Here's another entry from our Hopes And Fears video contest - this one is from Liouba Zhiltsova in Moscow, Russia. As Liouba says, "It's about friendship, making mistakes and gaining forgiveness. I always thought of the song Bend And Break as a song about overcoming hard times and eventually getting to the bright side of life." It's a great effort for a first-time video - with a really nice storyline.

By the way, please remember that the videos we're showing are not necessarily the winners, they're just ones which have caught our eye which we think you might like to see. If your video hasn't been shown yet, that doesn't mean it isn't in with a chance of winning!

Don't forget, you have until November 9th to make your videos for:

- Bend And Break
- We Might As Well Be Strangers
- Your Eyes Open
- She Has No Time
- Can't Stop Now
- Sunshine
- Untitled 1
- Snowed Under

When you have, please upload it to Vimeo or YouTube and send the link to videos@keanemusic.com. Only one video per person, please.

One winner will be picked for each of the eight songs. We will then select one overall winner who will win a deluxe Hopes And Fears bundle featuring a double CD, a T-shirt and a limited edition signed poster. The seven other song winners will each receive a signed copy of the Hopes And Fears Deluxe Edition double CD.

Thanks to everyone who's helped make this competition such a success!

Haha, don't blame me, but I think your video was very funny, ecspeccialy when you laughed after you found the balloon and jumped in in the air! :D

Denislavia, salut! I'm sorry about the gas but it's not the fault of the Russian government. If Ukraine payed for the gas Russia supplies it with there would be no problems. Economical situation is not the best in Ukraine now and we hope that it will improve and nobody will freeze. I'm sure there must be a good end to this gas problem. A bientôt!

Friendship is wonderful until your friend STEALS your boy/girl friend........... sorry. As true as it is.

Posted by Anonymfreddie on 2009-11-06 12:49:24

This is a very sweet video, I liked the storyline and it reflected the songs lyrics really well. Thank you. x

I think, the true Friendship is the purest of all relationships, so it is rare and precious. Love is about the body, the passion and a personal belongings. And we can lose it in a wink of an eye. That´s why I have a deep distrust of love. "A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success." In conclusion , these words musicalized a young slov. singer and I like it, " Don´t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don´t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."/A.Camus/ have a very nice a gloomy autumnal weekend, " May the light of your soul guide you",

Hope everything is good in your world.Have an awesome weekend ! Lots of love,Rachel ღ
