The Kite String Tangle - Arcadia (Official Video)

[@UNCLECHUDKINZ]

This is kinda one of my favorite songs of all time I think..

[@DeathBySuiside]

I feel you on that. It's my comfort song and I come back to it when I need it throughout the 10 years. I'm currently listening to it at work lol

[@stephw922]

Danny Harley (lead singer) said this about the meaning behind the song: “Arcadia” represents an unobtainable ideal that we all create in certain situations. In this case it focuses on a post-relationship situation where you want to go back to that comfortable space that the relationship represented, but things have changed and that place doesn’t exist anymore. It doesn’t stop us from striving for it even though it might be out of reach.

[@JJ-bf6dx]

Stephanie Wow. This is exactly where I'm at. Been almost a year. The memories are like an endless Hollywood movie replaying in my head day after day

[@alayaaziz3036]

Stephanie that's sad as fuck

[@bboykalypto5767]

Hey, that's cool, basic but cute

[@mohammeddissent8524]

this is so deep and sad

[@jhaleesi]

same but a few months now.

[@nenacoulombe1859]

The emotion that this song pulls out of me literally makes my stomach hurt, its that good. I am IN LOVE with Arcadia.

[@arcadia6598]

Nena Coulombe my name is Arcadia

[@SAN_DRA.33]

I always come back to this song. I'll be seeing you again in 2021

[@danielsymoens4031]

same this is just one of those i need to feel songs

[@FireflyR-l4u]

This song is about a failed relationship: it shows how we go from idealizing every little detail about someone, falling in love with each detail and unique thing about that person. The song reflects on how when the relationship started, they idealized each other. They felt like they “came full circle”, like yin and Yang; they completed each other and made each other feel whole. Everything made sense: this is displayed through an array of objects which imply harmony, order and balance. Two things entwined in a perfect circle, like yin and Yang or two rings tied into a knot. A perfectly folded paper crane. However, as the relationship began to fall apart, all we catch are rapid flickers of what once was. There is closeups of the idealized visions of their earlier relationship, played out as the couple focuses more intensely on the images of their love’s idealistic path. they stopped seeing each other. All they had was the lost sight of what they once had. They tried to make it work out even as their relationship fell apart. They hoped desperately and quietly that the other person would reach out to them, but they went down together. There’s something so painfullly familiar about sleeping in someone else’s shirt-when they’re not there.

I don't know why but I randomly thought of this song (which led me here), I remember listening to it growing up but haven't thought about it in years. Anyways, just wanted to let you know your comment very much beautifully captures this song and makes so much sense now, thanks for this 🙂

[@joshuachhakchhuak6799]

it's been sooo long since I've last listened to this! It's still as good as the first time I heard it too!

[@aliciaasc4996]

I listened to this five years ago with my sister late at night driving. She’s my inspiration. My sisters name is Pronounced Arcadia. I miss her every day and every time I listen to this it reminds me of her and the good moments in life we shared. I love you always ❤️

[@Mjspc]

I love how Spotify introduces me to some good music 💕😭

[@WeCouldntFindNameYet]

This song was on my ear when i was in an unfamiliar city where i was taking a bus to a stranger's home i met 3 days ago. I still remember that 2014 summer. And to this day, i remember this song from time to time, it's on my memory box playlist so i will remember it fondly for many more years. It's a song that somehow touches to my soul every time i listen to it. Such a geeat masterpiece 👏

[@corn6514]

i am SO GLAD that spotify showed me this song. The first song I've ever cried to. One more loyal supporter here

[@calemdunphy9657]

I bought the album for this 3 years ago after hearing Arcadia for the first time. To this day it is still my all time favourite song! Every time i hear it i feel like i'm hearing it for the first time all over again, which is something i never thought music could do to me. Thank you Danny for making such a wonderful masterpiece.

[@alayaaziz3036]

Me too! That's deep! No how many times i listen it still sounds new and fresh

[@muthoni6943]

This song randomly popped in my head for the first time since 2014, and I couldn't remember what it was called or who sang it. But here I am and I'm so happy to be here.

[@JVSTINO_BEATS]

This song was on her fall asleep playlist every night when we were together. Coming across it now months after she left me has me in more tears than I care for right now. Very touching song 💕

[@Philosopearl]

There's a lot of sadness without bitterness in this beautiful song......

[@jeffreyrainey1015]

And no one's at fault.

[@coco1223ful]

this video literally encompasses everything the song is saying omggggg

[@meghanfleming5006]

Why not on the charts ?!

[@GhostGamingChannel1]

Triple J

[@sdrawkcabdaer]

meghan fleming because it's a good song

[@Jezh42]

Congrats on coming 15th in the Triple J Top 100! Definitely deserved it!

[@LeRoiPapayou]

I don't even remember where I found this song. Old soundcloud playlist from what I remember. But TKST and the Eden Project have a special place in my heart. Still 7 years later it still hits.

[@Neojhun]

Perfection. The Video may be literaly a bunch of abstract snippets. But it makes soo much sense in visualising the drama of TKST's music. Arrgghhh song has been stuck in my head for days.

[@michealwilson5653]

I heard this song while watching Saving Hope, many songs have touched my heart but only a select few are able to touch my spirit.

[@JLEffizy]

this song pulls my heart strings like crazy.

[@oVALARo]

I heard this song at a party last night and I literally yelled, "SHUT UP" so everyone would be quiet while I shazam'd it to figure out the song lmao

[@alayaaziz3036]

I know that's Right!

[@patrickluka8513]

pro trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.

[@donovancrosby7043]

@Patrick Luka yea, I have been using Flixzone for since november myself =)

[@emmittcairo7619]

@Patrick Luka Yea, I've been using Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@theravingcritic]

WARNING: Don't watch this if you just went through a break up........Seriously. It's been a long time since my last one, but it brings up all kinds of feelings...but it makes me feel sorry for anyone else who went through a tough one. Beautiful song and video.

[@AliciaDF]

Stop saying who brought you all here and let's talk about the video! I loved it because it's not vulgar when it's obvious that they're making love... Well done!!!

[@katertot97]

this song came on shuffle and I'm so glad it did.

[@madisonleigh1119]

Love this song and your profile pic

[@luckyxxxxk]

No matter how old this song gets, it will always be one of my favorites!!! 😊😊

[@aarond9563]

Those close up shots were actually really beautiful!

[@Jaden3459]

Life brought me here.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

What a great concept for a video...VERY POWERFUL!!

[@novaleigh6562]

I love how he sings "shades of blue". One of my favorite songs

[@Ericcodeman]

i think this one of my favorite music videos a lot of symbolism and very creatively done.

[@KuroiHato69]

This is my favorite song from the album! Absolutely pulls at something deep inside! Love the video! Great editing! Sometimes things don't come full circle.... *sigh*

[@jamilahtigner9009]

My faith in music videos can now be restored. This is a great video.

[@thedangdudes1481]

Thank you Connor for bringing me to this wonderful song. Crown is my life now

[@ekmaiyleawilliams8620]

This song will always take me back to probably one of the best camping trips of my life, and all i can think of is why didn't i take more photos.

[@itslikelan]

OMG. I did not expect the video to be this awesome! Love this song already. Lol

[@kylieg9472]

This song is so mesmerizing to me it's crazy

[@KerpKat]

[@cosmicunity8974]

A cosmic angel

[@arcadia6598]

MY NAME IS ARCADIA, this makes me feel so special💗💗🥺🥺 I love you guys because of this!

[@RaphaelGarcia]

Just had to revisit this one... Still waiting for their music to take off! Too good ❤️

[@MonetYasmine]

I hunted this song for weeks! At the last minute the word Arcadia came into mind! I'm so glad I finally found it again!! I wish there was an app that could help you find artists or songs that you've forgotten about.

[@AliciaDF]

Talent is underrated. This song is amazing

[@mayalovestacs]

This is probably my favorite song..like...ever

[@amycutieismysister2]

This song is so beautiful.

[@AcadiaB]

My friend used to play this song whenever someone would say my name during one of the best months of my life but now I'm home alone without any of those friends sobbing over the fact that even if I go back there it won't be the same

[@trevorwhitlock1913]

I gotta say I like everything about this song.

[@kaushi23]

I'm just addicted to this song.. ♥️♥️♥️

[@zoecooper4460]

Congrats on #15 in JJJ Hottest 100!! Well deserved. This is an amazing song, loving it so much!

[@PrincessEmpzz]

Both the song and music video are freakin amazing. Holy crap.

[@lesababy]

Saving Hope brought me here. This song sums up the characters Charlie and Alex perfectly.

[@carastyles6320]

this song has me feeling some type of way❤😢

[@ciaracampbell7875]

Im doin a contemporary dance to this song and the choreo is amazing

[@roz4975]

Please don't rag on people who are here because they found this song through Connor or Troye. It just means that more people are being exposed to great music. I don't think you are superior just because you found this video/artist on your own as opposed to through someone who has a much larger audience. And even if you did find the song through them, you went to go watch the video because you liked or were intrigued by the song, right? What's important here is the appreciation of music, not how you found it :)

[@TheWordIsAbsolute]

Rosalind Farrell thank you i found this song watching the tv series Saving Hope. Ive found a new song

[@that70sshow97]

TheWordIsAbsolute same

[@karissaconlon960]

I love this songI heard it on triple j a few days ago and I was hooked I had to hear it again, and the video is amazing it is paced perfectly and the camera's extreme close ups draw the viewer into the action,we go on a journey with this couple and their intimacy and heartache become a shared experience.

[@lookslikemustard]

[@riss1381]

I swear this song was important in my past life.

[@marygrace3343]

This is literally how it feels when you walk past someone you used to love

[@katelynmarie6874]

[@under_score2268]

Truly incredible.

[@thebutcher1996]

I found this because I like the artist!

[@JessicaSmith-xy1pk]

Bittersweet and absolutely broken. Loving him was meant to be heartbreak from the beginning but I couldn't help but fall. Where part of me wishes he never existed, the other refuses to forget him. Goodbye was simply inevitable.... So we walked towards each other, met in the middle, and walked right past. Sometimes things don't come full circle. 😔 This song says it all.

[@mars-ew5vh]

Yes, Connor brought me here. Don't hate on him. It's his passion for music. But this song - I love it! It's amazing! My new favourite,
