  • this`s the best silverchair song

  • I love this song. I would love to see the making of this or a color version (mainly because I love that magazine cover where Daniel is wearing this outfit and omg.. there was never a sexier man. Ever.) But yeah.. Love this. Love them. Miss Daniel.. and this voice. :(

  • I wish Dan still looked like this.

  • this is one sick song.

  • Across the night I fell in love with people sleeping (L)

  • haha, ben and chris always get the small parts :P ... I love this clip one of my favourite

  • Has got to be about my favourite vid

  • Oh you'll never sleep alone, cuz I don't wanna be lonely I just wanna be alone

  • best band in existance

  • WHO LIKES BANANAS?

  • someone explain this video

  • Daniel gives me the creeps. I love it

  • I definitely know what you mean, spaman3. Haha. The best word I have for Daniel is "intense" ;)

  • i love his voice

  • This song shows some of his greatest melodic acrobatics. I also appreciate the shift between general song structure from every album to the next. Wonderful stuff.

  • if i was gay.. daniel would be in trouble

  • hahaha classic...and true

  • oooh i lovee daniel's voice

  • i love silverchairs older stuff. who dosent. but when i first bought the diorama album i was blown away. its an album u can put on and just let play from start to finish. also it was produced by the dude who produced the beach boys album. diorama to me was like silverchair growing up. the orchestra sounds awesome 2.didnt care to much for there latest album tho. enjoy

  • I think people who aren't into this just aren't sensitive enough to grasp or understand it. If you think this doesn't have passion then i don't think you understand what passion is...listen to his vocal melodies, they're insane- not too many people could write a song/album like this. It's timeless stuff and will be remembered a long time after frogstomp is forgotton (i like frogstomp, but it doesnt nearly have the depth this kind of songwriting does)

  • You're awesome!

  • totally true.

  • Interesting video! I found this because I was looking at Guy Pearce's IMDB bio, and saw that he was in this video.

    Just as a film nerdy point of interest...many people have pointed out a similarity between Smashing's Tonight, Tonight video, and this one. Similar eras, yes, but the inspiration is different. Smashing's video is inspired by the Georges Méliès's silent film A Trip to the Moon - which I'm pretty sure that you can watch in its entirety here on YouTube. I believe...

  • ...this video takes a lot of inspiration from Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). Just wanted to throw that out there for anyone that was interested!

  • This actually reminds me a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers' video for "Otherside".  All three vids are beautifully executed.

  • I love sleep to! all i have to do is be able to sleep and its all good.

  • yeah...i can accept that they can change..evolve...but into better musicians.. I can respect that they are not playing the same 5 chords in every song..but all those songs were so full of passion and these...are..well...average elevator music. Silverchair was large and like a soundtrack for my teenage years and I would of just hoped that they would of tapped into..well something more intense..not angry, persay... just real...sorry...this shit just don't grab me,...ya dig?

  • exactly...perfectly stated.

  • Technically these songs are full of the most passion of any of their albums. The songs lyrics are the most personal and the most well written. I'd say Daniel writing about himself rather than things he heard about on the news as a kid is a little more real.

  • you have to accept they have to change. you cant expect daniel to sing those angry songs with his long hair like during the days of frogstomp. he is already 30, not 15.

  • loves DanieL!!!!!!!!

  • When I listen to this song it lightens up my spirit.

  • Whoah

  • magnificent! daniel john's mind is limitless with talent.

  • I've been having a silverchair renaisance (excuse the poor spelling) and I think I like it ;)

  • i'll second that!! me too! and i am enjoying it so..

  • This won an ARIA.

    Nice work (Y)

  • This is always the first video i watch as soon as i log on. This video guarantees a good day no matter what. I love you Daniel!!

  • I am CRAZY about this song.

    It touches my heart.

    ^_^

  • que temazo este

  • I sort of have a hunch when/if they make a new album they will do the old stuff

  • They just came out with one. I love this shit right here and there old stuff. Don't care what any of you can't let go of grunge grunge tough guys think.

  • dont get me wrong, diorama is my favourite of their albums. it was just a hunch... and do you mean yound modern?

  • I'm with you. I love what Silverchair has evolved into. It just shows how talented they truly are.

  • i love this song, but it's hard to see silverchair changing it's style in such a way. anyway, he's a very good songwriter, respect for that

  • i hope silverchair will be together again and make new album! i miss them..

  • Jesus they are together, have you not heard young modern?

  • yeah, but i heard dan made another new band...

  • yeah, but i heard dan made another new band... i just miss the old silverchair :c

  • whats the new band?

  • silverchair are a band that, if you are a true fan, you can grow with. you listen to them doing frogstomp and freak when your an angry teen, then your tastes and acceptance of things matures and you broaden your mind.

    things started to change with neon ballroom, then this song from diorama really cemented the bands diversity, and now we have young modern. its brilliant, and really i u claim to be a fan you should have an open mind to all their material

  • thank you- well said

  • i agree

  • I love older Silverchair (when they were teenagers) Now that they have grown up they've made a decent switch in their musical style. I'm glad the angsty teenagers are gone.

  • But This.... Come'on. I mean I'm 27 yeard old and this sounds like a lullyby. This is not for me and it's not that i don't like softer songs like, Cemetery, or abuse me, or ana's song. This is not anything i thought silverchair would do. change the bandname. it doesn't mix. The element of surprise has surpassed. I hope they get out of there set of pop and join back on the side of metal and rock.

  • If it's not for you than listen to another band. Don't act like they should change back to their old sound to suit your tastes. They were teenagers when they were heavier they an change f they want This is still very 'silvechair" just more refined. It's not THAT drastic

  • I used to think silverchair was a rip off of nirvana. But I went back to listen to there older albums and found out that there not like nirvana at all. Purely Original. The grunge movement at the were looking for anyhing with a raspy sound and raspy voice heavy and catchy enough to fill the void of Kurt Cobain's death. There music had a grunge element. not a nirvana. If it wasn't for Nirvana, Silverchair would of never got therer fame and only there fame, because of the grunge movement.

  • hi guys check out silverchair english garden

  • i love listening to this song when im stressed. it calms me right down.

    such a mad song :)

  • This song is pretty epic. I'm not gonna lie

  • That's exactly the word I was looking for the other day when I wanted to describe this song. An epic song from an epic album :)

  • lovely :)

  • It's:

    I don't wanna be lonely,

    I just wanna be alone.

    Amazing song by the way, easily one of their best:)

  • Captures everything. Daniel in his many faces and artistic ventures. Epic. Magnificent.

  • this era of silverchair reminds me of the irish band jj72

  • i like that these guys wanted to experiment with a new style...i love their old music but this sounds great

  • This is my favorite Silverchair music video ever.. :) It makes me smile everytime.

  • this is one of my fave songs ever.

    truely beautifull and tender songwriting.

    really seems to speak some of the things i could never voice for fear of not being understood.

  • AAHHH this song is so fucking good. It's so HEAVY, isn't it? When it first kicks in with that chunky distorted guitar and the orchestra backing it up. It makes me feel so good!

  • I miss the young blond daniel.

    he was so cute.

  • me 2

  • This song makes me want to go to sleep and dream.

  • fukin awesome. when i first heard this compared to their grunge style i was like ...is this really silverchair?what the freak!..anyway good freaky stuff.i still miss their old grunge style only because their newest album is abit too conformist for me.

  • A fucken kick ass song fucken melodic..genius work! \m/

  • I love this song and this video!

  • this video was kinda wierd ar first, with the make up and all, but it fits

  • ok i am getting really really sick and tired of reading comments on silverchair videos and the only thing i ever read is how much theyve changed and how bad they sound now

    every band changes!!!!! ok theyve matured and developed their sound get over it!!! they r writing music that they want 2 write can't u jsut accept that?

    i luv all of silverchair's albums purely cause of how unique they each r and how much their sound changes and contrasts

  • A timeless melody, timeless production, timeless songwriting. Hats off Mr Johns

  • You know the great thing about Silverchair, they came to the US and they left the US and weren't choked into conforming to the machine that is the US public. I'm glade they were able to travel down a road of artistic evolution, even if I prefer the older music, I'm gald they weren't forced to make "what sells" over here.

  • This Song Ish Very Astounding, Like Wow..Great Job!

  • indie isnt emo and why do some people get so angry about some of their early work sounding like nirvana. they were teenagers.

  • yes, i agree! this is a fantastic song!! i'm in love with it. and i love Daniel with black hair too :)

  • show.....sem comentarios

  • Every album was vert personal to the writer, so if the writer changes, how can the albums themselves not change? Frankly, the new alubms seem to have a greater amount of maturity, which also reflects the fans themselves, those that have seen die-hard fans since Frogstomp should plainly be able to see the progression they have made

  • I am only 16 and i love all albums i think each one tells a story of where he is out mentally and i think i apreicate all of hes work as much as the next silverchair fan, and how are people my age ment to be a fan scince frogstomps if we were 3 at the time no one would get the lyrics until at least 12. Go silverchair they fucking rock (all albums)

  • Cmon man. Please! You are probably like 14 years old. I mean, how can you even remember this music, you were like 3 years old at the time. 'Indie movement', was a far while before mate. Get it right next time young one!

  • Who are you talking about if you don't mind my asking ? There are still quite a bit of us older fans that listened to Silverchair when FrogStomp came about. Does age really matter anyway ? Anyone can become fans at any time.

  • I lovev the Brian Wilson influence, this actually got me more into Silverchair.

  • hahaha...if it started the indie movement..than i wish they had never released it....all these emo bands are fucking gay ....silverchair is awesome...accept for young modern ...but maby thier next album will be better...

  • yes i know, silverchair is a band. not a person. sorry if you notice that error lmao

  • post-frogstomp Silverchair sounds really elegant, with all the violins and all.

    His Australian accent is more apparent on the following albums.

    I also think "Young Modern" is not "completely different". its more of a sequel to Diorama. Theyre albums are like stories. the first two are the angry teen phase compared to the adulthood of the following three.

    It seems grungechair stopped short while Orchestralchair continues. (although YM is still pretty heavy indeed)

  • How can you possibly draw the line "no Beatles no Silverchair"....now lets draw a real line "no Blues no Beatles"....

  • I'm no liking all this Beatles slagging because let's face it without the beatles there'd be no silverchair but anyway more to the point.

    I now appreciate Silverchair more since I've heard off the stuff from diorama, because before (like most people) I just thought of them as a Nirvana rip off but I now respect Daniel for taking a chance with music, people like that are real geniuses, sometimes it takes people a long time to catch up with what artist's like that are doing.

  • from the first album till now, i just love them. well people change, guess i'm not in a punk and grunge era no more but i still love them..

  • The chorus is great.

  • lol fuck the beatles... you get stoned on acid once make a video and everyone else is a pretender or a copycat... fuck that...

    the only good beatles music is the few hilarious ed sulivan songs they made..other than that *puke puke* daniel's vocal range + his ability to grind his voice makes him more tallented than most...

    LOL beatles, *puke*

  • mmm i love the chop and change in this song

  • I think Daniel looks great with this hair! Great song!

    But yes I do prefer their older stuff. Diorama was not my favorite of their cds but I do like it. Now Young Modern on the other hand I really dislike x0

  • well of course its there best shit all there old skool stuff its awsome its there new stuff that i shake my head at its shit!!

  • everyone chucks in the beatles wannabe criticism on everyone these days! its too easy. I personally cant see the beatles in any of this, not even Sgt Pepper. Daniel just wanted to experiment with sharps and flats, and its what the whole Diorama album is about. I think its beautiful.

  • I don't wanna be lonely, I just wanna be alone!

    So beatiful!

  • isn't it "I just wanna be loved"?

  • It's possible... but I think it's "I just wanna be alone"

    ... well... now im unsure

  • "i jus wanna b alone"

    "dnt wanna b lonlyy"

    makes cents..

  • terrible attempt at the lyrics

    nothing makes cents because its sense

  • idiots cant make SENCE of words

  • """idiots cant make SENCE of words"""

    I suggest that before you start accusing people of being idiots, you check your own spelling. that2007 is right, it is SENSE.

  • Diorama is technically, melodically and idea-wise the best I've heard so far of this band. It is certainly more than a collection of songs, it is a journey, an escape into a place more beautiful than the world we live in. It is more epic, gorgeously produced and beautifully instrumentated: Diorama is simply excellent.

  • Dude! That sounded like a professional review haha. You're good at that. And 100% right too, Diorama took early silverchair fans, turned them around and made them think about music in an entirely new way.

  • This is the best music video ever. I think I like it even better than thriller.

  • good to wake up for this song:)

  • of course diaroma n all their old stuff rocks my socks!! it is gorgeous, and beautiful

  • qué genial está este tema, especialmente a partir de 3:19, no me canso de escucharlo!

  • Estoy de acuerdo en que Diorama es el mejor discon tanto lírica como musicalmente pero el disco que sentó las bases del sonido de Silverchair fue Neon Ballroom.

  • Wow there sure are a lot of people who aren't familiar with Diorama! That's Silverchair's best album, musically and lyrically.

  • Everyone changes with life, take a look at a picture of yourself 10 years from now :)

  • Wow there sure are a lot of people who aren't familiar with Diorama! That's Silverchair's best album, musically and lyrically.

  • !!!! wow he changed so much... what happened to the long blonde hair gorgeous blue eyes?

  • He Looks so good in this film clip and i think its the only time he has ever had dark hair (not that he doesn't always look good)

    he is the man

  • silverchair! lo mejor

  • enhance silver chair

  • Pretty sure it was 2002

  • my fave!! lol

    he looks so cute in this vid!

    wish it were in color.

    =]]

  • what year was this stuff?

  • I pretty sure this songs off Diorama which was released in Australia in 2002.

  • my fave!! lol

    he looks so cute in this vid!

    wish it were in color.

    =]]

  • fascinating. and also kind of cute.

  • The thing I love about this song, is its beautiful melody. <3

  • ok, im curious...

    is there any symphonic/concert band playing this song?

    who knows if there is, so i can play it...hmm

    maybe including "luv your life"

    a musical & magical hit for a concert

  • por cierto...

    awesome, and beautiful!

  • HEY!

    one question...

    how can I put pictures in my fund channel?...

  • they should re-release diorama in the usa cuz the greatest view is finally getting a lot of airplay there!

  • Who cares what technical genre the music fits in, as long as it's good, quality music. Nobody can deny that this is good stuff. The voice, the orchestra (especially the trumpet work) it's all fantastic. And it's a great song.

  • Silverchair é uma das melhores bandas que ja existiu!!!

  • I think people that judge an album purely by how heavy it is are complete morons.

    And although Silverchair's old stuff is great, Diorama is by far their best album to date. They'll never top it. It doesn't matter if people dont like it as much as the older stuff, at least they tried to be different. Doing another neon ballroom or freakshow wouldve been predictable and boring

  • Thank you collectfew....thats all i was trying to say, some people cant handle opinions that vary from their own.....oh and by the way layne my friend....just because you are the most active with emotion while in your teenage years doesnt mean you have the capability to process and express those emotions. Most teens confuse major emotion, fear for anger, sadness for joy and so on...........put down the pipe, pick up a book...

  • I like their new stuff more than their old stuff. Brilliant artists this bunch. Listened before their first album ever hit American radios.

  • DO CARALHO

  • Love this song, love the video and I love Diorama! Most amazing album I've ever heard.

  • americans are ignorant. they think they were the main country of the war and that they have the great weapons. russia would pwn you asses into the fucking ground. Americans will burn and die in the industrial slop that they knowingly and willingly spill into the earth, fuck america, fuck them up their stupid asses. the only thing i beleive about the 911 conspiracies is that america is the only country that is fucked up enough to do something so fucking stupid, all americans will die, fuck you.

  • WTF???????

    I don't understand the connection between this video and your comment.

    Must be because I'm just a dumbfuck American who didn't even vote for George Bush.

  • wow relax! if you look at schools, media and politics over there it's just really hard for people living there. I guess there are just as many idiots as everywhere else, it's just easier to be informed and educated when you live in a smaller country where you can overlook political issues and rely on a working social system.

  • their all dumbfucks, i fucking spit on that shit piece of land. americans are so fucking dumb that their patriotism is based on americans fighting eachother, how fucking stupid is that? fucking dumbasses, america sucks balls, a jihad on all americans, they are all little bitchess that love to suck cock. so, in conclusion, america cannot be trusted, russia is comming to get ya, bitches love, SID

    ps fuck america, Charles Manson is the only dignified american.

  • diorama sold 500,000 copies in australia, and barely any in america, why is this so?. Because americans are ignorant assholes who cant apreciate intellegent music, because they are barley intellegent, they are just a bunch of ignorant little fucks that deserve to be shot. america is a shithole of a country that is taking this world with it. so called " war crimes", how many inoccent people were killed in Hiroshima. george bush is dumb, and the american people were fucked up to ellect him twice

  • They didn't have any time to promote the album, with Daniel Johns suffering from reactive arthritis. I doubt it has anything to do with ignorance and war.

  • Grammar is on a slippery slope, thanks to idiots like yourself.

  • Layne, how old are you?

    You made a comment about 13 year olds...

    I completely disregarded every word you wrote, after you used the word "cuz".

  • is that dude guy pearce?

  • i agree, it was all down hill from here, too bad, i really loved these guys too. Paul Mac needs to get shot, that's what needs to happen.

  • you are an idiot.

  • an idiot indeed.

  • hey bro, to each is own. If you are down with the new lollipop rainbow silverchair, that means you're a fag, doesn't mean i'm an idiot.

  • that doesn't make anyone a fag. It makes you a complete idiot to call someone dude and fag when you know not someone. We all know what assuming does....they are still amazing btw

  • precisely

  • Daniel Johns at his yummiest~~ it was all downhill from here

  • I totally love the last part

    oh you'll never sleep at all

  • Love the Silent( i mean the sets/ movements)/ Film Noir they used for the video..

    Love The Band, Can't wait to see what comes after Young Modern..

  • i love the orchestral part too. :D

  • some of the best

  • not a bad song......love how they have an orchestral sound incorporated in it. Im a huge silverchair fan and love how they're branching out into different genres today. Daniel is amazing and talented in every song he's written. Old Silverchair in my opinion is better just cuz I'm a fan of harder music but I do have a soft side and this totally hits the spot. Good job guys, keep on rockin'!!!!!!!!

  • I prefer Older Silverchair to the newer, but I still like it all..

    Love the vocals and orchestral element sin this song..

  • people so ignorant asking about all this grunge stuff if you truly were a fan of silverchair you'd appreciate them. That's the trouble with society everyone is monogamous and aren't open to new ideas and phases.

  • EXACTLY!!

    at first i wa sunsre about Young Modern, but it grew on me..

  • @ brohedia
