Let's grow old together, and die at the same time. Such a powerful line. Not only because it is the ultimate thing to say to a significant other. It also signifies the fear of losing someone. You want to spend your life with someone, but only if you die at the same time. So you dont experience the loss of that person.
You're right. How is it possible that only by listening man can recognize if it's a British or an American rock band? I can hear the differences, but I can't name it. Someone to help me? 😊
i totally agree...one of the many reasons i love this band so much...if you would like to we could chat about music someday...i wish you all the good and all the blessings...maybe till next time...
"Let's grow old together and die at the same time" one of the most romantic phrases IMO. If someone says that to you, wow that's another level altogether. It's more like a deep soul connection and not the superficial crap we are being fed most of the time. Still sounds great in 2018!
When I was dating my ex a lot of bad shit happened. Stuff that created the foundation for my PTSD diagnosis. This was a song she introduced to me and I listened to it a lot when my heart was hurting from her abuse. I couldn't listen to it after we broke up, simply because I knew it would trigger flashbacks which were quite regularly after we broke up. It wasn't until I looked her up about 2 and a half years later that I realized she's just a loser now who latches onto someone new when she gets bored, which made me feel shit in a way but I felt empowered by the fact that I was free from her now. It's like a weight fell off me and I could breathe without her in the shadows of my thoughts. I decided to listen to this song to see how far I'd gotten, like a test. I felt many things, as you can imagine. That lyric "to lose my life or lose my love", it felt like it was talking about the fact that during the relationship I had to choose between living my life or losing her cos I kept getting ultimatums, that realization hit hard. But I eventually fell in love with it, a song I listen to regularly as a reminder of my strength and growth. It's now my favourite song of all time.
@@peterkoppanyi133 That's the thing, I'm the one with BPD. She was there when I got diagnosed, she knew the symptoms and thus my weaknesses what strings to pull. She's just a twisted, cruel person. I get that she had bad experiences in previous relationships but that's no excuse to treat others the same way in return. I fought and fought to make things right, but she just negelected my mental health in favour for torturing me.
@@peterkoppanyi133Thanks, dude. Your kindness is appreciated. I'm in a much better place now, at least in terms of that part of my life. Endure and survive
Dark, epic and intense. The ambiguity in the lyrical meaning, does he mean abandonment of god or a male partner, gives depth and intelligence to a music scene that badly needs some. I love the image of a soul soaring above the trees it makes me yearn for the otherworld. Thank god for this band.
Heard this song when it just came out in the US. We were on tour in California and radio stations plugged this one. We did not know White Lies, but everytime it came on radio in the van whilst driving we were like 'hell yeah' That chorus speaks volumes of experiences to come....
Nobody needs to know if you're still listening, or in what year, or if you believe this band/song is underrated. You're just here because you like the song, and we can leave it at that.
When I hear this song, it takes me back to being a young soldier stationed in Italy (who had survived a 15mo combat tour), driving my pos dodge like a stolen rally car to go pick up my then-fiancee. To be young, reckless and invincible again.
@Deacon Lmao nah. Most likely U.S. Army during the War in Afghanistan. The 173rd Airborne Brigade is in Italy and has fought viciously in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
This song was suck in my head for so long now. 8 years maybe more, I couldn't remember the lyrics, anything.... and just like that today I stumble upon my ipod touch from 2007 and sure enough this was in the favorite section. Damn did it take me back to memory lane holding the ipod and hearing this. Cheers!
Kiedyś słysząc to w radiu, nie spodziewałam się, że za 2 lata stanie się moją najukochańszą piosenką na świecia, a White Lies zespołem, na którego punkcie zwariuję. Kocham ich straasznie! Oni są dla mnie jak powietrze, kocham, kocham i jeszcze raz kocham
USMCLP think it’s probably the Smiths lyric: ‘and if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine” That might help drive some of that connection
Dave Mustaine I first saw them live at kerrang in 2006 and they were amazing :D best night of my life was seeing them for my birthday at Wolverhampton civic in 2012

@@karlbasel Karl, Tottenham Hotspur sucks. Liverpool F.C. is where it's at baby! Just kidding. Congratulations on the win over Crvena Zvezda today. In the group b stage of European Champions League match. 4-0 is a great full time shutout result.
2024, anyone? Listen to this every morning ❤
Me!
yeah me too!
listened to it the first time just now :)
perfect time too because i choose to free
yep
Oh yes ❤
2:35 when they bring in the chorus and verse at the same time it almost gives me chills. So cool...
my exact thought
It's brilliant
Yes goosebumps! 💓
Yeah, yeah, I always go crazy for this
Totally agree with you!

British Rockbands from this time period are by far one of the best bands of the past 30 years.
You're right. How is it possible that only by listening man can recognize if it's a British or an American rock band? I can hear the differences, but I can't name it. Someone to help me? 😊
SAME!! not only were the songs catchy af they were genuinely good.theres just no sound like this nowadays.
This song is for life, it doesn't matter if you are still listening to it in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2050. This song will be for ever in your soul.
Definitely!🎶
2020? shit i was blasting this 15 years ago
I was born in 1970, and this sound takes me back to the early-mid eighties...love it.
New Order-esk tunes on this group
yeah I also thought there was something a bit goth/new wave about it
i totally agree...one of the many reasons i love this band so much...if you would like to we could chat about music someday...i wish you all the good and all the blessings...maybe till next time...
It really does!!!

This is one of those songs that I, without realizing it, sing along to in my car. The infectious chorus gets me every time.
D'you sing this song in your car? you must be the coolest people out there
When I first listened to this one I thought it was a forgotten classic form the 80's.
Fabi Astro Same here. I learned that this wasn't just a month ago.
I second u
so true
This sounds soooo 2000s and I’m a huge 80s music fan... doesn’t sound like the 80s at all
Same. I first had a listening of this song in dirt 2 but haven't found the song name out till now...
The powerful, deep, even tone is ghostly. And the row-row-row-your-boat at the end is a glorious tempo boost finish.
One of the sweetest lyrics in music, “let’s grow old together and die at the same time”. Such a good song
God, this song will never get old. Can't wait for the new album.
2021 and stillll amazing
Yessssss
Agree
100% true!
Agree!
2022 and it still is
I'm so cool because I was listening this when I was 17 and I'm in my 30s now.
The evidence is here...England delivers the best music in the world..grtz from Holland
Klopt
thats a falacy
True. Sweden and Finland as well.
amongst the most original....
Belgium as well haha.
Great Dark Vibe to this Song. Back when MTV Will Put Music Videos
One of my favorite songs of all time! And that's a hard list to break into.
Is it in your top 5?
The Best DiRT 2 soundtrack
Dirt 2 the best soudtracker racing game and the second place Forza Horizon 1

If I'm alive in 2089, I'll still be listening to it
Let's go oh together...
My friend showed me this yesterday, and I was like WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF THIS AWESOME BAND BEFORE!!!??
i fell in love in this song
for the first time
Just like me. :) :*
Well, I fell in love with this song. 🙂
I just listened 30 times in the last hour!! perfect song!!
"let's grow oldo together, and die at the same time"
There are songs that get boring after listening to them several times. And then comes this song, what a masterpiece!
Never gets old unlike us 😊
End of 2019 anyone? I can’t believe its 10 years old
Same! Honestly one of my favorite throwback tracks as well as Muse’s Uprising 🙌🏼
Il tempo vola
I remember this when it came out in 2008, I was volunteering for BTCV and it was always on the radio!
The best thing is that their album from 2019 has the same vibes as the early songs. They haven't lost their energy.
I can since I was at their gig in London in 2013.
Nobody needs to know if you're still listening, or in what year, or if you believe this band/song is underrated. You're just here because you like the song, and we can leave it at that.

Very deep. Thanks for sharing that.
+Andy “Akela” Wolf WW2?
+Andy Wolf (Akela) pwerfulll electronic dark rock
@Deacon Lmao nah. Most likely U.S. Army during the War in Afghanistan. The 173rd Airborne Brigade is in Italy and has fought viciously in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
holy shit what a memory
this is the best song in the world, lyrics, sound and video, PERFECT.
One of the Top 10 best songs of all time, hands down!!!
2021. March. Damn... I'm 33... Still one of the favourite songs. Their songs of course.
Yes !!..took me back to the exact same era of alternative rock.
The Chameleons UK came to mind.
Clear inspiration
W Polsce słuchaliśmy tego utworu w PR.Pr.3 Super song and band 😂
This is one of their best tracks off this album. I'm listening to the new album right now, and it has an eighties goth feel too!
What album?
drums-bass-voice-drive: goosebumps
Again one of the best songs ever recorded. Fact. (Just not long enough so played it twice)
Che intensità, che sound, che bellaaaaaa🔝🔝🖤🖤 🎼🎵
What a fantastic album. Literally every song is amazing
no joke my favorite song.
I get a Joy Division vibe from this, brilliant.
I was thinking the same
+Chelsea Bowe Others say Tears for Fears (vocally for sure!) but the Joy Division element makes a lot of sense.
omg same
Totally, it islike they had a child from Joy Division and The Smiths!!
and a bit of Depeche Mode
Why can't White Lies new music be this good? :(
+Luke Anthony Well to play devil's advocate you ought to listen to their demo tracks for the new album, it's actually good.
Sorry, but it is not nearly as good as this :(
The last album “Five” is pretty good. Check out “Never Alone”, “Kick Me” (especially second part of the song), Time To Give and other stuff
Tokio
I would say 95% of the artist can't make music as good as they used to do
One of my favorites from the DiRT 2 soundtrack ❤
They sound like a mix of The Bravery and The Killers
Its perfect XD
Always had this in my head as a 80s/90s song
This song was suck in my head for so long now. 8 years maybe more, I couldn't remember the lyrics, anything.... and just like that today I stumble upon my ipod touch from 2007 and sure enough this was in the favorite section.

Classic ... timeless ... powerful
I love their videos. They're masterpieces. Beautiful... touch the mind and move the soul. And thats not even mentioning the music... awesome band :)
I ♥️ this song because it continues the tradition of the darkwave music remanistance of The Cure, Siouxie Sioux & the Banshees, and Sisters of Mercy.
Now thats what i call music. Seen these guys live in Liverpool they were awesome.
I love their style. It reminds me of the music I listened to in the 80s while in high school. Thank you for bringing it back =)
let's grow old together and die at the same time love it
So Joy Divisional sound and perform. Amazing SONG !!!
Colin McRae DiRT 2.
Thank you for sharing this song and band with me.
Recuerdo haber visto este video por primera vez en MTV y me encanto :) buen sonido.
Let's grow old together, and die at the same time......amazing!
the magic of 'white lies' music...it is always actual, always sounds fresh!
Sounds like Duran Duran and a bit of The Killers, bloody brilliant :)
Kiedyś słysząc to w radiu, nie spodziewałam się, że za 2 lata stanie się moją najukochańszą piosenką na świecia, a White Lies zespołem, na którego punkcie zwariuję. Kocham ich straasznie! Oni są dla mnie jak powietrze, kocham, kocham i jeszcze raz kocham
Kurde, mam nadzieję,że po 10 latach jesteś tu nadal ziomek, tak jak ja 🙃
Muzyka doskonała i ponadczasowa :) byłem na ich występie w birmingham rok temu, są świetni
Kilkanaście lub więcej lat temu byli również na Woodstocku w Polsce - pod namiotem na małej scenie. Rewelacyjny zespół!❤
The only instrument shown is the drums?!! Genius!!!
this song was my initiation to an addiction called white lies, what a great and sadly underrated band!
This was the point when I gave up on the singles charts when this absolute masterpiece only got to number 34
This crushes my emotion every single time...
i love this song
wow. i hear this song every morning on mtv. love it. can't get it out of my head.
I'm happy there were bands like this when I was young
Eu amo d+!!!!! White lies vcs são tudo d bom!!
Reminds me of a modernised, post-punk revival version of the Smiths.
Yeah, I can see that. Nicely put.
Thanks. ;)
Indie rock bro
I think you mean The Cure or Joy Division instead. Also, fuck Morrisey.
USMCLP think it’s probably the Smiths lyric:
‘and if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us, to die by your side, well the pleasure, the privilege is mine”
That might help drive some of that connection
This was the song I played that caught my attention to this unknown group and the catalyst for seeing them live 6 times since.
Worthy tune...lyrically awesome...
this band is future legend!
Watching these guys in Barcelona on 16.11.2016 😎
watched them. They were AWESOME!
Dave Mustaine I first saw them live at kerrang in 2006 and they were amazing :D best night of my life was seeing them for my birthday at Wolverhampton civic in 2012
I went to that gig at the Civic as well. Bloody brilliant.
David Torr ending it on Bigger Than Us was amazing :D my mum was parked outside and she could hear it XD
I literally fucking love this song so much
that last minute.... I could listen to it forever
Recuerdo haberlo escuchado en MTv, es un tremendo temazo!
Let's grow old together, and die at the same time 🎶👫💕🙏
He said, let's grow old together and die at the same time 💜
Totally love this track - White Lies are the best thing in an age!!!
He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while
I was always careless as a child
And there's a part of me that still believes
My soul will soar above the trees
But a desperate fear flows through my blood
That our dead love's buried beneath the mud
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
I said I've got no time, I have to go
And I was more right than now I'll ever know
He said my heart is faint, will minds regret?
And left him crying next to the chapel's steps
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
Let's grow old together
And die at the same time
He said, "Let's grow old together
And die at the same time"
"Let's grow old together
And die at the same time", he said
He said to lose my life or lose my love
That's the nightmare I've been running from
So let me hold you in my arms a while (let's grow old together)
I was careless as a child (and die at the same time)
There's a part of me that still believes (let's grow old together)
My soul will soar above the trees (and die at the same time)
A desperate fear flows through my blood (let's grow old together)
Our dead love's buried beneath the mud (and die at the same time)
A desperate fear flows through my blood (let's grow old together)
Our dead love's buried beneath the mud (and die at the same time)
I love this song, 2008 a year that I will always remember because to many things occur in my life
Loved this when it came out then life went bad… just reconnected with this band awesome stuff 😎
Great synthy track, has a vibe of the 80s 🌹 💕🎶
2024? J adore... ❤
"Lets make clothes together!, and Dye at the same time!!"
😂 That's what it sounds like actually lol
I remember this when came out in 09'. Can't believe how time passes.
Sublime Divina unica meravigliosa indescrivibile!!! Potenza energia e voglia di esser sempre più tenaci !!! Thanks !!!
Depeche Mode, Tubeway Army, Early Ultravox, Joy Division, etc....
I would say both late John Foxx Ultravox and early Midge Ure Ultravox.

This song is badass
Great absolutely!
This is the only song I can wake up to in the morning.

Thanks DiRT 2
Yeah it does remind me of joy division, killing joke, & editors for some reason there is a bit of the bravery as well, good stuff ☺
