Bastille - Glory (Official Music Video) 

Idk why but Bastille just got that vibe that makes me either wanna cry or get happy at the same time.

This is the kind of relationship/friendship I aspire to have 😍

Did anyone notice that when Dan said," I like my version better." The girl said ,"of what?." This video seems so mysteriously sad but so freaking good ...

so Pompeii gets half a billion views and this masterpiece doesn't get even half 10 million views 😭 the disrespect

this is the most normal bastille video i've ever seen

Dan succeeded in acting and still looked natural and cute omg help i cant breathe good job bae

This is probably my favourite Bastille's song. Maybe I liked it instantly because I simply couldn't describe what I felt when I listened to this song. I still can't do this

Glory is one of my favorite songs on Wild World and the video it's just so beautiful, i don't know it makes me feel genuinely happy, but sad and nostalgic at the same time... I know pretty much their entire discography has this effect, but glory is special to me for some reason

Bastille + Headphones = Paradise

DAN'S VOICE IS HEAVEN

I love this video, the girl is so naturally beautiful and not sexualised in the slightest and the music fits so well ❤❤

I've seen other people comment things mentioned in this theory, too, I just don't remember what their names were. 0:08 plane flies off as they watch. Symbolizing other people’s careers taking off, while they’re talking/thinking about what’s already happened. 0:21 She’s reaching for the bottle: she’s thinking about them and what they’ve done again? 0:25 Dan throws his phone out of the window, so he can’t communicate with anybody else but her. Meaning he died and she’s the only one who ‘talks’ to him, because she still thinks about him and what they’ve done. 0:31lightning, perhaps symbolizing his death (or a storm he could have died in in Bad Blood). 0:34 they enter through a door above which it says ‘exit’, as if they (or only Dan) have already ‘exited’ life and are now coming back to reflect on it. 0:37 While she dances and is seen by the people in the bar, Dan stays in a dark corner on his own. This could symbolize his death: people see her but not him. Also, she wears a wig, hiding her real hair and thus a part of herself. This could be a symbol for her hiding that she’s still thinking about Dan. 0:36 also, on the sign it says ‘Lite’, as in ‘light’, as in ‘heaven. That one’s a stretch. 0:52 He nicks a car. If he already knew he’d die, he wouldn’t care about getting into trouble for stealing. 1:00 There’s a red car on the roof, perhaps symbolizing a car crash in which he could have died (only Dan seems to notice it). Also, it reminds me of the red car in Donnie Darko, a movie Dan has said he’s seen (and loved), perhaps intentional, probably not.1:05 It shows the speed limit, because he’s died in a car crash? Also, there are mountains in the background, reminding me of Good Grief, which is about, well, grief. Maybe this symbolizes that he is going to die? 1:12: she says he ran into a lake with his clothes on. A reference to the Bad Blood video? Afterwards you can see that she didn’t jump with him, another Bad Blood reference? 1:27 She’s wearing yellow and blue clothing while she’s alone. This could represent fear, sadness, loneliness… 1:31 the first person they see outside of the car, who’s acting weird (dancing). I feel like this (together with the other people and the burning sign later in the video) could represent (political) shifts and changes that they ignore because they’re too busy having fun. Besides, she seems to notice it, but Dan doesn’t (because he’s dead?) 1:40 there’s the WWCOMS. Sign. It’s shown burning. Symbolizing people losing their faith in politicians and the media? Also, another red car. 1:48 the goths could be a reference to Flaws and the dog a reference to Laura Palmer. The girl’s wearing a hat saying ‘so goth I’m dead’ Dan seems to be the only one to notice them/react to them. He seems to be asking directions, as if they’re already dead and he soon will be, too. 2:00 reference to Oblivion? (probabely not, it just reminded me of it) 2:08 same wig, same dancing. Dan’s watching her from the dark, as if to say that thought he’s dead, he’s still ‘with her’.2:24 The old guy with the gun might represent death and they’re running from him. She’s pulling him with her, as if he’s already dead, but she doesn’t want to accept it or is in a way taking him back from death by thinking about him.2:29 another person outside (with a sign) 2:38 She wants to dance, he doesn’t (because he’s dead, or just because he’s too awkward?)2:54 ‘you slept through all the good bits’ because he’s dead, can sort of ‘watch over her’ when she sleeps (kinda creepy)?2:59 He doesn’t seem to notice the sign but she does. Nonetheless they keep driving, symbolizing them ignoring what’s going on around them (politically). Also, another red car.3:11 now they’re dancing together and she’s wearing the pink wig, as if to say that no matter what happens, she keeps thinking about him3:12 she’s sad because of his death, thinking about him (looking at the camera) is the only thing that can cheer her up3:45 reminds me of Good Grief 3:52 more lightning, symbolizing his death?3:57 just find it funny that first he says the wig’s (yellow) blonde and she says it’s pink now with the sky the same thing happens.4:05 the mountain might symbolize a struggle: they’re able to overcome it, but almost immediately another problem surfaces (his death?)4;23 another red, wrecked car 4:24 more lightning4:27 and yet another person acting weird 4:40 she’s sad about his death? Also, on Instagram there’s a picture of Dan alone on the car (because he’s dead?) I think I might have spent too much time on this

Oh my god. BASTILLE. I'M CRYING IT IS PERFECT

THIS IS GLORIOUS

If you are here in 2021, you are a LIVING LEGEND!

Dan is dancing, his name is Dan Smith, so his style of dancing is the Dance Myth.

Usually, Bastille music videos are a new and interesting take on the song, which I love, but I swear this video is exactly how I pictured it when I listened to the song.

How much do I have to pay to see the full video of Dan in the dance class?

The entire time I was sitting there going "something bad is gunna happen; that's classic Bastille" but it didn't ! It was a beautiful and meaningful video ! Good going, boys ! ❤️

How does Bastille contain so much brilliance? The lyrics, the melodies, the videos, the concepts... every time you create something new I fall in love all over again. Every time I rewatch/listen to a masterpiece, it's the feeling of being known.

I can't believe how perfectly this video matches what I see in my head every time I hear this song. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CANT DEAL OH MY GOD

As much as I've already established that I'm in love with Dan, this song and this music video, I think I am also quite in love with the girl in this! She's so pretty and seems fun!

"Stop looking up for heaven, waiting to be buried" Oh gosh, that's beautifully depressing

Times will never be like 2015-2018… it was just so free.

DAN IS DANCING

this is so aesthetically beautiful and cute

I'm addicted to those string parts!!!! I've honestly gotten into Bastille because the combination of angelic vocals along with intricately rhythmic instrumentals plus meaningful music videos, just make them so perfect to listen to!!!!

But if you close your eyes...

THIS DESERVES ALL THE TRAUMATIZING DAN MADE US GO THROUGH TBH. I'M BLESSED

I don't know why I'm crying, but oh my god this is so perfectly done thank you

about 10 years ago my dad had taken me and my siblings to the airport to go pick up my mom who was coming back from a trip. we had left early so we waited in the parking lot for a while and were just watching the planes waiting for hers to land, and i remember sitting in the front seat listening to Bastille while we were there and just loving every second of it. something about being there and listening to their music just felt perfect, and i remember thinking to myself that someday i wanted to go back there and do the same thing, just sit there watching the planes and listening to music. and then a few years later they released this video and all of those memories came flooding back…. this song was really special to me for a while because of a person i don’t talk to anymore, and this was always something we talked about doing. even after our relationship ended and we were just friends she promised me we would still do it someday. i don’t know that it’ll ever happen, but i at least hope that person is doing well and knows how much of a positive impact they had on my life. even if the way our friendship ended was shitty and a lot of drama within our friend group got in the way of things, something that will never change is how important those conversations were to me at the time. i was terrified of the future but thinking about doing this again someday, possibly with her, really kept me going for a while. so much in my life has changed since then and i’m happy with how far i’ve come but that’s still a memory i hold onto thanks to this song and this band❤️

ive watched this so many times now but it never gets old UGH please please please.. never change

I love it, absolutely love it! This is the first time we see Dan through a romantic lens in one of their videos! Plus the videography makes you long for something nostalgic. You feel like you're living these experiences in the relationship, as well!

well dan's acting skills have significantly improved ;)

Two loving people sharing the same story from other, their very own perspectives. That feeling they feel is the same. That's it, as simple as great: everyone has got it's own story to tell. I love it❤️

this video made me feel nostalgic and bittersweet. i didn't want it to end. absolutely beautiful, fits the song (one of my favorites by bastille) perfectly. thank you for making such amazing music and wonderful visuals to go with it. you make life a little better.

Was half expecting this just to be a series of Polaroids with glory playing in the background

idk who's more beautiful, Dan or that gorgeous lady

Why is this the most underrated song ever?

all those small things and memories and talks... it's too lovely and istg Dan is the cutest jelly bean ever

I NEVER CLICKED SO FAST 38 SECONDS MY LIFE

Okay yes this is fucking perfect, it fits the song so well and Dan looks so adorable in this

I think this is one of those songs where you just feel infinite

Am I the only one who thinks this is a happy/positive song? Is it because I never watch the video? I think it's about how life seems small and meaningless looking at the universe, but when she took his hand, he realized she is greater than the universe and there is no looking up to heaven, because it's there with her. I also often take the looking up as a metaphor for dreaming. However it seems like the singer doesn't often believe that those dreams can come true. But dreaming also seems pointless in a way, because she is everything he needs.

It felt like I just watched a whole movie, love it!

Current mood: Dan dropping the phone out of the car window

I feel like this song/video is about the comfort of made up memories and nostalgia. Very few of us will have gone on an awesome road trip like in the video but we all feel nostalgic.

2:12 my favorite part 😂

I'm in this!! I'm in the tie-dye at 2:57. so much fun. ♡

She's the luckiest girl in this wild world

This is video is so cute and perfect, IM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING (also not to mention this is one of my favourite songs on the album)

Happy Birthday Glory ❤️

I think all of us want to see more of Dan dancing lbs

bastille are so underrated man 😭 these guys deserve to be big!

Wow... just wow... pompeii was my first favorite song... and now you just nailed it...

This is perfect for people who don’t like Emo music but need dark music to express themselves. Bastille does that perfectly, along with the amazing music videos.

Bastille don't create music, they create art

I WAS REFRESHING SO MANY TIMES FOR THIS

Recently got a shirt that says "you make me laugh until I die, can you think of a better way to choke" vibe

The bridge kills me every time. It's so beautiful.

00:00 I LOVE THIS VIDEO

As a Bastille fan I hope this song becomes as big as some of their larger hits they deserve all the recognition in the world. They are amazingly talented and are lyrically flawless. I love their music so much.

Most underrated song ever 🖤 🖤

why have i never payed so much attention to them! even after their hits Pompeii >.< They are such phenomenal band. COME ON RADIO!! WHERE R THEIR SONGS

I'M CRYING WTF. IT'S SO CUTE SEEING DAN LIKE THIS WITH SOMEONE LOL

FYI: The scenes at the airport are Dallas Love Field, the town scenes are in Ferris, TX, and the desert shots are somewhere in West Texas.

Amazing how this video came out 2 years ago and I still smile like an Idiot while watching it... The song and the video just make me feel really happy.

This is the perfect mixture of nostalgia for what was and a longing for the adventures that could be

The fact that Dan appeared in the video makes me so happy.

oh my God, a Bastille music video with Bastille actually in it?!

this video deserves billions of views

I love how recognizable and unique Dan's voice is😍

Bastille kicks you in the teeth when you are least expecting.

Guys what if Good Grief is actually just a story from Dan's childhood that he tells to her but he says it differently every time that's why it gets so weird and everything is all mixed😱 the music video I mean

First time looking at the clip. And wow. What a fantastic one. It gives another dimension to the music. Bastille you never stop surprising me.

MUSICAL AND FILM GENIUSES?! Bastille never fails to inspire.

OMG! Never see Dan like this before 😍

THE ANCHOR VIDEO NEXT WOULD BE THE DEATH OF ME

Everyone who doesn’t know or like bastille just needs to hear this song

They’re videos are such masterpieces. Everything in there has meaning. All their music videos are really mind boggling and make you think, I wish more modern musicians put that much meaning into their music.

"I don't like being in my own videos" Well Dan we love it when you are!

the vibe is the exact same i imagined when i first heard the song i love this video

years passed and I still love this song!

This video gets me every time. The happiness and love is beautiful and what every one dreams, and deserves

Bastille does it again.. always so creative and well executed. Truly the best artists

Going on a road trip with Dan.. now that's looking up to heaven.

Listening to this masterpiece deep in the corners of the African night feels like I'm listening to the perfect gloomy day winds.

The song was already perfect and this video made it even better! It almost felt like I was watching a movie, so beautiful ❤❤

This is the most beautiful thing I ever saw

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE SONG ON THE ALBUM! I NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO QUICKLY IN MY LIFE!

Me: see my dad Also me: BuT iF yOo cLose yOUr Eye s

i don't know why but the music video makes me want to cry. It got me melancholic. It reminds me of my boyfriend, oh only God knows how much I want to seek adventures with him.

this is the kind of perfectly imperfect relationship i aspire to be in. also this is what we should be studyin in school

great video...

where i can buy Dan like this?

an exquisite video for a gorgeous song. damn

I was like "oh shit is this going to be the one Bastille video that makes sense" then the sign caught on fire and those random people showed up in the car and was like "oh okay"

as usual there are weird people and death omens. nice job, Bastille, nice job

Best meme material.

I want to relive the wild world era so bad
