As someone who's gone through agoraphobia & depression this video is scarily reminiscent of what it's like to be trapped and feel cut off from the world around you. This song reminds me how lucky I am to be here today having escaped from those dark places and been freed from them, much like the character in the video. If you're there don't give up, you can make it.
@Joyfulcheese I feel ya mate, and glad you're still here. We have a lot of things to be thankful for in this life, though not always easy to appreciate them.
The clip shows a grim image and so do the lyrics at first sight. .Still i get a feeling of a new beginning when I hear the chorus. This song inspires.
I don't know why but this video made me tear up a bit- reminded me of all the times I locked myself in a bathroom because I didn't want to face what was outside.
This song is awesome, but i must say, it would be a greater song if they put it to the limit and really made something of the epic climax. There is not really a build-up to it and if you think it's there, it's already gone in an instance. Nevertheless a great song.
This song fits for so many different things. A song for a turning point in life from the dark moving forward and away from pains and hurts. Becoming a stronger person. I could never say it to her face but I love you with all my heart and I will miss you more than you will ever know and letting you go is the hardest thing I've ever had to do but I will push through the pain and tears and grit my teeth and move on for you. I love you. I miss you. Im sorry
New favorite Keane song....i loved it before but now after seeing the music video. <3 Blow's everybody's changing away. But still an amazing song. <3 <3 <3
@Nivvorendinggeordie Funny you say that because to an extent I agree about the quality. However, Tom Chaplin isnt the one who has been writing the songs. It's Tim. So maybe what Tom was going through was seriously affecting Tim as well. I don't know. Love Keane anyways though!
Absolutely awesome song...Amazing animation too.Standing alone gazing into the mirror i can see my life before me.If you can't understand then you've probably never been there.For that you should be truly grateful.It's a very dark and lonely place <3
Absolutely awesome song...Amazing animation too.Standing alone gazing into the mirror i can see my life before me.If can't understand then you've probably never been there.For that you should be truly grateful.It's a very dark and lonely place <3
I hate these animations because they distract us from actual events and plasticise inhumanity. Real people are available you jackasses. (I know it's a great song, but l've no idea what it's about really: as with most of the shit pumped out during the 70's,80's,90's..........
@frenchexperience - It's about feeling that you've been "left behind" by an old friend or lover, and about hoping that you'll be reunited one day so that you can live out the end of your lives together the way you started them, a hope that they'll eventually want to get away from the bright lights and come back home. it's a sad and angry song, but also full of hope
@frenchexperience - That Tim Rice Oxley chap said so in an interview. To be honest though all that matters ultimately is what it means to you as the listener, how you interpret it :-)
thankfully handguns are illegal otherwise every shoegazer in the country would take a revolver to their mouth after listening to this desparately sad song... once they finish the thnakebite.
el mejor tema para mi de keane me encatan desde que lo escuche por primera ves nunca me canso de escucharla me ayuda muchisimo cuando estoy triste hace que llore hasta sacar todo mi dolor...linda terapia
que es una hermosa manera de decirlo ... lo siento mi español no es demasiado bueno, pero me siento de la misma manera que usted hace de esta canción, es absolutamente hermosa...lo siento si que no tiene sentido, como he dicho, no muy buen español ... estoy trabajando en ello jaja
@123456789Keira Do not apologize. I ALSO HAVE GOOD ENGLISH .. AND THIS UNIT COMES MUCH TO ME BY HEART AND MOURN THAT MAKES ME FEEL THE PAIN GET ONE LET ME LOVE YOU, AFTER MUCH LOVE HIM .. IS NOTHING MORE THAN FOR THAT. . EVEN BEFORE THEY HAPPEN AND ALSO IN MY HEART
its so weird, this was me and my girlfriends 'song' (I know it sounds gay) but when the bloke falls down the stairs there is a heart with the initials L + M on the wall - my name Lucas her name Maria. how about that!
EVERY ONE NEEDS TO SEE the short movie Butterfly, thats what this music video is using the clips from, im so glad Keane used it, it is a beautiful song and a powerful movie
que buen video no lo digho por pretenciosos pero este si lo es la manera en que comineza y la letra es como si fuera un muñeco de plastilina empezando un dia mas ojala hubiera relaciones que puedan adaptarse a cada cancion vivir por una cancion o una cancion por vivir ????
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This was one of my favourite songs till i saw the video. It used to make my mind travel but since i watched clip it made it so 'mainstream'. Disappointment.
I love the animation of the ban in the video.. song talks about someone depressed and separated from a lover and hoping to get back together one day.. I like how the video is showing someone not able to go out in public, hiding in a (box) and with the cat, like a pet next to you, only one you can talk to.
3:38 towards the end is meaningful, because there is always hope :)
great song,shame he messed himself up,could have been a massive band,sit and write you fool,pull yaself out of it dont live off it,you got more i know it,write ya feelins down n sing again,means alot to me this one x
Just heard a snippet of this song on ITV's "Mister Eleven" and thought 'I like that' ..... Just heard it in its entirety and seen the video.... Wow, what a song and what an even better video!
