Watch the steps
Get a drink, have a good time now
Welcome to paradise, paradise, paradise

The song is titled "Since I Left You" and after reading the title that's what you will think you're hearing in the chorus. The actual sample they are using is saying "Since I Met You" and you can hear that in the song once you know what you're looking for.

I think it's a beautiful metaphor about relationships that shows it's really about how you choose to see it (or hear it in this case). Whether you hear "Left you" to "Met You" can change the whole meaning of the song and you can trick your brain into thinking whichever one you want is the truth.

My beautiful daughter born April 21, this year. And was the most beautiful thing I could ever see. I played this song many times while she was inside mommy. I just loved her with my life. For my disgrace, life took her away from us. 9 days later she die, and I just hope, in the moment before getting in paradise, she was dancing like this. With no fear, and being happy, no pain no sadness. Just as happy as she was.
Love you Alessa, no matter where you are.

This video gets to me pretty hard, as I spent the first half of my life being, basically, that miner who stayed behind. I like to think I'm more like the other one nowadays, but I'll always be haunted by the opportunities not taken, the dreams unpursued.

Sure, I can chase some of 'em now, and I am. But others... well, sometimes there is such a thing as too late. If you're young and you have dreams, chase the shit out of them. This is the time to do it. Believe me.

There are no parallel universes were you made a different choice at that important moment or were you had a different life, the only universe there is this one. It's not that you have to break the chains of the past and regret, the chains are not even there. If you are fighting thoughts of regret know that your enemy is not real and you are free.

When the guy started turning to black and white at the end I started thinking "Oh no.." Then I saw the old man sitting in the chair talking about three days later they got him out and it was a straight gut punch. Immediately started tearing up and choking back sobs.

Do you have any more that you love? Because it might match what I used to listen to and struggle to find back (if it's not too much to ask of course).

It’s both, I think. And of using your talent, that may go hidden under what we do as work for money (maybe Arthur had a talent for dancing but never used it) and now he’s finally able to take those chances he never took in life, in the afterlife. Which kind of means (from this video) that anyone who doesn’t use their talent on earth will get to use it somehow in Paradise, being able to do something they love forever without worrying about having to make a living instead. It’s a comforting thought - that, say, someone who is dying is like “I wanted to be a painter, but I never got time because I worked a really hard job”, will get to paint all they want in paradise without worrying about having to work, if that makes sense.

I might as well throw my hat into the ring.

I think this can be interpreted as both men actually being close to death in the mine. When they open the hatch and everything goes to from black and white to color, that's the edge of heaven. Nothing but happiness, dancing, and fun times ahead. Arthur is much closer to death, so he's the one who goes in and starts dancing, ready to accept his end in his former life and a beginning in eternity. His friend is not as close to death as Arthur, so he doesn't start dancing right away. In the end, when he's banging on his tambourine, he is getting a bit closer, but it's been determined that it's not his time. That's why he goes back to black and white. He's being pulled back to earth. Arthur stays in color, meaning he's not going back. And in the end, before Arthur is engulfed in light, they look at each other and bid one last farewell.

Also, I think the woman that was sitting with Arthur's friend and smiling was the angels' way of telling him that Arthur was going to be alright from now on. He was going to be happy.

I feel like this video represents the final words between two friends. They are both trapped in the mine and the guy with the mustache, Arthur, is dying. (I'm pretty sure thats what the guy said his name was at the end.) His friend is talking him through it, trying to calm him down. Arthur talks about his life-long dream to be a dancer, and his friend tells him to imagine getting out of this place to live that dream. So they imagine it together as he passes. He imagines dancing with (possibly) the woman of his dreams and being applauded by the judges. The reason why I think his friend isn't dancing along is because he's having a hard time accepting Arthur's death. He just stays by his friend's side, holding a tambourine. When he stands and begins to play, I think it represents his friends love and acceptance.

That's what I got from it at least, and I'm sure I'm not the first one. Beautiful music video either way :-)

@Resident Elect I never did. I tried once more, after that post. Didn't get far, but was in my own thing.
Hope you're doing well. Find someone you can contact and connect with.
I just found out, after a bit of counseling, after my 4th child was born this past weekend, after being with my current wife for over 6yrs I have a pattern...and it was told but not in so much detail as today...as of the moment I'm typing this..that my pattern is EVERY year around this specific time, my birthday through Christmas I have the WORST attitude.
I.used to attach it to things like my ex wife who never really showed me attention enough on my birthday. Or that I was SO focused on my kids that I made December my time to make sure they had EVERYTHING and never really focused on myself.
But it was.broken down in so much detail to me today, that I can actually SEE that I was the problem the whole.time. even with my ex wife.
I was in training ing for iraq on my 21st. And in iraq, being ambushed on my 22nd as well as threatening situation on Christmas as well as remembering my buddy coming back.from a run broken down cause they were ambushed and lost a few, blood still on his face.
So a mix ofexcitement, anxiety and was totally my kids to.be so.happy as to not ever think of such horrible things or ANY horrible things..meaning everything has to be PERFECT or else I get angry....mad. feelingike a failure...but can only manifest those feelings into anger...and be so pissed about not finding my yard gloves, that I throw a chair into my storm window, shattering it to pieces. Shortcut through all the shit, but that's basi what happened.
Sometimes I feel like if I had so.eone who understood ALL the details of.the bullshit, and remember going through it, at the same time I did, then we could just bullshit, talk, relax, and I'd calm down a bit. Cause I cant release all.those feelings to my wife who never even had a fight in high school. Or my kids all younger than 15 who doesn't even know what real hardship is other than dealing with a father who will play all the sports and toys, but randomly shuts down for a few days or gets angry, breaks a few things possibly and leaves for a bit

@James Nasium That is true. In some ways, it depends on where you're living/how large of a community you're living in. I know from my time living in a small city that it may be more difficult to find people to share your love of music with, but they're out there. But as someone who grew up in a rural area/is currently stuck in one, it can get awful lonely in that respect.

It either says: “Since I left you, I found a world so blue”
Or: “Since I met you, I found a world so new”

I thought it said "I've found in the world something to do". And I always took it as an inspiration to venture myself into the world although being afraid.

6 months ago my younger brother got hit by a car and went into a coma fighting for his life, i was in a dream like state hoping for him to make it so i kinda got "dug out" as well when he eventually passed away 5 days later. to me the song is about losing a friend and wondering where he might have gone since the avalanches have in a previous song also refered to this mystery called "wherever we go". But that's the great thing about music, interpretation, we al see and hear the same but yet we all look at it differently.

This clip just for some reason breaks me. It sounds so cheerful but paired with visuals that have really sad vibes. It seems to be open for interpretation, and I think it's about death. Never fails to be extremely powerful.
