What a brave man to expose his pain so publicly. A lot of men, myself included, have gone through the situation he's singing about and this song gives me strength when I listen to it.
I absolutely love this song. It hits home all too much. I was in my 20's when i went through the same situation. So better off without that person as I'm sure you are too. Xx Thank you for sharing your story with us. 💖 Our aussie artists are on 🔥 this year.
Never has a song hit me so hard. My husband of ten years cheated on me this year and this song sums it up. Never thought a song like this would apply to me. I'd rather be beaten physically like in this video than feel the unbearable pain of betrayal my heart feels. Spent 4 weeks in psychiatric care and still taking a day at a time. We aren't made to be betrayed like this 😭😭 thankyou for this song 💜 and sorry for your pain xo
Couldn't imagine the hurt if my wife done that, vows made should equal vows kept. I wish you nothing but strength, may you find another light that shines brighter. My wife is also Gemma (17 years together) 2 kids and a love like no other.
Felt this song hard after hearing it. Packed up my Aussie life and moved to Europe in '15 to be with my wife. We didn't have any kids fortunately, but yeah, as I was grieving the loss of my Mum back home to cancer with next to no emotional support from her, she was cheating on me with someone she was studying with, as we'd live apart for 4 weeks every 3-4 months during her school practical module blocks in a different part of the country in a two year period, for her studies/career. Good lord indeed! Definitely felt your pain Kenny & thanks so much for writing the song. It was much needed for those of us guys who've been cheated on.
I was cheated on recently, and when I heard this on the radio for the first time, it broke my heart. I had to pull over and get out of my car and have a walk, have a cry and reminisce. Thank you for this song, it touched my soul on a deep level, and a song hasn't done that for years.
Just walked my dogs through Victory Park Ballarat late this afternoon while I could hear this song and Lanterns as clear as crystal while you played on stage! It was so beautiful walking through tall pine trees with surprisingly nobody in sight like being in a cathedral I missed the concert but needed some magic "thankyou and bless! 🙏
Man this song goes deep. Right as I split up with my partner... any blokes out there that need a hand in life REACH OUT TO YOUR MATES. We all gotta stand together
I got to meet Kenny last night. Birds played at my work. I had such a fangirl moment. He's such a humble person. I told him how much I love Birds and Karnivool and he just gave me a hug. I fucking cried man, so fucking cool.
I haven't been cheated on - much like what this song is about - but I have had my crush been taken away from me, it was very hard to cope with, for the next few days I was really sad, crying to myself trying to get over it. Then I heard this song and realized that these kinds of things aren't just happening to me. Now that I have heard this song, it has helped me. Thank you Birds Of Tokyo for helping me through troubling times.
My daughter and I met the guys from birds of Tokyo one evening in Adelaide. They had been a support band. They were so nice to my daughter took selfies with her and chatted to us for 10 mins or so.
I haven’t heard birds of Tokyo in years but they were always one of my favourite bands. I was cheated on by my husband at the end of 2016 and this song hits me right in the feels. Cheaters suck.
Agreed! Can't believe this song only has 200k ! Like "Somebody that I used to know" ( An Aussie song) is incredibly popular but this song should have all those views. Ok I will leave....
@@saffi297 Unfortunately, Birds of Tokyo do not have a big following on RUclips ? I did check out there other songs here on YouYube but similar number of views ??
Excuse me matt if you're calling Australian bands shit then why are you here don't tell people what to listen too. ol mate can listen to anything he wants
Dude wtf this is a terrible song. And I LOVE Karnivool, but this is just disappointing from Ian, and from someone who leaded Karnivool. Really bad music.
Hi! Allymoon. I was surprised by the letters of Tokyo. Because I'm sending a message from Tokyo🗼. I looked up the meaning of this band name. There is also news that many birds are coming back in Tokyo now, and it is increasing too much😉. Their wish became a reality. If you have a chance to meet them, please tell them "thank you." Allymoon-music is the best. Thank you💕
Congrats on becoming a finalist in ISC! I saw you were a finalist too so I wanted to check you out 😁 Your visuals were very moving... internal wounds are very real pain too.. Please keep making music. You are INCREDIBLE!
When, I heard this song for the first time, the world stopped moving for them few minutes. Divorce, has brought me to my knee's. Now, there is a song that express's exactly the way I feel. Amazing
Never upset a musician. You'll end up being one of their songs FOREVER.
That's precisely what August Strindberg said: "I'll see you in my next novel."
Fact.
He and his wife got back together lol and I’m pretty sure they wrote another song about it, too.
Sarah Reda wait seriously? Since when?
Jackson Tsukahara yep. They did an interview with him on some radio station
What a brave man to expose his pain so publicly. A lot of men, myself included, have gone through the situation he's singing about and this song gives me strength when I listen to it.
🙂🙏🇦🇺
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ don't worry
Why is this song so underrated?
Deserves a lot more views....

I feel your pain hun! Much love for you 💖
So true xo❤️🙏
WHAT A BRAVE MAN SHARING THIS
With under 30 million people there is so much talent. Aussie music is up there with the best.
The emotion is his voice is so heartbreaking. They definitely deserve more recognition...

Gemma Broadbent this happened to me last year. It’s f*cked. Every time I hear this song I get goosebumps. Lots of strength to you x
@@kryssybee back at you xoxo
Couldn't imagine the hurt if my wife done that, vows made should equal vows kept. I wish you nothing but strength, may you find another light that shines brighter. My wife is also Gemma (17 years together) 2 kids and a love like no other.
@@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage thankyou Gerard i appreciate your words. Today has been a particularly hard one so they have come at a good time xo
You deserve happiness in this life Gemma. I don't care if it's given to you or if you take it. Given your experience I hope you take it.
The best singer I've ever heard!!!
This is absolutely amazing, this better blow up right now !
Still cant believe this is under a mill
This isn't popular?!?!?!?!?
I don’t understand how this song has not gone viral yet I love it.
cos its shit and cringey af
agreed
Just another mainstream wingey pc snowflake song for all the sheep to follow.

This just goes to show you don’t have to be really famous to make songs that hit people right in the heart. They deserve more recognition❤️

I had to pull over and get out of my car and have a walk, have a cry and reminisce.
Thank you for this song, it touched my soul on a deep level, and a song hasn't done that for years.
Right there with you buddy!!
Same
I feel for you
@@ZUMBAKIRSTIN sorry you've been through the same shit my dude. :( No one deserves it
I too have been cheated on. The pain is unbearable.
Finally a song that has a token of respect for male hurt and feelings. Maybe we can treat the male suicide rate seriously.
Daniel Kisliakov amen bro, we need to do it ASAP
Amen brother
Agreed.
We feel pain like anyone else.
Women do not have a copyright on being abused. Great video. Didn't expect that.

Hits me in my feels. Same situation with my family and I was in the same situation a year ago💔
Man this song goes deep. Right as I split up with my partner... any blokes out there that need a hand in life REACH OUT TO YOUR MATES. We all gotta stand together
It’s like you saw my life in the last 3 months and made it into a song. This has helped me move on. Thank you.
This song so eloquently describes the feelings when one partner cheats. It literally rips you apart.
I got to meet Kenny last night. Birds played at my work. I had such a fangirl moment. He's such a humble person. I told him how much I love Birds and Karnivool and he just gave me a hug. I fucking cried man, so fucking cool.
Birds Of Tokyo,WTF! Its just one fantastic song after another with you guys. One of the best Oz bands of all time.
Whent to school with this bloke good man God bless
Saw them perform today on TV for Anzac day celebration. This was the 2nd song they sang. Liked it and ended up here. Love the song!
Same
Liza T what did u think of the umpires and the booing?
@@huntarchivers1234 I didn't notice it. Don't they like the band?
Karnivool is still one of my favorite bands and to see how far Birds of Tokyo have come, it's crazy. Such a good singer and both bands are awesome.
I haven't been cheated on - much like what this song is about - but I have had my crush been taken away from me, it was very hard to cope with, for the next few days I was really sad, crying to myself trying to get over it.

This is what Perth brings out good singers love Perth been here all my life
Underrated song. Underrated band. I look forward to hearing more from the birds of tokyo!
Karnivool is underrated
Why isn't birds of Tokyo more popular in the world one of the best things to come from Aussie music
Love this song, great work guys and so proud of this Aussie band
This song makes me cry each time I hear it. This situation happened to me. 18 months on, I still struggle with it. I'm glad this song was written
One of the most emotional songs I have heard in the past few years. Amazing track.
I'm not crying.. you are
Don't be in denial, bring the hugs in everyone, make those shoulders comfy for a good cry.
Totes
Totally not crying! Hehe😅😅😅😅😭😭😭😭😭😭
I....know *sobs*
yep, i am
Absolutely heartbreaking. I'm sorry this happened to you. Thank you for singing about it
My daughter and I met the guys from birds of Tokyo one evening in Adelaide. They had been a support band. They were so nice to my daughter took selfies with her and chatted to us for 10 mins or so.
i feel your pain "never call someone a real friend unless they don't just appear in the light times but also in the dark times"
❣️💕💕💞💓💗💜🖤🤍🤎(110) Percent 🙏
I haven’t heard birds of Tokyo in years but they were always one of my favourite bands. I was cheated on by my husband at the end of 2016 and this song hits me right in the feels. Cheaters suck.
You're a grub
@Xxoreo _thebiscitxX All hail the white knight. Cheaters are anal worms, fuck you.
@Xxoreo _thebiscitxX biggest white knight, obviously a joke get a grip.
Lilypie aw i’m so sorry :(
He made all those promises and he Burn you Men should think more before they say I do even that I’m a male 🙏💔❤️💔
Reminder me to never cheat on an artist. That was beautiful, amazing song with an amazing meaning
Or anyone
Or just don't cheat at all..
@@auzell1449 Where does it say that I thought cheating was something even remotely acceptable?
I'd never date a musician period.
Most of my close friends are musicians and I can honestly say usually (not always) they are the cheaters.
In the car,
Turn up the Volume.
Leave it all behind.
LOVE this song.
Making us proud.
Australia.
Yes!

Aussie rules needs to blow up birds of Tokyo best band ever
Hurts when people have to hurt so deep, but it's also where good music comes from...
Poor bloke but what a powerful and emotional song whilst also highlighting Male suffering and depression bloke is a hero for this
Love this band
the dead staring is downright terrifying but still, respect to this man for pouring his heart into this song❤😊
This is the Best Song I have ever heard in my Life. Thank you Karnivool for guiding me to Birds of Tokyo. Love & Light
lol you need to listen to a lot more music, especially outside of shitty aus bands.
Excuse me matt if you're calling Australian bands shit then why are you here don't tell people what to listen too. ol mate can listen to anything he wants
Fuck off matt you wanker!
Karnivool to birds! Was the other way for me
Dude wtf this is a terrible song. And I LOVE Karnivool, but this is just disappointing from Ian, and from someone who leaded Karnivool. Really bad music.
One of the best songs I have ever heard, so much emotion in this!!
Obsessed with this song 💜
Playing it day and night across the Earth 🌍 until year 6831 He made all those promise this one I will stand by till my light burns 🥵 out 💜🤍🖤💜
Such a powerful song. And the film clip.....dynamite. When Aussies do great songs, we do them with style.
agreed fellow Australian!
Love this song
Just THE BEST most inspiring Aussie band by far!!! Can't wait for the CD!!! Pure bloody Aussie BRILLIANCE!!💙💙💙💙💙
Love all their music
@1:50 The emotion in the word 'apart' gets me every time.
My latest fav song. I am a long distance truck driver. Every time it comes on the radio is cranking
still breaks me, this is an awsome song
This song is soooo
Underrated ☹️
This song make me cry 😢😢😢
Most beautiful and heartbreaking lyrics i’ve ever heard♥️
Love you guys great music 🎵❤
Such a great song. Agree with the sentiment of how underrated it is ❤
Thus man's lyrics are so good. Talented band.
I love this song so so much!! It plays on the radio in Australia all the time and I’m glad I’ve found the video clip! Love u guys so much x
Holy shit these guys deserve more recognition !!

..i LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!..heard it on the radio a couple weeks ago, HAD to search it up, SO HAD TO!!!!!!!..
Such an incredible song with such a sad story to it 😔
The best Australian vocalist of our generation. Bah None.
Indeed, his works in Karnivool is even more outstanding. Check out Jim Grey from Caligula’s Horse too
Oh Australian?! Nioce
Artur Santiago 100% he kills it more in Karnivool
Sixpakbee 4406 would not disagree brother. They are more dynamic and different.
@@joelwilliam6216 Agreed! BOT is just to pop for me
This song reduced me to tears! Great song and amazing video! Love you Kenny 💖
This song rings true to my heart. As I felt shock and dismayed when she threw our Love aside for one night. 😢
This is just solid songwriting from the heart. Needs more views, likes, comments.
Thanks for another great song Birds of Tokyo! 👍🏾
The best song i have ever heard. Make more of these songs. These songs are reminding me that i am hurt.
Hi! Allymoon. I was surprised by the letters of Tokyo. Because I'm sending a message from Tokyo🗼. I looked up the meaning of this band name. There is also news that many birds are coming back in Tokyo now, and it is increasing too much😉. Their wish became a reality. If you have a chance to meet them, please tell them "thank you." Allymoon-music is the best. Thank you💕
How has this not blown up??? It should of been on trending, it hasn't got the attention it deserves
My heart breaks & bleeds like this for you, for me, for anyone who has been in that chair.... fortunately, life goes on xxx
Good lord. This song is amazing. Brings tears to my eyes..so relatable for so many .
Gorgeous song
Congrats on becoming a finalist in ISC! I saw you were a finalist too so I wanted to check you out 😁
Your visuals were very moving... internal wounds are very real pain too.. Please keep making music. You are INCREDIBLE!
Was lucky enough to see them in their home state of Western Australia, brilliant band.

“You made all those promises “
Been there. Done that. God bless Ian Kenny.
