the performance is completely live and unedited. (there are mistakes) we had battery powered amps underneath our seats which is why the volume is loud on the train :)
@Atomic Tom I've been coming back to and rewatching this video on and off for the last six years. It's been invigorating every single time. It was even the push I needed in chapters of my life when the compass was spinning and I had to pick a direction. It's such a great song - you guys sound awesome, are awesome, and put together an outstanding video. Respect!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Very nice to see that it's still moving people out there! We're actually working on our new album and we just released the first single. And we're playing some shows again. Come see us!
Can’t believe this happened 10 years ago. What a different time. I feel like there was a lot more hope in world then and this video embodies that feeling. Like so many, this was my introduction to Atomic Tom and I have been following you guys ever since 🤘😈🤘
This is just phenomenal. If NYC subway or any subway is looking for anything to promote their service to the mass via ads, this is the package...a golden one. The melody somehow makes you want to take a train and be taken out somewhere.
If you close your eyes, what you will hear is a band up on the stage singing and playing their musical instruments. Absolutely incredibly awesome! 😊❤❤❤❤
we had these little battery powered speakers that we plugged the iPhone's into.. (they are underneath our seats). our performance on the CBS Early Show you can actually see them...
Got a copy of The Moment and quite impressed. After playing it a couple of times, I must say that this is really a great debut album of the group. The songs sequencing is primed to set the moods of the listeners. Luke's vocals soar and it has an inherent quality of soul and richness to it. He expressed a genuine feeling of the lyrics up to the very last word of the final song. The guitar is totally wicked and really set the groups' warning to all : We're here to rock you! Good job, gentlemen.
To paraphrase another comment here: Going through my old favorited videos now in 2023. This is still one the best among all of them. I love the people on the train quietly or openly jamming along to the song
Hard to believe it's been a year already. Thank you for giving us some great music and fantastic performances. I think we all look forward to the many years of success you guys will undoubtedly have. Keep it up!
I remember the top comment was about the lady in the back really enjoying their performance when I visit this video 10 years ago when I was still a student.
I remember commenting on how awesome this video was and they, Atomic Tom, commented back a thanks and an urging to come see them live. It was a nice gesture and the concert rocked! :)
I saw them at The Wiltern in LA on Oct. 11th, opening for Anberlin and Switchfoot, and even though I had never heard of them I was truely impressed with their show. So much that I now own their cd,The Moment, and I have been listening to them non-stop. These guys are the real deal in concert.
I hope for one moment of my life to be as magical as this moment was for them... Absolutely outstanding and inspirational in every way. Well done, guys. There are 507 people in the world who have no soul inside them.
Even after 5 months since I first watched this video, it still brings freshness and smile across my face. I would like to see and hear more about this undeniably talented group. They should be in the mainstream radio stations, TV shows and big concerts. Their album has all the ingredients for a hit album and should have done better if more radio stations will recognize the musicality and awesome talent poured into it. Big thumbs up to the group's album!
Saw you guys live yesterday at the Macworld convention. The world needs more bands like you, I applaud the fantastically brilliant music genius you all portray. Please show the world that this is what music should be. I am definitely a fan after yesterday!
wow... really kool, i really dig the realness of the situation and the heart behind the music.... and it only gets better hearing you guys perform live.
The awesomeness surrounding this moment is enough to bring tears to the eye. This is something truly special, it shows us that the world still has life! And so does music! We aren't totally fucked!
this is amazing. really. the whole story about your instruments being stolen and such clever way of turning things around! inspiring and uncliched and adorable. you guys are amazing
who cares if it's apple and the ads associated with it. look at them having so much fun and putting feeling into their amazing music. this tops so much of the mainstream music and yet they're playing in a subway/bus on smart phones. man if i were there, i would be rocking out
There's nothing I can say about this which hasn't already been said, but I feel compelled to do so. Incredible, these guys are true musicians. Amazing performance, hats off to them. This made my day.
This video was recently shown in a screenwriting class I am helping teach, to show the students that there are no excuses for not doing the assignments. This is freakin' AWESOME...!!!!!
Finally found this video! For some reason i thought the title was "Wake Me Out", which RUclips automatically corrects into "Wake Me Up" which is a really common song title and needless to say i was never going to find it. But this video was a huge deal in my middle school! We showed it to the music teacher and everything
the performance is completely live and unedited. (there are mistakes) we had battery powered amps underneath our seats which is why the volume is loud on the train :)
Love it!!!!!!
all these years later and still gives me chills
Yea for some reason I can’t help but smile….
Going through my old favorited videos during the 2020 quarantine. This is still one the best among all of them.
Same here 2021!
It's 2024! Hope you still enjoy it :)
@@weareatomictom Still do!
@@sliferjam Thank you!!
almost 4 years and i'm still listening to this. its so awesome
Yea, but how 'bout now?
10+ and still listening
I like this version of the song better than the actual video they did for it.
I was going to write EXACT THE SAME comment, lol
thanks! but we never actually did a video for it.
Here for the 10 year!
we remember this too...
Here I am remembering old videos, 10 years later!
and now 13 years later! 😎

The absence of hope is self inflicted. Open up, stop the victim culture, and watch us prosper
Thank you for sticking with us! We're working on our new record now and just released the first single. And we're playing shows.... come see us!
Вот настоящие таланты!
2 years later and i still listen to this song on replay.
awsoemness..
who is the girl behind singer? WOOOHHH! i love her!
I've had a major crush on her ever since I saw this back then..
Apple commercial :D
Your new music video has me rewatching this, early youtube was something special man
Agreed! That was a special time
Is 2022, and I still come back to this after all
Very kind of you. We're glad the video still resonates with some! :)

Posted this on my Facebook 14 years ago and still look back and just amazed.
Listening to my favorites and came across this gem.

Thank you! The whole experience was such a trip
I keep playing this Video repeatedly, and I nver get tired of it, Its just so Great, what happens here, on this subway, this day...
Hard to believe it's been a year already. Thank you for giving us some great music and fantastic performances. I think we all look forward to the many years of success you guys will undoubtedly have. Keep it up!
Listening to this somehow feels like the first time I heard this. There is some awesome freshness to this song that seemed to last forever.

this just came up on my memories on FB, loved it back then 11/17/2010 and love it even more today-I just turned 68 :)
I remember the top comment was about the lady in the back really enjoying their performance when I visit this video 10 years ago when I was still a student.
Most likely of Greek or Italian heritage
half puerto rican, half cuban actually
Love this! Happy Monday!
can't stop listening to this songgg

I remember being one of the first few to watch this video. I still end up watching it several times a month.

The way you made it sound better than a live concert was unbelievable. Congrats on the awesome music.
I hope for one moment of my life to be as magical as this moment was for them...
Absolutely outstanding and inspirational in every way. Well done, guys.

I can't get enough of this!!
I found this video many years ago and it was my introduction to such an amazing band. Here's to another 10 years
Thank you! You should check out our new stuff!
Saw you guys live yesterday at the Macworld convention. The world needs more bands like you, I applaud the fantastically brilliant music genius you all portray. Please show the world that this is what music should be. I am definitely a fan after yesterday!
Quite simply an outstanding performance!!

In my opinion, Atomic Tom has inadvertently made the best music video of the year.
Best video, best band, best song, best album... u guys rock!!!!!!
I first heard this back when they put the video on youtube, and heard the non-live version on the radio today. This one is definitely better.
Im glad this video went viral its just positive vibe all over!
