Keaton Henson - You Don't Know How Lucky You Are (Official Video)

[@JDSarmiento]

Makes me think of all the billions and billions of people who cried alone throughout history with no one to comfort them. :(

[@sajolchoudhury7832]

[@ampule8380]

[@ktrkradio]

what the fuk is wrong with crying alone

[@blackbird163]

oh god...how sad...

[@billie6814]

I once heard someone say "you don't know what kind of nights other people have", and your comment made me think of that. I don't think many people live out their lives to have never cried alone without anyone to comfort them. And we go through life never really knowing or necessarily being able to guess who out of the random people we interact with every day will go into a bedroom at night and cry because of all the pain.

[@paragraphs7235]

I know Keaton is a legend and all but... crying in front of a camera for four minutes is impressive as fuck. especially given that there was no music when it was being recorded, so she would have just been stood there in silence.

[@msfattytroll]

"especially given that there was no music when it was being recorded" not to detract from her amazing performance AT ALL but there's nothing stopping them from having music while they recorded this video. There's nothing supporting saying that she wasn't listening to this song while they were filming

[@TheOssumPawesome]

Oh snap what that's Keaton in drag?

[@praviplavokutnik]

Impromptu Paragraphs it's a kind of an emotion that he feels we should recognize by watching this video. besides, there is so much more than just "crying in front of a camera" in this video, it's on you to imagine the connection with the song, that's why it's art. it is only my opinion, but i think you could understand better if you see someone else's perspective, cheers

[@paragraphs7235]

I meant from an acting perspective, I understand that there is more to the video than just that. i was just saying that she is hella talented.

[@yossariancomplex]

Impromptu Paragraphs Maybe she has reason to cry.

[@red84ro]

Actually I think that this vid is sort of a blank canvas and you project your personal troubles/heart ache on it. I think that what you see in it says more about you than about the video

[@TellTheTruth7777]

I'm so happy they chose a woman who isn't super young for this. She's certainly, not old and very beautiful but you can tell her life hasn't been easy. In my opinion (whatever that's worth) It's from point of view of a woman who isn't 18 but not 75 either. Young enough to change her regrets but like someone said earlier, feels stuck at a crossroads. She grieves what could have been. Technically could probably still have it, but at a cost. That's why I think they chose well with this amazing actress. It makes sense. We face mortality in our 40s(give or take) but still have a long life ahead. Simply beautiful.

[@absenteechildhood8172]

Exactly.

[@gbeansmama]

Amazing the emotion she was able to convey in one shot. Keaton is brilliant & this video only enhances the beauty of his music.

[@puddles5247]

Shes a British actress , in all sorts

[@Dreamplandoradij]

agree she s 62 but it feels like she is in her late 30 early 40 s in this video , our generations are aging way more slowly now. video is like the glimpse on one of those moments which lot of people have in their lives at some point - when we loose something someone, when our dreams crashing, when our world restarting, when we are frozen in moment of grief and our brain cannot bare it but is panicking and searching for some reason or explanation or for some solution that will get everything back , but deep down in heart we know it was the end and the future is scarry and we need to embrace new reality and it adds some new marks on our eyes , on our forehead .

She’s a mother from the coast of Hastings still waiting for her son who'd promised her that he'd return from a Napoleonic campaign in Brittany that'd been going on for years and halted and won over, but he never comes back, but she's always there no matter how cold and sharp the ocean winds are, gazing into the English Channel looking for a small sailing bark, looking all over everything, at the seas and the skies, facing at all things but the hard truth she can't bear, every day, every week, waiting until she too, like her son, withered and decayed, and her wait is finally over.

[@cme9885]

+Chris Derungs What's actually really amazing about acting is that there are two different kinds of emotional labor (making your body do what you want it to do on stage). One is external pulling, which is when you fake your emotions and force the tears on psychically, which there is nothing wrong with. But then there's internal pulling, which is when you take personal events in your life to bring the tears on or to make yourself angry (or anything that is needed on stage that you pull out of events in your own life). So sometimes it's fun to sit back and wonder which technique an actor is using on screen when you see them get teary eyed with sadness or red faced with anger.

[@shotinthedark90]

Something about the dull, dead harmonic at 0:29 that is so perfect. It interrupts the easiness of listening to the intro, so that you have a heightened awareness of the human being behind the guitar. I mean, I know he's a talented musician and composer, but that "missed" note gives you the feeling of being at a children's concert where you're constantly on edge, hoping for every strum or keystroke to be successful. Every "hit" note, then, is more meaningful, because it is attached to a person with the potential for failure as well as success. It opens you up to the sensitive kernel in the middle of every calloused personality, and reminds you that even a "hard" person is really just a scared child. Genius.

I think the clip just trying to pick up a world of a thousand and thousand women's who just live in misery marriage. When the singer says in the song: You don't like to be touched, Let alone kissed. His was just trying to show us how tired and disgusted of a convenient marriage can be.

I have a young child who keeps me going. For that I'm grateful. She's a gift. This song dislodged the feelings I held in for a very long time. I'm married to a guy who cares about a career. Tells me what a POS my dad is when I call him. And could not care less if I want to be touched or kissed. He earns a living. I'm stuck. I'm not old but I'm not 20 anymore either. That's just my personal translation of this song. Not to bore you guys or anything. Just appreciative someone wrote what I couldn't say all this time.

[@lorenrees5856]

Henson's work to me can only be described as 'beautifully tragic'. His lyrics hold the kind of sorrow in them that makes, for example, this particular song, engage you in life's faults. The woman here is living this state of affliction that is gloriously anguishing. It represents that one state of oblivion in which everyone so dearly tries to avoid, she not only believes this other person does not know who she is, but she, herself; she does not truly know her own personage, her own soul. Her standing alone in such a vast space symbolizes the seclusion and loneliness that is created with a life lived with no love of oneself or others. Love is selfish, but once found, it is the most gratifying thing of all.

What I see in her face: she's trying to remind herself of all the good things in her life, things she should be grateful for. She's reminding herself that she's strong and that she'll survive this because she's made it this far. But still, she's getting crushed by the weight of her world. It's the internal battle of trying to keep our head above water while you're chained to a boulder. Wait, I feel like that got too personal...

this video is an actual representation of realizing something is over. you deny that it's even real, then you slowly realize it's true and the feeling of absence slowly creeps up on you until you're in complete tears

[@venomh8959]

My personal interpretation of the song lyrics and video is that the woman was a widow but is in a new relationship now, however her partner does not truly know her and make her happy. I think her dad may have mistreated her or left her, and she never got over it, which is why she may struggle to trust, be touched and have personal relationships. Also, at the level of sorrow she is at now, romance is almost intolerable and she can not express herself. The man she is with now doesn't know who she truly is and therefore she is herself slowly forgetting and losing who she is. The woman has now become numb to her emotions and lost who she is due to the act she has to constantly put on and being misunderstood. The woman has been in a state of inner loneliness and depression for so long that she does not realise when she is sad or mad because she has become too used to it. The title is what the woman is thinking when she thinks about the peace her ex has found. The woman is crying in an empty field staring into the distance because it is the first time in a while that she has felt 'serene' enough to recognise what has happened to herself and her life. I chose the word 'serene' because it relates to a feeling of peacefulness and an expanse of clear sky, which is what the woman is mesmerized by. The woman is remebering and reminiscing over memories, viewing both the happy and the sad which is why she is crying but smiling at the same time, because she remembers what her life used to be. I think the woman is wearing that outfit because it was probably from a time when women needed to be with a man, or would suffer from poverty or homelessness. Which links to my final point, that the woman breaks down during the line "does his love make your head spin?" because the harsh reality has hit her that she shouldn't be with him, yet she knows she will struggle to survive without him. I'm probably wrong, but that's ok because this is a work of art, and art is down to interpretation.

Sophie Thompson deserves much more recognition ... beautiful song!! love this

[@Rebel-hl7oi]

This is amazing acting. For such an emotional song I think just watching her cry is something truly beautiful and sad.

[@Christine_1985]

WOW!!!! Sophie Thompson’s performance is sublime.💕💕 Absolutely beautiful xxxx

[@ellaminnow]

This video was randomly recommended to me and now I've found a new repeat song.

[@wsa18]

It's nice to listen to a song and realise, that it doesn't speak to the heartbreak you were once feeling and reliving, but simply enjoy it's beauty

[@mnmless]

incredible. powerful. overcome with the grief of whoever's story this is. i wonder what brought her to the moors.

[@otheroranotherone]

Full Lyrics: Does he know Who you are? Does he laugh, Just to know What he has? Does he know Not to talk About your dad? Does he know when you're sad? You don't like to be touched, Let alone kissed Does he know where your lips begin? Do you know Who you are? Do you laugh Just to think What I like? Do you know Your lip shakes When you're mad? Do you notice when you're sad? You don't like to be touched, Let alone kissed Does his love make your head spin? Does his love make your head spin? Does his love make your head spin?

[@kailynevyenn8848]

I feel like my life is slipping away, and everytime this plays i can only cry harder

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

I can't help but cry when I watch this video. She is incredible.

[@charlesrgabel2135]

She crushes my soul with those tears

[@michaelmemmelaar4937]

One has departed. One is left behind. Her love breaks her heart. Her love binds her heart and holds it whole. Any other details are trivial. This thing is what you have seen.

[@keirichan]

there must be some deep things going through her mind to cry four minutes and dont stop

[@laddykae]

These are the kinds of emotions you can't put into words

[@taylorhan3192]

I really a appreciate the minimalistic style of his music videos. It focuses on the music and lyrics rather than how some other videos are like watching a movie. This is how music videos are supposed be,all about the music. I feel like he portrays the story in his lyrics but shows emotions through the actors faces and actions. Its really beautiful.

[@brianadallis3851]

This work of art is haunting.

[@EmilyWalsh537]

This was powerfully emotional.

[@elenaveleva5805]

I cry every time. I come here to watch the beautiful performance of both Keaton and this woman. This is something absolutely worth crying to.

[@ReliefOrFight]

I only knew Keaton's 'You' for a long time. I have just this hour discovered this and somehow it surpasses even the masterpiece of 'You'. He simply does not hold back. You can hear the emotion, it is REAL emotion. 'Does he know not to talk about your Dad?' 'Do you know who you are?' 'Do you know that your lip shakes when you're mad?' This evokes in me the deepest-rooted of my insecurities, and the thought of the girl who wanders London who will one day end up being mine, neither of us yet knowing it, and then I'll fuck it up like I always do. She'll get with a real man who can handle his anxieties and think of me fondly but with only a pleasant nostalgia, not a deeper yearning. Keaton is a beautiful human being and I wish to someday bump into him on the leafy streets of London.

[@derminator95]

I was searching through my subscribers list and i've stumbled upon this profile. Out of curiosity I clicked on the profile and coincidentally found this gem again. I remember that I used to play it on repeat when I was younger and how touching this video was, this women gave me the same feeling that I used to feel back then. I cant believe how fast 10 years have passed by.

[@momod424]

Depth can only be measured in still waters.

[@JLmike7]

One of the more subtle and profound things about this video is the camera movement. It starts focused on her wringing her hands, conveying tension. Then the camera moves away, slow and continuous... making the scene more distant, more empty, and more lonely with each moment.

[@theSavvi101]

WHO IS THIS ACTRESS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SHE LOOKS VERY SAD AND ITS MAKING ME SAD THIS WOMAN DESERVES AN AWARD

[@jacquelyndoyle2023]

Years later and I still come back to watch this video. I love this song and how well the emotion comes through in this video.

[@hannahtuppin7563]

this song is insanely beautiful but can we just talk about this actress, shes incredible, every word that was said she portrayed amazingly.

[@fr0mbis775]

Thank you Keaton Henson, very cool! She clearly likes it!

[@ryanseidl100]

I didn't feel lucky until God told me he'd always be with me. He is for you.

[@reyag5811]

This song reminds me of all those small details you grow to miss , wondering if whoever theyre with next will appreciate them as much as you did

[@mak7848]

This song reminds me of my mother and father's relationship. She has grown apart from him, but I can't imagine either of them growing old with anyone else but each other. And when I picture her ever falling in love with someone else, that man will never love her like my dad did. Every lyric fits perfectly with how my father would feel if she found someone new...

[@poocrumbleking]

Mak Attack I don't think you can dedicate a song you haven't written/performed to anyone. Write your parents a damn song ya slack fuck.

[@mak7848]

Poo crumbleking Thank you :) have a nice day!

[@Erik_Ahl]

I know I'm not the only one who can relate to this song.. But sometimes it feels like it is my unspoken words reaching the surface to cry.. I had a dream come true once, and it kissed my lips.. And now that dream belongs to someone else... I'm happy for them, I really am.. I just wish I could be that lucky.. Again...

[@mrmorales082]

Erik Ahl YES! i know this feeling!

[@thiagoandrade2540]

I liked your profile picture so much. It can be weird to hear that, but its the only true. Is it a clown?

[@Erik_Ahl]

@@thiagoandrade2540 Oh wow, thank you! It is actually a portrait of me in the style of Tove Jansson that I got from a friend. I'm glad you like it.

[@phovius2280]

Those are the words of a wise man. I'm not a romantic myself, I'm more on the realist side but I still find meaning and sometimes even joy out of romanticism. I feel like only an artist could ever define what love is.

[@lucylucy163]

@@phovius2280 do u think that first love can be forgoten someday

[@betymartinez8141]

This song came up as a suggestion, and now I think it's one of my favorite songs.

[@franzbi8465]

Dont cry... Don't cryyyyyyy. Now I'm crying too.

[@elm_]

There is something so personal about this song. It feels like we're only glimpsing a small part of the singer's pain and not getting the whole story. It's heartbreaking to listen to

[@meghannsmiley2047]

I see all the different comments on here about what the song is trying to say. The most beautiful thing about art is that the meaning is yours to find for yourself. Everyones perception is different so everyones version will be different but true to them. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@makismoulos]

This is amazing.....the woman is just perfect! She feels all the feelings at the same time... the sad ones are destroying her but it s like she finds something, a moment, a memory in her mind that makes her keep going on, until she cannot resist...these eyes are blind, she can only see through her mind... It is her first time questioning herself and she does it with sad music, in order to see deeper...

[@b-tiny8756]

Love how everyone here seems to actually get this song and appreciates it(:

[@eleanor7]

Seriously the Thompson genes overflow with amazing talent, sisters Emma and Sophie. And their mother Phyllida Law.
