i don’t know why this channel ended. if it was because people weren’t watching, i’d like to say that people were flat wrong. it’s such a beautiful addition to the blogotheque style of music videos. thoughtfully shot, the intros are so beautifully, authentically human, and the music curated with such a focus on artistry. whoever you are who shot these, i hope you’re doing very well, and making even more beautiful stuff that makes you and others happy. and if not, i hope you keep making these videos. it was working.
Was a passion project I made in my spare time. Many other channels started doing the same, but as a business model (Mahogany etc). There comes a point where volume devalues what's unique and money devalues the intent. I didn't want to be a part of that. As a creative experiment, I'm humbled by the audiences and artists who appreciate it.
@@watchlistentell this is by far one of my favorite videos on the Internet, so I can definitely say I'm happy you captured this moment to share with all of us. Much thanks 🤙🏼
I also think that the artists got something out of this too. It is a change from playing in front of thousands on a stage. They look more relaxed and I can feel they played from the heart. Playing in a public park and jamming out will always bring a uplifting feeling. As a viewer it is something special. Thanks WTL!
2023 and this recording will always have a special place in my heart. It’s bringing back so many memories of a different period in my life whilst staying totally timeless.
watchlistentell was one of the best. All these years later, I can see why you stopped! "There comes a point where volume devalues what's unique and money devalues the intent" - truer words never typed mate.
I remember myself finding this video when it had 100 views, and now I come back to watch the video- and it has over a million. And it's 6 years I'm listening to this song. strange
This is, simply, a perfect song, and Bombay Bycicle Club are one of the best bands (if not THE best) on this planet. I hope they'll get the recognition they deserve.
Another quality video, big respect to what you guys are doing, and to Bombay Bicycle Club. thank you for bringing beautiful music and videos like this to the world! Pure Bliss.
This is still hands-down my favourite Watchlistentell. Although Absynthe Minded's "Envoi" and TDCC's "Something Good Can Work" are close seconds. But this is just...beautiful. So beautiful.
This band have such a natural tone to their sound, its hard to find musicians like this these days. I really hope they go far as they are seriously underrated
These guys really can hold thier heads high in the "inde" world of the modern age. They have really given something special and remarkable that has been unseen from previous bands of similar genre. The music can manage itself in almost any tempo, and volume, managing to keep the bruitaly georgeous lyrics with some astonishing instrumental flares. These guy's are far too kind to us! I feel like saying "really bombay bicycle club, you shouldn't have!". My greatest respect to you 4 boys.
I hate how most people only like songs because they're in the charts, or because they're recent. It's gotten to the point where the songs in the charts all sound the same. But because they're new, people automatically like them. It makes me sad to see what music has turned into. This is what a good song sounds like. Not auto-tuned, no stupid video, just proper music and real singing. Some people have forgotten what that is.
I absolutely have my favorite acoustic performances, But can not help over seven years keep listening to this. Amazing sound so perfectly orchestrated!
Bombay Bicycle Club can basically pull off any one of their studio recorded songs just as stunningly in acoustic form, it's refeshing to find such a raw and honest band.
Young Karl More an acknowledgement of how hilariously shy and awkward they are but it kind of just adds to the greatness of the video. Still, Bombay Bicycle Club =
Watch listen tell! You were such an inspiration to me growing up. I dreamt of making a band and finding you to film us in moments like this. I miss your videos, please come back! I come back to all your videos when I’m feeling down they make me feel great! Been a follower since 2012
Anyone notice how Jack blinks his eyes at the beginning of this video he's so adorable OMG and the fact that he's such an awesome musician just adds to the reason I love him!!!
For the longest time I thought he was saying "cemetery tower"....now that I know it's "sanitary towel", I understand their previously confusing gigglyness. God love 'em. :)
This is the video I play at this time of year where it's cold and wet, to remind me that Spring is coming soon. It's coming. I cannot wait for those hazy sunshine days...
You guys are my IDOLS!! top 3 fav bands 1. The beatles 2. BBC! 3. never shout never Yeah. You guys are on the same list as the beatles. Sixteen is my boyfriend and i's song. We were sharing earbuds, listening to it when we had our first kiss. Just thought you guys should know :D
If you have enjoyed this, know this. Sharing this video and allowing others to enjoy it too, is how WLT works. Imagine if everyone who had watched this, shared it with just a few other friends... After all, you put the T in WLT.
I'm a yank so I don't know if this is the right thing to say, but: Bloody amazing!!!! haha...I love bands/musicians that can switch it up and be creative with their sound and instruments!!
just so you know everyone , this hiatus will result in changing the band , they'll come with a different style and different music so don't whine later you should be ready and accept the change .
Even the stuff from their latest album sounds beautiful played acoustically because they create such great songs. ruclips.net/video/2MXPrus4bMk/видео.html
Lyrics: It's that ancient love That you won't outgrow It's the fee you pay It's the debt you owe Is that subtle way That you throw me down I am inches above The dust on the ground I await your call I await your crown Lets change our roads And chase them all around Is that subtle way You throw me down I am inches above The dust on the ground And all is quiet All is quiet now And all is silent All is silent now Now I don't hide it I don't hide it now It's that ancient love That just moves along And there's an itch so slight Even when you're gone Well I met you right But I kept your wrong And I must wait until I've found the ground that you are walking on And all is quiet All is quiet now And all is silent All is silent now Now I don't hide it I don't hide it now Now I don't hide it I don't hide it now Songwriters: Jack Steadman

@@watchlistentell i wanna thank you still for sharing this still. used to always check up on your channel back when i was in high school

@@Cloudlylofi They certainly seemed to nail it.
Jack Steadman is one of the greatest musicians of our time. Music straight from the heart.
Stop making fake accounts, Jack

Still coming back to this channel 🥹 so much memories
Same 🥹❤️
watchlistentell was one of the best. All these years later, I can see why you stopped! "There comes a point where volume devalues what's unique and money devalues the intent" - truer words never typed mate.
Pressure from Sub/followers/views/likes also warps intent. Less felt like more.
this was the soundtrack of the first love of my life
This is definitely the best version of this song! Thanks for sharing!
This song gets me through the dark times when I can't sleep and helps me relax and slip away
In my opinion, this is a lot better than the studio-recorded version. This just captures the place and the moment. Perfect, spot on, amazing!
2020. Still got me comin back🖤
This channel holds a special place in my heart ❤️
I feel the same way ❤
I remember myself finding this video when it had 100 views, and now I come back to watch the video- and it has over a million.
And it's 6 years I'm listening to this song. strange
Are you still listening to it?
Basti Halligalli yes, indeed I am..
I also keep coming back, one of my favorite performances ever and i've probably seen it 50 times. Never will i forget it.
So it’s 10 years now. Still coming back.
@@dylanaspine :)
they look like such babies! love them all for how far they've come and the journeys they've been on
I absolutely love that acoustic version!
This is, simply, a perfect song, and Bombay Bycicle Club are one of the best bands (if not THE best) on this planet. I hope they'll get the recognition they deserve.
How was this 13 years ago... My god time starts to fly as you get older.
Another quality video, big respect to what you guys are doing, and to Bombay Bicycle Club.
thank you for bringing beautiful music and videos like this to the world!
Pure Bliss.
Hello. I first listened to this song a lot back in 2013. You looked like newbies and I was young. Time flies and I'm in my 30s now. Sigh.
It's raining outside and I can't think of anything in the world to listen to better than this right now
Been listening ever since it came out! 10 years.. insane!!!!
He's the reason i play the guitar :) thx Jack!
This will always be my favorite song, I miss them
Props on a great performance, especially knowing how hard playing is without a strap, having to wedge the guitar there with your arm
This is still hands-down my favourite Watchlistentell. Although Absynthe Minded's "Envoi" and TDCC's "Something Good Can Work" are close seconds. But this is just...beautiful. So beautiful.
This band have such a natural tone to their sound, its hard to find musicians like this these days. I really hope they go far as they are seriously underrated
:) Indeed they did.
I think it's safe to say they did.
@@stephenbeard4747 yep! Seen them many times since and they just get better and better 👌
At the beginning everyone looks so childish laughing with such innocence. :D
Love BBC.
Discovered these guys here. Still love them 10yrs later. Thank you WLT.
Always go back to this. It's so beautiful
Modest, nice and very talented boys that's why I love them.They're just sitting on the grass and playing their music. Beautiful.
These guys really can hold thier heads high in the "inde" world of the modern age.
They have really given something special and remarkable that has been unseen from previous bands of similar genre.
The music can manage itself in almost any tempo, and volume, managing to keep the bruitaly georgeous lyrics with some astonishing instrumental flares.
These guy's are far too kind to us!
I feel like saying "really bombay bicycle club, you shouldn't have!".

I absolutely have my favorite acoustic performances, But can not help over seven years keep listening to this. Amazing sound so perfectly orchestrated!
this song captures the british summer. just simply amazing. thank you to watch listen tell by far the best channel on youtube
I can’t believe this is from 12 years ago. Such a beautiful song
Their love is so genuine. I just can't find a better word.
Bombay Bicycle Club can basically pull off any one of their studio recorded songs just as stunningly in acoustic form, it's refeshing to find such a raw and honest band.
Listened to this song when there was 50k views and I still listen to it everyday. Great tune.
This is what music should sound like, this is what keeps the spirit of the 60's and 70's legends alive.
As a heterosexual male I can safely say that Jack Steadman is the most adorable human being on the planet. And an excellent songwriter and musician.
Young Karl More an acknowledgement of how hilariously shy and awkward they are but it kind of just adds to the greatness of the video. Still, Bombay Bicycle Club =
Im so in love with these boys. Im so in love with this song. Bravo boys, bravo. Bring back the music.
Years and years later, im still coming back
His voice gives me actual goosebumps. Gorgeous
Watch listen tell! You were such an inspiration to me growing up. I dreamt of making a band and finding you to film us in moments like this. I miss your videos, please come back! I come back to all your videos when I’m feeling down they make me feel great!
Been a follower since 2012
Comments like this make me feel great too.
these guys are the band of the generation.
they're terribly underrated.
and i love it.
Fuck man nearly 7 years. Still awesome.
ابو ق
10 now
I seriously can't understand how people can dislike this. Words can't describe how beautiful this is.
This version is so much better than the one on the cd!!! Beautiful work guys! And the camerawork...I love it! Thank you
This is probably my favourite song in the world, and Ed's little smirk at the beginning just melts my heart.. :')
I will always love this song and WLT for all the beautiful music I found here
I love how they're all trying to keep a straight face and avoid laughing in the introduction.
Years later, i still come back to listen to this version of the song over the original
Anyone notice how Jack blinks his eyes at the beginning of this video he's so adorable OMG and the fact that he's such an awesome musician just adds to the reason I love him!!!
2019. Still listening.
2020
2021
I love his body language and his facial expressions. He is totally caught up in the song.
how u guys gel in with the melody is beautiful....!
I love this version....much better than the CD one! ;)
Roland Nikrandt exactly my thoughts on the video!
The Album one is really good too. Probably the best song in the album.
i love the bassist's surprised little grin when jack mentions the sanitary towel at the start
Bombay bicycle club are beautiful. I love every one of their songs, and his singing voice is unusually wonderful.
For the longest time I thought he was saying "cemetery tower"....now that I know it's "sanitary towel", I understand their previously confusing gigglyness.
God love 'em. :)
Glad i'm up late tonight, I stumbled upon "WLT". Love you Brits and all your great songwriting.
This is the video I play at this time of year where it's cold and wet, to remind me that Spring is coming soon. It's coming.
I cannot wait for those hazy sunshine days...
Thank you for helping me find BBC back in '09!
Made me cry, can't stop watching it.
arghhhh you know when it's annoying to love something so much, that's what i feel for this band.
Thank you.
such a good song. The depth of field on that camera is stunnnnning.
You know cause...straps are too mainstream.
god his voice makes me...shiver? actually shiver doesnt justify it enough. i cant explain it but his voice just does things to me.
what a beautiful version of a beautiful song
Beautifully composed! That chorus is so powerful and captivating, you instantly feel the emotion they convey through the melody.
That silly grin...crazy how happy authentic music like this makes me
I feel a lot of energy while I am listening to this...
...that's something amazing...
Going to see them live next sunday in Amsterdam!! This video makes me so excited, can't wait.
You guys are my IDOLS!! top 3 fav bands
1. The beatles
2. BBC!
3. never shout never
Yeah. You guys are on the same list as the beatles. Sixteen is my boyfriend and i's song. We were sharing earbuds, listening to it when we had our first kiss. Just thought you guys should know :D
It's 2020 and I keep coming back to this :)
Sad to hear this has come to an end. The way you captured their (the artists) essence will be missed.
If you have enjoyed this, know this. Sharing this video and allowing others to enjoy it too, is how WLT works. Imagine if everyone who had watched this, shared it with just a few other friends... After all, you put the T in WLT.
I will never stop sharing this video ❤️
@@irismeeow its the ancient love that you wont outgrow
When I watch this I feel like I'm there, standing next to him. Watch Listen Tell is truly magical.
brilliant song, "Well I met you right, but I kept you wrong..." really feel those lyrics...
Jack " standing next to a sanitary towel"
Suren says to himself *dont laugh suren, your better than Jamie!*
i love the whole groove he's got going when he plays, its awesome!
what amazing quality and beautiful sound, now i can't wait to see their live acoustic session in Norwich!!
this is beautifully filmed, and beautifully performed. just beautiful, as always.
thanks for making music...especially this kind of music
when they started to grin in the beginning, my heart melted away
One of my favorite song of all time !
I'm a yank so I don't know if this is the right thing to say, but: Bloody amazing!!!! haha...I love bands/musicians that can switch it up and be creative with their sound and instruments!!
Best thing Ive heard in a very long time!
awww jack's so adorable
So beautiful, so dreamy..
This is seriously one of the best songs EVER.
It's really in accordance with the time. Beautiful lyrics, to whomever wrote this piece.
Best song I have ever heard hands down!
just so you know everyone , this hiatus will result in changing the band , they'll come with a different style and different music so don't whine later you should be ready and accept the change .
Even the stuff from their latest album sounds beautiful played acoustically because they create such great songs.
ruclips.net/video/2MXPrus4bMk/видео.html
they are looking like a hand full of schoolboys after school making some music. Still love this so so much! Thank you
This will never not be ruddy brilliant.
I Love This Band So Much... They're Just Doing Something They Love To Do,Very Talented.
the most important video on youtube for me
Spiritual lyrics man . My mate slatts introduced me to this band
the video and audio both are really nice. and this is a beautiful acoustic song
Lyrics:
It's that ancient love
That you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay
It's the debt you owe
Is that subtle way
That you throw me down
I am inches above
The dust on the ground
I await your call
I await your crown
Lets change our roads
And chase them all around
Is that subtle way
You throw me down
I am inches above
The dust on the ground
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
Now I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love
That just moves along
And there's an itch so slight
Even when you're gone
Well I met you right
But I kept your wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground that you are walking on
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
Now I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
Now I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
