  • Holy shit, this is one of the best songs I've ever heard. After seeing Drive I decided to look up more modern synth pop and stumbled upon The Knife, seeing as Heartbeats is considered one of their best singles I said "let's give it a try", but never expected such a perfect pop song.

  • @luckysilviano check out Fever Ray it's Karin's (the vocalist of The Knife) solo project ;)

  • sweet

  • Perfection. It sounds like 80's electronic game music and I love it that the video clip shows that.

  • The Knife - They see me rollin ( OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO W/ SOUND )

  • Stevie Nicks? sounds just like her. Whoa.

  • @1577Bailey it's Karin Dreijer

  • CONCITO; Stop liking and make videos, PD: you rock

  • Comment removed

  • CONCITO!

  • I try to get tired of hearing this - it's not working.

  • FUCK FUYCKFY FYES

    

  • 137 people dont have a heartbeat :)

  • sorry for being so late.

  • i liked the knife-heartbeats

  • It took me almost a year to find this damn song.... I had no idea who it was by. Only knew one line... lean on me. Lol

  • Ahhh...so unique.

  • i wish ppl would stop talking about jose's version, they are both excellent, so just enjoy

  • This song sounds like the old Donkey Kong for game boy music.

  • Yes!!!....thank you for specifying that this video has sound......I'm so sick of watching silent music videos

  • Pity, 'cause what I was really after was a version without any sound at all.

  • i like both versions...

  • I prefer José's version, but that doesn't necessarily mean I dislike this one! :) I don't get why everyone hates on him for covering this song! This song will still be here guys!

  • @TheDisturbed0ne1 We hate him because he's an awful musician and every stupid fool that saw the commercial with his cover in it thinks he wrote the song and The Knife covered him. The Knife > Jose Gonzales. Actually, The Knife > Ellie Goulding's cover of Jose's version > Jose Gonzales.

  • @nbmatt Fair enough a lot of people such as myself, do think it was originally written by Jose until realising it was a cover, but I just don't understand why everyone seems to be hating on him due to the fact he took an electronical masterpiece such as this and make it his own unique, emotional and powerful Melody. It all just seems a little childish from where I am standing, since both are amazing in their own right, just does not make sense to slander a talented musician, without good cause.

  • @ShaneyQua I can't speak for anyone else that dislikes his version, but the reason I don't like it is because he seemed to miss the "point" of the song. The way he sings is too sad when the it should be uplifting. I'm very aware that this is a matter of personal preference and opinion, so I don't want it to seem like I don't respect him as an artist. I guess it all just boils down to what arguments about music usually always boil down to -- common people like common music.

  • @nbmatt

    That's incredibly narrow minded. You hate on the guy who honors the song by covering it, aiming far more attention to the original than if he would not, instead of the ignorant fools out there who don't mind checking up the original song? Hating on people who likes another genre is a pretty much stupid thing to do alone. You resemble a major part of what's wrong with all the wannabe "True music lovers" out there.

  • who the hell is jose?

  • THIS VERSION BLOWS JOSE OUT OF THE WATER!!! I mean, BORING!!!!! God the Knife is wayyyyyyyyy better! He sounds like he took some Soma and is gonna pass out!!!

  • @guitardedoner the original and the jose gonzalez cover are both good in different ways. if you find the jose gonzalez version boring, you're a retarded 14 year old with ADD

  • @grasd2 I guess I am a retarded 23 year old with ADD

  • god so what tv show remade this song? like 2 months ago it had practically a fourth of the views it has now it seems like.

  • VERY GOOD

    

  • jose's version is boring and destroys the entire tone of the song

  • she sounds hot

  • God I Love this, the Jose versions Beautiful but in my opinion this tops it.

  • fucked up video :D:D:D hahaha trippppiiiinnnn

  • Are byou from Iceland ?

  • This version is happier, The Jose version is beautiful.

  • favorite part of youtube, has all my favs in the suggestions c:

  • if you dont like this song, go burst your eardrums, you dont need them anymore

  • @1976ACL

    If you dont like this song, you have opinions, congrats. You dont have to like it just because its the origional of a really famous cover.

  • Recorded with a 2 mega pixel patato

  • Nostalgia...

  • People kept saying to me..dude Jose's version is great but you gotta check out the original... Really those people, really?

  • @LITTLEREDKINGS. Really.

  • @LITTLEREDKINGS Because it's a lot fucking better. Jose sounds like every other person with an acoustic guitar...

  • @LITTLEREDKINGS ok. basically.

  • This sounds like fucking shit...

  • Longboards: SOO COOL!!

  • Always makes me smile :)

  • Great jam...and those kids can handle a board better than most adults, kick ass!

  • This is still my fav song so many years later!

  • Just the best.

  • i smoked 5 bowls to this

  • @killmrmanson I Smoked 6

  • Comment removed

  • I was confused by the skateboards

  • Thumbs up if Pandora sent you here =P!!

  • I'm at that part of (musical) youtube again...

  • In my former life, I was a skateboarder in 1970's southern califnornia.

  • I was waiting until someone would fall off the longboard in the vid -__- it never happened

  • the backing music on this at the start seems familiar on another song anyone know it

  • @XxAIRLINxX Jose gonzales' cover of the same song.

  • uhhh the old school boarders make the video, not random objects popping multi colored balls out of them to birds or whoever. i fail to see how anyone DIRECTED this video of old footage/weird happenings. keep the boarders going.

  • OMG! W/ SOUND!

  • @pknduk I know- wasn't this video (or copy of it) on youtube for quite a while with no sound... haha That's great!

  • lol

  • Ignore the political ads and their progaganda--inappropriate forum. Great music, thank you Knife!

  • Oh it's w/sound! that's good to know!

  • Got turned onto The Knife with Red Riding Hood when they played as Fever Ray.

  • @Sinnlos483 Fever Ray is the sister out of The Knife. THey're not the same. GET IT RIGHT!

  • @macveanla damn are you always such a bitch to people?

  • Where have I heard this before?

  • @bespeckledcat Jose Gonzalez did an acoustic cover of this song, that's probably where.

  • @bespeckledcat The Sony Bravia advert! Amazing TV advert. Great song.

  • @bespeckledcat Jose Gonzalez made a cover, it's better and they play it occasionally around places.

  • Almost sounds like Fever Ray... almost

  • @exvonz That's probably because Karin Dreijer Andersson aka Fever Ray is a part of the knife.

  • @ForbiddenSnowflake That's awesome, I didn't know. Thanks! :D

  • love the song and even the original...

  • This video just shows that all can have a good time with just a little bit of love (just look at the kids on their boards sliding and grinding downhill) even tho its all against the wind from there... Share the peice and love all...

  • fuck just 240p:(

  • I never want to leave this part of youtube.

  • Iv'e just seen paint balls trying to take down a paper plane bird...I must be as high as heaven

  • what year is this from ?

  • ok elimination time.. those from 20-27 can send me pm.. if u live in europe even better..

    hahah, just joking. nice to see so much active people on this video :)

  • @SuperMultiQ I am only a boy. Unfortunately, after hearing it, I dont like it.

  • the live version is so much better

  • I thought the lead singer was Jamaican when I first heard this song. :/

  • i want a boy who likes this song :(( i dont know any

  • @SuperMultiQ you must not be looking very hard. There's got to be more than me :D

  • @SuperMultiQ I'm a boy, and I'm the only person who I know who bought this single!

  • symbolizes the months of summer spend on my long board cruising the streets from sundown to sun up. takes me back.

  • this is freggin awsum ty to ever made this <3

  • only swedish people can make crazy videos like this one , ... I'm belgian

  • 1:31 i always hope that one time the kids ride into eachother..

  • Those kids were skating the shit outta those skateboards.

  • This song represents some pretty decent times for me.

  • theres sumthin subliminal about this .. i know it  :))

  • i love this track ..very well put together..

  • ... music is awesome .. but where is my shoulder to lean on...

  • The live version is, dare I say, even better. Epic sounds. <3

  • i dig the live version a little better:)

  • Did anyone else started listening to this song from losing someone you love

  • @ThatHeavyisaSpy1

    My condolences if that is your case. I've lost folk, two recently, but this song, is not my therapy. Hope you have a shoulder to lean on, and some folk to share and work it out with. Best wishes.

  • @falang78 Thank you :), I hope you have a shoulder to lean on, and some folk to share and work it out with too

  • well...time to find ExzeRR's comment.

  • @MeesterChao it's quite easy to guess what the comment was :p

  • @MeesterChao Let me know when you find it, i want to see, i have to start my homework lol

  • i cant tell if this video is awesome or shit?

  • @CarvelJFru the former... don't hurt youself thinking about it;)

  • @MsTherese21 yeah its \ great song so i'll give the video the benefit of the doubt i think

  • @CarvelJFru It sure is- my son showed me this song a couple years ago, and he's a skateboarder (he was 15 at the time) So it hits close to home for me:) The live version is pretty cool- you should check it out!

  • @MsTherese21 aw thats cool. i will check it out, to be honest i thought jose gonzalez wrote this song until i came across this and i think this is better, but jose does a great version too

  • @CarvelJFru That's funny- I think I did too at the time (can't remember) but I learned his version on the guitar.. I was playing it daily for quite a while, that's why my son showed me this version. They are both great, but I agree, this version has more depth of feeling:)

  • @MsTherese21 oh man i checked out a live version in gothenburg which was awesome. slightly weird, but awesome none the less

  • @CarvelJFru Do you mean the one recorded on April 12th?? I know- tell me about it... Lights going on and off, monkey-like space people playing the tune, snowflakes falling out of nowhere- it's quite a vision... That's inspiration for ya.. Must be love!!!

  • @MsTherese21 Just imagine being the couple it was written for... disheartening... I hope things worked out for them...

  • @MsTherese21 yep thats the one haha. its a pitty though, i cant really get into any of their other stuff

  • @CarvelJFru I may have tried a few others a couple years ago, but nothing that stuck.. this is obviously their best work. Divine Influence;) So Carvel- what's the J stand for?? haha

  • @MsTherese21 I'd guess JackAss;) haha jk- gonna get a Dove Bar though- thanks for that!

  • @MsTherese21 yeah true. haha it stands for john, as in john frusciante, i recommend you listen to his music or anything by the red hot chili peppers. (and carvel is one of my favourite songs by him)

  • @CarvelJFru Oh- very tricky, you are. JackAss was a bit funnier for me... I like the chili peppers, i'll check that out. Thanks Carvel! Do you have a vid of it on your channel??

  • @MsTherese21 hehe. i dont but theres plenty of good john frusciante stuff online, you cant go wrong. any other videos you recommend??

  • @CarvelJFru Oh- I've got tons... I noticed you has the jesus/religion videos on your site- pretty funny, i posted one on fb today why i like jesus but not religion...something like that.. I'll send you a video:)

  • @MsTherese21 oh please do. yeah im having a debate with some guy about god right now hehe, very frustrating

  • I love this song. I don't like the video, though... the music video for this song could be so great.

  • tune

    

  • I love The Knife. It's something different, not the same thing as everything else. They really inspired me. I'm 12-years-old and I'm already making my own music and I'd love it if some of you checked out my channel.

  • AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! M***** F******!!!!

  • I like Jose Gonzalez version better.

  • @simdude2u Go listen to that one. Leave the real music alone.

  • Im sorry but is it just me that thinks jose gonzalez version is 100x better?

  • @timmy3307 yes. It's a boring acoustic song. This is a unique piece of electronic music

  • @timmy3307 just you and those other 124 people who put a thumbs down for music.

  • @timmy3307 God no. Without The Knife i would have assumed that Jose Gonzalez was just a mexican drug peddler.

  • @timmy3307 I didn't like it the first time and preferred the cover as well, but I listened again, and here I am 20 listens later, lovvving it :)

  • Beautiful. The death song of an entire generation. They leave me sick to the core, wrapped in ice.

  • well thank god it has sound

  • I'm not gonna lie, one of the worst music videos ever made, lol @ that train and the birds, so poorly done, love the music though, lol

  • @rainintheface5 Do you honestly beliave they intended the birds to look "good"?

  • Look at those colored balls at 49 seconds, like the Sony commercial :D

  • Im kinda glad i didnt know about this song when it came out way back when, cuz i woulda definitely fell into the whole douchebag scene Austin has now. Lol

  • and this isnt skaterdater!!!where is it from!

  • someone please tell me where the clips of the skate boarders comefrom?

  • 209

  • Koen is echt een sukkel

  • SKATER DATER!!!!! WOW, Haven't seen that since 1992. Heard Heartbeats in late 2004 via Myspace... weird, these things have been in my life a while now.

  • you scared homie?

  • ,Train by day! Joe Rogan podcast by night! All day!"

  • There's a version without sound? :|

  • @ColorfulHyena ಠ_ಠ

  • love this but for an alternative take please check out this Jose Gonzalez inspired version.. osakatunes channel

  • Love this song ! ! ! "ECLECTICS" of the world who GRASP MUSIC like this song.. It only needs 235 more CLICKS on this youtube video (yoo toob sucks by the way, cutting audio on the original video that was B.S.) Then it hit's 2,000,000 ! ! ! I'm from the U.S.and will always back my country, though MUSICALLY in the past 10 yrs, we've sadly declined. Swedish, the U.K and others..are still producing, arranging and pumping out real,self-written and COMPOSED material...hope they never stop ! ! :)

  • its hard to believe this is about getting back with someone who cheated on her..

  • Almost as good as the version by eltobasco
