  • Fuck all you hippie trash motherfuckers

  • Sending my special regards to USA and all of their pals around globe with this song!

    

  • @aggravator100 so you think if the USA and their pals vanished overnight , there wouldnt be war, conflict and horror in the world?

  • Great song

    War Suckssssssssssssssssssssss

    

  • Great song

  • Very good song with nice beat

  • did anyone else notice that when the guy threw the disc you saw his junk move in slow motion?

  • @Sprixi No only you noticed slow-mo man junk

  • wwwprepaidlegalcom/hub/garyard­

  • Let me see if I get the point of this video . . . The normal lives of people of people on the beach, at home etc are only possible because the unseen sacrifices of the military in the background? Without technology and the will to fight, Western liberal democracy which makes the Internet, Youtube, and even this crappy song possible would be crushed and destroyed by various forms of totalitarianism?

  • @XKS99 I don't think that is the point at all. I think the song is simply about the beauty and the complexity of the world. It is about the contrast between the simple beauty of a child on the beach and the horror of war. If anything, I think the song challenges the rationality behind 'the will to fight' and the notion of 'progress' and its relationship to destruction. Perhaps that is why you refer to it as 'this crappy song' - because you have misinterpreted its meaning.

  • @kearrin

    Of course that's not the point. This video contrasts decontextualized images of peace and war in order to evoke feelings of revulsion in the viewer. It's a piece of yellow propaganda for the leftist cause of their cherished heaven-on-earth. The left loves to isolate and simplify concepts in ways that suit them, which they call "unpacking" or "deconstructing" or somesuch other academic cant. It's in a way ironic that if they had their way, they would be the first ones against the wall.

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • i love youuuu !!!!! This song is sssooooooooo reallll !!!! What a world,what a sadness :((

  • Great viewpoint about the US! end the wars!

  • all this video has done is cut out some geographical distance... to everyone who buries their heads in the sand... i hope you don't have children to answer to because things are gonna get alot worse... this is one of the most beautifully executed videos i've seen; like MJ's Earth Song but a bit easier to stomach...

  • @TheAmethystSkies well said

  • extra

  • fuk debate channels and talk you people wear grey woolen socks yet would complain about animal rights being violated-

    1) go to your atm

    2) take your cash to the (insert fast food chain here ) or if you arent lazy start cooking

    3) hand out the food to your neighborhood who needs it

    do and do not talk shit

  • if he wants people to listen to the lyrics, he should try speaking louder than the music.

  • @winggoddess if you have decent hearing you can listen to both

  • @vortical911 no, you can only listen to both if you crank up the volume to the point of going deaf. i'll keep my decent hearing, thanks.

  • Just saw their last show at Brixton, shame they are finishing but they went out in style. The singer on this with Maxi, named Harry, has an incredible voice.

    He sand 4 sonfs on the show and his range is fantastic.

    Listening to Maxi talk to us at the show with his thoughts, showed what a good human he is.

    I am privaledged to have been there and glad as hell that I was.

  • Bombs over Libya

    

  • Love this track.

    

  • very GOOD tune!

    

  • Најежим се сваки пут када чујем песму а када видим спот засузе ми очи...

  • forever Faithless !

  • cry for 52 dislikes

  • @continuessa

    I support you, but what exactly do you expect to achieve? The world in a hand of a human is long gone, now it's the corporations who control it. Zeitgeist or no, not enough people are aware that we're on a rollercoaster to oblivion and there are no brakes

  • so much more than just "the song"

  • Faithless is not just any artist. It is easy to see and sense the social conscience and the intensity. Keep it up!

  • when will we learn to change

  • 52 tossers make or plant bombs for a living >.>

  • "Science flew people to the moon. Religion flew people into buildings"

  • faithless is amazing. more people need to see this song/group. i'm going to post it as my facebook status :)

  • this song one of me faves and faithless rule and rule live even more every record record they make rule end of

  • I still remember the first time I heard Insomnia pure magic. I've never looked back and only have turn on the music and Faithless proves what pure inspiration means.

  • You've gotta say, he makes brilliant videos.

  • Generally, even just 40 years ago, a mixed race marriage/union was frowned upon! When did Concorde fly and the Yanks land on the Moon? We've done exceptionally well to dismiss racism, the revolution in electronic design and techniques is just astounding! I think Faithless harbors these beliefs? Their videos and music are still inspiring. Graham

  • Great song, like the video..... but a little to heavy showing only American military as the bad guy. What about the Taliban, or Iranian death squads, or Bosnia or the Congo army, or the Tamil Tigers, the Farc in Columbia, Pakinstan/Kasmir..... the list goes on, and on and on...

  • Comment removed

  • Would you like this song if you heard it without seeing the video?

  • @Ljubom1r to right i sing it all the time

  • dude when the family run up the beach, the womans on the left then it zooms out and shes on the right

  • @balamorylol great spot! continuity error, sue them lol

  • Great anti war video. This man is such a genius.

  • Appreciate the beauty...savour every millisecond.....Leave the rest!

  • great song and brilliant vid. Sad it is banned in some places tho because of the message it holds. killing each other is the only thing man has truly been good at unfortunatly, truth herts. governments become concerned about stuff like this because it shows how war effects people close to home.

  • Amazing video, shame it's out of sync

  • #tt anywhere but where there is a war on!

  • @XELURST As for my name, it's in reference to the song 'Firestarter' by The Prodigy. I have it because I like the song. Did you assume I was some backwoods war mongerer or something because of my name alone? In fact I'm the complete opposite. I've lost friends and relatives to war, murder, poverty, addiction, and a ton of other problems that you claim my name associates me with. If anything, fucks like me are the victims of the problems in the world, not the cause.

  • @XELURST Well, I think you misinterpreted what I was trying to say. As an American myself, I was slightly offended by how you said we can't handle the truth. What I was trying to tell you is that this song is only banned in Europe, and that this is a Faithless video you are watching, not a political debate. Obviously you're entitled to your opinion, it's just that I was upset with how you automatically assumed that American MTV banned this and didn't care to see if you were right.

  • @XELURST Actually this is only banned on MTV Europe as far as I know. It was never banned on MTV in the USA. Keep the politics to yourself as well. This is Faithless you're listening to, not George Bush.

  • @TahwistedFiahstatah where is your evidence this video wasn't banned on American MTV?

  • @zezt There is only evidence that it is banned on some European MTV stations. Even if it isn't banned on MTV in the USA, you'd still probably never see it here. MTV barely plays any music at all in the US it seems, and even if they played more music than they currently do, I doubt Faithless songs would be put into rotation.

  • @zezt

    this was cenosored, it wasn't banned ;)

  • @Pilot171990 whats the difference? You mean they cut bits out? Which bits?

  • @zezt

    I don't know, I just heard that, I think that a scenes with a battles, atomic bombs and maybe also graveyard are deleted and for an example the scene with a classrom where sudenly has happend invasion into classroom in which are frightened children is deleted for sure.

    but I haven't seen this censored video with my own eyes, so I can't say anything for sure.

    p.s. sorry for my bad english !

  • respect from Serbia :D

  • If MTV blocked this music video does that mean the USA also uses propaganda like North Korea????

  • @wending well duh

  • @wending Every country uses propaganda. Also, as I said to someone below, this is only banned on MTV Europe. So if anything you should be blaming MTV Europe of using propaganda by banning this, not the United States.

  • It saddens me how old maxi jazz is getting but still proves to be one of the best acts out there, nothing like the crap they are letting release singles these days tbh <3 faithless

  • just when i thought MTV couldn't possibly go any lower..

  • so much heven SOOO MUCH HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jonas brothers called there movie camp rock, more like camp COCK

  • #musicmonday they banned this version of the video in the US - surely a classic!

  • OMG!!the lead singer is Anderson Silva.

  • where I can find the original video of 1:51

  • Work of art

  • yep, this is how it is... its a shame really... this video has great message 

  • "Bombs" generated moderate controversy with its music video, as demonstrated by MTV's refusal to air it [1]. The music video featured interchanged clips of war scenes and daily life; symbolizing the presence of war all around us

  • @ videohead

    have you ever set foot outside your bedroom ??? get a life and stop typing up loads of bollocks, good song shame about the youtube warriors.

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Trueth . The Paradox. The Whole Our World in THIS clip. Viva, Faithless - the mirror of our reality. Sadly, it will never gain the music channels like "sold" MTV....

  • does anyone have this song they can send to me via email? if do much apreciated if you could :)

  • Interesting posts,seeing people lost in their own torture by "religion" will try to lead other awake people into an endless maze of what's right and wrong. Misery loves company.This video depicts reality, profound in words and imagery.The Media=making money by any means,we do not matter to them.MTV wouldn't play this,they don't want to throw away their entertainment formula that makes money This video= being awake.People will wake in their own time but until then all i can do is watch the lunacy

  • @Videohead19 agreed except for the last part. The media and corporation at their present state are an infection that is killing the population. Like an infection simply ignoring it is inevitably giving it the right circumstance to grow and take over the rest of the "body". So in order for society's present state to change we require action.

  • @continuesa Understood, I was saying that because people who try to take action and promote change end up sometimes being taken out for example Martin Luther King, Kennedy, Ghandi and many others. We can't just storm the fort, change happens through actions that can stand the tests of time. Sometimes it feels there is only so much you can do if the majority of people are lost. Change is a possibility we just have to really want it and not just say we do :)

  • Interesting posts, seeing how people lost in their own torture by "religion" will try to lead other awake people into an endless maze of what's right and wrong.Misery loves company. This video depicts reality, profound in its words and imagery.The Media= making money by any means necessary. Of coarse MTV wouldn't play this, they don't want to move away from their entertainment formula.This video = being awake. People will wake in their own time but until then all i can do is watch the lunacy.

  • Psy Trance fool power

    Go To

    trance 2009 XTC.avi "orpheus"

    Enjoy

  • video literally 'draws' lyrics... perfect!

  • totally agree with you

  • this song hurts, so sad but true we live in a world of security with so much pain around us, very moving

  • Very amazing idea to the whole world to see what is going on around them and enough of wars already. This is a perfect idea even if it contains dark lyrics , but words are better to use that actions to make us aware of what is going on around the world .

  • OMOK !!!

  • ... Shut up.

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHlol

  • the Philosophy that was behind the Music , would not have House and techno , People like Adam Freeland made a Tune we want your Soul , Theres only a few i see who understand now People Rapping about a materialist security and forgetting What Made the early Jungle/Drum & Bass , Hip Hop ect all started on the Dub revolution Congo Natty Is Serious About Jungle Music

  • Bassist Robbie Shakespeare is in this Documentary "Dub Echoes" love it when he say's you hear that Dub Bass and it sound's like you want to Destroy Babylon , in Fathless tune BOMB's he says: To Some just another Fun Day in Baylon , Congo Natty had used samples of George Bush Talking of New World Order and talked of Baylon, a Jungle tune in the 90's had a voice saying Baylon will fall it stuck in my Head ever since , it's a Philosophy shame many in music today don't understand

  • @RobinBreeds1 I agree 100%, just it's not that they don't understand it's that they don't care because they make more money off idiots the way they do it. People seem to forget that we are nothing more than a resource to the man. We need to open the eyes of this generation to disgusting reality of what goes on behind the closed doors of the corporations. Our society thinks they hunger for materials and gadgetry but we really hunger for enlightenment and truth.

  • @continuesa so make it happen dont be like the rest of us and just brag about it show us put money where your mouth is ahahahaha i thought so no response

  • @wireashly if you're willing to help then I'm down. This is a task for more than one person. So here's my proposal if I get 25 thumbs up to this comment I'll open a philisophical debate channel open to anyone with something to say. It will be a step to change, so what do you say?

  • Major message there !!.....with respect!

  • TOP SHIT

    I agree his lyrics have much strong political awarness.

    newbie  ALLFLAWS is political too but a lot more dark and cryptic than FAITHLESS.

    Both great acts x

  • We think we're heroes, we think we're kings

    We plan all kinds of fabulous things

    .

    .

    We're just children, we're just dust

    We are small and we are lost

    And we're nothing, nothing at all

  • Comment removed

  • cant stop conflict. its what we are at heart

  • @ilovepancakeswithjam the beauty of being essentiate beings is the ability of self awareness. This self awareness allows us to govern our own decision and categorize them as "good' or "bad". Without this, war would simply be a way of life. Our greed and ignorance is what brings conflict. It is not what we are at heart but what we have become because of our ignorance of others. It is much simpler to argue that one man is wrong, and to eradicate his thoughts, instead of listening and compromising.

  • true. evelution and survival made us this this way. but we are at a time where this can start changing for the better

  • Briliant!

  • This is one of my favs. Strong political message.

    Newbe act Allflaws is very much like Maxi Jazz.

    rare poets

  • daaa ! pronizivaet dushu...

  • sad init how the world is turning out...its a shame

  • Comment removed

  • deep...

  • strong man strong

  • This is one of "the best" song I've heard in life..

  • we're just children, we're just dust

    we are small, and we are lost

    I love that verse

  • love it

  • The song of the world

  • Brilliant video and a brilliant tune.

  • THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME and it wasnt made for money making red nose day or any of that crap

  • So true!

  • this is ace.

    maxi, tricky and AllFlaws are all top vocalists

  • lol wow, all these people bitching about "the government" as if they actually know anything they're talking about... also @eve dude there was no stereotyping, it looked awfully generic soldier to me, seeing as how there were no say, flags on the shoulders or anything else to identify as US but definitely a great song and video

  • dude are you serious hes talkin bout the american soldier athough the soldiers are britsih the rocket and atlete have usa down the front of them.... he is mainly talkin bout the war in Iraq.... 1 which amreica and britain should never hqave got involved in

  • This video is so fucking inspirational.

  • Thing you don't understand is this: the local militia do what they do in *Imitation* of the USA and other major world governments. We the People are to blame for all the sorrow in the world today.

  • With great power comes great responsibility.

  • Nope do you...?

  • if it werent for the rerun of the world music awards 2006 i would have never known about this beautiful song. Fucking mtv playing jonas brothers

  • same here! i was watching it to see MJ and then they were playing this song and i was like omg!

  • me 2! haha that was an epic MJ moment i cant belive they had Elisa there though..

  • there playing there songs???!!! WTF??

  • the scene at 1- 52 semms a lot like an overused piece of war footage. i've been actually looking for the original piece since i've always seen that little clip everywhere. can anyone help?

  • MTV Refused to play this video

    wonder why

  • mtv is a fucking sell out they play jonas brothers and other gay ass shit un like this work of art they shouldn't have the right to play this

  • @roundpeach420 mtv is not a sellout. it is where people go to sell out.

  • Comment removed

  • I use to listen to this in the desert a lot. But this is the first time i seen the vid. great song, great meaning.

  • the desert? wtf?

  • That man is an alien..

  • haha

  • is he stopped?

  • yeah i was wondering about it as well, its just a fact. but i guess people dont wanna see that!

  • this video is POWERFUL.

  • 3:35: Reverse IED

  • but more serious, i think the message of the vid is that we all know that we need destruction, suppression and poverty in one side of the world, to ensure our wealth and freedom.

  • uhm

  • i duno why you're giving him thumbs down he is right freedom isnt free where theres welth there poverty and befor peace theres war a simple fact.

  • theres no such thing as freedom it's all just words they tell you to make you feel better the goverment does NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU

  • At 3:04 , the fat white kid uses the black ppl as a shield. She is such a slave driver! ;-)

  • the kid is smirking too

  • i have seen this video 5 times after each other and it makes me almost crying so beautiful it is.

    I love this so much

  • Amazing compositing.

  • god or no god, love or hate? no food, no shelter? I think what we need is more modesty, whoever thinks they have the answer on either side of the arguement is always wrong. i believe but I dont expect anyone else to. its the expectations and assumptions and forcing your opinion on others that causes the trouble. big news is. its not necessary. being smart is knowing you might be wrong.

  • im sorry bout my last comments

    A: i was entoxicated

    B: i was angry lol

    but i compleatly belive in god

    and i compleatly hate the fucker

  • Clearly you have many problems.

    Intoxication, anger, superstitions, and hatred will be the death of us all. And you demonstrated your affinity for all four in one shot.

  • I don't think Vin Diesel wants you to quote him.

  • Collin- you are completely correct- (although I am not sure what it has to do with the video??)- Modesty is the easiest way for all of us to get along- its a shame we can't meet in the middle and accept differences between us-

  • amazing song and very good video

    this world is sick :D

  • Enjoy the Music! Thrill!

  • huh. i was drunk and enjoying this song. i scrolled down and i saw actually this page is a discussion room for pro-Homosexuality and anti-Homosexuality! GUYS PLEAZ ....

  • Well what did you expect, it is youtube after all(nonesense discussions most of the time)

  • Interesting video. It's quite similar to the Manic Street preacher video for "So why so sad?"

  • I don't understand the comments on this page. I think this video is about the fact that we watch the evening news too detachedly? What's that got to do with religion?

  • me too man :D

  • I Love Music ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫

  • lol at the stupid comment's on this page really some people are sad and have no life

  • Comment removed

  • great song by the way!

  • Your comments from 2 weeks ago? You said Homosexuality was a 'disease' caused by lack of religion. What do you think that would sound like to a homosexual? Or anyone who was pro-'gay rights?' That would associate you with 'gay bashing.'

    Obviously that is assuming and infering alot, but your comments have been quite...uh, tasteless at times. You should try to be more careful with what you say and act a little bit more like Jesus in the way of compassion.

    Maybe everyone should chill a little.
