Blake, James - Lindesfarne I Lyrics

She is in a group home. They are all terminal and she has a shot of healing and making it out. It was an initiation and goodbye.

I'm so Gone. Gone with the

Fuck kows what it means - but it means something - all of it - the music is too beautiful for it to mean nothing

i’m up in the wooooooooods

Música que me hace olvidar del tiempo .... pasan los años y aquí sigue esta hermosa canción...
James, eres una persona especial con tus sonidos en mis oídos. Gracias

[Chorus]
Kestrels breed
Looking farther than I can see
Without tact to read
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

[Verse 1]
For all your time
Playful crime in rain
Worth it being cold
Roofing for the lanes
A lesson lost again
A lesson lost again

[Verse 2]
Cute but I'll take the bus
With fees and favours gone
Cracks in savers pass
And a white that sometimes shone
Wanton borrowed gun
Wanton borrowed gun

[Chorus]

🎶💚😎👍🏽

I like it when they do a ritual with the spit.

Didn't like the video.

I think this is about the spiritual/metaphysical birth of an idea or a creation such as this song or being a creative and brining an idea to life. Everyone who compared it to her being pregnant was close but I think her on the toilet with her pen and paper with the door ajar was meant to look like finding out your pregnant with a child but in this case it's an idea. The spit ritual I think was a metaphor of the influence and affect those around creatives have on their ideas and art. Also when she leaves at the end it reminds me of leaving your family and friends behind on your journey to success.

I remember that this video really impressed me when i first watched it 4 years ago or so. But I can understand why people also think that it's a little pretentious.

Fabulous, but too much base for the bestest headphones!

It’s about friendship and commitment

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING

is that the same actress from the rhye video? anyway i'm p sure it's just about them making a pact before she goes away, with some extra nuances thrown in, it's rly sweet. my fav part is how james plays a sorta ghost figure.

That spit thing made me hurl...
This song is amazing though 💞
James Blake is amazing.

When I saw that person drink spit, I felt sick. Never felt that sick or cringed that hard before

uma otima música !!!

In case you can't understand anything:
Kestrels breed,
Looking further than I can see
Without tact to read,
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

For all your time,
Playful crime in rain
Worth it being cold,
Roofing for the lanes
A lesson lost again
A lesson lost again

Cute but I'll take the bus,
With fees and favours gone
Cracks in savers pass,
And a white that sometimes shone
Wanton borrowed gun
Wanton borrowed gun

Kestrels breed,
Looking further than I can see
Without tact to read,
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

not a fan...

In satanism one of their rituals is swallowing other people's spit standing in a circle as they are doing in this video. Every music video has an agenda.

Does anyone know what happened to the Retrograde and Limit To Your Love videos have gone?????

TheAbsolutelyAmazing Celesteeni Mandela Effect lol

She doesn't deserve I am doing to her. I don't want to hurt her any more. feels like dying. I can't afford to take the time right now. feels like dying...

I always interpreted this to mean: This is the night before the main character leaves for college or Uni or to live in the big city, and her closest group of friends is staying behind in their small town. They all know it will never be the same when she leaves. They want to do something that will bind themselves together forever, so they conduct this series of rituals they read about in an old witchcraft book they got from the local library. They stay up all night and go wild, eventually taking her to the bus stop to say goodbye.

Just beautiful

Fym this video is beautiful this is gross asf but the music is nice

NYce LAugh 😂

This track fucks my shit up

The ending talks to me a lot

Maybe the video is like a group of people who have suffered (they're covered in injuries- maybe an illness, abuse, or a symbol for depression) and so are suicidal or dying for some other reason. The girl is writing something in the beginning, maybe a suicide note. Then they do the whole spit thing and she drinks it. Maybe she kills herself and her drinking their spit is like her taking a peace of them with her when she goes. Then she crawls through a white sheet which some see as a symbol of rebirth (maybe life after death?) and they see it as a good thing because she's escaped so they go outside and dance. Then they go see her off on a bus... maybe a symbol of seeing her off to somewhere better since her life was a hard one. Maybe? Anyway, love the song. Have no idea what the lyrics mean.

Why people hate the video?

I don't think they hate the video, but more like the auto tuning in James voice. I like it but in thinking that's why

Boring as hell, Lemmy Kilmister did so much better, fuck this song

Don't do drugs kids

I actually really like this video...

this is fucking beautiful

Ok, everyone who thinks the video is gross, please try just listening to the song without looking at or thinking about the video because it's actually a very nice song (and I think the video's pretty fucking gross too, tbh)

witches

no necesitaba un video...

I got headache after watching this./

i have seen some fucked up stuff in my life. but this was by far the Fuckest Upest !

MefilioDeAggelo really, this is nothing

Just speechless on that yuk

my favourite james blake song!

Your taste is shit

+3D1ofakind chill

+3D1ofakind my name is chef, poop.

3D1ofakind chill bro. How bout you close your eyes, and put on some headphones with the volume up and listen again

matthew cavanagh really it’s definitely good but I think whilhelm scream and forest fire and way better. Definitely in the top 10 though

Beacon don't fly too high

we can 

Don't tell me what to do

You meant bacon?

全く意味が分からない...

I nearly liked this, but then they all spat in something and then poured it into something else and I couldn't stop gipping.

Same here! At first I was like okay, ya, bit weird video, but not super weird. And then. Okay wtf, they spat into something and the girl started to drink it.

This seems to be some kind of ritual. To me it is strange too but still full of pure emotion. Imagine being that close to your friends. Best music video ever in my opnion

I still remember the first time ever hearing and watching this. It was the first time I heard of James Blake! I love this song! :) This is FALL to me. 

533 people are fucking insane

Bitch, people that don't even have a song career can do better then this

+3D1ofakind then do it

Strongly dislike vevo commercials

deliciosa <3 me  relaja 
la amo <3

me encanta siempre la eh escuchado <3<3<3<3<3

I don't know wtf I just watched... I like James Blake's music but his videos are out there sometimes. This "art" gets kind of lost sometimes I guess. Funny moment though: My friends younger brother (white, like 13) came in around the middle of the video and just shook his and said "white people". Had me rolling lol

I want a friendship like this i;

Im sure people will happily spit in a cup and watch you drink it as they NLP the life out of you, good times?!

you should join a cult then

Maybe i will ;-)

This closely resembles god spell the musical. The face painting, the leaving of the main one and the escape from civilization. Maybe that's a real connection?

It sounds like he's talking through a fucking fan. Nigga's got Dalek syndrome

I do prefer the live version of this, BUT still gets to me :)

Now we know what posh Britons do when they're not busy being Oxford shoo-ins.

I'm not trying to a ignorant person or anything but I can't get the message of this video. Can someone help and please explain. I usually can understand the deeper meaning of a lot of videos but I can't figure this one out

Sometimes things are meant to be not understood but just being appreciated the way they are. It's not being ignorant if you don't understand something, it's just that you have learned to put your mind aside and enjoy with your heart.

Looks like they all have cuts and bruises...that don't heal anymore (zombies?)
But now they heal themselves...I think that makes the goodby so heartbreaking...

Lindisfarne is a small island off the coast of England and is known as "Holy Island." It was important center for celtic christianity. So maybe this song, the name, and the video are a parellel or commentary about religion and the cult personality. Or maybe even just like how joining or being apart of a group of friends is cultish in a way. I don't know I'm not James

Its a satanic ritual or initiation.
-eating blood   
-cut open the shirt right there so a demon can go inside of her 

@Sawyer K This is probably the best answer that could be given to this question.

Amazing!!

Am I the only one that thinks that each of their small injuries is an outward representation of inner struggles that they may go through in their young lives? Dealing with perhaps being on what may be considered the "fringe" of society leads to deep emotional scars. Maybe they are dealing with interpersonal struggles, growing up in general? Perhaps the injuries are just representations of their fears and daily struggles. They find solace and companionship with each other in order to deal with these inner struggles.  A deeply moving piece.

@Gerald Brisley Excellent analysis...

Yes this one makes me cry too lol

The vibe of the video reminds me a lot of the movie Dogtooth. 

rookiee

Dafuq is goin on

gorgeous...<3

I would love to truly understand the meaning behind this meaning.  All of these young people have injuries so I wonder if they are all victims of domestic abuse or suicide.  I definitely see that see if being welcomed into an order of sorts.  But I wonder if she is being sent beyond or being sent to a place of safety.  Truly a beautiful song but I feel the meaning is sad, of something lost.

Trap for Cinderella...

saw this on ill conceived mascot the other day, such a good song

@cupidilidily yes :)

914 y 915 vuela con miiiillgo

hey! is there supposed to be distortion with the guitar?

Que asco!! Baba!!!

What the hell...

where can you get the sheet music for this???

this song is amazing when you're high

Doesn't Everyone Do This With Friends?

It's Just A Video Of Friends lol We Over Analyze Everything Today

one of my favourite songs but could someone tell me what in the blue hell this video was about

Love song I don't understand video

Closed minds complaining about the saliva scene in 3...2..1 :P

Freaking bathsalts

Yak! I was eating.

Yeah fuck that saliva scene.

Nah.
His dad. And his mum.
I thank them.

I'm not in love with the video although i understand it to a degree, but James Blake is a dope artist. The feel of his music is so relaxing because it's soothing and his voice is smooth...even with the auto tune sound. I must admit, the spitting in the bowl and her drinking it was a bit much for me.

im goonna throwup she drunk their spit . i love the song though

I drink my mates saliva cause fuck you, that's why

I know exactly how you feel

Aaron Loughlin do you

The saliva scene is obviously an initiation of whatever they are as a group.

BITCH YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THIS SHIT IS ABOUT

that was disgusting, love thefeel of this tune though.

I'm probably missing the point here but.....what's with the saliva scene??

Ejekt july 2013!! Athens!!

James Blake.....is the definition of amazing

Панки хой.

Wow that was weird, can someone please explains the message/meaning behind this?

FOR MONTHS I was singing to myself "we can all fly too high" and I thought it was some meditation on icarus and how we push ourselves too far and burn out. well "beacon, don't fly too high" could have something to do with that.
