Sometime Around Midnight (Majordomo Version)

[UrFairyCodmother]

Literally gave me goosebumps...

[KrokovTheRed]

You look at the way he digs through the photos and all this happens (this whole song) in a manner of minutes. The same time it takes for you to look at a photo you don't want to - but know you need to - get rid of. At the end, he finally does what's best, but likely remembers all the memories he felt the few minutes before. The emotions that follow, while those photos burn are what we feel when we click the replay button. It's a beautiful song.

Asians rock!

[jorgebrs117]

no puedo creer que sea el unico mexicano que conoce a este grupo tan bello (:

[pocoyofan06]

the song almost makes you want to feel this experience just so you can relate to the song!

[EndingAli]

I hate to be "that" guy but if you guys could check out my channel. I'm a starting musician who plays acoustic-style music and will be putting up more videos of my original music. It would mean the world to me, thanks if you do :)

[LovKaiBaby]

this song is so amazing even though ive never had an experience like that in the songs but it still speaks to me in a way

[wobbledobbleish]

Majordomo Staghelm

[MrTonys88]

so emotional one of the best songs to come out in the past few years

[900macninja]

1st time i heard this song was the day after splitting from the mrs..........few months later its like deja vu.....in a bar with mates and she's there..............plays out just as the song goes.......

[bigpoppatexas]

We need more Asian guitar players in this world...

[mvitorino10]

@bigpoppatexas absolutely! Love him!

[NeoUrRuler]

@tour1stas you're right man.

[TBHSRC1]

Saw this video on MuscleWeek..

[NeoUrRuler]

[9897431]

I love this one a LOT. If you want to check out its little-sister type of music video check out the Silversun Pickups' "Lazy Eye"

[UploadingUser]

@9897431 All of my love... : | That song... : D

[konsev9]

what are the chances to find out what violin brand they use?

[NeoUrRuler]

Luz.........

[borntubewyld81]

That made me tear up honestly

[nicholasrl13]

Check out my cover of this

[areisi00]

this video is so much better than their other music video for this song...the other one may be more technically and cinematically advanced, but it completely lacks the raw emotion that oozes from this version

[DannieJo33]

@areisi00 I agree, I like the other video, but this one enbodies the song perfectly...

[Hockeylead]

@areisi00 Couldn't agree more



[mvitorino10]

amazing song!

[mopeybear]

brings back so many memories from my HS days... :-(

[Mikesdailyjukebox]

this song is like the best U2 song they never recorded. Actually U2 used this song as their intro on the 360 tour.

[xxHollysxballetx93xx]

2011 and I am still obsessed with this song...

[Tmoody1966]

I love the passion in this group. You can feel every note and evey movement in the music. Wonderful music.

[GREASY357]

man..

[Wufwufwuf3]

It's Fresh & New for a change, Great Group

[kratis999]

it happened to me tonight.After i returned home and i just had to listen to this song.

[Ayz35]

Tragoudara!

[ashleyseaton4]

I am 16, seen these live twice. Luckily, i was introduced by my dad about 2-3 years ago and ever since i have fallen in love. Unfortunately, this video has described a similar situation already, all be it not in a bar. It just shows how many interpretations of this song there is and can be.

[losangelesclasssub]

awsome.

[danilynn50]

does anyone know if this was in a movie or something?? :)

[amazenfireangel]

@danilynn50 it was in the bar scene in Eagle Eye. :)

[Erioke]

@danilynn50 In the movie 'The Scenesters'

[juliantom182]

maybe the saddest song i've ever heard...

[openwaterdude]

@juliantom182 You should check out "River of Love by T-bone Burnett." One of the saddest, most beautiful songs ever written. My favorite version is on his self-titled album.

[GloveSlapnz]

His voice remind me of a younger Neil Diamond.

[BassPlayerSusan]

@GloveSlapnz Yep, and that guitar reminds me of The Edge.

[openwaterdude]

@GloveSlapnz Now that you mention it, yes, he does.

[Masternater1000]

This song and vid are the best that I have seen since Maps, which is still one of the most raw ever.

[MsStarsandstripes12]

This is going to sound so stupid, but whenever I hear this version and see this video, I get extremely jealous about his emotions for this girl. I know everyone said this, but his emotion is genuine and apparent in the vocals, lyrics, and video. I sort of see how much he cares for her...and it makes me envious. I want to be her....:] I've genuinely never felt that way about someone I never met...ahahahah this is strange.

[ukgolfa]

@MsStarsandstripes12

Go find and listen to the original version of Gordon Lightfoot's 'If You Could Read My Mind'.

A folk song with a much less visceral lyric, and yet amazingly in the same genre of what you just witnessed..

Peace.

[xDragonK55x]

"The song is autobiographical, about the night that lead singer Mikel Jollett met a former girlfriend while out at a bar, during which he discovered that he still loved her. The entire band was present during this event. The lyrics to the song were written in isolation by Jollett over the course of the next three days."

-Wikipedia article for "Sometime Around Midnight"

[iambored5]

songs too gangsta

[jenifer26071]

I'm seeing them in concert SUNDAY . SO excited.

[HeroeSilencio]

amazing...I´d like to see u at concert, you rules!

[daftpunkc4L]

hey Marlyne Guerrero.... Fuck You.

[itslydia8]

The best song ever!!!

[tetreault100]

when my girlfriend left me last year i had her listen to this song... were back together and she still cries when she hears it

[SHITube100]

i like it so much..Bravo Airborne..nice song

[ziva452]

I like how he sings it. To me this song is perfecct.

[pinktink2010]

Listening to this song makes me cry more, yet it's still on repeat.

[nickschueller24]

That feeling when your eyes meet and then look away

[ISAOREGON]

For me it sounds like a copy of Arcade Fire, which is 1000 times better than this, Specially this video sucks and is for pre-teens!

[petem1992]

@ISAOREGON Screw you man

[MimeTime111000]

My girlfriend of 4 years left me today... </3

[orlanskimer]

@MimeTime111000 I know that feel, bro. be tough, you'll get through this, even though it feels as if you wont!

[MrHardstylenoob]

@MimeTime111000 damn!!!

sorry bro....

[SHITube100]

@MimeTime111000 forget the bitch

[narkolepticable]

it's amazing song!

[TrentB77]

majordomo, like.. firelands?

[outtaluck11]

@TrentB77 majordomo is a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or takes charge for another.

[snowgoddess402]

I am a 60 yo woman who had almost stopped believing in male passion. Yet, someone had to write this, someone had to produce it, someone had to sing it. It is the most raw, passionate musical effort since Bob Marley did "No Woman No Cry' at Harvard in 1979--just after he had diagnosed with a fatal cancer. The lead singer is about the hottest act I've seen since early Springsteen....rock on.

[danokeeff]

@snowgoddess402 cant believe nobody gave you credit for that comment !! HERE HERE !

[Hempstraw]

@snowgoddess402 You really need to explore your boundaries a little more. There are a lot of passionate male singer/song writers out there. Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. is perhaps the most passionate individual human alive who makes you feel what he is singing through his amazing voice!

Peace out ...

[MrEdavenport89]

@snowgoddess402 you should check out mumford&sons.. very passionate

[ShreadsEBS]

@snowgoddess402 The last act to express the heart break of a grown man was Radio Head. I heard this song after my Ex left me for someone else. This song described the hurt and emotion that runs through a mans mind when he's been betrayed. This song goes out to all the men who been taken for granted.

[tour1stas]

@ShreadsEBS man... don't ever feel bad if a woman leaves you for another man... ppl like her don't deserve our pain... if she ever loved you she wouldn't do that! that's my opinion!

[abigailsterling08]

@ShreadsEBS Radiohead & ATE. 2 of the greatest bands ever. 

[Jennirn2u]

@snowgoddess402 your comment brought tears to my eyes. I feel the same way.

[dodgers88]

The meaning: Living life with depression as your day focus. Seeing the girl you spent years with & the love that was shared to only fade away. Seeing them with another guy and remembering all the things you guys did. Now another man took your place that leaves you on your own. You just have to see her but you know she will break you in two.

[josephbuenviaje]

i like the majordomo version better (:

[PhinallyWC08]

All the people who disliked this song have never had their hearts broken...but someday it will happen to them, and when it does every last one of them will come running back to this song.

[dfserkan]

cage the elephant aberdeen here.:)

[arrianababes]

just so heart-touching.

[fancybrit93]

This is the first song I ever REALLY cried to. A few songs have made me misty eyed, but this song made me weep like a baby. To this day, I come close. <3

[ynotgo4itall1]

Makes me wanna go to a big club and feel the music all night long

[docnom]

And you walk...

under the streetlights

and you're too drunk to notice

that everyone is staring at you

and you so care what you look like

the world is falling

around you

[muaythai166]

its interesting that theres really no chorus in the song, its just like verse after verse telling a story

[HeeyDumbledoreSmokes]

damn, his voice is so similair to Bruce Springsteens!

[Juppo123]

watching this video while knowing it's based on true events happened to the singer. it leaves me breathless, every single time.

[floridabowhunter]

people are animals. And this song is a symphony of awesome.

[helloxbrightxeyes]

what a bitch...

[outtaluck11]

@helloxbrightxeyes Who are you talking to?

[helloxbrightxeyes]

@outtaluck11 the girl in the video.

[outtaluck11]

@helloxbrightxeyes The ex-girlfriend? You arn't talking about Anna... Correct?

[helloxbrightxeyes]

@outtaluck11 the ex(:

[ExpiringRapture]

CAN'T. STOP. LISTENING. I LOVE HIS VOICE!

[CatSchrodingers]

it happened to me as well:) the bar, the me, the only one i loved with another girl... ending up crying drunk on the bench all night... i'm not over him. but i am over being not over him. so...

no matter how much you don't care I LOVE YOU. Good luck. And good bye...... @-->--

[bananenfoon]

like 2 years my boyfriend showed me this and when we broke up i played this like constantly.. brings back memories (:

[AssuredAssurance]

@Oholivee33 No doubt, me too <3

[JdSuperman60]

Amazing Lyrics..No Bullshit.

[UnlimitedApathy]

You should replace the word "Majordomo" with "Good" it really is far far far better than the front man centric remake video.

[suplexingacougar]

i really prefer this version of music video to the other. its way more poetic if you ask me

[JeebusBand]

I'm only 18 so I haven't experienced this... but damn they did a fantastic job of expressing the hurt.

[h31003]

Yeah...This song hit home :(

[cspine333]

have had this happen to me once, a long time ago. This song beautifully captures those emotions and thoughts and feelings. This song was definitely written from experience.

[bmp354]

First song I've ever crowd surfed to.

[Elekks]

@bmp354 That sounds amazing bro :D

[QuamCelerrime]

@bmp354 Epic

[HATESpinnerbait21]

I LOVE MUSIC. And I love this song.

[h0b0inth3sn0w]

I swear I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear this song.

[MrAlpixoid]

Man,this has happened to me so many times.And I'm trying for it to happen again,just to have this song meaning,so I can listen to it til' I die.

[PsychoNorth]

this is the only song i've ever known that can make my eyes water and all the hairs on my neck and arms stand right up

[zaaackattaaack]

why do they have two music videos of this?

not complaining, both are great but, huh?

(still an awesome song!)

[scribesanslumiere]

they were so good at ACL!!!

[blackandfaded]

39 people are the bitches that broke their man's heart.

[SkaterBill28]

can some one please explain this song to me, i love it so much but dont know what it means..

[nikkerknock]

@SkaterBill28 What's not to get. He sees his ex out and all these feelings come back to him. This happens with me whenever my x's see me out ;)

[TheMedllama]

@SkaterBill28 In short, it's about having your heart broken. And then seeing the one you love, while drunk, at a bar, with another man/woman. And all the feelings that come with that experience.

[hockeyshot100]

@SkaterBill28 search the lyrics...

[miguelster562]

When she leaves you for your very own friend. -__-

[DoITLikeTheMau5]

@miguelster562 epicly sad man -__-

i wud have killed him

[Gregd8888]

good song but pretty much all of you are whiny fags

[DoITLikeTheMau5]

i seriously hate vevo

[pacolazo123]

@klindsey2011 or maybe they just didnt like it

[p7riv]

bandas similares porfa asi con letras profundas y triste melodias

[SamSpeigle]

These guys have managed to capture one of the most complex and intense feelings we can experience as humans. Also, I love how they leave the listener in suspense at the end of the song. You almost feel like there should be another verse where he goes to see her, but they leave you in suspense, which is what always happens. 9/10 times, you'd never go see her, as badly as you want to, and you're always left wondering... amazing song.

[LocoPelirojo13]

:( (tears) Gets me everytime...

[LocoPelirojo13]

I remember this was the first song I heard by The Airborne Toxic event, same video too, this was 1st when they had barely came out. I was up late night on VH1, maybe around 3am, I thought Wow who are theses guys, this was a truly touching peace of Art, and this song is what started my course to becoming a truly big fan. This is truly an Amazing band, and their music is truly great art. If anything they should be catagorized R.A.P (Rythm.Art.Poetry) Love Ya TATE! Can't wait for October 12!

[bigdsears]

They're playing here in Austin on Sunday at ACL Fest... Come on down

[MrBonersoup1]

:/ wow so the one girl i love wants to take a break.... and when this happens this song comes on my ipod and.... :) i think i can live <3

[JessicaSivasGirl]

I listen to this song at least once a day

[jdespierta]

u haven’t seen her for a while,but u know, that she’s watching..and all these memories come rushing*then u walk, under the streetlights,and u’re too drunk to notice,that everyone is staring at u.u just don’t care what u look like,the world is falling around u.u just have to see her..u know that she’ll break u in two...*

[1jelly2tot3]

T.A.T.E. are my favourite band everrr! i went to see them in april and mikel jollett took a massive swig of water from a water bottle and then threw it into the audience and it is currently sat on a shelf in bed room:') and the drummer, dan taylor, sold me a t-shirt ans found it pretty funny that i had kept the water bottle, best night of my life!:D and this is my favourite song ever ever ever!!!<3

[Youngren13]

It's sad how a group of exceptional musicians only receives 1.5 million views whilst Kesha gets 68 million. Long live original musicians like Airborne Toxic Event

[Jaymetal101]

This video is exactly what is happening too me. :\

[RevelAlliance]

@Jaymetal101 truly gutted for you

[geokrax]

i could imagine the video of this song just like that!so pure and true!:)

[lexesp777]

If you like this youll love wishing well.. I promise

[crisrulesall1]

I listen to this song sometime around midnight!

[mpa324]

he sounds like Brad Roberts of the Crash Test Dummies,almost

[bnbsmith07]

Such an ah maze en build up in this song!!! im a sucker for it!!! :-)

[bnbsmith07]

Great video and awsome song!!

[Dave29671]

This is an amazing piece of work.

[provehitoinaltum07]

Happened to me.... But happened at a best buy :/

[ItBeReece]

New favourite band 

[redbearwoodall]

Man, this happened to me a little while ago. Watching this kind of stung because it brought back the memories from when that happened, but it also helped me gain some closure, knowing that other guys have the same problem and they get over it too. P.S. Sarah Eakle, if you're reading this, I'm so over you.

[deadrbug]

@redbearwoodall fuck that. dude in the video shoulda beat the other dudes ass and thrown a drink at the chick or something. cus he doesnt hit girls. P.S. Magie Murillo, if you're reading this, im so not over you.

[frogy555]

bitter sweet...

[greenjellybeanXD]

0:00 - 5:02 favorite part <3

[klindsey2011]

35 people haven't had this happen to them…. YET. Just wait though, because when this does happen to you, and i promise it will, you're going to come running back to this song so fast and you're going to realize the meaning behind the words. So just wait.

[MasterShake087]

@klindsey2011 it hurts man! IT FUCKING HURTS!! but guess what??? I did the same thing to her :D HAHAHAHA

[solorgana]

@klindsey2011 I had a moment like this back in the mid 90's (yeah, I am old). When I first heard this song I thought, "Why didn't I write this song?"

[klindsey2011]

@solorgana Been there done that man, i would be so freaking rich right now.

[hilloty]

@klindsey2011 You are right...:/

[hilloty]

@klindsey2011 You are right...:/

[klindsey2011]

@hilloty I.CANNOT.WAIT. i'm going to see them live October 13

[hilloty]

@klindsey2011 Oh, you are lucky! I wish I could go :[

[gamero4]

@klindsey2011  ima see them october 23rd!

[Xao14]

@klindsey2011

Being with the girl you like. You like her a lot. She leaves you. You see her with another guy. You become jealous. You become filled with rage and feel numb. You wish you could've done something.

Im guessing something along the lines of that?

[Nudedude555]

@klindsey2011 i had it happen then after i found solstice in a friend ended up falling for her got to obssesive and she showed her true colors turns out she lied to me alot told one of my secrets and when she found out i was in love with her she told me she wouldnt care if i killed myself at the same time i met brittany who was and is the one and only girl i will ever love from now on she was told i was cheating on her which was bull and she left me for one of the guys who told her i did

[elvensbane]

@klindsey2011 You're right.

[Br3nD0g]

@klindsey2011 ur so right, and when it does happen to you, even if your a fully grown man, you'll cry like a little baby
