My mom used to be a heavy alcoholic and I’d cry and cry to this song… but she’s been sober 7 YEARS🎉

[@fungi42021]

has she relapsed

[@Giveupyerowlsins]

Is she single

[@eggbirdtherooster]

Still one of my all time favorite songs ever! BIG LOVE for deeper styles of electronic music.. A genre that keeps inventing and rediscovering itself over and over again.. Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. 🙏🏼

[@th3d3wd3r]

Give purity ring a listen, Lofticries and begin again are fantastic tracks

[@is-ityou4636]

Duuuuude just come across this BIIIG LIUUVSSS !!!

[@Arad737]

Lots of good interpretations. Here's another: The man's wife left him because of his problems (can be emotional, behavioral). He's stuck in the infinite loop where he just can't let her go. Each time the loop repeats as he is coming to realise that it was his problems that caused her to go ("die by his OWN car running her over metaphor"). At the end he waits long enough to see that, and comes to realize how much his problem has f'd his life up. It's all about that moment of epiphany that many need (to become better versions of themselves), but most never get. You can also flip the story on her. She has done something bad. And he's trying to figure it out, trying to turn the page. But it's getting him worn down, frustrated. "Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the Why don't we turn the" He doesn't care what it is, he just wants her to stop acting weird and to stay: "Whatever you've done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on" The whole video could be about how frustrating it is when someone locks you out, when all you want is to be with them, and you don't care what they've done. This also fits with his reactions becoming more considerate. He gets closer to the reason why she's acting this way. And at the end, he finally sees why. Now if you really wanna push it far, you can short circuit both stories. At the end he realizes she's locking him out because of something HE has done. And here comes in the "getting run over by his OWN car". Only thing I can't figure out is why there is a Porsche parked in a garage with door open, while he drives an old Volvo. Is it because old habits are hard to let go?

[@mattsven]

What points to alcohol so strongly for you?

[@Lucas94clay]

Matt Sven Personal experiences would be my bet.

[@mattsven]

That seems to fit! Makes sense. Also fits with the fact that his reactions after subsequent visits seems to become more considerate than before.

The Legislator Wow, nice interpretation.

[@michaelsubaru1993]

he's stuck.. on the love .. on life... there is no progression for him. life will forever be looped.

[@crippledbrainwave]

Me :(

[@ciniminimini]

The story of my life 🥲

[@1994pavle]

[@richardq8667]

Never tire of sbtrkt and sampha collaborating!! They make incredible music 🙏🙏🙏

[@TrippyLiberty]

the last time I felt as frustrated as I do for the guy in this video was when I watched Spongebob repeatedly miss the bus ride from Rock Bottom back to Bikini Bottom.

[@rebelwithoutapplause5629]

:)

[@quinn8373]

Lmao I swear tho, I'm like jump through window but don't keep your eyes off of her

[@marlonkannon9986]

I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch new series online?

[@koolkafe]

Me remembering this album after all these years definitely means good things about to come.🚀🌙❤

[@edgarivyvbkbms8497]

Slaps still to this day and forever

[@itsmerachelpinheiro]

Yep

[@marcelotulio]

This is a piece of art. I keep coming to watch this masterpiece from time to time.

[@Oneofusisthekiiller]

Song never gets old, I forget about it and then It finds me again 💙🎶

[@Harrissssonn]

Same here, it just popped in my head

[@Jjjaelyn]

This song had me in a chokehold

[@cguillionwilliams]

Been, for years

[@totezbrah]

I can listen to this forever, already have been listening to this for four hours. Great song.

[@patrycja413]

Me too

[@victoriasummers9416]

This tune is one of my favourites over the last couple of years.. amazing, i love it..

[@AllTheseWordsAreTrue]

Can't get enough of sbtrkt!! One of the main reasons why this blows most chart shite out of the water, is the sheer fact, this has meaning behind it. Don't find that often these days, just people singing for money as usual! Sbtrkt, absolute class... my ears thank you!

[@timlambourne]

It's like a Gregory Crewdson photograph but with one of the best songs of last year underneath. Perfect.

[@sanaamer9463]

Oh How'd you mean?, What do you mean you're not coming by? I called you later and you were outside It always screams screams inside my head Curtains closed you'd be beside my head You were always down for it Get in this getaway and we run from it Yeah, you were always down for it Get in this getaway and we run from it You're giving me the coldest stare Like you don't even know I'm here Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the You're giving me the coldest stare Like you don't even know I'm here Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the What you've done, what you've done you can't keep inside By the end of the night I'll help you confide Cause I can see, see your sad self Cause I can see you're not being yourself Cause usually you're down for it Can't hold back a smile when you try for it Yeah, cause usually you're down for it Can't hold back a smile when you try for it You're giving me the coldest stare Like you don't even know I'm here Why don't you let me sing? Why don't you let me Why don't you let me sing? Why don't you let me You're giving me the coldest stare Like you don't even know I'm here Why don't you let me sing? Why don't you let me Why don't you let me sing? Why don't you let me Whatever done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on Whatever done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on Whatever it is, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on Hold on hold on hold on, hold on hold on hold on Why don't

[@VickHushpuppy215]

First time feeling emotional from a music video in a very long time, a lot of us has been here & still haven’t realized it shit hurts so much

[@tropuni7088]

when i listened to this 4 years back it only had 100k man the world is changing fast. make sure you try to take advantage of this unique time we are in!

[@Jjjaelyn]

HOW AM I NOWWWWW JUST WATCHING THE VIDEO

[@Trickshotfame]

Whenever I listen I remember how lonely I feel

[@asian6oy]

Same… 😞

[@CooperNikkus]

Maybe it's the chilling, whispery falsettos? The simple, calm, but driving beats? The subtlety? The airiness? The ethereality? Yeah...I dig it too.

[@oojahlanai]

Glad a video can finally accompany this song.. One of the best songs of 2011!

[@TruLuvW0n]

It's music and voices like this that takes you to the better part of the human imagination. Somehow I wish music like this was a language and we'd all speak it and finally come to some kind of peace.

[@jessemidget149]

I seem to be playing this everytime I'm sad, SBTRKT

[@ThePeacePlant]

The whole album is amazing! ive been on this cd since day 1 . I had so many amazing times and straight amazing/blissfull moments with this song expecially and others on the album!

[@stressedoutmonkey754]

Where are you THE FUCK i need you in 2021 more than ever pls SBTRKT PLS!!

[@Squishyharibo]

I have never felt bliss like standing in a field and listening to this live, they were incredible at Reading Festival and if you get the chance to see them then fucking go because it was amazing

[@alicecfi]

[@frazerrobinsonlol]

[@frankk3105]

This video really hit home. Perfect blend of music, sound and video. I adore the way the msg is delivered in many forms. One of my fav this year, thanks for sharing and posting.

[@naailnilam5907]

Im 13 and Im glad tht I know such awesome music. There are no beautiful words that can I can describe about SBTRKT. You are clearly my favourites!

[@Niggatron713]

u must be a "music philosopher" now if your taste was this good at 13 lol

[@aiondiogo]

Love everything with a Volvo!!!

[@mhatthei]

Thansk youtube for finally making the lpaylist visible! About time. And i love this video and tune a lot.

[@nahomy231]

This song brings me back to memories when I used to shuffle to this song in 2013 ): used to listen to this song everyday non stop

[@raczmarta8191]

I love it! It helps me hold on!

[@NakedDaoist]

I think it kinda sucks that the vocalist name isn't more apparent. Sampha you did a great job man, as always!

[@madlen9401]

2023and still on fire 🖤🔥

[@gubourn]

This is beautiful beyond words.

[@TheSpectroKidd]

The whole beat and Melody is just like its Waves are just traveling around your brain

[@BoRodgers]

[@KaliaH]

BRB WHILE I CRY MY HEART OUT IDK WU T I S THI SIS SO GOOD.

[@DookaDaMuS]

Randomly got this recommended holy shit it's a benn minute

[@idontnoapassword]

Are you kidding me? have you heard the music 13 year olds listen to do these dys? it's terror to my years. to see 13 year olds who have good takes in music at such a young age is awesome.

[@Ayshy173]

everything about his song is just so right. Absolutely amazing

[@caketyn]

SO goddamn beautiful. Can't stop, won't stop listerning

[@steverotax]

lighting in this video is very much like that of gregory crewdson! Like it a lot and the song... well... sbtrkt and sampha were put on this earth to make music together!!

[@azmoleo]

saw these guys live the other day. A recommended must !!

[@subpolarity]

intro seriously sounds like a Nokia ringtone

[@ZeranZeran]

+subpolarity lol god damn it

[@ashthevibe3662]

HAHAHAHAH

[@nuttin1031]

this video is just amazing. it totally reflects what i thought when i first listened to this song.

[@TheLildman123]

I thought it was about him not getting over her leaving him so through his mind it's déjà vu but at the end he realizes he can't do anything about it she's gone

[@juliannakirksey9065]

Yes me too!

[@giosalamanca453]

+Complex King In fact that´s what happened men...with other words, but it´s pretty much what he realizes, his love crash her long time ago...

[@woogonin]

this is a brilliant song, cannot wait to see him at Reading & Leeds

[@frutini]

oh 2012/13… best music and best mdma 😍

[@PaperadiGomma123]

It's part of the loop: it's his mind playing tricks and inviting him to drive once again

[@aboutheone2929]

j adore juste un groupe qui me donne des frissons surtt celle la BRAVO

[@lowzor95]

It really does!

[@MrOliverJack1]

Just ordered the 12" of this from young turks...so excited!

[@letsBRAINWASH]

[@ej-101]

Wherever you’ve goneeee I worry about it, hold on hold onnn

[@wh0op3r]

amamzing video..possibly the best i ve ever come across

[@lrkazy27]

A comment like this would have been praised back in 2008, but now people your age are producing/making music like this. With the internet being more widely used, musicians like sbtrkt build their fanbase off of the internet nowadays. So honestly, your comment doesn't surprise many.

[@asiabenoit4908]

age has alot to do with liking good music , its the next genarations that keep the music alive and known

[@DOLL103ISHOWIKEEPIT]

I HAVE BEEN INTO SBTRKT FOR A WHILE IM JUST EXCITED THAT THEY FINALLY HIT THE STATES ON MTV SO I CAN SHARE THE WEALTH IN A CONVERSASTION AND SOMEONE MIGHT ACTUALLY KNOW WHO IM TALKING ABOUT NOW ... LOL

[@jayman691]

I LOVE the subtle WUB WUB riffs during the chorus :D Sbtrkt you're awesome

[@samwalker5077]

The first time you watch this video it seems like it's an eternity

[@MRAnonymous120]

Just discovered this banger🙌

[@JamiePaulSmithTV]

An awesome video which nicely compliments an awesome song.

[@SmokedOutDreamer]

thoroughly tripped out. thanks.

[@xmisst01]

Come to Montreal!!

[@sukibuki]

Lucky you! You better enjoy it! How can you not ;))

[@django60617]

its about time!

[@JasleynSanghera]

Reading performance was phenomenal!

[@Inksteps]

This brings a wry smile to my face

[@MrCraiggyc1]

SBTRKT is MM Food

[@danyboy931]

sure hope you dont feel that way every day... LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL :)

[@chickBieber1]

I love this song so much!

[@sheeeeeeesh54]

Great song. Great video.

[@ChristopherCardose]

Much Love From Bestival!

[@0cietykilledtheteens]

They were so amazing at Lattitude this year

[@pumakel1]

Yaaaas at first I thought it was James Blake their voices sound sooo similar could have sworn it was him but alas it was not ..none the less I love this song ..it's the cold stare that got me

[@MoreAnonymous]

History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.

[@arph973]

i need 10 hour version of it...

[@prllnw]

Ce chef-d'œuvre...

[@Aquarius00219]

This is my fav song!

[@madladjunoir288]

bravo where have i heard this before, brings back memories but can't tell if if its special or i just heard it in topman lol

[@ctwolf]

There is a loop of him chasing her several times and him noticing his door is ajar when he had closed it. In dreaming you look for catches like this in-order to realize it and control it making it a lucid dream. It seem's towards the end he either gives up realizes something else and doesn't pursue her. Whether it was a split of dimensions that they represented or the same conciousness stuck in a loop is harder to say.

[@baconbread.]

can't stop repeating

[@sweethoneydew50]

This song is amazing. It takes me to another place I cant describe. How isnt thos mainstream. Also is the video about him trying to save his wife before she gets hit by a car

[@Raystunnaa98]

House phone 📞 brought me back

[@ColumRogers]

That is really peaceful and relaxing. xx))

[@Nehmaiz]

Love this tune... absolutely stuck on it... reminds me of someone though

[@missj4yde]

[@iamlanadelrey]

this song is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good

[@chrismac5046]

Definitely provided inspiration but I think its fair to say Sam took it to the next level.

[@conorstephens95]

Cannot wait till i see him at reading on sunday.

[@lourdaisclenetfabienne6833]

Tanks nova

[@hotfrog0071]

here from the future beautiful song...

[@Puuuurrrr]

What the fuck I discovered this song just last year during a molly bender. I’ve attached so much to myself and to this song I can’t hear it often because of what it invokes I didn’t know this was an old song…..time is so irrelevant
