My friend Robert was head of music in Saint Dominics college, Belfast northern Ireland... Katie was one of his pupils..... her dad was a cardiologist here in the Royal Victoria hospital, Belfast.
Could we take a moment to appreciate how well written this song really is. The lyrics........... So charming and clever. How many songs have you heard in recent times that are so lyrically poetic? Most of what cracks America's top 100 is someone featuring someone, singing about someone elses ass........its appeals to the lowest faculties of a human being. This song though.....is about something sweet and beautiful.
Over 10 years for me.. I bought her autographed cd on the newburycomics website for $3.. figured what the hell.. best $3 I ever spent in terms of musical knowledge gained
My mother passed away last night, she had an agressive form of cancer. She also felt in a coma the night earlier, she always loved this song she told me. It was her favorite song, this now means so much to me..
I'm lucky enough to have her seen her live twice in Glasgow. Tiny on stage. She was wonderful of course but the last time she was accompanied by a women's choir (from Georgia I guess). Pretty much made me set to just watching her videos in future.
Every time I hear this song, I cry, I cry my dead wife and I tell her that even if she is deceased I will always love her. This is a beautiful song, thank you for making me dream.
My boyfriend suggested me this song. He is the sweetest little bean. I love him so much. I want to come back to this comment after 10 years and say how much I still love him.
I've been looking for this song for at least 10 years! I used to find it so calming when I was little. And back then I didn't understand any English so I couldn't memorize the lyrics, I only remembered the video... I heard it on a road trip in my friend's car today while half asleep and suddendly was like "YES! This is that song!" Lol
Another beautiful song by a verry verry beautiful Lady. I know as old as I am now I will never get to meet her only maybe in heaven. I know she will be busy there preforming some day. Oh that voice it has to be from an angel and coming from a beautiful lady, God bless you Katie.
I have seen this video hundred times, showing it to my friends, we love it, greetings from a fan from Norway (60 years), praying for love and happiness and peace for all people in the world
She is wonderful singer without computer wizardry being involved. Few pop idols could hold a candle to her talent. I've seen her twice live in Glasgow.
Lyrics: There are nine-million bicycles in Beijing. That's a fact, It's a thing we can't deny, Like the fact that I will love you 'til I die. We are twelve-billion light years from the edge. That's a guess, No one can ever say it's true, But I know that I will always be with you. I'm warmed by the fire of your love every day. So don't call me a liar, Just believe everything that I say... There are six-billion people in the world. More or less, And it makes me feel quite small, But you're the one I love the most of all. We're high on a wire with the world in our sight, And I'll never tire, Of the love that you give me every night. There are nine-million bicycles in Beijing. That's a fact, It's a thing we can't deny, Like that fact that I will love you 'til I die. And there are nine-million bicycles in Beijing, And I know that I will love you 'til I die. Enjoy it.
@@dacianbuzlea my mom used to play it when I was about 4 or 5 all the time, we used to play board games while we listened to it. Now that I come back to the music triggeres so many memories. I miss England, good times with mom 😌
Thank you to this beautiful song. This was actually my Nan's favourite song and was played at her funeral. It's a lovely song and she loved your voice especially Katie. Thank you.
Checking her Wikipedia page : "In 2006, she was the United Kingdom's best-selling female artist and Europe's highest selling European female artist. According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2008, Melua had a fortune of £18 million, making her the seventh richest British musician under thirty. Melua was the best-selling UK female artist of 2004 and 2005. In 2006, Melua had a tulip named after her. According to VH1, Call Off the Search is the 87th best-selling British album in history." So I don't think we can say she's underrated, she was just there before UA-cam was a thing and Adele came after (who's also talented) :)
My ex introduced this song to me. He was my one true love, and made me feel soulmates can exist - even though we're no longer together, this song has such beautiful memories packed for me. And they will always remain...till I die.
Never heard this song before... I am Peruvian living in Italy, I saw this video on tv and I loved the lyrics and the video is just insanely I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so happy I heard this! So crazy about it on 2021
What a great song performed by a talented and beautiful woman. I recently spent a day flying coast to coast and spent several hours in a crowded terminal. Very long day, but I put my headphones on and listened to this song. I could instantly feel the stress leave my body as I relaxed and actually felt calm and happy. Thank you Katie!
We are 13.7 billion light years from the edge of the observable universe, that's a good estimate, with well defined error bars, and with the available information I predict that I will always be with you.
Ryan we got a question in A2 physics unit 5 about this song,she said we are "12 billion light years away but that's a guess" and the question asked us to discuss "values for the age of universe are only guesses" lol glad I found this song tho
This song is nice and it is special to me because my grandad liked it before he passed away. We played it at his funeral. R.I.P. Grandad Eddie love and miss you more and more each day. Xxxxxxxxx
In my opinion, Katie Melua is one of the most beautiful ladies with one of the most beautiful voices in music 🥰. This song is one of my favorites ever. It sounds so warm and peaceful 😇. She sings with a lot of expression and you get the impression that she is singing the song just for you 😊.
Speaking of warm and peaceful , I also find Zooey Deschanel music having very same quality . Both Zooey and Katie are wonderful artists and a pleasure to listen .
I heard this song for the first time in the first Chinese restaurant I ever been at..This song and that place made it a magical experience for me as a child..
As a kid my dad taught me how to use chopsticks in a Salt Lake City Chinese restaurant. My work took me to Tianjin, China and indeed there are at least 9 million bicycles here!
I was 24, and I just played again and again and again this song on my discman. And now I am 40, and I show this song to my husband, and playing it again and again and again....
This is the first time I'm hearing this magnificent melodic & poetic masterpiece of song! Instantly in love with Katie's song.... I'm not a native English speaker but the tune and the lyrics probably tunes to my heart...
I love Katie’s voice! It’s one of the most unique and prettiest ones that I’ve ever heard. I love this video. I’m not sure who’s idea it was but it’s very creative, interesting and fun to watch.

There are many such songs, also written by Mike Batt..... check out his songs.. for example: ua-cam.com/video/ZNk84lfD-IA/v-deo.html
Great comment.... Most pop music in 2019 is absolute trash. Thankful we can still listen to artist like Katie.
Hi
.. a bit random but is anyone here able to help me please with translation of my lyrics into another language? I 🥰💖😊
Can't agree more
The song is absolutely incredible
I am a bicyclist and saw the title,"9 Million Bicycles,while on UA-cam,and thought,I'll listen.I found a great talent.
I’ve been listening to this song for at least three years
Over 10 years for me.. I bought her autographed cd on the newburycomics website for $3.. figured what the hell.. best $3 I ever spent in terms of musical knowledge gained
What’s your favorite kind of place to bike through?
@@loganroark3916 I love slick rock like what Moab has
Do you race? How many miles you petaled last year?

This song is so calmingly beautiful & the lyrics are just beyond wonderful.
best comment, i agree 100%
Ultimate lyrics. Lovely voice. Outstanding singing and music. What a song! This is how music ought to be.
one of the most beautiful songs ever performed. thank you Katie
That's the favourite song of my 5 months old daughter. She's smiling and laughing at that song and she's calming down. Thank you Katie Melua.
She's 4 and a half and beautiful I'm sure. Treasure every moment. My boy just turned 18.
@@marccas10 Every moment is precious. Passes so fast and you don't notice..
Still listening in 2020 beautiful feeling
It brings me back memories. My mom used to play this for us when I was like 6 probably.

VERY SPECIAL YES............RIGHT HERE!!!!!!
Thank you to this beautiful song. This was actually my Nan's favourite song and was played at her funeral. It's a lovely song and she loved your voice especially Katie. Thank you.
+Jeanne Lear Your Nan must have been a lovely lady.
My grandad had it at his funeral as he liked this song.
No. The most stupid thing is your spelling and use of prepositions.
Lol. Learn to spell and while you are at it get some manners. I can't believe how rude you are.
Van Tazz Can be applied to both. Equally as meanigfull and beautiful: loving someone.
It is hard to not keep watching and listening to her song a bunch of times . Thers some real magic going on here with Katie
Wow she's soooooo underrated. Her voice is pure class
yeah... and that fat ultrawhealthy Adele with not so big talent, has billions of wiews on Ytube... This is music industry.
Checking her Wikipedia page : "In 2006, she was the United Kingdom's best-selling female artist and Europe's highest selling European female artist. According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2008, Melua had a fortune of £18 million, making her the seventh richest British musician under thirty.

So I don't think we can say she's underrated, she was just there before UA-cam was a thing and Adele came after (who's also talented) :)
@@Bertheva Well said
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and recorded, and that little foot shake at the end is perfect!

Our wedding song.... and still glad we chose this number because it still describes our feelings for each other ❤️
How lucky you are! 👏🏻
Future classic. Thanks Ms Melua!
We are 13.7 billion light years from the edge of the observable universe,
that's a good estimate, with well defined error bars,
and with the available information I predict that I will always be with you.
This is the most Asian romancing I ever read.
You are wrong...New calculation suggests 12 billion light years.
I went searching in the comments purely for this correction
@@lgcookie1933 She was right... Newly discovered calculations say that Universe is around 12 billion years old.
Everyone here is wrong, we are over 40 billion light years from the edge. The universe can expand faster than the speed of light fools 😂
That's a lovely lovely voice and this song should get more than 9 Million Likes.
One of the best love songs ever written.
Touching my heart after all these years.
Coole Adresse!
Beautiful song and beautiful girl makes cry but in a good way.
16 years later and this song still causes goosebumps all over my body
Fantastic song Katie!
The most beautiful voice and song. Good music and talent never dies. Katie Melua forever!

In a recent live performance she said there are '7 billion people in the world'. I love that little change :D

Cool that makes the song timeless
and maybe by now down to only 7 million bicycles too, while car numbers and pollution on the increase.
