For all you wondering why they put the breaks of random silence in the song, it is to represent and show us that truly "words are all we have". Because as soon as they take them away, if even for a few seconds, we feel confused and like something is wrong.
For me I interpret this song like this: The book is her diary. As she walks through the streets, holding it in her hands she reminds what she wrote down, what she's been through. And because she wants to forget these bad memories, she buries them in a forest. Or that she wants to let go of her childhood by burying her diary. I don't know if thats the message of this music video, but thats how I interpret it.
Happy birthday to this beautiful song! I remember reading in an interview about how DIY was the making of this video, including Dan cooking for everyone on the set and being the driver. And now they just played two gigs at the O2. God, I bloody love this band! xx
Anyone else a “Twin Peaks” fan? 🌲 Notice all of the inspiration that came from the “Twin Peaks” storyline woven within almost every Bastille song and video. It’s absolutely brilliant.
***** yea but bastille once started as a solo project from dan smith and he's the songwriter so basically he's the one telling the stories which make them "his" songs
We went to see these guys in London earlier this year, the lead singer had us all sing happy birthday to his sister lol, great Gig, great memories, such a humble guy...
Oh I feel overjoyed When you listen to my words I see them sinking in Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin Words are all we have We'll be talking We'll be talking These words are all we have We'll be talking And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night You lean towards despair Any given opportunity you're there But what is there to gain? When you're always falling off the fence that way. Words are all we have We'll be talking We'll be talking These words are all we have We'll be talking And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh And I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night Ooh Oh I feel overjoyed When you listen to my words
My take on the video is that her life used to be really messed up, and she smoked and stuff, but things have since gotten better, but it still comes back to haunt her sometimes. It's all written down in that book, all the bad memories and stuff, and so she's burying them. Except then, of course, she'll have to dig them up, because the next song is Flaws
How long has it been and I still get goose bumps at that slightly discordant three-note harmony on "...tunity you're there..." and "...fence that way..."? Don't even start me on the chorus. My guys are all about the details.
Love Bastille, best band around at the moment. I can't see this song being as popular as Pompeii though unfortunately, which is a shame as it's a wicked song.
Ohh I feel overjoyed when you listen to my words. I see them sinking them, oh i seem them sinking in your skin. Words all we have, we'll be talking. We'll be talking. These words are all we have, we'll be talking. And i hear you calling in the dead of night, oh i hear you calling in the dead of night. You lean towards despair, any opportunity you're there, but what is there to gain. When you're falling off the fence that way. Love this song.
I feel this is a song about crippling depression and how people can try to resist it, but slowly the words and nightmares from it seep into your head and drive you deeper into the void of depression. This also goes along with the irony of the title "Overjoyed", since people with depression often try to conceal their symptoms behind a wall of fake joy.
Oh, I feel overjoyed When you listen to my woooords.... I see them sinking in...

As a recovering addict, Bastille has helped me with anxiety and my ignorance towards self love. I have lost multiple times at love and the deprivation has never been more severe. From family to lover, I have always ended up being needy. Showing my vulnerability on UA-cam makes no sense but that's what I felt listening to this song. Cheers if you read my entire comment. Pray for me🫶🏽
I listen to bastille music to get away from all of my feelings. I'm having trouble with friends at school but as soon as I put the ear buds in my ears all the worries and feeling I have wash away. it makes me feel empty inside sometimes which feel nice because you don't have to worry about anything until you take the earbuds out and your back into reality. Bastille is my place that I can be at peace.
misticanmaster The song is about Laura Palmer from a television show called Twin Peaks. Dan Smith wrote this song after he rewatched his favorite television series.
i just saw them live last night and this song spoke to me on a completely different level than it had ever before. live music is so special. i will never listen to this song the same way again.
Its amazing,that shit of 1d and justin bieber has millions of fans,and a incredible band like bastille only has less than half million,sorry for my bad english
hmm, i don´t understand why you´re mixing pop stars with indie artists. or at least, make it a bit reasonable - comparing bands with bands. i don´t know where have you been all those years, but pop stars are easily marketable in the mainstream, so that´s why they´re getting so much air play and therefore have more fans.
She wakes up in the middle of the night because of a dream/vision she had @0:03 - 0:10 in her sleep. @0:18 you see her book/diary which tells us that she was dreaming about it. She knows what she has to do and has been putting it off for several nights (maybe even years or months). She finally decides to stop making excuses and to just do what has to be done. It’s very late out and dark but she’s just so determined that she doesn’t seem to care. @0:43 we can see her new book/diary that she hasn’t even touched yet because she’s not ready and doesn’t want to write another word about the same dark thoughts and memories in her life. The new book has flower petals on it to represent peace (and a new beginning). The scenes of her with lipstick and smoking cigarettes is what she’s afraid of becoming when she grows up. And the vision she gets once again @1:38 is what she dreams/hopes she’ll become. The book she’s holding represents her life and her dark thoughts and she’s struggling to leave them behind (that’s why she walks so slow and takes a long time to get to the forest). By the time she gets to the forest it’s daytime. She slowly sits down to bury the book because she’s very afraid of what she’s about to do. She’s very afraid to start anew and bury all of her bad thoughts and memories and leave her entire old life behind. When she buries the book you can see that it has deep scratch marks on it @2:24 maybe symbolizing that she was abused or had a ruff life. Or maybe it means that her internal thoughts were severely dark and twisted and her own thoughts are killing her because of how sad and depressed she is. She finally buries the book and the second her long overdue task is completed, she feels a new life and is overflowing with power and spirit @2:35. You can see that she’s finally letting go (and facing) her old life/memories like the doll @2:52 which represents her childhood, her in her room at night @2:56 which represents her sleepless nights, and her smoking cigarettes @3:00 representing her fear of becoming worthless trash in life. All of her negative energy is released and she can finally rest. It ends with her by the lake looking up at the sky @3:25 (like her vision she had) showing that she’s looking forward (not planning on going back home) and ready to begin her brand new beautiful life. This is just how I took it. Sorry if I went too deep!!😅😅
I still get so surprised when I hear them on the radio - am so used to being the only person who knew about them. So happy for them, they deserved success years ago :)
Shoutout to this whole album for helping me drown out all my anxieties and helping me cope with stuff at 11 years old. For 5 years now, this album is my go to 👌
Saw them at the Cedar Park Center last night in Texas and this was one of the best songs that they performed all night!!!! AMAZING SHOW but this song live is great!
this band is just my absolute favorite! they make such good music in my opinion and every single song is sooo enjoyable! they are just awesome...i put them on the same level as coldplay! just awesome! and Dans voice and hair is soooo fucking sexy! i must now cause i'm a belieber :)
i like how when she buries the diary and opens her eyes they show paper shreds flying everywhere, as though burying the diary shredded the bad memories attached to it so she can move on past that part of her life
This video was very much inspired by the show 'Twin Peaks' (as was Bastille's song 'Laura Palmer'); it captures the atmosphere really well :) It's hard to explain without spoiling the series for you, but when you have seen it, the main character in this video reminds you very much of Laura Palmer. It might be my mind playing tricks on me, but to me the actress in this video at certain moments even looks like the actress playing Laura Palmer.
+bubblegum bitch It's because of copy right they block some countries it takes a while for youtube to take down the copyright claims or the person who uploaded this song has got the song on his/her side of copyright for unlimited/limited time.
Les poupées de plomb surplombent mon mur Je tombe le visage en hécatombes sur les coups durs Toutes les traces de mon sang se répandent sous mon armure La glace a pris possession de mes veines et mon reflet me susurre Que tous tes pas m'accompagnent sur les chemins de la forêt du temps Cet espace perdu où éperdu je cours pour ne pas mourir trop longtemps Simplement retrouver les espaces verts au fond de ce bois d'où jaillira toujours la clairière Cet endroit calme et magnifique qui détend l'atmosphère jusqu'à scier l'ultime barrière...
I do not understand even ONE video of Bastille! Their music is great, but I have to look 1000 times to the videos will I understand maybe a half of it ! Am I the only one?
The thing about Bastille's videos is that they don't represent the story of the song, they make up their own story. If you watch the videos in the right order, (the order they were released) they are all connected to one another, making up their own storyline :)
For all you wondering why they put the breaks of random silence in the song, it is to represent and show us that truly "words are all we have". Because as soon as they take them away, if even for a few seconds, we feel confused and like something is wrong.
You are indeed a genius
teslasrocketman and here i thought it was to encourage people to buy their single and not stream/download it
Then why take the music away? Makes no sense.
It's to prevent people from downloading it from UA-cam I think
Words can also confuse,.....
The indie-type sound, his voice, all the historical or poetic references, they just can't make a bad song can they?
Honestly this is the first good song I found from him. R u sure u dont just like the singers really bad sean penn wig
holy smoke
I don't agree with you but you made me laugh, thank you :D Sean Penn wig xD

It's arguably a reference to the character Laura Palmer from the show Twin Peaks. Read up on it and it'll make sense.
@@hshariq I thought so
Ohh ,what I think is that she wants to bury memories of a loved one
@@hshariq That's the song 'Laura Palmer", you dickhead.
Happy birthday to this beautiful song! I remember reading in an interview about how DIY was the making of this video, including Dan cooking for everyone on the set and being the driver. And now they just played two gigs at the O2. God, I bloody love this band! xx

yeah i just noticed
I love how all of his songs tell a story and a message.
***** yea but bastille once started as a solo project from dan smith and he's the songwriter so basically he's the one telling the stories which make them "his" songs
TerrorKekzy
but the music help the lyrics convey the message they want to transmit and complete the atmosphere. so in my opinion it's their songs ^.^
that's true haha

Well I think "his songs" is really okay because it's the truth
We went to see these guys in London earlier this year, the lead singer had us all sing happy birthday to his sister lol, great Gig, great memories, such a humble guy...
Who's still watching this on September 2019?
Old songs aren't never really old
How about watching it in January 2020?? Lol...love it so muchhhh
July 2020 and we're all truly live streaming the final days of Rome.
I agree as time passes they don't become old but gold
im in october...... 2021
not only does bastille have good songs, but their music videos are excellent.
You can say music is getting better as the years go on and Bastille just does that for you, i really respect them :)
I can't hear this without crying. It's literally a part of me. Whether I like it or not.
I don’t know why I can cry when watching there original versions and videos but not the Spotify version
I love how they showed the girl's goosebumps at 3:29.

will know what nostalgia is after 30
Oh I feel overjoyed
When you listen to my words
I see them sinking in
Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin
Words are all we have
We'll be talking
We'll be talking
These words are all we have

And I hear you calling in the dead of night
Oh I hear you calling in the dead of night
You lean towards despair

When you're always falling off the fence that way.

THIS is what got me into Bastille. I heard Pompeii on Conan and thought they were great but this song kills it.
i love this band man 😍😍😍😍

Honestly, considering how amazing they are, I feel like Bastille is really underappreciated.
Love Bastille, best band around at the moment. I can't see this song being as popular as Pompeii though unfortunately, which is a shame as it's a wicked song.

How in 2020? This song still one of my favorites
so relaxed great music guys xx
This song is a nostalgic piece of art, video and sound
"Oh, I feel overjoyed when you listen to my words". Only that, and you already came♥
I feel this is a song about crippling depression and how people can try to resist it, but slowly the words and nightmares from it seep into your head and drive you deeper into the void of depression. This also goes along with the irony of the title "Overjoyed", since people with depression often try to conceal their symptoms behind a wall of fake joy.
Just came back as a person with more sense since I last heard this song. I'm glad I could remember these good times.
7 years has gone by so fast...
This was the first song that got me into Bastille. God is great. I am so thankful for finding meaning in this band.
Oh, I feel overjoyed

Fantastic this band gave a lot of strength in hard times.

Perfect song... all BΔSTILLE songs are PERFECT ...
I really appreciate how the girls in Bastilles videos are either 1.not stick thin or 2. Completely natural, like no makeup or perfection.
Four years on, still loving it.
I saw them in HOUSTON last Friday. Amazing band!
Really amazing
My Opinion: The best song from Bastille by far! I love it so much!!!
I listen to bastille music to get away from all of my feelings.

Just got out of Bastille's concert in Tulsa. The best concert I have ever been too!
JESUS! Someone get her a jacket or something, it's FREEZING!!!
She'll be killed by Bob by the end of the night anyway.
I heard this song back in 2009 and couldn't find it- until like a year ago.
I love it.
What I like about this song:
The chorus's chords go FACE (Em but still) - it's awesome!
This song wasn't that popular for the others but me im still listening to it
I've been listening to Bastille for about 2-3 years and I finally got to see them in concert can't wait for their second album 🙄😈🕒🕡🕖🕢🕖🕢🕘🕥

Is it just me or she is kind of laura palmer in twin peaks? They also made a song about her, but this video reminds me a lot of twin peaks
Yeah they wanted to get a twin peaks feel for the video and were heavily inspired by David lynch :)
this was always my favourite song of theirs performed live, and after 10 years i finally got to hear it myself on 14/07/2023
Bastille 💜💜 Brasil
i found this song again after many years.. i feel so nostalgic and my heart feels heavy.
I get the whole "burying your journal" symbolism, but put some damn pants on.
Maybe is the story of a prostitute.
misticanmaster The song is about Laura Palmer from a television show called Twin Peaks. Dan Smith wrote this song after he rewatched his favorite television series.

Their music touches the soul unlike many of the songs that always uses "f*uck " and sings about the female body..
+Baby Gracemary Very True, Also Ed Sheeran is bae
+Dank_Bucket go fuck yourself
Callum_Clarke UK OH baby I DO ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!
But the world fuck doesnt always mean a song is bad....its about the meaning of the song or what its about
Yea... I mean, the singer must've real talents to be able to touch souls by singing about female body or cursing in a simple way by saying, "fuck!"
Try the speed at .5 and it just sounds so hauntingly beautiful and nostalgic
HOW DID I JUST FIND OUT ABOUT THIS?
Bastille are so amazing live, would strongly recommend seeing them live. Well worth it, even if you have to travel thousands of miles!

ethalinia yeah i thought at certain moments during the video she looked a lot like laura palmer
the house she's in even looks like the Laura's house from the show!
I have goosebumps all up and down my arms ....
I miss this phase when Dan was inspired by David Lynch
in tears... so beautiful
that moment when you feel like going for a walk in the woods without shoes...
ikr
I really like them because their songs have deep meanings and their videos always tell a story. xx
Why was the video unacessible for a few countries up until now?
+bubblegum bitch It's because of copy right they block some countries it takes a while for youtube to take down the copyright claims or the person who uploaded this song has got the song on his/her side of copyright for unlimited/limited time.
Thanks for explaining!
The triangle has become a symbol of awesome music - Bastille and Alt-J.
Les poupées de plomb surplombent mon mur
Je tombe le visage en hécatombes sur les coups durs
Toutes les traces de mon sang se répandent sous mon armure
La glace a pris possession de mes veines et mon reflet me susurre
Que tous tes pas m'accompagnent sur les chemins de la forêt du temps
Cet espace perdu où éperdu je cours pour ne pas mourir trop longtemps
Simplement retrouver les espaces verts au fond de ce bois d'où jaillira toujours la clairière
Cet endroit calme et magnifique qui détend l'atmosphère jusqu'à scier l'ultime barrière...
Oui, j'adore Bastille. Je suis americaine. Désolé, mes francais non bien(?).

A think it's "ma francais" (I'm German)
Anna Müller Oops, thank you.

Well I'm not sure, you'd better ask a French person I could have told you something wrong
I think you're right. Mes is plural and ma is feminine. Ich danke Ihnen. Sorry, I don't kow German. I just looked it up.
beautiful Song.. beautiful Melody. . my favorite bastille Song
I do not understand even ONE video of Bastille! Their music is great, but I have to look 1000 times to the videos will I understand maybe a half of it ! Am I the only one?
what if they're confusing on purpose just so that you will watch it over and over... :|
Alli Naisbitt yeah, I guess that makes sense !
Yeah, that is their way like they force people watch their videos for million times.
The thing about Bastille's videos is that they don't represent the story of the song, they make up their own story. If you watch the videos in the right order, (the order they were released) they are all connected to one another, making up their own storyline :)
okay thanks! I'm gonna watch all of the video's again now aha (:
Total quality can't go wrong with some bastille sometimes its just what you need to move you such well written songs.
I love this video ahhh
