Frightened Rabbit - Swim Until You Cant See Land

[@jennifermoore8805]

I’m 70yrs old & know personally the pain of depression … just came across this band , love them & want to thank them for being a light in the darkness for so many … 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺

[@dawnbowra8885]

Yep I’m 53 and feel this man’s music.

[@alantipping2939]

I'm 64, been a music follower all my life and having just returned to the UK from living abroad many years similarly discovered this band just a few weeks ago. I was surprised they are virtually unheard of in Europe, and then gutted to learn Scott's no longer with us. His musical legacy is however, and what a legacy it is.

[@WhiskeyPlease-xq3ru]

I’m 51. Discovered them in 2020 when the world started falling apart. Never connected to anyone’s music like theirs.

[@samoramashel2692]

I am 33 black and in Namibia y'all complaining to much for folks who should just enjoy the song

[@zero_wing_]

it’ll be over soon. eternal darkness is the answer

[@zrich61788]

He is screaming out for help in almost every song. As a long time fan thus is so hard to watch. We miss you Scott and hope that you are no longer in pain. You helped me through so much.

[@nehemiah1960]

I didn't know how to check comments on KZbin.... Thank you for a nice note.... Swam I mile today😂

[@johnnyhouston9913]

A good friend gone to soon. Last time I seen him was a new Year at the BBC... We stole beer and wine .. more than what was aloud.. 🤣🤣 fuck it.. they played to millions.. what a gig to get.. ❤️ rest in Peace Scott.. his songs will be in films or something later on..I feel for his brother Grant and his family to.. ❤️ J x

Swim away Scott, thank you for the music you gave us. You got so many of us through dark times but like the candle is alone you couldn't see it. Sleep now and never suffer again.

[@ohwow5532]

Shaun I was keeping it cool since the whole news broke and then hearing this morning. But this comment broke me. He helped me through a rough patch and I got to see him in a small church concert in Oregon. Will never forget the electricity in the room. Bless 🤘🏼

[@kennobody]

Hope you stay strong. At least we have his music. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@fictionmyth]

There's a Banksy quote that I like. It goes, "Everyone dies twice. The first time when your body dies. The second time the last time someone thinks of you." (That's paraphrasing from memory) This is my first time hearing his music but with the talent he displays and then the emotion he provokes, his second death will still be many years from now, if ever.

[@ann-mariemartin5713]

Corey Carnes thinking of him. And his pain. 😟

[@lenapauline8634]

Shaun i wont get over this one. i feel like i lost a best friend. if only he knew how many of us cared so deeply about him.

[@nixieNICLA]

Love this band. His Mum used to call him The Frightened Rabbit on account of his chronic shyness. Proves a big voice can live in the quietest of people. This is one of my favourite songs!

[@Fish_thebard]

He will be missed. Scott was a real one. He was more like a big brother than a star. Rest easy, frightened rabbit.

[@andrewscott6828]

Scott... I’m not in a position to ask why but I’m in one to speak for everyone when I say that you’re immortal, brother. You will live forever.

[@biggestsquidd5948]

Me fucking too.

[@whatascunner]

The special thing about frabbit is that they could have you reflecting on all the hardest parts of your life but you still find yourself dancing.

[@svenofthejungle]

This song is one of my fondest memories. I saw Frightened Rabbit live in Orlando in 2014 with my then-girlfriend (who herself is a magical being, gods bless her in all her future endeavors), and this was easily one of the best nights of my life. The band hit this song, and my partner and I danced like fools drunk with joy. Scott was on point that night. We, the world, lost a magical being when he decided to make his own exit. I'm crying right now for all the bittersweet associations this song unearths. Rest in peace, Scott. You're safe now. Nobody's gonna throw stones at your back where you are now. Swim on! We'll catch up with you in our own time.

[@nickmonks9563]

My favorite Frightened Rabbit song, hand down...and there are a lot of great tunes to choose from. Miss you, Scott. You may have saved my life, brother, and for that I'll owe you forever.

[@FrankyFrazbear33]

RIP Scott Hutchison. Your art pulled so many people out of the darkness. We'll miss you and your legacy will live on forever. Rest easy, brother.

[@Spider777333]

Journey well bonnie lad.Sad you left so soon.

[@Spider777333]

This song has been in my head for days.You'll be proud Scott, your brothers & FRabbits are supporting & speaking out on this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek What selfless beautiful souls,all of you.

[@andrewscott6828]

Scott didn’t leave, he never will.

[@joonefps]

@@andrewscott6828 Scott's never gone as long as we listen on and shout his lyrics, and show others his beautiful music.

[@APandaToRemember]

Chuck brought me here years ago and I've been loving this song ever since. RIP Scott, I'll never stop listening to this work of art.

[@nehemiah1960]

Thank you from long ago....😮

[@codyrepass8656]

I saw these guys live last Friday in Seattle. They opened for The National and they were absolutely phenomenal. They sound so great live and their drummer is such a beast.

[@carpeimodiem]

I had to stop watching this video for the last 7+ years because it instantly reminds of the horrors I was escaping with it at that time. When every wretched day made death sound like a warm blanket. And I'd put this song on. And hear the words. And see the band. And the people dancing. And the lovely little lights that lit their dark room, the way it lit my dark room. And I'd tell myself to keep swimming. No sleep? Keep going. No escape? Keep surviving. All alone? Live to change it. Day after day. Every single day. For a year. To Scott and the boys and everyone who lifted a finger to help them do it... thank you for keeping me alive.

[@nhh49]

The healing properties of music are incredible.

he's been all that my mind is able to think about since the news broke... my heart aches for him still. "I'm away now. Thanks." will haunt me forever i think. hope everything is a bit easier on the other side, Scott. u deserve that, at least.

[@sophialysikat9840]

I miss you so much Scott, I find myself watching this on repeat just to see you staring directly into the camera. I’ve only just managed to be able to listen to your music without crying. I hope you are happy wherever you are, and able to do your drawings ❤

[@wokinnoodlesfilms]

I was freezing cold and soaked at Leeds festival 2013 and i decided to walk into the nme stage/tent. Frightened Rabbit had just came on and the lead singer said "We are truly blessed by God for this turn out tonight" circumstances led to the mne stage being packed due to the rain and Frightened Rabbit probably had one of their best performances yet.

[@bhughes8301]

Found out about this band from “swim until you can’t see land” that was on a playlist at an old job I had. I just found out that Scott passed in 2018. It ruined my night hearing that, seemed like such a genuinely sweet man. He’s at peace now. RIP

[@courtneyhahn4659]

I was fortunate enough to see them play live 4 times. I just introduced someone new to their music today and she is in love and can't stop listening. Scott, you are amazing and I wish you were still here.

[@christianzafiroglu6705]

I just heard this on the radio. How did I not know this existed until now? This is a fantastic song, deep with emotion and meaning for me. To learn Scott is gone makes this song hurt more. The best music sometimes goes unappreciated in its’ time.

[@adelviridian8678]

This song is attached to some of the best memories of my life

[@drj112379]

I still feel that this song contains a lot of hope, something which I wish Scott could see. Everyone has strength inside of themselves to overcome whatever they’re going through. Some just need more help “to swim.”

[@seanmurphy6480]

ITS FULL OV HOPE, GOT ME THROUGH

[@SamBernstein-ci7fr]

im glad you are here

[@kenhughes707]

Yes! That's part of why I love Scott's lyrics so much. He's struggling with pain and turmoil inside but acknowledges that there is hope to get through it.

[@keithrondinelli7576]

One of the few songs in modern music that I can honestly say changed my life, perhaps even saved it. It’s hard to listen to the Rabbit since Scott’s death; water, drowning, and suicide references abound. I think he left behind some of the most genuinely great songs I’ve ever heard.

[@goopaloop]

We all appreciate the music you gave us Scott. Thanks! R.I.P.

[@suzannemarie86]

RIP Scott. Your beautiful voice and lyrics will be sorely missed. Your words helped me through some tough times.

[@jonahandneeleyshow]

May you rest in peace. This song helped me through a rough patch once. Grateful for your life, and grateful you wrote it!

[@murrischcat9098]

Loved this song and listened to it everday in 2010. Just felt nostalgic and returned...but the news in the comments were tough....I didnt know. RIP This song will always be special

[@alancru]

I hope you find the peace that has escaped you through life Scott, i wonder if you really knew how much you were loved by so many? Rest in Peace.

[@leanderthal2689]

Watched this video a thousand times over the years and shared it with my closest. Listened to the track for literally hours on repeat. Heartfelt love and deepest, deepest condolences to all of Scott's loved ones.

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Rest well man . Beautiful song . Longtime favourite

[@DavidDiMuzio]

Woke up this morning to the awful news about Scott. What a shame, he was such a talented man. R.I.P. 💔

[@danger1980c]

My love and admiration for Frightened Rabbit brought me here and keeps me coming back year after year

[@WhiskeyPlease-xq3ru]

This is my favorite FR video. In many parts of this he is looking directly into the camera and thereby you. As he is looking at you I’m thinking of what a talented singer he is, and such an amazing songwriter who has never touched my soul like anyone else has. And I think how healthy he looks. But then I think is he ok here? Is the depression here? Is he struggling? Is he ok? Is he running to his addictions? For some reason I’m thinking these things, whether it’s right or wrong, because he is looking directly at the camera/me. I’m thinking of the backwards walk. I’m thinking of the ticks and inconsistencies. I’m thinking of the winter of mixed drinks. I’m thinking of the will and a brick. I’m thinking of I’m in love with you and I can’t admit it yet. Thinking of it all. I hope you are at peace Scott. God Bless.

[@wintercrandall]

Swim until you can't see land and keep yourself warm, because your just another lit torch to the woodpile. Great band, a Scottish singer on indie based tracks gives it an essence that others music can't grasp. See Blue Rose Code and Twin Atlantic for examples of this.

[@jepardize]

[Verse 1] I salute at the threshold Of the North Sea of my mind And I nod to the boredom That drove me here to face the tide [Pre-Chorus] And I swim I swim, oh swim [Verse 2] Dip a toe in the ocean Oh, how it hardens and it numbs The rest of me is a version of man Built to collapse in crumbs And if I hadn't come now To the coast to disappear I may have died in a landslide Of rocks and hopes and fears [Chorus] So I swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Interlude] [Verse 3] Up to my knees now Do I wade? Do I dive? The sea has seen my like before Though it's my first and perhaps last time Let's call me a baptist Call this a drowning of the past She is there on the shoreline Throwing stones at my back [Chorus] So I swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Interlude] [Bridge] And the water is taller than me And the land is a marker line All I have is a body Adrift in water, salt and sky [Chorus] So I swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? [Outro] Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand? Are you a man?

I dreamed about Scott last week. There was a memorial on a busy street corner, and all the flowers at the local shop were sold out and already spread on the pavement, several feet high, and I thought that there weren't enough flowers in the world to express the sorrow of his loss. How many of us have gotten through our worst days thanks to the music of Frightened Rabbit? RIP, man.
