i don’t know why this channel ended. if it was because people weren’t watching, i’d like to say that people were flat wrong. it’s such a beautiful addition to the blogotheque style of music videos. thoughtfully shot, the intros are so beautifully, authentically human, and the music curated with such a focus on artistry. whoever you are who shot these, i hope you’re doing very well, and making even more beautiful stuff that makes you and others happy. and if not, i hope you keep making these videos. it was working.
Was a passion project I made in my spare time. Many other channels started doing the same, but as a business model (Mahogany etc). There comes a point where volume devalues what's unique and money devalues the intent. I didn't want to be a part of that. As a creative experiment, I'm humbled by the audiences and artists who appreciate it.
@@watchlistentell this is by far one of my favorite videos on the Internet, so I can definitely say I'm happy you captured this moment to share with all of us. Much thanks 🤙🏼
I also think that the artists got something out of this too. It is a change from playing in front of thousands on a stage. They look more relaxed and I can feel they played from the heart. Playing in a public park and jamming out will always bring a uplifting feeling. As a viewer it is something special. Thanks WTL!
2023 and this recording will always have a special place in my heart. It’s bringing back so many memories of a different period in my life whilst staying totally timeless.
watchlistentell was one of the best. All these years later, I can see why you stopped! "There comes a point where volume devalues what's unique and money devalues the intent" - truer words never typed mate.
I remember myself finding this video when it had 100 views, and now I come back to watch the video- and it has over a million. And it's 6 years I'm listening to this song. strange
This is, simply, a perfect song, and Bombay Bycicle Club are one of the best bands (if not THE best) on this planet. I hope they'll get the recognition they deserve.
I hate how most people only like songs because they're in the charts, or because they're recent. It's gotten to the point where the songs in the charts all sound the same. But because they're new, people automatically like them. It makes me sad to see what music has turned into. This is what a good song sounds like. Not auto-tuned, no stupid video, just proper music and real singing. Some people have forgotten what that is.
Young Karl More an acknowledgement of how hilariously shy and awkward they are but it kind of just adds to the greatness of the video. Still, Bombay Bicycle Club =
This is still hands-down my favourite Watchlistentell. Although Absynthe Minded's "Envoi" and TDCC's "Something Good Can Work" are close seconds. But this is just...beautiful. So beautiful.
This band have such a natural tone to their sound, its hard to find musicians like this these days. I really hope they go far as they are seriously underrated
Watch listen tell! You were such an inspiration to me growing up. I dreamt of making a band and finding you to film us in moments like this. I miss your videos, please come back! I come back to all your videos when I’m feeling down they make me feel great! Been a follower since 2012
These guys really can hold thier heads high in the "inde" world of the modern age. They have really given something special and remarkable that has been unseen from previous bands of similar genre. The music can manage itself in almost any tempo, and volume, managing to keep the bruitaly georgeous lyrics with some astonishing instrumental flares. These guy's are far too kind to us! I feel like saying "really bombay bicycle club, you shouldn't have!". My greatest respect to you 4 boys.
I absolutely have my favorite acoustic performances, But can not help over seven years keep listening to this. Amazing sound so perfectly orchestrated!
Another quality video, big respect to what you guys are doing, and to Bombay Bicycle Club. thank you for bringing beautiful music and videos like this to the world! Pure Bliss.
This is the video I play at this time of year where it's cold and wet, to remind me that Spring is coming soon. It's coming. I cannot wait for those hazy sunshine days...
Anyone notice how Jack blinks his eyes at the beginning of this video he's so adorable OMG and the fact that he's such an awesome musician just adds to the reason I love him!!!
Bombay Bicycle Club can basically pull off any one of their studio recorded songs just as stunningly in acoustic form, it's refeshing to find such a raw and honest band.
You guys are my IDOLS!! top 3 fav bands 1. The beatles 2. BBC! 3. never shout never Yeah. You guys are on the same list as the beatles. Sixteen is my boyfriend and i's song. We were sharing earbuds, listening to it when we had our first kiss. Just thought you guys should know :D
For the longest time I thought he was saying "cemetery tower"....now that I know it's "sanitary towel", I understand their previously confusing gigglyness. God love 'em. :)
I'm a yank so I don't know if this is the right thing to say, but: Bloody amazing!!!! haha...I love bands/musicians that can switch it up and be creative with their sound and instruments!!

@@Cloudlylofi They certainly seemed to nail it.
Jack Steadman is one of the greatest musicians of our time. Music straight from the heart.
Stop making fake accounts, Jack
2023 and this recording will always have a special place in my heart. It’s bringing back so many memories of a different period in my life whilst staying totally timeless.
Still coming back to this channel 🥹 so much memories
Same 🥹❤️
this was the soundtrack of the first love of my life
This song gets me through the dark times when I can't sleep and helps me relax and slip away

Pressure from Sub/followers/views/likes also warps intent. Less felt like more.
Hello. I first listened to this song a lot back in 2013. You looked like newbies and I was young. Time flies and I'm in my 30s now. Sigh.
I remember myself finding this video when it had 100 views, and now I come back to watch the video- and it has over a million.
And it's 6 years I'm listening to this song. strange
Are you still listening to it?
Basti Halligalli yes, indeed I am..
I also keep coming back, one of my favorite performances ever and i've probably seen it 50 times. Never will i forget it.
So it’s 10 years now. Still coming back.
@@dylanaspine :)
In my opinion, this is a lot better than the studio-recorded version. This just captures the place and the moment. Perfect, spot on, amazing!
2020. Still got me comin back🖤
This is definitely the best version of this song! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love that acoustic version!
This is, simply, a perfect song, and Bombay Bycicle Club are one of the best bands (if not THE best) on this planet. I hope they'll get the recognition they deserve.
brilliant song, "Well I met you right, but I kept you wrong..." really feel those lyrics...
This channel holds a special place in my heart ❤️
I feel the same way ❤

He's the reason i play the guitar :) thx Jack!
they look like such babies! love them all for how far they've come and the journeys they've been on
At the beginning everyone looks so childish laughing with such innocence. :D
Love BBC.
won a competition to see these beautiful boys on sunday wahhh so excited :D
Props on a great performance, especially knowing how hard playing is without a strap, having to wedge the guitar there with your arm
Been listening ever since it came out! 10 years.. insane!!!!
As a heterosexual male I can safely say that Jack Steadman is the most adorable human being on the planet. And an excellent songwriter and musician.

Such a great song
It's raining outside and I can't think of anything in the world to listen to better than this right now
Always go back to this. It's so beautiful
This band have such a natural tone to their sound, its hard to find musicians like this these days. I really hope they go far as they are seriously underrated
:) Indeed they did.
I think it's safe to say they did.
@@stephenbeard4747 yep! Seen them many times since and they just get better and better 👌

Listened to this song when there was 50k views and I still listen to it everyday. Great tune.
Glad i'm up late tonight, I stumbled upon "WLT". Love you Brits and all your great songwriting.
This will always be my favorite song, I miss them
Discovered these guys here. Still love them 10yrs later. Thank you WLT.
Modest, nice and very talented boys that's why I love them.They're just sitting on the grass and playing their music. Beautiful.
How was this 13 years ago... My god time starts to fly as you get older.
Hey, I know you 😂
@ what are the odds!!
Totally awesome. Love it
I can’t believe this is from 12 years ago. Such a beautiful song
I seriously can't understand how people can dislike this. Words can't describe how beautiful this is.
Another quality video, big respect to what you guys are doing, and to Bombay Bicycle Club.
thank you for bringing beautiful music and videos like this to the world!
Pure Bliss.
This is what music should sound like, this is what keeps the spirit of the 60's and 70's legends alive.
Years and years later, im still coming back
Im so in love with these boys. Im so in love with this song. Bravo boys, bravo. Bring back the music.
they are looking like a hand full of schoolboys after school making some music. Still love this so so much! Thank you
He is so adorable in the beginning.
This is the video I play at this time of year where it's cold and wet, to remind me that Spring is coming soon. It's coming.
I cannot wait for those hazy sunshine days...
this song captures the british summer. just simply amazing. thank you to watch listen tell by far the best channel on youtube
This version is so much better than the one on the cd!!! Beautiful work guys! And the camerawork...I love it! Thank you
Thank you for helping me find BBC back in '09!
Sad to hear this has come to an end. The way you captured their (the artists) essence will be missed.
i love the bassist's surprised little grin when jack mentions the sanitary towel at the start
Their love is so genuine. I just can't find a better word.
Anyone notice how Jack blinks his eyes at the beginning of this video he's so adorable OMG and the fact that he's such an awesome musician just adds to the reason I love him!!!
these guys are the band of the generation.
they're terribly underrated.
and i love it.
Bombay Bicycle Club can basically pull off any one of their studio recorded songs just as stunningly in acoustic form, it's refeshing to find such a raw and honest band.
You guys are my IDOLS!! top 3 fav bands
1. The beatles
2. BBC!
3. never shout never
Yeah. You guys are on the same list as the beatles. Sixteen is my boyfriend and i's song. We were sharing earbuds, listening to it when we had our first kiss. Just thought you guys should know :D
One of my favorite song of all time !
Beautifully composed! That chorus is so powerful and captivating, you instantly feel the emotion they convey through the melody.
Bombay bicycle club are beautiful. I love every one of their songs, and his singing voice is unusually wonderful.
I will always love this song and WLT for all the beautiful music I found here
what amazing quality and beautiful sound, now i can't wait to see their live acoustic session in Norwich!!
This is probably my favourite song in the world, and Ed's little smirk at the beginning just melts my heart.. :')
what a beautiful version of a beautiful song
Years later, i still come back to listen to this version of the song over the original
For the longest time I thought he was saying "cemetery tower"....now that I know it's "sanitary towel", I understand their previously confusing gigglyness.
God love 'em. :)
I'm a yank so I don't know if this is the right thing to say, but: Bloody amazing!!!! haha...I love bands/musicians that can switch it up and be creative with their sound and instruments!!
Spiritual lyrics man . My mate slatts introduced me to this band
His voice gives me actual goosebumps. Gorgeous
2019. Still listening.
2020
2021
Going to see them live next sunday in Amsterdam!! This video makes me so excited, can't wait.
such a good song. The depth of field on that camera is stunnnnning.
Beautiful :D Thanks again go to Sound of Harris for linking me here!
Made me cry, can't stop watching it.
arghhhh you know when it's annoying to love something so much, that's what i feel for this band.
Thank you.
how u guys gel in with the melody is beautiful....!
the video and audio both are really nice. and this is a beautiful acoustic song
It's really in accordance with the time. Beautiful lyrics, to whomever wrote this piece.
this is beautifully filmed, and beautifully performed. just beautiful, as always.
When I watch this I feel like I'm there, standing next to him. Watch Listen Tell is truly magical.
That silly grin...crazy how happy authentic music like this makes me
god his voice makes me...shiver? actually shiver doesnt justify it enough. i cant explain it but his voice just does things to me.
Fuck man nearly 7 years. Still awesome.
ابو ق
10 now
I love his body language and his facial expressions. He is totally caught up in the song.
I feel a lot of energy while I am listening to this...
...that's something amazing...
Sweet voice, mandoline, djembe and guitar skills everyone!
when they started to grin in the beginning, my heart melted away
I love how they're all trying to keep a straight face and avoid laughing in the introduction.
This guy is a genius hiding in plain sight.
I love this version....much better than the CD one! ;)
Roland Nikrandt exactly my thoughts on the video!
The Album one is really good too. Probably the best song in the album.
Jack Steadman is quite possibly the cutest guy ever. I saw them last year at Glastonbury and he just grinned the whole way through their set.
I am a big fan of the camera art of watchlistentell!!
It's 2020 and I keep coming back to this :)
Finally one of my bucket list, they will come to Indonesia. Hope they will play this version of Dust on the ground.
the most important video on youtube for me
i love the whole groove he's got going when he plays, its awesome!
Love that awkward little thing Jack does at the end! :D so funny. LOVE THIS BAND!
you guys are such a cute band :) first thing i thought of when i listened to them for the first time
Jack " standing next to a sanitary towel"
Suren says to himself *dont laugh suren, your better than Jamie!*
'and we're standing nex to... a sanitary towel'
MADE. MY. DAY
