This is perhaps the sweetest thing ever (why am I crying?). He wanted to love her so badly even though they were so different. She was wild and free to soar, him not so much. Then came along this cool ass guy more "her type". I have never been more of a penguin in my whole life!
I totally love James Blake, but I have to give it up to BBC Earth for making animals totally relatable for all these decades. So much work and patience to create context that we call "human" but is really just all creatures in different ways. 💜
it's like the birds are performing to the song. Every shot is so precisely married to the music. Whoever stitched this video together so intricately is a genius.
I just love how the movements of the birds at times sink to the song. Like when they open their beaks and the wailing sound effects plays in the back of the mix. Top notch!
I saw James Blake perform this live by myself and met a very wonderful man during the show. The lyrics "I wouldn't do this on my own but I'm not on my own tonight" were sang between us and it was simply the best night of my life.
I'm crying, why have I been ignoring this video, never knew I'd be able to resonate with a penguin, beautiful just beautiful, just as gorgeous and calming as the song, beautiful work James and BBC *chef's kiss* 😭😭😭😭😭
If anyone is interested, this footage was filmed, I’m guessing, in Fiordland New Zealand. The penguin is called Tawaki or Fiordland Crested Penguin and the gull is a Buller’s Mollyhawk. Love James! Love birds!
Ok, first of all the editing and the story they created with these two are just heart-wrenching. I'm crying over a bird love story! I will say there is something so pure about this.
@@andymejia5456 wdym? its not like they told the penguins what to do. they may put some of the parts "out of context" so it fits better to the lyrics, but bro. this aint cgi
"Oh, you're goin' to the brink? I'm goin' there Why don't I come with you? You don't care what they think I'm gettin' there I could get there too" This is a beautiful verse
I cried with happiness after watching the video. Music + this video = love. Thanks to the author. I felt inner happiness, thank you thank you thank you!
Okay I watched this video twice and I'm shaking, crying at my workplace, I'm serious. What kind of beauty is this?!?! The funny thing is that yesterday I deleted this song from my playlist but now I have to reupload it! One of the best video materials I've seen in my life!
Thank you for using BBC footage...they do amazing things to remind us how wonderful this planet is. And you reminded us we are a part of the network and not so different from rather rest of it. And
I don't know what it is about James and his team's choices in videos for this album but it's is beautiful, diverse and nothing short of spellbinding. This one touched my soul, made me cry, smile and vibe all at once. I questioned the idea first but came to love the beautiful sentiment behind it. Mad love, James.
The levels! This is by far my favorite track on here and this is incredible how they told this story! Man, I really felt for that penguin. and then at the end where they start to mimic the other birds motions. could have cried lol need more videos done like this
James! World loves you when you love yourself. Non-human beings can be our best friends. Humans live together with all thing in this world. Be Happy for what you are 🙂 Nice music video
I heard this song on the radio at a friend's house less than a week ago. It was my introduction to James Blake. Since then I have come to love the songs on the Assume Form album. Beautiful music. Thanks James.
Well, when I heard the song on the record I did certainly not picture something like this for the video. Nice surprise Jamie boi, love u and ROTY for sure!
This is one of the best love stories I've seen, honestly, there's a special sensitivity to the video choice and the song itself, it truly manages to tell a universal fable through fucking Nat Geo archival footage, amazing idea.
*This guy is next-level in love with his wife.* (girlfriend* I assumed incorrectly.) A lot of his songs have such a positive emotion filled with a warm vibrancy.

I know right. I really had no intention to cry coming into this. wtf
Yes right, I can relate to the penguin because its basicly the situation I'm in at the moment and its real crap
Came here to enjoy music.

Yo Soy yes but watch the end! two penguins in love

I've been thinking about this comment for the past two days
We need more human like you!
you almost look like a vegan !! welcome !!
@@pakau haha I'm not vegan but Im more vegetarian than anything.
Facts like this had to take a lot of patience to film
Nature doc + James Blake = The christmas gift we all needed
Album of the year for sure, this song is unbelievable
Will i think so. also thom yorke anima is great 😍
@@vesta1711 Yes! Anima is in my top 5 for sure, Dawn Chorus is so so good
The only thing I enjoyed more than this was All My Heroes Are Cornballs
Dante Appling JPEGMAFIA and James Blake won my heart this year
grizz. Same!
If you get a chance to see him live, don’t miss it. It’s a vibe, literally.
Don't miss iiiiiit, like i diiiiid
Kai Brathwaite Where did you see him?
Atlanta
Philly, twice ! A vibe for sure !
okok!!! he’s coming to toronto in october. i’ve been planning on going. def buying my ticket this friday
writer: ok, so it's a song about following a lover's desire to travel and losing fear to follow her, any script idea?
james: p e n g u i n s
You are seeing, but start observing
Peguins have happy feet.
Felix Amadeo this is pretty much how it happened
@@jamesblake epic answer ♥ love your music, keep creating amazing stuff!
@@jamesblake You & Jamila are couple goals & the video & song absolutely stunning x
it's like the birds are performing to the song. Every shot is so precisely married to the music. Whoever stitched this video together so intricately is a genius.
When he said “I’ll go under your wing” I didn’t think he meant *literally* 😂
i laughed so hard on this
😂😂😂😂💀
lmaoooo
I just love how the movements of the birds at times sink to the song. Like when they open their beaks and the wailing sound effects plays in the back of the mix. Top notch!
I've never relate to a penguin this hard on my life
The song got me resonating penguins
This video just heart breaking throughout but love the ending! You will find the one that's meant for you ✨ Love 🇿🇦
Why am I crying bc a penguin got rejected by a bird? 😭
Beautiful work
I swear I cried too!!
I saw James Blake perform this live by myself and met a very wonderful man during the show. The lyrics "I wouldn't do this on my own but I'm not on my own tonight" were sang between us and it was simply the best night of my life.

‘13 Reasons Why’ Brought Me Here, Love Your Voice
When the lyrics are so deep and intricate then the video is happy feet and it still makes sense. The genius that is james blake
This is by far the best clip idea I've ever witnessed. Should I laugh ? Cry ? I have no idea
If anyone is interested, this footage was filmed, I’m guessing, in Fiordland New Zealand. The penguin is called Tawaki or Fiordland Crested Penguin and the gull is a Buller’s Mollyhawk. Love James! Love birds!
this is the cutest comment
@El Fatalisto Rapper he's just saying the he likes birds :)
Thank you, I was wondering!!
gaviota o alcatras?
Ok, first of all the editing and the story they created with these two are just heart-wrenching. I'm crying over a bird love story! I will say there is something so pure about this.
The editing of this is absolutely genius
Music and nature, a heavenly combination.
Sam from atypical would love this video.
Daniel dos Santos underrated COMMENT👏
YES
He would point out all the inaccurate things about this video lol
I thought about him too when I saw this clip
@@andymejia5456 wdym?
its not like they told the penguins what to do.
they may put some of the parts "out of context" so it fits better to the lyrics, but bro. this aint cgi
"Oh, you're goin' to the brink?
I'm goin' there
Why don't I come with you?
You don't care what they think
I'm gettin' there
I could get there too"
This is a beautiful verse
I'm convinced, James is the best artist ever!! WOW!! WHAAAAT?! I'm crying, giggling, relating to the damned penguin!! HOW?!!
Industry did not bring me here, industry reminded me of this classic. James Blake a legend
I love birds!!!! They so adorable!
One of my favourite songs of the whole year, so happy to see it get a video before the new year
absolutely brilliant. 2:39 this dynamic between the duo and then the single guy popping up and then to have him wailing. i just-
The sync is Insanely incredible.
I cried with happiness after watching the video. Music + this video = love. Thanks to the author.
I felt inner happiness, thank you thank you thank you!
Beautiful New Zealand penguins featured in one of my favourite James Blake songs? Love it.
I'm on my own tonight - even birds have more love than me.
nice editing.
Okay I watched this video twice and I'm shaking, crying at my workplace, I'm serious. What kind of beauty is this?!?! The funny thing is that yesterday I deleted this song from my playlist but now I have to reupload it!
One of the best video materials I've seen in my life!
It's time to!
INCROYABLE
c'est ouf
One of the most beautiful songs of the year
For whatever reason, this song helped me leave me ex. I heard it on a camping trip in 2020, and it stuck to me.
3:03 the penguin looks so jealous 😂. Nature is beautiful af!
he put so much thought into this, all the clips are selected beautifully. i enjoyed every second
Totally hooked after 13 reasons why. Beautiful to listen to. Reminds me of someone special. 🥰
when your love or inspiration for someone else or something else helps you to love yourself / your own kind
Never heard a more beautiful and brilliant song 😩🥲😭😭
One of the greatest musicians of our time
His music always has this unique mystery in it! Every song is a masterpiece ❤️ thank you so much James! Can't wait to see you live in Paris! 😘
this is the greatest song video combo on earth i cant stop watching this
When he said “I’ll go under your wing” they felt that
this song hurts me so much that i love it unconditionally
ight, but is nobody gonna mention the best collab of this decade? James Blake and BBC Earth.
This is the most iconic music video ever created
I'M A SIMPLE MAN.
I SEE NOTIFICATION, I HIT THE LIKE BUTTON AND THEN PROCEED TO WATCH WHAT THIS LEGEND HAS CREATED
Words cannot describe the beauty in this.
James Blake is just sooooo classic.
Thank you for using BBC footage...they do amazing things to remind us how wonderful this planet is. And you reminded us we are a part of the network and not so different from rather rest of it. And
Hands down,
the most soulful National Geographic video ever.
The background oooooo ooooo oooo oooo is best
HOLY SHIT, what an amazing music video. Totally showcases the magic of editing. Amazing work.

The levels! This is by far my favorite track on here and this is incredible how they told this story! Man, I really felt for that penguin. and then at the end where they start to mimic the other birds motions. could have cried lol need more videos done like this
This is lowkey the most genius idea for a music video I´ve ever seen
When this album came out I bawled about 500 times to this song.
I'm glad to know that after all this time i've been crying to penguins 🐧
haha
This is the best possible music video for this song, absolutely beautiful.
How the video ties to the song is incredible.
Great work as always.
James! World loves you when you love yourself. Non-human beings can be our best friends. Humans live together with all thing in this world. Be Happy for what you are 🙂 Nice music video

This might be the best music video of all time
Well, when I heard the song on the record I did certainly not picture something like this for the video. Nice surprise Jamie boi, love u and ROTY for sure!
This is my favorite song from you.
This is one of the best love stories I've seen, honestly, there's a special sensitivity to the video choice and the song itself, it truly manages to tell a universal fable through fucking Nat Geo archival footage, amazing idea.
this was amazing, wow. thank you for making that in exactly that way.
*This guy is next-level in love with his wife.* (girlfriend* I assumed incorrectly.)
A lot of his songs have such a positive emotion filled with a warm vibrancy.
YES
They seem to have an amazing and healthy relationship it’s so cute
Are they married?
i don’t think they’re married but could be wrong
This song is actually sad asf tho ...
This is one of the greatest music videos ever
For those who wonder where to find the female voice sample, here: *Bruno Nicolai - La Contessa, Incontro*
I WILL CONTINUALLY THANK YOU JAMES. FOR YOUR VISION, YOUR MUSIC, YOUR SOUL.
hands down my favourite song on the album.
I love everything about this! The birds have so much character in their face 😂
James Blake with a planet Earth video...inject this into my veins please.
Yes!!
Errr like NO! It’s a pile of crap
I read penis. Sorry.
@@antoniyo182 lol me too
We MUST protect this earth.
Incredible song, it’s so beautiful ❤😢 It would be awesome to see James Blake in concert at some point ❤
There is a world pre James and a world post James.
the both of which are propably better than the present one :)
Absoluyely
this song came out in the beginning of the year and it’s still the best song of the year.
Two of this decades greatest treasures collide!
I signed and performed this song in American Sign Language for my class ⭐️
Most beautiful and perfect video choice for this song omg i'm even more in love
Such a sweet video 😭😭❤️ got me crying ❤️😅
This song came at the right moment during mid mental issues
never thought I’d ever relate to a penguin this much I-
