Every so often I remember this song and come back to relisten to it and it still blows me away every time. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years

[@JLady4]

I was just thinking a similar thing. So glad that it appeared on my playlist after a long while.

[@rebecca7410]

Me too. Love To Kill a King

[@TheLdrnova]

That's what I'm doing right now ✌️

[@annifender]

i just had a sudden urge to look it up and you're so right, it's just as good as it was ten years ago. i also love how 2014-coded this is: the indie harmonies, the self-madeness of the video (good old early youtube times), the stripy shirts, bastille...

[@khamul29]

It's 2023, still gives me the chills.

[@michellemartin7390]

I come back here on a regular basis. Just so fucking amazing.

[@michellemartin7390]

still here

[@laraaislinnlunna5818]

Me too, after all these years.. 🥲

[@Jansbury]

Same :)

[@MsGerms67]

@@Jansbury me too!

[@MillieMcDougall]

How Dan smiles and jumps while he sings is so perfect. Seeing him happy makes me so happy too, sorry if it sounds weird...

[@zay7244]

+Millie Δ Noo, I totally agree! One of my all time favourite videos!

[@MillieMcDougall]

Zadie Hurrell The same. I can never get tired of watching it, over and over again.

[@irobotKeri]

Ok. I love dan. I love bastille so much! But people please give ralph and to kill a king recognition here . Cos it is tkak's song and idea

[@luisemoller1024]

Imagine you are a neighbour, chilling in your garden because the weather is so nice and suddenly you hear this and just think: "what? are these my neighbours? since when do I have such talented neighbours?"

[@camillacolucci7576]

then you give a look and you see Dan Smith casually walking in your neighbours' garden. I'd either die or start screaming right when they'd be filming ahah

[@reereereena]

I love how Will is jus awkwardly standing there, chilling in the back

[@subarutransmittedinfection1036]

Karine Moura lmao

[@nonono6443]

He is honestly so sweet and cute

[@katielillys]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@awesomegmer86]

I love how Will is in the background wearing that long sleeved sweater lol

[@laraaislinnlunna5818]

I’ve never noticed him at all, just always watched the first row 😅

[@julfeder]

Whenever I watch this I am at peace.

[@lyrix8984]

Still my favourite thing on KZbin. So many great memories, thank you guys!

[@presentface6902]

Yay it does and I subbed to you before watching this vid so I watched all your vids

[@lyrix8984]

It really is!! & it just keeps giving!

[@vandithawidyalankara6657]

“this is how the summer ends” happy 8th anniversary to this video :)

[@serendipity4181]

My only peeve with this video is that I don't get to watch it for the first time, again.

[@PESmopotti]

❤️Same here

[@OfTheSeaKND]

It’s my first time watching it 😍

[@ishadrums]

this is my first time and i’m loving it!!

[@laraaislinnlunna5818]

Great thought 💭!!

[@georgematkin2658]

Now you've made me sad

[@haley4454]

It's so cute when Dan smiles while he is singing

[@BruhY2k]

Ikr?

[@justinadipippo3916]

i’m crying.. I remember listening to this on repeat back in 5th grade.. now i’m graduating highschool. Becoming older is such a cruel thing.

[@FunwithAlycat]

I listened to this on repeat when I was in 11th grade. I was 15. Now I’m 23, been out of high school for 6 years. Time is cruel.

[@justinadipippo3916]

@@FunwithAlycat Extremely sad how time flies.

[@laraaislinnlunna5818]

Ohh, nooo..just think of how many amazing experiences you’ve lived through! 🥰

[@veritom]

that is a very big balcony XD

[@PESmopotti]

Hearing this song again after 3 or 4 years gives me chills. I remember those times, sitting alone in my room and singing:"This is how the summer ends"

[@hazelwoods955]

Imagine living next door and going to your garden and hearing this. Magnificent.

[@rosettejf]

cant stop rewatching this episode. and i still find it cute how Dan peeks into that small paper

[@ketiucha]

Oh my, haven't noticed until now !!!!

[@jamiejaycox4506]

This is the type of video that makes me So Happy to just to be alive and be able to hear this song and i love how all these people can come together and make something so genuinely good like i dont even want to use the word "good" but i cant think of a good enough word to describe it

[@shinobita47]

this song will never grow old to me

[@nanchowell8616]

This is so amazing, I just wanna cry. Dan's smile throughout is just gorgeous, his dancing is the cutest... I just,..... This is seriously on repeat

[@dinoheras6364]

Imagine just walking in a park, and you stumble upon this.

[@alwayssalyssa]

Oh my god this is seriously so beautiful. Like i honestly can't get over how incredible this is. And Dan dances so cute c;

[@emy3982]

I know dan's dancing makes me like him even more :)

[@alwayssalyssa]

Sammee!!

[@BoyandBirchMusic]

My annual return to this masterpiece!

[@papayaaa1212]

2024 and this song and ensemble still finds its way back in my mind after 9 years from hearing this the first time

[@enjoyinglife9202]

This is one of these songs that are not very well-known; I just love them in that regard because they are those little gems in this heap of ill-inspired songs:D

[@PolinaTsurikova]

This is beautiful. Just found it randomly, and I love it!

[@emcohen6231]

LOVE THIS

[@kimuitslag6947]

Those randomly-found vids are the best, aren't they?

[@PolinaTsurikova]

kim uitslag Definitely, Sometimes when you come across something randomly, it either makes you cry or laugh like crazy.

[@thanhvo-sc1hm]

Ing and

[@kimuitslag6947]

Yeah it's so good. Some friends of mine complained about the fact that good artists such as 'Bastille' get into the mainstream charts, but I'm actually glad those artists also make it to the charts so that we get to hear music which isn't necessarily generic crap :p

[@AbsoluteAudits]

Dan doesn’t know what to do with his hands without a microphone to hold. Can’t believe this was 9 years ago... just crazy. Such a great time in my life, this brings it all back. Simpler times.

[@LadySarahLangley]

Dan's little hand gestures as he sings, cutie :3 Ralph is an amazing singer and I'm so glad I found Emily! They sound amazing together... Dan's cute 'dancing' though x

[@LadySarahLangley]

Just spotted Will in the background too

[@lilshane25]

His little dances are exactly what I was about to comment on! It's seriously adorable, and really something to point out. It just shows he's having fun, and he's getting into it.

[@LadySarahLangley]

He says he can't dance but its all lies, he has the cutest dancing ever :)

[@ambearrassing]

I love that you can tell this is the kind of thing Dan lives for. There's no denying how passionate he is about what he does. You only smile like that when you are beyond in love with what you're doing. Man, I want to smile like that some day.

[@marymills7085]

10 years later i'm still here ❤

[@alicesmith7854]

I love this so much and I've have watched it loads but this is the first time I've noticed Dan has a piece of paper with the lyrics on bless him, but that doesn't really matter because this gets better everytime i watch it!!

[@BucketHeadMC]

Oh wow.. I've watched this probably over 40 times right now, and I've never ever noticed that dan had a piece of paper in his hand, untill I read your comment! :P

[@alicesmith7854]

BucketHeadMC sorry if i've spoiled it for you now!

THIS IS SO FUCKING UNDERRATED IT'S UNBELIEVABLE....

God, this makes me so impossibly happy... Makes me think of those memories of peaceful, warm, summer days where a soft, cool breeze is blowing the white, puffy clouds around as I lie on the grass :):):)

[@arielmoon9519]

I only heard this the day before yesterday and it's all I've been listening to, nonstop. I'm in a bit of a rough place right now and I don't really need something to help me feel better, but just something to put me at peace, and that's what this song does for me, it puts me at peace. When I first listened to it, I thought it was kinda a long song, but now it's nowhere near long enough.
