  • Hang on - 12 hours for £100? That's, like, £8.33 an hour. I guess it's more than you could earn in McDonalds, but, you know, if it means you can't defend you friend getting bottled is it really worth it...?

  • i like travis but if i was 1 of the boyz at the end i'd give fran a kick just because i could

  • Wow....

  • Scottish music at its best

  • @dagnew01100 let's face it there isnt much HAHAHA

  • Epic!!!!!!!!!

  • Can I ask you a question? Fuck off Bitch!!!!

  • That girl is the key to motivate Fran give the best in his push-ups.kkkk or Fran just need money, winning the bet?? who knows???

  • Love this band may use this song for my Xfactor audition next year :)

  • SCOTLAND AND SERBIA. BROTHERS

  • I'm pretty sure that in Scotland, most people can do push-ups for 12 days, let alone 12 hours.

  • that girl's tasty fucking hell i'd lick her legs all day long mmmmmmmmmm yum

  • 5:06 even more

  • 4:56 looks like chris martin

  • i can't understand a word))) I mean at the very beginning

  • Wow, i grew up listening to Travis, and untill now, i had forgotten about them! OMG i love listening to old songs! brilliant band!

  • @ashleigh738 lol at you, I'm 47 and "old songs" are from the days of my youth! in the 70's & 80's !

  • @216Che i'm 19, i'm talking about the songs i, yes ME that i grew up listening to. So i was talking about MY youth but thanks for your input :)

  • Travis...I love them.

  • Runaway Train

  • Proudly Scottish :)

  • Amazing, goosebumps :)

  • great tune, loved it when it first came out and just heard on radio, anyone remember a band at same time where video was of missing children?

  • In a way this video shouldnt work..but some how it does,like when the girl bends over and speaks to him on the floor its just a magic moment i just cant explain it!!..but i enjoyed it all!!!

  • I like the lady in the video,she nice and sweet.

  • brilliant video

  • BEST ALBUM EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hrm i am a lonely girl from the uk

  • THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER.

  • I NEED to know who this girl is- i think i am in love. :-O

  • Can I ask you a question? ... Yes ...What - are you doing? ♥

  • @doublebasskoenig

    I just love this part. Her voice, her smile, her ... everything ♥

  • excuse me,Fran said he is doing a "bent?right?

  • 115 people have never done a press up :)

  • Brings back bad memories for me personally, but a great song, no doubt. If you can't understand the Glaswegian accent then that's completely normal, and I say that as a Glaswegian myself.

  • 2,211,522 press ups

  • deep meaning to this song and video (the more you turn you'll end up in the same location you were before also sometimes even though you have the strenghth to help someone based on the certain situation your powerless to help them when it really matters)

  • why travis's all songs is awesome? thumbs up

  • ...super

  • AWESOME MUSIC VIDEO

  • Great Post Dear

  • Comment removed

  • fuck this talking shit on videos

  • SCOTLAND!!!!!!!!!!

  • lmao could have earnt £100 in less time than hes doin press ups haha

  • lol

    

  • ya bawbagggggg

  • and i meant the brazil gals noty the milk bottle white jocks. n why would a burd like that return when she has a quality wealthy TANNED bf back home lol. tis just a job get a life!!!!!!

  • does she un-do his pants, or take money from him? because he says he needs a bed pan, which I guess means he needs the toilet, so did she get it out for him to have a pee or take money for the drink?

  • ahhhhhhhhhh I get so giddy when i hear the scottish accent.

  • travis is lo maximo the best me ayuda a volver gracias travis .

  • Great song, but can someone please explain the ending to me

  • @chazzle10 I thing is about the bet at the beginning fran says mind over matter, but in the end when he try to help that guy he coudn't do it because he was too tired, in other words he lose the bet

  • @chazzle10 I think the idea behind the video (at least it is to me) is putting your time, energy and actions into good use. He bet the guys that he could do push ups for 12 hours and mentioned in the beginning that it's "mind over matter".

    He's able to do it but what's really the point? It's basically vanity and something to brag about.

    In the end someone needs his help and he's unable to do anything because he spent all of his time and energy on himself.

  • @nathanburr Lol... wow... your mind works oddly. So u should stay focused and full of energy all the time incase someone else needs you to go out of your way and inconvenience yourself assist them in dodging people who they've obviously offended or done something to. so you can ''save'' them . LOL . Did u listen to the words at all? I think the video's depicting that he's very strong minded, but although may see that as hard headed... in the end he's got a good heart

  • @nathanburr amazing analysis  !!!

  • @nathanburr I agree, but I always thought that there must of been a better way to put that message across. If he had never never made that bet, he wouldn't have even been there to see the guy getting attacked, no matter what happened the guy who needed the help wouldn't get any

  • : )

  • i remember when this song came out---loved it. in my opinion, they are way better than coldplay and deserve to have their spot.

  • i love travis n this song is quality, but i jus dont understand the video, especially the ending

  • mt boa travis ♥

  • Can someone please tell us what they say at the beginiing, we just get some words , that strange accent is very hard to understand to a Spanish girl an a Mexican : D I Just understand like 50 % .-. please please pleasee dear scottish people.! write it for us.!! thanks and sorry for the bad english

  • @2dollarkevin i'm irish, not scottish but.. "it's mind over matter" "i would doubt it strongly" "don't doubt my chi" "i bet you 20 quid" "it's not a matter of money" "50" "it's your personal business but..." *steps in puddle* "see if i had of been not listening to you and listening to my chi that wouldn't have happened" "when push comes to shove, £100, you've got to prove your chi" "bringing money into the matter. i've never been a man to turn down a bet"

  • "no way. is that a deal? 100 quid? it's yours for the taking, or is it" "deal.. are you sure?" "aye!" "there's no way he's gonna make it to 12"

    PHEW! Hope this helped!

  • @2dollarkevin im from mexico too and here almost all english classes are in american english so sometimes is hard to get used to thet kind of accent

    pero porque te lo escribi en ingles XD

  • @yax5 jajajaja lo mismo pense.. qe pedo es de méxico o no? jajajaja y pues si, para empezar mi maestra ni pronunciar sabe..

  • @2dollarkevin mmmta afortunadamente casi todas mis maestras si pronucian bien y mis otros maestros que serian las bandas en ingles tambien pronucian bien XD

  • Someone translate the bla bla in the beggining 

  • The song STARTS at 1:10. Hate to be a fag cause i hate it when poeple ask for thumbs up but i think this should be in the top comments section to save people time. soooooooo THUMBS UP PLEASE! :D

  • damn I can´t understand anything of what they are talking about, it seems like they´re speaking norwegian or something like that : S : D

  • The only unrealistic thing in this video is that the burd wouldnae return :)

  • Stephen Graham at 4:40

  • waw que bonita musica : )

  • *singing* would you like to, drink in a bar yes i would wash your face in, a lager spa(yes i would or would you rather be a log? its mind over matter right, really? I would doubt it strongly dont doubt my chi 20 quid dont doubt my... dont doubt my chi i bet ye, 20 quid you gotta get in...wha nah its not a matter, its no a matter... 50 its your personal business but see if id a been no listenin to you and listenin to my chi that wouldna of happened Stuff about betting, ran out of charecters
  • Hahaha... cannot understand what they´re saying before the song starts.... such an accent!!!!!!

  • @AguinaldoJr "they bet he can't do press-ups all day. He manages at the end, but when someone is in need of his help at the end, he is unable to do so because of the pointless bet. "

  • @AguinaldoJr i know. why can't they learn to speak english lol

  • @poplova a large part of england cant speak english so why should they.

  • @AguinaldoJr Lol, i'm a glaswegian too. I understand it perfectly.

  • Whenever I workout and I want to call it quits . . . I go to my I-Pod and I put this song on. Next thing I know . . . I'm still in the gym an hour later. :) Actually, I saw Doug in the city last year with his wife (actress from Finding Neverland) and they are the nicest people you can ever meet. I told him, "Doug, you guys make the best music videos!!!". :) When I left . . . I yelled down the street . . . "Thanks for the music!!!". He smiled and said, "No, thank you". :) TRAVIS!!!

  • very best music !!

  • The chorus is very Thom Yorke come on! i mean when he sing's Turn turn turnnnnn... part i guess. Backing guitar's are too you can tell they are quite influenced by the Oxford band.

  • Anyone see a Radiohead influence on this track? reminiscent of The Bend's era by Radiohead though!

  • Legend.

  • Sorry about my ignorance... but can someone explain me what is the video about?

    I dint understand quite well!!!

  • @Kgon1989 He's doing pressups until midnight to win a bet. The lead singer said it's mind over matter, that if he focuses his mind enough, his body can overcome the challenge. He wins the bet but the thing is, when he sees the lad getting attacked and he tries to help, his body is in bits and he can't get up...

  • @yummyburgers Thanks for the answer, its sad about the ending but great song and great band!!

  • @Kgon1989 No problem!
