  • I adore this song , i hate when people say Keane are crap , i like them as each album is superb and each has a different sound !!!!!!!!

  • Creepy video. Reminds me of David Lynch.

  • I think i've decided this is my favorite song from Keane, but it almost feels like I'm cheating on all the others making this big of a commitment to one. There's too many to choose from.....

    This one is especially POWERFUL!!!

  • Mind blowing...

  • The laddie with the rubber ring she is on eastenders lol she looks cooooooolled....

  • laddie ... she ??? hehe

  • very good song and nice video

  • Best song Keane ever produced

  • Their epic piece. Just like Muse have Knights of Cydonia, and Radiohead have Paranoid Android.

    Each band should have one :)

  • this song gives me eargasms.

  • What is it at 3:56?

  • a dead bird.

  • Me encanta esta cancion es unica, es asombroso lo que puede hacer sentir la musica

  • extraño video

    (weird video)

  • He symbolizes waves imo. It is the waves which choose the direction of the bottle, and the waves make it difficult for the boy to retrieve the ball, so he kick the "waves". The waves killed the woman. It was the "wave", who brought something he though was valuable on land, but turned out to be a dead bird. And when the kids see the "wave" they destroy the sand castle, since it would have been destroyed regardless by the waves. And when the teens are throwing petrol bombs at the waves, he dies

  • This is the most depressive video in the world

  • snow patrol chasings car

  • also one of the most beautiful.

  • Better than ALL other superficial CRAP Shakira, talentless Britney stupid videos, dont the young today have any taste? Its all sex and stupid things...barf

  • vn vid. kinda depressing but good

  • impressive!!

  • The first time i saw this video, it was 2 in the morning, and my lights were out in my room, and the Death guy scared the crap out of me.

  • Great tribute to Ingmar Bergman :)

  • Very good video. Not sure, i think the bearded man symbolises Jesus and Life, and he watches on as the cruelty, senselessness and horrible actions of others causes mayhem, death and destruction. People talk with him because people talk to Jesus all the time. The Grim Reaper at the end obviously symbolises death and therefore it's the struggle of Life and Death on earth for humanity. The end when they walk hand in hand is your choice to embrase either of them.

    Loved it,

  • This song and video are very depressing. I think it's saying that he is lonely and then ends up dying alone. The lovers don't notice him because they are together, the two of them in a relationship, obviously not three. He wants to save the woman and help the man, but he ends up failing. The boy kicks him and the kids destroy their sandcastle so he doesn't see it, scorning him as if he doesn't deserve to be treated fairly. Then he dies alone when the teens kill him him with the petrol bombs.

  • One of the best videoclips ever....

    And the song....makes me sad, but its great!

  • keane is awesome.

  • it was socold when we filmed this

    btw im the little girl who is on it with the little boy jumping on the sand castle when jesus comes if you dont believe me just watch and see me then see me on my vids!

  • толстая тетка с кругом, улыбнуло)))

  • I think the main character represents the sea, because when is near the other character something related with a causaltie occurs.

  • The best Keane's song ever!!!!

    I need a place thats hidden in the deep....

  • I hate the way keane were criticised for being too depressing I love their music.

    This is just an awesome song, and they define a thought provoking genre. Keane are wicked.

  • why is scene with innertube woman profoundly sad to me

  • because she drowns

  • The woman is old. She's probably been made fun of most of her life. No one wants to get to know her because she's ugly. She goes to the beach.. ALONE... so she can get an escape from the torment of everyday life. You can see the sadness in her eyes when she hugs the innertube right before she goes into the water. Her death is tragic, because no one knew her. No one will remember her.

  • i think you nailed it

  • Comment removed

  • i love the mood in this song.. the video. AWESOMENESS!!

  • i'm poopie

  • 3.27 - 5.10 is the best part!

  • Comment removed

  • Funny I love the song up to 3.27 then I stop playing it. It's good we are all so very different in this world...

  • @Sunnbuzz lol...that part just mind blowing ( to me)..btw,we are same because we love this song ^^

  • ?????? xD

  • I've known about Keane forever. I'm glad to see a lot of people are starting to like them too :)

  • Amo esta canción, es hermosa! (:

  • wtf there are ads before the video starts

  • I know! That's what I'm saying!

  • Are you fucking stupid?

    He's a metaphor for the atlantic ocean. Lovers put a bottle in. He feels bad he can't read it and doesn't know if it'll go where it should.

    Kid kicks him in the shins after losing his ball to him: Just as a kid would kick the water in frustration.

    He's a metaphor for the fiercest ocean in the world - as complex and fucked as it is, it's sensitive a sensitive eco-system and is the most polluted ocean on earth.

    A drunk washed up with his life ruined. Rehab material: Apt

  • Someone else gets it! Thank you for existing!

  • Video and song absolutly genius.

    Song is so deep and real. Amazing.

    I spent so much time trying to figure out the meaning of the video. And I think that is exacly the point. They want everyone to come up with their own conclusion. The more you try to figure it out, the more you have respect for the work. Amazing.

  • My personal conclusion about this video. This mans dies and his life flashes upon his eyes .These little encounters (old lady, kid with a ball...) are all the odd and unexplainable life experience we have throughout our lives. They all means something different, or don't mean anything at all. Because that is life.

    Although I do like the idea that he is Jesus.

  • I just read the lyrics and i'm not so sure. It's definitely a polemic against the modern world, Oh I don't know. Maybe were all right? Except the religious freaks. They are definitely wrong.

  • This video is art and open to interpretation. The theme is death. Everyone in this video is dead. The guy at the end is the 'Grim Reaper'. The GR is a death angel taking people's souls from this world to the next. No mention of god or religion. It is, and this is just my interpretation, a song about death. It is also about alcoholism. I refer to the final line in the lyrics - "And now the room is spinning, the day's beginning". What do you think of my interpretation?

  • I totally agree with the alcoholism concept.

  • however...the guy with the ball have a cameroon national football team t-shirt wtf!!??? or i'm totalled smoked?

  • *gasps* its heather from eastenders, that was a shock. i love her she is so brave.

  • I still cannot understand the video O.o but really cool song.

  • He is Jesus; He is in everywhere...

    with the couple and their wishes, with the child and his angry moment, etc.

    but the devil won

    Sorry

  • Perhaps,

    He's just another "lost soul".!?!?

  • ugh i love it but its o confusing!!!

  • God is an excuse to close your eyes and ears to the world ahead of you. God is an excuse to free your mind of obligation to truth and yourself. God is an excuse from accountability.

  • Go back to Film History! 7th Seal Ingmar Bergmen Film.

    From 60s

  • He is looking at his life memory!!..then at the end he walks with death (he dies)...and he brings his life memories along with him....

  • wow....what a deep video

  • OPEN YOUR EYES AND LOOK AROUND YOU!

  • So easy a caveman can do it.

  • this is a really wierd/creepy video

  • the video is amazing........ Makes you wonder where we're going wrong with our choices....

    always great to reassess things........

  • Would you follow a feeling or a theory?

  • hmmm.. both..depending on your situation....

  • I used to watch this video all the time on YouTube back in summer 2006 when it first came out.

  • the end is creepy LOL

  • awesome song and awesome videoclip.

  • wow mate! i love this song, but hands down, not as much as u.

  • for fucks sake that john,n ringo they are masons shit keane u 2 what did they dosell you houses goodbuy music we are fucked they got you to .......noway out

  • best song

  • somos una creación de dios...nos creo y nos dio el poder amar y decidir, nos dejo para q vivamos una vida como el lo planeo a travez de la FÉ y del AMOR lo cual ya lo hemos olvidado nuestra amenaza es la inteligencia, la q puede hacer cosas maravillosas para la vida, como tambien la destrucción de la nuestra... y el punto no es si crees o no en dios... tan solo vasta q vivamos correctamente y estaremos en el paraiso, el cual todos piensan tener,pero lo q no saben es q ya estan en el. solo ..

  • thats a smirnoff vodka bottle that couple uses to send their message

  • hahaha. u been drinking man!

  • God is a being for the denial of truth. An individual wants to use god as an excuse for the denial of truth.

  • So what is the truth that you know to be true, what is God an excuse for ? , in your perception , what is that truth ??

  • God is everything...through His true creations exists everything, that is the honest truth, wich is the truth he wants for us to believe

  • God is a grand delusion as delusional as the ufos. Since area 51 is the secret confide of ufo delusionists then where is god's area 51 for god delusionists?

  • love the song .... though im not sure i understand the video

    but really nice song

  • haha lol @ Heather

  • lol its siavesh and the birds from eastaenders

  • i;m so confused.

    o_o

  • 5/5

    Beautiful.

  • A great song, a great video, what else? One more in my best playlist !!!

  • I think so Kelley.... something to do with bad living i think...

  • jesus returns, sees we are not worth saving and abandons the whole thing

  • I'm not sure I understand...

    Did they all die?

  • their his memorys.. he has to take all his regrets with him to the grave.. he could of helped the boy with the ball.. save the woman from killing herself..ect.. its all symbolicly telling his life and experiences in some way.

  • Beautiful song.

  • great piece of art.

  • FIRST HEARD THIS SONG ON CSI / N.Y.

  • confused much. good song.

  • rethink...the archetypal jesus figure comes back to earth, sees what a mess its become and abandons the job

  • comes back from a near death experience, analyses life, sees how shit it is and how everyone is worthless and flawed, then decides to go with the grim reaper after all....wonderful concept

  • Lol is that a bottle of Smirnoff @ 1:00? XD

  • Made me cry about the fat lady...

  • thats because you are 12 or 13 year old..

  • Yeah I m am 13!And so what??I cant make comments about a song that made me impression??

    Sorry if i am wrong but i think i am not!!

  • Have you ever seen a grown man naked little child?!?!?!

  • Sorry???What do you mean???

    :S

    xD

    :S

  • sick same here... i tought it could be in 28 weeks later, like in the beginning § § sick

  • this is an awesome song

  • Is it just me or does this sound like it could be in the 28 weeks later sequel?

    Go Keane, plus, muse is in that movie, these are two great british bands!!

  • beautiful song..bellissimo brano

  • sobre el video ...no entiendo muy bien ..me podrían explicar????????

  • 2 teorias

    1. el hombre que sale del mar es jesus, que ha vuelto, pero el mundo lo decepciona, y luego se da cuenta que esta muerto. luego sigue a la muerte a el mas haya, a donde todos vamos.

    2. el hombre que sale del mar estuvo cerca de ahogarse, luego ve a su alrededor, la vida lo decepciona y se da cuenta que prefiere seguir a la muerte que seguir viviendo en un mundo asi. sigue a la muerte, y los demas tambien, eventualmente.

    ps. las teorias no son mias, las traduci de unas escritas aqui

  • favorite song.

    so haunting.

    so beautiful.

    Keane<3

  • great song....great clip...what more can you ask?

  • I dont get it lol can someone explain me please

  • whoa

  • I thought the end was creepy.

  • In my iTunes: song played the most times. and I don't regret it. Absolutely love this song.

  • I have to say I was "son, I am dissapoint" with the lightness at the end.

  • YeahH!!!

    esta cancion me da la sensacion del disco OK COMPUTER de radiohead con esas atmosferas apocalipticas, llenas de sintetizadores!!!! y de melancolia!!!!!!

    tal vez se inspiraron en Climbing up the walls para crear esta cancion!!!!!!

    :D

    muy buena!!!

  • This is one of my favorites off Under The Iron Sea, the video is kinda haunting. i love it, tho its kinda sad too

    the 2nd 1/2 of the song is beautiful my favorite

    saludos a todos

  • The best song I have ever heard in all my life. First in the line!

  • My sister refers to this song as the great ethereal experience. ;)

  • Haha.

    That sounds like something I would say.

  • Are you my sister? ;)

  • im not caught up, hahahaa [:

  • Love the song. Hate the vid. Uch.

  • maybe the atlantic is the land of the lost souls, making sense cause of the kids with the cocktail bombs(died by fire), the kid with his ball(got hit by a car(also understanding why he never went and got the ball himself)), the lovers at the beginning, the old man looking for treasure(only finding death), The women who committed suicide, and the children who got abused.

  • wow...I NEVER would have found those meanings. I knew the place was the land of the lost souls..but I never put together all those pieces..thanks :D

  • very interesting comment :)

  • Interesting song... This is what i think about when i think about the atlantic ocean. The pacific, I think about california sun and fun. Atlantic, i think about dreary gray muted colors and cold isolated rocky surfaces. This song is the melodic embodiment of that view.

  • "i love this song is very, very good and keane to, And if I need anything at all

    I need a place that´s hidden in the deep

    Where lonely angels sing you to your sleep

    Though all the world is broken

    I need a place where I can make my bed

    A lover´s lap where I can lay my head

    Cos now the room is spinning

    The day´s beginning

  • This reminds me of a girl!!!!

  • One of the most amazing songs i've ever heard in my life.

  • keane + ingmar bergman + despair

  • AN INTENSE SONG

  • I love Keane's music!

  • love it, its amazing,

    im probably the only person in my school who even knows who this band is, i absolutely love tham

  • The perfect song

  • this song is perfect in every way. its powerful, dreamy, reserved yet aggressive, meaningful...just perfect.

    the first part builds momentum and the second part takes you over the tree-tops and drops you in a meadow.

  • I never thought of it as over the tree tops kind of thing. but you're so right.

    this song is gorgeous. no matter what, i can never dislike this song.

  • listening to atlantic with a ton of bass makes it sound even more amazing, if thats possible.

  • lol well put

  • death has a frighteningly young face. it looks like a doll....so flawless and beautiful. it makes it even creepier than some decaying skull. and they eyes are intense. not threatening, not sunken, just...there. like death. not threatening, not sad and depressed...just there.

  • but..the sense?!?! who is the man???

  • excuse me, i really like this video but i don't found another videos like this, so can you write me the code to incorporate? thank you...write me soon

  • Doesn't the beginning sound a little like beetoven Moonlite Sonata?

  • oh yes!!!

  • This song should be an instrumental

  • I love Keane ;-)

  • FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG WAS ON CSI

  • CSI NY. Yeah. I didn't even know the title of the song, but I spent quite some time googling the lyrics. Such a beautiful song.

  • hey you must be a big fan of keane , it took me some to research it too , great video .........i agree beautiful song , lets be friends

  • Great song, Keane!

  • Probably my favorite Keane song. I love the extended intro and outro.

  • Dark and intense, yet stunningly beautiful. This is Epic Keane for you! :D

  • hope all my days

    Will be lit by your face

    I hope all the years

    Will hold tight our promises

    I don't wanna be old and sleep alone

    An empty house is not a home

    I don't wanna be old and feel afraid

    so powerful
