The Streets -- The Edge of a Cliff

[carpanglerboycie]

The only 'pick me up' song that actually works.

[wolfos412]

These guys are the best.

[MrGrimmelhausen]

i can't even begin to explain how much i dislike this genre of music. yet when you come across a genius it transcends all of that egotistical nonsense.

[ProfitMuhammed]

mike skinners the only man you can love and not be called gay

[jordanfuckenrobson]

[111walking]

[BleachedFilm]

these are beautiful lyrics

[Killercam74]

Great tune



[parceel10]

@Killercam74 Great tune? Amazing tune!!

[androssduh]

Mike skinner is a fucking genius and deserves to be thought of as such.

[Macharion]

I come back and watch this whenever I'm feeling a little down. Love it.

[volcomskater12345]

really made me think about how great life is.

[ponder1972]

What is the book "Go Low" feartured @ 1:05 in the video?

[JustinAllenNelms]

This whole album rules my life.

[radevaljar]

This song saved my life... Thank you Mike....

Serbia loves you !! !! ! !

[tfuzfu]

@radevaljar aj spasiše ti život,al koji kurac pominješ srbiju,pa nismo BANGLADEŠ..izbriši komentar i nemoj da nas sramotiš..pozdrav..

[blackcountrysoul]

This a genius piece of song writing......and so profound.

[MrHinderance]

0:56 "For billions of years since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived. Every single person on your mum and dad's side successfully looked after and passed on to you life. What are the chances of that like?"

Well, according to Author Ali Binazir, the chances of that are 1 in 10 to the 2,685,000th power.

So basically, almost zero.

[dududugary]

@MrHinderance Yet here we are ! :)

[flowerthrowerful]

@MrHinderance ahh but if fate exists, then the chance is almost deffinate,,,,

[dryan211]

@flowerthrowerful if fate does exist then there would be no such thing as chance...

[skinVISIBLE]

@flowerthrowerful Exactly, that was the point in the song. The reason he didn't jump from the cliff, because maybe he was destined for something. What are the odds?

[TheCritters89]

fuckin' masterpiece!

[IITGzSniipezII]

Disappering wine @ 00:12 ?

[Jene7092]

I cannot stop listening to this song. It's so awesome!

[TheJamiebotterill]

all his music is so relevant to life, and this is why i love the streets!

[JIDAYAH1981]

Way too short but soo good!!

[Jene7092]

wow i feel so much better now. i was so low and this just gave me a new outlook on life.

[applepieindesky]

The colours of this film are awesomesauce, gotta say... Probably one of my favourite pieces Mike has done.

[IceAcidLizard]

nothing but love, the sound track of my life!!!

[stefw2007]

For billions of years since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors has survived

Every single person on your mum and dad's side

Successfully looked after and passed on to you life.

What are the chances of that, like?

Sounds stupid now but I never thought of it like this before

Made me feel much better :)

[eric81195]

A lot of pink in this music video...

[mhobot]

@eric81195

mikes fav. color is pink!

[eric81195]

A grim start leads to a very bright ending, and I can't stop listening.

[rockguru123]

Don't stop now Mike! Life without The Streets isn't worth living!

[mrtictac94]

"Our ancestors can be traced back to the beginning of time. Almost as long as it takes to get a studio together." The beginning of time was 3 minutes 4 seconds ago?

[seniannucci]

@mrtictac94 the joke is that any musician knows that setting up a studio takes as long as you inhabit that studio, which is usually a good part of your life. a lot of time. is the answer. not the length of the song.

[RakietOfFuel]

Świetna nutka : ) :-)(-: SMILE !

[dNy13371337]

helped me a lot ...

[bleko01]

mike skinner.. without a doubt 1 of london's finest geezers!!!

[jimmyshitbags]

@bleko01 he's from birmingham I think

[bleko01]

@jimmyshitbags true!! brummie born who  emmigrated to london!!

[TheWyspa1982]

jebac ciecia

[sh1tonwba]

[Fadzioo]

To jest na pewno piosenka z listy tych najważniejszych.

[20CJNL06]

For the few minutes of this video, I grew a beard, What are the chances of that, like?

[AUDIOWATCHER]

has anyone else noticed mike's beard grows throughout the clip???

[monedospen1]

it's just simple and awesome

[triggcon]

such a good song

[anjewi]

I think i've heard this song like 20-30 times today! its awesome! :D

[veganbombshell]

i like

[breakyournails]

Is his slowly growing a beard symbolic or just... general beard growing activity?

[JDoubIeU]

@breakyournails Beard shows age. With age comes wisdom perhaps. Which would kind of go with the wise, inspiring lyrics.

[MrCoonskin]

@breakyournails Its a visual to show how long they were there setting up studio.

[MegaSlowey]

For billions of year since the outset of time, Every single one of your ancestors survived, Every single person on your Mum and Dads side, Successfully looked after and passed on to you life, Now what are the chances if that like? ... Its gets to me once in a while

[jonesy66691]

6.94 billion people on the earth, the chances are quite high. AWESOME song nonetheless.

[bradbrook60]

@jonesy66691 yes but many more have died in the history of humanity before they had the chance to have and to parent a child

[styot]

@jonesy66691 Actually around the time we started to leave Africa before we spread over the world it's though we were struggling, our numbers where down to the thousands and we were close to going extinct. Fun fact of the day.

[givemethetruth1]

You are such a big inspiration Mike! As @impcirca1988 said, there's a lot of us on the edge of our own cliff. It's great with an artist like you who can put words on how I feel sometimes!

[Pand4Gaming]

Mike please make another album......never stop making music

[ShizFacedJesus]

So much love for Mike Skinner <3

[kitkatbabytitch]

mike skinner we salute you :)

[Tobiastherock]

Girlfriend cheated on me for a couple of months ago, and for a week ago she cheated on me again. My gift of self was broken, and i felt like a piece of shit. At the same time, i argued really hard with my father and i felt like a pest for the family and my friends, I had my deathletter written, and the rope in my hand, but then i found this song. Saved my life Mike, and now i life my life exactly like i want to. Enjoi life guys. Thanks.

[Torrentialrx]

[FissionNonStop]

I started listening to the streets 3 years ago when I was 17. I will listen to Mike until my ears stop working.

[TheBradb93]

[XIXColemanXIX]

Heard this song on my Streets radio station on Pandora, while working out....makes me inspired to try harder.

[BearBeatz1]

[daylyskater]

1:46 I had no idea there are such things as a rhyme dictionary :D

[ASNIIF]

[kyleycoyote1]

I LOVE this song. been listening to this guy for years. and this is just one of those songs that hits close to the heart

[grandma3000]

This is one of the greatest rap songs ever. It is as soul saving as a great U2 or Marley oldie. Who has not been on the edge of that cliff? It is songs like this this that stop me from jumping. God bless that old man. ALL YOU NEED IS A CHANGE OF LUCK.

[TheAwkwardtuurtle]

"for billions since the outset of time, every single one of your ancestors survived, every single person on your mum and dads side successfully looked after and passed onto you life, what are the chances of that like?" <3

[DeSadeM]

Damn, I really needed to hear this song today. Damn

[pieranka]

@ClompsyKid I hope everything is still OK, I wish you only good inspirations

[Madcope2k9]

Mike skinner and Jamie T should be the new nick clegg and david cameron. nuff said.

[callumsufc97]

i like the bit when he sits down

[callumsufc97]

is it just me or is this guy amazing ?

[gabs1429]

<3 

[PsychoNorth]

makes the hairs on my neck and arms stand right up

[mrtictac94]

@PsychoNorth Know the feeling :/

[joeyman24239]

34 people jumped before hearing this song.

[bfitzgerald92]

This always makes my day.

Between the overall sound and the message, it all comes together nicely enough to help me get over whatever has me down.

[fukyous]

I like how he talks instead of singing.

[flowerdiary]

absolutely brilliant! In love with this music!

Poetic, honest, insightful, fun.. genius! :)

[IFknHateUTube]

lol british

[Aaron97oD]

Does any one know what song theese lyrics are from . 'If u dont know were your going. any road will take you there'

[TheSkiBlog]

@Aaron97oD The Way of the Dodo.

[ashimoke]

@Aaron97oD The Way of The Dodo

[Aaron97oD]

@ashimoke no thats something different. but thnxs anyway

[FakePlasticShrimp]

the difference between him and you, is that mike skinner puts these thoughts and ideas in an understandable and thus, a way YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU DIDN'T REALIZE BEFORE, and he makes that more clear. He is a poet, anybody who denies that is just blind to true poetry.

[ConnorWoodman]

amazing



[BigEyedPea]

If the world ends and I can only defend the catalog of 10 artist (i.e Book of Eli) Mike Skinner is in. Our Great Great Great Great grandchildren need to have access to our best musical artists of our era. Incredible.

[mcspolif]

mike looking fat

[PockeyFox]

I love this song so much.

[hypolittleskittle07]

I'm a screamo fan mostly, but The Streets are the exception, Mike's music speaks to me in a big way. Peace out.

[1altman1]

cant belive it took me 20 views before i realised the wine went back into the bottle :)

[knoxiuz]

my ex used to lend me that music guide book ...

[stefano118118]

only just realised his beard growing, ha

[stefano118118]

[Jordatopia]

[Iwan2007]

Definietly Britains Got Talent ;)

[GISMCONFUSE]

I didn't know the English Steve-O rapped

[thelastsaviour]

@billylovesbutts94 Go fuck yourself.

[ch8kra]

I'm losing my girlfriend right now. This song is great, thanks Skinner! That gives me new strength to get through this situation.

[Amnesia543]

Its nice to listen to him , hes just a regular guy..

[MrBlindollie]

My father just passed away. I listen to The Streets to find the strength to carry on. Thanks you much for your amazing music, Mike. Peace

[jacobm6907]

@MrBlindollie my farther passed away to and it helps me too total respect.

[Manahyde]

first time in years a song made me think about life

favourite song on the album

[totallyairplanecrazy]

it still stuns me every time i hear it :)

[Tobiastherock]

I will tattoo this.

So whenever my life is shit, i can look in the mirror and think about the sentence.

[daviddebonomalta]

Have his teeth always been like that?

[lerandalove]

@daviddebonomalta Seriously? THAT'S what you took from this song/video? fucking idiot

[onegirlshuakai]

This song really saved me from misery tonight.

[0herzinfucked0]

so lovely it stunned me.

[Eliz279009]

This is always a nice epiphany to have on a shitty day.

[TheDarkPotatoe]

This is the best song I ever heard.

[MrBlond3]

@TheDarkPotatoe zef side Streets

[vittumatti]

For billions of years since the outset of time

Every single one of your ancestors has survived

Every single person on your mum and dad's side

Successfully looked after and passed on to you life.

What are the chances of that, like?

It comes to me once in a while

And everywhere I tell folk it gets the best smile.

[13baisi]

hip hop bob dylan

[welcometosnellcast]

0:55 - 1:05 never been so skinner as this

[welcometosnellcast]

Honestly, this song just restored alot of my faith in life.

[OffaRunco]

Yes yes yes mike skinner. God like.

[impcirca1988]

Mike, there's a lot of us on the edge of our own cliffs listening to this.

Thanks.

[Pori9392]

@impcirca1988 respect to that comment.

[maxta1bot]

Great tune.

[samnightingale1]

Everyone should here this song atleast once in their lifetime, puts everything into perspective.

[aprilianath]

can it get any better this is genuine music

[hatmos91]

this song saved my life

[Menz123451]

I honestly adore Skinners lyrical abilities. Amazing for a white guy in this day and age after the Bob Dylans, Crass, Clash, Stone Roses.

[DJLastShade]

i got a album of "The streets " when i was younger and i did not like it cuz the only song on it i had heard was "everything is borrowed" and si havent heard the album until this year and it was so great that it stunt me and this song right here was so amazing i just made my own movie in my head xD this is just AWSOME!!!!!

[xxaliumzxx]

Why is he not word wide recognized, I know his shit is different than everything out there and his messages are life changing. That's the real fucking allure of hip-hop, depth, difference, and a message.

[newagepun]

@xxaliumzxx because some dumb arses around the world think hip hop is still all about big screens, bitches, blunts and 40's. They still think it has to be gang related when in fact, Hip Hop is only limited by how damn talented and creative you are at it.

[FissionNonStop]

If I meet Mike Skinner one day I will shake his hand and say thank you for making this music here. This man here, Mike Skinner, is the reason my best friend is alive today.

[kronenbourg16641664]

So much respect for this man.

He puts so much effort into his music and his videos.

Nothing more could he do for the music industry.

This just shows how little recognition real artists get from the UK.

Hope you have a good life mate, and ill try to follow in your steps

[TheBored102]

genuinely cant comprehend how mike skinner does it but its a rare occasion when one of his songs doesent send shivers up my spine and leave me feeling better about the place im in. every line rings with truth too much respect for this bloke

[MouldyCheesePie]

i bought my mam that mug at 2:56 for mothers day!!

[AUDIOWATCHER]

Has anyone noticed the their facial hair grows throughout the video???

[Gr1meUk]

this is one of the first tracks ive ever listened to that ive repeated constantly, havent heard lyrical genius like this in years....fair play

Skinner is a Lyrical Genius....... He has an awesome way of making sense from the most common one line statements of our day! Thank you from you fans across the POND!!!!!!
