Why are people hating on people that found them by their mainstream songs? Surely you should be happy that people have found the same band that you like. It makes no sense that you dislike people that like the same stuff that you do. Stop hating on people and just enjoy the music.
I discovered them because Pompeii hit majotlr success... and since then I've delved into there music so deeply that they are my top bad.... I just saw them play this song live last night... it was pure amazing! and when I see them in videos like this being practically nobody's... it makes me love them more
The way Dan's face scrunches up when he hits those certain notes is both adorable and something to compliment on. He and the others look like their having a hell of a time. It's one of the things I love about acoustic performances.
It's a shame that most people only listen to the most popular songs like Pompeii, Flaws, Bad Blood and Things We Lost In The Fire. They're missing out on some of Bastille's greatest songs like this, Poet, These Steeets, Laughter Lines, Skulls and The Silence ❤️
Yeah me too, there's a lot more emotion behind these songs but have to admit I do love Bad Blood though. But Pompeii, I don't hate it but I think it's my least favourite of their songs.
okay i never comment on RUclips ever but i just love this band so much bc they literally only have a guitar and their voices and their bodies and they still make magic like this. blows my mind @ the chorus oh my goodnesssss
I've always loved icarus but it now has a new meaning to me, when I was at their gig I made eye-contact with Will several times and when the song ended he blew a kiss at me, it was the best night of my life
Look who's digging their own grave That is what they all say You'll drink yourself to death Look who makes their own bed Lies right down within it And what will you have left? Out on the front doorstep Drinking from a paper cup You won't remember this Living beyond your years Acting out all their fears You feel it in your chest [Pre-Chrous] Your hands protect the flames From the wild winds around you [Chorus 1] Icarus is flying too close to the sun And Icarus' life, it has only just begun It's just begun [Verse 2] Standing on the cliff face Highest fall you'll ever grace It scares me half to death Look out to the future But it tells you nothing So take another breath [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus 2] Icarus is flying too close to the sun And Icarus's life, it has only just begun This is how it feels to take a fall Icarus is flying towards an early grave [Bridge] You put up your defenses when you leave You leave because you're certain Of who you want to be You're putting up your armor when you leave You leave because you're certain Of who you want to be [Chorus 2]
coming back this is so nostalgic, i used to watch it all the time when i was 10 or so. my wifi sucked so it would buffer all the time, but i was persistent bc i loved the song so much!
I am still having difficulties understanding how a human can have a beautiful voice like that... Therefore, Dan isn't human. He has got to be like a god or something.
I saw them last weekend in Birmingham and met them after the gig....you will not be disappointed. They are excellent live and a really nice bunch of blokes. Enjoy the gig
i saw them yesterday night live: their performance is so strong! and Dan really tries to be as close to his audience as possible :D and when they played this song i was on cloud 9!!!
I was studying in my college library when I randomly clicked this, now I can't stop listening and I'm going to see them live in April :D best click ever made!
OMGGGG where to begin. This vid is perfection in every sense the song the scene selection thr voice overs, gosh you know how to hit a shipper right in thr feels. I love it and I miss them so much. Season 2 can't come soon enough. You are amazing thanks for sharing.

Bastille is one of the bands who sound as good live as they sound on their album.
In my opinion, they actually sound better live
ruclips.net/video/ZKWpybsQpXw/видео.html
This is funny
It's because they are so natural. They don't pretend they're something they're not. They are just themselves.
Bastille-teaching us Greek/Roman mythology since 2011
Greco-Roman / Hellenistic
Im Morgan freeman and i approve this band.
very wise, sir freeman
O
F
I
damn, the commitment
They're so down to earth, that's why I love this band. I mean, how many bands nowadays do you see doing this kind of stuff?
Not many
Fancy Elk they may be down to earth but im always in heaven when im listening bastille
+Jilke Schokker smooth

+paulcod163 Finally, someone said it!
true I agree
Probably his hair
It's the crazy (only the crazy ones) hipsters doing that, most of us feel glad that a band has achieved mainstream success
I discovered them because Pompeii hit majotlr success... and since then I've delved into there music so deeply that they are my top bad....

Bastille is superb, but daaaang, Dan Smith is incredibly captivating and has extraordinary talent.
The way Dan's face scrunches up when he hits those certain notes is both adorable and something to compliment on. He and the others look like their having a hell of a time. It's one of the things I love about acoustic performances.

I personally prefer Poet, These Steeets, Laughter Lines, Skulls and The Silence. I find them more haunting than the more popular songs.
Yeah me too, there's a lot more emotion behind these songs but have to admit I do love Bad Blood though. But Pompeii, I don't hate it but I think it's my least favourite of their songs.
pompeii is really good but I feel its overshadowing the other songs... I think all this bad blood pt 2 has the better songs
Icarus is actually by far my favourite Bastille song followed by the weight of living
***** Icarus is an amazing song :)
okay i never comment on RUclips ever but i just love this band so much bc they literally only have a guitar and their voices and their bodies and they still make magic like this. blows my mind @ the chorus oh my goodnesssss
I've always loved icarus but it now has a new meaning to me, when I was at their gig I made eye-contact with Will several times and when the song ended he blew a kiss at me, it was the best night of my life
Dude I had a similar experience but he just nodded at me and waved!!!!!!! Hahha that’s awesome!!!
Look who's digging their own grave
That is what they all say
You'll drink yourself to death
Look who makes their own bed
Lies right down within it
And what will you have left?
Out on the front doorstep
Drinking from a paper cup
You won't remember this
Living beyond your years
Acting out all their fears
You feel it in your chest
[Pre-Chrous]
Your hands protect the flames
From the wild winds around you
[Chorus 1]
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus' life, it has only just begun
It's just begun
[Verse 2]
Standing on the cliff face
Highest fall you'll ever grace
It scares me half to death
Look out to the future
But it tells you nothing
So take another breath
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus 2]
Icarus is flying too close to the sun
And Icarus's life, it has only just begun
This is how it feels to take a fall
Icarus is flying towards an early grave
[Bridge]
You put up your defenses when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be
You're putting up your armor when you leave
You leave because you're certain
Of who you want to be
[Chorus 2]
Thank you!That's very helpful!somehow this song does not really have any lyrics videos!
it's ok
lovin the green socks
Lol Ikr? Love the song but couldn't stop staring at those socks
Poor Icarus. Has anyone here heard his story?
With Daedelus? It's so sad.
This video was awesome, I love Bastile!
Bastille is love Bastille is life
Yeeeess😻😻😻❤❤❤ #stormer4life∆❤
+Amaya Munoz :V yes :V
No. Bastille Islam.
joji4813 what
coming back this is so nostalgic, i used to watch it all the time when i was 10 or so. my wifi sucked so it would buffer all the time, but i was persistent bc i loved the song so much!
:)
....he's literally hitting his lap and sounds better than most drummers with a full kit 😲
Timothy Drake x Coffee Not true at all, but okay.
lmao what you smoking
Gokul Krishnan I think the comment is meant to be a parody of obsessive fan girl
I am still having difficulties understanding how a human can have a beautiful voice like that... Therefore, Dan isn't human. He has got to be like a god or something.
Or an Icarus? ;)
If he was an icarus, he'd probably be dead already
Possibly.....
SD Kredich If Icarus did survive his fall, he'd be a wiser, stronger person for the mistake that he made. So maybe Dan is the spirit of Icarus.
Joseph Poole - brain explodes -
So long since I’ve seen this amazing band
I’m crying rn bc this is my most favorite song from Bastille and I love them with all of my heart🙌🏼
Love how they all join in at the chorus. They're such an amazing band.
Do anyone realise this Band makes hits effortlessly? Lyrics mind bothering, poetry leaves u dumbfounded, grace and pitch. WOW
No human can sing this beautifully, videos like this lead me to believe Dan isn't human
this band just doesn't need auto tune, dan is up there with talent
i am so much touched by their voices and acoustic sounds effects. beautifully harmonized
Bastille is a great band, their songs are so profound it's amazing!
How can this be so good!?
This an awesome song ;) My personal fav. by them is "Flaws"
Flaws especially acoustic/"live" is amazing!!!
I like how some of their songs are about myths or historical events.
They are called "Bastille" 0_o ...
Bastille is the only band I feel that deserves the hype it gets. All of their songs are meaningful
I am so impressed with the consistency of his voice and the authenticity of the music. Love love love this band.
Yep, that's exactly how I play along to this song, thumping the beat out on whatever is closest, usually myself.
I saw them last weekend in Birmingham and met them after the gig....you will not be disappointed. They are excellent live and a really nice bunch of blokes. Enjoy the gig
i saw them yesterday night live: their performance is so strong! and Dan really tries to be as close to his audience as possible :D and when they played this song i was on cloud 9!!!
And this, ladies and gentlemans.. :) is music!
I LOVE this. I love how they're doing all the percussion on their legs and the surrounding furniture. Awesome lyrics, awesome harmony, awesome song!
i've missed listening to these guys i used to be so obsessed omg idk what happened
+rumbi ew You better get rehooked...worthy band
+rumbi ew same
i love how you are amazing without "professional" equipment that many people have nowadays. keep making these beautiful covers!! :)
I sound really stupid, but can you explain to me?
+Janice Ji it's their own original song called icarus and bastille is the band. this is just an acoustic version.
+Janice Ji hope this explanation helped.
+Kate Young Thx it did :)
Good c:
I CANT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS OMFG GOT IT ON REPLAY ALL NIGHT UGHHHHH I LOVE YOU
They are the bests ♥♥ Dan's voice is the best !!
Amazing
Dan Smith's voice is already such perfection but with the harmonies of everyone else... shivers.
Bastille is my biggest found of years. Totally in LOVE!
I've slowly fell in love with this band.
I wish they'd come to Florida
I love watching this because it shows how far they've come..they started out small and now they're nominated for a grammy.
I love his voice!! I love how he doesn't loose his accent when he sings!
Why does Dan remind me of a yawning cat at 1:18?
Yay!!!
that's all I see when I look at him in this
I wasn't the only one!
you just made me yawn
creative name you also made me yawn because you used the word yawn so i needed to yawn
Best BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
yea! :D
Forever my favorite song by Bastille💛
Dan's voice is so powerful and good. They're so amazing.
Through such acoustic versions,you can see that bastille is easy one of the best livebands. i
oh my god how has it been 5 years
Their live performances are amazing; I love how they get so into the songs when they perform.
I can't believe this video is 3 yrs old already
Wedgeman Irfan STOPP THATS CRUEL

emma semple It's a sad story you don't have emotions
gas chamber fixer you can also like a sad story...it teaches a lesson that don't be so overconfident and listen to your father..!!!
This is astonishing. Great, great talent.
So talented. I love this song!
This is beautiful. It shows that they don't need much to make good music. I don't understand why Bastille isn't more popular.
I seriously love this with my whole life!
Oh my god, I love Bastille so much, this has always been my fave song by them.
amazing band!!!!!!!!
That guy is such a brilliant singer. Such an acoustic voice, I'm loving it.
I love these songs because they use more harmony in it and it makes the song so much better.
This is perfect. I love dans voice! And their background vocals are fantastic!
They do right now, they've been on many concerts and festivals! They're so great! love all the songs :)
