Bastille, Alessia Cara - Another Place (Official Music Video) 

Their voices go together sooo nicely. This is so fuckin good

His voice is really a damn gift and a blessing for those who really listen to him.

I’m sad this song is not getting the attentions it deserves

I know it's been said before, but Bastille are criminally underrated.

The crack in the wall is almost like his feelings are trying to seep through but they “only ever wanted one thing from this” loving the symbolisms of the video, perfect bastille essence too

Alessia Cara is a diamond of music industry, bye.

"Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away" Best lyrics from this song.

Feeling bad for those unlucky people who hasn't listen this song yet

That huge shot of Kyle tho. What a masterpiece

*We got Alessia and Dan singing together, I can die peacefully and happy now*

Again here 2024 ❤

If you're here, you have a good taste in music. So be Happy!

And this is how overthinking looks like

2:51 woody is my mum knocking at the door trying to wake me up on a school morning

I just want to say his music videos are so beautiful and deep. This music video represents to me he is trapped inside his head with his ex lover on his mind. The black liquid that keeps pouring out of the wall is his broken heart that he tries to cover up but can’t. He is going insane in his mind and at the end when he starts covering the window with the black liquid his him putting up walls so that he might never get hurt again

THIS IS REAL?! The fact that two music entities respect each other's work to the point they collab makes me feel so happy. It's like when a friend gets along with another one! Bastille's Bad Blood and Alessia Cara's Miss Know it All are one of my favorite albums. They both has such color and relatability to their work!

This is the type of song that people will be listening to even after 10 years

I feel like I actually caught on quite quickly to what the video was about: The person is inside their head and the subjective world in which every individual's mind takes. This girl comes into his life and he starts to have feelings toward her, he tries to patch these up, he doesn't want them, but soon, they overwhelm his mind, all the imagery that then pops up is the subsequent chaos which his mind undergoes in light of his feelings. That's my take after watching it once.

damn dan's got this self isolation thing down before everything when to shit. seriously though, stay safe guys.

The fact that this can be interpreted into so many things is just mind blowing. Romance, Politics and so many more 🤯 We need more music like this. It's So deep

I feel like the video gives the vibe that we're all trying to stay safe as houses within our spheres, trying to ignore the goings on outside (forest fires, nuclear missiles, natural disasters) but that it's always going to seep through in the end, and we see a different side of ourselves when confronted with this (the two Dan's in the reflection of the blood)? Dan Sand coming out of his hands also gave the impression that our time is running out no matter how much we try to hide from what's ultimately going to end up as humanity's doom if nothing is done, our body clocks are running out. My interpretation anyway!

I think the video represents a fear of vulnerability, of letting emotions spill over and having them visible to everyone peering in. His world is falling apart and the everyone is watching, especially people close to him, and its terrifying. Everyone outside the windows is also so much larger than his little room, which adds to the feeling of powerlessness. He doesn't want to admit that things are wrong, not even to himself. He won't accept the troubles without or within. He's trying to patch up his holes to stop them from showing and paints up the windows to his soul. The only time he quietly lets his feelings out is when he's alone, letting the sand spill from his hands without any attempt to stop it (possibly eluding to s-lf h-rm, but not necessarily physical).

Damn, their voices sound SO good together

Alessia is SO special, she's soooooo very great

Best album of 2019!

THE LYRICS YOURE LOOKING FOR ‼️ [Verse 1: Dan Smith] I am bound to you with a tie that we cannot break With a night that we can't replace I'm lost but found with you in a bed that we'll never make It's a feeling we always chase [Pre-Chorus: Dan Smith] I could write a book about the things that you said to me on the pillow And the way you think and how you make me feel You can fill my mind and move my body with the fiction, fantasies Just call this what it is, we don't pretend it's real [Chorus: Dan Smith] So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Post-Chorus: Dan Smith] Mmm, in another time And in another place Verse 2: Alessia Cara] I hate that you know You can make me feel so small Can't stop myself from falling back into you We get so close then you pull yourself away Maybe we just need a saving Come save me [Pre-Chorus: Alessia Cara] I could write a book about the things that you said to me on the pillow And the way you think and how you make me feel You can fill my mind and move my body with the fiction, fantasies Just call this what it is, we don't pretend it's real [Chorus: Dan Smith & Alessia Cara] So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Bridge: Dan Smith & Alessia Cara] It felt like something special but it never felt like love Wonder what we could be living in another life Catch us in the mirror and it looks a lot like love Then you stop me talking as you kiss me from above [Chorus: Dan Smith & Alessia Cara] So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Outro: Dan Smith & Alessia Cara] Mmm, yeah In another time And in another place

This music makes me feel heartbreak, overthinking and sexy all at the same time.

Yesssss

The other place where Dan wishes to live with his one night stand partner, mentioned in the lyrics, becomes - more universally speaking - his safety bubble, one where he hides from all the bad things happening in the world. The fact that this bubble is artificial can be first detected by the surreal placement of the furniture in the room which makes us question its legitimacy. Also, in one of the first shots, we see an eclipse taking place outside the window, which is another symbol for escapism. While Dan is trying to detach himself from reality, Alessia, Woody, Kyle and Will are bursting into his bubble - acting in an almost prophetic way: shaking him, trying to wake him up with the truth and making him face what he’s avoiding (personal, political and environmental catastrophes). He nevertheless attempts at savaging this bubble he created, to the point where he puts a band-aid on the crack on the wall (“do it with the plaster”, anyone?), paints the windows black (“don’t paint wonderful lies on me that wash away”); but ultimately is bombarded with reality which filters from every crack. I may be reaching with this one, but does anyone else see the shape of a heart in the crack that Dan tries to mend with duck-tape (min 1:05 and 1:06)? So if we assume the black liquid to be the harsh Truth, we can infer that such Truth seeps in through the heart in the form of Love - which is the basic premise of the song? This video is the definition of the concept behind Doom Days - taking the blue pill, closing the curtain, choosing to escape - but at the same time shows how impossible it is to completely detach oneself from the real world, no matter how terrible it is. I love it.

I felt I was in that room. Right there. Trying to breathe and stay calm.

[Verse 1: Dan Smith] I am bound to you with a tie that we cannot break With a night that we can't replace I'm lost but found with you in a bed that we'll never make It's a feeling we always chase [Pre-Chorus: Dan Smith] I could write a book about the things that you said to me on the pillow And the way you think and how you make me feel You can fill my mind and move my body with the fiction, fantasies Just call this what it is, we don't pretend it's real [Chorus: Dan Smith] So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been?

Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Outro: Dan Smith & Alessia Cara] Mmm, yeah In another time And in another place Hope you guys love it ❤️😘

Please don't let Tiktok know this song....My comfort song

The collab I never thought I needed

For me, this "room" represents his life and his feelings, he can not stand the outside world any more with recent events like wars, etc.. But the cracks in the wall represents his feelings towards a person (Alessia here), the wounds he can feel due to words or a break. That's what i think, anyway, this music and this video clip are a work of art. ( Sorry for my bad english i'm french).

So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away

*someday someone will find this comment* . . 👇 *God bless you and stay safe. You are a smart and awesome person.*

The first music Video by Bastille i can understand. Thats great

Bastille and Alessia Cara together? We have been blessed. ❤️

Finally the Bastille beat I love!!! And with Alessia... Pure bliss!

I am bound to you with a tie that we cannot break With a night that we can't replace I'm lost but found with you in a bed that we'll never make It's a feeling we always chase I could write a book about the things that you said to me on the pillow And the way you think and how you make me feel You can fill my mind and move my body with the fiction, fantasies Just call this what it is, we don't pretend it's real So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Mmm, in another time And in another place [Alessia Cara:] I hate that you know that you could make me feel so small Can't stop myself from falling back into you We get so close and you pull yourself away Maybe we just needed saving, come save me I could write a book about the things that you said to me on the pillow And the way you think and how you make me feel You can fill my mind and move my body with the fiction, fantasies Just call this what it is, we don't pretend it's real [Both:] So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Alessia Cara:] It felt like something special but it never felt like love [Bastille:] Wonder what we could be living in another life [Alessia Cara:] Catch us in the mirror and it looks a lot like love [Bastille:] Then you stop me talking as you kiss me from above [Both:] So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Alessia Cara:] Oh [Bastille:] Yeah, yeah [Alessia Cara:] In another time [Bastille:] And in another place

I love how honest and raw the experiences are in the lyrics and how it comes across in Dan’s voice. Genuine songwriting talent. It doesn’t use the gimmicks or blatancy found in a lot of pop songs talking about the same situations. Always original, always real.

0:54 me trying to fix all my problems

I’ve been addicted to this song 😔

Love the lyrics. We’ve all felt that before. “What could we have been...in another time and place...”

Never clicked so fast in my life :>

I will repeat myself from the Bad Decisions video: Dan should be an actor. Gosh, he does so well.

This song is adsoluty fantastic .... This duo deserved more !

Bastille + Alessia Cara = Perfect Song!!

This band should have more recognition

The effects are so realistic

Love this!!

*This deserves atleast 500M views!!*

Oh, I like this. I love Bastille's music and Alessia Cara's music, so this is amazing

Who thinks this is one of the best songs of doom days. Like if u agree (EDIT) It isnt my favourite song out all of Bastille's songs but I do like it (All their other songs are AMAZING too and I love bastille any way they are)

I always make sure to listen to the original/solo version of a song before the version with a featured artist. I like to hear it unchanged first, I guess. I tend to prefer the original version more but... god those HARMONIES! Alessia makes the song sound so much fuller, I love it. This song was one of my faves already, but now it might be my number one.

I am feeling bad for those who doesn't know this song....

This collab came unexpected but I love it

This video is actually art!

"Another Place" [Bastille:] I am bound to you with a tie that we cannot break With a night that we can't replace I'm lost but found with you in a bed that we'll never make It's a feeling we always chase I could write a book about the things that you said to me on the pillow And the way you think and how you make me feel You can fill my mind and move my body with the fiction, fantasies Just call this what it is, we don't pretend it's real So don't make promises to me that you're gonna break We only ever wanted one thing from this Don't paint wonderful lies on me that wash away We only ever wanted one thing from this Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been?

Oh, in another place In another time, what could we have been? [Alessia Cara:] Oh [Bastille:] Yeah, yeah [Alessia Cara:] In another time [Bastille:] And in another place

Seeing Alessia was officially the best moment of my life

It's truly magic when you are able to watch extremely talented people in just one place. Guys you're amazing. Keep doing music Bastille and Alessia are the best! 💛❤️😍

So Dan won't grow his hair out but will grow his beard more😭❤️😩

Alessia Cara is just so beautiful and her voice with Dan's is so complimentary! Queen tings

When two people are so heartbroken that they are together because they feel better that way and are afraid to fall in love for each other because it would be too painful to be broken again. Who never?

This may be my favorite video now. Here's some interpretations that may be entirely "wrong", but as a person that works with conceptual photography, I know that no interpretation is wrong. In fact, every thought and possibility is right. It's obvious here that these two people were in a relationship, and it didn't work out, possibly for a variety of reasons. He is upset about it, sitting there, wishing she could see what it has done to him, and how it makes him feel. Every person we meet becomes a part of us. She was a part of him. He can see and feel bits and pieces of what he has become from her, falling away. He can't stop thinking about her, his feelings are pouring in through the walls. However, this black ink may symbolize feelings for a new person. He doesn't want them. Either he is stuck on her, or simply wants to be on his own. In the end, he uses the new relationship to cover up the feeling that she is watching him. Maybe it is that new relationship that will fix him. He takes a chance, and lets them in, uses them to cover up the windows, ultimately shutting off that feeling of being watched, and may finally be able to move on. The ink could also represent how he feels about her and their relationship. The tears, the pain, the heartbreak, we try to stop feeling these emotions, we try to cover it up, maybe even attempt to ignore it. It almost never works: He gives up, succumbing to the dark wave of heartbreak. We can see him distraught, in a panic like state, with the emotions staining him, and the sheets of the bed. This is the realization point. Where you finally become aware of all that has ended, allowing yourself to feel. It is a horrible yet necessary act. He recovers, and takes his emotions and acceptance to heal, covering up the constant thought of her, and moves on. The ink may stain, but it is now a part of you. Your experiences make you who you are. Another scenario may be that he has taken those emotions (the black ink) and in a panic decides to black out the existence of her, and in the future, denying that they were ever together, and possibly denying he even knew her. She stays on the outside, never knowing anything about him anymore. All she has are memories of what they used to be, suddenly cut off by a relationship ending, and denial. The covering of the windows could ALSO mean that he decides to hide how he feels on the inside (the room that he is in) and stays in his mind, obsessing over what could have been, which is what the whole song is about. Logically this would be the most accurate to the song, hence his lyrics "In another place, what could we have been." Additional interpretations: We see Woody, Kyle, and Will all peeking in. These are his friends, checking in on him, trying to distract him from her, trying to cheer him up. When Kyle sings along it may represent empathy, maybe he knows how Dan feels. They don't know for sure what's happening on the inside. They just want to make sure he is okay. 2:50 Woody is banging on the window, "Dan get out of there! Get back to reality!" We all get to a point where we are so messed up from a heartbreak, a tragedy, a mental illness, that we stop helping ourselves. We get to a certain point where we begin to feel content in our own sadness. We put down our tools and give up, too tired to fight. Sometimes it's not even about giving up, but you begin to feel as if there is no way out, and start to be completely fine with ignoring reality, and living inside your own mind. Content, we feel. Not happy, but okay with living inside a deep dark hole of despair.

Great video, beautiful visuals. The addition is only "eh" for me, but I'm sure fans of Alessia Cara will like it.

0:54 - me dealing with my problems

Hope this song gets the award for best song of 2k19

¿Dónde están los latinoamericanos con gustos así? (México presente wuuu 🇲🇽🤘)

that was SO good, dan, your best acting to date

I think the video represents the heart of him: The holes in the wall means the hurts that him suffering for the another person at all.

This song is too amazing that i can't resist myself from replaying it

Who else came straight from the livestream?

Good lord, this video is beautiful. It reminds me of several horror anthologies. Alessia’s part is a great addition to an already amazing song. 🖤

Will and Kyle: *curiously look inside* Woody: *aggressively bangs on the window* 😂😂

Imagine how many great relationships could've turn right if they didn't start from "we only ever wanted one thing from this"...

Wow, the heartbreak was strong on this one. Loved it!!

Lovely! Any song by Bastille is like a christmas present for my ears.

Why is Bastille so underrated?

What a great emotional multidimensional Song! Love it really much! Indeed in another time and in antoher place what could we have been.....it's a motto

here after dan and alessia's ig live 🥰

This is BEAUTIFUL and Alessia adds so much to this song! It feels like this song was always meant for 2 voices and I just love this so much ❤️

Bastille has a song for every sad moment of my life

This song gives me goosebumps every single time. I just cant handle the feeling

I heard them play this live in Toronto and I'm so happy they did a collab, it's fantastic 😍

That feeling when you cannot hide the pain in just one place.

Love how they as well added the rest of the band members.

why is dan laying down in all the recent videos? the bed in another place, the couch in those nights, the grass in joy... is it a coincidence, or is there some deeper meaning behind it that's going over my head?

Beautiful. Bastille always delivers and Alessia is a wonderful addition to this song.
