Still one of my all time favorite songs ever! BIG LOVE for deeper styles of electronic music.. A genre that keeps inventing and rediscovering itself over and over again.. Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. 🙏🏼
Lots of good interpretations. Here's another: The man's wife left him because of his problems (can be emotional, behavioral). He's stuck in the infinite loop where he just can't let her go. Each time the loop repeats as he is coming to realise that it was his problems that caused her to go ("die by his OWN car running her over metaphor"). At the end he waits long enough to see that, and comes to realize how much his problem has f'd his life up. It's all about that moment of epiphany that many need (to become better versions of themselves), but most never get. You can also flip the story on her. She has done something bad. And he's trying to figure it out, trying to turn the page. But it's getting him worn down, frustrated. "Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the Why don't we turn the" He doesn't care what it is, he just wants her to stop acting weird and to stay: "Whatever you've done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on" The whole video could be about how frustrating it is when someone locks you out, when all you want is to be with them, and you don't care what they've done. This also fits with his reactions becoming more considerate. He gets closer to the reason why she's acting this way. And at the end, he finally sees why. Now if you really wanna push it far, you can short circuit both stories. At the end he realizes she's locking him out because of something HE has done. And here comes in the "getting run over by his OWN car". Only thing I can't figure out is why there is a Porsche parked in a garage with door open, while he drives an old Volvo. Is it because old habits are hard to let go?

This feels like Watchung Sunstone in purgatory never being able to get to the thing they want most, or in their own personal hell, reliving their worst moments on a loop for eternity.
Can't get enough of sbtrkt!! One of the main reasons why this blows most chart shite out of the water, is the sheer fact, this has meaning behind it. Don't find that often these days, just people singing for money as usual! Sbtrkt, absolute class... my ears thank you!
when i listened to this 4 years back it only had 100k man the world is changing fast. make sure you try to take advantage of this unique time we are in!
It's music and voices like this that takes you to the better part of the human imagination. Somehow I wish music like this was a language and we'd all speak it and finally come to some kind of peace.
This video really hit home. Perfect blend of music, sound and video. I adore the way the msg is delivered in many forms. One of my fav this year, thanks for sharing and posting.
The whole album is amazing! ive been on this cd since day 1 . I had so many amazing times and straight amazing/blissfull moments with this song expecially and others on the album!
the last time I felt as frustrated as I do for the guy in this video was when I watched Spongebob repeatedly miss the bus ride from Rock Bottom back to Bikini Bottom.
I have never felt bliss like standing in a field and listening to this live, they were incredible at Reading Festival and if you get the chance to see them then fucking go because it was amazing

lighting in this video is very much like that of gregory crewdson! Like it a lot and the song... well... sbtrkt and sampha were put on this earth to make music together!!
A comment like this would have been praised back in 2008, but now people your age are producing/making music like this. With the internet being more widely used, musicians like sbtrkt build their fanbase off of the internet nowadays. So honestly, your comment doesn't surprise many.
I HAVE BEEN INTO SBTRKT FOR A WHILE IM JUST EXCITED THAT THEY FINALLY HIT THE STATES ON MTV SO I CAN SHARE THE WEALTH IN A CONVERSASTION AND SOMEONE MIGHT ACTUALLY KNOW WHO IM TALKING ABOUT NOW ... LOL
Are you kidding me? have you heard the music 13 year olds listen to do these dys? it's terror to my years. to see 13 year olds who have good takes in music at such a young age is awesome.
My mom used to be a heavy alcoholic and I’d cry and cry to this song… but she’s been sober 7 YEARS🎉
has she relapsed
Is she single
Beautiful... Mine too actually. Didn't know this connected to that.
Still one of my all time favorite songs ever! BIG LOVE for deeper styles of electronic music.. A genre that keeps inventing and rediscovering itself over and over again.. Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything. 🙏🏼
Give purity ring a listen, Lofticries and begin again are fantastic tracks
Duuuuude just come across this BIIIG LIUUVSSS !!!
This song will never grow old
Never
I stand by what ive said
Never
Hold on,to this cuz it is still my jam
1994pavle mine to
Never tire of sbtrkt and sampha collaborating!! They make incredible music 🙏🙏🙏
he's stuck.. on the love .. on life... there is no progression for him. life will forever be looped.
Me :(
The story of my life 🥲
Lots of good interpretations. Here's another:
The man's wife left him because of his problems (can be emotional, behavioral). He's stuck in the infinite loop where he just can't let her go. Each time the loop repeats as he is coming to realise that it was his problems that caused her to go ("die by his OWN car running her over metaphor").

It's all about that moment of epiphany that many need (to become better versions of themselves), but most never get.
You can also flip the story on her. She has done something bad. And he's trying to figure it out, trying to turn the page. But it's getting him worn down, frustrated.
"Why don't we turn the leaf? Why don't we turn the
Why don't we turn the"
He doesn't care what it is, he just wants her to stop acting weird and to stay:
"Whatever you've done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on"
The whole video could be about how frustrating it is when someone locks you out, when all you want is to be with them, and you don't care what they've done.
This also fits with his reactions becoming more considerate. He gets closer to the reason why she's acting this way. And at the end, he finally sees why.

Only thing I can't figure out is why there is a Porsche parked in a garage with door open, while he drives an old Volvo. Is it because old habits are hard to let go?
What points to alcohol so strongly for you?
Matt Sven
Personal experiences would be my bet.
That seems to fit! Makes sense. Also fits with the fact that his reactions after subsequent visits seems to become more considerate than before.

The Legislator Wow, nice interpretation.
This is a piece of art. I keep coming to watch this masterpiece from time to time.
Me remembering this album after all these years definitely means good things about to come.🚀🌙❤
Glad a video can finally accompany this song.. One of the best songs of 2011!
Song never gets old, I forget about it and then It finds me again 💙🎶
Same here, it just popped in my head
Same here!
This tune is one of my favourites over the last couple of years.. amazing, i love it..
I can listen to this forever, already have been listening to this for four hours. Great song.
Me too

It's like a Gregory Crewdson photograph but with one of the best songs of last year underneath. Perfect.
First time feeling emotional from a music video in a very long time, a lot of us has been here & still haven’t realized it shit hurts so much
when i listened to this 4 years back it only had 100k man the world is changing fast. make sure you try to take advantage of this unique time we are in!

Slaps still to this day and forever
Yep
Im 13 and Im glad tht I know such awesome music. There are no beautiful words that can I can describe about SBTRKT.
You are clearly my favourites!
u must be a "music philosopher" now if your taste was this good at 13 lol
Maybe it's the chilling, whispery falsettos? The simple, calm, but driving beats? The subtlety? The airiness? The ethereality? Yeah...I dig it too.
i absolutely love videos like these. complex simplicity
seeing this live was one of the best moments of my life.
This video really hit home. Perfect blend of music, sound and video. I adore the way the msg is delivered in many forms. One of my fav this year, thanks for sharing and posting.
I seem to be playing this everytime I'm sad, SBTRKT
The whole album is amazing! ive been on this cd since day 1 . I had so many amazing times and straight amazing/blissfull moments with this song expecially and others on the album!
Thansk youtube for finally making the lpaylist visible! About time.
And i love this video and tune a lot.
the last time I felt as frustrated as I do for the guy in this video was when I watched Spongebob repeatedly miss the bus ride from Rock Bottom back to Bikini Bottom.
:)
Lmao I swear tho, I'm like jump through window but don't keep your eyes off of her
Nigga gay

I guess I'm kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to watch new series online?
This is beautiful beyond words.
Love everything with a Volvo!!!
everything about his song is just so right. Absolutely amazing
The whole beat and Melody is just like its Waves are just traveling around your brain

I have never felt bliss like standing in a field and listening to this live, they were incredible at Reading Festival and if you get the chance to see them then fucking go because it was amazing
Oh
How'd you mean?, What do you mean you're not coming by?
I called you later and you were outside
It always screams screams inside my head
Curtains closed you'd be beside my head
You were always down for it
Get in this getaway and we run from it
Yeah, you were always down for it
Get in this getaway and we run from it
You're giving me the coldest stare

Cause usually you're down for it
Can't hold back a smile when you try for it
Yeah, cause usually you're down for it

Why don't you let me sing? Why don't you let me
Why don't you let me sing? Why don't you let me
You're giving me the coldest stare

Whatever done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on
Whatever done, However bad, Hold on hold on hold on
