to add to Victors interpretation.. the couple on the Hill was a beautiful touch to add depth, they represent what we call ghosts, people who are not ready to leave and stay in limbo, there dance represents unfinished business. When they look at each other at the finale of there waltz, they are ready to move on. The group that made this are incredibly talented. Thankyou.
exactly I can't even listen to rap music anymore and nobody understands it's like I can't listen to stuff that had no real meaning or is gonna make me feel angry or upset like why life's way too short for that shit.
It's hard to express to a lot of people that this isn't really just what makes us feel, this is HOW we feel....like...idk the sounds explain the feelings I can't describe with words.
Major problem with this video, and that is, as of May 2, 2012, only 67k views since March 2011. This thing should be viewed (and liked) in the millions. And if UA-cam has the equivalent of Oscars, there should be one for direction, acting, writing, and cinematography. So amazing. At my desk, holding back tears.
Images and music work so well together here. So many possibilities for interpretation. I love the actors used - so expressive and intriguing all of them.
(To my understanding-interpretation this is what happens)Her boyfriend died recently and she is really depressed so she takes an overdose of some medication in order to commit suicide. When she is in her NDE (near death experience) his boyfriend is there at a distance but both of them are not allowed to come close. The men holding them down represent close relatives that care for them and will miss them. Once they free themselves they meet. When they get together there loved ones walk beside them sadly and depressed.They fail to realize they are leaving loved ones behind only thinking of the love they have for one another. When she notices all those she has forgot she comes back to life. Its sort of a anti-suicide video very deep and sad with a strong message.
I think it is a very honest and beautiful video in its way. Done by a London Acting Group. M83 should have adopted it as there official video and gave the money to them at least as a tax break. I do know the girl in the video went on to Canada and was in a Shakespeare Play of some repute.
I hope these filmmakers are doing well now. Zero budget is nearly impossible: you gotta feed people, get them to the location, find costumes, pay for makeup, rent equipment, you gotta buy a lot of ink to print releases and call sheets. I suspect this might have been shot in the UK?? In the US, you'd have to get permits, insurance. Zero budget means no one took a penny for this. A lot of people in front and behind the camera on this venture obviously believed in what you were doing, and they were right to. This video is gripping and worthy of awards at the best film festivals. There are a ton of filmmakers who have a US$ 50K budget and don't come anywhere close to anything like this.
wow quelle claque ! c'était magique....tellement d'émotions se dégagent de cette musique et le clip est....pfff j'en suis tout retourné Merci M83 vous êtes de vrais artistes !
This is a very well made music video. I discovered it last year when I was going through a pretty rough time. It's truly incredible. The performances are great too :)
It took me 9 or 10 years to realize this wasn't the official music video. I've conversed with suicide for many, many years and this video hits me every time I see it. It's beautiful. It's perfect. It's romantic. It's one of the more powerful videos I've ever seen.
No one saved me, I woke up on my floor a day later, recovering from the poison in my body. My sister called me because our mom had a nightmare that I killed myself, I told her everything was fine. I now have a wife and daughter. I recently went back to school, I made a friend. She's this little fragile thing, we hardly talk, we're both quiet by nature. She sits right next to me in every class, even when there open seats every where else. I catch her looking at me out of the corner of her eye as frequently as she catches me. I know it's because we share the same story.
Hello! Can you please contact me via email of in facebook? I want to know more about this story. What does it means? Is it fiction? How it's possible? I like this comment so much and want to learn more about what is happening in this story! Please!!!
great acting, great music!! :) I like the evocative black & white cinematography...and the powerful dramatic imagery of the couple dancing in formal attire...so visceral, symbolic, & resonating with meaning...in fact, it gives me shivers!!...In The Cold I'm Standing!...
I just love this. I am a filmmaker myself and besides corporate videos, I also film edit and produce music videos. The concept is brilliant here - the filming is beautifully done - love the panning and depth of field and the editing is very clean. I love watching it!
Beautiful song !!! Wonderful video (clip) !!! My soul is breaking to listening and seing that !!! "For the last dance together" ... oh my ... I can't hold my tears down ... Love from France (sorry for my bad English)
I came here for M83. What I found, however, was a video that was filled with so much raw emotion, It brought me to tears. I am humbled and amazed. Well done!
This is one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen. Considering you did it on no budget you should be really proud of this. Beyond fantastic!
This was.. so. Touching. I felt like nothing else existed while I was watching this. I feel like this should be the official music video. For a zero budget video, this was by far the best. I love it.
this is a genius work! so much emotion... this is very deep and complex! the music,the video,everything! i am so glad that i discovered this! this is the real ART!
This was stupendous. My goodness, I don't usually feel my heart ache for characters in a independently made music video as I did right now. Beautiful. I could probably watch this another 10 times and not get tired of it.
Oh my god this gave me chills, this is a great video! My eyes got teary by the end of it, i'm completely shocked i got this strong of a reaction from this film :o Well done!!
I got very attached to this video in 2013 and I’m so glad I found it again!
Same
Seen so many times. And I still cry
A cloud in the sky can make a person cry. A flower. A word. A song.
There's nothing wrong with feeling...
Hooks me every time, lost count how many times I've watched it. Reminds me of being young and the craziness and power of love.
"suicide never ends the pain, only passes it onto another loved one" .
I last saw this about 8 years ago and I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to hunt this video down again. Success!!
to add to Victors interpretation.. the couple on the Hill was a beautiful touch to add depth, they represent what we call ghosts, people who are not ready to leave and stay in limbo, there dance represents unfinished business.

I read somewhere it was a high school in South UK.
I always assumed French
People ask me why I listen to stuff like this and I say its what makes me actually feel..
+Coby McConkey same here
exactly I can't even listen to rap music anymore and nobody understands it's like I can't listen to stuff that had no real meaning or is gonna make me feel angry or upset like why life's way too short for that shit.
Couldn't have said it better myself. It brings so much emotion that I rarely feel anymore on my day to day life.
Good!!!
It's hard to express to a lot of people that this isn't really just what makes us feel, this is HOW we feel....like...idk the sounds explain the feelings I can't describe with words.
Thank you for all your comments on this video. Truly means a lot to hear your thought and interpretations.

The conveyance of pain in her eyes is amazing
This was an experience... I'm speechless... This video does M83 justice!
I watched it after i lost my best friend Aiko
I hope i find you at the other side buddy
I miss you so much😭😭😭
No offense, Anthony, but this should be the official video for the song. Love this video! I am glad I found it again.
That has GOT to be one of the most provocative videos I've ever seen. No stupid money-blowing tactics; just expressions! :D
this music and this clip just fit togheter so well
Music is so amazing... you can die a thousand times... conquer worlds, or fall in love at every chord.
I have no words. Just...powerful.
this video makes me wanna cry every time. so incredibly moving.
dokładnie
egzakly xD

I've been watching this for a few years. I didn't know it wasn't official until just now! It's absolutely excellent!!

If I need a good cry, I just watch/listen to this.
wow quelle claque ! c'était magique....tellement d'émotions se dégagent de cette musique et le clip est....pfff j'en suis tout retourné
Merci M83 vous êtes de vrais artistes !
that song just always gives me the chills in whatever context i listen to it!

Wow! What an amazing song and clip. I love any music that can really make me 'feel' and M83 are so good at it

Chris Munson thanks for sharing, Chris. I think I understand, my friend.
Thanks for your STORY Chris, hope you are in a better PLACE now. If not then you should take up creative writing...like LOVELY BONES
Am just crying where I am...........
Hello! Can you please contact me via email of in facebook? I want to know more about this story. What does it means? Is it fiction? How it's possible? I like this comment so much and want to learn more about what is happening in this story! Please!!!
There's a song that should be written about this story.....
I honestly thought this was a video made by M83. Well done.
I got goosebumps from watching this. The video and music go along perfectly with each other.
Wow staggering, M83 so impressive moves you on every level beautiful .
Namaste
Damn, this is so deep! Almost every M83 song is deep and sounds like from different world and different state of mind.
I wish i was staring at the sky with full of stars, smoking some purps and listening to this.
Mario Lamadrid I would indeed encourage that. soul bending
It's amazing how music can explain everything without saying anything to see
It make me cry...So amazing.
For one fleeting moment, they defeated death.
Wow. Just wow. Beautiful song and video. It makes me think about life and everything that surround it. Thanks.
Yeah, very melancholic.
Very moving I have to play it twice every time, reminds me of what I went through last year 2017.
Chills pure.
Strong emotions.
Ingenious.
great acting, great music!! :) I like the evocative black & white cinematography...and the powerful dramatic imagery of the couple dancing in formal attire...so visceral, symbolic, & resonating with meaning...in fact, it gives me shivers!!...In The Cold I'm Standing!...
this is mind blowing, So so beautiful and I don't even know why. Absolutely stunning
I love that girl's face. also, this video is intensely good.
All our sunsets will come one day.
Be ready
We were born from the stars, and to the stars we shall return.
I am in love with video and the whole idea of it, plus music fits it perfectly.
I just love this. I am a filmmaker myself and besides corporate videos, I also film edit and produce music videos. The concept is brilliant here - the filming is beautifully done - love the panning and depth of field and the editing is very clean. I love watching it!
Beautiful song !!! Wonderful video (clip) !!! My soul is breaking to listening and seing that !!! "For the last dance together" ... oh my ...
I can't hold my tears down ...
Love from France (sorry for my bad English)
watching M83's videos are so inspiring
Same❤️
The Amazing Nick This is fan made though btw
A very tarkovskian version of "Romeo and Juliet"... Thanks for the perfect mix film/music.
really, really powerful
The Future of Music. Thank God.
I don't know whaI can say. It's just amazing. I have tears in my eyes.
Piękny teledysk. Mam serce w gardle.
Phenomenal!
Bravo to M83 for making a video that tells a story. Like the original videos of yesteryear!
Very beautiful and sad video which describes exactly the meaning of this song!
it's like it fills up your heart with some kind of deep sadness, but gives you hope at the same time. incredible.
A lot of M83 videos tend to hit me hard emotionally across the entire spectrum. The mix of sounds and imagery touch's me deeply.Thank you
This was one of the most profoundly beautiful videos I've ever seen.
so beautiful.. thanks M83 i had to cry again.
I came here for M83. What I found, however, was a video that was filled with so much raw emotion, It brought me to tears. I am humbled and amazed. Well done!
Brilliant stuff! Heart-wrenching...
what a BEAUTY!!! THANK YOU M83!!!
Sencillamente espectacular.
This is one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen. Considering you did it on no budget you should be really proud of this. Beyond fantastic!

No matter what beauty lives on in our dreams, we have to keep on living, even without them and how they made us feel. But it doesn't stop us wishing.
this short film almost make cry... its amazing... great sound @M83
I believe I've watched this video at least 17 times now. It's perfect.
Very powerful. In love with band. 😏
Amazing Work, So moving thanks.
I thought this was the 'official' video and just realised it isn't. It's incredibly powerful. Really nice work.
WHAT A GREAT TRACK WITH SO MUCH FEELING !!!
That really is truly awesome. Thanks for the suggestion. Someone should put up that version here on UA-cam!
this is a genius work! so much emotion... this is very deep and complex! the music,the video,everything! i am so glad that i discovered this! this is the real ART!
I love ''Love-Story'' like that where they are separed but love is so powerful and etc...
Nice M83, you have the same thinking as me.
This was stupendous. My goodness, I don't usually feel my heart ache for characters in a independently made music video as I did right now. Beautiful. I could probably watch this another 10 times and not get tired of it.
Oh my god this gave me chills, this is a great video!
My eyes got teary by the end of it, i'm completely shocked i got this strong of a reaction from this film :o
Well done!!
what a powerful music video
This brought so many emotions out of me, fear, anger, sadness and happiness
its so simple, but the acting gives the music so much life. the story is how u imagine it. this is truly art
Brilliant piece of art, incredibly emotive and moving.
wow all the times I listened to that eerie song and never watched the video! wow!
Love the story and the photography !!
OMG!!! THIS WAS AMAZING!!!! I LOVED IT SOOOOOO MUCH!!!
That was absolutely beautiful.
Another great from this band. Amazing!
So powerful... When they run to eachother, oh my gawd! Tears
Awesome video! Brilliantly shot
The image at 3:09 reminds me of the Dance of Death from Bergman's The Seventh Seal.
omg i got chills running through my body... this is amazing.
Has to be one of my favorite fan made videos by far
Holy shit. Intense, beautiful, haunting, sad. ...and on Valentines Day (wipes away tears).
Great work i liked so much, well done.
Cheers from Brazil!
well done to the actors, the director and the focus puller!
stunning. big thanks to the producer
Even without words this makes me fly!!
SO emotional, I think I'm gonna cry. Awesome
Wow, this is so good. I cried.. Great job thank you for sharing.
I keep coming back here to watch this video.. its addicting.. i love the song too
