Official Birthday Music Video by The Crüxshadows

This is the Birthday video that was unfortunately taken down after it had over a million views:-( It was shot in Beijing China live. This is the web version of the Video. There are a few different versions or edits of this video.

[@worgenization]

The Cruxshadows are so underrated it's almost heartbreaking.

[@MeaganPhynix]

agreed.

[@melitaharris228]

I agree they are my favorite band ever.

[@rob587]

amen amen amen

[@mikejohnson9960]

yea its painful how little exposure they get.

[@mikejohnson9960]

they have so many good songs that really resonate emotionally I guess people are just cold to gothic rock.

[@mistyghosts9941]

When you're torn between loving the song and having an existential crisis - HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@robpickering1348]

This song ended my marriage, because I realized who I want to be before I die and I was not going down the right path. Thank you.

[@MeaganPhynix]

i watch this on my birthday every year....26 now. thank you so much CXS i love you guys

[@mrs.alienrope5778]

i watch this when i need inspiration or have doubts on what im doing or want to do. this makes me just yolo and do stuff i want to do like wear gothic lolita clothes or take a step and quit my job because im unhappy etc...

[@jeetkuneluke]

Same. I just turned 40.

[@angelwick]

It's a very instiping birthday song. I do the same thing.

[@swanrose9454]

[@floridahippyman1984]

[@sirprize5191]

DUDE she can play the violin perfectly even when jumping??

[@RogueShadowAngel]

rachel was amazing. she left i shortly after this to get married and settle down. they have two amazing violinist now... but she was there since almost the beginning and her presence is missed.

[@cornbread1968]

She is amazing

[@gianmurrieta2148]

The Cruxshadows is like a bright star in the middle of a dark sky. EBM tends to be dark in their lyrics but this bands brings a fresh happy and positive outlook in life. As a Christian i enjoy your music very much !

[@charlottewebb8223]

"Happy birthday, happy birthday," *awesome drums kick in*... then the violin. Gahhh my mom had such awesome music taste. I miss her so much.

Years ago I heard this song and I immediately got the guts to come out and transition and it changed my life so much for the better. Thank you

[@ImmoralMermaid]

I hope life is treating you well but this comment made my heart swell for you! From one stranger to another, I'm proud of you!

[@nonavailable4000]

Wow , could be the most meaningful straight forward song message in regards to ones personal journey in life !!! , it could've possibly changed millions of destinies to the better if it was given any decent air time on radio & TV ...

[@alvaromurcielago400]

Today is my 33 birthday, almost 13 years listening this Every birthday

[@mommydaughterchannel2611]

I thought i was the only one that did that. Every year the lyrics still hit.

[@C1nammonG1rl]

Haha same! 43 today

[@BrianDicksonRabidslug]

My 59th, do the same thing every year

[@milenenaja550]

I play this song EVERY birthday!!! Love this group!!

[@redmoon013]

Why was it taken down? >.> Thanks for re-uploading Rogue, we'll just start going for another million views again! :P

[@Kaidan2151]

Today I turned 29 and "Birthday" was, still is and always will be my favorite birthday song. :) Thank you for the great music!

[@vjaceslavsjanens6966]

Probably my favourite Crüxshadows line-up! 🖤

[@terrimeakin-rosario9189]

even on my worst days..this makes life so much brighter, love these people!

[@djscarygary2731]

Positive Energy Positively Perfect Performance Rogue He's got the moves and the grooves. The marching violinist The grooving swaying moves of the keyboardist & the 2 dancers the whole troop perfectly in sync together Yes 3-1 FYM The Cruxshadows are so underrated it's almost heartbreaking. but not by us Fans & Lovers of CXS

[@valitsaki]

42 today, I keep playing this song each year to remind me why I still choose to cling here.

[@carriew9597]

I turned 38 today and I have listened to this song on every birthday since I turned 21. It hits me just as hard every time. Live, Love, Be, Believe ❤️

[@stevelock4248]

Can't believe I've lived 49 years on this planet and only just discovered this group - outstanding!!!

[@floridahippyman1984]

Yea there great they been around for the longest time I don’t think there together anymore sadly. Bella Morte is similar to there sound u might dig them.

[@domakkeiss2271]

Welcome!

[@NelsonAlberto19]

listening to this song two days before my birthday, 26 years old . this songs give me faith to fight against all the troubles I ve got . Thanks cruxshadows for be part of my life nowadays.

[@rattymaxreilly5147]

I was not expecting the lyrics to be this deep and retrospective.

[@LunaTricksTelevision]

This is a great track. It is a legit tune! A gem in the rough for me, as I don't enjoy this artists music generally, but I love this song. I am a fan of the artist for this single song! Great lyrics and I dig the music! I heard it years ago, maybe a decade ago. But it has grew on me with time. We won't be young forever!

[@RogueShadowAngel]

oh man this song

[@Dracomandriuthus]

Same, to be honest. I remember them very well, and I really hope that they are happy wherever they are.

[@suemoro]

This song never fails to give me chills! Love this band!

[@CharMand3rs]

I listen to this every year on my birthday, since I was 19. I'm 26 today. It's always a great way to really look at yourself, and remind yourself of who you want to grow into.

[@angelica23luna90]

Listening to this song (and Voltaire's Happy Birthday My Olde Friend) on my birthday is my tradition. So here I am, now 23. These lyrics make more sense to me every year.

[@brianl8481]

Just wait til Voltaire's lyrics start making more sense to you.

[@babycuppycakegirl8737]

I saw them at Dragon con here in the big ATL in 2015. it was awesome.

[@ramdalion]

the last 7-9 years (since i discoverd this song) i have always listend to it on my birtday :) (may 10th. "today" ) its a wonderfull tradition that keeps me grounded and reminded that i dont got forever and to try to realize my dreams

[@patrickbuchheimer5080]

Ich habe die Band vor über 10 Jahren mal in Augsburg bei einem kleinen Livekonzert gesehen. Und die haben wirklich alles gegeben. Es gab immer wieder Zugaben, bis irgendwann die Tänzerinnen nicht mehr konnten. Und selbst dann kam Rogue nochmal raus für einen letzten Song. Für ihre Fans tun sie alles was sie können.

[@NorthForkFisherman]

This is the video that inspired me to go back to school and finish my dreams.

[@misterwriter1111]

Roll out of bed and look in the mirror And wonder who you are Another year is come and gone Today is your birthday but it might be The last day of your life What will you do if tomorrow it's all gone? You won't be young forever It's only a fraction to the sum You won't be young forever Nor will anyone So look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life What do you want to do? Look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life You haven't got forever Then tell me what really matters Is it the money and the fame Or how many people might eventually know your name? But maybe you touch one life And the world becomes a better place to be Maybe you give their dreams another day Another chance to be free You won't be young forever It's only a fraction to the sum You won't be young forever Nor will anyone So look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life And what do you want to do? Look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life It all comes back to you Happy birthday, happy birthday Happy birthday, happy birthday Happy birthday, happy birthday Happy birthday, happy birthday You won't be young forever It's only a fraction to the sum You won't be young forever Nor will anyone So look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life What do you want to do? Look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life It all comes back to you Look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life What do you want to do? Look at your life Who do you want to be before you die? Look at your life You haven't got forever

[@korajade88]

Every year on my birthday i listen to this, at midnight ill be 27, few moments left of being 26.

[@SoulOfTheReaver]

They played this today at the M'era Luna festival.... it was a transcendent experience!

67 and still listen every year!

[@sharkuc]

Never ceases to amaze me how much the Chinese are into subculture music. One of my favourite youtube videos for the longest time (before it disappeared/I lost the link) was one of Lacrimosa performing Ich Bin Der Brennende Komet somewhere in China and the audience going absolutely nuts...

[@Noname-zp7tg]

12 am - today is my birthday and I'm listening to this fabulous song 🥳

[@owenmcgee891]

This song has been inspiring me to do more, to be more, for years. Here's a relevant post from my blog: "Remember that your reach extends far beyond the people you interact with directly. Let's say you saved someone's life. Speaking as someone intimately familiar with suicidality, I'm sure you've saved a few, even if you didn't know it. Every kindness you visit on another has the potential to tip the balance of their life, to set them on a better path. Everyone that person helps, every good deed that person does for the rest of their life, is partially to your credit. The principle extends easily to other forms of influence: Encouraging artists to pursue their art means you're partially responsible for the existence of that art. Helping to mend a healer's broken heart also affects every person they help from then on. Everyone and everything is connected. Music is an especially strong force for connecting people, as it acts as a kind of shared emotional language which helps people to find things in common. Never forget that you are a vital member of a vast interdependent web of people who in some way, large or small, owe you thanks for making them better than they otherwise would have been."
