Travis - Writing To Reach You

[1fgeofrey]

Good track this. Not played it for years. But have just been singing along.

Also in the video the part where the planes are shooting at the ground fits so well with that section of the music.

I wasn't aware the band split up, until reading a comment on this page.

[vazqum1]

what is wrong with you? I was just joking...

aashh... youtubers... ¬¬

[afterallitsme]

10 people aren't home for Christmas. :(

[MrBrightEyesz]

those kids are mean !

[chiffmonkey]

@zape00 lol as you are is the,name of a travis track

[earthwielder]

Dude.... I've ALWAYS wondered what a wonderwall is. Ever since I first heard the song.

[LtActionCam]

wait....why were they throwing rocks at him? Id chase their asses.

[Ispanico717]

what's the sense of this video, please? Can you explain?

[RocksRevenge]

such a good song. why cant pop music be like this nowadays?

[themahermax]

i can hear wonderwall of oasis in this song !!

[willzer808]

I used to really like this song, and a good few other songs written by them, but he's voice is kind of nagging, like a pain in the ass that you cannot get rid of. Moany, awful bloody moany. But I used to really like them. God why does life have to be so complicated. Why do feelings have to change, subside, develop, die. What a killer

[Scarperguy]

@willzer808 I know what you mean. They're a brilliant band but I find it difficult to listen to Travis for some reason, I'll only listen rarely, that way my appreciation remains, I guess.

[marjan612]

I couldn't get the meaning of this video , though I love this song ,is there anyone to explain this to me?

[gatita8]

As he gets older, he just gets more handsome ;))  Love your music!

[crisatunity]

What is a wonderwall?

[Meandmypc12]

@crisatunity a sort of protection

[KittehAnims]

Nice fucking chords mate.

[arii180107]

omg this is in the remix of green day and oasis!!!!!

[chiffmonkey]

As you are being a travis song lol. I give up.

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey well, in fact "buttercups" is the single that fran recorded in 2010 after the band broke up

[gogolplex74]

lol what's that car?

it's the same from why does it always rain on me video

[chiffmonkey]

Why is he getting bullied in every video?

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey because it always rains on him

[chiffmonkey]

@Zape00 And he's just driftwood :)

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey lol never saw that joke coming around

[chiffmonkey]

@Zape00 You were too busy walking in the sun.

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey actually i was so busy putting some flowers in the window

[chiffmonkey]

@Zape00 I'm sure they'll make people on the street happy. They might even sing.

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey then I wouldn't believe my eyes and maybe I would tell them to get closer.

[chiffmonkey]

I'd stop this stupid comment rally but I guess I'm a re-offender.

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey ok, this is getting colder, just turn.

[chiffmonkey]

@Zape00 Look into my eyes man, can't you see I'm happy?

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey No more travis songs. Now all I have is buttercups.

[chiffmonkey]

@Zape00 As you are then. ;)

[Zape00]

@chiffmonkey what is wrong with buttercups?

[joebreen83]

every day a wake up and it's sunday = DO TOU KNOW THE FELLING . lol

one of the best bands to come out of scotland EVER really underated band/song would like to see more music like this keep up the good work fran.

[retroreds]

@joebreen83 ... when the competition is Bay City Rollers, Wet Wet Wet and Rod Stewart, that's quite an achievement :-)

[Flashaman1845]

@retroreds lol ...... You forgot the Proclaimers ;-) true but also Primal Scream, Biffy Clyro, Franz Ferdinand, KT Tunstall,Gerry Rafferty Rip, Simple Minds, Paulo Nuttini, Texas, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Vaselines,Ultravox, Amy MacDonald, Glasvegas, Teenage Fan Club, The Beta Band, Belle & Sebastian............and the irrepressable Colonel Mustard & the Dijon 5 !!

[yoenamoradafer]

I LOVE THIS SONG, IS AMAZING.............. I MISS YOU SO MUCH FER, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU, I JUST WANT TO REACH YOU

[TashaMac89]

favorite favorite favorite travis song. i could seriously listen 2 this nonstop which is wat i've been doing since i first heard it a couple of days ago lol

[jennifer1985]

Love this x

[offspringgta]

anyone else think crhis martin looks EXACTLY like this in the "yellow" video. like legit, the rosy face, the outfit, same haircut; plus they're both late britpop songs which were popular near the turn of the 20th century.

[Bluzme]

@offspringgta I wouldn't say that, chris martin looks kinda drunk (or something like that) wabbling around in that . its just that the idea for the yellow video is not at all original, that makes it look a bit familiar ...and otherwise it's just so very boring - unlike this one

:) but that's only what I think

[Whatupwidat]

@offspringgta if there is any similarity it'd just be Martin doing a tribute to Travis, as he's said in interviews that Travis are one of his favourite bands.

[RichiBitch]

HOW THE HACK CAN THEY MAKE AWESOME SINGING MELODIES LIKE THESE??? :D SCARY!

[freedraco]

OMG this is so fuckin AWESOME!!!! love this song long time didnt hear this wow

[janiac83]

Ah Travis. How I bloody adored them in my teens. Had a video with all their music vids and interviews taped off the telly (pre youtube days of course) which I'd pathologically watch over and over again. Aint nothing better than the sheer OTT love you have for a band when you're 14 years old. That said they truly did have some cracking songs, Fran Healy knows how to write a shithot melody. A great band.

[TheStalkingShadow]

Don't compare bands, they all offer their own special sound to the world.

[HTEBAZILX]

ME GUSTA MUCHO ESTA CANCION Y MAS SI SON DE TRAVIS .

CON CARIÑO ELIZ-TIA

[danslers]

es mejor chido0

[thehectorshow1]

esta me re gusta de verdad !! =) i love fran !!!

[Channel1616]

i will always believe this is the best song in the world

[GaGaOx]

i love travis <3

[frecklemaggie]

LOVE THIS SONG! LOVE TRAVIS! AHH!

[kkmiyakawa]

love Travis and his songs

[djgezzy]

travis the welsh love you

[Dalmaik]

Travis got me and my hubby together and will always love them for that. 10 years and still going strong. :)

[kojakooool]

named my son travis because this band have inspired me since i bought their album when i was still single.That was on late 90`s i think.

[vazqum1]

@kojakooool POOR KID...

[kojakooool]

@vazqum1 wow thanks for ure stupid comment ive seen mine had 77 likes!

[vazqum1]

@kojakooool the reason that you had 77 likes doesnt change the abuse by yourside with your kid by naming him travis...

My favorite band is oasis, and I the name of my future children wont be oasis... but good for you...

peace...

[ola45678910]

@vazqum1 wow ur so silly!

there is nothing wrong with naming a kid travis (it is actually a name)

What's wrong with you?

I'm naming my kid Alice (from Alice in chains) Are you gonna get mad at me too?

[007thelastlover]

@kojakooool lucky boy...great album fantastic album ! brings up memories...

[ianupton]

that was me in the plane. its only 1 of 5 air worthy german 109s in the world. 3 are with air museums and this and another are in private hands and used often for air shows and film work. i pulled it down far too short on the last and final run so you will notice me pulling up sharply on the stick and losing airspeed at the point the pyrodex charges run off.

[kevthejester79]

well done mate thats your claim to fame and u should be proud of ur self

[ianupton]

i totally made that story up. SUCKER !!! it was me throwing the stones earlier. im too young to fly a plane you knobsack.

[kevthejester79]

dont get all lemion u soppy prick hidin behind a computer u tosser

[ianupton]

its a laptop. and you smell of wee. and i win and everything.

[TheOriginalWASTEMAN]

I loved The Man Who. What an amazing album. <3

[Nayson]

The man who mistook his wife for a hat, trivia fans. <3

[teboyea]

Brings me right back...

[erikammc]

This is my favourite song, i love you Travis!!!

[mikiep4]

One of my all time favorite albums but it has to be the one with all the hidden tracks after slideshow!

[ts0ts]

I <3 Travis

[patti03]

cioburi, credeam ca numai noaptea se vad.. iata ca lumina zilei nu face decat sa le ascuta

[conofman2424]

BRILLIANT!!

[dukeofpearl]

great fookin vid AND song! Travis had the world in the palm of thier hands...then the drummer goes and fooks his neck up!??? they could of been huge, but unfortunatly time passed them by. MASSIVE shame!

[josemo1]

What an intro!!

[thejmeister88]

I bet the .07 of negative ratings this video has are due to the freaky girls eyes...

[stewartyrab]

used to listen to this album on my mini disc player lol

[stewartyrab]

reminds me of the old days, fuckin love it

[MrKieran1875]

[sillypoochi]

[Dalrrr]

our countryside is really that dangerous! =D JKjk

[hidayatiaziz]

[jamessully2k6]

Traviss Own !!

[Litia23]

very good british sound, i love u.k bands and im from new zealand,where not many people notice it,

[jackh4eva]

My favourite Travis song.

[ebroome]

Thats funny he mentions wonderwall because the chord progression sounds similar

[GitteJP]

:-) It's meant to!

[ebroome]

Thats what I figured I had just never heard this song and I thought that was pretty cool

[GitteJP]

SORRYYYYY....gave you thumbs down. I'm sitting by this stupid laptop and wanted to reply to your answer when the cursor just touched it....is there a way to remove it. I really didn't mean to....I totally agree that it's a cool song.

[RequiemForABuckeye]

Does that girl have eyes? Looks like black holes.

[onions9]

HAHA! He is the absolute spitting image of a friend of mine!!!!

[homedogg300]

That IS funny.

Thanks for sharing.

[sikoscot]

my favourite travis song

[shericand]

Going to see them this Friday in LA. Hope they still play this song in their set. My absolute fave!

[TamzinQ]

gosh, Fran looks so cute :)

I <3 Travis! They ROCK.

[reb3llist]

lol what an ending

[mnkpepper]

travis brings good memories.

[tubesurfer07]

that's awesome... that effect at the end: she's trying to reach us!!

[REBECCAtheSOPRANO]

I don't understand this video :(

[tilleul22]

I think it's to do with he's trying to get through but he always gets shot down. He goes to lengths (distances) but is shot down worse each time, and gets used to it as he goes.

?

[myaddicti0nX10]

they threw rocks at him...

that made me cry /:

[iloveoth01]

Love them :)

[hendrixxj]

travis is good

[Cinqnovembre]

At the beginning, is it Nora?

[busybeeshum]

Because my inside is outside

My right side's on the left side

'cause I am writing to reach you now but...

[busybeeshum]

I might never reach you, only want to teach you

About you but that's not you

Do you know it's true but that wont do

And you know it's YOU I am talking to x

[jorgeverdolaga]

hey look my videos,... I have played this beutiful song too.

[MadnotMad79]

it,s good 2 know that u r home 4 christmas.... :)

[Maaciuss91]

this song is f*cking great ! ! !

[sampoernaori]

i love this song..so deep!!

[gdsum41fan]

i luv them both but they did admit to taking the guitar chords

[jorgeverdolaga]

LOOK MY VIDEO

[skquach]

i agree johannesjuanes

[johannesjuanes]

this song is better than wonderwall by oasis. It was jut underrated....... This is one of the best hits by travis...... the melody is awesome

[aschebecherchen]

indeed dude travis rules

[mydoooom]

I think that both songs are awesome, but Liam's voice is annoying.

[lamusicaeskelly]

@johannesjuanes you right

[SubDMBlime]

@johannesjuanes This song is amazing. I don't understand how it's so unknown. It sounds so familiar even if you've never heard it. I agree; it is better than Wonderwall.

[TheMotomouth]

@johannesjuanes Im sorry, but i can't agree with that, This song is good, but Oasis is in a class of its own

[chiffmonkey]

@johannesjuanes Have you heard the mashup of wonderwall and boulevard of broken dreams that includes a bit of this?

[mmmmmm87]

Whats a wonderwall anyway, hahahaha, gosssssssh i love this band

[coldplayvlv]

este video es genial...me gusta mucho en comun fran,, se ve guapo..jajjaja

[9Christine1]

Wow...this song really touches my heart!

[jorgeverdolaga]

yo tambien tengo un cover

[mil180]

hey guys... i was wondering which are Travis´usual songs in concerts???... please reply!

[RichiePerry]

At the V festival they sang this tune like but they didnt sing there really big hits like why does it always rain on me ETC biggest song they sang id say was flowers in the window and turn. there really good all i wanna doo is rock is a great song aswell sure youl know though.

[doremi5002]

great song

[bugatti103]

They have always made really cool videos to go with the music....

[LuSpain86]

Yeah...

I love their videos. Is like to be watching a film

[LazloProductions]

Thier videos are always really entertaining and abstract.

Not like the usual crap of dancing and stuff.

^^ Goooo Travis!

-Mac

[adam241]

LOL WOW tht has got to be the worst ever fake strafing by a plane like holy fuck

[badfella8]

what are all your top 10 in artists? mine are no in order 1.queen 2.fall out boy 3.linkin park 4.travis 5.oasis 6.newton falkner 7.meat loaf 8.artist that i dnt kno lol? 9.cold play 10.david gray

[LuSpain86]

Most of mine are most of yours

[MattTrevithickMovies]

Id have to agree, minus Fall Out Boy and Linkin Park. I just find Linkin Park's songs all sound similar.

[foofeo]

well there are lots of songs with similar chords, its not ripping off anyone necessarily, their are only so many combinations of chords that sound good you know?

[BoromirsFan]

um, why is a kid being killed by an airplane and a girl trying to murder the lead singer with arrows?

[yellowfellow]

because the girl doesnt want to know herself

or somthing

or get the letter

or somthing

because shes afraid of the truth

or somthing

[drzvook]

This is an amazing song. no doubt about it.

It is very similar , musically, to both oasis wonderwall, and the beatles (dylanesqe) hide your love away...

the lyric "whats a wonderwall anyway" was put in as a joke because they copied the chords.

The video was apparently meant to relate to fran's childhood memories of walking to school.... and then i think they just got bored and decided to shove in the plane for a laugh....after a few beers or something...hahah

[stege]

Great song and awesome video music, I love sequence of the Me109 fighter opening fire, unfortunately he missed. lol xD

achtung!!! ahead!!! horrido!!! xD

[omgcute11]

this is the one Travis video I don't get. does anyone have any insights?

[lapenamosh]

lo mejor que he escuchado

[eneagrama2]

MUY CHIDA LA ROLA

[spot270]

the worlds best band,and their best record too, love travis,,

[bnb21]

they ripped oasis off and got all the credit. boo to UNCREATIVITY

[spot270]

what??, do you own ears????????

[lglp1]

I love Oasis, but don't you find they sound very much like the Beatles???

Travis are phenomenal and still making great Records.

[Looneylew2]

well they made a masterpiece.

[DannyMPD]

they ripped of wonderwall they admitted it, but you cant really hear it if you have untrained ears (dont know notes etc.) so its okay i guess, but if you listen to bouluvard of broken dreams now thats rip off of wonderwall

[divineeyesdestroyer2]

agree but the chord sequence is a highly catchy one so can you blame them :) love the song :D

[Brachamul]

The chords are the same (listen to the bass line). But it doesn't really make the song a copy of Wonderwall or Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

Tons of songs are written on the same chords.

[adam241]

i totally agree with you but at the same time noel who by the way i am a huge fan of "rips" of alot of songs ne he openly admits it he jus calles it like borowing or somethin

[abk83air]

"Travis": I really like this music,

I love this quirky video too.

[arizonachic927]

this song was in the remix od wonderwall and green day its a great song i like when he says 'whats a wonderwall anyways'

[nytimes19992000]

today is gonna be the day that they're never gonna throw it back to you....

[ribenariver]

Fran has aged so much now! when was this, 1999? wonder if it was filmed in bonny Scotland?

[Madserj]

First time I heard this was on either Jo Whiley or Mark and Lard on Radio 1. Fell in love with it first listen. Never became a fan of them in general, but great song.

[corrsgalore]

my fav song and video of travis. lead singer is handsome fellow!

[gfxdude121]

The lead singers a bit young in this xD

great album and great song.

[bananipaz]

espectaculaaar travis sos groso!!

[stargirl0lincs]

Does anyone know where this video was filmed?

[paulio21]

beggining of this and beggining of driftwood sound similar

[UnTiLFuRtHeRNoTiCe]

They're the same chords, its why its in Boulevard of Broken Songs, cos boulevard of broken dreams uses the same chords as well

[fra1986]

pagliacci anche voi questa è copiata a wonderwall
