[ohaRega]

[NOWFREEDOMMUSIC]

[postdescarcare]

[decupero]

Bela banção, belo vídeo. Incrível!

[ADornbrach]

Are man !that! mean ;-)

[sunshine3378]

tim smith's voice is so soothing... definitely my favourite band.

[paulosham1]

@octupletdown The mother and her child are the wife and child of the man. Watch the film, it's amazing, the last great silent film.

[heyvaro]

@paulosham1

and what s the name of the movie? i d like to watch it.

[paulosham1]

@heyvaro It's called Sunrise (A Song of Two Humans) from 1927 directed by F.W. Murnau, the last great silent film.

[heyvaro]

@paulosham1 Thank you, I ll try my best to reach the movie.

[MrLightist]

AMAAAAAAAZING !!!!!

[azrai96]

amazing job..i honestly believed that was the real clip made by Midlake themselves...

[winggoddess]

maybe if u put one of those disclaimers in your description, youtube won't take your video down. people mus tput those disclaimers in there for some reason.

[mrcuddles100]

I'm convinced thid song would have fitted nicely in "the road" - it captures the bleakness of the post apocalyptic world and has regret for the terrible acts of men....

[habarvaz]

I just realised this isn't the 'real' video of the song.. well, took me 2 years. great job, man

[Thomasvandenabeele1]

From the old movie 'sunrise' a must see movie

"Great are the sounds of all that live, and all that man can hold"

This cd is amazing. Now, I am a huge Will Oldham fan and I do not say this lightly, but Midlakes "the Courage of Others" has taken a close second place to Bonnie Prince Billy's "I See A Darkness" which is the cd that I think is humanities artistic epitaph.

[OutlandsCommunity]

The film clip. so far away in time from Midlake's song makes a perfect fit.

[4theshadow2]

this video awsome.



[FluidDruid23]

Stunning...

[yrmplg]

First thought: I wish to be among the crowd in my funeral, while this beautiful song, would play, and play, and again

[MisterDucksDayOut]

11 people dislike this song for some reasons I can't claim to know.

[paulosham1]

@MisterDucksDayOut I'm sure they love the song, they probably just hate my video.

[MisterDucksDayOut]

@paulosham1 That would be a pity, the footage is very nice.

[TheyCallMeJake1]

@paulosham1 they probably love your video, just missed the like button, i've missed the like button before

[PoHakk]

@paulosham1 this video matches perfect! i visualize it when i hear the song by itself, i love the first 40 seconds, all one take, very nice.

[ametistiko]

@paulosham1 Kaunista, hieno elokuva! =beautiful, fine movie! (in finnish)

[fastblackshapes]

@MisterDucksDayOut they are just dumbasses, that's all.

[the0edge0master]

[pivotai]

[MandyRascal]

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans....beautiful movie....beautiful video!

[Lisaheartheecho]

I thought this was the official video too, haha! It's brilliant, I love all that old black and white :)

[eleanor61188]

Wow i honestly thought this was the official video ! i'm so impressed !!

[PoisonGirl815]

This gives me chills.

Great job.

[animalcollectivity]

THIS IS SO GOOD! Oh my God. So good.

[vinterfroest]

You're a genius. Pure genius.

[biglmac]

I can't get over how amazing this video is. Seriously, this is like a masterpiece.

[Maddyisnotshort13]

[kesish]

7 people can can kiss my shiny metal ass..

[kesish]

this song is killing me...

[jaysin77]

@Znekeenan

thats funny :) i found this video by finding on & on first.

[redheadparrot]

I have been a midlake fan for years and love this video! The timing is perfect, the concept is great, and the ending is so chilling!

MIDLAKE RULES!!!

[inairda75]

If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter

Oh, let me inside, let me inside, not to wait

Let all that run through the fields through the quiet,

Go on with their, own with their own hidden ways

[qiyamah]

How you managed to match this song with a clip from an 80 year old movie, and how well it works, I have no idea, but good work!

[just888another888ide]

at the 1:40 ...looks SO much like Drew Barrymore..... whoa....

[azrai96]

i have just discovered midlake and im in love! it is so hard to find a band like them anymore..they remind me of the music my mum played on her record player when i was a youngster..it makes me feel warm and fuzzy.thankyou guys for being truely beautiful musicians

[yournamehereable]

man, what was pitchfork thinking?

[MrAirbournefan]

superbe chanson

[theatorp1]

I just discovered this band, and I think it's amacing.

And then, I found out that they had a gig in my city yesterday.

They are American, I'm Danish.

Fml

[gpl1780]

I have just found this band have biught the album and I have to say they are the best band I have discovered in a long time fantastic, the video fits well and I look forward to finding more by them!!

[paulosham1]

@gpl1780 You have to hear The Trials of Van Occupanther, it's my favourite album.

[manygate10]

@paulosham1 I think both albums are as good in different ways. The Courage Of Others grows on you, though, which makes it more intriguing.

[paulosham1]

@manygate10 Let's not forget Bamnan and Slivercork, that has some of my favourites.

[manygate10]

@paulosham1 I'll have to listen to that one, thanks for the reminder.

[manygate10]

@paulosham1 Midlake also produced and provided superb backing to the John Grant album released this year.

[paulosham1]

@manygate10 Yes they did, I mixed a couple of live videos of John singing It's Easier and laid the studio version over it. Trying to sync it up was a pain but I think it turned out ok, it's in my videos, check it out.

[MrJtorg]

Listen to their song ROSCOE if you haven't already.

[MoCuishle68]

Tout simplement SUBLIME

avoir réussi à mettre cette chanson sur l'Aurore de Murnau est une idée fantastique.

[paulosham1]

@MoCuishle68 Merci

[TheOmmadawn]

I discovered Midlake today via Spotify ...

Incredible band and this song has such a presence. Never stop writing music.

[EddieVH666]

My buddy showed me this yesterday and holy fuck it blew me away this kicks ass 5 stars for sure

[tzotzo1990]

je l'aime....... il est tres manifique!!!!!!!!

[rome8180]

Awesome song.  Awesome video.

[zagor200957]

splendida......mi ricorda le atmosfere di "Selling England By The Pound"....

[wagonfactor]

not you, the video. it gives people that dont know that this is an actual midlake video. meant no offence, it fits great and i appreciate the upload

[paulosham1]

@wagonfactor No offence taken, I just make my videos for my own enjoyment. I appreciate your comments. I agree with you about Midlake's videos, He Tried To Escape and Bandits are two of my favourites.

[wagonfactor]

phenomenal song, phenomenal album. and just so you guys know, this isnt the official video for this song. someone just put the song to an old video. which is cool, but it gives people the wrong impression. midlakes videos are always really good and this isnt one of midlakes videos.

[paulosham1]

@wagonfactor What impression am I giving?

[freakmoth]

love this song,is perfect

[xXArminiaBielefeldXx]

♥ this song ! :)

[kufkebelgium]

it is hardly possible to discribbe how beautifull this sounds

[PoHakk]

great cd. its unreal

[endofanerror85]

it's always greener on the other side even in black and white

[philipprokopis]

This is a great song from a great album.

[Madsenband88]

ahhhh I'm in love with these voices^^

[Grisbi6]

I like this song a lot. Strange video, which I believe to be a genuine old silent.

Midlake will be at First Avenue, classic rock club in Minneapolis, on Sept. 20.

[paulosham1]

@Grisbi6 The video is Sunrise by F W Murnau from 1927. I thought it fit the song surprisingly well (although I've had a few comments that said otherwise). I've seen Midlake play twice this year and will see them again in a few months. Great live band

[endofanerror85]

@paulosham1 you are an eplethora(did i spell that rght) of useless information that i was genuinely curious about i am fascinated so much more by forgotten hollywood than hollywood as we know it. do these guys ever come south like to new orleans or do they tour very selectively

[Athleticsoholic]

@paulosham1 i agree they are fantastic live

[amonduultje]

tres beau

[misslanvin]

Beautiful. I didn't know anyone made music like this anymore. Thank you.

[alkrin]

I am in love with this band. Peace.

[ShaggusMcPhallus]

It's a fabulous song and the clip is amazing. The start it is one long, continuous shot that somehow goes from being third person/viewer to first person then back again.

[uufd]

his voice reminds me of Tim Buckley .. great song

[freigespielt]

great song ... sounds like journey's "wind of march"

[xptratr]

nice one

[italllies]

this songs hits me in a spot so deep that it HURTS.

[luciofio]

Murnau's "Sunrise" is the greatest movie ever made...

[Big19Ben77]

Great Song lads and lasses. Please also check "Tideline Unplugged" cheers.

[magnetic35]

great song and video clip

[SomeCalcium]

[dutchknighty]

This songs keeps coming back in my mind. Hope to see them in Groningen in April.

[willstar665]

Great song! Some of their tracks remind me of early Fairport Convention/ Jethro Tull stuff. Very earthy pagan Britain!

[chadmuskatsa]

saw them last night in vancouver. wicked show.

[paulosham1]

Saw them in Dublin a couple of weeks ago, I concur.

[Omatunto]
