It’s a beautiful song, but with such a dark, sad meaning. I feel terrible fir those who didn’t make it in Pompeii...it truely was an event that won’t be forgotten.
This was one of my dad's favorite songs while I was growing up. I remember when it would come on the radio we would all jam out in the living room. The nostalgia is awesome, it's like being a kid again.
This is a really great song and the meaning to it is so sad but amazing. It's really great how he composed this song to commemorate the victims of Pompeii. Love that. ♥♥♥
Plus, I hate all these followers. Go be a shepherd not a sheep. Be yourself, not a follower, don’t let people control you. I am sorry for my swears, I am just trying to express this.
Eh eh oh eh oh shows how the ancient romans sang and how they spoke. But if you close your eyes chorus speaks about how the romans tried to escape and how their town and city changed over the years by the volcano The so called dormant volcano suddenly erupted and destroyed the town Great clouds refer to the black ashes that over took the people/romans that lived many died from the ashes and the music video shows how they tried to run but no matter what they did they got caught. it’s so sad ;( 😭🥺 so much happed in the past What happened to the city we loved?😭 We learned R.I.P to people who has lost ansestors
actually, what sounds like 'eh oh' to us, is actually 'oh no' and 'help' in latin. So they were pretty much out there yelling for help in this song. ;-;
I learn Latin since this year, and i don't know if this has anything to do with this, but 'eo' means "I go" I don't know if it also means something different, because I don't know many words in Latin😅🤗
Everyone commenting about either Pompeii or happy memories... But this song is also about being stuck in your life as a relic of the past, and escaping into happy memories that are the only happiness you have. Just sharing this creepy fact...😶
I feel like this is the point of view from someone who lived in Pompeii and comes home from some kind of trip only to find his whole city crumbling in ash and they’re just trying to make things work even after everyone they know is dead
Constantly winning here. I've been winning my whole life. The walls tumbling down a visualization of some trippy stuff that's flippin' amazing! Have a good one guys!!!!
This song starts playing whenever I start feeling down. My head immediately turns this song on and sirens start playing. Why? Depression. I evolved a depression alarm, everything that makes me feel even just sad triggers to response. No time to get depressed again
People in pompeii look in distraught as the volcano erupts and destroys the city and then they just randomly hear this song playing as their entire civilisation gets destroyed
When this song came out, I was in kindergarten and I always thought the song was called close your eyes. When I found out it was about Pompeii, I was so freaking shook that I called it what I did for so long.
This song makes me shiver here is why. I think in my past life I was a Roman that died in Pompeii. I have always been scared of natural disasters but mostly Volcanoes and I always get a shiver down my spine when people talk about Pompeii or Vesuvius. I am going to go to Italy with my family this year and we will visit Pompeii and Rome. I fear what I am going to see in Pompeii. Thanks old song for scaring me!
Lyrics: I was left to my own devices Many days fall away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we loveee Great cloud roll over the hills bringing darkness from aboveeeee -drum beats- But if you close your eyes...

I like this song. It makes me happy. Nobody will ever see this, but today I was sexually assaulted by 5 men. I was walking alone (I’m 12) and 4 men approached me and started grabbing me and touching me. One of them recorded it all. When I finally managed to break free and run, I saw a popular girl from school. She saw the whole thing and didn’t even smile at me. I thought she was my friend. I told my mum and she went to security. The security group asked me to show where it happened, and the men were stood there. They all stared as we walked past them. Now I have to go to the police because they recorded me, and sexually assaulted me. They all laughed as we left. I feel so so alone, and nobody understands. I just feel so empty and like the whole world doesn’t even matter anymore. It makes me think about how much my “friends” actually care about me. I don’t know who to talk to, because my mum told my whole family when I trusted her the most to keep it to herself. She broke my trust, and now I have nobody. I thought she would understand. The security guards don’t even have any cctv footage, because i didn’t have my phone and didnt know what time it happened, and the footage was really slow and broken today. I feel so sick, because people go around thinking they can use others as objects. I’ve lost my appetite and all emotions are just gone. I feel broken. I haven’t stopped crying for hours, and I feel really really sick and disgusted. I can’t eat, drink, or sleep. I can only cry. Please, if something similar has happened to someone who sees this, can you tell me how you felt better. I don’t want to go outside anymore, I just want to stay in my bed forever. Please.. I need help. I have nobody else to talk to.
Audios Subliminales Creados Con Amor thank you so much. Honestly I never thought people would see this, but I hope you have an amazing day! You’re so kind 😊
I am so sorry for you! I wish you all the best and it will be better, trust me. Maybe you can talk to a psychologist or someone like that, because it's pretty hard to go this way on your own. Keep strong! Sorry for my bad English. Greetings from Germany
I hope they had a karma for what they did to you your just an innocent girl they did not show you a single mercy at all hope you can talk to me at messenger and tell me what are the name of those 4 bastards
Who else just layed down closed their eyes and keep them closed for the entire song. I did it i failed i couple times so i did restart it a couple time but i finally did it.
It’s a beautiful song, but with such a dark, sad meaning. I feel terrible fir those who didn’t make it in Pompeii...it truely was an event that won’t be forgotten.
Petition to find the song from searching "hey hey oh hey oh" so another person doesnt have to struggle like I did
its actually the roman word for Oh oh, Eh eheu eheu
I actually searched up but if you close your eyes-
I searched Bastille.
I searched “If you close your eyes”
@@awesam7030 Eheu actually means 'Alas!'.
The nostalgia that this brings me🥺💜
When, when you my lord seen Pompeii erupt in flames or this glorious song?
What the fuck you are Jesus
Jesus!!!!! Am I going to heaven??
@Jcvalz ikr i’ve lost faith in you Gen z’s
Yeah. I might not be a christian, but I believe in heaven.

Actually were was no lava in Pompeii. It just rained rock and a wave/cloud of 300°C ash killed all the people and made cool statues out of them.

You must be real fun at parties hehe
@@pumpkinngutss YEAH!!
My Latin teacher made us listen to this song after reading the story about everybody dying in Pompeii. It was really sad
Can’t get enough of that harmonious chanting. ❤️
It’s what got me into the song
This is a really great song and the meaning to it is so sad but amazing. It's really great how he composed this song to commemorate the victims of Pompeii. Love that. ♥♥♥
Nathan Perez but the name of the song.... nvm I’m probably wrong.
Yeah it's more about trying to ignore a disaster in life, but also it's hinting to one of humanities greatest disasters.
This song is criminally underrated
I get that you're trying to say that it is a good song, but 614,868,612 views on the music video is not underrated...
Fr..
This song literally makes me cry, thinking about when i was a child 😥
This song just hits in so many different ways I can’t explain the vibe I’ve felt
1:15 beautiful

What happened to the city we loved?😭
We learned

These are the wrong lyrics ;-; it's actually grey clouds roll over the hill.

Just sharing this creepy fact...😶
that's why it's called pompeii, the city is a relic of the past
THIS IS ACTUALLY ON MY RECOMMENDED AND I AM SO APPRECIATIVE!! 😭🥰🥰🥰 THE NOSTALGIA.
COVID made me flash back and play these songs.
I feel like this is the point of view from someone who lived in Pompeii and comes home from some kind of trip only to find his whole city crumbling in ash and they’re just trying to make things work even after everyone they know is dead
Constantly winning here. I've been winning my whole life. The walls tumbling down a visualization of some trippy stuff that's flippin' amazing! Have a good one guys!!!!
The good old days when every song had its own unique sound
I HAVENT HEARD THIS IN SO LONG IT'S BEAUTIFUL
Such a great song
*^-^*
This song came on the PA in the student union on campus and people were looking around like "Dafuq?" but I'm like "I oughta Soundhound this shit"
If you are still listening to this song after 5 years you are and absolute legend! ❤💜❤
they had this song playing in the chow hall in basic training. Real mood booster. Really kept my spirits up.
This is what I call a real throwback this video is literally a flashback of when I had my old youtube account
this song brings so much nostalgia just rushing back to me
Song was a straight up V I B E then and now
This song starts playing whenever I start feeling down. My head immediately turns this song on and sirens start playing.
Why? Depression. I evolved a depression alarm, everything that makes me feel even just sad triggers to response. No time to get depressed again
BRING ME BACKKK TO THIS DAYSSS PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The meaning of this song is so amazing whenever we realiza
Right now I am struggling with feeling sick so this song helps me.
I love it 😍 because it’s my assembly song
The golden Trophy I’m doing it for my assembly
Lucky 😂, such a good song
Lucky, I'm only learning it in class ;-; we are studying the song, not singing, just answering questions about it ;-;
So I was kinda skimming through chorus and read “How am I gonna be an optometrist about this?”
Do you know what it means? If you don't I'll be glad to tell you! It means thinking positive.
Optimist
@@Robinpoxx
an optimist is a person who finds positivity in everything, very happy person
an optometrist is an eye doctor

I like this song 👏

I'm a metal head myself and I hate modern pop... but I will say this song is a gem and it nostalgic
this song was truly ahead of its time ):
Anyone here in 2021 just vibing to the song?
Estuve buscando esto por mucho tiempo y al fin la encuentro!
Pom-Peii-O-Peii-O-Pom-Peii-O-Peii-O
It does kinda sound like that doesn't it?
They are saying "Eheu" which means "oh dear" in latin
EheuAul Aul EheuAul Aul EheuAul Aul
@@QuasiLame well that just made this song a bit disturbing considering the fact it based on the Pompeii eruption of 79 AD
Legendary :D
Omg why is a tear coming down my eye

Naomi. Mama
Song definitely resonates with how I feel these days
October 2020 anyone? Who just gets that nostalgia hit like nothing else can offer from this.
When I was in primary we created our own lyrics to this song about science
Old but gold
Brings me to my childhood

I love love this song I play it all the time ❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤🧡💛💚💙💜❤🧡💛💚💙💜
The nostalgia. ... but also makes me think of Pompeii
Best song of all time
Yeeeeees my best song
Heehu hehu hehu hehu
I can agree 🙌🏻
Best thing about the song perspective of someone during the events leading up to and eventually the eruption. Well done Bastille.
I haven’t heard this song in *YEARS*
People in pompeii look in distraught as the volcano erupts and destroys the city and then they just randomly hear this song playing as their entire civilisation gets destroyed
HELP IM STUCK IN A MCDONALDS PLAY PLACE
Oop you good
No clue why im listening to this, but im glad i am.
This was my jam Junior year of HS. Damn those were some good times....
the best miusic in the word
When this song came out, I was in kindergarten and I always thought the song was called close your eyes. When I found out it was about Pompeii, I was so freaking shook that I called it what I did for so long.
This song was part of the best part of my life
Just watched Pompeii and brought tears to my eyes. My favorite part is when the couple kissed at the end! 😭
Nobody fucking asked
Everybody is talking about the chorus being the best part, while my favorite is the drop from the pre chorus to the chorus
This song makes me want to cry because of all the memories of when I was younger
This song makes me shiver here is why. I think in my past life I was a Roman that died in Pompeii. I have always been scared of natural disasters but mostly Volcanoes and I always get a shiver down my spine when people talk about Pompeii or Vesuvius. I am going to go to Italy with my family this year and we will visit Pompeii and Rome. I fear what I am going to see in Pompeii. Thanks old song for scaring me!
how can you just assume that

Lyrics: I was left to my own devices
Many days fall away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we loveee
Great cloud roll over the hills bringing darkness from aboveeeee -drum beats-
But if you close your eyes... DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL
AND IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
HOW AM I GONNA BE A OPTIMIST ABOUT THIS
HOW AM I GONNA BE A OPTIMIST ABOUT THIS
We were caught up and lost in all of our voices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we loveeee
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from aboveeeee
But if you close your eyes....
DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL
AND IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE
YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
HOW AM I GONNA BE A OPTIMIST ABOUT THIS
HOW AM I GONNA BE A OPTIMIST ABOUT THIS!!!!
Oh where do we begin,
The rubble or our sins!
Oh oh where do we begin,
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down (Oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (The rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills (Oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (The rubble or our sins?)
But if you close your eyes....
DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE NOTHING CHANGED AT ALL
AND IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES
DOES IT ALMOST FEEL LIKE
YOU’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
HOW AM I GONNA BE A OPTIMIST ABOUT THIS
HOW AM I GONNA BE A OPTIMIST ABOUT THIS!!!!
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Can't belive how old this song is already. Feels like it was just in the last Fifa.
