Alex Clare - Too Close (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[shivamau5]

what genre is this basically?

[b4ssiebues]

@shivamau5 i think music should not always be boxed in by giving it a genre but i think this is some sort of combination of pop and dubstep

[firsthandklutchfilms]

[itinho247]

I NEED MOAR MUSIC LIKE THISSSSSSSSSS

[91nikolai91]

horrible fighting!

[Toaderson109]

@91nikolai91

Yes! As a kendoist, I firmly agree.

[DPirateKing]

ocelote FTW!!

[Lio4163]

So Powerfull

Lovely !

[LumpiniSeng]

Love the fighting in this! Some Kendo people need to relax a bit. This is not documentary. Are Kendo people in a cult?

[Ardian1899]

@LumpiniSeng, dunno about the others, but I'm relax and enjoying the music while trying to say the fighting scene should be better, especially if it's really intended as kendo fighting since they're wearing kendo armors.

[mevOFF]

@alexclare hey^^ do u know if i could get an instrumental version of this...I want to sing it on x factor ;)

[Kickksboxer]

@Toaderson109 you sir, are a tool.

[Toaderson109]

@Kickksboxer

First off, I'm not a "sir." I'm a girl. Second of all, what do you mean?

[Kickksboxer]

@Toaderson109 just enjoy the music.

[x1DutchGirl]

Great lyrics and song! (+Holland's Got Talent, Zinzi en Evert-Jan <3)

[Haydun]

wow ninja's and dubstep!!!!

[koberocksaa]

The songs sick. But can someone explain the video to me..?

[Adronomics]

This song is too fucking siiick

[bhpucsb]

I guess gingers do have souls?

[MckenzieFourCross]

Soul + dubstep + samurai's + Ginger bearded dude = awesomeness.

[blllondje]

a-m-a-z-i-n-g

[Toaderson109]

For the record, Kendo is not usually that dramatic...

[OnashiMan]

@Toaderson109 it may not be used that dramatically in the normal situations of training, but this ain't one of these :P

[Toaderson109]

@OnashiMan

Yes, but the Kendo in this cracks me up. They were wearing SHOES for crying out loud ! :D I mean, all they would have to do is google "Kendo" to find that we do Kendo barefooted.

I actually got the link to this video from the Kendo forum. People were making fun of it. The song is good, but for those of that do Kendo, the Kendo is HILARIOUS!

[semenski90]

Soulstep

[rinske223]

HOLLAND;D

[Martijn00095]

to good fore words

[abderrahmaneelboukha]

love it love it love it

[mrkarpiuk]

Im like this mean good job !! :) !! 

[tommekkeuhh]

tis song never get boring

[KrutNallen]

Listening to random music on the internet, then sharting your pants when the dubstep drops in from nowhere.

[x1DutchGirl]

Zinzi en Evert-Jan in de Holland's Got Talent finale! <3 Op dit nummer deden ze hun adembenemende acrobaten act. :D

[x1DutchGirl]

@x1DutchGirl Btw, great song too! xD Especially love the beginning: 0:00-0:31 and 1:48-2:02. :)

[1mrgrandpa1]

1:15<'3 so fukn love this song

[dyaro2000]

I have really hard time, heartbroken...damn, this song makes the shit even harder. But its amazing...

[001720BC]

@dyaro2000 Hold on tight... Everything will be ok, no matter how bad you feel now.

[InValidejr]

As Seen On: AudioPorn Central haha

[MrBashy1989]

Wow i got goosebumps when the dubstep dropped........love it!!!

[CrazedJazz]

FYI those are not ninja's, just suit's for Kendo and sparring etc.

[thecookiemonster2478]

bit like ed sheeran in the fact that hes got a great voice nd great music but hes not so goodlookking ha x

[MaOs69cy]

wait.............these guys aint ninjas! ninjas are invisible! duh!

[christiaanput]

i cant believe it only has half a million views :|

[GypsySifu]

Boxers seem to have no problem with the action in "Rocky" not being genuine. JKD practitioners accept that "Enter the Dragon" s fights are not a true reflection of Bruce Lee's art. Wing Chun guys love "Ip Man", and Karateka don't get worked up about Daniel & Miyagi's suspect crane kick... It's sad so many kendoka are commenting in a way which does not present martial artists in a positive light.

It's a fantastic music video for a great track - not a documentary.

[Ardian1899]

@GypsySifu, those movies except that crane kick are awesomely done. It's clear that you're not a kendoka, because u couldn't "see" how awful are these scenes. The "kendo" shows here is simply as awful as how Mr Bean beat his judo teacher, the difference is, this clip is not a comedy, I mean it. The song and the vocal are awesome, perhaps that's why we kendoka are expecting more.

[HelloKittyFist]

@Ardian1899 U are wrong.

[Ardian1899]

@HelloKittyFist, wrong? which part of my comment?

[mcp893]

my friend was like listin to this i was like wtf who is this loser, fine fine.........so glad I did hes awsome

[mushispalt]

awesome song

press 3 it looks so F**** EPIC



[PlayGirlie1992]

i like his voice, and the ginger hair just totally does it for me

[RaffiMcNaffi]

wow this is amazing :) i love it

[Lone38]

Ewwwww, complete shit, what they are showing. You think it`s the armor and the sword, what make you a kendoka? No, you dumb idiots.

[rousha45]

this song remember me in sasuke and naruto :p

[GettoBux]

Thank you Alex!

[podderzz]

@theYvenn oh shit got wrong song dude yeah it is hahah, i ment up all night :D

[Zuuwa1]

Im listening to it for the first time and I REALLY LIKE IT!!!

[eshmx]

Give the 3000th like, happy with that

[androgynouselephant]

thank you iTunes for making this single of the week :)

[TheDogos7]

A MASTER PIECE!!!!!!! Heard this song in a shop and it got me 3 months to finally find it!

[BeckleyHD]

never herd off u before but the best song i have ever herd for a while :)

[podderzz]

lol its not even a dub-step beat. alex clare is and actual artist :D love his music x

[TheYvenn]

@podderzz it is.

[debiru79]

WORST abuse of kendo EVER!!! Not one thing is even close to the real thing, the director of this video must be retarded for not doing any research at all,.. Songwise I won't complain though... Too bad the whole experience is tainted by this AWFUL video.

[Shinovian]

@debiru79 haters gonna hate

[NTI1]

@debiru79 lol faggot

[alexanderclaire]

@debiru79 get a life bruv, seriously.

[FlacidNever]

Excellent voice! Why dont all of you just listen to the song, instead of trying to find what genre this is? Just enjoy the music!

[MrCaptinkool]

wow awesome song , loved all of it, but what has it got to do with two ninjas fighting?

[supercar97]

the chorus ruins the whole song, he has a great voice and the first bit is really good but the way it slows down at the chorus is really depressing

[jillgor3]

this song is perfect

[KarimBaki]

why is evryone talking about dubstep.never mind lol

[KarimBaki]

why is evryone talking about dubstep

[welliemanx]

dubstep- like getting with a really fit girl. His voice- like realising this girl also has an awesome personality. This guys gonna be big, what a song! luv it!

[flypapi2envy]

So the Adele style is catching on. Sitting on a chair in a plain room singing while there's masked people dancing around, in this case fighting =P

[JeroenTube100]

Crossover between Dubstep and Soul!

Awesome song

[AHwolters]

I would call it a crossover between Dubstep and ???

[lt1eg6]

I'm a self proclaimed dubstep elitist that takes the piss out of all the wibble wobble shit and deride people for listening to it, but this is a fine fine specimen of a dubstep/lyrical amalgamation. awesome awesome stuff. Love it.

[EpicAbos]

this video have all things, which a good dubstep video need!

good singer

ninja's/samurai's? :D

and a nice drop. :o

[stupidjunk978]

WHo??????

[KemiiSu]

This guy has such a great voice, you should check out his album. Found Island Records which found a lot of talent.

[IDolange]

The dubstep just makes this song that bit more epic... :D

[judderman10]

It's better than Dubstep. I think it's fantastic.

[9GirL4]

dubstep feeling ... <3 :P

[IHzDx]

This was amazing live, one of the best lovebox songs imo

[ineedaladder]

dubstep and sword fighting go together like peanut butter and jelly. love this collab!

[Hukamujiriki]

There just aint much out there yet... I really like his acoustic version of this song here on youtube... killer!

[BeachStinger]

@Hukamujiriki He has 12 songs... You should support him by getting the album, that's if you like his music :)

i got his album, intact i Pre-ordered it and got a signed copy :)))

[DJFootie]

[daveZaiyajin]

[dzstyles0]

@daveZaiyajin of course NOT mate

[ConorJArtistOfficial]

Why have I only just discovered this guy? This song is immense!! I thank iTunes, for putting this as their Single Of The Week! Deffo going to check out his album! :D

[KelvinsVids]

my mind told me to search 'close' in the search bar... i did and saw this, one way or another clicked and waited the whole intro without knowing it was dubstep...

And then... woosh.

[zigmar7]

Sounds more or less like typical MTV shit

[GrunerPfeffer]

@zigmar7 that is because it is typical MTV lolz, MTV made this song big, does not mather to me though i like it xD

[biscuitisadog]
