I know this sounds stupid but I honestly don't understand how anyone can not like this band. They're music is good for every occasion, it just fits. They're soothing, yet amazing and exhilarating at the same time, it's the kind of music that makes me want to travel the world, explore do shit with my life.
Yeah, it does sound stupid. People have different tastes. Get over it. Nothing more annoying than a people asking "How can someone dislike something I LIKE?!!!"
I've been a big fan of Bastille for many years and I've lived in Durban almost my whole life, yet i just discovered this song today. I got goosebumps right now as i was listening to it. So beautiful
I love when songs are so relatable but still remain fully understood by only a certain group of people such as this one. It makes the music feel more personalised but still unifying.
Ugh, I LOVE Bastille. And this is definitely one of my FAVES. Has anyone seen the Abbey Road "Flaws" performance? Literally still gives me goosebumps to this day!
I often get emotional by this song and these comments saying that this song is relatable for them because their parents are also from Durban. This is so cute
All that I've got to be thankful for All that I've got to be thankful for In the heat, try to love these streets In this town, it all went down Our chromosomes in sepia tones In my mind, in my mind Where you lead your lives Before from our small island Brought right back to these shores To these shores, to these shores It’s alive, It’s alive When I see it through your eyes It’s alive, It’s alive Now I understand your lives When you take me there You show me the city I see it through your eyes When you take me there We drive through the city Beneath the Durban Skies Oh oh oh. All that I've got to be thankful for On the day you made your vows The heaven’s opened, rain poured down It poured down Down, down Grey and brown, the seventies It suits you wore, and the ones you loved Were so young, were so young, Lord, you were so young It’s alive, It’s alive When I see it through your eyes It’s alive, It’s alive Now I understand your lives When you take me there You show me the city I see it through your eyes When you take me there We drive through the city Beneath the Durban Skies Oh oh oh. All that I've got to be thankful for Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for All that I've got to be thankful for It’s alive, It’s alive When I see it through your eyes It’s alive, It’s alive Now I understand your lives When you take me there You show me the city I see it through your eyes When you take me there We drive through the city Beneath the Durban Skies When you take me there, ooh When you take me there It’s alive, It’s alive When you take me there It's alive, It's alive
"Grey and brown, the seventies". One of the most dumbest lyrics I've ever heard. I need some Metallica to clean out my ears. Even "St. Anger" is better than this pathetic little excuse for a song. I wish this song was buried deep in the ocean where nobody could ever hear it again. Yes, it's really that bad.
the fact that Dan Smith wrote a song about his parents meeting and falling in love in Durban is so heartwarming
Yus it is so nice :)
he's so great. i can't get over it.

Not everyone likes mellow music.
I know, right? They're music is so beautiful!
That don't sound stupid.
**Pokes head into chat room**
“Their!”
“Doesn’t!”

(I honestly agree, though)

this song makes me realize how thankful i am that dan's parents met and have him

Durban Tourism missing a trick here, official tourism anthem!
I'm from Durban SA and even after 20 years in the UK this song evokes so many memories.
im having my mum who's from durban (we moved to Canada) listen to this and she's saying how much she can relate to it
TomaszJohan HuntervdBerg Same!!!
Best part 3:25 when the word 'skies' starts bouncing around from ear to ear. This music takes me places.
Skyleon I never noticed this before
Oh damn. It does !
That’s something no solo performance will ever achieve 🤢
I recently got admitted to the university where my parents met 40+ years ago. I feel this song so much.
I love when songs are so relatable but still remain fully understood by only a certain group of people such as this one. It makes the music feel more personalised but still unifying.
I literally repeating this song like everyday for more than a month. Never gets tired of it.
Ugh, I LOVE Bastille. And this is definitely one of my FAVES.
Has anyone seen the Abbey Road "Flaws" performance? Literally still gives me goosebumps to this day!
I find it very cute that Dan wrote this song
i was a huge stan back in 2014 when i was in nineth grade. my god the time flies.
I used to live in Durban (moved to the uk 4 years ago) and this song brings back so many touching memories
I really like this song because my parents also grew up, met and fell in love in Durban
I often get emotional by this song and these comments saying that this song is relatable for them because their parents are also from Durban. This is so cute
I love bastille I'm going to a concert in a few months and I LOVE this song.
Red fox films where?
I'M SO EXITED TO SEE BASTILLE IN APRIL!
I think this is the most underrated song in that album. Aaaaa it’s just so beautiful and learning the meaning of it now mm
good quality music. A lot of times the quality of the audio is bad in these types of video, but this is a major exception. great job on it!
oh gosh, why am I a fan of bastille and I hadn't know this song since nowww😢😢
...true
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard ❤️
I am deceased. This is so beautiful. It has so much meaning to me.
I cry every time I listen to this song
Natalia Salamanca glad I’m not the only one
This song makes me nostalgic for something and I don't know what I just get a filling feeling when I listen to it
Love this band !!!
My absolute favourite Bastille song ❤️
This is by far the most underrated Bastille song
Just a correction, it's "understand your lives" rather than "Lies".
It changes the meaning completely, thank you!
My bad and thanks for the correction :) I found the lyrics on the Internet :)
Bangod Sisters Love the song, thanks for providing the video. It's really challenging to figure out lyrics sometimes.
SOUTH AFRICAN SQUAD WHERE Y'ALL AT???
Here!
we here
"And I hope you like it"- Dan
2020 brought me here
I think it's "God, you were so young" not "Boy, you were so young".
I'm in love with this song
Got the feels now...
This makes me want to fall in love
awh this song is cute
I'm sitting here like "Oh my gods stop thinking of Will and Nico"
its about his parents (:
you enjoy music when you're happy and you understand music when you're sad.
All that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for
In the heat, try to love these streets
In this town, it all went down
Our chromosomes in sepia tones
In my mind, in my mind
Where you lead your lives
Before from our small island
Brought right back to these shores
To these shores, to these shores
It’s alive, It’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, It’s alive
Now I understand your lives
When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban Skies
Oh oh oh.
All that I've got to be thankful for
On the day you made your vows
The heaven’s opened, rain poured down
It poured down
Down, down
Grey and brown, the seventies
It suits you wore, and the ones you loved
Were so young, were so young,
Lord, you were so young
It’s alive, It’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, It’s alive
Now I understand your lives
When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban Skies
Oh oh oh.
All that I've got to be thankful for
Oh, all that I've got to be thankful for
All that I've got to be thankful for
It’s alive, It’s alive
When I see it through your eyes
It’s alive, It’s alive
Now I understand your lives
When you take me there
You show me the city
I see it through your eyes
When you take me there
We drive through the city
Beneath the Durban Skies
When you take me there, ooh
When you take me there
It’s alive, It’s alive
When you take me there
It's alive, It's alive
WHY AM I CRYING
+ the way he sings "Durban" fuckkkkkkkkkkk
I cry
This is the song of Annie and Finnick's child as the child learns about the story from its mother.
WHY MUST YOU HURT ME IN THIS WAY
It's "now I understand your lifes"
+Magda K please be correct when you correct others, lives*
auto-correction :(
*a wild cat appears* Memoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Hear it when I was born dead.
What are the words in the beginning, before the song starts?
what words?
All That I've Got To Be Thankful For, All That I've Got To Be Thankful For, In The Heat, Try To Love These Streets
Sleepsong Bastille Those words are pseudo-spoken by Dan Smith at the beginning.
+Sleepsong Bastille Q
QUELLO CHE MI ASPETTO DA TE
*lives
look.
why so squished
"Grey and brown, the seventies". One of the most dumbest lyrics I've ever heard. I need some Metallica to clean out my ears. Even "St. Anger" is better than this pathetic little excuse for a song.

So don't listen to it
Bastille is so talented, and I don't see a studio album from you
You've obviously never been to South Africa
