Okay, but seriously, the actor playing the reporter is SERIOUSLY under appreciated here, like he JUST PLAYS A REPORTER REALLY WELL. all the facial expressions, the gestures, the movements, he just does it so convincingly!

People are calling him a reporter but hes clearly addressing an audience and looking around while he speaks, I think its supposed to be a politician or something along those lines giving their rehearsed speech.

[@sealpup9341]

completely agree with you on this one, i just scrolled down and was a little shocked that people thought of him as a reporter. Either that or current events have shifted the meaning of the video. Which from a social aspect, absolutely fascinating.

[@liamcurtis9533]

yeah this video didn’t age well given the events, at least here in the UK. even the lyrics are so relatable. this coupled with Doom Days, Blame and World Gone Mad sum this year up

[@l_j_c_5397]

I think it’s meant to be David Cameron

[@Neightr0]

I've always assumed that he was meant to be the CEO of Wild World Communications. Kind of surprised that no one else has said the same, but it probably doesn't matter that much. I think we're just meant to know that he is some highly influential individual. I always interpreted him as 'faking it' on behalf of WWCOMMS, most likely for his own wealth and/or power: corporate and insincere. WWCOMMS don't seem like they're good news. Maybe he's meant to be delivering a public apology for (or at least response to) something he or the company did?

Lyrics: And I don't think that that's a selfish want, I really don't. I'm not saying that I have this capacity because it's hard to develop that capacity on your own, when you're being stopped at every turn. Drive around, night time, nowhere to go Melt me down, I'm like wax to your jokes Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low And there's no point reliving crimes to lose this Still wanna waste all of my time I wanna waste all of my time Still wanna waste all of my time I wanna waste all of my time With you Oh my lover, my lover, my love We can never go back We can only do our best to recreate Don't turn over, turn over the page We should rip it straight out Then let's try our very best to fake it Show me joy, flower through disarray Let's destroy, each mistake that we made Then restore the color back to the grey There's no pride in sharing scars to prove it...

What does the scrolling text on the bottom in all the different languages mean? The Japanese is a bunch of idioms and metaphorical phrases. Is the stuff in the other languages similar? If anyone's curious, here's a translation of the Japanese phrases in the order they scroll across: Sowing and reaping evil Using a better name to sell inferior goods Ignorance is bliss Once a fool, always a fool Dumplings over flowers (meaning the practical over the beautiful) Honesty is the best policy To direct things from behind the scenes, or to pull a puppets strings I don't remember the meaning of the last one, but it literally means don't feed autumn eggplant to your wife

I have this very same symbol tattooed. I didn’t get it for any other reason beyond I liked the design but it’s interesting to learn that it has a rich history. Unfortunately I have been asked before if it’s a nazi symbol but I supposed the Germans stole quite a few old symbols back then.

Where do they get their inspiration from? They have fresh ideas for each song and the video (if there is one) ties in so well. Even when I don't imagine the video as it turns out to be, I still see how cleverly they have visually represented the song. Even though sometimes I have to rewatch the vudeot a few times to fully understand it.

[@hankparts7368]

Intro The song’s intro is a voiceover sampled from a 1971 short film “Social Seminar: Changing.” The woman says, “And I don’t that that’s a selfish want. I really don’t. I’m not saying that I have this capacity because it’s hard to develop that capacity on your own, when you’re being stopped at every turn.” This quote forecasts one topic of the song: the inability to grow in a relationship when it feels like the relationship itself is what’s keeping you from growing. Verse 1 At the beginning of the sung portion of “Fake It,” Dan Smith sings, “Drive around, nighttime, nowhere to go.” He’s spending time with the person, “killing time” with her. There’s no purpose to their wanderings-they think being together should be enough. But their relationship isn’t what it used to be, and she’s begun making fun of him to his face, so much so that he sings, “Melt me down, I’m like wax to your jokes.” And the relationship has put Smith through a figurative blender of experiences and emotions: “Lost and found, knocking heads, laying low.” At the end of it all, he’s unsure if there’s a “point reliving crimes to lose this,” by which he means he wonders if fighting about it to bring closure to the relationship would be worth it-maybe it would just be easier to “fake it.” Pre-Chorus Here, Bastille tells us, “Still wanna waste all of my time / I wanna waste all of my time / With you,” suggesting that maybe he feels it’s not time for the relationship to end (or at least that he’d rather it not end). He still wants the relationship, and he wishes for how it used to be. Chorus But it seems that keeping the relationship would be impossible: “Oh, my lover, my lover, my love / We can never go back.” The relationship has gotten to a point that it feels ruined and hopeless. Bastille’s lead singer tells the woman that “[w]e can only do our best to recreate.” They can pretend like the relationship is as strong as it once was. Dan Smith tells her, “Don’t turn over, turn over the page,” by which he means, “Don’t move on to the next thing or leave me.” But he adds, “We should rip it straight out.” He wants them both to acknowledge that they can’t go back to what they had but that he still wants them to do their “very best to fake it.” They can pretend like they have the love they once had, but it still feels hopeless to him. Verse 2 The second verse is Bastille describing how the narrator wants the relationship to be faked, how he would be satisfied with a copy of joy instead of actually having it. Dan Smith sings, “Show me joy, flower through disarray / Let’s destroy each mistake we made.” They can create a copy of their original relationships and emotionlessly ignore the mistakes and try to enjoy only the good while the mirage lasts. They will “restore the color back to the grey”-give it life again-because “[t]here’s no pride in sharing scars to prove it.” The failure of the relationship makes him so sad that he’d rather ignore the truth and live in fake beauty for a little while. Bridge The bridge nicely sums up the entire meaning of “Fake It.” Dan Smith sings, “Help me turn a blind eye / Days and nights we lost to weakness.” Here he acknowledges that they have ruined the relationship themselves and that he wants to keep pretending it wasn’t their fault and that the relationship is still beautiful even though he knows both of those aren’t true. Deeper thoughts on the meaning of “Fake It” by Bastille I don’t think that the song writer actually wants to keep faking the relationship. I think he knows that would be unhealthy, but that makes this song more powerful because it’s a truer expression of the huge emotional need/desire welling up in him as he contemplates a relationship lost that he really wishes he and the other person hadn’t messed up. He’s sad he wasted the opportunity due to his own “weakness,” and he’d like to ignore the truth of what he’s done and simply pretend like the relationship is still fun, happy, and strong. I understand what Dan Smith and Bastille are saying here. I’ve ruined things before, and I’d much rather ignore the truth of my own fault or the terribleness of the situation than accept those and have to move on-to do the much harder thing. It’s a human situation we all have to deal with, and it’s difficult. That being said, I think this kind of open, emotional sharing on Bastille’s part shows a depth of song meaning that you don’t usually see in popular music. Dan Smith doesn’t blame only the other party, acknowledges his guilt, and (by writing the song in the first place) shows he knows the truth of the situation. That Bastille and Dan Smith can separate the ideas of deep desire from the ideas of what actually should be done deepens the song meaning and invites further listener introspection and self-consideration after listening to such a song.

my thoughts..explained !

[@vitezslav.lindovsky]

Thank you, this is what I was looking for!

[@richardhitchcock634]

The best bit is at 2:11 where the make up person, presumably retreats. And the politician who has been laughing at her jokes suddenly, but subtly, drops his smile and looks ta her with contempt. Showing he has been 'faking it'

[@zlatamilova]

"Не давши слово - крепись, а давши - держись." The semantic translation of this russian proverb is something like "Promise is debt". And as for "Раз солгал, навек лгуном стал" that is "He that deceives is ever suspected".

[@MiriamGallacher]

i think the music video is meant to portray how modern day politicians constantly put on a front and essentially 'fake' their confidence in the decisions they make. then, behind the scenes, they are panicking and stressed with no idea how to handle the situation except to put on a smile when the camera's rolling. this would also make sense as dan tweets a lot about british politics and seems very disillusioned by it. although this way of 'faking it' doesn't necessarily fit in with the lyrics, i think it definitely is another way of seeing the title.

[@ontheperkys]

Another theory is that it's a reporter/journalist, not a politician. Most people are saying that the reporter wants to say what he really thinks is right, how he feels, or even what is the truth, but has to put that aside and say what's on the teleprompter, fake the smiles. I'm a fan of both theories.

Though this doesn't only have to mean with politicians, journalists, or any social figure. This also represents how every day many many many people have to fake a smile, but when people look away they drop it because they can't do it anymore, just how it happened with the makeup lady.

I don't really see how it's a concept though. 'Faking it' was conceptualised thousands of years ago, back when we began to lie as a species.

+Vince Oh I understand where you are coming from, its hard for me to explain.

i thought this was a love song... then Bastille upload a video that obviously doesn't talk about love... 😶 (still love it)

[@jbarren14]

It could still be interpreted as a love song because Bastille makes music videos that almost never correspond with the lyrics. Like "Oblivion", "Pompeii", "Good Grief", "Of the Night", and "Fake It". The song lyrics in this song do seem to imply that Dan is talking about his lover, or maybe he really is talking about a news reporter who is slowing going mad who is forced to fake it for the camera and that forces him to go mad. Because only the artist will truly be able to understand the intended message within their art. Welp that's just my opinion, but the great thing about art is that one can interpret it 1,000 different ways. Bastille is my favorite band and I'm glad that we can enjoy this music together.

[@HarrisonJames]

+Jack Iribarren i'm pretty sure this isn't just about a single news reporter faking it. I think it's subtlety hinting at how everyone has to fake stuff to make it better but it's a different story behind the scenes.

[@aleo557]

Jelly Rolls 3rd glorys my second ky first is way beyond

[@alexandrahamm3343]

i have “recreate” tattooed on my wrist because of this music video. it reminds me of how it feels when you overcome something really hard that no one knows; and the relief hits you like the sunlight hit him and you can finally exhale

[@nikstreams3408]

Why isn't this song bigger? Never came to understand. Definitely the best voice of this generation

[@cyberdemonv2390]

one of the most underrated songs ever

[@fffuckup]

heard this playing in h&m and now I'm obsessed

[@Braidiketopic]

[@damnitjanet9724]

[@Sunflowerbeca]

[@Tom-sm2rd]

+Melissa Turland omg I thought the same ahaha

[@tahneeamber9867]

My god this video. Perfect. So brilliantly put together every single element, and you see new things every time you watch it. That acting also, it doesn't get much better than that. 10/10

[@LAVISHING]

Very 1984 style video. Love this video!

[@reireiclemente]

Tenho um problema sério com esta banda, porra, vcs são muito bons!

[@saposardento]

Mesmo!

[@tvseries8116]

Brazil rules

[@sorryicantthinkofacoolname7209]

this is my first Bastille song, and I know nothing about it, so, before watching this video, I thought it was a generic song about relationships.

[@minimoo2686]

Were you prepared for how good they are??

[@sorryicantthinkofacoolname7209]

+maisie moo I dove I to the song totally blind, so I was not prepared for anything. I haven't listened to any other of their songs yet, but this one sounds amazing.

[@minimoo2686]

+sorry, i cant think of a cool name name Aw I so recommend listening to their other songs there first album is just amaaazing 🙊

[@minimoo2686]

+sorry, i cant think of a cool name name all their videos are pretty crazy like this one 😊 haha

[@sorryicantthinkofacoolname7209]

+maisie moo yeah, I'll do that when I have time. it feels so great when we find new music we like.

[@AhmedAli-bc3rn]

Não me canso de ouvir essa música. Bastille, uma banda que me encantou desde o primeiro momento e só fica melhor. Dá pra sentir a energia que sai de cada música, parabéns, vocês são maravilhosos

[@Lucky-lr3us]

This actor is fabulous 🔥🔥

[@Rob_Cary]

There are so many songs I feel like should have been the big one that represents what this band is to the masses more than Pompeii...and this is definately one of them.

[@Grebree]

I think this politician guy or whoever he is is the same person at the beginning of "Send The Off" (You can see him at the top right corner on a giant screen). He says "It was a slight on my honor, so he deserved it. But we're talking about the most brilliant mind this world has ever seen!" If I'm right, it might give some insight to the possible meanings of this video. :)

[@irritableizzy]

This is a really great video, especially for the events unfolding currently... Damn Bastille, you are not gonna make me regret preordering the new album

[@barbaguillermo1]

the new album os gonna be soo good 🙌❤

[@sicilyedts4245]

Every time i see this I cant help but to smile. Not only is this song great but the actor lip singing is incredible. I need to meet this man and give him a high five.

[@kaecidehnert5022]

this man's acting is phenomenal.

[@inspiration_5877]

1.92 Million views? This song has those good vibes that I love especially since my headphones pickup bass.

[@ellalouise2684]

I'm yet to hear a song by Bastille which i don't like

[@jellyrolls2765]

their titanium cover :(

[@fearthainn2666]

Jelly Rolls i was about to post it

[@Karlywoo_Plays]

the same

[@anonymousperson2247]

+Ella Louise: I could not agree more!

[@shrooms2021]

Campus is meh, but all their other songs are amazing

[@dylantelford5520]

He had me crying when i saw them live at leeds

[@qtlauryn6378]

Dylan Telford same!

[@marcialeite5869]

I love the quotes in the beginning of these songs! Can't get over it, so I listen to them all over again. Bastillle is awesome!!!

[@sonthems45229]

Used to dedicate this song to my crush The day he was in another relationship broke me Looking back at those days, it's funny and sad at the same time. As i grew older i realised how to have a strong heart and not to be obsessed over something you cant get

[@alejadelvalle]

Great voice and I love this song. 👌

[@janiceflett4537]

Dan did not age with grace.

[@strange_germ2058]

Sadly no. He lost the rad hair too ;-;😂

[@kabird.5493]

aaaahhhh good one

[@WhisperedShadow123]

Haha. You're great.

[@lyneisacarter1073]

It took me a second to get it!

[@sirisxxx]

KKK

[@Ekrylia]

Dan looks older in this mv lmao

[@jessieb5572]

Yea bc it's been so long

[@os3720]

+Jessie B lol

[@carlicc117]

I love the acting! Very cool!

[@maxskellington910]

This song is kind how I imagine the Doctor's time with Missy was. They had known each other since they were kids, and they knew that they could never fix their relationship completely, so they tried to recreate it, and when Missy was crying in front of the Doctor, showing remorse, he thought she was faking it to impress him.

[@pamelagoncalves1407]

ÍCONES DEMAIS!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@brandonnesmith8051]

s/o to the actor for being able to make so many interesting and descriptive faces tho

[@lostalive796]

I don't think Bastille is capable of putting out a bad song. SO good. We just covered "Doom Days" :) x

[@lovisamaanmies2983]

Dan's voice is absolutely incredible!

[@ElizaBethhh1000]

How powerful of a message. Love this band!
