Birds of Tokyo - Circles (Official video)

[@MusicalAndTall]

This is amazing. The video is not confusing. The song is about repetition, frustration, anger, doing the same thing day after day after day and not knowing what to do. The bird is a metaphor for someone that is out of place and who doesn't fit in the hectic world we live in.

[@johncuellar117]

*Interesting...*

[@filipvc5107]

And depression too I think... But yes, nailed it ;)

[@Pavitr_prabhakar_soup]

FINALLY, I FOUND THE SONG THAT HAS BEEN HAUNTING MY CHILDHOOD MY WHOLE LIFE, AND I STILL LOVE IT!!!!🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

[@Screaminbeamin]

Same! I remember this song from like 10 years ago and I've been trying to find it forever

[@Nutsferatu]

​​@@ScreaminbeaminI actually bought the album the same year it came out 2010 or 2011. I was a depressed 17 year old at the time. 31 now and getting better 😊

[@Hurinthings]

@@Nutsferatu29 and still depressed 😂

[@Pavitr_prabhakar_soup]

This song is the most nostalgic in the most special towards me, because that was when I went trick-or-treating with my father, when I was still in Texas before we move to Colorado, and that’s the only time when I would spend Halloween with him, brings back so many good memories, going through a lot of family issues, and this song is just the one that always comforts me my whole life, I would listen to it over and over like in a “circle”😢

[@shitney420]

this song/video deserves way more views.

[@Quantum_Zebra]

It really does

[@howdy000]

I know right?! Let's keep sharing it :)

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

Haunting. I didn't even know this song had a music video, but now I think I'm never going to be able to hear it the same way again.

[@charon000]

This is such a beautiful song from a brilliant album.

[@rockchapelboy92]

Home and Away picks great music. Love this song. :)

[@hexus761]

best aussie band period. i love you guys. keep on creating. march fires changed my life.

[@Quantum_Zebra]

One of my all time favorite songs...

[@thebeachhunter3750]

Still one of my favourite songs, reminds me of chilling on the beach in WA.

[@mattbrough516]

best aussie band since INXS

[@robin9997]

Bloody oath mate

[@Macconator2010]

Yea, definitely my fav Aussie band - Powderfinger though, don't forget about ol' Powderfinger.

[@vilxx253]

true

[@LJMpictures]

Nah his other band Karnivool) Is better. look at "All i know"

[@kurnen79]

indeed. How they never reached fame in the US Bush is anyone's guess. 2021 and they are a classic.

[@Nazgull123]

Definitely my favourite birds of tokyo song.

[@brendan722002]

This song has been up for over 10 years ... I feel old!

[@christopher-miles]

yessir. ...a decade ago we walked the great ocean road with this and dead letter circus blasting of a nokia! walked for hours after a new years party. best and worst night. nostalgia is a bitch

[@samueljoseph8301]

I'm from the UK, and how come this song is underrated like seriously

[@telebruel]

One of my favourite songs of all time

[@Gingerzengaming]

Last time you guys came to the us, my grandmother saw you in Houston, almost ten years has gone by since she passed and I count the days that I can see you guys here❤

[@shanmags7862]

Very underated song. I miss the times when this song used to play in MTV :(

[@damonbilling7746]

This song is like Tycho, with lyrics. Such a calm, powerful, emotional song.

[@RemagAi]

I'm from Australia, and I think that Birds of Tokyo are the best West Australian band. In some parts of Australia you do find a couple bird man people, this one is famous actor, you can really see the sadness on his face.

[@SuperFunky73]

This song was a song on Home and Away. it so matches it.

[@shaanpowerrangers5273]

I Want More Birds Of Tokyo

[@jebbyman1012]

this song is amazing. I can't believe it isn't big yet, i feel that this is by far their best song :)

[@Happy994ful]

can relate so much to this song

[@robin9997]

Top tune from a top band, simple as!

[@castorz3]

I'm being followed by my shadow He's been creeping around Asking where I've been He keeps tapping on my shoulder Telling me it's over So where do I begin? These dark days are getting harder I feel I'm treading water So will I sink or swim Roll on, push a little further I keep saying is this worth it Or should I just give in I don't know I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin In this circle And I won't waste my time on your concern 'Til it's over I look back on a distant border I fear I'm getting older There's so much that I missed Walk on following a fate line See if I can define Where I came undone I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin In this circle And I won't waste my time on your concern 'Til it's over And I will wait my turn My time will come This ain't over And I can't wait no more No sweet return This is over So it is (No sweet return) So it is (No sweet return) So it is (No sweet return) So it is (No sweet return) This is over.

[@NeptuneFog]

Thank you!

[@ranDom73100]

Very touching song! Feels relatable with a Traumatic past . CPtsd sufferer

[@DeadSideDad]

end of the song still makes me tear up. Such a great song!

[@angelinec.9190]

This is one of my favorite songs! I love it so much!

[@Mohkiainen]

Have been listening only this song for last 2 days. I feel horrible,mentally. (>_

[@PINEx2]

HOW IS THIS SONG NOT A LEGENDARY HIT??

[@93limabean]

Damn, he has a beautiful voice.

[@michaelbalzan2260]

You should check out the band he was in previously, it's called Karnivool. I reckon you'll love it. Their albums "Themata" and "Sound Awake" are amazing

[@nickanesthetized3381]

Great. Reminds me the Steven Wilson's "Harmony Korine" video.

[@nathandublya]

@Quickanator I agree - this song had me hooked and pulls at your heart strings from the get go....I love it...

[@jmh123456]

@keybirdking think you should have left your comment here says exactly what most of us are thinking! Much love to all the Birds

[@whittaker007]

Holy shit, 10 years late to the party. Better late than never I guess! I had no idea the Karnivool singer had another band, I really liked them from back in the day.

[@lucasacosta4472]

Found this song watching a Leigh Halfpenny tribute video, it gives me chills!

[@Husam660]

I'm being followed by my shadow He's been creeping around Asking where I've been He keeps tapping on my shoulder Telling me it's over So where do I begin? These dark days are getting harder I feel I'm treading water So will I sink or swim Roll on, push a little further I keep saying is this worth it Or should I just give in I don't know I don't know which way I'm supposed to spin In this circle And I won't waste my time on your concern 'Til it's over :(

[@howdy000]

The ending is like an ear orgasm :) no sweet return.. till this is over

[@markboshoff3724]

Wow........Great Band!!

[@KeaneAddict]

This song is used in Episodes of Home And Away quite often. That's where i first heard it.

[@13dirty666]

One of the best things about home and away is it's respect for Australian music.

[@KeaneAddict]

Also notice that they use London Grammar songs too sometimes even though they are not Australian which is good.

[@zachsingh1]

Episode 5330 u can first hear it when Casey walks into the sea. Brilliant.

[@rockmelon93]

Beautiful

[@casshern34]

Reckon this be their best..

[@DrkVce]

I used to LOVE those freakin' top things as a kid, ahhh memories!

[@TheCyprusX]

This song reminds me of Karnivool soooo much . What an amazing singer Ian Kenny is .

[@shelan0909]

Sick song!!

[@grassyknoley]

Beautiful Song

[@nrwalsh]

Underrated song

[@samaralyn200]

I live in Australia tyvm.

[@williamcooper8599]

ok, if I find it I'll be sure to post it, I love this song btw!

[@厳選高級お湯]

昔観たホラー映画、 この曲が主題歌だった。 映画の内容は忘れてしまったが、 この曲と当時の幸せは忘れていない。

[@teamwebsterz]

awesome

[@caseymatty893]

Beautiful 👌

[@Mooresy8711]

Crank this song, It will take you to another dimension.

[@kaspa5]

how can one not like this song?

[@Teskue]

I love Ian's voice, Karnivool is awesome also.

[@Joeteor]

Love it

[@Brid2k10xx]

OMG i

[@Haloplayer20]

It seems there is some confusion as to where this is shot. It is shot in and around Las Vegas. Note the Vega skyline at 2:50 and the Hoover Dam Bypass at 1:53.

[@sqwashsilver]

That bird is basically me

[@DirkK81]

Brilliant

[@scs428]

holy shit i love this song

[@remyremyshane9492]

this song belongs to my favourite songs :)

[@skudfeltodrumhead]

ahhh love it :)

[@xerces06]

I know exactly how you feel my bird friend

[@Claymish]

Oh yes.

[@liamguinane]

Can't you just tell that Ian came up this idea. :) I love it though. The false cetto in the chorus starts to sounds almost bird-like with the visual aid.

[@KianJorry]

The hotel is at the southern end of the Vegas strip its a real dump. Looks the same now as it did back when this clip was shot. This is the best song BOT has came out with. Sorry guys but your latest songs dont have the emotion circles has. Great song and for those who understand it a great film clip.

[@ookiss00]

@GSratm the bird mask is for birds of tokyo

[@jamware007]

Vegas - Hoover Dam great area to take the video......

[@DirkK81]

Does anyone know what the "original" music video's song meaning is? (EDC - Pássaros) Is it in Portugese or something? For me, the BOT version fits in perfectly with the actual meaning of the song.

[@ipropolis]

@littlelionkid I know u can understand... BTW, congrats for ur perfect english. Peace!!

[@SweetBethyBoo]

@rockchapelboy92 haha did you find it through home and away too ?? :D

[@Stressingisforlosers]

At 0:53 he realises that the phone isn't going to reach his beak and mouth at the same time.

[@lockyb72]

The real, untold story and the sadness of "Budgie Smuggling".

[@SnowingWolfGirl]

Why are Australian bands so damn good?

[@EprilSiDragon]

I like how this video has the same concept as Bring Me the Horizon's "The Comedown": A humanoid creature trying to make its way in a human world. Only difference is BMTH chose a monstrous alien, while BoT chose a bird XD

[@shreykathuria]

+Epril “Kate” SiDragøn Please go watch Harmony Korine by Steven Wilson.

[@alanhope8046]

BOT's best song ever

[@Proloco47chev]

i like waiting for the wolves. do a clip for that!

[@grassyknoley]

@ecermusic what is H&A?

[@tbaldersheim6508]

😊😊😊

[@Benjamin-gr6es]

OH MY GOSH IM SCARED NOW =O

[@brendon1957]

Can anyone tell me the name of the bridge in the video please? Cheers :-)

[@PatBowden]

Where was this filmed?

[@cotefigueroa]

My fave from the album, great song, quality sound could be better

[@binary1017]

Story of my life

[@TaintMcNubs]

call me crazy but it could have been a form of inspiration as i highly doubt a video with a birdman is their career defining moment.

[@TheAlaethea]

Nevada I think, you can see LV and Hoover Dam

[@siobhanecook]

it made me sad for the bird, it isn't fair that just cause he's different he should be lonely. I wanted him to find a friend or something at the end. Being different isn't a bad thing, I would prefer to be me and be alone. Differences made us unique. You were born an individual, don't die a copy. "You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you cause you're all the same" - Lady GaGa

[@marianadeaguiar]

EDC?

[@madpiscesdisease]

@rodr1gosm1le Hmm I saw the vid of that other band (not sure which language they're singing in), but I just want to say that I loved that track, so thanks for hooking me up! I mean, this tune is great, but I actually preferred the eagle one!

[@Kerfuffleinahussle]

@Pengi67676 I think it's just representative of the fact that the man/bird doesn't fit in right. They probably just used a bird as the symbol because of their band name.

[@LOL_Lab11]

Who cares about the film clip this is one hell of a Aussie band BOT and Karnivool yeah

[@Claymish]

Note, this was shot in California.

[@gecko2716]

Good song................Hopless Video just hopeless you couldn't be serious

[@ScalerWave]

I'm sure that there is a giant Parakeet woman out there who feels the same way.

[@tjstapes]

@taintedchick i know yeh ha i heard it to and i was like oo i have to find it took me some time but got there in the end !!

[@bfmvmetallicaslayer]

a day on the life of a bird of a tokyo ?

[@PaladinswordSaurfang]

What would it be ripping off?

[@TheDobligator]

I assume this is just a normal sight in Australia.

[@LewisMcfawn]

Makes me think of triangles

[@sethd14]

needs more views.................. =) hahaha amazing song... love it. 3:38 ruined the whole thing
