To Kill A King feat. Bastille & Friends - 'Choices' (Ralph's Balcony, Episode 20) 

It's 2023, still gives me the chills.

Every so often I remember this song and come back to relisten to it and it still blows me away every time. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years

I come back here on a regular basis. Just so fucking amazing.

I love how Will is jus awkwardly standing there, chilling in the back

How Dan smiles and jumps while he sings is so perfect. Seeing him happy makes me so happy too, sorry if it sounds weird...

2024 and this song and ensemble still finds its way back in my mind after 9 years from hearing this the first time

I love how Will is in the background wearing that long sleeved sweater lol

Imagine you are a neighbour, chilling in your garden because the weather is so nice and suddenly you hear this and just think: "what? are these my neighbours? since when do I have such talented neighbours?"

Whenever I watch this I am at peace.

“this is how the summer ends” happy 8th anniversary to this video :)

Ok. I love dan. I love bastille so much! But people please give ralph and to kill a king recognition here . Cos it is tkak's song and idea

Imagine just walking in a park, and you stumble upon this.

My only peeve with this video is that I don't get to watch it for the first time, again.

It's so cute when Dan smiles while he is singing

Imagine living next door and going to your garden and hearing this. Magnificent.

i’m crying.. I remember listening to this on repeat back in 5th grade.. now i’m graduating highschool. Becoming older is such a cruel thing.

that is a very big balcony XD

Hearing this song again after 3 or 4 years gives me chills. I remember those times, sitting alone in my room and singing:"This is how the summer ends"

this song will never grow old to me

10 years later i'm still here ❤

This is so amazing, I just wanna cry. Dan's smile throughout is just gorgeous, his dancing is the cutest... I just,..... This is seriously on repeat

cant stop rewatching this episode. and i still find it cute how Dan peeks into that small paper

Dan doesn’t know what to do with his hands without a microphone to hold. Can’t believe this was 9 years ago... just crazy. Such a great time in my life, this brings it all back. Simpler times.

This is all I want in life - jamming with friends and not having a care in the world

This is the type of video that makes me So Happy to just to be alive and be able to hear this song and i love how all these people can come together and make something so genuinely good like i dont even want to use the word "good" but i cant think of a good enough word to describe it

THIS IS SO FUCKING UNDERRATED IT'S UNBELIEVABLE....

I love that you can tell this is the kind of thing Dan lives for. There's no denying how passionate he is about what he does. You only smile like that when you are beyond in love with what you're doing. Man, I want to smile like that some day.

Still my favourite thing on RU-vid. So many great memories, thank you guys!

My old music teacher played the violin in this I'm very jealous

I love Will in this video...he just stands up and oohoohooh...so funny

Uploaded seven years ago. Still beautiful. 💖

God, this makes me so impossibly happy... Makes me think of those memories of peaceful, warm, summer days where a soft, cool breeze is blowing the white, puffy clouds around as I lie on the grass :):):)

Dan's little hand gestures as he sings, cutie :3 Ralph is an amazing singer and I'm so glad I found Emily! They sound amazing together... Dan's cute 'dancing' though x

The lovely Dan killed it again! With his unique voice and his incredible gravitation.

I'm crying because last time I heard and played this song, 4 of my closest family members were still alive, that includes my mom :( How time flies, please appreciate now, your life, you! yes you!

Dans Jumping is so freakinly cute, I love the song sooo much :) Did anyone else notice Will in the background standing around and being very serious? He looks a little bit lost, but hes so perf though

4:26 when dan looks at the girl an smiles awwwwwwwwwwwww :)

its been eight years im still here

This is one of these songs that are not very well-known; I just love them in that regard because they are those little gems in this heap of ill-inspired songs:D

This video and its comment section is just free serotonin, purely good vibes and everyone having a good time :)

Everyone looks so young and cheerful , i'm cryinggg

that's a fantastic example for how music can connect people. Just incredible!

Does anyone else find it really cute when Dan looks at the camera at 3:04

I've been coming back to this song at the end of the summer for the last two or so years. This year I was busy and couldn't listen to it before the summer ended, but I'm here now. Hopefully next year will be different.

Oh my god this is seriously so beautiful. Like i honestly can't get over how incredible this is. And Dan dances so cute c;

My annual return to this masterpiece!

Can’t believe I heard this for the first time almost 10 years ago.

this was magic. seeing people smiling whilst playing music makes me smile :*)

This song saved my life and when I listen to it now it brings back so many memories

Watching and listening to this again, it's crazy that's it's been 7 years

This is how happiness sounds like

4:37 is one of the best bits aww!

Dan Smith is the cutest

I love this so much and I've have watched it loads but this is the first time I've noticed Dan has a piece of paper with the lyrics on bless him, but that doesn't really matter because this gets better everytime i watch it!!

This is beautiful. Just found it randomly, and I love it!

This is one of the best live performances ever. So incredibly beautiful and touching... I especially love Dan's part, his moves are just perfect to me and his voice is the most perfect thing in the whole world.

Can someone look at Daniel because he looks so dam happy... OMG.

I'm loving the barefoot trombone player. Along with every other person and thing in this video.

I'm remembering times where I spent hours finding new music

I only heard this the day before yesterday and it's all I've been listening to, nonstop. I'm in a bit of a rough place right now and I don't really need something to help me feel better, but just something to put me at peace, and that's what this song does for me, it puts me at peace. When I first listened to it, I thought it was kinda a long song, but now it's nowhere near long enough.

The look at 4:28 is why I watch this video over and over.

I can't wait to get my life as a musician till that point when you get awesome musician friends and make super cool stuff like this song and video. I love it!

This song will always be so beautiful and special to me, no matter how many years will pass. I really hope To Kill A King will keep on making music for many years to come.

Would love a reunion cover :3

4:26 see this little moment of Dan and Emily❤❤

1 MILLION VIEWS, YAS

I never took away your crutch Just became it day by day Blood fillin' up our boots Whats the use in talking? All you wanna do is walk It's all you wanna do This is how the summer ends This is how the summer ends You never took away my crutch Just became it day by day Blood fillin' up our boots Whats the use in talking? Eyes are open finally Eyes are open finally All you wanna do is walk It's all you wanna do do and This is how the summer ends This is how the summer ends I I have the same choices As you do As you do When you fall Fall like I knew you would Lead me down down down Lead me down I never showed you what I want You never told me what you need A match bursting into flames And all is dust soon enough Eyes are open finally Eyes are open finally And all you wanna do is walk It's all you wanna do do and This is how the summer ends This is how the summer ends I I have the same choices As you do As you do When you fall Fall like I knew you would Lead me down down down Lead me down He's on your doorstep He's laden with flowers This garden is freezing teasing You're leaving me for hours

Can anyone else not help but smile when they watch this? Love it so much!
