I dont get how songs and videos like this only get 200k views and modern day repetitive autotune pop gets millions - makes me sad sometimes. But glad to see there are people out there that appreciate music as good as this
That's hilarious, because I was just sitting here thinking "Why is this formulaic droning trash getting so many views when there's so much better music out there getting ignored."
Not only is it the best damned song, it's an incredibly powerful video. The meaning behind each scene is mind blowing. Look up their other Official Video of this song with the Eye. That's the world but I'm not sure what the symbolism of the shape means. Takes on a whole new meaning.

This song is oddly hopeful. The second verse hit me hard... "I had another dream, I had another life No one saw the blood on my hands When I woke, I was there alone Where will it end? After the twilight, always a sunrise But the blood of morning comes when small arms fire Ignore the deadline, there's no divine right Enter the gods and all the sacred signs At the end of your line" I started my life over again in 2020, and now....this song made me realize after the rebuild...I finally feel alive again. Thanks guys, your music means a lot.
I resonate with those lyrics so much ... I was recently dealing with a lot of emotional trauma in my life , it was mentally draining and just countless nights with nightmares and insomnia. And now I'm fighting it snd figuring out how to navigate through this thing called life

I have neighbor kids across the street from us that have a life like this. Their mom is always drunk and her boyfriend abuses the kids. They come over all the time to play with my son, and most days I let them. I don’t all the time because I work from home. It’s really sad. I’ll even give them food and such, they scarf it down.
A Evans yeah, I only do so much. I don’t mettle in their personal life - not yet anyway. I just let them hang out. I’m not in any position to play social services, but I’m willing to call if it ever comes down to it.
@@PCKA1987 I don’t live there anymore, I believe one of the children tho went to live with grandparents across the country, and I don’t know what happened with the other boy, but I hope they are alright as well.
I used to listen to this song so many times when I was preparing for UKMPPD (national exit exam for medical student in my country, Indonesia) and I passed!! Thank you so much Broken Bells, I love all of your songs
I'm 107, and this is the best song I have ever heard. It speaks to me 😊 Ps. Im 47. But age seems to have become a mark of wisdom. It is, but I think wisdom doesn't just come with age. Pps. This song still speaks to me.
Somehow even though the song is sad, the music video makes it so warm and comfortable. Is there a word for nostalgia for situations that during which you were miserable? Because this whole setup reminds me of bad parts of my childhood and yet this video gives me crazy nostalgia.
The face The face of evil is on the news tonight We see the darkness over light But have we really ever lived in better times? Hey, strange, they say we're coming to the end of the line But is there still a chance to change your mind? Or have all the colors turned to black and white? I had another dream, I had another life No one saw the blood on my hands When I woke, I was there alone Where will it end? After the twilight, always a sunrise But the blood of morning comes from small arms fire Ignore the deadline, there's no divine right Enter the gods and all the sacred signs At the end of your line Good luck My friend In time It ends In time Dead lamb My heart Your hands Good luck My friend Hand tied It ends Hand tied Dead lamb My heart Your hands
I'm so happy your guy's songs are getting more attention, you guys seriously deserve it. I've been here ever since your first album and there isn't a song of yours that hasn't changed my life for the better. ❤
This video was beautifully made and the message behind it superb! It's so hard to find music videos like these anymore. Thank you Broken Bells! Can't wait for more content!
I kept playing this song almost everyday since I've heard this in 2020. This is the first time I've seen its MV. Hmmmmm, I have no words other than thank you for your music. It helps me keep going. More songs please 🙂
I adore this song and love to squeeze every last bit of emotion I can out of it. It's my favorite out of your discography which is a hard choice with all the wonderful pieces composed over the years.
I have enjoyed this song thoroughly, especially through quarantine. I didn’t know I could like a song better until I saw this video. There’s a light in all of us. Also Broken Bells come to Austin!
It's just like a time machine this,it takes me back to when songs WERE songs and videos were too.i just wanted to say that because I am nearly fifty years old now and I hate most of the music being played today so this is a breath of fresh air for me.great work guys 😉
I just finished watching the Gabriel Fernandez case again, and I wish this song would have been popular back then. This song reminds me a lot of the poor children who never get out of situations beyond their control. Please continue to make music, this speaks for them, because they cannot speak for themselves. ❤
Congratulations on the nomination at Camerimage Festival !!!Stunning clip! Everything is absolutely great: shooting, cast, light ! Coloring - Level: Master

There's another video that has 6 million views that's why!
Luckily it had 51 million streams on spotify to make up for it lol. But you’re right, the video deserves more views
That's hilarious, because I was just sitting here thinking "Why is this formulaic droning trash getting so many views when there's so much better music out there getting ignored."
You know why

I'm 43 and this is one of the best God dam songs I have ever listened to in my life. Music lives.
My husband is 45 and I’m 43 and agreed. It’s a bad ass song. There music is just amazing!
Not only is it the best damned song, it's an incredibly powerful video. The meaning behind each scene is mind blowing.

Calm down oldies
More of this please. Ethereal, melancholic, elevated ... Such synergy.
Kris Mil I agree. Superb.
It is brilliant!
I had the same thoughts too. Ethereal and melancholic are the best words I can use to describe this. It’s beautiful.

Thats a sharp and hopeful observation that will make make my life better. I will spread it.
Thank you, and good luck.

I have to wonder a year later if this song is about Individuation and coming into Self as well :)
I'm in love with this thought.
Well spoken.
What a bunch of crap. Cliches and platitudes.
Deep. This too shall pass you are special and worth it NEVER GIVE UP PLEASE! ❤

Heartbreaking. So well done. It makes me so sad that there are so many kids who actually have to live like this.

me too man,
Wow, selamat
The visual representation of "You're too good for this world". Great song!
My God. I still dont understand why these guys aren't MASSIVE EVERYWHERE. There's honestly no-one like them. Soul stirring shit.
They have soooo many other projects... The Shins, Dangermouse
I'm 107, and this is the best song I have ever heard. It speaks to me 😊
Ps. Im 47. But age seems to have become a mark of wisdom. It is, but I think wisdom doesn't just come with age.
Pps. This song still speaks to me.
Incredibly beautiful song. Like my life would have been a different life without this band
I got my first tattoo and artist was listen to this song…felt so great and the completely represents this song…One the best moment in my life.
Somehow even though the song is sad, the music video makes it so warm and comfortable.

Masochism.
Does "wistful" work?

Trauma lol
@@zobairamini3615 you right
Broken bells is something different. Love from Türkiye 🇹🇷
This band has somewhere special in my heart
The face
The face of evil is on the news tonight
We see the darkness over light
But have we really ever lived in better times?
Hey, strange, they say we're coming to the end of the line
But is there still a chance to change your mind?
Or have all the colors turned to black and white?
I had another dream, I had another life
No one saw the blood on my hands
When I woke, I was there alone
Where will it end?
After the twilight, always a sunrise
But the blood of morning comes from small arms fire
Ignore the deadline, there's no divine right
Enter the gods and all the sacred signs
At the end of your line
Good luck
My friend
In time
It ends
In time
Dead lamb
My heart
Your hands
Good luck
My friend
Hand tied
It ends
Hand tied
Dead lamb
My heart
Your hands
Its great ❤
Dead lamb🤔

@euanewen5555 talking about Jesus can only be that he mentions enter your God and sacred signs... satanic for sure... meaning adversary!
I'm ready for this album to drop. Anyone else?
Absolutely. I discovered broken bells a few weeks after Shelter was released (now my all time favorite song), can’t wait to listen to LP3
had to tell you my daughters name is Wyatt-and no not after Earp. lol
oh and yes so ready for new album!
It’s been YEARS since a broken bells full length LP. I’m so ready!
Wait they're dropping another album?
I've been a Broken Bells fan since 2017
This is 2024, please release something 😢

I could listen to an endless loop of this song. The video too. Beautiful ❤️

Patiently waiting for the album and tour.
I may not be a fan from day one, I may not know all their songs, but I’m damn sure that I know that song is amazing and they deserve more attention.
