This guy knows what's up, props to you Declan, I hope you continue to write about your viewpoint on important subjects like this. Your messages on these matters I completely and whole heartedly agree with, paired with the intricate shots, in this video in particular, really put all of the lyrics together, to make something truly meaningful and powerful. Keep sharing what you believe in, it needs to be heard. I know you'll do great things kiddo.
Exactly! Like Brazil is also so incredibly outspoken against FIFA Brazil and I find it really admirable. Being a singer is absolutely meaningless if the artist doesn't sing what they care about!
Such hypocrites. You can't say you're a christian and do only what you please. This message is so true, there are so many people who say they are christian for social or political gain and it hurts the church and so many others. They need to be called out like Declan has done.
@@vbm8992 just because you've never met one, doesn't mean there aren't people like that. I'm Christian too! But there are people who call themselves Christian so that they can have a reason to do whatever they want.
been a fan for a lil more than a year and have stalked his youtube account endlessly and have all his songs on my spotify playlist.. exCU ME HOW COME I DIDNT KNOW THIS FACKIN EXISTED
I listened to this in the bath 8 years ago when I decided to come out to my family. They're religious and I interpreted this song as 'I'm doing nothing wrong, you can shun me but my Lord cannot'. Thankyou Declan, it's been a wild ride but I've been the happiest since.
Bethlehem Lyrics So, you've left it all behind you For a love is only as you see it Though so many do confide in you It seems you are the one that confides most But you sin as you wish Because I'm in Bethlehem I've got a seat in heaven And though I'm heaven sent I can do as I want and you don't have the right to choose Codes, you follow codes and break them For a love is only what does suit you most Hope, I hope and pray for love to reign For love is what I give through my own codes But you sin as you wish Because I'm in Bethlehem I've got a seat in heaven And though I'm heaven sent I can do as I want and you don't have the right to choose I'm in Bethlehem I've got a seat in heaven And though I'm heaven sent I can do as I want I'm in Bethlehem I've got a seat in heaven And though I'm heaven sent I can do as I want
Lilouskaya That's good. My sister ended up late so I only heard Isombard, can't say I wasn't a little disappointed but it was a good night and Blossoms were amazing.
as someone who goes to a southern “christian” private school, i couldn’t relate to this more. their idea of christianity is homophobia, racism, sexism, being a conservative, and being rich
Declan McKenna is a fucking inspiration, his raw politically charged mindset, when combined with his passion and immense musical talent make some of my favourite music ever, and he's only 17 for fucks sake! big up dec!
I knew Declan like 4 or almost 5 years ago with little pieces and I fell for him and for his music so bad, so I started to follow him, I'm so glad that he keeps growing and I know that there's a long way up waiting for him. I fall in love each time I hear any of his songs and every time I love him even more. He's gonna be so big, he's unique. God, I love the man.
Ofc he will blow up one day. But until then lets just type out names in the comments and hope someone notices. I will also prove I was here before he blows up.
I remember hearing this a few years ago on virgin media music on demand and I literally couldn't get it out of my head so I decided to learn to play it on guitar by ear, now hes blown up and he most definitely deserves it, such talent from such a young guy, incredibly jealous
Thank god for declan McKenna. Its so cool having someone my age i can relate too no matter what. We may be different sexes and from different countries but today's youth all face the same shit and its good to finally have someone who acknowledges it. Youre a hero in a sense, my friend. Hope you come back to the US soon, i'd love to hear you live.
Holy shit, I've heard a song or two of his playing on the radio and I couldn't find it until now, then I found the rest of his songs. These are amazing! Also, how old is this guy? He's doing so much already. Anyway, I'm really glad that I stumbled upon this.
this song is amazing, the way it's written, the way it sounds, it all has such meaning and it's all so beautiful, thanks for helping me Declan, I'm tired of the hypocrisy and homophobia of Christianity, you're an inspiration to me and countless others, keep on going!!
Declan it was this specific song that lit a spark under me that inspired me to start songwriting. You're a genius Declan, a musical god amongst men,thank you, thank you, thank you.
I've listened to this way too many times. I am pretty obsessed with this song, and the videos go along so well. It's just SUCH A GOOD SONG FOR DRIVING AROUND GOD. (EXCEPT I'M PISSING OFF THE NEIGHBORS, BECAUSE THEY'VE HEARD IT LIKE 80 TIMES NOW. OH WELL.)
i'm so sad 'cause you're so talented and so underrated. 2 years ago, people said you will become big but you didn't. and it makes me sick, you deserve so so so much.
He's gonna be so big someday.
Amanda Stewart YESS!! Soon :D
Amanda Stewart someday
Amanda Stewart YUP
ikr
Amanda Stewart I hope he does because Fuck he's so good
Haven't fell in love with an artist this quickly for a quite a while

i really love his voice
I have the biggest crush on Declan omg

Same✌

Erin J he goes my secondary school
You're going to be someone that shifts the landscape of culture in the 21st century and I'm ok with this.
Fuckin bless u Taha thank u so much x

Declan Mckenna ✊🏾
KhanStopMe z
KhanStopMe aren't you the friend of cavetown? I think I recognize you from one of his vids..or not..

Genevieve George what is he trying to say? I'm confused .
I think he's mostly talking about the hypocrisy of religious organisations like the Catholic Church.
Exactly! Like Brazil is also so incredibly outspoken against FIFA Brazil and I find it really admirable. Being a singer is absolutely meaningless if the artist doesn't sing what they care about!
i love him more than i hate myself
Same and tis scary
lmao same
I felt this.
you must not like him a lot then, because you shouldn't hate urself ;;)
Maddie Parks awe how idealistic.. lmao
I see the potential in this person. someday his music will be big.
agree XD
Such hypocrites. You can't say you're a christian and do only what you please. This message is so true, there are so many people who say they are christian for social or political gain and it hurts the church and so many others. They need to be called out like Declan has done.
Isabella Lynn agree! PREACHG
thank god someone has actually interpreted it right...
what are you TALKING about? i am christian, and i have never met anyone like this!
@@vbm8992 just because you've never met one, doesn't mean there aren't people like that. I'm Christian too! But there are people who call themselves Christian so that they can have a reason to do whatever they want.
It's all a matter of opinion religion.
been a fan for a lil more than a year and have stalked his youtube account endlessly and have all his songs on my spotify playlist.. exCU ME HOW COME I DIDNT KNOW THIS FACKIN EXISTED
ME TOO IT WAS RECOMMENDED TO ME TODAY AND I WAS LIKE ???
SAME! I thought I’ve watched all of his music videos but I’ve never seen this one before
Wow, very deep topic. I love the juxtaposition of your words and what is appearing in the video. Very chilling, and very relevant.
Sher de Lune when you said juxtaposition, that immediately reminded me of Matty Healy
And what is that deep topic ..?
AllGood Music It’s about hypocrisy in the church. Look up the lyrics Declan did a breakdown of it himself.
i just found him and I have already fall in love with him😂😍he's gonna be a big star one day
I listened to this in the bath 8 years ago when I decided to come out to my family. They're religious and I interpreted this song as 'I'm doing nothing wrong, you can shun me but my Lord cannot'. Thankyou Declan, it's been a wild ride but I've been the happiest since.
Sometime down the road of his career, I'm gonna be that asshole that comments "been here before he was mainstream" in every video.
Gail Dominque Cruz count me in
Same tbh
samee
Lol you were right tho
LOLZ HAHA TRUE
Declan is such a talented artist, I'm so excited to see where he goes in his career.
Bennett Rodriguez Agree! He is suprr talented and also such s genuine and sweet person. The world needs him ☺️
Bethlehem Lyrics
So, you've left it all behind you
For a love is only as you see it
Though so many do confide in you
It seems you are the one that confides most
But you sin as you wish
Because I'm in Bethlehem
I've got a seat in heaven
And though I'm heaven sent
I can do as I want and you don't have the right to choose
Codes, you follow codes and break them
For a love is only what does suit you most
Hope, I hope and pray for love to reign
For love is what I give through my own codes
But you sin as you wish
Because I'm in Bethlehem
I've got a seat in heaven
And though I'm heaven sent
I can do as I want and you don't have the right to choose
I'm in Bethlehem
I've got a seat in heaven
And though I'm heaven sent
I can do as I want
I'm in Bethlehem
I've got a seat in heaven
And though I'm heaven sent
I can do as I want
This is literally my town lol. Can't wait to leave it in the dust.
same😂
This song sounds so much like The Shins to me. I really like it. Looking forward to seeing him supporting Blossoms in Glasgow tonight.
Saw him in paris tonight, was amazing
Lilouskaya That's good. My sister ended up late so I only heard Isombard, can't say I wasn't a little disappointed but it was a good night and Blossoms were amazing.
I can now happily confirm that this song is amazing live :)
SAME
This guitar never gets old
as someone who goes to a southern “christian” private school, i couldn’t relate to this more. their idea of christianity is homophobia, racism, sexism, being a conservative, and being rich
Declan McKenna is a fucking inspiration, his raw politically charged mindset, when combined with his passion and immense musical talent make some of my favourite music ever, and he's only 17 for fucks sake! big up dec!
(hello 5 yr old comment) yes. yes and yes

I knew Declan like 4 or almost 5 years ago with little pieces and I fell for him and for his music so bad, so I started to follow him, I'm so glad that he keeps growing and I know that there's a long way up waiting for him.
I fall in love each time I hear any of his songs and every time I love him even more.
He's gonna be so big, he's unique.

I don't normally leave a comment, but Declan is just so good and I couldn't help listening to all his songs.
cant wait for you to be big but at the same time i wish i could just keep you and all of your perfection to myself
I remember hearing this a few years ago on virgin media music on demand and I literally couldn't get it out of my head so I decided to learn to play it on guitar by ear, now hes blown up and he most definitely deserves it, such talent from such a young guy, incredibly jealous

hi, have u seen “the key to life on earth” LMAO
His music literally gives me chillsssssss
thumbs up for the piggly wiggly
im pretty sure that he is going to be worldwide.He is pure talent
Honestly one of the better artists that I've heard in a while. Reminds me of Vampire Weekend for some reason 🤔
How could you compare him to vampire weekend😒😒😒
It's a comparison that I've heard a lot. Not unreasonable.
your music is so underappreciated
I just noticed that you can see Declan in the back of the crowd at 3:11
haha youre right
I've listened to this way too many times. I am pretty obsessed with this song, and the videos go along so well. It's just SUCH A GOOD SONG FOR DRIVING AROUND GOD. (EXCEPT I'M PISSING OFF THE NEIGHBORS, BECAUSE THEY'VE HEARD IT LIKE 80 TIMES NOW. OH WELL.)
i'm so sad 'cause you're so talented and so underrated. 2 years ago, people said you will become big but you didn't. and it makes me sick, you deserve so so so much.
i am so in love yes ive discovered a new beautiful artist
how did u train the baby raccoon to be in the video please i need answer
He probably didn't it might have been just a video someone sent to him or something else
that voice
