FACT - 'Behind A Smile' 

2022 and this song is still legendary. I will always come back. I will always spread the word.

Listening still in 2021, gutted this isnt officially on spotify after all these years

It's bittersweet how this song means so much so many years later.

I'm so sad that they're disbanded, No band gonna make such a masterpiece for hard rock music universe like them.

7 years later and this song still fucks me up

I will love FACT forever :') hope they get back together one day

2023 and I still circle back to this song. I was a teen when I first heard it

A knock on my door disturbs my dream* I'm confused by your sudden farewell The bonds between us are broken It's happened suddenly Nothing left for me There are a thousand things I need to tell you And all regrets in mind We went through some hard times together But now is the time to say goodbye I know what happened and I can't take it Telling myself there is nothing I can do But I don't wanna say goodbye I turn my eyes to you with a fake smile I always promised to come back here Although I never wanted to go back I don't think I can hurt for so long It's happened suddenly I know what happened and I can't take it Telling myself there is nothing I can do But I don't wanna say goodbye I turn my eyes to you with a fake smile We are set free Destined to go separate ways We've already gone too far I smell your perfume now everywhere I go I know what happened and I can't take it Telling myself there is nothing I can do But I don't wanna say goodbye I turn my eyes to you with a fake smile

Am I the only one who would watch this if they made this into a legit anime?

This tells a better revenged story in 4 minutes than most hollywood films get near in 2 hours

That drummer is amazing....so amazing

I used to think this played out underwater. Love this song and video hits me right in the feels

Its 2020 and I STILL listen and watch this

End always gets me. "i don't wanna say goodbye"

この曲を聴くとなぜか冬を感じる。 冬に聞いたせいかな？なんか冬っぽい

It's been a long while since I was able to find this. But finally I have seen it again. Thanks to my friends who introduced me to the band all those years ago,

やっぱFACTはいいね

こんなドラマチックなMVはなかなかないね！曲はもちろんアニメの力が凄い。日本のアニメーターは世界一！ I haven't seen any MV like this! Song is cool for sure but the power of animation is so strong. Japanese animator is the best!

Omgomgomg forgot how much I love FACT ♥

I love Afro Samurai, but I LOVE this even more! EPIC! Thanks!

I'm still listening 2019

this video totally made me cry...the sadness in his body language is palpable. Very well done!

I love this video, I truly wish more bands did animated music videos still... :'(

凄い切ない！エモーショナル🙁

Just that last moment when he is actually smiling himself is the icing on the cake.

could listen to this forever

This video is just awesome. I have been watching it over and over, I wish more bands would do stuff like this.

これ観てドキドキしてた中3思い出すなぁ~懐かしい

This video could either be a metaphor for the inner turmoil a man feels after a breakup or a mans epic struggle against supernatural demons who kidnapped him and fused a porcelain mask to his face after killing his new bride. I think it depends on how you want to look at it.

とてもかっこいいのに、とても切ない、、、、。

I can Just say EPIC!!!!!!

エモい。

Absolutely beautiful in so many ways ✨

Since seeing this video on scuzz the other night iv not been able to stop watching it

@TheAlexacaius when it all slows down, i feel like im being lifted, amazing band, amazing song

This song and all of their albums are on Apple Music. Just fyi 😊

I just had to come back and watch it again! This vid and song are seriously the best thing out right now!

Just one world : AMAZING

amazing song

すきすぎる

this is so damn awesome

I already knew the band and just want they come in France! The song is awesome but the video is so epic ! One of the best video clip ever!

incredible art-style and there's so much detail in this 4 min. love this music + video

Awesomeness personified through anime and amazing music

best fight scene i've seen in a long time! wish that was an actual anime :(

Шикарно

Omg...that was the most BADASS music video i've ever seen! And the song was just incredible! Consider the album bought!

THAT....WAS...AWESOME!!!

I love this music video, really cool animation.

なんだこれ、かっこよすぎるやん

Dat moment when you want to buy FACT's music, but don't live in the UK *cries*

The song also reminds me of Vincent from Final Fantasy VII and in Dirge of Cerberus. His life is exactly that entire video, except that he lived at the end :)

This should seriously be an anime series. All the music could be done by FACT.

This band is AWESOME FACT!!!!!!!!!

3:00 onwards is one of the most emotional parts to any song I've ever heard

This needs to be an actual anime series. Now. I'd watch it. Over and over.

i love this video they should make more like this

Every video they put out from now on should be in this anime series.

Animation level: MADHOUSE

hell yeah the song is goooood and the anime suit very well.

I love this. x)

So. Badass.

One of the best music videos i've ever seen, fucking BRILLIANT!

If FACT had an anime or manga......GOSH DANG!!! X3

this is so cool

感動ヤバ目切なさとカッコよさがｯｯｯ

最高COOOOOL

And THAT is how you make an awesome music video!

omg i cried T^T so touching...

Epic Song + Epic Anime = Epic Win

Wow.

love the vid and the song!

2:04 Yeah, that would pretty much scar you for life....

the best video ever

@gertjevis no he blocks with his good arm..look closley the stub of a arm is his left

Can you please release this on Spotify 🙏🏻

I wish this had more to it , amazing . for now i guess i just call that him " FACT ".

@ultimamarx12 Thats because its a music video. Music often comes out of speakers.

I always pictured this all going down under water for some reason

amazing vid they should make more like this

NOTICE how this all ties into the official "Rise" remix's video. At the end, clips from that video play, and the masks from that video were made for the place in this one. So epic. If anyone would like this song, please contact me via a RU-vid PM. =)

NOOO LOCO QUE FLASHERO!!! LIKE LIKE LIKE!!!!

FUCK! This is badass.

@SlipperTroll It already has been released in the US. Try looking in your local best buy for it, if you can't find it there try a hot topic. They sometimes carry music like this that can be hard to find. All else fails, to amazon! lol

I want more videos as this

Bien

Hahaha I can't stop laughin at that comment 'アフロサムライ' lmfao hahahaha xD that's 日本語 for afrosamurai xD hahaha FACT is an amazing band. I bought their self-titled album back when I was twelve. Too bad they didn't release their 'in a blink of an eye' album on Vagrant records, like they did their self-titled debut. Makes me wish I lived in Japan. Damn you hassle records

Does anyone else find it kickass that he defeats them with his shoelaces untied ? Haha

This was absolutely fucking stunning.

5years ago but still listening to this hahahaa

@OmgNotHimAgain Lol, i just saw it on scuzz too, I love scuzz, and i love this video!

@Raiuval no, its the official music vdieo for FACT's "Behind a Smile"

@ghostbees the shaman isnt the demon, if u read more closly the shaman was the one who rescued him from the YADA lord(the guy with eye on his stomach). The shaman never appeared in the music video.

The Feels ;(

who did the animation ?

Fuckn Awesome. Glad to have the 2nd album

This Band Rocks, FACT

@ILiickNiinjas I think its amazzing I can see them grow and improve :D.

i want to see this character in a fighting game.

@nightbringer1987 Oh, cool! Thank you for the information!
