I'm 23 years old, I never met my father. He's in Ireland. I've decided to meet him. everytime I hear that line " of all the people I'd hope it be you to come and free me take me away SHOW ME MY HOME where I was BORN..where I belong" it touches me, those words are highlighted.

[@ooodatsgottahurt1625]

+Reuben Hanrahan Update?

[@ariorojas2901]

+Reuben Hanrahan : I don't know how tight is Yannis's relation with his dad and how it has been during his life...but I could infer he meant exactly this when he wrote the lyrics for this song....cause his dad is greek and yannis has lived almost all his life on england...so you never know...You might be on spot :) Hope everything goes right with your problems

[@filipcoufal8785]

+Reuben Hanrahan I never met my father and I don't care anymore.. but this sond is amazing!!

You know a song is written well when there are so many interpretations of the lyrics for different listeners

[@IOUAK9]

SONG AT 0:01 "YYYYY" my job here is done listen to foals everyday, its good for healt

[@andrezapacheco7522]

thank you

[@memondayz]

Damn Diego didn’t know you liked foals good to know I had good childhood role models

[@evieatsairplanez]

Thank you Sir!

[@cvsco7794]

I don't know if I was happier or not back then but this piece makes me shiver from old feels

[@me1998ism]

The fact he is a Gryffindor makes it all that much more magical.

[@williambachman6972]

This is my interpretation. Based on his clothes he's actually an adult but he feels like a nervous little kid as he try's to impress a girl/women he once knew. As I feel most guys get this way when they try to impress a girl they really like, very vulnerable.

[@blackalicious_2005]

He is only wearing a shirt and tie its basically a school uniform i think

[@thegeffanator]

Wow that kid has a really mature voice. Kind of hard to believe he's singing this.

[@Delphine0077]

He's not!

[@graddedflipper5485]

+Delphine0077 are you dumb

[@mikew9543]

+thegeffanator The kid does have an amazingly developed voice. He was a finalist on The Voice, Kids, right? He really nails this song.

[@fuckinnanswer1]

+Saint Lunaire what's his name? I wanna look it up

[@mikew9543]

+Franky Laaksonen Hmmm..... complicated. My comment was a troll of Delphne and graddedflipper, to support the joke of thegeffantor. Delphine and graddedflipped obviously missed the tongue-in-cheek nature of thegeffanator's comment.

[@vOcHaZOv]

I absolutely adore this song. Brings a tear to my eye.

[@metalhead99928]

The kid sounds a lot like Yannis.

[@maialenmendez]

jajajajajaja!

[@clj1885]

13 years later and still listening! Always wondered if that nice jam at the beginning of the video was ever made into a song? It's class.

[@BenjaminRedwood]

THE BASS!!

[@ShimmeringDuck]

Swimming in the ever present depths of depression was never personified as well as the four minutes and 58 seconds of celebratory melancholy which just elapsed. Thank you Foals.

[@keekz510]

i heard this song in 2011 at a night bar and i still hear it and feel the same exact way when i first heard it.

[@eichbienyermaw]

The wee guy in the video is brilliant!! Great song!!!

[@maxquintanilla9511]

its been 10 years now, probably five since I know the band, and its the first time I see the video, I thought it be quite different as the song reminds me a sight of myself almost crying for the lyrics and my relationships problems, but its nice to watch this video and see the joy side of it, thanks @Foals

[@gaboalvarez9849]

This lyrics are just perfect, describe so nicely the feeling of being really in love of someone who literally came to change your world.

[@ewajackowska4115]

definitely my favorite of foals

[@turnerbaietto7954]

I'm a director in America and I've watched this video over and over and I must say, this young (maybe not anymore) actor, completely portrays what I feel when I hear this song. Bravo to whoever you are sir.

[@motherofchuy3932]

FOALS do it before SIA - Chandelier haha

[@camycraaps]

El niño emite todo el sentimiento en la canción . Que buen trabajo , que buen video , que buena canción ! . GRANDE FOALS

[@Cloud10Sounds]

I surf youtube for good music and videos but time and time again I come back to this video. Why because it's absolutely what it's all about. Telling a story through music. And this song does that, with musicality and images that engage, draw you in and, for a few minutes, make you believe you're someone else, somewhere else. Can't beat that.

[@AshlynnAspires]

Just discovered this group. LOVing it!!

[@keniaregalado2068]

This song still makes me feel so good inside. My favorite fucking band for ever and ever!!!

[@timetorocknroll1]

can't wait to see these guys live here in Brazil, this is my favorite song

[@BrahiamGarciaFlores]

Cada vez que escucho Foals, se torna una de mis bandas favoritas... Si bien es cierto, recuerdo cuando sacaron el Antidotes, un álbum genial con mucha energía y que era fácil engacharse con el tracklist que nos ofrecían. Luego vino este álbum, Total Live Forever, que para aquellos que esperábamos un toque similar al Antidotes no fue muy "bueno"... Pero, considero, que el Total Live Forever es un disco que tienes que escuchar varias veces, y de a poco, para que te parezca fantástico. Lamentablemente, recién estoy amando a este álbum, a pesar de haberlo escuchado a meses de haber salido, debido a que "Holy Fire" se volvió, en lo personal, el mejor álbum de Foals y el cambio que nos ofrecen en su tercer álbum, se siente un poco en el Total Live Forever. Espero vengan a Perú.

[@beturpo8262]

sí vinieron, amigo ♥

[@TheGreenDrunk]

Hey amigo No se si respondas esto pero Que te pareció Life is Yours?

[@KeyNoteSpker]

this is exactly my kind of music. i love how there's an indie band out there to suit almost everyone

[@CaffeinatedGiraffe]

This music video and song could mean so many things: 1. His mom got an abortion and this kid is supposed to be like if he survived. 2. He is some kid confessing his love to his teacher. 3. It's an adult confessing his love, but he approached her like an innocent child. 4. This kid just found his biological mother after being adopted. The list could go on and on.

[@watertommyz]

I like 3 the best

[@Delta-ei7im]

3 works best

[@thatellipsisguy8984]

"You’ve got blood on your hands, I know it’s my own." She’s his teacher, and his abuser.

1 is the best and it fits so well.

[@strayy5680]

I’m guessing he tracked down his birth mother based on the lyrics. “Where I was born, where I belong.” Also, that little touch when he reached out to her and her partner/family member looked at her like “he’s yours?” 2:36
