One day I woke up to find
There was a hole in my mind
I could not be certain or sure
Of anything I knew before
Get up, get out, stand up and shout your name
Don't be afraid to get in the way again
Don't try to stop, like it or not you'll change
You know you only can go further away
When did we forget what we knew?
When did we grow up and when did we lose
Everything we were so sure of back then?
How do we know it won't happen again?
Somewhere an urgency fell from my side
Some time a border between us arrived
That says we are separate and newly defined
It tells us to take it seriously this time
cos there is no once and for all
Get up, get out, stand up and shout your name
Don't be afraid to get in the way again
Don't try to stop, like it or not you'll change
You know you only can go further away
When did we forget what we knew?
When did we grow up and when did we lose
Everything we were so sure of back then?
How do we know it won't happen again?
Now i am sure of my place in the world
I raise up my flag and I watch it unfurl
I know what I want and, I think, what is true
And now i am certain of my love for you
but there is no once and for all
R.I.P. Dudey Sutton, the actor in this video. He passed away at 85 today.
This means so much more than a bunch of half naked people dirty dancing on each other. Why can't all music videos be like this?
Rest in Peace Dudley Sutton, real tears there as you worked hard to be a actor, God Bless xx
This is definitely one of the best music videos ever.
It makes me cry nonetheless but I think the old man is happy at the end. His encounter to the lady gave him an opportunity to spend his days looking forward to something - something that gave him bubbly emotions and feeling young again, rather than slowly dying. Although the ending is very sad, I think he appreciates the special time this lady gave him. Beautiful song and beautiful story.
I kept seeing all these comments about people crying and I was thinking "why would I cry it's just a music video". Famous last words. Cried. A lot. I only came here for some awesome music!
Remember the first time I heard the demo of this back in 2009, and I genuinely thought to myself 'if this song doesn't reach thousands and eventually millions of people, then there really is no justice in this world'....two and a bit years later I'm absolutely buzzing to see that the response to this has been outstanding. It's such passionate and meaningful music. Well played, Clock Opera. You fucking deserve it. Here's hoping your album does as well as it deserves too.
I first found this video 12 years ago. Now it's 2024 and it's a bit bittersweet to see it reached 476k views. More so that Clock Opera themselves only have 3.22k subscribers.
The album is out today. Been waiting for this for months now. Recommend it to anyone who thinks that this song is half-decent.
So is anyone else sitting here crying?
2021 yes
Imgur brought me here and I wish you would stop cutting onions around me..........
Doug Booth brother! it brought me here as well
Doug Booth There's dozens of us! DOZENS!
Doug Booth ME tree!!
Samesies. These onions are pretty strong
Joe Follmann Dozens!
So pleased a FB friend shared this unbelievably beautiful film, which I will save to see again.I am also beginning to feel the creaks of older age, but inside my heart I am a sensitive and loving 21 year old. Maybe this is something a lot of younger people do not realise...your body lets you down, but your heart really does want to go on and on....and it is important to do what you want to do, while you can.
looking down at the comments, and all i can see is happy comments, that shows how much of a powerful song and music video this is, all respect to clock opera!
Hey guys love your music, so happy that my brothers band is supporting you on Sunday at The Green Door Store in Brighton!!! Wish i could come and see you guys!!!
This is the most touching music video I have ever ever seen.
first saw these guys supporting Yeasayer in August 2010 and was impressed with them straight away...its nice to see they are doing well still and have got such an awesome and inspiring video for this song. Best of luck to them in 2012!
this video is just beautiful. doesn't matter how many times i watch it i keep crying beautiful tears.
Super-professional. I want to become a director and I think tears of viewers is the best award for creators of films. That was awesome! Many thanks for you. Now I have something to thing about.
i accidentally watched the last half of the mv on tv and it brought tears to my eyes at the very last scene. What a beautiful & sad love story
watched this like 20x today.. never fails to make me cry >.<
Never hold back. Live for the moment.
Lovely video, that if it doesn't touch you, then you're already dead. It stars the great Dudley Sutton, who, for many years was in the UK TV show 'Lovejoy' alongside Ian McShane, as the rogueish Lovejoy's right-hand man, Tinker. Beautiful song.
I have been looking for this video for two years! Cry every time I see and hear it.
Just read this actors (Dudley Sutton's) Wiki, what an awesome dude rock on old man, rock on
easily the most powerful music video I've ever seen
Powerful video! You will shed a tear. A lesson to go after what you want, don't wait because it may not be there when you are ready!!!!
why is it every time i see this i cry? the video and the song fit together so well. T-T
That was the first music video that has ever made me cry. Incredible.
Dudley Sutton is such a great actor. So glad to see that he's still going.
Everytime I watch this thing I sob. It's so beautiful and so sad
Man, you have turned on the light in my head. Thanks.
Truly excellent video, great tune as well.
Thank you for portraying the elderly in a positive light. Real people, with real feelings and emotion. Today's Britain would like to see the elderly hidden away. They are deemed irrelevant to society. Videos like this can help address the awful anti elderly culture we have in the UK.
I cried like a baby. This song and video are sublime.
i can't believe how much i cried watching this video, the music is beautiful as the story the video is telling.
I've only ever cried while listening to two songs for the first time. This was the first time I saw this video and sobbed hysterically.
I Just love this song and album. I cannot stop listening or watching. See it got to me because i thought it was a love story and he would finally get to her until he lost her chance and it hit me. I didn't cry but i was touched. This is the first song i ever heard by this artist and i love them already.
Still love this, 8 years down the road.
My fav Clock Opera tune. Looking forward to seeing them again tonight in Manchester!
Can stop watching, crying never felt so beautiful.
The chorus is just magical, it keeps coming back again and again especially 1 minute 20 seconds onwards. The vocals, the unforgiving melody, the lyrics, this is a fantastic song and I think I may buy the album just for this.
Just discovered this band and am hugely impressed (and that's coming from an opera singer!). This is constantly on shuffle on my iPhone.
That man is adorable! Omg I wsnt to hug him! D:
breathtaking, captivating and inspirational. bravo bravo ten times over.
wow im crying right now...this was absolutly beautiful
Just saw these last night, they were awesome
This song stirred so many emotions, and when I came to watch this video I welled up with tears.
This was on the big TV in Leicester when I saw it for the first time. Stopped me in my tracks during shoppers rush hour and had me nearly in tears at the end!
Oh god. This is soo beautiful. I'm crying.
a beautiful song, a beautiful MV and all.....
This video and this song have a very powerful message!
just shows you life is to short and you should always take a chance even if you fear the out come
can't wait for the album! this video makes me cry more than anything.
Beautiful song with a beautiful music video
If only more music videos were this good and meaningful
one of the best song ever
i literally cried, beautiful
R.I.P Dudley, make no mistake, you will be missed.
What a great actor! Man
Saw a Poster of your band in town today. Great music!
so heartbreaking but so good at the same time...love is one thing that I hope I never have to live without
Beautiful video!! Deeply shakes the most frozen hearts!!!!
What a video, couldn't stop watching it!
THIS IS AN INSPIRED WORK OF ART...THE MUSIC AND THE VIDEO IS HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
If I hear this once, I have to hear this twice...and at the end i had listen a 100 times to this haha the song is great... and i think the video is first very sad and i feel sadness by myself because of the man... but it's great that he's smiling at the end :) awesome :D
now this is a video to break your heart, so so overwhelming. i genuinely cannot hold back my tears
Wow! speechless and impressive!
anyone else got goosebumps from this?
Album release is in my calendar. Awesome.
Crying my eyes out here!!!
Thanks for the recommendation, Ellie.
incredible, I wish I could come and see you in Glasgow tomorrow. Its so true, take your chances guys!
Simply beautiful!
this song is beautiful...the clock opera is amazing.. saw them perform in Manchester and they are AWESOME!
The lead has such a beautiful voice
Really makes me think twice about things!
cant handle my tears/ lyrics and video just awesome!
Made me cry beautful tears
oh my goodness. this is beautiful.
Great Video Guy & The Lads!
I've loved this song and the band since my girlfriend & I saw you at Latitude in 2011.
I'm busting for the album release!!
I want to hug that old man !!
This was beautiful..
She probably died from touching the pigeons. Moral of this video: don't touch pigeons.
this video is so beautiful...gets me every time :/
You guys are amazing! That´s music!
It's on our album, out 23rd April!
Wow, that was beautiful.
this video makes me sad. Last summer, I had a very well dressed old man knocking on the house door and ask about an old woman who lived next door and no one was answering the house. He said to me he used to know the woman back in the eighties and wanted to say hi (don't know if it was an old love story)...his face expression was beyond the sadness of this video character, when I had to tell the man that the old neighbour passed away a month earlier!
The first music video which made me cry.
so beautiful...
stunning video, beautiful song
absolutely fantastic.
Totally amazing and breathtaking video
That touched my heart..
shouldn't chop onions when i watch stuff like this
Beautiful
A great song... and Indeed a stunning band!!! Glad to heard you!!!
Amazing video and awesome music!
crying my eyes out

This video is so heartbreaking but also so lovely. I love to see how old people are in love, so cute :) ♥
Love this....
Wow.
That was fantastic.
