My first girl made me listen to this, back in summer 2009, thought it was kinda sad at first but chill, so...yeah. We would drive at night to my place, smokin with windows open by the sea, just listening... Whenever i play this now, i m back there, young and free, besides her, gently smiling back at me. Music is a time machine.
@@berkesaribiyik3641 Translation of Mr. Ostyn's answer from my 2018 book 'Songwriters': "'My Heroics, Part One' is about a relationship that has ended, and the impact a break-up has on one's life. It's a song about the difficulty of love, about the doubts we have. The song comes straight from a difficult period in my life. I was in love with someone who was unavailable, and the verses are me saying very clearly: 'Choose me, here I am'. A pure form of flirting. The chorus offers the other side of the story: each romantic action we undertake has a consequence. I want to seduce the object of my affection, but she can't escape her current situation. The song comes from a very emotional place, but didn't explicitly describe my own situation. There's no 'My Heroics, Part Two', because this story ended right then and there. I really like the title: it's a love song in which I detail all the heroic things I'm planning to do, and I'm going to tell you about the woman I seduced'. It's a macho title for a soft song. 'Isn't it always so?' wouldn't have been an adequate title."
This band got it all... They just have 'it' The right frontman surrounded by the right musicians Pure band, on stage It all about the music All other is show only the guitar matters Like it or hate it,. What you see is what you get For me unique is their varied list of songs. Quitte an inspiration they have
@@pauljamesharperBalthazar, soulwax, arsenal, Tamino, novastar😉. Are you from belgium? We underestimate our own bands I guess. Glad to hear you enjoy our music.
@@pauljamesharper that's great. Tamino is defenitly worth checking out. Indigo night.. 👌. I hope you had a good time over here. I live close to the dutch border.

This song reminds me of her. We were both laying on her bed, showing eachother some songs and then she put this on, we were both silent and listening tho this song... it hurts :/
Does any one knows other songs with a similar vibe? I listened to their other stuff, but don't like it as much. I dont think it is as powerful as this one.
Auguste Boisdron check out the live version of delay from intergalactic lovers!!! very cool vibe also! but it has to be the live version.just type delay, intergalactic lovers studio brussel.

I suppose that I'm a bit older than you and I must acknowledge : music is a real time machine.
Well said Antoine
how did we experience the exact same thing though hahah, I still get a bit sad when I hear the song eventhough it's 4 years later.
I just discovered this masterpiece... I'm in love with it.
me too! repeat repeat repeat. It's so good!
better late than never
The good times 👍. One of the best bands of Belgium
Belachelijk dat zulk goede muziek zo onbekend blijft aan de gehele wereld :( Absynthe Minded verdient meer media-aandacht wereldwijd
ja zonde dit nummer heeft het echt wel..om een hit te worden. :)
lukas Kenis kben al verliefd op dit nummer van als het uitkwam, zalige vibe, ze zijn super!!
ik kocht direct de cd maar de mensen horen liever ronnie flex en sh*t....
nediyonlan
Ik had er nog nooit van gehoord maar ben het weze checken na een nummer op studio Brussel en nu ben ik om van bijna al hun nummers echt te gek
I'm a punkrocker, to this day I still wish I could've written this song. This is beyond greatness.....
Actually it is a translation of a famous Flemish writer Hugo Claus.
@@freddystaelens I know!
@@freddystaelens You're thinking about Envoi, not My Heroics...
@@freddystaelens not this one
I'm still waiting the part two
Still waiting yes
@@pottierkurt1702 Me too :D
A few years ago, I interviewed songwriter Bert Ostyn, and he told me there will never be a second part.

Still listening to this work of art
This song is everything. 🖤
Meest underrated band van België
With ghinzu
This band got it all... They just have 'it'
The right frontman surrounded by the right musicians
Pure band, on stage It all about the music
All other is show only the guitar matters
Like it or hate it,. What you see is what you get

Directed by Felix Van Groeningen, filmed by Ruben Impens, produced by Hans Buyse. With a glamorous role for Delfine Bafort.
Ik denk dat An er het spleditst uitkomt
@Tijs Van de Weyer Opatuur in Gent, maar bestaat al lang niet meer. Op 1:20 kan je de eigenaar zien staan achter den toog.
Underrated band and song.
Belguim is a rock superpower in my books. dEUS, Zita Swoon, K's Choice, Absynthe Minded...,etc

Absynthe Minded - rising star..
Greetings from Poland!
This song has never not made me cry.
Balthazar, deus, absynthe minded, hooverphonic, heerlijke bands. Heerlijk clip ook dit
I keep coming back to this one year after year
Damn i absolutely love this song, and the atmosphere in the music video. This is top class!!
Seams to be in heaven, smooth and also heavy!!!
Brasil ✌️❤️ love BELGICA ❤️
one of the best songs to show your love for a girl!
Every time i fall in love, i listen to this song. :)
Or when their is a breakup :(
like her dance and the atmosphere of this all....!!!!!!
free weekend, no stress with the right music :-)
het is weer weekend !
Deze was ik helemaal vergeten. Geweldig toch en zoveel herinneringen. Zo maken ze er maar weinig.
I love absinthe and stumbled across this song...I am gonna pour myself a glass lol
1:31 "Baby won't you come sit on me"... Serious pickup line advice here 😏 Wasn't expecting that 🤗
I always thought he said "consider me" :o
ok u made a joke and i'm dumb
Thank you for this masterpiece.
Er wordt ook tegenwoordig nog echt heerlijke muziek gemaakt.
Ongelooflijk mooi.
Wie nog zulke schoonheid zoekt:
- Margaux - picture it
- arctic monkeys - tranquiliti base..
- absynthe minded - my heroics
Et voilà, elle s’en va après s’être battu…
Quelle magnifique chanson.
die lyrics 💜 wat kan.muziek.toch zo.ontzettend mooi zijn.... 💜
enough said, the make-shift
is a comfortable chair
sit back and i'll tell you
we're living in fear
and i don't know
why you talk so rough
why should i be
not sure of my-
self my intentions
they are cristal clear
i wanna pay my duty
to your daddy dear
hold on to your decency
i'll make you whole
and we'll be free
isn't it always so?
the story is unfold, at least
you got a different role
and now you gotta quit
the scene
I favour your flavour
I'm confronting you
you stroke a bad patch
with the man who has you
and baby won't you
consider me
I'll make you whole
and we'll be free
and we're driving alone
on a saturday night
we're feeling alright
everything's in sight
and baby won't you
consider me
I'll make you whole
and we'll be free
isn't it always so?
the story is unfold, at least
you got a different role
and now you gotta quit
the scene
isn't it always so?
the story is unfold, at least
you got a different role
and now you gotta quit
the scene
isn't it always so?
the story is unfold, at least
you got a different role
and now you gotta quit
the scene
isn't it always so?
the story is unfold, at least
you got a different role
and now you gotta quit

waanzinnig nummer ! maakt niet uit hoe vaak ik 'm hoor!!
Dit is zoooo confituuuur, verdomme!!! LOVE IT!
Kan et zelf niet beter verwoorden
Viva AM!
Zelfs gelei!
Wat bedoel je met "zo confituur", klinkt in mijn oren net zoals "is zo hagelslag"?????
Gonna show this song to a loved one someday
Da blijft toch gewoon bangelijk goed he!
Miss my brother ty for showing my this cool guys😣❤️
This song reminds me of her.
We were both laying on her bed, showing eachother some songs and then she put this on, we were both silent and listening tho this song...
it hurts :/
the singer is such a babe
Ik dacht altijd dat het een wereldhit was. Wat een pracht schijf.

Danke

Music video by Absynthe Minded performing My Heroics, Part One. (C) 2008.... it's a song from 2005. I remember it well
2020 and still no part two...
офигеть как круто придумали все
super!!!!!!!!!
Heel goed nummer x
Se garante, amei.
She's so great! Pure silk, may I ask who was filming this?
Dit is echt goed!
Wat een prachtig lied
et c'est du belge! ;)
Wauw Nice
❤️❤️
Alguém 2019 nessa porra?
Didn't realise Nacho Monreal was in a band
muy bueno...
Ik ben teleurgesteld dat dit van Spotify is gehaald. Waarom? Kan het weer terug? 😅
Muziek kan zo intens mooi zijn...
Waar blijft Heroics, Part Two?
lol
nergens. hun talent is op
blijkbaar niet, ze zijn terug!
first time hearing this i thought it was a new single of the gorillaz or maybe even blur, voice and the music is kinda their league
great song
joe verheugt yeh same
Geniaal
❤
❤️🔥
Y a pas a chier, en Belgique, ils ont quand même une sacré fibre pour la musique xD.
Goed nr zeg vanaf de start. In Vlaanderen nemen mensen muziek veel serieuzer, dan in het Smaakje van de Dag-nederland zeg maar
geniaal
idd
Does any one knows other songs with a similar vibe?
I listened to their other stuff, but don't like it as much. I dont think it is as powerful as this one.
sister dew from dEUS, or try Ozark Henri, sweet instigator and resque..

meltje4521 OH yeah the studio Brussel version of delay is sublime!

Mintzkov also fits in the row above. I like 'Cargo'
Please share!
Who is that girl ? 🥰
Delfine Bafort, de ex van Gabriel Rios
Is’nt it always so?
Opatuur!
🤲
What kind of music is this?
who is the women? I need a name.
Well there are a few contenders here , my choice goes to An, the jogging girl swimming with the ducks.
@@freddystaelens nvm i found her
why?
because we can
