Every time I have heard a new Shikari song my first reaction has been "what the f is this?" From day one they have challenged my idea of what music I like, from day one they have never failed to surprise me with each incarnation. They never deliver what I expect, which is, I feel, what makes them perpetually relevant. They have been my favourite band since I was 17 and I feel in many ways I have grown alongside them. Thanks once again for an amazing song that I hated first listen and now love with a passion!
Spot-on assessment. They really seem to continually evolve and challenge the music scene. And now with Rou producing their next album in its entirety, I think there will be plenty more to come.
I have listened to them since I was in my mid teens myself I just remember hearing sorry your not a winner on bbc radio 1 and being hooked ever since. Don't think they have ever released a bad album.
I’ve been like that with so much of their music, perhaps mostly so with hoodwinker and the mindsweep. I never listened to anything remotely heavy when I first got into them right when AFFOC came out so I keep surprising myself in how I’ll grow to love music that would otherwise be outside my usual listening habits. Their more poppy songs, especially this one, have been really easy for me to get into at the first listen as my usual tastes include Lights and Owl City, almost totally opposite musically.
LYRICS : Stop the clocks I’m killing time I don’t ever want this to end And you said that makes two of us There’s a cinema in me It plays counterfeit scenes All my worries and blunders And you said that makes two of us Where’s this present you speak of? Where’s this heavenly bliss? I’m so sick of time travel And you said that makes two of us And all your life you just exist And all your life it’s moments missed And all the time you wait in line What d’ya find? Well that makes two of us Stop the clocks I’m killing time I don’t ever want this to end And you said that makes two of us Drifting, my life is unmoored now Give me coordinates please I look for a safe harbour And you said that makes two of us
It's essentially a love song about two people who recognise each other's pain and yearning for something *more than*. Not a word about roses or doves or alcohol or drugs or sex or 'loyalty' or... pretty much anything in any other love song ever. It speaks of depression and regret and the feeling that we just go from day to day without really living - a longing for direction and safe harbour. It's the moment you find someone who says 'That makes two of us'. That's real beauty.
Jake Gregos the band probably wanted it this way. The editor that did the editing on this video used a lot of adobe software more then likely. He probably gave it the effect to do that. I’m going to school for it so I know s little bit about it.
@@simonschalbers530 Yeah, the spark's stage light shows were amazing bringing the gig to another level, we definitely need something worthy to replace it
Favourite band since 2006/7 when I saw you at the Harlow Square. Been following you around the world since. Banger after banger after banger. Righteous Minds.
Fun fact about that; swap those lights out for cameras in those exact positions and that's how they filmed the "bullet time" sequences in The Matrix. I wonder if that's where they got the idea from, would make sense
I could listen to Rou sing the first 0:15 seconds on a loop and never get bored. This man has such a beautiful voice. Yet to release a song that isn't an absolute banger.
Can't wait to hear the rest of this when it's done. Wonder if he can build us an album w/o War, famine, melting ice, political chaos, coffee spilled on the main control board at CERN, etc. It's a pleasant fiction and we will really need a distraction by then.
I love how Enter Shikari still stays unique on rock/electronic music scene. There is no band like them. Song is also awesome, I can chill while listening to it.
I legitimately would love a rou Reynolds side project/shikari album where they basically make songs like this, this combination of rock, indie, electro, and pop. This is glorious.
THANK YOU!!! That's been bothering me since the song came out. It sounded like something from Take to the Skies or Common Dreads, but I could not figure out which song.
THANK YOU FOR REAL 21:9, instead of the faux cinema resolution. Full screening and getting a full screen instead of double black bars is always such a good feeling.
I love the messages and metaphors within Enter Shikari's music, their music as a whole is entirely unique and original which I love and appreciate in music. Telling their messages through music they want to play. I love it.
I’ve watched this video for a second time, but understood that it’s not the end. Love you for the whole of my heart. Every time and every minute. Forever ❤️
I've played this song at least 3 times a day since it has come out. You guys have such a unique sound unmatched by any other band from your older heavy music to your acoustic and to your amazing current sound! Please come to Florida soon, you're one of my top bucket list bands to see live!
If you've ever been to an Enter Shikari show, you would probably understand that their stage production is fantasic. We are at an age where big production consists of a huge videowalls and minimal lighting, not ES their always go big and bright with their lighting showing that videowalls can never replace lights and not forgetting the futuristic 4D sound from their area productions, you guys are amazing at not only the music but showing people an experience. Thank you.
You guys always invest all of your time and compensation into your craft 110%. As Shakari fans we just want to say thank you for all you've given us and continue to put out amazing projects. Amazing visual concepts and cinematography. Enter Shikari always has a cool vision and ever changing material and morphing. This song is so very catchy, cheers from NYC Shikari fan.
Been waiting for something purely upbeat like this after the last album (which I loved, especially live, however the lyrics were more on a "hopeful yet depressed" vibe). Amazing!
glitches + neon is very amazing combo I like the way you used it in your video I said it before, but love you guys so much, especially this song. absolutely great.
Oh how I think back to what must have been 2010...when I went to see these guys for the first time and I didn't know you had to clap along with SYNAW...and now it's 2020 and I miss concerts so much during this pandemic...please take me back
Enter Shikari are like Queen in their time... - creative and fresh sound. Mostly i need a bit to get into a whole album but after i listen to it more often i fall in love and it empresses me so much that they always reach a new level with their music. Keep doing what you want to do guys (ignore the haters) nothing is more boring than bands/artists always doing the same stuff... its necessary to grow and never hide creative ideas. Music is art. Point.
Thank you so much for making this song and this video. Been in love with it ever since I've first heard it on your concert in Ekaterinburg in march. Listening ever since! (Someone has managed to make a crappy live audio) Oh, and the visuals are utterly gorgeous, love the somewhat nostalgic old-tech vibe I get from it.
I never comment on anything, but I need to comment on that! Great job gyus! Both, the song and the video! It takes me back to the tour in Germany last April. Gosh, how I miss that! So many good vibes!
Great video guys! Love it! Been releasing decent songs since day one! 🤘. Seen you 10 times live and met you 3 times 😜. Keep up the good work for many years to come!
My favorite part of this, compared to most of your standalone singles is how perfectly this captures the entire vibe of The Spark. Much like a farewell to the era and the hope that comes with embracing the new.

Wallea Eaglehawk This describes ES perfectly! I have the same crazy emotions every time they release new songs!
I thoroughly love this diamond in the rough band, so unique, they feel like an evolution desperately needed in an industry in need of new blood.

LYRICS :
Stop the clocks
I’m killing time
I don’t ever want this to end
And you said that makes two of us
There’s a cinema in me
It plays counterfeit scenes
All my worries and blunders
And you said that makes two of us
Where’s this present you speak of?
Where’s this heavenly bliss?
I’m so sick of time travel
And you said that makes two of us
And all your life you just exist
And all your life it’s moments missed
And all the time you wait in line
What d’ya find?
Well that makes two of us
Stop the clocks
I’m killing time
I don’t ever want this to end
And you said that makes two of us
Drifting, my life is unmoored now
Give me coordinates please
I look for a safe harbour
And you said that makes two of us
somebody took some acid =)
not necessarily this song, but I see what you guys did there. Jigsaw pieces and caleidoscopes and shit.
Fucking love you
Thanks for the lyrics and this video is so amazing
Commenters: Where's the lyric guy?

I could watch Rou dance all day and never get bored. Dude's got some moves!
EatmyPiles hkpr
Looks like he has been watching and learning for Mr.Bruce of the correspondents
@Daniel Cooper oh hey Cooper!
That makes two of us
I really want to bust these moves out at random in a community dance class, just because
Okay, the visuals are just so ridiculously stunning.
Whatever amount of budget you guys invested in this music video, it was worth it.
@@mentaltelepathy24 they will for sure. I know so many bands that use this kind of setup. Looking forward to the next time already
@@mentaltelepathy24 I see you on Sleep Token's videos and now you're here too? We should be pals.
expet the resolution is horrid

Righteous Minds.
RIP The Square!!!
Same
Cinematography is brilliant, those lights flowing around the band are fantastic
Fun fact about that; swap those lights out for cameras in those exact positions and that's how they filmed the "bullet time" sequences in The Matrix. I wonder if that's where they got the idea from, would make sense
It would be better if they held a shot for more than five frames.
Ross Leeson watch their newest video for the great unknown. happy?
One of the best British bands ever. These dudes are criminally underrated
Really like the upgrade in video production! And Rou's crazy dance moves are great as always.
me: :(
rou: *dances*
me: :)
I don't ever want this to end
That makes two of us
I just realised that ES have been my fashion idols for the last 8 years. I always kind of changed my style with them.
I could listen to Rou sing the first 0:15 seconds on a loop and never get bored. This man has such a beautiful voice.
Yet to release a song that isn't an absolute banger.
An upbeat classic masterpiece. Makes me want to live in his world without time.
or perhaps live outside??
Classic? It's just Live Outside and the Garrison. Writers block at its finest.
@@TheJulioGulio It's simplicity makes it classic imho. Thinking off the cuff... David Essex- "Rock On" Simple. Best writer's block eva.

here comes the... MASTERPIECE! One of the greatest songs of the all band times. Tnx guys! Brilliant!!))
Nice to see Rory in his favourite shirt. Either he has ten of them or it only gets washed twice a year!
I was thinking how cool he still wears it 😄 hardly anyone does that in bands.
@@evildead2002 exactly what my partner said. What we love about them, not afraid to just be themselves and wear a favourite shirt again and again. ✌️
Matt Busby 👍🏻👍🏻
where else does he wear it? :) have been searching for it but could't find a video in which he wears it...
Enter Shirtari
Enter Shikari really out here making better The 1975 songs than The 1975
could not say it better myself
Who's that?
Are you actually mental? Nothing like the poop they put out. This is pure class music making.
Good to see Sparky hasn't left yet, great work lads
@@mentaltelepathy24 Bride Of Sparky
If Bride of Sparky isn't the next instrument I will be disappointed
Man, those moves from Rou at 1:39 totally melt my mind. And this track is amazing. Thanks for everything, Shikari crew. Love from Texas!
Great video. Love the aesthetic. Also, the melodies and sounds on this and Undercover Agents are amazing, so dance-able.
Ducking BEST SONG AND BEST SONG EVER!!!
I knew that second chorus sounded familiar.
He sang it at the end of No Sleep Tonight live on their CD
You are absolutely right, I found it at the end of the no sleep tonight live at Alexandria palace 2016
THANK YOU!!! That's been bothering me since the song came out. It sounded like something from Take to the Skies or Common Dreads, but I could not figure out which song.
🕯️🕯️🕯️ Guys you are awesome

the singles between the albums just never disappoint!
The career of Enter shikari is exactly like my brain's asking for. Since the beginning.
I'm Scared
Been playing this on repeat for 3 weeks now.
Don't send help.
I'm happy where I am.
I love this band.. So glad I got to see them this year in Toronto with my crush.
Doing it again. I listened to the last album on repeat. It gives me every range of emotion. Come to Tennessee!
I've played this song at least 3 times a day since it has come out. You guys have such a unique sound unmatched by any other band from your older heavy music to your acoustic and to your amazing current sound! Please come to Florida soon, you're one of my top bucket list bands to see live!
instantly stuck in my head and ridicolously danceable as well! :D what a banger
gods, I absolutely can never get enough nor get sick of Enter Shikari's music, I am so damned glad that I found this band back in like 2017!!!
THANK YOU ENTER SHIKARI!! love you guys! I needed this
This band will always be special to me man!!!
This song has been on repeat ever since I heard it on radio 1. It’s such a banger. Mind you saying that, all of Shikari’s hits are bangers.
- How many distorted image effects do you want?
- Yes.
these comments are so f*cking boring by now
@@LukasShyuda I agree, it kind of demerits the visuals themselves and the effort that went into making them look as good as they do.
@@LukasShyuda NPCs are repeating their funny memes
Ease up cobbers, no need to be a-holes
oh this joke again.... cooooool...
3:00 Rou looking like he just took the full power of a star and built Stormbreaker
Adam Protz fuck i haven’t seen an Alex Rider reference in like 10 years
Songs like this come along every so often and make life worth living.
This song is one of those songs that i’d call perfection
Absolutely brilliant track!! The video is super sick, too!
i still adore "we can't breathe in space..", but i have to admit that this is you best video for now.
i think its "we can" btw.
but we CAN breathe in space, they just don't want us to escape ;)
i love this band.....they are what gave meaning and power to my life thanks to their music...hope i see them at 2020!
I saw this live last year in Portsmouth, dispite not ever hearing it before. That night I loved it, I've been waiting for its release for so long
They're back!!

Hits too hard lol

Sick! Video and music made my system have a meltdown! 😉
Love the tracks!
I love the intro, wish it was on the album version!
You can tell this is a band that genuinely have loads of fun when making songs 😄😄
Hard to think this was a year ago, it's flown by, and this song still feels as amazing as it did then.
YES! Loved the song and can't wait to see what comes next. Big love
I adore how they've created this sound!

Just seen them preform this live at reading festival, it was AMAZING !
i am determined to make this “our song” in my next long term relationship.
Loooove your hairstyle, Rou!💙💚

Thank you for this great Birthday Enter Shikari
Anyone else stand on their tips toes like a meerkat when he hits the highs of 'scenes', 'bliss' and 'please'? Or is that just me?
That and jazz hands
this is one of my favorites videos of enter shikari
I really need a tutorial to learn dancing like Rou
The visuals are Amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍 ...Everything is Amazing 😍😍😍😍
Love the song and video bois, can't wait for more new music 💙💙💙
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Chorus puts such a smile on my face
Enter shikari and angels and airwaves need to go to space together already.
My favorite part of this, compared to most of your standalone singles is how perfectly this captures the entire vibe of The Spark. Much like a farewell to the era and the hope that comes with embracing the new.
I think im in love with this Style :D This song makes me happy :D
Yes Shikari, pounding out the bangers. Do more vids like undercover agents!!
