  • 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 love Keane....always! And this one song is my favorite of all...

  • @mirenium1374 Yeah, me too!! Although it's a sad song (makes me slightly tearful sometimes), this is one of my favorite songs as well.

    You'll find it on the album 'Hopes and Fears' :)

  • me and my sister always watched this video when we were kids, bit messed up for kids to watch that as seen as it makes me sad now :(

  • I cry

    

  • @Nivvorendinggeordie I hope you don't think that "Keane" is a guy :L

  • Omg Good song oO I am thrilled

  • Tom is and always was the most amazing singer! He deserves loads of credit for how far he has come too. One of the most beautiful songs ever!

  • Does anybody else think it sounds like they are saying "Obama" towards the end of the song?

  • take a minute or two to check out my channel, plz. please. PLEASE. plz. plez. pl0x. PLEZZ

  • whe does he cry?

  • :(

  • A 10 INÚTILES LES GUSTA EL REGGAETON... ESTE TEMA ES LO +!!

  • @MiikA142295 a mi m gusta el reggaeton pero esta musica tambien :)

  • Keane is the best band in the world XD

  • Keane is the best band in the world XD

  • es nuestra canción amor SIV :*

  • exelente tema

  • exelente tema

  • berbentuk tempat tidur

  • This song reminds me of people with depression, social anxieties and other pychological disorders.

  • 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

  • this video production is awesome

  • @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!

  • @WIldFire979 :(

  • As good as it gets, beautiful. Virgin megastore came to a standstill when they played this, magnificent.

  • @Joe9017 I bet!!!! xD

    Keane has always been a fave band of mine,and always will be. I have all of their albums!! :)

  • Woderdfull, clip, music and idea! BRAVO!

  • Woderdfull, clip, music and idea! BRAVO!

  • 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

  • God man, this is friggin sad: Song/Video.

  • Inimitable...

  • 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 buuuuuu!!!!!

  • @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

  • @WildMorgan Thanks buddy but how d'ya know?

  • @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 :-)

  • There will be no more homelessness now Cameron is in control: DISCUSS

  • what do i know?

  • ang ganda! very good! lahat!

  • Grrr, I should be studying, but the music distracts me and I can't stop listening! xD

  • such an amazing song but scares the shit out of me, even though that little homeless dude isn't real, it still upsets me so much

  • I love how the wall starts breaking at 3:45 and the bricks tumble down, it's like the poor little guy ain't alone :-)

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG...

    

  • The song's great, the band is great, and even the video is well done! Love it.

  • THE SONG'S BRILLIANT!!!!

  • Song is great... but I have no idea what's going on in the video... haven't the foggiest, dude... throw me a bone man!

  • 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!

  • this song reminds me of my dad's death, so I always end up crying when i listen to this song!

  • 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 :)

  • i need a drink.

  • Nothing beats good ol' stop-motion animation. Great video, Great song.

  • @TwilightHighway NOT ALL ITS STOPMO RETARD

  • @daf867 I 'm well aware of that, I was referring to the stop-motion sections of the video in that comment. You obviously aren't intelligent enough to figure that out, though. Presumably that's why you can't seem to turn your caps lock off or form a gramatically coherent sentence as well.

  • questo video e' splendido. bravi

  • questo video e' bellissimo. bravi

  • amo este video es tan tristee pero tan lindoo :)
