  • 240p we meet again.

    But I love this video, regardless of the resolution. Take that YouTube! Sarah <3

  • So the message in this video is that you'd think that evolution would have made us smarter over the centuries, but it hasn't, and we're still insane masochists?

  • timeless...

  • thank you sarah i am always playing this silly game with the same end result your music is a great source of strength.

  • BEST Sarah Video hands down! Great concept, acting and directing.

  • i never thought i would think of this video this way......but damn its hottttt

  • Sarah looks absolutely stunning in period costume!

  • For all of you my love I miss you my family it is so lonely here by myself Dolena D, Darrell D, Bill D, Doreen D, Eleanor D, Stella D, Robert S, and all my friends Georgina Faith, Glenda Brown and Elaine Pinky gone tragically and early. This song is my feelings for them. But I listen to I believe after and I know they aren't gone!

  • I effing love this video!

  • oh my,,,,,,,wow,,,,,,can happen so easily,,,,,

  • I mean this sincerely when I think of the girls that have controlled me....How stupid could I be?

  • zzzzz

  • This is one of my favorite music videos of all time...

  • When I'm getting married I would for her to perform at my wedding, if Elton John isn't available, because I believe she has a beautiful voice, very beautiful.

  • I heard this song on tv yesterday, but that one had more beatings... Could someone help me finding that version?

    Thanks =D

  • The great thing about his song is that is not from her perspective, but from the she is cheating on

  • so what are you saying, Ms Mclachlan is an honest cheater. FIne let's FORGIVE the honest cheaters of ALL times because it was written in a book or because people want to get married anyway... Complicated thinking

  • i love this song. fabulous. i can relate. not to that extent but i can

  • I think most people could relate to this whether they acted on their feelings or not.

  • Pure lust in the  younger man's eye- he doesn't love her at all. Great depiction of a toxic relationship.

  • Hard to listen to this song. I fell into the same trap, still there, cant get out, cant let go.  I will never be happy again.

  • Welcome to life afterwards.. you'll find it becomes bearable after a while, once you've been forced take a long hard look at reality and figure yourself out.

  • Yes you will...you just dont know it.

  • i dedicate this song to the beautiful angel that has crushed the very meaning of love. may u find ur happiness thru my pain

  • then you should not be listening to a song which sympathizes with the other side.

  • This video is exquisite. Makes me want to read a bodice ripper. lol

    Also, it explains that despite the change in eras, those passionate feelings are still alive and well today.

    Lovely.

  • I Love this long :P

  • is it bout like shes married n loves her husband a bit but is in love 4 another guy but realizes tht he was jus a user is tht the story coz i get it but i dnt xD

  • I love the video and the song. It is truly a difficult situation to be in if you are cheating on your spouse and have fallen in love with them at the same time.

  • what movie is this

  • This isn't a movie, that's how the video is.

  • Such a cool video, and I think the song is true for many people

  • i personally don't really like this song as much as some her other ones, but the video is really good

    this sound quality's a bit tinny, but is that just the vid?

  • i LOVE this song

  • Awesome!

  • Wow...I held my breath throughout that whole video. Very powerful.

  • It sure is. Echo's real life sometimes.

  • I don't know who she is and i have never seen her videos befor but she is pretty and she sings really good.

  • Bread eaten in secret IS sweet: but afterwards your mouth will be filled with gravel. Our lives are like phantoms: shadows that flit about & then disappear. To be loved in truth for a lifetime is a great treasure. The broken can be redeamed with a changed heart. The Past can be past at last. History, a Mystery and the Present.

  • I swear this song was written for those of us who end up in toxic relationship after toxic relationship with no clue as to how to actually try something healthy. It should be required listening :D

  • well said.

  • Who is the man in the video ? Wow

    Nice song ! Ilove it too much !!

  • WHat a powerful video...

  • I found myself in this exact situation. I ended up confessing everything to my husband, we got counseling and he forgave me. We are doing better than ever. That was over 7 yrs ago and sentiment still rings true "how stupid could I be",

  • Jelmo67 I have been there too... and what it did was open both of our eyes to what we were lacking.... and as weird as it sounds, it was one of the best things that we have been through.... we have never been closer than we are now. NOT that I recommend it to anyone!!!! And yes, the sentiment rings true to me as well. Glad you and the hubby made it and are doing great :)

  • You have a very understanding husband.

  • Even though you might have committed dishonest acts, it was very strong of you to have told your husband the truth.

  • The only good thing lusting after someone else "outside" of your relationship can do is bring light to what is missing in the relationship you're in. In her example she's in a long term relationship, and seems bored and trapped. Their relationship needs to have some adventurous lust reintroduced into it. Not some boy toy (if it were real life).

    Best to heal the relationship you're in than make a stupid mistake.

  • Is it weird that this video used to turn me on? Someone called the production value "cheesy" a while back, and I don't think I've blushed more in my life. Maybe it just means I'm just lusting after Sarah in period costume.

  • I do not think it is weird. I think Sarah looks very hot in this video.

  • Comment removed

  • she is mad hot in this video ur not crazy at all

  • Haha no its not weird. I think this song and video reminds us of the strong desire we all feel... not to mention sarah looks very sexy in this vid :P

  • 1:54-1:56 lmao

  • What a terrifing thought!! That we play out the same mistakes every incarnation throughout time. If it is true I had better get my @#$% act together!!

  • I think it's worse. I think purgatory is doing your current incarnation over and over again untill you get it right.

  • wath's the meaning of "familiar shoes" in spanish?

  • The words are different but the meaning is the same, dont you think?

  • yes..but i didn't found an "expression" similar in spanish :S

  • I love her videos!! They 're so different xDD Great song!

  • One of her best!

  • i really love this song!:)

  • What a beautiful voice and face...... I HEART my Canuck!!!!!

  • I just love this video and her song. This song has got to be the best after 'fallen'

  • no entiendo na...

  • me encanta esta cancion (:

  • such a beautiful song!

    I Love it!

  • anyone know where I can download an instrumental version of this song (for free..)?

  • wow amazing video

  • Not only are her songs beautiful, but her videos are always amazing.

  • the same song could be for the woman and for the man, he could feel the same way

  • 1770... 1870... 1970... always the same problems, we're still the same human beings, the same womans... how stupid we were

  • womans? really? wow...

  • I love the song... but, i'm crazy about the video! it rocks!

  • eventualy you can only take so much punishment no matter huch much you like somebody....been there....then eventualy you learn....after a few hard knocks...wouldent go there again though

  • beautiful!

  • I love this song.

    Its so great, i have to say its one of the best from Sarah. :D

  • such a beautiful song!

    I Love it!

  • I'm not really sure how to express how much I adore this song. It tells it exactly like it is. I think we all have someone we would love to dedicate this to. "How stupid could I be? A simpleton could see that you're no good for me. ...But you're the only one I see." It shows the frustration of going in circles with someone who time and again doesn't treat you right, but who, for reasons you don't know, you continue to stick with. Sarah is my inspiration both in my singing and in my life.

  • I think you said it perfectly. We all have that one person who we know will break our hearts, and know it cannot be good, but the desire and temptation are too great to deny. ~sighs~

  • Yeah I know what you mean I was seeing this one guy who I had known for a couple of years and I couldn't help like the two of us were going in circles always ending back at the same place and the sad part about it is that it took me this long to see his true colours. But whatever in the end I realized that he was never going to change and I finally allowed myself to just let it go and leave him alone.

  • has she ever starred in some movies?

    cuz id defenitely watch them...

  • I love this song, It is simply amazing.

  • love this song!

  • This video is so beautiful and sensual. Love it.

  • beautiful song...been there and done it...as we all have.....

  • love most of her songs there so good!

  • Lovely song!

  • funny videos but yeah sarah mclachlan is the genius

  • Beautiful video but yeah, Sarah Mclauchlan IS a genius.

  • I really feel bad for her man in this one. She is infatuated with someone else and he is clueless. Poor guy. Great song.

  • Hmmm...I don't preceive that he is clueless, and perhaps there is a story to why she is unhappy with him. I loved how she played a sort of "Madame Bovary" very dramatically and then a a modern day wife in a very realistic context at the end. The crescendos of the lyrics fit the emotional frustration of the song so well.

  • God this song is so amazing...i relate to it so well cuz it is how i have felt for the past 5 years now......things r gonna change real soon though :)

  • good for you time to get busy living or get busy dieing!

  • She's the spitting image of my wife. Yes, I'm blessed. ;)

  • Love this song, an old beau's ringtone! lol

  • Świetny song;)

    B.ładny w sam raz na smutne dni ;(

  • luv this song the young guy is hot...

  • Awesomely truthful song. I fell in love with it from the first time I heard & saw the music video. Sincerely  Joshua

  • One of my most fav Videos from Sarah. You Rock Sarah!

  • haven't heard this song in years...

    one of my favorite videos.

  • Whoa.

  • the young dude kinda looks like IL governor Rod Blagojevich.

  • ex-govenor now. lol

  • Lots of scandelous stuff going on in this video. Sarah, your such bad girl!

  • wow, this song is great. she's got an amazing voice.

  • great song one of my favs from sarah mclachlan.

  • Thus was my favorite song for a while. And I love this video.

  • ar 2:16 is she looking out a window or is that a confessional?

  • i think the song's about the idea that their love is never meant to work out, no matter when, how or where it happens... because infidelity is infidelity.

  • intersting theory, i admit, but where is your evidence?...wouldn't you say that occam's razor suggests the video is in fact about time travel since we see what appears the same set of people living in different time periods? of course, this along with the popular opinion among phycisists that time travel is indeed possible...

  • yes, but perhaps the creator of the video uses the time travel as a metaphor for the idea that their love would never work. because if you really listen to the lyrics they suggest more dylan's theroy.

  • um thats kinda.... well actually completely wrong.

    im a 15 year old boy and even im not horny enough to violate someone like that

  • HAHA XD

    Well that's a good thing :P

  • I LOVE THISSS SONG<333 :)

  • She's amazing.

  • omg i love this video... never seen it before.. the young uy looks so f****** good an sarah so damn pretty... couldnt live without her music...

  • Does anyone know the actor in this music video?

  • please don't dare to listen to sarah mclachlan ever again if you are going to degrade such talented person and go listen to your celine dion

    ok

    if you dare to listen to sarah ever again and i know about it I will slap you!!!

  • such as life...may I suggest turning to drink and poetry when enduring such a situation LOL...

  • So much emotion, lovely

  • This video gives me chills. Hardcore.

  • Along with many other songwriters of celtic origins (for example, Don McLean), Sarah McLachlan is a prime example of an artist able to plunge into the abyss of emotions and the inner depths of the human soul. She truly has the soul of a Bard.

  • Im a big fan of sarahs music i LOVE all her music ive been a fan since i was 15 am 29 now an her music has helped me at times in my life ... Shes human jus like us all...

  • great song and video

    she loves this guy but she has a husband and doesnt want to ruin the marriage, even though she knows the guy she loves is perfect for her, which is why shes calling herself stupid

  • she loves this guy but has a husband and doesn't want to ruin the marriage, yes, and the reason why she's calling herself stupid is because she's letting herself be involved with the guy at all. which is why at the end of the video she pushes him away and lets him go out the door, and is sitting there with her husband. sigh, at least that's what i get from the video. and huge kudos to her for staying with the husband!! ;O)

  • I thought she feels lust for this man. Yes she is in a loveless marriage, but maybe this 'other man' is worse for her.

  • but she's sitting sort of away from her husband, body language shows she doesn't really love him IMO.

  • i luv this song its beautiful

  • mi god!!! what a wonderful video, love the concept!!

  • gorgeous song :)

  • I love her !

  • I love the vid! at the end I am like Nooo... Go to him Ah! awe. The things we do.

  • I ♥ the video, but why does she keep like turning down the guy, like first their like all pver each other, then shes like "NO" and pushes him off, wth?

  • she's such a beauty.. what a great song....

  • Man this is painful to watch, but what a good video!

  • How stupid could I be? 2002-2008/T/down the drain.

    Never again.. I won't be stupid anymore..

  • I love this song.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG :):) :P:P:P i found it by an acident now i cant get enough of it HAHA :)

  • lol wow frog, call it an honest question. i have no clue what this song is about. i like the song. now since you obviously know what its about explain it to me please. =)

  • can anyone tell me what this video or song is about?

  • If you can't relate to this song... well you must be a man or completely devoid of life experience.

  • Well, I am "man", and I know exactly what this song is talking about.

    Its a simple depiction of how women seem to always want what they cant have, and when they risk it all to get it, they usually find out how the first "guy in this case", is actually better for their lives overall. But as usual, most of them now days are willing to make that sacrifice for false truth and intelligent thought. Its easier to have ignorant lustful intent.

    Of coarse Sarah played it from the womans perspective.

  • But with that being said, She performed it excellently as usual.

    How could you not appreciate the emotion and power of her talent? No one really compares to her in modern form.

  • Also, this is a direct paradox to "Sweet Surrender"

    Its the same story played out farther in to the time after she left what was the best for her life behind.

    Both messages powerful, and on point with reality.

  • Actually, nice that you've put it from a 'man''s perspective. She's actually in a loveless marriage. It's not 'better' for her, she's not 'going for what she can't have' just because she can't have it. Men like you always generalize and thats bullshit. You make up little explanations to make you feel better when you get rejected.

  • I wonder how many women would condone it if the man was in a loveless marriage

  • You are exactly right.

  • I remember seeing this video when it first cam eout and I was like only 15 or something but still loved and still love it now! Love&kisses&blessing Ms. McLachlan!!

  • Sarah Mclachlan is quite possibly the greatest female artist in like history!

    shes beautiful

    shes have a amazing voice

    She smart

    Shes Canadian

    Lovee her soo much

    Sara your biggest Fan!!

  • I LOVE THIS VOICE - SARAH IS AN ANGEL

  • this is amazing song. and its so true about human temptation. even when we know its wrong, the temptation is always still there. lol

  • At this very moment I am in this situation...

    Yet I can not walk away !

  • we have all been stupid dont worry about it

  • i love this song.

  • this song reminds me of college when all i needed to do was listen to others

  • this man at the beginning reminds me of Edward Cullen

  • this video and song is like a re-occouring karmic relationaship between star crossed lovers over many lifetimes... both sad and seductive, and taboo.... fate leads them together but they are never quite one...

  • This reminds me of Maria Bertram and Henry Crawford in Mansfield park.

  • oh what a bitch... nah only jokin^^ sarah mclachlan ftw!

  • no worries sarah, we´ve all been this stupid ;)
