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!
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!
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!
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!
"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?"
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!! :)
What a band! This is where my poetry takes me............ I need curly hair and a rock band. We made plans with lanterns on.................................
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".
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.
i found some great australian artist in my teenage years and this is one of them. I think that australian artist also makes good songs ya know! Big love from ur neighbour, Indonesia :)
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.
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.
I haven't been that interested in Auzzie music for a while due to the lack of. . . . . well talent, diversity, TALENT, Its all the same nonsense over again. But this song has hit me like real music should. Now i will make sure i will keep an open mind and ear so i wont miss these guys again. Very awesome way to represent AUS.
Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Karnivool and BoT are both so active right now! I swear, right as one band stops touring for a moment, he goes out with the other. Does he ever take time to catch his breath?! I certainly appreciate his hard work though. Absolutely love Vool and BoT.
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.

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.
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.

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.
So happy that people still listen to this song, I'm Australian and grew up with this lol
Proud to be from Perth!
Bombs away are from Perth as well?

+BassTechnologic Also, San Cisco's from Fremantle :)

This song never gets old.
I’m proud to be Australian

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

What a band! This is where my poetry takes me............ I need curly hair and a rock band. We made plans with lanterns on.................................
This band is incredible. Got to see them in Oz and in Austin during SXSW... Definitely one of my favorite bands.
One of my favourite songs from my childhood

This song makes me miss a very particular someone incredibly.... Love this song so much, have loved this band for years now! :) Them Aussies, man...
After I watched 'Good Lord' I went through the channel and noticed this old gem. It's been years since I've heard this song.
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.
Madison Ward still jamming out to it now
Great song from some great guys. Who would've thought a song in 6/8 timing would get so big?
@James R its big in straya at least
I'm a huge Karnivool fan. How did I not hear of this before?
This song is attached to so many memories for me. Bittersweet nostalgia is the WORST. 🥺
first time hearing was like, "vocals sounds like karnivool". yeahhhhhh!
the glass ball smashing the tv screen is one of the coolest things... i've... ever... seen...
I'm simply shocked.. People are so daft that they ain't watching this.. Beautiful music from this beautiful band.
This is like a scar, this song can never get off my mind!
Used to listen to this song every Saturday on my way to the beach.
I first heard this song the other night well morning driving home after a night shift and in my delirium of fatigue the song spoke to me!!!
👍 🙏🇰🇲🇧🇮🇦🇺🇦🇺🇧🇩🇦🇹🧚🏾
So glad I found this band. Glad I found Karnivool, otherwise I might have missed them. Totally love Ian's voice and song writing. Fan forever.
Thanks for all the good songs
Still a beautiful song.

yet another awesome display of how to write an awesome song by an awesome aussie band.
When i was little i thought he said "You know, fish don't feel right" and i thought it was the weirdest song. But growing up with it, it grew on me
An absolute masterpiece. Each of their songs are lyrical nirvana! They are awesome live too!
I like good music. That's what brought me here.
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.

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.
most amazing song ever.
its just one epic slow motion HD movie lol!!! its freaking EPIC!
They do this so brilliantly live, you must see them If you ever get a chance, a fantastic night, full of good vibes!! :-)
This brings back memories 😌😌😌😌😏
I'm here 2021. Look out for each other.
what a vocalist
This is pure awesomeness in musical form.
This song is definately the song that is getting their foot in the door... they are a great band
I haven't been that interested in Auzzie music for a while due to the lack of. . . . . well talent, diversity, TALENT, Its all the same nonsense over again.
But this song has hit me like real music should. Now i will make sure i will keep an open mind and ear so i wont miss these guys again.
Very awesome way to represent AUS.
Great song, film clip is amazing, that ball through the TV.... wow!

Honestly, I don't know how he does it. Karnivool and BoT are both so active right now! I swear, right as one band stops touring for a moment, he goes out with the other. Does he ever take time to catch his breath?! I certainly appreciate his hard work though. Absolutely love Vool and BoT.

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.
Don't know much about this band , but what I do know is that this song is awesome. Might have to dig into their back catalogue.
This is begging for an uplifting trance remix! Love this tune!
🤘💔💗💔💗💔💗💔💗💗🎧🤘
This band is so underated
This is SUPER beautiful.
the most amazing vocalist ive ever heard what a talent
