Still the song of the decade for me. Almost ten years later, this still encapsulates all the emotions and desires of this time well. Birds of Tokyo are also one of the best true rock bands of the decade. The Aussie music scene killed it during the 2010's!
I heard this song for the first time whilst driving home after a terrible day at work, and I was lost for breath.. All I could think of was how beautiful the song was, how unimportant my crappy day was, and how this song will be touching the broken hearts of people with bigger worries than my own.. Brilliant!
Tu ais raison, mon ami: I'm from Sweden, and I'd love to have these guys (and the rest crazies of Karnivool) around my coffee table. Mi casa es su casa. Anytime, boys (Scandinavian girls are almost as the ones at Bondi, hachh). Be my guest. If 12 Ft Ninja happen to knock knock - force them into the same flight! Nough said. Cheers from Gothenburg!
This song is reeeeeeeeeally special to me... it was released on my birthday, and it used to be *our song* with my first love... I've spent my happiest and crappiest moments listening to it. Love B of T, keep on guys!! :)
"We made plans to kiss the sun at night Hopeless dreamers, hopeless times Shedding skin you show your beauty scars Don't forget me or who you are You know this don't feel right Who knows what we feel? I just met you I can read your thoughts What they tell me is what I want I'll keep you guessing keep you wanting more 'Cos where we're going no one knows You know this don't feel right Who knows this could feel right I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts So don't forget me or what you want Light up the stage, make your move, give me something So I can dance in your light and to your rhythm Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars Tear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing We made plans to kiss the sun at night Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types One was turning, one was standing still I won't forget what was promised here You know this don't feel right Who knows what we feel?"
I wish I was. You Aussies (and the Kiwi's, mind) know how to stand your ground. Here in 'snowflake Sweden there's a sure and sad slippery slope down to Hades thanks to our so called politicians. Keep it up, mates! Never forgive, never surrender. Cheers from Gothenburg!
3:07 "i wont forget what was promised here" imagine the first explorers returning to their home countries to report what was found in the new world, imagine their ships sailing off and the explorers just looking back at what was found, high mountains, thick jungle, beautiful nature, and just saying to themselves "I hope I can return here again".
Some of Australia's best bands come from Perth and W.A. in general. Birds of Tokyo are not one of them.!!!! Words to describe Birds of Tokyo are extremely derogatory and expletive.
listening to this again in January 2016 and i'm just reflecting on the years that have been. this song was my intro to birds of tokyo. but the person who first played it for me was my older sister's ex who she was with since high school. so i struggle to listen to it now a bit.
light up the stage make your move give me something so i can dance in your light and to your rhythm,. Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars, tear of the mask the face you hide is what Im missing .... GOLD!
This just reminds me off Australia so much, Sydney Nov 2010 with two of my oldest and best friends who I sadly don't see enough of these days. But this record will always make me think of the pair of them.
Ah another great example of awesome music out of Australia. I'm from the UK and I really love these guys, Dead Letter Circus and Karnivool especially. Loved Mammal too before they split up
The first time I've heard this song again after a decade was when I was shopping at Woolies while the media was talking about that asteroid hurtling towards Earth. I honestly believed that the universe was talking to me about when I die. It doesn't want me to forget who I am or what I want.
Such an ever evolving sound on two musical platforms Birds and Karnivool I'm so glad that I have the opportunity to hear such fine music... lookiing forward to the album.
What a band! This is where my poetry takes me............ I need curly hair and a rock band. We made plans with lanterns on.................................

amen
Right on brother
Good song, but you definitely need to expand your horizons.
@@GregoryCunningham who are you to tell someone how to feel or relate to music? Do you and let others do for themselves without judgement.
@@yeah_shars Nothing wrong with expanding your knowledge. You might try it.

Im from the States and spent 3 weeks in Australia last year. Highlight of my trip was going to their concert in Sydney. Amazing band, love this song.
Wow only 2 million views after all these years smh criminally underrated
All of our Australian songs are underrated by the world, to be honest.

Sad but true.
How is this song not more popular? Its pure gold!
I agree and why isn't Amy Shark more popular here in North America
This song never gets old.
So happy that people still listen to this song, I'm Australian and grew up with this lol

"We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless times
Shedding skin you show your beauty scars
Don't forget me or who you are
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?
I just met you I can read your thoughts
What they tell me is what I want
I'll keep you guessing keep you wanting more
'Cos where we're going no one knows
You know this don't feel right
Who knows this could feel right
I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts
So don't forget me or what you want
Light up the stage, make your move, give me something
So I can dance in your light and to your rhythm
Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars
Tear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing
We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
One was turning, one was standing still
I won't forget what was promised here
You know this don't feel right

shit lyrics. Kiss the sun at night? wtf. lame and shit
