[anesthesiac]

Such pretty, pretty boys. Mmmmm....

[KyleGooner4]

i listened to this song and this band religiously for months when i was hugely liking this girl. i cried to this album a stupid amount of times, and it's not even in my top 10 favourite albums musically. however, i finally got the courage to ask this girl (when i was drunk, mind you..) and i sang her this song when i did.

i've been going out with her for 10 months now.

[Squashley2332]

I love this song:)

[EpicW1n]

this video is so much better than the professional one.

[artmarty88]

does anyone know why they broke up? Because I read they had lots of problems, I wonder what they were...

[misterbearmagicman]

@artmarty88 it was because the singer todd is a more... one man guy. hes a single.

[artmarty88]

@misterbearmagicman I see... thanks

[artmarty88]

@misterbearmagicman I know!

[EmmaBaker]

@artmarty88 this is todd on my girlfriends youtube account.

we broke up for many reasons but here are a few,

1, we hated each other

2, we didnt sell enough records

3, i wrote all the music and didn't want to make that music anymore

4, will wanted to be a session musician and from what i knew of him be as popular and famous as possible

iamdisco@hotmail.co.uk email me if you want to know anything,

its quite nostalgic for me

todd

[MyHandInTheCookieJar]

that's william? la roux drummer rite? 

[artmarty88]

@MyHandInTheCookieJar I think so

[CandJMovieMakers]

@MyHandInTheCookieJar yupp sure isXD

[patcharisma]

These are cute boys from Nottingham - they sound a lot like "MEW" from Denmark - and they're sounding great! Wonderful! Don't give up in music, carry on in sheer blindness, please!

(Pat, Switzerland)

[whoissara]

yay this was uploaded on my birthday!

[Krualla]

y did the band break up? would they get back together if things were better?

[LozJBell]

I much prefer this version and video of pink squares to the re-release. It's a shame they broke up. One of the times I saw them some douche threw a glass at Tod's face.

[tigertonic]

Great band what a shame that they never made it big as they are better than most of the crap thats played on the radio!

[scottyp256]

So pissed they broke up

[amil123456789]

[David22aa]

[PokefanDP]

They were the first band I ever saw+ I miss them so much,, ]':

This is a class song, it deserves more views than this!

I feel you man. If you need to talk, im here for you bro. :) no homo

[XxSIMXXx]

haha 'bro' ima girl.... but thanks 4 the support :)

[bbswisher92]

no prob. I aim to please :)

[mbleach909]

there is alot of bands that dont sound great and still people like them just look at the jonas brothers and all the kids that like miley cyrus,example-i am a fan of the offspring the lead singer doesnt sing well and i still like the songs

[truthseekr4life]

how much paper did u waste lol

[schase10353]

You and I both know that's a matter of opinion. Unless the music industry has decided to base all record sales on Moket1234's opinion. In that case, I will shut up now.

Nevermind, I'm gonna shut up anyway. This is a dumb argument.

[schase10353]

What? The theme of the music is simplicity. I'm pretty sure they're aiming specifically to not sound skilled but to sound good. I think it's the way it should be.

[danielle76]

i love this song and the lyrics, but i always think the chorus is out of place with the rest of the song being so mellow. anyone else notice this?

[ssflg]

[Zoe28950]

i love this song! its real good music , and i love them too ! shame they broke up though :(

[sarawrnamu]

[cocteaulab]

A STUNNING and perfectly conceived indie / synthpop tune by the English duo, fourth track on "I Want You to Know That There Is Always Hope" (2008 -although this single is from 2006-), together with an original and effective video...

Enjoy!

[Embem1992]

It is a shame they split up.

Their music is amazing.

[eabhawww]

Hope they recycled all that paper :S lol

cant believe they split up =( that sucks

[thestartingline182]

[skatespiral]

[actionvan11]

[astasia81]

[SarahCookp]

been a huge cub scout fan for years,

love this vid.

[MitchTbh]

oops. this message is on my friends account ;s.

wrong account ;/

[MitchTbh]

I know Todd :).

Well i knew him. Don't talk anymore.

He lives in the same place as me (Y)

[scottyp256]

damn it, why did these guys have to break up? the songs that i heard from them are amazing.

[MaiyARG]

good lyrics (Y)

[MaiyARG]

this is awsome :) i seriosly lvoe it

[joshmcbeath]

A truely amazing video

[jumpingjackflash4]

the other video for this song is awful this video is amazing clever n tht

[finto91]

one of my fav songs ever. quality video too! disappointed they spilt especially caus i never saw them live!

[MaiyARG]

shit they split?!

[finto91]

yep fraid so! split a few months ago!

[krassOrizOr]

i dont like these guys but i like this song alot :P

[djsinghal]

Their record label fucked them over somehow which led to further tension so they split.

[nadiapapineau]

its too bad they had to sing... i like the song so much minus their voices

[afrosamuray]

tokio hotel, not indie, not rock, its a pure girly band....with guys...^^

[astrangething]

i saw these gus play their last gig ever in brighton. they have split up know. seemed to be alot of tention between the singer and the drumer. a dramatic ending to the band. does any one know the story as to why they split?

[rev426]

One of the guys from the Aviators plays live with them. Theyre a cool new band as well.

[slotmatteo]

shit

[petrolio74]

It sounds like summer in Scandinavia...just a brilliant, very sophisticated song.

By the way, I was a cub scout as well...

R.

[tjp1994]

Hugh Padgham produced this - the dude behind Phil collins and genesis - so no wonder the drum solo's

[afrosamuray]

guys i'm from germany tokio hotel is completly gay, the lead singer is such a gay "boy", idk what the fuck he is, i think he wears lady panties

[cailynnnnn]

I totally agree, people keep classifying them with good, indie music, but really! What the hell on Earth is that girly man creature? I honestly thought it was a girl the first time i saw "it". Besides, their music is awful. For those who like German bands, what about FOTOS or something?? :)

[danielhardwick]

watched these at bristol last night supporting the wombats, they were awesome!

[MINEofficial]

I was a cub scout / t.A.T.u. / Dune / Tokio Hotel & Linkin Park are the best bands ever ;) for me =)))

[jackiohead]

ICH LIEBEN TOKIO HOTEL hehe im from australia love them i heard about them from my friend in sweden!!love bill

[petrolio74]

Simply brilliant...This song definitely rocks

[shaunmc1979]

i hope these boys go far....very very talented

[DeltaFoxM249]

[MINEofficial]

[smelliskate]

[DarkDave2]

[constantlyhyper94]

[inyrperfecteyes]

Love the song, love the video, love the band. There's nothing else to say but that.

[lehere]

one of my favorite parts... "DRUM SOLO" haha.

[Zetara86]

When did they release this song (which month in 2006) ?

[Becky096]

Do any of you lot have the 'i want you to know there is always hope' CD?

you should get it, its really good.

[lehere]

i do. it's absolutely brilliant.

[mooojaa]

when you love your best.. for 7 years..

[melonmelon23]

they were first on tv with a show from like...last june i think, on channel 4, my big gay prom (days off school when i was ill xD) and no one knew who they were...theyre getting bigger by the moment

[monxffc]

awesome song, its may not need particularly talented musicians to make it but its got a good sound.

[RosesInTheHospital]

I really like this song, but whatever. You can all think what you want

[RosesInTheHospital]

I really like this song, but whatever. You can all think what you want

[DarkDave2]

The lead singer looks like the guy who impregnated Juno...

[lehere]

michael cera.

[xxsianyxxxbabyxx]

he looks nothing like him

[myslead]

agreed, doesn't look anything like him.

[DarkDave2]

What's so bad about that? I think the guy scored =P

[xxsianyxxxbabyxx]

nothing wrong with it!! just saying looks nothing like him

[DarkDave2]

<3 :-* =D

[tempestblack99]

YOUR RIGHT!

[SolitaryPoison]

Alright recorded, but brilliant live! They were amazing at the Joiners Arms last in Southampton. The atmosphere was immense, and the crowd lover them!

[victorynelson]

Pendejos excelente música...se pasaron son increibles...Aplausos....viva Chile Mierda!!!

[crookstaa]

Todd is from a village near Grantham, not saying where, Will is from Newark. These are the only 2 in the band.

[willsoe]

is that a drum solo or is that a piece of crap...

i leave you to decide...

[askAminja]

That was a drum solo and YOU are a piece of Crap

[falcner]

amen

[sexaypartay]

i love it when stupid children try to judge people playing instruments that the child can't play for shit.

[willsoe]

actually i can 'play for shit' I play bass, and if you have ever heard maxwell murder by rancid, i can play the solo in that..

[roxaskh213]

*cough* show off *cough*

props to I Was a Cub Scout, Lights.Action!, A Silent Film, and Tonight is a Goodbye!!!

[factisfictionband]

And?

[gugglyz]

Acctually to be honest it was a pretty crap drum solo and i have played the drums for 5 years.

[tempestblack99]

but it goes with the song, u cant reeli have a big solo in this song can u?

[aliceoconnor]

I LOVE THIS SONG !!! XD

[AzureFlight]

this song owns........i wish i could see the piano they did this on

[yysyisi]

there is

[anghitboo11]

sound a little like playradioplay!

& why is he wearing a rolo tomassi shirt? they suck.

[Westy110679]

Where are these guys from? How many of them are actually in the band? Their website doesn't tell you much about them.

Going to see them in Glasgow tomorrow night though, can't wait :)

[scottishbabe123]

I think that they are from Nottingham. Read that on "The List" website while enquiring about tonight's Glasgow gig. Have a good one. I would like to see them but my boyfriend hates the way the singer sings "apologise", so we are going to see Juno instead. Sometimes, he's a fanny!

[Westy110679]

They were great! You should tell that boyfriend of yours you can see Juno any night (I'm going to see it tomorrow night, was it as good as they say?) Iwacs were brilliant and aren't in Glasgow every night.

[Wesleh]

You're boyfriend is right, woman.

[fuzzyshem]

They are from villages near grantham, todd and will are in the band, todd is the singer will is the drummer. I remember when it was just luke on his own, i know todd from drinking sessions and being thrown out our local for underage drinking wahay!

[fuzzyshem]

er *i remember when it was todd on his own! dunno where luke came from!

[charnaaa]

Luff it, been played a lot on my fave radio show. How did I not know about this song?

[Wesleh]

The singer has the weakest voice I've heard in a long while. When he whines "apologooiiise" I feel like headbutting the effete cunt.

[ohSHiiZZLE]

i went to see "i was a cub scout" tonight fuckingg sick love this songg

[kbm22690]

Bloody amazing.

[nobatery]

[pigginmad10]

love the song really do but still dont understand why its called pink squares can someone enlighten me please?

[Rombur]

At the end of the video here you see them both getting showered by pink paper squares. Not sure if there's a more interpretive meaning to the name but that's the direct correlation.

[waycooldom]

God, I hate pseudointellectuals.

[u01snr]

Ah, A lesson in stating the obvious there. Thanks for that. Your mum must be very proud. Now get down the shop and get your teacher her apple...
