I love this song!!!
ARGENTINA LOVES YOU
good job mohamed; ur video is the best^^ i just liiiiiiiiiiiike iiiit congrat from morocco
I like this video, it makes me cry!! congratulations from Mexico!!!
You're most welcome Abi, it's my pleasure to watch your video.
I never thought this song in that way, really touched me. Lovely artwork indeed, i liked it very much. Congrats Abi and greetings from Peru.
@vicichuela , @Mihajasoa : thank you :) both of you are really kind.
excellent video i loved it!!!Abi, i don´t think it was a bad decision, it is very Keane!!!! the simpler it is the purer is the meaning; if u understand what i mean. it´s the esence of keane and their songs. I bet it looks simple but it took a lot of hard work!!!good luck!!!kisses from Argentina!
Whether it was a bad decision or not I like the simplicity of the video. The repeatitive pattern only emphasizes the theme of 'unenventful and ordinary days', that is that nothing news is happening except the same things over and over again. I'm sure Abi can make a better video since he knows how to draw and he has great ideas, but it would be another video, with more details, and so far the simplicity has a poignant effect. Moreover 'Too much spoil the plot', as the saying goes.
@sammyria : I acknowledge your critic. I guess I could made this a better video, but I was trying to enter the contest as early as I can, so I ignore some details. Bad decision, I know.
Little repetative, the bloke walks past the same people so many times is he lost? Liked the pictures though.
Really touching, really deep, I felt at the edge of crying at the end of the video, I've never thought the lyrics of this song in this way... Very well done Muhammad, I wish you a lot of good luck:) Lots of love from Moshie xxx
I agree with you Abi. We can identify with Keane's songs. They deal with the human condition as Tim said once. We're in the same boat, as Tom said once, explaining what Hopes and Fears's songs were about. And Richard explained their songs are about issues they all discuss about. Thank you for caring guys.
Excellent!
Hi, its me again. I just wanna say that I read all your comments and I feeling so overwhelmed. I also amazed that the comments are coming from all this different places (Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, US, UK, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Sweden and others). So, thank you so very very much :). It is a proof that this particular song touch the people everywhere, salute to Keane for that. By the way, just call me Abi.
Muhammad! For me it's unbelievable - the video speeks right from my soul. For me, it is the best video since. I loved thje Snowed Under vodep best, and I still love it, but your video is the thing. I am searching for the man who is searching for me in your video... he walks around - I walk around - like you put it. And I feel like him and like the girl in one person. I'm so much waiting for him to talk to me. Or am I waiting for me to talk to him? At this moment I google his name ... I don't know a lot. I want to say a word when we pass by. "Hallo" or whatever. I see him every week - in our street or at university. And I know he is the one. But i really don't know how to handle these feelings. When we met by accident some month ago, after haven't met for tow weeks, I felt like I saw the most beautful thing or: person in my life. But I didn't want to show. And I'm too shy to say something. And now ... when I meet him now by accident, it suddenly seems so much withouth sense. Nothing happens and I'm too afraid to do something about it. Nothing makes sense. We look at each other and nothing will ever happen. Every evening I think about what I would do if we meet again. And everytime we pass by, I am paralysed and frightened of even smiling at him. Your video makes me thnk about this.
OMG... that video is really rally good you captivate the essencial of this beautiful song. I wish you the best ... excelent work.
i like this one, it's beautiful in it's simplicity x
Great video! Good luck Muhammad! ;)

Hey guys!! I loved this video, so touching... @Abi28: Congratulations!! You did a beautiful video :D Good luck!! HUGE HUGS FROM CHILE :)
Brilliant little film, beautifully drawn, and admirably simple in style, ending slightly off for me, though. Tom's voice is fabulous, isn't it?

Wow, this was really good. Very moving. It fits the song wonderfully. You're a truly talented artist!

Muhammad Abiyoso...keren banget!!!!!simple yet so touchy!!the best video so far!!!!!i really like it so very very much!!woooohooooo...JAYA INDONESIA!!! =D
Too awesome... High quality, congrats Muhammad !... I had already seen it but actually I did not want to breathe a single word because I was pretty sure that km couldn't miss it !... Until the ending, we're led to believe it's only the end of a relationship... But ultimately, we're horrified to find out it's maybe the end of a life... What fantastic work but what a sad story !... Huge thanks for this selecting that represents a huge work... Very Subtle Indeed♥!!!
simple and well done. It shows the essence of the song. Good job Muhammad! Greetings from Argentina
Wow this video is brilliant! It's so touching and beautiful... I can totally feel the song on it! Congratulations, this is the best video so far!

Really beautiful, good job- it's really a lovely interpretation of the song. I think Tim would like to know that his song about Tom went all the way to Indonesia---and back! Bravo.

*tears* this is so lovely, muhammad.
So simple and beautiful! love it! :)
Nice! I like it! :) And I haven't forgot to send my film in, it's just not ready yet! It's coming!!
Fantastic, Muhammad! The great drawings made the pure beauty of this song shine through, which made it even better to listen to and watch than only listening. At least that's my opinion.
It's the best video!!!!!!!!!!!!!, it must be because I like drawing. But it is a simple video that takes it and creates something beautiful. I would like to make a video but I don't know how he becomes one. Please make a songwriting contest. Keane are all in my life
brilliant you people are so clever you must be you are Keane fans.xxxx
As I said before, Muhammad, I really like your video, it does this beautiful song justice!
great job, Muhammad! You should be proud of it! Maybe you are already, hahhhaaaaaa
