  • a great singer mimics others... you can't make something out of nothing... what is the vocalist suppose to do? change his voice?they definitely hav similarities to coldplay, but face it, evry new band has a similarity to something then they find their own distinctive style ase and sound. i dont think its fair to say that they suck just because they can't conjour up something from thin air, no artist has evr done that, not even the most famous ones

  • Holy Weather - 3/27. Prepare your eardrums, and incredibly loud surround sound systems.

  • whenever i am lost in the woods with my camo on and knife in hand, i usually think of this song. it helps me find my out of the woods

  • Ladies and Gentlemen... I think we may have found Bono's clone.

  • For godsake I fucking love this song.

  • i saw them in orlando. on saturday. they sounded awesome

  • I came here because I saw them live April 9, 2011 in Columbus, Ohio for CD101 Day and they were amazing. I have videos of their performance on my channel :)

  • This is a good song! Although im tring to find another song... Ive looked up " is there anybody out there" like 10 times and I still can't find it... Some of the lyrics, if I remember are "Is ther anybody out the~re , there anybody the~re" then later I think it reapeats I think the word "F-f-f-fooly" I have been wanting to hear this song again for a long time so if anyone might know what it is please tell me and the song is a rock song by the way!

  • love these guys

  • my taste in music just brought me.

  • why does it matter if you heard of them before they were heard by everyone else like on "i am number four"? We all eventually find out about a band through someone or something. does it really matter if you knew them before? so on that note...

    I found them out because of "I am number four" but I like them now, that's all that matters.

  • @thatbadangel completely agree

  • @thatbadangel I agree100%when I heard song at end of Iam#4 actually thought it was Radiohead or just Thom Yorke solo. Because I heard a song for the 1st time in a movie then I found out who sang it - so I could see if I might like any other songs by them - that somehow devalues me as a potential fan in the future?All these losers who are obsessed with being1st "I started listening way b4 they were big" Guess What No 1 gives a shit except the other tools out there who think the same way.

  • <3

  • I find it kind of hilarious that Civil Twilight are compared the U2 and Coldplay so often, considering they're two of my least favourite bands on the planet. Civil Twilight possesses its own realm of awesomeness.

  • There so good

  • I still cant believe this is a South African Band! Makes me so proud, they are awesome! :D

  • they should have played this in 127 hours. now that song would've been perfect with the film itself.

  • I don't think their trying to copy Coldplay, or U2, they have their own unique sound, according to me. I heard them way before I am Number Four came out, and saw them in concert before that. They were amazing, and nothing like Coldplay, or U2. Personally, I think Civil Twilight is 10x better than either of them, but their talent isn't as recognized or mainstream.

  • Lol. People. Cursing because someone disrespected your opinion. How's about some perspective? while you guys are here snapping at one another as if your issues aren't linked by the common thing that we're all just trying to make it on this hell called earth, people are facing larger bigger badder issues. Children being sold in to sex slavery, mothers not being able to feed their children, let alone nurture them. People starving, people murdering one another. Ha! get over yourselves.

  • Dustin Martin doppelganger anyone?

  • Thought it was Bono and the boys for sure...

  • i love this band so much! words can't even express how much!!!. Thanks for uploading these songs btw :]

  • Message to the trolls... You are what you eat, so don't be a dick. Good day

  • I knew civil twilight since they first became known. Hell to number 4 for taking them :O, No I kid. I hope they become famous and amazing. They are too amazing to stay as a dark horse.

  • i cam here cause i heard this song live when they played in Ky

  • I am number 4

  • Life's too short to hate on each other over youtube comments, like the song or GTFO....

  • I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!

  • the only good things in the movie I Am Number 4 was the music they put in it!!!

    :D :D :D :D

  • Saw them lastnight in Denver, damn they are a great band!!!!!!

  • No, I did not come here because of a fucking movie. I came here because Civil Twilight is a fucking awesome band!

    CT FTW!

  • @mixethebeat Angry much?

  • @mixethebeat well you're a hipster music snob, get over yourself you arse

  • i thought this was a u2 song... awk

  • ahahaha ONE dislike x) that person is pretty fucked up

  • I can't believe I have never heard of them before I saw I Am Number Four! Thank God I've found them!!! Thanks for posting this up here!

  • @DonnieFanDarko i love Civil Twilight, but weridly enuff, i found out about them like a week before i saw NUmber Four! andthen wen i found out theri songs wer in the movie i was like 'no way!' but yeah, thank you #4! haha :)

  • @eclipselover1918

    Oh yeah! We shall all give our thanks to that movie, even though it wasn't all that great of a movie. Well, it was ok. 

  • aweeeesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • As an avid U2 fan, I can't deny the similar styles, but Civil Twilight is very much their own band. The Drumming is nothing like U2, and the guitar is also louder in the background than U2's would be, Steven McKellar sounds alot like Bono at times, but isn't that a good thing? The similarity to U2 makes me want to listen to them more, and they remind me alot of eachother. Civil Twilight is a very new and fresh band, and will probably be huge sooner than later.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG, thanks to the movie trailers of i am number four i heard this and just had to find it. AWESOME,AWESOME song

  • Fantastic song, indeed. =D

  • where did i hear this song from?

  • @CALLMECHEDDA its in the movie I AM NUMBER FOUR

  • i was listening to this song when i got my past 2 girlfriends . . . ironic? i think not

  • Thumbs Up if I Am Number 4 Brought you Here ! :D

  • @GEEkRoBot08 lol your pretty beast for thinkin of that lmao

  • @GEEkRoBot08 THATS EXACTLY WHY I CAME,I LOVED THE SONG AT THE END AND ENDED UP LISTENING TOO THEM ALL...LOVE THIS SHIT DUDE,FAVOURITED IT AND IM GONNA MAKE THEIR SONGS MY INTRO MUSIC FOR MY CHANNEL AS IM CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO A LOT OF MUSIC,I DONT KNOW WHY BUT IT REMINDS ME OF THE GATECRASHER ANTHEMS ALBUM,MAYBE BECAUSE I FEEL EUPHORIC WHEN I HEAR THEM...

  • @GEEkRoBot08 well that is really dumb thumbs up if you agree

  • @GEEkRoBot08 The radio at Subway brought me here.. Stop with the thumbs up bullshit.

  • @GEEkRoBot08 yes sir! [ =

  • i heard this on a commercial and just guessed it was civil twilight cuz it sounded awesome

  • i typed this in randomly listened to it, AMAZING song . =D

  • This song is in one of the trailers for I am Number Four!!!!!

  • @makeupwithmarina Gawdddd, took me forever( a couple hours of searching) to track it down. Now I can rest easy. -.-

  • @MorbidMistress13 ummmmm.... lol I like it... you dont have too

  • @makeupwithmarina What are you talking about? lol

  • i am number 4 traailer brought me here

  • @barws Im SO excited for it to come out!

  • does anyone else think the lead singer sounds like isaac slade from the fray?

  • if anyone wants lyics 2 this i've posted a lyrics vid so check it out

  • i would write something clever about how so many people hit the disliek button and they are morons, but only 1 person has hit the dislike, that just shows how amazing these guys are. no haters.

  • I agree that they reminded me of Coldplay and the guy does sound kind of like Bono. However, artists always have inspired one another. So, I wouldn't say they ripped off anyone. I really like them. I heard "Letters from the sky" on Celebrity Rehab and wanted a listen!

  • I agree that they reminded me of Coldplay and the guy does sound kind of like U2. However artists always have inspired one another.  So, I wouldn't say they ripped off anyone. I really like them. I heard "Letters from the sky" on Celebrity Rehab and wanted a listen!

  • I get the whole U2 reference, but Coldplay...Come on now...I say it's a good mix between U2 and The Police

  • Civil Twilight sounds new because they are from South Africa, yes, right here. Exposure took a while. Home boys going all the way!

  • @TOBEYANNE You're really good at trolling my videos. No doubt U2 is a great band, and Coldplay is halfway decent, but don't comment on videos when you clearly don't like the band. It makes you seem like a fucking dumbass.

  • @TOBEYANNE Of course I can deny it. You can't say that bands are ripping other bands off, because if that were the case, they would get sued. And most bands nowadays sound similar, because there are so many of them, and their inspirations are greats like U2 and the Beatles. Yes, this band may have a similar sound to U2 and Coldplay, but they aren't ripping them off. You are totally entitled to your opinions, but don't post negative comments on my videos. There are other CT videos out there.

  • this TOBEYANNE bitch is retarded. Do you know how many bands sound like U2 and coldplay? I guess this idiot says the same thing about Muse and Mobile, Like when cold play first came out they sounded like oasis. Get over yourself, your clearly not the god of music so shut the fuck up. Civil Twilight is a good band.

  • @TOBEYANNE You're a useless piece of shit... You can be influenced by somone, which Civil Twilight is clearly influenced by U2 and Coldplay, but they're not ripping them off... You useless fuck there is a HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE difference. 

  • @LilithImmacualte I have reported you for harassment. If you continue to harass me, I will take further action.

  • @TOBEYANNE loooool

  • @TOBEYANNE Well obviously no one wants to fucking here your opinions so leave them to yourself asshole.

  • @KrendroHelioSystem EVERY BAND IS DIFFERENT IN THEIR OWN WAY,BESIDES,PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT AND WHAT THEY LIKE

  • @TOBEYANNE Civil twilight sounds nothing like Coldplay, dumbass. I'm a huge fan of coldplay and it couldn't sound more different.

  • @zeroforce0066 I HAD THE XXY ALBUM BEFORE IT EVEN CAME OUT,AND I LOVED IT...A FRIEND NEW SOMEONE WHO KNEW SOMEONE BLAH BLAH,BUT IT WAS GREAT AT THE TIME.

  • @OMNISLASHER1000 Wow really? If you love them so much you would be able to tell me the album is X&Y not XXY

  • @zeroforce0066 I THINK U KNOW WHAT I MEANT,BESIDES,CONSIDERING IT WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IT WAS COMING FROM SOMEONE WITH SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS ID SAY IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH,U KNEW WOT I MEANT AND IM SURE EVERYONE ELSE DOES,EVEN IF I WAS A LITTLE OF,MAYBE U SHOULDNT BE SO QUICK TOO JUDGE,AND YES,I CAN TYPE NORMALLY,IVE JUST BROKEN MY GLASSES AND I FIND IT EASIER(NOT TOO MENTION QUICKER)TYPING LIKE THIS.

  • @OMNISLASHER1000 That has absolutely no logic. How does having all capitols help you see better. Stop lying you weirdo.

  • @zeroforce0066 BECAUSE "ITS BIGGER!!!" FUCKING MORON.

  • @OMNISLASHER1000 Oh also, genius, if you have short term memory loss you only forget things from a short period previously. You said "Considering it was several years ago and it was coming from someone with short term memory loss" That makes NO sense

  • @zeroforce0066 JUST GOES TOO SHOW HOW MUCH YOU KNOW,THERE ARE DIFFERENT DEGRESS OF SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS,(ALSO GOES TOO SHOW WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE TRYING TOO TAKE THE PISS OUT OF PEOPLE WHO ARENT PERFECT"AND FAILING!!!!")"BULLY 0-BULLYBASHER 1"

  • @TOBEYANNE no dude, if seriously speaking, I don't think Civil Twilight is ripping off from U2 OR coldplay. Definitely not from U2. There is a "taste" of coldplay in their songs, definitely, probably because of the similar vocal on both bands. But Civil Twilight somehow..is different. Something is, not sure what. I just like them, and don't feel the same way towards coldplay or U2. That means something. doesn't it ?

  • @ReverieInvictus  LOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • @TOBEYANNE In someway I do agree with you. they share a same sound with U2. but hey its just our opinion.

  • @TOBEYANNE is it weird to say i agree with both of u

  • the music and lyrics are perfection

  • thank you. such a great band. ever since i first heard their song letters from the sky on the show harpers island, i fell in love with this band. amazing. <3

  • Wow! Just heard them on XM and thought finaly U2 produced a great song first time in years and i got up to look at what song it was on Which Album and check the suddenly better U2. But to much my Delight its a new Band! Awesome song. The guitar effects are beyond cool and what The Edge woould like to do if he freed himself from the Boner

  • Is this band old? cuz i just discovered deir amazingness...oh nd is it juzt me or was diz song on new moon?

  • @XoxoseleneXoxo

    No, they're new. Just about a year or so old. No idea if it was on New Moon or not.

  • @ReverieInvictus they actually started in 1996 but yes your right, they only recently debuted (srry if i kinda sound like a 'know it all' but idk thought i shld say it

  • @Vthewolf1

    Eh, they started as Civil Twilight 3-4 years ago, but before that, they were known as The View and even before that they were known as Superfine. They were known as Superfine back in '96.

  • @XoxoseleneXoxo I think this song was in New Moon.

  • @xlChudbucketlx free concert??? danget it i missed it!

  • Found these guys from the radio ^.~ first song i heard from them? Letters from the Sky. Amazing Song. They have amazingly good beats and vocals. If you listen to them. They better become big. Because to me they already are. Thank you 94.5 :DD

  • These guys were fantastic live last night at the Sound Academy.... :) So glad I went

  • i liked these guys in the 80's when they were called U2

  • @mixethebeat haha i found them the same way, and i agree this song is amazing

  • @AlternativeRyman ME TOO!!! haha 

  • sounds just like "old time" U2.

    this is A-OK!!!.

  • So many people and bands tried to imitate U2, but this is just his copy. No, this might be better than U2, this is amazing. Civil Twilight, I am officially your number 1 fan.

  • they are amazing!

  • THEY ARE PLAYING AT MY SCHOOL IN AN HOUR!!!!!! :) So excited

  • this is SO U2! nice...

  • What a rich and hypnotic sound !!

  • They sound great. I hear a kinda U2 thing in their sound.

  • Heard this on the radio today, i was like this is deff civil twilight, it has a letters from the sky feel to it which i love, i hate when they splice up songs for a radio version though, they always cut out awesome parts

  • Its a really exciting time to follow this band. They are on the verge of breaking out, and we get to sit back and watch it all unfold.

  • this is my favorite CT song! thanks for posting! for the longest time on Youtube the only other post of this was live & the sound quality was terrible (not CT, but the recorder sucked) & the people at the show were yapping too. can't believe they didn't shut up and listen to this great song! anyway, thanks again!

  • I saw them last Friday, and if it's possible, they're even better live. <3

  • awesome song i would love to do a video to this =]

  • @xlChudbucketlx dumbass :P 

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • yeah i just saw them in albany ny... really good.. interesting ways of playing their instruments too... and the best.. it was a free show!

  • I agree with the one who said, that the lead singer sounds like Bono. I dare to say, that this is even a better Bono, as he hasn't been ruined by the Big Company yet. Yet.

  • This song was amazing live last night (west Palm) If you get the chance to go see them and Paper Tongues, they are both awesome bands live!!!!!

  • @tcap8055 i am so jealous of u! i want to see them live! ....and i want their cd...

  • @ninnyfishbub thanks to Pandora.  Great song. Great lads from So. Africa. Killer sound for sure.
