This band has changed my life. They were a safe heaven that I could seek refuge in whenever shit became too much to handle in the real world. I'd just put on my headphones and I felt seen, like someone understood the burden I carry, the weight of my thoughts. I feel safe when listening to the airborne toxic event. And on the off chance they see this, PLEASE COME TO MIAMI ITS ON MY BUCKET LIST TO SEE U LIVE! Please
I love this song so much. Reminds me of my husband and the relationship we had. He passed away in June and this song live made me cry but in a wonderful way. Never heard a band put more emotion in their music.
How are you… doing these days… I am on almost 18 years without mine… it never gets easier. Never. I’m not sure if you still look at your notifications, but if you happen to have them on… I send you love and he’s probably standing right by your side and you simply keep moving not knowing he is there.
Such an amazing song... all of their songs have so much meaning to me....I hear them and I'm instantly transported to a moment in my life, an emotion, a love, a memory that has forever changed the fabric of my soul.....thank you!
A devastatingly beautiful song. These bombastic videos are amazing, especially that they are live performances. This one is my favorite of them all. Wow. Just wow.
This is so beautiful. The cinematography is amazing in this and Mikel's honesty in his voice and his facial expressions makes it all seem much more real. This is why I love this band!
The way that whenever he isn't singing he can't help but smile and turn back at the other band members amazed at what they are doing. This video concept of being a carousel is so good!!
they always have a song that fits perfectly every weird situation i get into... simply awesome, brilliant, there are not enough words to describe their work, im just speechless and just wanna say thank you for making me shiver with every song
Phenomenal chemistry as a band. They feed off of each other's energy. Anna is impeccable on the viola/violin. Full of emotion yet never out of control.
These just keep getting better, and better, and better - how do you manage to keep improving on perfection? I love the carousel and what the Calder Quartet adds to the sound; their strings fit in and enhance the music so nicely. And just how small is that piano? Then there is the respect for Anna managing to avoid falling over backward, and Mikel's insanely charismatic smile and that look over his shoulder as if to say "what ARE you doing back there?" Brilliant, yet again!
These guys are the most down to earth and genuine musicians I've ever seen. I got to meet Mikel after a show in Denver. He couldn't have been nicer and more appreciative of all his fans.
Oh man i like this band so much. When i first heard sometime around midnight i liked it right away. Searching and listening to their other songs was such a musical experience! I love these guys! So original they are.
Mikel can't stop smiling because he knows he's singing a beautiful, heartfelt song, with a world-class String Quartet, on a freaking merry-go-round. I can't blame him!
Loved this in the movie Going The Distance with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. 1st time hearing it while watching the movie recently! I'm in a LDR , really hit home!
the music of this band is just everything you would expect from them and more.......sometimes the lyrics just explain so much im speechless .........i love how they just put all these instrouments together ...and make it sound incredible
Love his smile, he is so adorable. Also just noticed the reflection of the microphone in the top right mirror of the carousel. It's cool to know that this performance is live.
Absolutely amazing. The instruments alone gave me goosebumps, but the location of the video and the smile on the singer's face made it all come together so beautifully. Blew me away.
On the night that we met You said that you wanted Something more from me And it was all that I could do I remember your face, like a child The way that you blushed and The way that you smiled And now it's all that I can do And I wake up feeling new You're so much more than I ever knew So I think of all the years spent alone It's like you're searching for something To make you feel whole Like a half of something else Like you're half of something else Just a fraction of yourself Don't take it so hard, we did what we could There were no easy answers To be understood And it was all that we could do We're the only ones who knew Now all I think about is you The way that you screamed The way that you cried The way that you wipe your eyes And fall against my side The way that you told Told me I was wrong And the way that you'd sing When you'd hear a song And the way that you answered When you knew I was gone Now I know that I'm blind And that you're all I see And yeah I know it's not clever But I just want you with me I'm only half of something else
My understanding is that the videos in this "bombastic" series were recorded live/on set...with no practice...one take...just fire it up and go with it... If that's really true (?), they freaking nailed this one to the point that it's almost scary. Just awesome.
This is beautiful. Yes, my favorite band is playing on a merry-go-round. Ha. They have came so far from "Sometime Around Midnight". I can't wait for next Thursday! ATE IN CHICAGO!
I love them!!! Their music has impacted me so much, I just cannot stop listening to it! This has to be one of my favorites on their new album...its simply beautiful.
This in NY? Jane's Carousel? If so that is a ride that I was on many times as a young child. It was restored Idora Park in Youngstown Ohio. I think if I saw it I would break down in tears....so many great memories with that ride.
10 years later and this is still the best live music video ever done. Look at that face. He knows it too.
2024 and still glad this was my wedding song
This band has changed my life. They were a safe heaven that I could seek refuge in whenever shit became too much to handle in the real world.

And on the off chance they see this, PLEASE COME TO MIAMI ITS ON MY BUCKET LIST TO SEE U LIVE! Please
I have no words. Just the feeling of this deep melody.
This song hits hard...
How could the whole world not be in love with this man?
Literally thought I was straight until I watched TETA videos a little tipsy.
I sure as Hell am!!!!!
We are...
The greatest band that most people have never heard of. This is the most awesome
version of this song that I have ever heard!
in the words of a middle aged Aussie male (52yo), 2 ,now adult boys, divorced, moved on and happy: this band; just wow!! cant get enough.
One of the most underrated bands in my opinion! They have lots of amazing songs, especially this one. And beautiful lyrics too.
Poetic, musical, lyrical!
I love this song so much. Reminds me of my husband and the relationship we had. He passed away in June and this song live made me cry but in a wonderful way. Never heard a band put more emotion in their music.
I am sorry for your loss I hope you are doing better now
How are you… doing these days… I am on almost 18 years without mine… it never gets easier. Never. I’m not sure if you still look at your notifications, but if you happen to have them on… I send you love and he’s probably standing right by your side and you simply keep moving not knowing he is there.
It happened to me until I started to see how he gently reminds me… I am not alone. Love is eternal. Infinite.
Such an amazing song... all of their songs have so much meaning to me....I hear them and I'm instantly transported to a moment in my life, an emotion, a love, a memory that has forever changed the fabric of my soul.....thank you!
A devastatingly beautiful song. These bombastic videos are amazing, especially that they are live performances. This one is my favorite of them all. Wow. Just wow.
You don't know true happiness until you've heard this song live 😍❤
Musical genius + mathematical genius = sublimely sad song(s). These bandmates are true artists. Thank you.
true
Julie :
2020 and still here 😍
they are flawless.
I LOVE how he is smiling in the whole video :) You can tell he LOVES what he is doing.I love this song and I LOVE Airborne Toxic Event!
I would be puking my guts out on a carousel. True talent when you can play instruments, keep time, sing and do a great video on one.
Absolutely everything could be going wrong but all I have to do is watch this video to make it all better.
Couldnt have said it better
Absolutely everything could be going right, and all I have to do is listen to this song, and I am undone.
@@LeoStaley Bro could you... Stop? Are you okay? Why did you make me hate everything about this, after I loved everything about this?
@@jethrocotton1512 why? Is the other half of what you are gone now too?
One of the most under-rated bands of all time!!! Even better in concert. If you ever get a chance to see them live.....do it.
The way he looks straight at you while singing gives me shivers... What a beautiful song.
The brilliance and intelligence of this band is so under appreciated by the industry. Wake up!
This is so beautiful. The cinematography is amazing in this and Mikel's honesty in his voice and his facial expressions makes it all seem much more real. This is why I love this band!

I've never had an artist or group affect me to my very core as Mikel and Airborne has, Airborne is a true gift to the human race, Mikel is a genius
Phenomenal chemistry as a band. They feed off of each other's energy. Anna is impeccable on the viola/violin. Full of emotion yet never out of control.

Yes, his smile says it all. Loves. Simple but wonderful.
These guys are the most down to earth and genuine musicians I've ever seen. I got to meet Mikel after a show in Denver. He couldn't have been nicer and more appreciative of all his fans.
i cant help it everytime mikel smiles i smile and cant stop :)
It blows my mind that there is so much fantastic, extremely good music and not a lot of people know about the music. Beautifully written 👏🏼
Oh man i like this band so much. When i first heard sometime around midnight i liked it right away. Searching and listening to their other songs was such a musical experience! I love these guys! So original they are.
i love how he actually looks like he is having fun. He still has love for the music and his band. 2:00 to 2:20 just says it all
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
I love how after 1:56 he looks Anna up and down, turns and has such a genuine smile ❤
FUCKING YES, THIS
Did he marry her????
@@adelaide3409 No lol. He married someone else and had a baby. He keeps his life super private tho
they can still be that close....and not "with" eachother
my bff is female and I would go to the end of the earth for her
but I married "my "love"
He was enthralled by the way she played the violin and sat there.
A beautiful band on a carousel!! My two favourite thingsx
SOUL-CRUSHING how different 'Dope Machines' is listening to the first three records. For me one of the most heart-felt hooks EVER written...
They fired Noah... :(
He was so much more than "the bass player"
Mikel has one of the best smiles! I love it!
Mikel can't stop smiling because he knows he's singing a beautiful, heartfelt song, with a world-class String Quartet, on a freaking merry-go-round. I can't blame him!
Well this is a version I'd never heard... amazing.
How the hell has this only got 275,000 views it's awesome.
If I had heard this back in the day, I would have died in my glass of vodka. Glad I can sit down and enjoy with open arms. Love you guys. ❤
The way that you answered when you knew I was wrong
What a great band. Every song is really amazing and even if I didn't like them much at the time, they've all grown on me.
I feel like i've watched this a million times and can continue to watch it a million more!!!!!!
Every time I watch this I love it more ❤❤❤
I discovered this band in the mid 2020 and they literally saved my mental health during the pandemic. You are so special to me folks!!! Thank you
Just got to see them last night amazing show!
his smile is infectious
They don’t need a genre. Its simply the best Album of the Year!
That was absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! This is why I love music. When artists do something like this and completely restore my faith in it.
Loved this in the movie Going The Distance with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. 1st time hearing it while watching the movie recently! I'm in a LDR , really hit home!
saw them at Latitude Festival.... rock solid!!
That smile.
again...his is such genius....i mean THEY R ON A FREAKIN CAROUSEL!
They deserve more views and recognition...Some lame artists get 100 million views for nothing...This is actual music!!
Here to to represent this amazin band!
the music of this band is just everything you would expect from them and more.......sometimes the lyrics just explain so much im speechless .........i love how they just put all these instrouments together ...and make it sound incredible
Love his smile, he is so adorable. Also just noticed the reflection of the microphone in the top right mirror of the carousel. It's cool to know that this performance is live.
So stinkin cute that he's smiling the whole time! :)
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely amazing. The instruments alone gave me goosebumps, but the location of the video and the smile on the singer's face made it all come together so beautifully. Blew me away.
Perfect band is perfect.
airbourne toxic event mesmerizises me. What a voice!
On the night that we met
You said that you wanted
Something more from me
And it was all that I could do
I remember your face, like a child
The way that you blushed and
The way that you smiled
And now it's all that I can do
And I wake up feeling new
You're so much more than I ever knew
So I think of all the years spent alone
It's like you're searching for something
To make you feel whole
Like a half of something else
Like you're half of something else
Just a fraction of yourself
Don't take it so hard, we did what we could
There were no easy answers
To be understood
And it was all that we could do
We're the only ones who knew
Now all I think about is you
The way that you screamed
The way that you cried
The way that you wipe your eyes
And fall against my side
The way that you told
Told me I was wrong
And the way that you'd sing
When you'd hear a song
And the way that you answered
When you knew I was gone
Now I know that I'm blind
And that you're all I see
And yeah I know it's not clever
But I just want you with me
I'm only half of something else
I never knew *
Absolutely lovely.
NICE. These guys are my new heroes.
For some reason, this video made me feel pretty happy.
Steven's mini Piano is the coolest thing
I saw them last year. So awesome and simply amazing !
Incredible song
Thank you 'Going the Distance' you make me discover this kind of music♥
So good. My favorite Bombastic.
i love this song... most beautiful song ever written !!!!
His smile makes me smile :)
i adore this song, after so many times listening to it. CD is great. Mikel's cute :)
Beautiful.
It´s just perfect. The song, the music. And you´re all alright, the smile in his face makes us smile. :)
His face throughout the entire video, you can tell he loves music more than anything. Especially around 4:14
This song almost made me cry it's so beautiful
I wish I could like this a million times just 'cause you stuffed everyone onto a bloody Carousel! The song is so damn gorgeous too.
My understanding is that the videos in this "bombastic" series were recorded live/on set...with no practice...one take...just fire it up and go with it...
If that's really true (?), they freaking nailed this one to the point that it's almost scary.
Just awesome.
I'm so glad I stayed up to be able to see this video. I love this song.
Awesome song! Really cool music video
wow wow wow fantastic
Wonderful.
Amazing-thank you.
Beautiful music like this is hard to find
Fantastic!
This is beautiful. Yes, my favorite band is playing on a merry-go-round. Ha. They have came so far from "Sometime Around Midnight". I can't wait for next Thursday! ATE IN CHICAGO!
Cannot wait to see them live in 2 weeks!! My favorite band and what's better is my husband is taking me :)
So far, My favorite.
I love them!!! Their music has impacted me so much, I just cannot stop listening to it! This has to be one of my favorites on their new album...its simply beautiful.
I am in awe. Can't wait to see them live!
Awesome!
Listened to the album on the websites stream and the whole thing is amazing!!!!!
this is one of my favorite tracks to :)
This vid makes me happy. Such a beautiful song, and Mikel smiling like the cheshire cat; how could you not love this?
11 years later, and still true
A truly wonderfully beautiful song, love the video as well!
This in NY? Jane's Carousel? If so that is a ride that I was on many times as a young child. It was restored Idora Park in Youngstown Ohio. I think if I saw it I would break down in tears....so many great memories with that ride.
Wow...really liking this group :)
