  • I love this song from years...

    and I still think it's AMAZING!

    perfetta

  • This has been the very first time I listened to this song, even to this group. I heard about them because a friend told me that it looked like Muse.

    It really does. I've been looking for years a grupos that make me feel like them do, and this could be it

  • Neon Ballroom was the only album I had of theirs. It got me through a very rough time in my life. I hadn't heard this song or the album in years. Will be purchasing it again soon. And this song will FOREVER move me.

  • My favorite Silverchair song!!

  • perfeita!

  • ridiculous guy

  • I just broke down as I was watching this...

  • i love this song.. everytime i hear this i can always remember the pain i've experience from my past... wooo this one breaks my hearts. T.T

  • This is one of my top 10 jams. And I'm into hip hop and underground music.

  • this band are true artist,

  • fuck this is moving <3 

  • Go Aussiesssssss 

  • This is the song of my youth and actually likely the song of my life. But does it surprise anybody, like really, does it? Come at me bro!

    Everything is CLEARLY dying!

  • @RealTrueTarget I know what you mean !! I bought this album when iwas 14 :D totally a big fan :D .. they are not that huge in Taiwan, but I am glad to know these guys :D

  • Masterpiece video, nuff said.

  • My name is chris and I'm 25 years old. I would do anything to go back in time and rescue myself as child and lift myself out of the wave called life, that was ready to drownd me , in drug abuse, self abuse. GET UP,GET UP CHRIS AND wake up and let me save you from yourself. Good things will come. Lessons learned. Emotion sickness from pychosis.

  • Epic video, epic music.

  • I remember the day i first found that track... it was a first-sight love...

  • what ever happened to silverchair???  songs of drug abuse, and depression.. i miss this band! :)

  • @mayh3mMcluVin They are still around, just haven't come out with the album yet. I have no idea why though.

  • This is such an under-rated song, so emotional I feel like crying

  • I feel sick right now....

  • Liked it, enjoyed it, apreciated it, still love it. Something of the 90's to remember and miss but that I still like. Or that I already liked it. It fits my taste before and after over a decade of changes.

  • 0.00-6.37 is pure magic

  • 4.34-5.00 is pure magic!

  • Wow T.T

  • a complex piece, there's so much depth into this song. One of my favorite piece from them.

  • In fact, i am in love with this video right here. It is everything I thought it to be. I will stop yabbing now.

  • This video, if any, actually captures how I feel. No matter how dated the realistics are or how worse the actors do.

  • This was the song that made me say, "Okay, Daniel Johns is a musical genius!"  After that Diorama came out and I was like, "Wow, he's even better than I thought." Which was hard to believe even for me since I already thought of him as a genius.

  • great damn amazing song

  • Their best song by far IMO

  • the videoclip sucks

  • how can there be dislikes on this song? this is the shit

  • so theatrical.. didn't expect to hear something like this from this band

  • It's a sad fact of the world that how popular (i.e. how "good" you are - not the sham that is popularity these days) is based on where you come from in the world. These guys should have been much bigger than they were - their music had so many evolving levels of complexity.

    Oh well, Bieber is obviously better... =\

  • my emotion sickness

  • so what actually happens in the video?

  • wow city rail trains havnt changed one bit :/

  • I think this is where the used and other similar bands followed! Great work DANIEL!

  • No words to describe this song's beauty.

  • When I was a kid i heard this song for the first time and dreamed i was in the ending train, with the same background. The dirty water started moving up and up, and things on the floor, like papers and soda cans were suddenly floating around me. I moved to the top to catch any possible air. When the water covered the whole train, i searched in all wagons for anything. I held my breath to the limit, just to discover i was able to breath underwater in the end. Woke up scared and panting.

  • @GustavusOtakus But amazed.

  • ♥ ... ='( ♥

  • @Jugeman basically I think Neon Ballroom was the bridge between what they wanted to become and the old grunge sound they started with and that's what makes it so epic. Their later stuff was just ok, but not on the same level of raw exploration that made Neon Ballroom such a refreshing rock album.

  • Comment removed

  • This is my favorite song.

  • @Sk8or413 this is my favorite song too. i grew up with them

  • @Sk8or413 this is my favorite song too. i grew up with them

  • @Jugeman Neon Ballroom took a few years for me (sadly). At first I just didn't get it and maybe it was also because I was only 16 when it came out. I had worn out Frog Stomp and may or not have had Freak Show yet. It wasn't until a few years ago when I started evolving as a musician myself and wanted to start doing things with my recording software that just weren't possible with my 3 piece band that the total genius and maturity of that album slapped me in the face and I fell in love with it.

  • @Jugeman i agree with your sentiments on neon ballroom, and diorama is very different, but it is a VERY good album in it's own right, though clearly a different feeling silverchair. young modern on the other hand... :\

  • @Jugeman Diorama is a excellent album, don't know wtf you're talking about.

  • this song is just pure genius, daniel is a musical GOD.

  • neon ballroom was their last decent album

  • Straight Lines is pretty good too.

  • all you helgott fan fags need to get off yr pretentious high horses and recognize Hollywood celebrity when you see it.If any of you spittin about him can name another modern pianist,Ill give you a fucking dollar

  • im freaking out...may leave or may not...oh sum1 plis tell me to calmdown!!!!

    the thought of being "unloved" keep passing through my mind...unsecure, unstable emotion....i officially got EMOTION SICKNESS!!!!

  • such an underrated song

  • my favourite

  • @haleczka (2)

  • Interesting vid. Nice song.

  • For those who might be interested, look up David Helfgott's bio. *He is playing piano on this track* Those who are inclined to delve into what makes a band tick might find some interesting information here.

    peace

  • @technocrash09 overrated pianist,interesting life and movie

  • @deSadetheImpaler That's all I'm sayin. Not a fan....just found it interesting. Never actually heard of the schizo until recently. Being somewhat of a piano player myself, I thought I would look into his bio. If one were to ask me, this whole song is basically mediocre.

    peace

  • burn my knees and pray

    

  • is this the official music video or fan made?

  • @checkthapain This is the official vid. Not sure why the band chose not to appear in this one themselves... maybe Dan was too ill at the time?

  • I love this song so much this and anna's song

  • what a great FN song!!!

    

  • 4:33 Emotional Part

  • 58 people where looking 4 beiber

  • Comment removed

  • the dislike button for this video should be removed.

  • This song has to be SIlverchair's penultimate song, well at least for me, no matter how many times I have listened to it, it has never failed to move me.

    To enter into the new VS old debate I will say this:

    I love every single work by this band. Frogstomp & Freakshow are great but a little naive, Neon Ballroom masterful but depressing, Diorama swirling and hopeful (my favourite album too!) and Young Modern musically as brilliant as ever though I think lacking the depth of their previous work.

  • i love this song. i used to listen to this album on repeat in high school. wonderful memories!!!

  • This Video is vastly superior to all of the Lady Bieber videos's combined!

  • one word:epic

  • Someone explain the video to me I dont get it but love this song its my fav

  • @Sara5606 How do you not get it?

  • Oh man this song takes me back.

  • this is really a piece of anthology, a hidden masterpiece in my opinion, I loved it back then and it chills me the same way today.

  • @Jugeman I agree Neon Ballroon was a brilliant album, and it's unfortunate that struggle, depression and dark thoughts often lead to the most original, honest and inspired music. Most of the musical greats have walked the blade's edge. It's a beautiful album, but I don't like to think of it as their best because of the underlying themes. What makes Silverchair great to me is that they produce an amazing sound in both dark times and good. Daniel came out the other side & kept going.

  • @yorkheardt He still struggles dude. And I think it's great that depression and angst can breed amazing talent. There's two ways to come out of depression, and if you choose the right one, you're still here.

    People who don't struggle with anything are truly missing out on one of life's experiences. You have to have the bad to appreciate the good.

  • @XxAussieFuryxX I completely agree, whenever something gets me down I just think well that is another experience, I may be able to use this experience to help another sometime, and it is surprising how true that is. After going through a rough period of mental illness my eyes were opened to all these people around me whose sadness was disguised by a smile.

    I think this portrayal of depression; the music, words and video, is so amazingly accurate!

  • @XxAussieFuryxX I Completely agree, I'm by no means a historian of Daniel Johns but from what I know he truly seems/seemed to be a tortured musician. And from that struggle he created beautiful music. Thanks Daniel.

  • @mattlekochinsky I think we all have our fair amount of shit to deal with, but some of us embrace that darkness, turn it into something beautiful, but we're also the first to help out other people. Daniel Johns may not be the first to do it, but he is one singer who shares so much of himself in his music, and you don't have to be a die-har dfan or a musician to get it.

  • @XxAussieFuryxX I listen to The Whitlams, and found them to be equally dark and melancholy, even though their sound tends to be quite the opposite. I met Tim Freedman once in a bar, and told him he music saved my life. He smiled, lifted his glass and kept drinking his scotch without saying another word. It occurred to me that after his three friends committed suicide that his music is now his burden to them,and he carries it with him wherever he goes.

    I just hope he knows the difference he makes

  • wow this song moved me 12 yrs ago, but now that i'm 12 yrs older it makes so much more sense.

  • lol susan boyale, givem some credit, if the sounded like crap, i think they would still sound better then nickelback. U either lik them or u dont.

  • sad to know that 

  • Hey guys, sorry for the confusion... you r right, they broke... totally sad dude....

  • The best song ever written by a bunch of teenagers. R.I.P. Silverchair.

  • @Seanorman88 Dude, they still alive!!!.. whts wrong with you?!?!.... They are not the same, but HEY tht's evolution.

  • @hOOnl No dude, they broke up. Check Wikipedia.

  • @hOOnl I got an email from them as a fanclub member saying that they are on an infinite break. They aren't coming back. Thay are all going their separate ways.

  • @Jugeman I agree with a bit of a twist. i think that freakshow is their best album but that songwriting elements from this album were really good. they should have mixed freakshow and this album instead of turning in to the crapfest they are. its probably the reason they broke up.

  • @laynestaley1990 Dude none of their albums were a crapfest their music just didnt appeal to alot of people do you know how amazing diorama was instramentally each instrament in a song of diorama has aprox 27 different track anthem of the year 2000 the bass and guitar are togeather dead on young modern theirs 2-4 good songs on it but the main reason people didnt like it was because it was soo different then any of the others and actually you are right at the end sorts chair broke up

  • Comment removed

  • because chris and ben didnt like the new sound and daniel took control and they just all needed a break

  • Wii Motion Fitness...

    LOL^

  • Silverchair have their influences just like every other band, but none of these bands have came out after silverchair, putting the whole 'silverchair copying muse' thing to death, they are their own musicians and they aren't a new band anymore, they don't need to copy anyone, and they never did, they just have their own sound that has been adapted over the years just like every other GOOD band, i hate to compare, but imagine if Nirvana was still around today? they would've done the same thing.

  • I used to have an alarm on my CD player in highschool. It would play the first song on whatever CD was in there. I woke up to this song for a year. love love lovvvve this song

  • @Jugeman TOTALLY AGREE! and that was meant to be in all caps!!!

  • i love this song so hard >.<

  • By far, my favorite of theirs from what i've heard

  • I'll always be glad this band existed. No matter what genre they supposedly fit in or "sounded like" they were never part of any of them to me. They existed in a unique little pocket and created some dynamic and ever-evolving works of art. So much more than a garage band, yet so drastically underrated at the same time.

  • a great aussie band, they will not be forgotten

  • Iv been listening to some of their songs on You Tube and finding a reason to feel like I missed something from not being a fan.

    ...But not this time...Im just not a fan. Good for those of you who are..

  • Amazing band. Always will be.

  • SILVERCHAIR 4 EVER!!!

  • Totally gutted about these guys splitting up :(

  • david helfgott on piano, musical genius...

  • amazing song.

  • @Raine54321 You have misread what i've said, i never called them Nirvana wannabees or unoriginal myself, i was commenting on how alot of other people put them down as stuff like that. That might not be the case in Australia but over here it very much is the case, no matter how different they make their music people always claim they've ripped off someone else, it's sad but they always do get pinned as rip-offs no matter what.

  • @caemawred if those people are idiots perhaps. there's a lot of them around in the world.

  • The greatest era of Silverchair..

  • fucking beautiful. even from the trash music they used to be, to this...i think it's beautiful and i love it. ...but there NEW shit....is just that. shit.

  • I remember this song from the 90's it was a bit dark for me back then.. but hell it was mesmerizing.. ahh silverchair!!!

  • @sonikell the album was released in 1999 technically it wasnt the 90's anymore.

  • This video and this song is the best of Silverchair, but not undertand this lirycs. They made my dream come true in images realy.

  • dude its pure .

  • Dude this band is older than Muse. How does silverchair copy off muse when they hit their prime years after silverchair did?

  • 1 million closer day by day

  • THE BEST OF GRUNGE AFTER NIRVANA

  • @edulz1985  GRUNGE?

  • There is no better song to describe depression,sadness,and angst.

  • Damn, this video looks how I feel. Heavy-hearted, lost, disconnected. I've never seen a video this perfect for this emotion.

  • today did not quite understand this clip, but I know that the protagonist is beautiful too!!

  • is this the official video for it? i thought this was never released as a single?.

  • So sad they sound like a bunch of little girls now, their previous albums are kickass

  • emotion sicness mt phoda

  • I would KILL for an instrumental version of this.

  • There best song. Fucking masterpiece!

  • I see this video today for the first time after years... It scares me

  • It's funny, Silverchair have changed their sound quite often but no matter what they've never been able to break free of just being seen as Silverchair, they've always been one of those bands who are pinned to a "Oh they are so copying _____" tag. They went from being put down as Nirvana wannabees to people claiming their ripping off Muse and more recently they've apparently been trying to steal Take That's sound XD, it's amazing.

    Next it'll be; "OMG Silverchair are copying Susan Boyle!"

  • @caemawred My favorite bands include Muse and Silverchair... I see no resemblance.

  • @caemawred hhahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahaha yup its true but their the best

  • @caemawred Susan Boyle...Why?

  • @MrFucker96TV lmao

  • @caemawred ha thanks for that comment : )

  • @caemawred I think Silverchair sounds like Silverchair.

  • @caemawred Haha, that's an interesting take on them but to the people in question they were around long before Muse who i believe aren't exactly the most original band around "cough- (radiohead)"- although i do like them. Haha, Take That- WTF??!! Who are these dickheads? :-)

  • @caemawred they do have a hint of susan boyle

  • amazing piano overdubs

  • the best videoclip of silverchair ♥

  • the best videoclp of silverchair ♥

  • HEY MAYBE THE BAND GREW THE FUCK UP FROM BEING 16 YEARS OLD AND SINGING ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS..THEIR MUSIC PROGRESSION IS BEAUTIFUL. ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND INSPIRING.
