M83 - In The Cold I'm Standing

[@FATHERCAKE]

I got very attached to this video in 2013 and I’m so glad I found it again!

[@soundlemonade]

Same

[@coasterphanatic]

People ask me why I listen to stuff like this and I say its what makes me actually feel..

[@LlamasInCrime]

+Coby McConkey same here

[@dominickbradshaw]

exactly I can't even listen to rap music anymore and nobody understands it's like I can't listen to stuff that had no real meaning or is gonna make me feel angry or upset like why life's way too short for that shit.

[@serge933]

Couldn't have said it better myself. It brings so much emotion that I rarely feel anymore on my day to day life.

[@peternovak5327]

Good!!!

[@bkaiser2012]

It's hard to express to a lot of people that this isn't really just what makes us feel, this is HOW we feel....like...idk the sounds explain the feelings I can't describe with words.

[@Daniel-xv1qu]

I watched it after i lost my best friend Aiko I hope i find you at the other side buddy I miss you so much😭😭😭

[@Sleipnirseight]

I last saw this about 8 years ago and I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to hunt this video down again. Success!!

[@simonbadel2120]

"suicide never ends the pain, only passes it onto another loved one" .

[@victornavarro3074]

(To my understanding-interpretation this is what happens)Her boyfriend died recently and she is really depressed so she takes an overdose of some medication in order to commit suicide. When she is in her NDE (near death experience) his boyfriend is there at a distance but both of them are not allowed to come close. The men holding them down represent close relatives that care for them and will miss them. Once they free themselves they meet. When they get together there loved ones walk beside them sadly and depressed.They fail to realize they are leaving loved ones behind only thinking of the love they have for one another. When she notices all those she has forgot she comes back to life. Its sort of a anti-suicide video very deep and sad with a strong message.

[@darkclawbunny]

Woops, wrong comment chain xD

[@FauxKun]

thank god someone with an active imagination came along, i was trying to figure out wtf the story is

[@Denissefish]

alguien tradúzcamelo en español lpm

[@lucasiglesias3501]

+doblasinframundo si me lo pides por favor te lo traduzco

[@axelusul]

I think it is a very honest and beautiful video in its way. Done by a London Acting Group. M83 should have adopted it as there official video and gave the money to them at least as a tax break. I do know the girl in the video went on to Canada and was in a Shakespeare Play of some repute.

[@jessicawest5147]

Seen so many times. And I still cry

[@anorganism8913]

A cloud in the sky can make a person cry. A flower. A word. A song.

[@jamzzuk]

There's nothing wrong with feeling...

[@axelusul]

Hooks me every time, lost count how many times I've watched it. Reminds me of being young and the craziness and power of love.

[@danarthurs400]

I honestly thought this was a video made by M83. Well done.

[@Ffejro12256]

I hope these filmmakers are doing well now. Zero budget is nearly impossible: you gotta feed people, get them to the location, find costumes, pay for makeup, rent equipment, you gotta buy a lot of ink to print releases and call sheets. I suspect this might have been shot in the UK?? In the US, you'd have to get permits, insurance. Zero budget means no one took a penny for this. A lot of people in front and behind the camera on this venture obviously believed in what you were doing, and they were right to. This video is gripping and worthy of awards at the best film festivals. There are a ton of filmmakers who have a US$ 50K budget and don't come anywhere close to anything like this.

[@jamzzuk]

to add to Victors interpretation.. the couple on the Hill was a beautiful touch to add depth, they represent what we call ghosts, people who are not ready to leave and stay in limbo, there dance represents unfinished business. When they look at each other at the finale of there waltz, they are ready to move on. The group that made this are incredibly talented. Thankyou.

[@BipoIarbear]

I read somewhere it was a high school in South UK. I always assumed French

[@duncfg]

Thank you for all your comments on this video. Truly means a lot to hear your thought and interpretations.

[@chrismunson4714]

No one saved me, I woke up on my floor a day later, recovering from the poison in my body. My sister called me because our mom had a nightmare that I killed myself, I told her everything was fine. I now have a wife and daughter. I recently went back to school, I made a friend. She's this little fragile thing, we hardly talk, we're both quiet by nature. She sits right next to me in every class, even when there open seats every where else. I catch her looking at me out of the corner of her eye as frequently as she catches me. I know it's because we share the same story.

[@jamiestar1496]

Chris Munson thanks for sharing, Chris. I think I understand, my friend.

[@axelusul]

Thanks for your STORY Chris, hope you are in a better PLACE now. If not then you should take up creative writing...like LOVELY BONES

[@NoKiddingNinja]

Am just crying where I am...........

[@erzaix]

Hello! Can you please contact me via email of in facebook? I want to know more about this story. What does it means? Is it fiction? How it's possible? I like this comment so much and want to learn more about what is happening in this story! Please!!!

[@Jiraton]

There's a song that should be written about this story.....

[@Miller14100]

This is a very well made music video. I discovered it last year when I was going through a pretty rough time. It's truly incredible. The performances are great too :)

[@axelusul]

Made by a London amateur drama group, should have been adopted as Official M83 vid. Would have made more sense to give money to the non funded community group, instead creating a sub standard one. Must be LEGAL problems?, which ever I think this is the best one. Come on M83, missed a good PR opportunity and way to help young artists. All I know is the talented lead actress, is now staring in a Canadian Shakespeare production, GOOD LUCK to her and all others who created this great piece of film to an awesome track....

[@Ffejro12256]

Major problem with this video, and that is, as of May 2, 2012, only 67k views since March 2011. This thing should be viewed (and liked) in the millions. And if KZbin has the equivalent of Oscars, there should be one for direction, acting, writing, and cinematography. So amazing. At my desk, holding back tears.

[@DarkMatter2525]

For one fleeting moment, they defeated death.

[@lifeisaok]

Images and music work so well together here. So many possibilities for interpretation. I love the actors used - so expressive and intriguing all of them.

[@RyleyAtk]

The image at 3:09 reminds me of the Dance of Death from Bergman's The Seventh Seal.

[@myname3960]

so close, but so far

[@estefaniayag961]

no better words to describe it

[@thenewmelissa457]

this music and this clip just fit togheter so well

[@WolfoftheWoodsTactical]

All our sunsets will come one day. Be ready

[@ace009ful]

We were born from the stars, and to the stars we shall return.

[@Ner-vod]

It took me 9 or 10 years to realize this wasn't the official music video. I've conversed with suicide for many, many years and this video hits me every time I see it. It's beautiful. It's perfect. It's romantic. It's one of the more powerful videos I've ever seen.

[@hauntingwhispersasmr]

This was an experience... I'm speechless... This video does M83 justice!

[@Nomadicfox17]

this video makes me wanna cry every time. so incredibly moving.

[@JP-gg9rn]

dokładnie

[@matelurz]

egzakly xD

[@BipoIarbear]

The conveyance of pain in her eyes is amazing

[@jjjubeee]

Wow! What an amazing song and clip. I love any music that can really make me 'feel' and M83 are so good at it

[@craigblackwell2137]

Music is so amazing... you can die a thousand times... conquer worlds, or fall in love at every chord.

[@drivko6393]

Damn, this is so deep! Almost every M83 song is deep and sounds like from different world and different state of mind.

[@abraham3673]

i find it... interesting how many people say they don't understand the video. i'm a person suffering from depression, and after my ex broke up with me, i was at such a low point, and i thought of suicide a lot. I saw all the signs in this video and it felt almost obvious to me. i don't know...

[@iacopomariotti387]

Right now, mind you its a moment. A never-ending one in your head, a record that keeps on repeating the same phrase, well you are more than that you just have to remember it.

[@legendaryman6960]

I hope your feeling better now

[@Winston_Smith676]

Abraham Pancake Mash Because we dont live for ourselfs, and dont die for ourselfs.

[@TheDarrelmcgee]

I've been there but no one, nor the hate they cause should cause one to feel , that the hurt should condone suicide

[@aliciapatterson82]

Abraham Pancake Mash hope your in a better place right now suicide is a awful thing but I can relate to it, the darkness that surrounds you it impenetrable with my experiences in it though being one left behind is devastating although it was my dad who took his own life and being the last he called I can't help but feel myself selfish for cutting his call short in my defence I didn't have a clue and was in labor and yes my son was born the same day he died it's alot to cope with I suffer from bpd, anxiety and at times I'm agoraphobic I recently split with my ex who I supported through his addiction and he split with me. It was really hard not to feel low as I did so much tried my best to improve for him but I can say my mind didn't go once to ending it because I wouldn't want my boys and people who care for me to go through the experiences I have trying to come to terms and accept my dads death (even though my mind always thinks no-one cares that's just part of my bpd) there's always light eventually that breaks through the darkness sometimes it day sometimes months or even years but you get there

[@magnetictheory]

I love M83 but this video is so intense and I don't even understand the context. I'm just getting a lot of angst. God dammit this is so French. I need a scarf.

[@darkclawbunny]

I believe it's about a boy who commits suicide, and a girl who almost succeeds in doing the same to herself. Or so I see it that way. xD Also this comment is old af but I don't give a shit, I'm sprayin' context on yo ass. xD

[@zeljkabarker8124]

magnetictheory You crazy little thing! 🤣

[@CoccinelleMiraculeux]

You know the video's.... unofficial, right?

[@BipoIarbear]

Its so powerful

[@taylorlandsom2896]

I restarted this video and muted it. I played 'Outro' in place of the original song and there are no words to describe how powerful it made the video. Try it.

[@matthewanderson737]

I love that girl's face. also, this video is intensely good.

[@toodleloo2253]

great acting, great music!! :) I like the evocative black & white cinematography...and the powerful dramatic imagery of the couple dancing in formal attire...so visceral, symbolic, & resonating with meaning...in fact, it gives me shivers!!...In The Cold I'm Standing!...

[@SomethiingClever]

I've been watching this for a few years. I didn't know it wasn't official until just now! It's absolutely excellent!!

[@มดแดง-ฃ3ข]

คงไม่ได้อยู่ตรงนี้คงไม่ได้พูดถึงเรื่องนี้เธอก็คงไม่ได้อยู่ที่นี่

[@DamaLlama]

Wow this is just beautiful. I think the gray world is the place where people go after committing suicide. The couple were very much in love but the boy overdosed. The girl feeling like she couldn't live without him also attempted suicide in order to go after him in the other life. The men in suites are the guides to the other life. Her sister walks in and attempts cpr, ripping her from after life and bringing her back to the present while her love must precede. Truly breathtaking video.

[@Prefuse]

Wow. Just wow. Beautiful song and video. It makes me think about life and everything that surround it. Thanks.

[@Prefuse]

Yeah, very melancholic.

[@pulgahxcx]

I wish i was staring at the sky with full of stars, smoking some purps and listening to this.

[@maxxdavis5640]

Mario Lamadrid I would indeed encourage that. soul bending

[@chad35151]

One of my best friends died from heroine.. this song reminds me of the time he lived with me weeks before he overdosed. Kinda makes me sick inside how I should of stopped it all somehow.. Life has it's reason

[@AlwaysBeGood]

I am in love with video and the whole idea of it, plus music fits it perfectly.

[@kamyuki3893]

It make me cry...So amazing.

[@มดแดง-ฃ3ข]

วิธีการข่มจิตใจคิดว่าเขาเป็นลูกของคุณมันเป็นเรื่องของครอบครัวของคุณคุณย่อมไม่ต้องการให้ใครเข้ามายุ่ง

[@izzyfouda320]

I feel the meaning of this video is obvious to me. The guy commits suicide, and the girl tries the same because she is depressed and wants to join him in any way. The men in black suits represent death. They hold them both back because they know she is only there temporarily, and don't want her to stay. They manage to hug, but eventually it's time for her to go (carry on living) and they take the guy away so she can wake up again. NB. Notice they named this video 'A journey through limbo to find life'. I like that. It suggests Death in this case is good and wants to save the girl because it knows that this grief will pass and she will learn to heal and love life again.

[@KallimaMedia]

I just love this. I am a filmmaker myself and besides corporate videos, I also film edit and produce music videos. The concept is brilliant here - the filming is beautifully done - love the panning and depth of field and the editing is very clean. I love watching it!

[@milanagoldman6623]

Very powerful. In love with band. 😏

[@blancacamacho4200]

It's amazing how music can explain everything without saying anything to see

[@The1977Punk]

If you like M83, check out TED DUCHAMP - TIME BOMBS, think you'll enjoy it, cheers!

[@noughiphiet]

I don't know why it bothers me that 3 years after this masterpiece of short cinema is made, M83s record company also puts out some generic "Official" music video of this, and it just looks like an anti-smoking anti-STD advert. I wish Anthony would have just seen this and said.. you know what.. this is the official one.

[@BipoIarbear]

Its cos we strive for perfection 😔

[@ashleyhynes2124]

Wow staggering, M83 so impressive moves you on every level beautiful . Namaste

[@Jeoplett]

This is not about people at all. The music is about cold lonely planet, about universe, stars and mysterious transformations. But people can feel it only when they approached some edge like feeling suicidal after break up. But again, this is not about people at all.

[@dianacastillomorales898]

There's not words to explain my feelings right now !!!! :'D I will alway carry this song in to my heart and i will die with this song in to my fucking mind

[@tamasszabo9108]

Nowadays it is hard to be young, why? I don't know how about you guys, but in my family personal development does not exist as an optional goal of my life... only to get a nice, standard, moneymaker job... And these youngsters, they get it, they understand that life is more than get a nice job, a nice car, a standard life... LIFE is more than that, personal development, adventure, new experiences, traveling, volunteering, meet new people in new countries... Young and interesting people feel the pressure of this unnatural society, and they cannot bare it... There are two options, either you leave, or you die...

[@andiev.d.c7308]

I couldn't remember the name of the song but I couldn't forget the music video either - it's how I found the song again

This is one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen. Considering you did it on no budget you should be really proud of this. Beyond fantastic!

[@jrh767]

so first, they wanted to have a hug, but their friends said, 'no you cant have a hug!'. Then they said, 'no we're having a hug!'. then they ran and had a hug, right?

[@abraham3673]

i think her boyfriend commited suicide, and she attempts it in hopes to see him again in the afterlife, but she realizes there's more that needs to be done, and her mother saves her.

[@sunsettwinflame9982]

Very moving I have to play it twice every time, reminds me of what I went through last year 2017.

[@TalesofaFilmmaker]

duncfg please answer me at how many frames per second did you record and at how many you set for the slow mo effect thank you! I loved your texture

[@duncfg]

Hello Luis, I believe we shot at 50fps. I then conformed them to 25fps. We shot on a Canon 550d, so I think it was actually 50 interlaced frames rather than the much smoother progressive frames. Of course, nowadays you can find a camera with much higher frame rates. Thank you for your comment.

[@almondrone]

what a powerful music video

[@TheRoshDawg]

Wow

[@Kaciunkaaa]

Oh my god this gave me chills, this is a great video! My eyes got teary by the end of it, i'm completely shocked i got this strong of a reaction from this film :o Well done!!

[@MyTagomago]

Sencillamente espectacular.

[@MorgEU24]

I always wondered what happened if a soulmate committed suicide. This video answered that for me, even if that was not it's original purpose. That was just how I interpreted it. Thank you for simply creating such a hauntingly beautiful piece of art. It is incredible and I cannot stop watching it.

[@PurDesirdeMimosa]

То про проблеми підлітків у країнах, де нема війни.... Нема ніякої війни, ані звичної, ані "гібридної"... Там рівень життя значно вищий, там нема колишніх комуністів, які звикли красти і звикли до вседозволеності, серед більшості олігархів... І все одно, хоч рівень життя значно вищий і вижити значно легше (проблема виживання сім'ї не постає перед більшістю підлітків), вони мають власні жахливі проблеми... Але ж вони можуть відчути себе частиною Людства і почати вирішувати проблеми глобального масштабу... Можуть, якщо їх підштовхнути вчасно ... і то теж шлях з безвиході ...

[@ethanmitchell7479]

HOLY SHIT I just realized that this don’t save us from the flames and teen angst are all the same story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s starts off with don’t save us from the flames where the boy picks up his girlfriend but sees another girl across the street his girlfriend then moves away and he falls in love with the girl across the street then in teen angst HIS GIRLFRIEND the blonde knows he no longer loves her that’s why she tries to call him and everything else then she goes to the beach at the end and sees the couple and she realized that things will get better and she will someday truly fall in love while in this video the BRUNETTE from don’t save us from the flames is with the boyfriend maybe sometime after or during teen angst (following a timeline here guys) he dies somehow maybe he died accidentally or committed suicide doesn’t exactly matter what does matter is the girl THE BRUNETTE from don’t save us from the flames ( I checked like 20 times trust me it’s her) tries to commit suicide but her friend saves her this entire story is a tragic love story my FUCKING mind just EXPLODED!!!!!!!!! It all makes sense now please send this to people or other comment sections so that they know!!!!!!! I’m literally blown away how M83 can do this so seamlessly and yet convey such beauty and emotion I love this band and for those who do suffer from depression and think about suicide often please don’t you may not know it but you are loved more than you know thank you for reading have a great day and spread the word!!!!!

[@joegvoll5126]

Cool video. But I keep hearing everyone talk about depression. You might want to start by not listening to depressing music all the time. I've noticed that. I know we like to listen to music that matches our state of mind, and there's a time and a place for emotional recollection. But if you're suffering with situational depression, try listening to more uplifting music and even comedic items. Now clinical depression, needs medical intervention...actuallyall Depression needs medical intervention if it lasts for more than a few weeks, or you're having thoughts of self-harm, violence, suicidal idiations, etc. Seek Help! Please! Otherwise just try lifting your mood with what you listen to, watch and your environment. Sometimes we climb into that isolation shell pretty deeply, and have to fight our way back out. But it's Worth it my Friend! You're Worth it!!

[@argent2020]

Ohhhh. I was listening to "Trouble to my left, trouble to my right...", then another song, everything went pitch black, about 2 hours later (NOW) woke up at a horrible video with a horrible music, one of those non sense videos that could only come from Europe.

I saw this comment some time ago, might have been a different copy of this video, but watch this video with the following music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6rNm2t4nNh1fbc Both M83 clips and both cause different impact while watching, such amazing work by all involved

[@itsdarachelyrach]

I got goosebumps from watching this. The video and music go along perfectly with each other.

[@michaeljackson48]

I cried too ... Holy fuck this video is so moving. Reminds me of my difficult situation with my boyfriend. I live on the other side of the world from him, i was forced to move away with my parents because I had to finish school in their expat life . Life doesnt want us together for the moment. Wtf did i just write ? God, I am too moved by this video.

[@jeffg.3097]

Outstanding work! Emotional and very powerful music goes perfect with the video which was well put together. The actors do a hell of a good job also. Seeing the physical affects as well and the mental distraught created by this evil in today's society, I can relate very well due to my profession as an EMT and firefighter. Whether accidental overdoses or suicides due to depression or losing someone is unfortunate and far too common.

[@juliat9891]

I see this like so. Boy commit suicide, girl attempts to as well. She turns up in “limbo” between life and death, where she sees “guardians” or “death angels” (they are people or spirits who guide you in or out of death) and her boyfriend. Notice the guarding stance and the way the guardians follow them as to not to allow them to be together because she’s fated to live. The couple dancing portrays maybe a drunk driving accident at a dance? I’m not sure. Anyways. They have their moment of embrace, and as he looks at her he realizes how ashamed he is. Because he should’ve never left. He made her do the same. He hurt her. As their moment comes to an end, other people who also committed suicide walk past. Almost in disgust. Her boyfriend is dragged away to wherever the afterlife is..And the guardians return and she’s brought back to life..

[@dianad123]

this is a genius work! so much emotion... this is very deep and complex! the music,the video,everything! i am so glad that i discovered this! this is the real ART!
