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
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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.
Even though fairly big.. should be the band/artists that are spoken of first and everything else is compared to! When this happens we can explore space together.. forever ❤️
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
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!
First time I heard this song at a concert in Kiev. I love 0:52, because there was a cool light show at this moment at the concert (I hope you understand me :D). Great song!
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.
100% Rory went through a life changing LSD trip and came out the other end as a completely new person. I'm falling in love with Enter Shikari again, and it's in a whole new way this time...
I disliked this song when it came out, but of course, it grew on me, and became one of my favourites this year. The lyrics are just something else, and 5 years ago I wouldn't have gotten it. But now it resonates, I'm finally living in the present, no longer waiting in line. Saw it live yesterday and teared up :') Reminds me not to miss a moment. (hit doubly hard after the sax chirstmas carols, thanks lads)
I've loved ES since "Take to the Skies"... I adore the band, hands down.. Their sound, their videos, their production, everything about them is spectacular!!!! That being said, as much as i love the new stuff and the self made direction they are going, i do miss the old, "raw" heavy style but thats just me. Regardless of what ES do, they are absolutely incredible
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!
Now I am sure that the right way of listening new Shikari is the following: Day1: um, okay let is rest, do not dislike Day2: wow, the video appears again, but no, I won't listen to it Day3: I am ready to give it a new try Day4: chorus stuck in the head, new favourite has been set up
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?
Enter Shikari: Say no more fam

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.
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 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?
I don't ever want this to end
That makes two of us
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.
me: :(
rou: *dances*
me: :)
One of the best British bands ever. These dudes are criminally underrated
I just realised that ES have been my fashion idols for the last 8 years. I always kind of changed my style with them.
Really like the upgrade in video production! And Rou's crazy dance moves are great as always.
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.
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.
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.
Ducking BEST SONG AND BEST SONG EVER!!!
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
here comes the... MASTERPIECE! One of the greatest songs of the all band times. Tnx guys! Brilliant!!))
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.
The career of Enter shikari is exactly like my brain's asking for. Since the beginning.
I'm Scared
🕯️🕯️🕯️ Guys you are awesome
thanks for your music 🤗 🇷🇺
Been playing this on repeat for 3 weeks now.
Don't send help.
I'm happy where I am.
"And all your life you just exist
And all your life it’s moments missed
And all the time you wait in line"
is that a personal attack or something?
Deep lyrics right there. Hits home
Hits too hard lol
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
Great video. Love the aesthetic. Also, the melodies and sounds on this and Undercover Agents are amazing, so dance-able.
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.
hearing this song live as an encore (liverpool) CHANGED MY LIFE!
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 ❤️
the singles between the albums just never disappoint!
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.. So glad I got to see them this year in Toronto with my crush.
Aw that lil Shikari shimmy at 3:44 is the cutest thing ever.
This band will always be special to me man!!!

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
They played this as the encore last Saturday night in Folkestone such a great band to see live!
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.

YES! Loved the song and can't wait to see what comes next. Big love
I love the intro, wish it was on the album version!
instantly stuck in my head and ridicolously danceable as well! :D what a banger
They're back!!
Absolutely brilliant track!! The video is super sick, too!
man this song has grown on me so well
Even though fairly big.. should be the band/artists that are spoken of first and everything else is compared to! When this happens we can explore space together.. forever ❤️
Doing it again. I listened to the last album on repeat. It gives me every range of emotion. Come to Tennessee!
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 am determined to make this “our song” in my next long term relationship.
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.

You can tell this is a band that genuinely have loads of fun when making songs 😄😄
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
I adore how they've created this sound!

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
Omg, Rou is gorgerous
Enter shikari and angels and airwaves need to go to space together already.
Loooove your hairstyle, Rou!💙💚
THANK YOU ENTER SHIKARI!! love you guys! I needed this
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 went from seeing these guys in a small upstairs backroom of the leopard pub in doncaster, to seeing them smashing everything they do. Unreal!
Enter Shikari's sound is the most british thing ever
100% Rory went through a life changing LSD trip and came out the other end as a completely new person.
I'm falling in love with Enter Shikari again, and it's in a whole new way this time...

no
this is one of my favorites videos of enter shikari
these guys and their music are more relevant than ever but incredibly underrated
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.

Day2: wow, the video appears again, but no, I won't listen to it
Day3: I am ready to give it a new try
Day4: chorus stuck in the head, new favourite has been set up
Absolutely amazing! 0:00
These guys smashed reading 2019 👌🏼
Is it just me, or do they all look extremely fit in this video? 😎
I love your SOLO on guitar! It's brilliant!
As of writing this, I only heard of them for the first time last night at Good Things Australia, and can safely say I’m a fan
Most. Underrated. Band. Ever.
This is the peak of Shikari
This song has been in my head since it was first released. So damn catchy
Thank you for this great Birthday Enter Shikari
Hard to think this was a year ago, it's flown by, and this song still feels as amazing as it did then.
Какие же молодцы..уже лет 15 или даже больше наблюдаю Вас..🤘😁
Nice nod to Bohemian Rhapsody at 2:04!
