  • Love this song. Makes my heart lighter than air

  • i love thz song its jus amaizing

  • I'm not sure if those wings at 3:16 are capable of flight.... superhuman splat?

  • Idiots like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber are mentioned all the time, on TV, on the charts, on the radio and I've never heard about this band ever! These guys are the ones who should be famous! I Just honestly don't understand how the music industry works ):

  • I love this song!!

  • Been looking for this song for a while now... thank you SHAZAM! :D

  • Bloc Party?! :D

  • People have the weirdest connections with bands and singers... I never got it; music to me is all about your own personal interpritations. I hear a song I love, and I dont want to see a music video, or obsess about the artist... if their good I'll look up some more of their songs, but chances are there wont be that many more I like, so I move on. This seems to be the complete opposite of everyone else, who treats Pink Floyd, The Beatles and all these other bands like who knows what... lmfao xD

  • The little "bubbly sounds" remind me of Final Fantasy.

  • @Face0313 Oh thank goodness I am not the only one who thinks this

  • @Face0313 so true.

  • Oh, and Deep Purple and T-Rex.

  • The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Clash, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Jam, Oasis, Queen, The Who, Elton John, Sex Pistols, Police, The Cure, Elvis Costello, Cream, Def Leppard, Bee Gees, Roxy Music, The Kinks, The Smiths, Prodigy, The Specials, UB40, Tom Jones, Sting, Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Coldplay, Eric Clapton, Gorillaz, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Kasabian, Joy Division, Brian Eno, Muse, Radiohead, Pulp, Primal Scream, The Libertines, Stone Roses, Doves, Genesis, Stereophonics...

  • i kept on hearing this song at work but didnt know athlete sang it might have known it was them top tune - top band !

  • Amazing. This is one of those songs everyone has heard, but no one knows what it's called or who it's by. Those people are idiots

  • my fav song still even almost a year since i was 1st introduced to it

  • so. awesome.

  • I just lol'd at the fail troll... it's a tune :)

  • i love the beat and the rhythm :)

  • This song is just plain awesome. I can't stop listening to it :)

  • that girl is unreal!

  • 100's of comments later I still haven't found a bad one... Oh besides bosscharly's comment but people have already dealt with that :)

  • @bosscharley Amazing, well it makes me laugh.. in America... [780 Weeks] The Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd... Brillant band... English band! Yet America couldn't find an artist too knock them off the list, for 780 Weeks.. over 12 Years? My, my, my, we must be rubbish.. and now, look at Adele, Katie Melua, Katy B, Kate Nash, Jessie J? So many, i'm struggling to name pure young talent from America? And we created, Dub-Step. Drum 'n' Bass, Grime etc.

  • @MrNoob1796 Yes. Of course. LIke I said, I only named a small number.

  • @bobbieheller lol, trying hard to use big words?

  • @benadict1351 Or you're just too dumb to know them xD

  • @AspirationDrifts lol maybe, na i know them all but it seemed a little forced and unnecessary if you get what i mean?

  • @AspirationDrifts lol maybe , na I know them all ( had to check arbiter though tbh) but it seemed a little forced and unnecessary if you get what I mean?

  • @benadict1351 Yeah, I get what you mean. I know none of those words so I'm the dumb one xP

  • OMG! Someone showed me this song a few months ago. I loved it when I heard it. After a couple of weeks I couldn't remember the name. I've been trying to find it ever since. I've been searching the internet for it and I couldn't find it until today. You don't know how happy I am!!! :')

  • @scarystuffmatt Well put

  • @bobbieheller

    please stop name calling.

  • @bobbieheller I like&respect you for this. <3

  • What I don't understand is that some bands (like MGMT for example ;)) get all the attention whereas these guys are busy making some amazing music and no one listens to it. 300 000 views? That's ridiculously small for a song like this!!! (considering 25% of these views are me :p)

  • reminds me of Kings of Leon ^-^

  • @TheChelseaMcConnell What? haha how? (not mocking you) this just totally sounds nothing like Kings

  • @aceisgreat2008 I never said it sounded like them, silly :)

    Just their vibe reminds me of them.

  • @bobbieheller i would've just called him ignorant, but that works too.

  • This band is the background on my phone from when i saw them live a few months ago. Love them

  • Youmacon sent me here..that Zelda cosplay video from Youmacon had this song for the video and I love and first time for me to hear this group and they are good. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN and ATHLETE!!!

  • @bobbieheller

    point made well but your incessant tone decreases the weight of your argument, i whole heartedly agree but your attachment to using high brow phrases and words which have much simpler alternatives shows your arrogance. If you want to help the youth of today listen to good music that's not force fed by the media then dumb down your argument. Remember, the message only has the hit the lowest denominator of society which is ironically enough.. the very people you stand against.

  • listened to their other stuff after i found this song. don't like the other stuff all too much, but wow is this song ever good.

  • i can't even see bosscharley's comment and i still know he talking b***ocks x

  • Love love love love love x infinity....=3

  • TVDE5-masa hari sukerelawan, Mrs. Lockwood berterimakasih kepada yg dtg n melibatkan diri. Stefan minta maaf bagi pihak damon kepada mason

  • I want to be able to start a fire like that in my hand.

  • @bosscharley so our contribution to music of athlete is a million times worse than canada's contribution. Beiber who?

    

  • The description says this was "out August 17th 2009"

    But this video was uploaded on August 4th 2009...

  • @Tigerclaws63 Correct, the video was uploaded in the run-up to the release of the single to promote it, as usually happens...

  • What is that actresses name??!

  • I would like to know the name of the music that's like Superhuman Touch

  • 300'000'000 views to go

  • bosscharley has been listening to too much Justin Bieber

  • I honestly can't see how anyone could dislike this song!!

    

  • I'm on fire!!!!....>__<!!....love this song

  • @bobbieheller

    you're* and your*

    But you fucking owned that youngster.

  • lol, they're awesome, why aren't they famous like other bands/singers?

  • with churchy2188 on this - but so typical today, isn't it!

  • @bobbieheller best comment ever. :D

  • effing amazingg! :))

  • I listen to Athlete whenever i miss UK. They r so good they can easily put tears in my eyes.

  • I've become addicted to Athlete.

    This music is amazing!

  • @bobbieheller hes probably to stupid to know what u were saying :)

  • The Vampire Diaries sent me here :)

  • Awesome song...i dont usually like mainstream music o_O

  • whoa! i just like this kind of music... :)

  • @bosscharley like you can make this kind of music...

  • @bosscharley are you deaf or something

  • @bosscharley Just because you don't like this band, doesn't give you the right to hate on them. Everyone has their own taste in music. Athlete are obviously a good band if so many people are listening to them. Also, if you do not like them, why are you even watching their video and commenting on it? If you don't like them, don't watch/listen to them.

  • @bosscharley wow... No artistic talent, Dude.. You live in a "modern" world filled with electronic based instruments and sounds, any one with a copy of dance ejay could recreate similar music.. how can you enjoy somthing you've heard millions of times before, but played by a different band ? and seriously the UK no artistic talent?.. hmmm rolling stones, the who, the beatles, muse, lostprophets..... I would go on But Im running out of characters.

  • @bosscharley lmao and your here on youtube talking trash while they are playing to thousands of fans making money sooo who is really lame

  • @bosscharley

    Phil Collins became a very rich man because people actually appreciate a tune and a well constructed song, These guys deserved the same sort of success given some of the tripe that is currently in the charts.

  • @bosscharley go home, poor boy! what a bad taste you have!

  • @bosscharley The UK has no artistic talent? Are you serious right now? Ever heard of The Beatles? The Who? The Rolling Stones? The Kinks? The Kooks? Mika? Wire? The Clash? The Cribs? The Wombats? Mystery Jets? Larson B? Elbow? I'm sorry, but you have serious problems, and a very bad ear for talent.

  • @SophieAmazing or just some seriously bad geography ;)

  • @SophieAmazing You forgot the best band in the world, Blur.

  • @meninjamatt I just named the few I thought of off the top of my head. There are a BUNCH of amazing British bands out there.

  • @SophieAmazing How could you forget the mighty Led Zeppelin :OOO

  • @indigocheese Because I was tired and not thinking straight ;) They are also amazing.

  • @SophieAmazing haha wow u really showed him i was gonna say something but he already got schooled .. twice..this band rocks

  • @asiyahash97 Yes, yes they do.

  • @SophieAmazing and im american big deal its just that i dont have bad ear like that dude

  • @SophieAmazing You missed Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Porcupine Tree, Jethro Tull, Gentel Giant, King Crimson, Just to mention some name, but the list would be eevn longer...

  • @LeoTadde I said a million times and I'll say it again, I just listed a handful of names that off the top of my head. There are SOOOOO many amazing bands from the UK it's insane.

  • @LeoTadde James Blake, Killing Joke, White Lies, Editors...

  • @SophieAmazing you forgot Arctic Monkeys ! The Kooks is my fav brit band!

  • @BlindShorty11 I love them too! And yes, The Kooks are wonderful.

  • @bosscharley you are hating on this band but you bring up Arcade fire, lmao. jump off a bridge with concrete in your shoes. the world has too many shitty human beings in it. one less would make this world a step closer to a perfect society.

  • @bosscharley athletes first album vehicles and animals was released 2003 a year before the killers hot fuss and nominated for the mercury music award for there unique style,you my friend are a tool!!!!!!!!

  • @bosscharley

    Simply put, I think you're an idiot. Look at all the uproar you've caused in the comments box. And also, it's outrageous to say the UK has no artistic talent. Ever heard of the most popular band of all time? Not just the Beatles though, there are many artists that are famously British, for example: Coldplay, Keane, Kasabian, James Blunt, David Gray, Oasis, David Bowie and Muse. I could go on. How dare you generalise the most influential nation on Earth! PS. Get your own language.

  • @kazjoy40 Thank you for naming more awesome bands. I did that myself, but I left out quite a few.

  • @bosscharley Seriously? I mean... you really think you're standing on high enough ground to call this lame? In fact, you know what, I don't give a damn what you think.

    Are you really so small-minded that you can say that? Because I don't think that's a lot of people with bad taste. I think it's just one person. You. Just look! Look how many people have proved you wrong!

    So really, I suggest you do a little homework before saying the UK has no musical talent. Instead of looking like a fool.

  • @bosscharley nah, not a lot of people with bad taste. you've just got way too much dick up your ass.

  • @bosscharley excellent troll sir

  • I'm so addicted to this song and group.

    Repeat, repeat, repeat, this have to be insane lol

  • I love this band! I just find it a shame that more teenagers like me can't ignore the rubbish that they listen to and find bands like this to listen to. I'm not lying when I say, most only listen to the stuff they do because that's what everyone else does.

  • If this song was established in america it would huge

  • Really great song!

    I just cant understand that people really choose crap like 'Rihanna', '' Gaga'' and that kinda stuff above this. Offcourse everybody may have there own taste, but damn.. there taste suck's.

    It doesnt matter what kind of track those people come up with, its destined to become a number one hit. Eventhough its not that great.

    I think the new generation dont listen to the music anymore, but who make's it.

    Thats the only thing that matters for them.

  • this song peaked at 71 in the uk charts, makes me sick and sad to think what the teens of today are missing out on! this song just proves to me love songs dont have to be mushy and slow, they can have a feel good factor too

  • This band is so amazing, yet ive never seen anyone this good in the top uk 40...EVER!

    Grr.

    <3

  • AMAZING song! im def. hooked how come im just discovering them???

  • Comment removed

  • This is the first time I've ever heard of this band, but they are AMAZING!

  • Great band, great song!

  • I usually describe the best things with one word, I just cant find others to describe this great piece of art: beautiful

  • Such a shame this band is so underrated. Their music is amazing...

  • I think I've fallen in love with his voice... I get this burning feeling (not heartburn) In my ribs when he sings.. and I want to cry... MMMMmmmmmmm awhahah ;A; arghhhhh erggggg so... beautifulll *sob*

  • This song is great. Does anyone know any other good song like this? tell me!

  • Wow... I cannot believe I haven't heard of these guys before. This is amazing. I'll be paying more attention to them from now on!

  • 23 people doesn't have the superhuman touch

  • can i just say that its really annoyin that in the suggestions the saturays randomly pop up no offense cus i dont mind the saturdays but they shouldnt be there next to this great band

  • absolutely amazing band and dont get no recognition its so annoying

  • thee best band in the world!!!!!

  • Athlete came to play in Dallas where I now live as an ex-pat and they couldn't even sell enough tickets to fill the House of Blues (which One Republic packed to the rafters). That's crazy to me, but on the plus side management shifted the venue to the upstairs bar and I had a basically private concert with 30-40 other people. Amazing band, and probably my best concert of 2010. No over-produced shite here.

  • luv Athlete's music.....

  • This part from 2:34 - 2:43 its from movie? if yes pls write wich one!

  • The lead singer reminds me of Gillie off Holyoaks lol. Brilliant song, brilliant band. love this songggggggggg.

  • i can't get enough of this track and this band ;) i keep replaying this song and singing along everytime!

  • Comment removed

  • My friend told me to go see them with him earlier this year at a 300+ venue in the states. I've been hooked since. I love this song. I bought "Black Swan" and "Vehicles & Animals" and love them both.

  • saw them playing this album live last year and they'r playing again Dec at Newcastle O2. Gutted I'm stuck in Brazil.

  • How is it that I only just discovered this song?

  • They came and did a masterclass at my uni on friday and played this track to us. I really like the fresh approach to this track. It sways into 80's themes which I personally find really cool. Keep it up!

  • beautiful song, amazing band! joel is looking very nice in this video ;) although he always looks great hehe :)

    &... hope my neighbors like this song...

  • Great song ." Cant get enough of this electric love" I cant get enough of it !!!!!

  • one of the great British bands.. for me, nothing beats Beyond the Neighborhood

  • The weird thing is, I had never heard of these guys really until this year. I feel ashamed. The utter trash in the charts at the moment.. And I am subjected to all their tripe. And this little gem of a band is kept in the dark. bad times!

  • @Churchy2188 spot on ! exactly how i feel

  • @Churchy2188 Actually good times! The people who don't listen to good music anyways stay away from amazing bands and we can keep them as our own!

  • @Churchy2188 Actually good times! The people who don't listen to good music anyways stay away from amazing bands and we can keep them as our own! :D

  • Athlete are Britains most underated and underplayed indie/pop band over the last 10 years

  • Actually 0ddba11s Terry Wogan used to play this song a lot on his breakfast show :)

  • realy great song!
