This song has to be the best 'unknown' song ever. No one I know has ever heard of the GROUP never mind this song. I've heard it too many times... far too many. Beautiful
I think maybe the video is about marriage turned lacklustre and the frustration that come with it. So their actions end up being sort if cathartic and in the end they feel better as it brings the spark back into the marriage. They also realise they put all their materials before love and when they lose them, all that is left is love - hence them feeling better with each other. Just my interpretation.
Ever since I first heard a Zero 7 song (Destiny), I've been hooked. Love the group, love Sia. Wish I could catch them do a show here in America. UK rocks!
+Cher L I'd been a big fan of Bjork. I loved her weirdness but it started to irritate me. Like she was forcing herself too much to complicate all the songs and make them not understandable. I really liked how she kept things simple like on Homogenic when every song was a fucking masterpiece. Or Verspertine's Pagan Poetry which was like the rawest song on the record. I agree with you Bjork's voice is way ahead of everyone, but so is Sia's. They are both weird. Both have funny accent. Both don't want to be famous. Both have an incredible range. But Sia is like a pop version of Bjork. More available for everyone else. Not as much alienated. I like Sia more now cause she keeps things to herself too, covers face and private life but she's open to admit that she was a drug addict and she's still so funny and excited. She laughs all the time. She also does something that everyone else doesn't. She always sings live and always chooses the highest note. Not like Rihanna or other artist who just give up and let the choir or backing track do it. Bjork had a lot of badass high notes but she doesn't really sing them live, she just changes a vocal melody (which is creative too) and lowers it. Sia always sings the chorus of Chandelier and Alive and her voice can do pretty much more things and she has more control. She does her vibrato consciously and it's really fast. I would say that only Beyonce is better if it comes to control (Beyonce is half afro so she kind of had more talent in her blood).
nothing as amazing as someone you love sitting on the edge of your bed singing this to you especially when its the first time they tell you they love you . that memory will live with me forever .
hilarious video... such a great song.. i find every song of zero 7 to be the best song ever, and then i end up hearing the next one and i go like damn ! thats awesome! love zero 7!!!!
Great song. Love this album. The song is very soulful and tragically beautiful as you say. But the video seems to fit the lyrics to me. "I can nearly guarantee/You'll end up with the boot." "I love you, I do./I only make jokes to distract myself from the truth." Seems more to me that the comical nature of the video comes from the "only make jokes" part of the chorus. That's just me though. ::shrug:: Great video for a great song imho. :)
J'aime beaucoup le Groupe Zero 7 et "Distractions" entre autres. Cette vidéo démontre jusqu'à quel point les relations de couple peuvent dégénérer, exagérément bien sûr, mais qui n'a pas déjà eu envie....Merci. Belle distraction...♥
I laughed when she did that things to her husband and smile when her husband cut her dog's hair. Even though they fight and destroyed their own home, they are still love each other. But what really explained everything is the lyrics. I like this !
this is an awesome example of how not all conflict is bad conflict. people try so hard to make everything perfect, sometimes you just gotta cut lose and make shit happen [even bad shit :) ]
This is a rare glimpse in the the quality of zero 7. Ive had a personal relationship with this music for years. I listened to all of their albums in order one night, & really, I wish they had made music videos for all of them. amazing. simple amazing.
honestly the fact that it's a "mixed couple" kinda throws me. Was it meant to be part of the message in any way, or not? Not that either way is negative, but was mainstream entertainment still stubbornly pretending race didn't matter in the early 2000s?
We are surprised listening zeroseven... but they just do one thing... composing, producing and performing real music and not only a sinth loop like the 90% of the actual groups... only great, pure music, my ears love them!
I have loved this band since 02. This song (tearfully) was always my favorite on the album. However ? Having seen THIS VIDEO for the first time about 2 years ago? I was able to turn what USE TO BE, a sort of dark song with a REGRETTABLE declaration of LOVE, into sort of a : Less painful ( still beautiful ) bitter sweet portrait of the up's and downs of having someone in your life whom you'd never want to be without..
Are you kidding? This is a fantastic video. I laughed so hard, and wept at the end. How many videos can do that? When she attacks him with the oven mitts, I just died!
Thatøs exactly what came on my mind aswell, American Beauty :'D This song is pure beauty and this video kicks ass! :D shame they didnt make videoes for all their songs
I had no idea there was a video to this. I think the video is a little too light for what I consider an extremely serious, sullen, atmospheric song. This is also very much a night song to me. Great to chill to when the hours roll around to the AM.

Totally underrated band, Zero 7... some great tracks, especially the ones with Sia 🤟
Never to many ❤ it always brings so many feelings this song . Underrated group and hit
👇
April 2020 ... still hits a nerve for me …. love it
Sure does. Doesn't it?💗
2021 here
No Touchy what
2023♍
Sia before her recent fame, still fabulous, she's amazing
I remember this song when it first came out. It's 2022 and it still hits, meaning this woman is beautiful!
2019 and I'm still watching. I love this song & video.
I love this band and this album "Simple things"
The whole album is amazing
February 2022. Still an immaculate track
Sia has one of the most magical, mesmerizing female voices I've ever heard. I think of warm honey when she sings.
I think maybe the video is about marriage turned lacklustre and the frustration that come with it. So their actions end up being sort if cathartic and in the end they feel better as it brings the spark back into the marriage.

"When there's nothing left but love " ♥︎
I never cry but the first time i heard this I really felt something. LOve the contrast of the sad song and the funny video!!! :)
Man, this song does me in every time. I love you.
I could listen to this on repeat for hours. Beautiful
May 2024 Still hitting the same old nerve like it did over 20 years ago
It's crazy how I discovered this group while watching the movie "Obsessed". I had never heard of them and now I love this group! Great music.
Ever since I first heard a Zero 7 song (Destiny), I've been hooked. Love the group, love Sia. Wish I could catch them do a show here in America. UK rocks!
This was a WONDERFUL video! And such a beautiful song. I love Sia!
zero 7 used to be such a great band. COME BACK ZERO 7!!
loved her before everyone knew of her. She is amazing. Best female voice (besides Bjork) ever!

+Cher L umm replace Bjork with Kate Bush n' we'll be fine, Mkay. ;)
me encanta la cancion, me encanta el video, me encanta zero 7 !!!!!
Fantastic video concept. Great acting, incredible casting - simply fun to watch.

Saw Zero7 @paradiso Amsterdam in the 00s....blew the roof when they did this song at the end. ❤️

mysterious yet beautiful.
I love this video! This is my alltime favorite band! If I was deserted on a desert island and could have only one CD it would be Simple Things.
Wtf!? i never knew there was a music video for this. Nice
Zero 7 still the best! So many memories - 05/2018

Brilliance! The clip and the song are incredible!
This is a rare glimpse in the the quality of zero 7.

Zero7 rockzzz
A perfect song and video.
i'm obsessed with this song at the moment.. it's so haunting, yet completely beautiful!
Love this song. The video's great too. Zero 7. Sweet Music.
When they got rid of the possessions (distractions) they enjoy themselves again
I dig it too. Nice insight.
Fernanda S. G. Lopes seems communist propaganda but ok
@@LiterallyLegoBatman it's the inter-racial aspect that bugs you, right? Others have equated miscegenation with Communism, before you.
honestly the fact that it's a "mixed couple" kinda throws me. Was it meant to be part of the message in any way, or not? Not that either way is negative, but was mainstream entertainment still stubbornly pretending race didn't matter in the early 2000s?
@@squirlmy man what the fuck are you even mumbling about? Go back to sleep
😂The oven mitt always gets me .
hahaha! me too!
10 out of 10 video & song!!!
I love this song and the video is so fitting.

such beautiful music!!! I love it
Are you kidding? This is a fantastic video. I laughed so hard, and wept at the end. How many videos can do that?
When she attacks him with the oven mitts, I just died!
distractions and somersault the best of the zero 7 & sia era
I'd put "Destiny" and "In The Waiting Line" on the list too.
Destiny , you're my flame
ExistentiaDementia This Fine Social Scene é muito bom
Or home from Tina
I bet that was a lot of fun to make.
this song is perfect
Definitely an awesome video. Seems pretty accurate, too!
what a beautiful video is our lives.
Omg, the video is so funny. The madness of the human mind. 😂
This chick has one of the best singing voices i've ever heard.
My God, what an AWESOME song!!
I rarely like a song like this and the video... this is the rare exception!
Awesome music, awesome BAND... I love this music.
This song is so great...
The video is perfect...

these people always come up with good stuff!
i have to say, these people are really good actors
Such a great video.

Beautiful
If I was asked to name the most favorite songs of mine , this one would definetly be among them!
Her voice made me stop what I was doing and look. So sultry and soulful!
A sad story to watch..but I'm sure it happens all over the world.
I was happy to see the ending and I do love the song.
love this song ♥
great video for the great song!
Adoro! à decadas que nao ouvia isto....ja m tinha eskecido d como adoro esta musica.
am oozing in thrills UCK how come it took me so long to hear this Wow the clip?sort of happens at my place now and then;)
Thank you again ....
Thatøs exactly what came on my mind aswell, American Beauty :'D
This song is pure beauty and this video kicks ass! :D shame they didnt make videoes for all their songs
I love it..a very nice clip!
Amazing song, it will
Never stop making strong feelings..
I love this video. I love the song too but it can be a little sad.
I had no idea there was a video to this. I think the video is a little too light for what I consider an extremely serious, sullen, atmospheric song. This is also very much a night song to me. Great to chill to when the hours roll around to the AM.
