  • SOMEBODY FIND THIS MAN THE WOMAN THIS SONG IS ABOUT. </3

  • God GREAT production!!!

    

  • Stole my life and wrote it in a song :'(

  • Beautiful song. On a seperate note, she plays violin and viola. whether it is one or the other I will never know. But, I do know she plays viola in live performances because she fears she will break her very treasured violin.

  • @mrKgage Believe what you like, but we all know the Viola is the best and she knows it too.... Lol

  • I had not heard this version before, I love this song.

  • it's about lost and sex. \

  • How can you dislike this?

  • Time goes by and I always come back to this song.

  • who gives a flying fuck if the 99 percent of the world who doesnt give a shit if its a viola or violin mistakenly says shes a violin player. does it make it sound any different? i cant name every instrument in the london symphany orchestra does that make me an asshole if i still want to enjoy their music? fuck off u petty bitches.

  • This song made me think about my ex and how badly things ended between us. All of the memories of us came back and actually made me cry. I love this band this song is one of my favorites.

  • This song mean way too much to me.

  • there bass player looks like russel brand O.o

  • she is my new personal idol. *show-stealer*

  • this song <3 this band <3 WOW!!!

  • @gomez0119 We gotta show them who's the boss. Viola's beat Violin's. Plain and simple.

  • @gomez0119 'Tis the plight of the violist. :-(

  • Guys, she plays the viola. Granted, she could probably play the violin just as good but listen to her. It's a freakin' Viola!!!!!! Just sayin...

  • so so so so AMAZING!!!!!!

  • Saw them at ACL this weekend. I still have chills thinking about this song, and their set in general. AMAZING.

  • gives me chills everytime. breathtaking

  • i want to cry now D:

  • oh....how i remember how it really sucked to be consumed with those emmotions.....this is a great heartfelt song right to the fucking point ''bravo i applaud heartbreak for once

  • i have an almost religious obsession with this song...

  • 15 people have no soul. Just saying. (;

  • i LOVE this.

  • look at the emotion in his eyes when he sings this...that's what separates the good artists from the great ones.

  • Great song!

  • This by far my favorite version of this song. I am still in deeply in love with the I divorced just a few short months ago and this song makes me think of her.

  • @darenmccollum Same thing happened to my parents, probably one of the saddest things watching my idol brake down late at night in tears when contemplating his love for his wife, and begging me to not let her go. Fuck i'm pretty depressed now.

  • I first heard this song when a good friend of mine passed away, I just love it.Amazing violins in this version

  • @shyly2 we dont know any of that frenchy crap here! Your in america god damn it, speak spanish!!!!!

  • That violinist is seriously, seriously hot.

  • not sure how he sings all the way through this song without crying

  • Quelle belle voix ! merci pour ces éclaircissements sur le sens des paroles Rainbowpeeinglsrain

  • @andropovg I know :) bass violin is just another term for stand up bass.

  • These guys sound SO much better playing acoustic.

  • superb

    

  • awesome!

  • I love when you can see the emotion that portrayed by the song in the musicians face while they sing. very very good. Love this band :)

  • Anna Bulbrook <3333333333

  • Love this version

  • I need to see them!!!!

    This song is amazing<3

  • He took the words right from my heart that exact moment happened to me but of course opposite sex. Phenomenal!

  • Amazing

  • I absolutely love this version. It has alot more feeling than the radio version and I believe this is how the artist intended it to be heard.

  • Great acoustic version, but I in this case (unlike Innocence) I still prefer the original album version - the emotion and tempo just builds that much better.

  • is there an acoustic album of all the songs? because i like the band a whole lot and like the acoustic versions better

  • voice uggly

  • The lead singer is exactly how I view Gabriel the archangel :o

  • 13 ppl have zero taste

  • amazing

  • Of all the bands I like, of all the songs I like, this version of this song has been the only one that gave me the chills the first time I heard it.

    And I'd heard the regular version before this one.

    That says a lot about this rendition, and this song.

    Also: Anna + beanie = incredible.

  • Love! :)

  • this song.

    rainymood.

    best thing ever.

  • Ahhhh, broken heart we've all had.

  • i wish i could write anything that could just .......wow i suck at writing i can't even explain it ...just every line is perfect

  • i like how he avoids eye contact with the camera until the very last line

  • I honestly think they're best unplugged.

  • Sums it up pretty much perfectly, doesn't it?

  • To all who have had their hearts broken,

  • 50 something video today and this is the only one that i listened through the whole thing... its that good=D

  • greatest song of all time

  • If no one is playing a cello then maybe he is jacking it! Anyway this song deserves more than masturbation, so get out there and bone or ride your respective honey's. Martha Stuart says it's a good thing.

  • @kwbdwino78 Can't people just appreciate a song without relating it too having sex?

  • I didn't think the original version could get any better!

  • Guy on the cello looks like he's jacking it the entire time haha.

    But ATE is the best.

    This song captures what everyone has felt sometime in their life.

    Talented, without a doubt.

  • @dpetok92 umm...noone os playing a cello

  • @dpetok92 umm...noone is playing a cello

  • Brings love absolute to crush your ego.

  • OMG..This song brings tears to my eyes...it's beautiful. It actually makes me feel overwhelmed with so many different emotions. I can listen to this and picture in my mind moments from my past and feel the love you have for someone that just won't go away.

  • The beautiful words in this song make your heart ache for someone in your past. It brings back the raw emotions of loving and losing. It is incredible to find a song that is so poetic and in sync with the human emotions.

  • I love these guys..

  • I agree with with katie coole 101 I love these guys this song kicks ass

  • one of the greatest love songs and videos ever

  • this song makes me cry. god i love the violin

  • love it..

  • Would never have guessed this song would be this good acoustic.

  • Can you imagine...I can. I love this version

  • Does anyone know the meaning on his Guitar?

    "Somewhere They Foxtrot Madly" I think it says...

    I thought it was interesting.

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain its a line in a poem, so open to interpretation you can read the poem and see what you think he's trying to convey with it.

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain It's a piece of old poetry

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain The military uses the word foxtrot as the letter "F" to send messages. So maybe it means Somewhere they Fuck Madly lol :P

  • @Kriskazam Foxtrot is also a dance, though I think it would be more bad ass if your interpretation was correct I think after taking everything about the band into consideration its just a cheaky little saying.

  • @theduke256 It's hard to tell which one it is since Mikel is also a writer, but is also expected if he meant "Fuck" lol

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain It's from an old poem called "Once A Runner", about a man running alone at night. I love that line of it... o.o

    "Somewhere they foxtrot madly

    While in lunar shadows sadly

    I keep pace with crickets gladly

    And Moon rises with my bile"

    Not sure who wrote it, but that's what I found, Someone wrote that it's about a very dedicated runner...

  • @AutumnTheNinja

    Well the only sensible and relevant interpretation of that poem to the song is:

    Knowing a past love is with someone else, running; being the defining metaphor for love and a relationship. leaving the author behind as they run together like foxes.

    The author knows that his love is with someone else in the moonlight, and it saddens him,

    As the author has no one to run with besides the crickets on the ground, (That is, no one to love)

    The thought of it all makes him sick

  • @AutumnTheNinja

    Foxtrot also happens to be a type of ballroom dancing, if that helps with interpreting the poem.

  • @AutumnTheNinja I don't think it's about that at all.. It's about love lost and love rediscovered but teasingly unavailable.

  • @mostnormal He means the part of the poem on his guitar, look closely and you can see it

  • @BtheLee11 oh ok... lol that makes alot more sense o.O

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain "Foxtrot" is NATO phonetic alphabet for the letter "F" or a word starting in "F" such as fuck or fucking. Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo = FUCK.

    Foxtrot is also a dance or english dance move. SO maybe someone is doing one of the 2 "madly" or both who knows.

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain it is from a poem called once a runner

  • @RainbowPeeingIsRain the foxtrot is also a popular dance. he runs alone at night as his friends are off doing something else (like dancing). I love the poem

  • I just love it when Mikel finaly looks at the camera at 3:30

  • This is our favorite song on the DVD (it's at least once a week over here)! You all should buy it to suport this band, they deserve more then any other. Thnx for the upload, wonderfull song

  • dannggg i wish i had their sheet musics :]

  • just.....wow!

  • wow

    

  • amazing!

  • !! Goodly !!

  • Damn! 

  • Very good performance

  • I love this Version. I hear it for 1000 times and still like it. The whole album is wonderful but this song is incredible - with the awesome lyrics. The best part is from 4:35 till the end. I wish they come again to Germany.

  • So many bands are just putting it on

    Why can't they be the same as their songs?

    I can't help it I'm so naive

    Another record with my heart on the sleeve

    Is he as cool as he writes them?

    Not always and hold that against him

    I can't believe I've only just discovered the Airborne Toxic Event

    How have I only just found out about the Airborne Toxic Even?

  • This song melts my heart

  • 10/10

  • GOD I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH, LIKE SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!

  • Awsome!!!!!!! Saw them in glasgow and they were tremend!!

  • Pure Quality, they are awsome live too, roll on their next tour, and i agree Very underated group!!!

  • Some of the instrumental parts of this song convey sadness words cannot.

  • @ibetmycaddywill2 Isn't that the concept of most instrumental? To express an emotion words cannot?

  • Mikel's guitar says,

    Somewhere they foxtrot madly.

    Where is that from?

  • @lockwoodhms1

    Really old poetry, if you Google it I'm sure you can find it.

  • @lockwoodhms1 After a bit of googling myself, i THINK its from an old novel called "once a runner". the full poem:

    Somewhere they foxtrot madly/

    While in lunar shadows sadly/

    I keep pace with crickets gladly/

    And Moon rises with my bile/

  • I personally like this version much better than the album version. It has more emotion in my opinion. It got massively overplayed and I got pretty tired of it, but this version is amazing. Mikel Jollett obviously put all he had into this song/performance and it shows. I'm blown away.

  • This song is just...undescribable. It's so beautiful.

  • Every word in this song flows with both artistic beauty and pain, it reminds me just how human we really are.

  • I love this song. I love this band. There is no better music!

  • Absolutely amazing :) I love acoustic versions.

  • I love this! The passion gave me shivers!

  • I recently discovered you all...I can't stop listening to your album. I bought the deluxe edition! Worth every penny...

  • I cant even begin to describe my love for this song. I've never connected with such raw and passionate lyrics like these, the emotion is so vibrant and the music is beautiful. It's a shame people dislike it cuz it was a bit "overplayed" on radio for a while. Personally I could listen to this on repeat all the time. 

  • brillant. it's so fucking great, I am at a loss of a words.

  • this video made me become a big fan and travel to see them -that does not happen that often with me - amazing band and lyrics - i also went on to meet the band in person who signed my cd lol, in the UK - this is why i love youtube you would never get the chance to view so many good bands that would just pass you by,

    thanks Ja,

  • ahhhhhh i love this song .......it makes me miss playing the violin....XD

  • I know how this feels :(

  • man i can relate to this, my girl and i were just kickin it when out of nowhere

    some guy came by and i guess she liked what she saw and just like

    that dropped me like a penny in a donation box. she looked straight at me, smiled

    and left with him.

  • Does anyone know what is written on the bottom of his guitar????

  • @jfishman23 thats what i was wondering i think it says 1 word i cant reaD maybe "IMAGINE THEY FOXTROT MADLY??

  • @DeAnDiStRuCtAbLe somewhere they foxtrot madly =)

  • @fedeberckx kool thanks

  • @jfishman23 Somewhere they foxtrot madly

  • hhhooolllyyy ssshhhiiitttt

  • Love this song..
