Honestly, watching this after the Busted break up, there is a lot of hidden meaning with his unhappiness in this song. Even though it wasn't written that way or with that topic in mind (was written by his brother after all), it's definitely sung that way here.
charlie is one of the most gorgoues guys i've ever laid eyes on..*rest her head on her hand and daydreams* if i could just have him :)..back to reality...Busted was a good group for their genre of music, not usually the type i listen and that says a bit about them...Fightstar is actually my favorite band right now..they rlly need to tour in the US..busted did too lol..but i think this song is great and charlies singing is amazing...i swear i'd melt if i ever saw/heard him sing in person
I met him last week, and when I did, all I could think of was this song ahaha. I wish I can find this DVD in the stores or something. My fave song. Thanks for posting!
This was the moment you could tell by his aggressive/heavy rock performance that Charlie had made up his mind he was gonna leave the band. Listening to interviews with him also kinda confirms that this would have been more or less true.
Not to mention the rig he used here was the exact rig he used to produce the phased clean guitar tone on Lost Like Tears in Rain off Fightstar's first EP.
This song was actually written for fightstar, he was already wanting to leave and their manager forced him to put this song on the busted album which was the final nail in the coffin for him
at 3:37 you can just tell that Charlie wanted something heavier than Busted. That being Fightstar. I like both bands and I think Charlie did the right thing going to Fightstar
What about him jumping from one group to another last/this year? Fightstar, busted, Once apon a deadman. Thoughts on the new stuff? And the quick jump from one band to another?
If you want my opinion. Charlie really is showing how versatile of a musician he is, from writing his own solo indie work, to the Electronic music of One Upon A Dead Man, to the Pop Rock of Busted to the heavy adrenaline rock of Fightstar. Similar to how Corey Taylor fronts Slipknot & Stone Sour, it's really the approach Charlie has taken with Fighstar & Busted. For me I think re-joining Busted partly came down with the financial side a bit, not saying he sold out for money. But Fightstar just don't really provide the financial support for Simpson's family, let alone for several families, despite how good their music is. The other band members had to get additional jobs and put Fightstar as a passion project in order for them to continue touring and record more music as Fightstar, so Charlie rejoining Busted was his way of doing just that and support his family. But the main reason why I think he rejoined Busted was because how people looked down at Busted as just another commercial band who were selling an image and not music. Charlie's efforts as a hard rock frontman, solo musician weren't enough for him to escape the label of: "Charlie Simpson of Busted", where Busted weren't taken that serious. So he rejoined in order to make Busted a respected band and write music not better then before, but more mature and respectable. Hence why the new album will be much more different then the past 2 records. Because these aren't 3 teenage dudes talking about the Year 3000, their High School teacher crush, crashing a wedding etc. I love the new single and I really am interested to see how this new Busted record does. Again all this is just my thoughts and my perspective from what I understand to be the actions of Simpson. You're welcome to disagree with me if you think I'm wrong.
I adore charlie so much the mans a ledgend As much as i adored busted and still do I love fightstar aswell and if it wasnt for the busted split i wouldnt be into half the music i am today Id still be listening to pop and all mainstream stuff where as the split opened my mind to so much more.
I was there!!! I remember it, bt it was the concert at Newcastle! OMG he was sooo hot, I've got pics too bt I dnt no where I've put them! And Fight Star played at my uni! Bt I cudnt go cz I had to work! Cudnt even get out of it, soooo annoying!!!! :p
I love that song! Ich liebe dieses Lieder! Ma armastan seda laulu! This is so great song that's beacause i have to say it in three different languages.
this was my favourite band, fightstar are really good if you like that kind of music... there isnt many bands like busted anymore, they used to be high up in charts with ppl like mcfly, but now its other stuff, like RnB
this was written for charlies band Fightstar but it got surfaced by the band and due to licensing laws he had to put it in Busted's album.... The lyrics were changed slightly but doesnt have anything to do with the rest of the band.... except drums...
Ive been a fan of Fightstar from the start but grew up listening to bands like busted. Favourite busted song. Cant help noticing the correlation of the lyrics and charlies feelings towards busted and fightstar, "maybe a change would keep me high, stop me thinking wondering why..." The song is one of busteds rockier more upbeat songs. Its almost like this song is the missing link between the two bands. Hes maybe wondering what his motivation was to join busted. spose it helped him in the end.
Charlie is the best male singer in the world (in my opinion) even though I love Fightstar (and Busted too.. sigh) I think he should go solo.. his voice is too amazing
In a way I agree with your comment but I don't really think Busted was crap. Busted was just aiming for a public different that's all. But I prefer Fightstar to Busted but I just found out about them like 3month ago and I enjoy some of their songs. I think every kind of music is important .
this is the moment when i knew he was gonna quit busted...i was there...i thought busted were fun...they made some really great pop and brought back what it means to actually play an instrument to young people.i think he wrote this song about his love of another band (fightstar) and pretending to be something he is not.this is an amazing song.i think fightstar should make it their own...what dyu reckon people?
i think he's playing at least the choruses cuz at 1:10 you can see he's hitting his distortion pedal for the chorus and I think he isnt faking it, cuz you can hear the change at the exact moment in his tone
Hit the thumbs up button who still watch this live version👍
It's the only way ♡
This song used to make me ball so much as a teenager, still fancy him!
This has always been one of my favourite songs. I hope they play it on reunion tour.
1 of the best busted songs ever, shame it never got the chance to be released as a single as I have no doubts it would have went to number 1.
This account still exist? 😄

I think he wrote it with his brother
@@torridger The song was originally written by Will, lyrically, the rest was by Chaz.
But what's the meaning behind the lyrics tho? I'm curious
@@HEADASSLOOKINGAHHH you'd have to ask Will Simpson himself!
@@wowisowns source?
I was there at the concerts a month before they split, when Charlie sang this...
he didn't look happy...
Their best song,I think. It makes me cry =)
This. Is a f***in amazing performance! Powerful.
since the first time i heard them to this day im still so much in love with charlie's voice
my fav Busted songs are the one sung by Charlie. I just love his voice!
Fun fact- This was the 2nd time he played it that night. The first time he played it his guitar wasn't working properly.
memories
i love his voice so much!
His is voice is so unique in a good way
Please always keep this video up! I like to come back every now and then and reminisce
Charlie is awesome! whether in fightstar or busted, he'll always be that damn good :)
his voice is so amazing *__*
i still can't believe it

It's also great that during a meet & greet at download 2006, He wrote lyrics About how much he wanted out. I love and respect him so much.

@@loz1991 Where did you read that? Would like to see that.
@deanoplays9876 this was over a decade ago. It was an interview I didn't read it. Go watch their old fightstar interviews its there somewhere

charlie is amazin.
he has such a pure yummy voice on his own :)
his eyes are incredible
Charlie is the best male singer in the world (in my opinion)
even though I love Fightstar (and Busted too.. sigh)
I think he should go solo.. his voice is too amazing
I loved Busted they were my first live band, but this really proves, he was wasted in Busted.
charlie is sooooooooOoOoOo hot! i love him!! i wish busted would come back :(
well 70318363, on the punter cam on the dvd, they play this song twice coz in 1 version charlies guitar wasnt on,
my fav song!!!!!!!!!!!!! 100.000.000/5!
This is a lot better than the studio version of this one. This is such a good song that I never got the meaning off when I was like 8 lol.
amazing
He was so good! Can't believe busted had to split up:( wish they could have a reunion
Your english is actually better than most people on youtube.
I PRAY FOR THEM TO GET BACK TOGETHER.
@simagain they are all still really good friends, they have just found their separate ways...james has his new stuff and so does charlie.
In a way I agree with your comment but I don't really think Busted was crap. Busted was just aiming for a public different that's all. But I prefer Fightstar to Busted but I just found out about them like 3month ago and I enjoy some of their songs. I think every kind of music is important .

i think he's playing at least the choruses cuz at 1:10 you can see he's hitting his distortion pedal for the chorus and I think he isnt faking it, cuz you can hear the change at the exact moment in his tone
Lol thats so true- Ive never noticed it!
AWESOME I LOVE THIS SONG !!
i also love busted, miss you guys :(
i hope,hope,hope they get back together !! i
omg!!!!-i wanna cry
when i see them in may tHIS BETTER HAPPEN
