The video is perfect for the song. Nobody is on a mental illness pedestal. The guys hanging with their friends with no clear indication of the subject of the song is great! It shows that we should all be more conscious of the people close to us. Anyone of your friends could be that girl
@@seamusriordan3793 It seems to describe a girl that plans to drown herself... or something like that. The sea could be a metaphor.

I love that they didn't use an actual music video for this song. The fact that none of this was written on paper then given to them to act out makes the song itself all the more real. Because, this song is all about living - or dying - and what better way to represent this than life itself?
Who’s complaining?? The is exactly the perfect video. It’s spot on, like nostalgic home-made videos/pics you replay and rewatch and think about the future you wanted a the time
This music video makes me sad. Aleks, Ollie, Harriet and Ellen were all here. That's how I pictured the band to always be. In a way this hits close to me. I had a group of friends in high school and one of them who was closer to me showed me this band. This was back in '08/'09. We all went out on adventures together. All the way until mid college. Slowly, one by one someone stopped showing up eventually the group was no more. Growing up and apart sucks. Every time I listen to this band it makes me remember the good times.
I love how there's comments from 9 months ago saying "wilbur" then one's from a month back and a bunch from today, he must rlly like this song if he keeps mentioning it
@@seamusriordan3793 don't you dare speak bad on our man Garreth! Look at all the beauty and agony he's poured out over their discography. He could sound like Kermit the frog and these songs would still Bop
All of you who hate this video are missing the meta aspect of it. Ollie is about to be kicked out of the band and be replaced by Jason, and they're both in this. Aleks is about to leave, but Kim is here. Rob isn't a member yet, but he's here. And Ellen was director, but who can blame her for the shots of her being just incredibly beautiful? In any case, we're thinking about the future, and it's all in this video.
Though there were statements about the departure from both Ollie and Gareth, there was no specific reason given as to why he was asked to leave. Reading between the lines though, i think the rest of the band knew that Jason (who'd already been involved with the group for several years) was a significantly better drummer and they wanted him to take over on drums.
Well said Sam Handiwch. I think this video turned out to be more tragic and heartbreaking than they realised at the time, given all the above events that transpired afterwards. Quite painful nostalgia!
I first heard this song almost 6 years ago and immediately fell in love with it. To this very day, I'm still listening to it and it's still my favorite song. The title will probably be my first tattoo.
prolly my favorite LC! song + romance is boring and knee deep at atp, the lyrics are amazing, the instrumentals, the vocals, the meaning, everything abt it honestly
This has to be one of my favourite songs of all time. I can't stop listening to it. It's way too good, and it hits like breathing in water. I just, I love it. Some days when I struggle to feel like i'm actually a person, this song helps. Gareth has to be my favourite songwriter of all time. The title of this song, or something related to it will probably be my first professionally done tattoo. It hurts to listen to it, because it makes you feel like you know the person he's singing about. It feels nostalgic, in a way.
This song is my favourite song. It means so much to me and it’s gotten me through hard times for years. It’s getting me through my hard time right now.
I found this song when I was 12. I had just been raped for the first time. I was struggling with body image issues and drug problems. Now im 19, ive relapsed and im struggling to find a plug to pick up old habits. Life has lost its struggle as I try to recover but now it all just blends together into nothingless and I dont want to be here. Do you ever recover from these things? I've been raped maybe 5 times, assaulted a few more, im a mess in my own skin
I’m so sorry. I’m genuinely so sorry that you have been through these things. I’m thankful that you are still here and I’m just proud of you in general. I know it’s hard to keep pushing but please do! It may seem like there’s nothing left but find something, find a dream you want to accomplish and work towards that happiness. I know you don’t know me but I love you and i hope things get better for you🤍
Hands down, one of my all time favourite songs. Oddly beautiful. Its oddity is what makes it so amazing. A story that I may not fully understand, but i absolutely love.

i watched this video back in 2010, when I was the age of people in this video, and now I am older and so is everyone else and we're all going to die eventually.
i wish i had realized what the lyrics meant last year. i think it would have hit harder than it does now, because for me this song describes the pure terror that you can’t stop your own suicide perfectly and i love it
The chills I got when they played this at Koko, man. Everyone was jumping and screaming for the most of the concert but through this song everyone just sort of swayed and sang along perfectly.
I don't know how a band could stay together after writing such and emotional album, this video and song are sooo emotionally moving! This video is perfect for this song.
I can’t remember exactly when I came across this video. I think it was a little after I started high school. I’m drinking rn so pardon if I have typos or if my English doesn’t make sense . But this song is my number one vent song because when I was 14, right before I started high school my mother died June 26, 2017. The following years I started to further experiment with drugs including prescriptions! Idk. This song just fits me just like many others . But now. I’m a junior in college, I work, I’m trying my best, and that’s okay. Anyone out there struggling…you are so worthy of a happy life . Hope is real, it’s true that things can get better . But everyone’s journey is different.
i don’t remember exactly when i first found this song but as soon as i heard it for the first i fell in love and it’s still one of my favourite los campesinos songs
As former cringey teen myself, I can tell you: take it easy. Eventually the cringe fizzles out and you look back at memories from the period with a certain type of charm. I won't say that you'd be like "oh, I wanna go back to my teens. Best years of my life, etc." like some people make it out to be. I guess the takeaway is relax, let cringe be cringe and try to learn about, take care of, and love yourself. I hope you'll do fine. n_n I wish you the best.
you should check out to tundra, coda, and heart swells. there are some others that are sort of like this one, but these are the ones I think are most like it. hope this helps (:
02-09-2024 - Time capsule - Hello there, today is a normal lazy workday for me as a student. But aside from procrastinating 2 Papers I have to write. Its fine. How is it to you now? After some breaks stopping to hear this song its great to hear some los campesinos again.
Absolutely loving this return. The internet is massively lacking in guitar tabs for LC! songs. Has anyone worked this one out or anything off 'We are beautiful, we are doomed' ?
this song has always made me feel that way too. not quite sad, but not quite happy. it's like a sense of hope you feel but not one that is expected. or at least that's how i've always viewed it lol ;-;
I would like to point out that one of the lyrics from the newest album is "it's only hope that springs eternal" so clearly the songs are not all about hopelessness.
arf where have i heard that line perfect symmetry before? it rings bell so loud i cant remember. This is a wonderful progression I was just waiting for the rest of the instruments to come in and they delivered. Can't wait for the new album
For many years I have been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. This song hit so incredibly hard, I can't describe the way it makes me feel. It's like the worst and best feeling. Thank you so much for making this absolute masterpiece.
and we all know that girl who is everything but always on the verge of just being a bit too far away to hold, and even when you do get to just hang on you know you're not any where near close, she's just too tired to fight any more and girls like that drive us totally crazy but things wouldn't be the same without them.
I GRABBED HOLD OF HER WRIST MY HAND CLOSED FROM TIP TO TIP I SAID “YOU’RE TAKING THE DIET TOO FAR, YOU’VE GOT TO LET IT SLIP” BUT SHE’S NOT EATING AGAIN SHE’S NOT EATING AGAIN SHE’S NOT EATING AGAIN SHE’S NOT AGAIN I ASK HER TO SPEAK FRENCH AND THEN I NEED HER TO TRANSLATE I GET THE FEELING SHE MAKES THE MEANING WAY MORE SIGNIFICANT SHE WAS ALWAYS FAR TOO PRETTY FOR ME TO BELIEVE IN A SINGLE WORD SHE SAID BELIEVE A WORD SHE SAID AT FOURTEEN HER MOTHER DIED IN A ROUTINE OPERATION FROM AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO A GENERAL ANAESTHETIC SPENT THE REST OF HER TEENS EXPERIMENTING WITH PRESCRIPTIONS IN A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO KNOW MORE THAN THE DOCTORS
hey wilbur, i know you like this song so if you ever scroll through the comments and see this just wanted to say that i love you. i love you so much and you make my days better and i just want you to know that you deserve the world and if you feel sad or anxious it will get better !
people change as they grow older, the change in gareth's song writing displays this as he grows so does the subject of the lyrics he writes, no-one stays a peppy teenager forever
Honestly, the first time I heard this song, I started crying, it just sounds so sad, and every time I hear it, I keep getting the feeling that I need to cry (even though I've been listening to the song every day for nearly a week straight), and most times I do because it's just such a beautifully sad song. There needs to be more songs like this
this song is actually perfect, it has everything that makes a song good, catchy theme, well written lyrics, sung astoundingly, has deeper meaning, just wow. one of the best songs i've heard in a long time. been on a los campesinos binge recently but this and sweet dreams sweet cheeks really stuck with me.
i love how at the exact moment after they say "perfect symmetry" its halfway through the song.
2:23 of 4:46, you're great
I never noticed that before :o
i love this fact ao much
Yoo wait that's so cool
The video is perfect for the song. Nobody is on a mental illness pedestal. The guys hanging with their friends with no clear indication of the subject of the song is great! It shows that we should all be more conscious of the people close to us. Anyone of your friends could be that girl

I grabbed hold of her wrist and my hand closed from tip to tip
I said, you've taken the diet too far, you've got to let it slip
But she's not eating again, she's not eating again
She's not eating again, she's not eating again
I ask her to speak French and then I need her to translate
I get the feeling she makes the meaning more significant
She was always far too pretty for me
To believe in a single word she said, believe a word she said
At fourteen her mother died in a routine operation
From allergic reaction to a general anesthetic
Spent the rest of her teens experimenting with prescriptions
In a futile attempt to know more than the doctors
She said, one day to leave her
Sand up to her shoulders waiting for the tide
To drag her to the ocean, to another sea's shore
This thing hurts like hell but what did you expect
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
Best known left wrist right finger through all the southern states
On every video games machine they call her triple A
There were racists on the radio trying to give up smoking
The chat show host, he joked
You have to wait for the government program
You talk about your politics
And I wonder if you could be one of them
But you could never kiss a Tory boy
Without wanting to cut off your tongue again
A good place to look to the future is
When you are sat at the sea
With the salt up to your ankles
And a view of the end of the pier
You may look down at your model's feet
And wish that you'd just float away
And the weather here is overcast
And the sea is the same shade of gray
So the landscape before you looks just like the edge of the world
But to the left side and the right side
Either way is a crazy golf course
The sea is a good place to think of the future
And all you can hear is the sound of your own heart
And all you can feel is your lungs flood and the blood course
But oh I can see five hundred years dead set ahead of me
Five hundred behind, a thousand years in perfect symmetry
A thousand years no getting rid of me
A thousand years in perfect symmetry
Thanks

ahhhh hello :)
I saw this live 9 days ago and i will remember it for the rest of my life.
I only found this song due to someone saying the line “She never kiss a tory” from Wilbur Soot’s song Sex Sells came from this song
It did Wilbur stole it
@@LoreenFanGirl you do know that inspiration exists right? you sound like a 9 year old kid hating on a topic you have no fucking clue about.

I came here because of when Tommy told Wilbur whats the saddest song he know
Would you happen to know what steam this was on and possibly the time?
@@abby4684 hmmm i don't quite remember it was on a compilation channel I've watched
@@abby4684 It’s at 21:17 on this stream: ua-cam.com/video/5WF10KcBjIU/v-deo.html
@@lgbtqbcnr thank you
@@abby4684 it was on the speed run stream by tommy
A friend sent it to me 12y ago and i still listening
So amazing.
“This thing hurts like hell. Well what did you expect?” Oof.

When I'm driving back home at night, I always listen to this song, volume turned up loud, screaming my heart out as I sing the lyrics.
It feels good.
BUT WHAT DID TOU EXPECT BWAAA BWA BWAA BWAAAAAA
been listening to this song for four years now and it still hits just as hard as the first time i heard it
This is a fucking masterpiece, and has been since day one. Absolutely incredible.
02-09-2024 - Time capsule - Hello there, today is a normal lazy workday for me as a student. But aside from procrastinating 2 Papers I have to write. Its fine. How is it to you now?
After some breaks stopping to hear this song its great to hear some los campesinos again.
Remember buying this cd when it came out. Still dope to listen to all these years later.
this song wrecks me everytime i listen to it
Caraca, essa música faz 12 anos que foi lançada mas parece tão atual!
Oh my gosh! The sea is a good place to think of the future! I do it all the time!
still my vent song 5 years later. Thks you are the reason i didn't end it all 💜
this will never not be one of my favourite songs.
this maybe shouldn’t of been my favorite song at 17 years old, but 23 year old me today feels the same
Absolutely loving this return.
The internet is massively lacking in guitar tabs for LC! songs. Has anyone worked this one out or anything off 'We are beautiful, we are doomed' ?
"Whats up?"
"Oh not much just listening to music, sobbing my eyes out."
can't believe this video is almost 10 years old
The interesting thing about this song is I can actually relate to a few of the lyrics oddly enough
this song makes me feel an emotion that doesn’t exist
this song has always made me feel that way too. not quite sad, but not quite happy. it's like a sense of hope you feel but not one that is expected. or at least that's how i've always viewed it lol ;-;
This is one of those songs that makes you wanna jam out and cry at the same time.
I tried to do a photography project on the lyrics of this song, none of the images did it any justice though so I gave up.
I knew it was gonna be Los campesinos!. Wilbur soot has taste
I would like to point out that one of the lyrics from the newest album is "it's only hope that springs eternal" so clearly the songs are not all about hopelessness.
Wilbur.
Wilbur.

Wilbur.
Wilbur.
I am... 14 years late to this song. Oh my god.
arf where have i heard that line perfect symmetry before? it rings bell so loud i cant remember. This is a wonderful progression I was just waiting for the rest of the instruments to come in and they delivered. Can't wait for the new album
my favourite song in the world
For many years I have been struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. This song hit so incredibly hard, I can't describe the way it makes me feel. It's like the worst and best feeling. Thank you so much for making this absolute masterpiece.
listening to this song at 2:24 AM
this isnt a good idea
this song is a significant pinpoint to my teenage years
This is the best song I've ever heard...its a shame that I didn't find it sooner
She was always far to pretty for me to believe in a single word she said !
My parents told me I will grow it up but here I am 5 years later and it still the same shit as always.
Man this song is fucking awesome
and we all know that girl who is everything but always on the verge of just being a bit too far away to hold, and even when you do get to just hang on you know you're not any where near close, she's just too tired to fight any more and girls like that drive us totally crazy but things wouldn't be the same without them.
I GRABBED HOLD OF HER WRIST
MY HAND CLOSED FROM TIP TO TIP
I SAID “YOU’RE TAKING THE DIET TOO FAR, YOU’VE GOT TO LET IT SLIP”
BUT SHE’S NOT EATING AGAIN
SHE’S NOT EATING AGAIN
SHE’S NOT EATING AGAIN
SHE’S NOT AGAIN
I ASK HER TO SPEAK FRENCH AND THEN I NEED HER TO TRANSLATE
I GET THE FEELING SHE MAKES THE MEANING WAY MORE SIGNIFICANT
SHE WAS ALWAYS FAR TOO PRETTY FOR ME TO BELIEVE IN A SINGLE WORD SHE SAID
BELIEVE A WORD SHE SAID
AT FOURTEEN
HER MOTHER DIED IN A ROUTINE OPERATION
FROM AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO A GENERAL ANAESTHETIC
SPENT THE REST OF HER TEENS EXPERIMENTING WITH PRESCRIPTIONS
IN A FUTILE ATTEMPT TO KNOW MORE THAN THE DOCTORS
hey wilbur, i know you like this song so if you ever scroll through the comments and see this just wanted to say that i love you. i love you so much and you make my days better and i just want you to know that you deserve the world and if you feel sad or anxious it will get better !
you are a bit weird
@@SnickerBar4937 ok
Shut up

@@LoreenFanGirl no?
people change as they grow older, the change in gareth's song writing displays this as he grows so does the subject of the lyrics he writes, no-one stays a peppy teenager forever
rediscovering bands/songs is the best thing ever.i love it.love this song soo much.i forgot how amazing it is!
reminds me a lot of modest mouse
same, Good News For Bad News was the first album I bought. I was 14
It's my favorite band so good enough
Better late than never..
Honestly, the first time I heard this song, I started crying, it just sounds so sad, and every time I hear it, I keep getting the feeling that I need to cry (even though I've been listening to the song every day for nearly a week straight), and most times I do because it's just such a beautifully sad song.
There needs to be more songs like this
i think i love this song more every time i listen to it
this song is actually perfect, it has everything that makes a song good, catchy theme, well written lyrics, sung astoundingly, has deeper meaning, just wow. one of the best songs i've heard in a long time. been on a los campesinos binge recently but this and sweet dreams sweet cheeks really stuck with me.
no way this was filmed at fucking Barry island
