[nicholas2122]

ART

[sacredstauffenbergg]

Adam White Ballerina remix this ?

[ExcessiveHorse]

Dm, Gm, Gdiminished, A...all the way through, i would say its in D harmonic minor...for anyone interested who wants to play it!

[thecrossfirecasualty]

@ExcessiveHorse OMG Thanks!

[hksbloa93]

yo does any of u know any other similar artists? Apart from Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley.

[baldylocks2009]

And to think he was only 15 when he wrote this, genius.

[JeffBuckleyz]

Amazing

[PaulRichard2]

Superb song, very haunting.

[falcao1982]

Just an extraordinary piece of work. Astonishing. I remember Mark & Lard playing this & getting so much shit off the Radio 1 dance music fans. Happy days...

[r6simonelf]

@falcao1982

Ha! I heard this thanks to Mark and Lard as well. How is this guy not recognised as some kind of bloody genius? - Have you heard anything quite like this anywhere else? Thanks a frigging bunch, X-Factor and all the other clone factories.

[sassarella718]

Alexander McQueen brought me here ♥

[varrick1226]

Great voice.

[AvaAdaptor]

Just awsome...

[lynndavy1965]

Sorry nothing like Ali Murray! this guy's out there on his own, i believe anyway...........superb x

[lynndavy1965]

leaves me less alone

[elizebethjames]

it leaves me devastated

[WhisperChastity]

@elizebethjames indeed

[WhisperChastity]

@elizebethjames indeed

[J888JEN]

the beginning of this song REALLY reminds me of another song... it starts with a slow piano tune then a high pitched voice comes in... anyone any ideas what song i could be thinking of?

[Alexos87]

@J888JEN

Over My Shoulder by Mika?

[J888JEN]

@Alexos87 YES! I remembered not long after I posted the question but I am very impressed you knew what song I was thinking of! Thank you!

[samoanspeedo]

6 ppl are in a zoo

[jenniferjjjx]

Beautiful atmospheric song. I love Grech. If you like this, you should check out ''Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home)'' by Ali Murray. Or anything by Ali Murray for that matter...

[J0NNO]

absolutely beautiful, an amazing piece of work.

[DEADCATBOUNCER1]

what an incredible sound,very Tom Yorke, very brilliant!

[PickyMix]

im a song writer and he was/is my biggest influence

[LucyBlackHeart]

This guy is massively underrated. :( Love you Martin!!! <3

[swatts06]

so it began  genius !! love everything he has done, the journey continues ...........

[akariasking]

My heart beats faster whenever I hear this song. It's so hauntingly beautiful.

[Lyamurrrka]

....взорвана....

[djfarrell]

Tortured and tormented brilliance. Powerfully artful. An original piece of masterfully crafted emotion.

[achucho]

Beautiful. Kè hermosa canciòn, regards from Mèxico City

[MsDramagirl1]

Martins songs make me cry :'( he's my cousin and i hvnt seen him for at least 5 years

[nat00ben06]

Another disaffected singer, sounds to me. I'm not sure if I like it or not, he reminds me a little of Waters at times on the Wall album. Jeff Buckley connection no one has that. What he's doing I can kinda relate to though. It to me is like being in a theatre and then walking out to the real world he can pull you in.

[wendydimmick]

Loved this for years - amazing that he was only 19 years old when he made this

[KiLLWiT]

@wendydimmick

He was only 15 when he wrote this :)

[wendydimmick]

@KiLLWiT Wow - even amazinger...

[AttackShipOnFire]

@KiLLWiT Teenage angst!

[TheAcousticstaircase]

this is CREEP-AY yet amazing

[TheSymmachus]

This is a worthy song. It's very beautiful sounding and has a pretty good instrument assembly.

[DemodulatorSieben]

Genius ! amazing

[sapodotroposo]

you still haunt me

i can feel your abscence move through the outskirts of my numbed bliss

caressing and keeping scars open at the same time

a dancing demon of lust unfullfilled

forever keeping distances that are more precious to me

than your presence would ever be

[Fakejewell]

Just breathtaking!

[davyjones2484]

The video is disturbingly beautiful. Paired with his voice, it's breathtaking.

[flashgunfilms]

Awesome music - so talented. The video reflects none of this zzzz

[infinateregress]

@flashgunfilms The expression ! Just look at it! It's beautiful!

[staticdreams]

NEW ALBUM! Search youtube for "Martin Grech - The Watcher" for trailers. :D

[StrangeFatalMyth]

It's insane how talented and amazing he is.  It's just INSANE.

[mrshef666]

ive been a fan of this track since forever...i dont think ive EVER heard such a piece of music more demanding a serious connection or such an emotionial reaction i get when i hear this...it just simply blows me away...outstanding...im just...wow!

[sierradelta07]

Such a great song. Nothing else to say.

[juleshunter]

please take me seriously!

[TheCorporationSuite]

@juleshunter OK!!

[LadyCreatividad]

can someone send me this song??pls :)

[alabiebilhamiema]

GENIUS! no other word

[swatts06]

i agree this man is a genius

his new triple album will be out in the near future, his albums are unbelievable as his the other things he has done, meatsuit etc

live i have never seen his like b4 acoustically or electric ,

have had the pleasure of seeing him 16 times he is a lovely person

[andrewnottmuk]

Track was featured in the Lexus SC430 TV Advert (man drives into an empty square in Rome, opens the door of the Lexus and BAM the square is packed full of people... Took me ages to find the music for the advert ;-)))) happy now

[stuartm990]

@andrewnottmuk

I was suprised the advert had not been uploaded by someone on Youtube. I remember the advert being on quite frequent at the time. With Mark and Lard playing it on Radio 1 too.

[dolunaydainsanolan]

a new jeff buckley? (it is impossible though...)

[EnterDjHada]

Excelente tema!!!!

Es cierto hay mucho talento que no es reconocido como deberia...

[0secretusername0]

Please can soome one send me the sheet music or chords???? PLEASE

[olpado2]

my surname is grech :)

[moomanda]

This song is so beautiful, really moves me :)

[NoDebut]

I saw him perform this very song at a local venue in Dublin. It was jaw dropping.

[lolixoOo]

Im doing my drama course work to this, It is so good.

[piedpiperpianos]

Spectacular - nothing like it

[thedarling1512]

i've never seen such a song one before..

all my respect!!it touches my heart in a very special way.

[headlesskiller]

so much talent, i really respect this guy, his music is phenomenal.

[damobrfc1875]

Aint heard this for ages! Got the album at home somewhere. Went to see him live in manchester when it first came out. Still blown away by how good it is!

[KoiChannel]

Debut album by Koi coming soon, two tracks available at the KoiChannel. Search for "Koi-Terminal Souls" or "Koi-The Rabbit". For fans of Martin Grech. Hope you don't mind me informing you. Cheers! //Patrik

[mrshef666]

just blows my fucking mind how awesome this guy is \m/ he should be a fucking HUGE superstar this dude has serious talent :) x

[vashdegun]

I know! Im so mad at myself for not knowing this song existed :(

[lauralestat]

This song reminds me of 19th century Victorians--dark alleys, Absinthe, and Jack the Ripper (lol as I generalize). The ending is epic! What a great song and most importantly, great artist!

[danyjr]

where can I download this album for free?

[TWEAKER01]

For crying out loud.. what's with all this "I want it but I'm not prepared to pay for it" attitude these days? Would you steal a painting from a gallery?

Support musicians and those who help enable their vision to exist. BUY the music you love.

[memo450]

just so you know, if someone is not prepared to pay for an album they will never buy it. It's better to download it in that case, because if you don't you will never hear it.

but then again, buying music >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> downloading it.

[xshotgunweddingpatdx]

well said!

[hitchcockm00]

danyjr, do you want Martin to keep making music? If you do then buy the damn album. It's worth it and he probably needs the money!

I'm not anti-downloading by the way, just anti-downloading from artists who are clearly not selling millions of albums and need the money to continue making music.

[hitchcockm00]

Turns out it might have been deleted so you'd have to get it second hand haha...but still, automatically thinking "Gotta get this for free" when you hear something you like isn't the best mindset to have.

[Snowenjoi]

I agree, it's really good, but also kinda creepy :P

[CassiVampyre]

its a good song, but am i the only one who thinks its creepy?

[whitelight29]

Stunning

[GayGeisha]

How can you begin to try and say how beautiful this is? Completely divine.

[chubkuriboh]

grech is the god of music

pure and simple

ths song and all of the other songs he's done is tesiment to that

was that over the top lol

love grech and the song

peace out

chubkuriboh:-)

[Nacnueed]

Took me a lo0oong time to find this awesome song through the lexus ad. And the "classic ads" cd it was on the year after.... good upload

[Luxfare666]

Got the classic ads album the week it came out as it had song from lexus ad on front cover so I then bought his album.....very very talented guy....but he'll never make it in a world that puts steps and Mr Blobby as number ones

[flashgunfilms]

Amazing song - but it deserves a much better video. sorry - just being honest.

[xmspurrkinsx]

sublime.

[SuicidalElmo]

one of my all time favourite songs ever..of all time.... lol xx

[TaylorKingMusic]

Wow! Beautiful, like a mixture between Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley.

[Duck1eRhys]

@TaylorKingMusic you hit the nail on the head there mate! He definitely has a Jeff Buckley feel to him!

[caspapin]

@TaylorKingMusic exactly

[DangerYourselfCopies]

Reminds me of Dear Stop by Goldfrapp

[46Livvy46]

Using this in the dance show i'm in the song and dance together are amzing!!

I really like this song its so powerful. :)

[ravenpolgara]

Awesome! Awesome! Amazing artist! he and laurie andersen should team up for a show...would be epic

[SaulSebags]

Andy Ross is my uncle!

[illuminati576]

he sounds like a cross between jeff buckley and vitas, not sure if i like him any yet though

[mrshef666]

damn! this song gives me fucking serious chills... i fucking love this guy...Adam Lambert aint got shit on this guy dont even fucking put his name in the same conversation...Martin is pure art and emotion that Adam guy sold his soul for chart popularity...Adam is all photoshop smoke and mirrors Martin is the real deal mwah!xxx

[catseye6000]

Noooooo I paused the video and went to play it again and i accidently gave the video a 2/5 rating. :'(

[sophmaloaf]

(p.s he looks better with his big afro hair)

[DeeJayBounce]

Like that white fella. Let me think.. Michael Jackson. Right?

[sophmaloaf]

I used to know him! Lived just down my road! Such a nice guy. We used to go to karaoke and he'd always crack out Radiohead 'creep'.

[djcurien]

great song

[PaulRichard2]

Funny, i thought the video included a gothic theme park!?

[0secretusername0]

this is one of those songs where you think to yourself 'i wish i never saw the video! My mental image was way better and no matter how much i try... it kinda ruins the song for me'

[KuruContinuum]

Martin Grech wrote this song and no one else can sing it... it's his

[missbunny998]

Adam Lambert can.

[MoofyTheMOOcow]

Oh my god. YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS! I fucking LOVE him. He's phenomenal. =D

[DazedSheep]

So beautifully strange. I'm sure I heard this years ago on an advert! Been trying to find it for years

[culokristof]

It was indeed used on an advert, for Lexus cars.

[stumpydino]

i saw martin in 05, best gig ever

anyone else remember this song being on a lexus advert?

[markoVTX]

Excellent riposte lol!

[marcopet86]

Wonderful

[mulrine83]

The greatest song Thom Yorke never wrote - he must be gutted!

[DaRashka]

where have you read that Yorke wrote it?

[mulrine83]

the fact that I said Yorke never wrote...implies that Thom Yorke did not write it. Lord have mercy

[jmatthewb]

I'd love to hear Radiohead do this song

[nimpo46]

Thom Yorke wrote this when he was with Radiohead now he trudges along with Queens of the Gerrard.

[SoulfulSausages]

lol!!

[alexbericheath]

I agree haha, the bridge is so Radiohead!

[adiohead]

grech is a legend!

[KylieRKitten]

I love this song, it's really powerful! :)

Kitten

xxx

[mojoPiin]

genial, abslutamente indescritivel!

casa cmg <3

grande senhor!!!

[loveUedel]

Porque haveria ele de se casar ctg?!!! Quando tem alguém cujo extâse em ouvi-lo é divinal? Porque quereria ele casar quando já estamos presas à sua voz sem o conhecer? Sem dúvida soberbo...

[malakian57]

ermmmm woteva dickhead said this emo pmsl at them.... surrealist music / experimental dicks

[malakian57]

its so hypnotic i cant stop listening to it!!! listened to it in college and i was mezmerised by it i love it!

[Horashima]

Great song.

Im a big fan.

Of his supernatural spirit.

[thehorizon]

Reminds me of "How Is Your Life Today?"

[ThePoisonDoor]

God... so touching and soothing

I still love Grech, even up to his most recent folk ventures

[diemuvafucka]

we used this song in a drama piece at school about dreams, nightmares and surrealism, it was amazing ! great song, kinda creepy and haunting !

[SickRhythm]

Hah, weirdly we did this too today at school.

Ours was about the death penalty though, creepily works alongside the song.

[Petey1308]

Yep, I was in SickRhythms class :> It was quality, and went damn well.

[nobrakesytfc]

I love this song, but I think if I listened to iot twice in a row, I'd want to slit my wrists lol :-) Great tune though

[barcydonia1]

stupid!

[smulldoon]

cool tune but a bit weard

[monsieurblast]

Thanks for the info. I've not heard of Andy Ross before - is a lot of his production sample-based?

[deadmanshoe]

I don't think you should get too hung up on the "production" side, like RnB "producers". The song was written by Martin Grech, the whole album was finished and his work in whole, Andy Ross (according to MG) covered it in polish, he didn't really add to it. I think Andy used to be in an 80's pop band, try googling him.

[AustgermienTrash]

that guys voice is gay!! just a joke.. awesome song

[SANTARII]

@AugustgermienTrash

I didnt know voices could have sexual preferences 0_o

If by "gay" you mean camp, then still no.

[monsieurblast]

Who produced this? It's absolutely outstanding.

[fericire7]

interesting

[hankharp]

First heard this track on the Mark & Lard show some while back as it was their record of the week and simply loved it! At first I also thought that it could be the new Radiohead single a band who I just love to death! To the children who had doubts about it and made their comments earlier, don't worry Playschool will be on the box soon.

[theman362]

furthermore, this song is incredible :)

[domysadiva]

i love the music!!

i love him and am soooo proud to be his cousin!!!

[poys1]

Great piece of music.

[shoebomber3]

i read before that the genre it falls into was called gargantuan symphonies.i really dont know how right that is.just throwing it out there.but you are right,there is nothing like this guy.very dark.looovely!!

[mancinatanc]

if u ask me i dont think it has a genre you have to look at it as its own genre :)

[Dannii2oo7]

i love this song but what genre does it fit into ?:D

i don't know why im asking im just interested

[SANTARII]

@Dannii2oo7

I dont think there is a genre yet...

"Alternative" always works.

[mancinatanc]

Tim burton can't get this dark haha

[mancinatanc]

What a tune , is it me or does this remind anybody of radiohead but slightly darker an gloomy (Not a bad thing)

[eurphoricxtacy]

kids and your your lables...

[eurphoricxtacy]

-_- you proved you own point, asshole. Why are you still here?

[eurphoricxtacy]

I feel sorry for you all then, just a bunch of kids with no taste. If you dont like this then go the fuck somewhere else. Its all about the notes he hits and the way it flows, all you idiots are worried about is labels, calling it "emo" of what the fuck ever. Grow up and open your ears, cause you mind obviously isnt.

[lordrunsie]

LMFAO this guy just prooved my point.....

[lordrunsie]

lol this is crap... gampo your right, this is just some emo retard attempting to sing

if you like this song then your an emo..

[Parablevisions]

um, since when has Martin Grech been emo? You've obviously never heard or seen any of his work so don't bother commenting.

[theman362]

crap, accidentally marked your comment as spam while trying to reply. d'oh.

martin is one of the best artists around now, his music is full of soul, and his vocal melodies are so haunting, especially with this song.

andy ross did a VERY good job to work with martin, and its a shame there is not more to hear. i absolutely love the ohz album. its full of soul.

about the emo thing:no way, you ever hear a song by an emo band that sounded like this? thought not. this has feeling, emo is for fun :(

[gampo2]

this song sounds SHIT, maybe when he goes to a pshyco path and sorts out his little apithony of his mind and hands (he is a spacker)he cannot sing, this song gargles relentless balls.. oh hay mabye when his balls drop it might sound a bit better.

[eurphoricxtacy]

Wow gampo2, your a fucking idiot with no taste in music.

[barcydonia1]

+ 3284573454

[glennpaulpace]

your so fuckin amazing man your one of my heroes in the music industry keep composing music so i can enjoy it tnx man

[Stannleigh]

i LOVE this video.

[blushines]

thanks for loaded the video, I like so much, Martin Grech!

[BlackestOpal]

Thanks for uploading! I forgot to bring the CD with me when I emigrated!

[symmetrymakesentropy]

yes
