imagine sitting out on your balcony underneath a blanket of stars, a cool edge to the late evening air, a warm cup of coffee(or other hot beverage) clutched in your hand, steam rising up into the night sky. Listening to the sounds of the city; you hear music, slightly distant but beautiful. You happily watch the sky as this song softly plays in the background, echoing off the concrete walls of the building, trailing off into the city. :) this is what i imagine when i hear this ^-^
Dan you have the most comforting voice. I listen to one of your songs and my headache goes away. So Im constantly listening to you sing. And there is nothing at all wrong with that. I could listen and do listen to you all day.
Saw both of you's the other day in Herford (Ralph I was one of the two girls who met you outside who 'didn't sound German' haha) and both To Kill a King and Bastille were amazing (seperate and combined) so thanks for making the night amazing x
Ich war auch da, hab Ralph auch noch aufm weg nach draußen getroffen als er sich was zu trinken geholt hat :D die bands passen echt gut zusammen, ich geb dir recht die waren einfach hammer !
Lyrics: These streets are yours, you can keep them I don't want them They pull me back and I surrender To the memories I run from Oh we have paved these streets With moments of defeat But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else But I won't show my face here anymore (oh) I won't show my face here anymore These streets are yours, you can keep them In my mind it's like you haunt them And passing through I think I see you In the shapes of other women Oh we have framed these walls With our mistakes and flaws But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else But I won't show my face here anymore I won't show my face here anymore All that's left behind (ooooh) Is a shadow on my mind (is a shadow on my mind) All that's left behind Is a shadow on my mind But even if we won't admit it to ourselves We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else But I won't show my face here anymore I won't show my face here anymore And I won't show my face here anymore Oh I won't show my face here anymore
This reminds me of that scene in HIMYM where The Mother is singing La Vie en Rose and Ted was awed and just serenely listened to it from the other balcony. I'd like to think Ralph's neighbors are like Ted during that session.

I love how Dan's fingers are so awkward on the keyboard... I have the exact same problem.. Well, it's not really a problem, but I think it's sweet that even after all this time, he still has the same little habit. Again, not saying this is bad, because I do the same thing... It's just... There's only a couple of people who do that who are still really good at playing the keyboard... And I really admire him for it. It's just another way he stands out from most musicians. In a good way, of course. He's dazzling, is he not?
I used to be obsessed with this 8 years ago.. I still am.
Didn't expect to see you here lol. Me too though, just randomly popped into my head
Yeah, that feeling never goes away.
Still now
Could you just imagine living near Ralph with all of these balcony sessions?
That would be................wow
i like to listen to music to help me sleep so.... i would doze of easily
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😍😍😍😍
Could you just imagine being in the presence of a God (Dan)
bookfanatics13 I'd pay to live near there 😂
I should be studying right now. Damn you Bastille!
Hans Olo the story of my life. AHAHHAHAHAHHA
Hans Olo SAME
Hans Olo same!!!!
+Hans Olo sAME.
Hans Olo I should be enjoying family time.

I love you Bastille!!
I listen this for minimum 100 times now
I love the cleanes and authentiy
Stands there like a boss, like 'oh just gonna sing a bit, oh that's a nice view' Gotta love that guy.
wish I could play guitar like ralph.
and their voices, so gentle and soothing
It's like he doesn't even try he's just an ANGEL
That subtle and beautiful harmony in the last line is what I live for.
I would love to live next door to Ralph when these were being done !
Ralph's voice brings something really new to the song. I really like it! Needless to say, Dan was just being cute at!
I miss young Dan.
And his hair 💙
lol
its not like he's old now o-o
i wish i can have balcony near Ralph and hear this angel voices )

Great concept, great version and great view :) such a shame the other members of Bastille were'nt there though
Vocals are on point!
This episode of the Balcony Sessions was the very first time I saw Ralph and got to know about TKAK. It was love at first listen (and sight)
It's so cool to see them performing together again just like they started out. The Ralph and Dan / Annie Oakley's Hanging days are back! :)
8 years later and it still bangs
bastille are just completely amazing ! 💕
Dan's voice is something beautiful !
Impressionante como a voz deles no estúdio e acústico é a mesma.
ne!
Pensei a mesma coisa
Dan's voice is so beautiful.
'think of little elves'
I hate youu xD
Rocky S
Is it all you can hear now?
+Scarlet Peoni Yes! I can't undo what you've done 😂
i'm crying hhahahaha
Scarlet Peoni I always sang it like that and it would make me laugh so hard, I don't know why😂
Ralph this is beautiful, I love this interpretation of all the instruments just through your guitar. Top notch
Lyrics:
These streets are yours, you can keep them
I don't want them
They pull me back and I surrender
To the memories I run from
Oh we have paved these streets
With moments of defeat
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
But I won't show my face here anymore (oh)
I won't show my face here anymore
These streets are yours, you can keep them
In my mind it's like you haunt them
And passing through I think I see you
In the shapes of other women
Oh we have framed these walls
With our mistakes and flaws
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
But I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
All that's left behind (ooooh)
Is a shadow on my mind (is a shadow on my mind)
All that's left behind
Is a shadow on my mind
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
But I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
And I won't show my face here anymore
Oh I won't show my face here anymore
My teardrops are coming back...
Dan you are awesome. GO BASTILLE! :))
I bought their album about 4 weeks ago and I have not stopped listening to it. Surprise, surprise I am 52 and I absolutely love Bastille!
I fall in love when I watch and hear Dan sing.
this video is one of the most beautiful things ever
This is the best version of this I have heard !
Nostalgia demais
This reminds me of that scene in HIMYM where The Mother is singing La Vie en Rose and Ted was awed and just serenely listened to it from the other balcony. I'd like to think Ralph's neighbors are like Ted during that session.
just imagine living in the flat next door and getting to listen to this awesome little outdoor concert!!

These streets are yours, you can keep them
I don't want them
They pull me back, and I surrender
To the memories I run from

We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
I won't show my face here anymore

These streets are yours, you can keep them
In my mind it's like you haunt them
And passing through, I think I see you
In the shapes of other women
Oh we have stained these walls
With our mistakes and flaws
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
I won't show my face here anymore
I won't show my face here anymore
All that's left behind
Is a shadow on my mind
All that's left behind
But even if we won't admit it to ourselves
We'll walk upon these streets and think of little else
