probably one of there best, thanks for putting this vid n lyrics up!

x

[ladyBUGnotbird]

=') almost impossible not to love them :$

"whatever you go, whatever i do, there's a man underground that will always love you" =)

tum tum <3

[Mjukje]

"And I will love you in reality and dreams"

:$

yes they are amazing, i love them <3

[nicolasmeza]

[pureecstasy]
