Lyrics:
Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for something
Guess I'd better sell you now
Guess I'd be around
Singing for your questions
But you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
and thats not all the colour
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!
Definitely one of my favourite Kasabian songs. It's so powerful. And Tom's acting is really good.
Man I used to love Kasabian when I was young, pretty much around the time you made this comment. Recently I was listening to all the songs I used to like back in the day and I wasn't enjoying them like I used to, including most Kasabian stuff.
But this one song still feels as good as ever
One of their best music videos ever. Looks & feels just like a movie. Love it.
Plus Tom looks hot as hell!!
+Helen Christie Hard to believe this is 10 years ago!
Me The One and Only r
Helen Christie I'm hot as hell ;)
Totally agree great vid
This has to be one of the best music vids ever
Yes
It hurts me how underrated this song is
I don't see how this is underrated, it's probably their biggest track!
This is so incredibly underated it's criminal - remember replaying this endlessly back in '06 on my MP3 player at school, those were the days. Incredible track, band and oh god incredible video here.
I thought i was the only one lol everyone in school was either rap or rave which i didn't mind but these bands are my own if you no what i mean
I'm sure that everything that ever happened is underrated
One of the best music videos of the last decade.
+Mad Mark C shit its very rare that I read a youtube comment I agree with so much. you speak the truth mad mark.
+Charlie Butterbean Cheers man!
Ever
The Crimean War (1853 - 1856) was a conflict between the Russian Empire and an alliance of the French Empire, the British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Sardinia. The war was part of a long-running contest between the major European powers for influence over territories of the declining Ottoman Empire.
It is considered to be the first "modern" wars as it "introduced technical changes which affected the future course of warfare," the first tactical use of railways and telegraph.
It was also notoriousbfor logistical failuress and incompetence on all sides, with the tremendous and pointless loss of life causing huge public discontent in the participanting nations.
@@borisselbstadler3209 thanks for the info I had no idea. Always Lv a bit more knowledge. Random question dya know why the guy has a red / green board and the point of it ?? 🤔
@@slyestfox935 probably signalling, most people were illiterate at that time so semaphores were usually used to convey orders and directions which really limited the complexity of plans that could be executed well in the field
@@borisselbstadler3209 really interesting thanks loads for the reply 😁
It's all happening again.
They came on the scene at a time when we we had high hopes in modern music.What happened? Greatly underrated!!
They were massively successful.
This masterpiece should be on 4K by now...
Brilliant band, brilliant song, brilliant video. What more can you ask ?
Sprout Magoo a million dollars
a boyfriend
u r right
Not to be ded
An autograph maybe or a 🎸 or some food stamps
Changing tempos and classical strings in rock....you don't hear that much anymore...thank you Kasabian
I will never understand why a song such as this will never get nearly as much publicity as a song such as 'I Don't Fuck With You'
+Tom Barker Because low culture always attracts the masses like moths around the flame ;-)
+King Without A Crown I guess so 😒
+Tom Barker has It literally nothing to do with any what was said. purely things like radio play more exposer. not to mention fan base the fan base for that shitty low voiced babble rap is much larger. Rock and its sub genres are a dying thing. Simple as that.
Mainly because people listen to what everyone else listens to. Hence why with rap i listen to the good underground artists.
I like both, loosen up
The director of Kasabian's music video should seriously win an award! Kasabian's clips are the best! I love their music too of course ;)
It’s a pastiche of Tony Richardson’s sixties film
Wow, miracle that Tom survived being shot to sing more songs for us. Great move, soldier!
Why are these guys so underrated. Like come on. They're great.
Random Username true but I never hear them on the radio, nor if I ask somebody, have they heard about them.
The Guitarist its similar for alot of good british bands
In England, they're massive, one of the biggest bands in the UK, outside of the UK they're kinda small, so on an international scale they are kinda underrated
PsychoStevie I'm from India. I love Kasabian. I think they're awesome
They're not underrated here in the UK. They're acknowledged as one of the best bands and certainly one of the best LIVE acts we've had over here for years.
Who is the guy that came up with the idea of that shooting scene at the end! My god, brilliant!
Believe it or not the whole video is based on a true story.
I meant putting up the gun scene, that part was magnificent!
What story is it ?
kiki mc
The story comes from the Prussian war, basically the runner was sent to tell the troops that they had to surrender and come back from the front line as the position was unattainable, but the enemy was sensing an easy victory so they decided to shoot the messenger at the time it was considered a big no no and ungentlemanly to shoot an officer, medic or an officer. The troops were angry that generals had lost faith in them and now the other army was disrespecting them too so they decided to fight, and fight they did, but they were executed as they were insubordinate. War is crazy.
stephen Rowan I Believe you are wrong my good sir, this is based of the Crimean War it is about the Charge of the Light Brigade where a whole British light hussars where gun down by Russian cannons and kasabian are ment to be survivors from the 11th Hussar heading back to the friendly lines but instead are killed by there own officers for retreating, the song itself is on about the generals keep making the same stupid decisions that keep getting more men killed.
The most badass music video over- the guitar and vocals tie into the music video sooo well
THAT CHORUS THOUGH!!!!!!! Forgot how much I used to love thisss!!!
Очень актуально в 2022 )
Это точно
This video is criminally underrated - one of the best Tom is phenomenal in it really reminds me of Ewan McGregor - really brilliantly directed video and Tom should have had a go at movies!
10 million views
The base of every great Kasabian song is a fantastic riff. Oh man does this bring them in bucket loads!!
Just finished a book about the Crimean war and it got me thinking of this video, I'm probably 50 years out or so but such a good video and song.
David Murph
This is probably indeed based on the Crimean War. The uniforms are artillery uniforms used by the British at the time, although also for, yes, about 50 years either side - but notice at 2:51 the cannon with cyrillic script, and at the end the pistol which must be from the 1850's or later.
btw, if you transcript it letter by letter on keyboard, you'll get "the glorious dead"
it's about the charge of the light brigade, it's on Wikipedia
@@jamestaylor1445 the charge of the Light Brigade about a cavalrys last charge, there was no cavalry in the video.
probably their most epic song. and video.
Amazing. Highly underrated band.
Strongly agree with you lisa.
This is such a banger and always will be ...
Kasabian makes the best friggin music videos.
best kasabian song to date want more like this
I loved this song when I was young and it came out, it's not until just now I remembered it and I'm blown away by the lyrics/video.. Tell me that you've seen a ghost, I'll tell you what to fear the most. Aged like fine wine as they say lol
An absolute LOCKET. The violins are boom. FULL VOL. LET'S GOOOOOO
2:50
еру пдщкшщгы - just a bunch of cyrillic letters on the cannon. but if you type this letters on a russian keyboard using english launguage u'll get 'the glorious'. still don't know what it does it mean though, just a remark
must be the glorious death or devil or something starting with de-, mate :)
I am Russian, for me it is just a set of letters, as for you "dfjlgdyiohx"
Just a little remark for y’all guys: it is written “еру пдщкшщгы бу”, so if you’ll write it using English keyboard you’ll get “the glorious me”! Such a nice Easter egg I must say :)
@@aljonakerouac6943 wow, cleverly
@@aljonakerouac6943 Pretty sure part of the last word is covered by the wheel
8 years & I still love this song & video
School memories from '06.. Classic.
A rock peace countermarch in the Crimean War, great song and video
When I was younger I was shocked and highly scared whenever this video was broadcast, and my mother also told me how frightening it was. However the music held in this videoclip is something incredible, magically triggered and adorned by guitars. It sends you back to the '80s or the '70s because the originality shown cuddles the need of the strictest listeners, of those who still rely on the outstanding rock power and those who keep highlighting the greatest founders in the alternative scene. Kasabian are decently known and commented, they demonstrated that a few bands still want to be creative, groundbreaking and addictive to the crowd. Don't miss their charm!
+fretui medak yep, the style is glam rock, its awesome :D
+fretui medak kasabian aren't a band from the 80s... and if this scared you as a child then you must've lived a very sheltered childhood, i hope you grow up with a bit more courage. god bless
+Leighdown Anrot I'm thinking how old was he? When he was younger????
too long did not read
what was so scary its looks so cool
I always come back to this song it's that good
One of a few bands that have proper tunes . Every album went straight to no 1 but never had a no1 single
Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Come on to the back
I said your needles count for something
Guess I'd better sell you now
Guess I'd be around
Singing for your questions
But you've stolen all of my answers
Too much entertainment drove
And that's not all the color
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
[Chorus]
Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!
[Verse 2]
Too much information
Well I said you're good for nothing
Stitch your part of counterfeit
I said you're far out here
Taking at the roads
Where you're taken for the simple codes
Swimming with the fishes
While the serpent waves his tongue
With a belly full of splinters
Now you see that I'm the one
Tell me that you've seen a ghost
I'll tell you what to fear the most
[Chorus]
Stop!
I said it's happening again!
We're all wasting away!
We're all wasting away!
What an absolute banger of a track, being in the crowd when the boys play Empire is something special!!! ♥️
I love how this song turns into a rallying cried beat, really gets me going, always has, love this song!
Wow this video gave me the chills. Great cinematography, great music, great lyrics. This is why i love Kasabian
Love this song as it's about the british empire so historical.
Еру пдшкшщгы всем! 2:52
I laughed at it so hard
What it mean?
DRUMMING x LIAM eru pdshkshschgi, that's what it means
+DRUMMING x LIAM On an English keyboard, the keys to make those letters would spell out "The glorious death", that being the sarcastic message of the song, that it's not "glorious".
I remember when I found this song a couple years ago people were bitching in the comments saying that they're stupid for thinking changing the letters like that translates into another language, and it's like, no shit they know that's not how languages work.
Thanks
Surprised UA-cam hasn't banned this video for the truths this music video brings too society!
Závěr jako ze života. Muzika mi sedla :)
I listened to Kasabian whilst i was doing my hw the next day a got an A+ thanks Kasabian
This track has aged like a fine wine.
well that's another amazing song made by the best British band ever!!!!!!!!
Love the Crimean War era uniforms! Great song. It was the reason why I bought this album when it was released. A shame thought... the other tracks did keep up.
Oh, hey. You made me cry in under a minute. Congratulations.
Nearly spontaneously Combusted when they played this at the royal albert hall on friday night! WHAT A GIG!!!!!!
If that thumbnail is you, you are super sexy!!!
love them, what a great single band, this video is pure gold and tom is a freat actor
GREAT VIDEO! AMAZING SONG ! LONG LIVE KASABIAN!!
Like I said, reminds me of the Sharpe series. Beautiful song. Now I'll have this stuck in my head as I go for a walk :)
@@fionaward8540 It reminds me of Glory (1989), but of course Sharpe and Cold Mountain too! Napoleonic wars, the Crimean war, the Civil War... The Age of Artillery!
@@fionaward8540 wow, that sounds like a great job, thanks for sharing. For my part, I learned some military history at school, perhaps that's why this video fascinates me. I wish there were more bands like Kasabian! 🙏
I was 10 when this came out. I'd loved them since 2004. I was 8 years old.. But this made me fancy tom so, so much! I watched it around 20 times a day because i liked him so much!
I still do! I got to saw them finally in June. It was amazing! :)
Love this tune! More each time I hear it!
Massive thumbs up! They've been my fave band since their first song! Legendary band. Love them. These videos haven't been on UA-cam for ages, thank you for bringing them back!!! My life is complete. Tom
I agree with you in every aspect of what you have said. This is a topic that I could talk about for hours. One quote regarding this issue stands out to me, it's from a movie: "we're on the brink of destruction, but it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve." It's not exactly related, but it's aplicable. It's going to take a precipice-- something larger than life --to get us to change.
I love this song both on the album and the music video but the explosions make it 10x better
Absolutely love this
fire
Love this one the most
Ah Kasabian! Of course, Kasabian Kasabian Kasabian
Can't get enough of this song.
Great song I love the chorus and the style and the production of this track!
All of Kasabian's songs are awesome! How come they are not as famous as The Beatles?
Love kasabian ♡♡♡
Great song and great video. This band has guts.
THEY SHOT THE RUNNER!!!!
finally i found it i have been search for this song for a long long time
What an incredible video; so well made and produced. The part where a posh toff blows a dandelion and common soldiers are scattered with its spores is a very elegant metaphor for war.
Plus Tom and Serge look hot.
Love the bass line on this one.
Just love u kasabian
This song is perfection 🙌
11 years ago?
FML man
Still sounds fresh, but I still feel old!
hahahahahahaha! Fuck it! crank it up then!
Great song!
This has to be the best thing ever. Great song, great video!
Does anyone else remember this video being shown on channel 4 as a premier ?! 🤔
Очень актуально уже как год...
I remember watching them perform this at the first BBC Electric Proms and how fantastic it was
great song, great band
One of the greatest music video ever made!
true definition of EPIC
Love this song
Just wonderful!
Makes me think of the Sharpe series
2023 anyone?
Anyyou?
Why had I not heard of this band!!! Instant new playlist.
Great memories back in 07 highschool jamming to this track!
A true fan will say they like them and be proud
And yet it continues. If we are paying attention, we'll see "It's happening again". Beware of the Empire mentality. There's much more to this song and video that we're admitting.
@Lara Chinese conspiracy
Yeah.. Look up the Movie Social Dilemma on Netflix. Promise you,, it's great stuff
Me nam jev shush
Class tune
Sick video
Amazing Band
Kasabian died, what a shame! The best band that isn't from the 70's!! RESPECT!!!
EVERYONE CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND LISTEN TO THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
The song sounds happy but the video looks like sad!
Tonight!! Yussssss
now thats a tune!
Актуально в 2022
This song, Shoot the runner and Running battle have to be a few of my favourite Kasabian songs of course they're all good though 😊
I guess you just like the word run
+Matthew Kendall I guess so
Love it
Awesome!
