When this song is playing while I'm out driving in NFS Hot Pursuit on a rainy night, it makes me feel lonely, desperate, and determined...and even a little sad. Bottom line: great song.
It's a perfect anthemic rock song with mood and feeling. That final double chorus where the drummer switches from a hihat to the crash, and the vocal line melody changes slightly giving extra room for an extra synth line to drop in. It's perfect, and gives me chills everytime I hear it.
Song still slaps in 2023, had this on my old ipod in 2011 and couldn't remember the band and another song flashed my memory. Took a few hours BUT I FOUND YOU
The best! And the lead singer is drop dead moody eyed sexy! His name escapes me at the moment but I’ve been desperate to see them in concert but they usually tour in Europe. What about us Florida fans?
and, we are the chocolate for the monster that comes out the chocolate/stone & devour us, piloted by a beautiful fallen star that will give us the kiss of death as we are evicted from our body
Who's listening in 2020? My Facebook memories showed me that I posted these lyrics a as my status 10 years ago. Ahhh, gotta love being a teenager. Absolutely did not remember this song at all
I've been racking my brain for 2 months trying to find this song and googling my vaguest memories. "music video of boy in quarantine" "music video of boy breaking from quarantine" "music video of boy liking a candy bar" "music video with weird basketballs" Until finally "music video of boy becoming chocolate bar" led me here. Close enough, right? Ahh it's good to finally find this song though. Back when I was in middle school and still watched cable TV and the call of duty series wasn't complete dog shit.
The same as me. It didn't take me 2 months though, just tonight. An E.T. video reminded me of this. "music video homage of e.t." "music video of boy experimented on and a chocolate bar" "music video of boy and candy bar" Then the jackpot, "music video with a giant candy bar". I was using Brave search though. I think AI maybe helped. More than a decade since I saw it. The ultimate Memory: Unlocked.
I've stumbled upon this song after many years and I found myself seeing this video from a different perspective. I think the story is about loving someone going through mental health issues. The boy knows what's inside the chocolate bar, he understands. But nobody else does. The boy is breaking but he will never stop fighting for her because he knows that one day she will come out of her "shell". Society doesn't understand that situation and neither do we. We learn how to deal with mental illness but we (both society and those affected) struggle to understand it because it's bigger than us. But when we see the children inside of us we can understand it better, because as children we see past the mental illness, we see people for who they are. This doesn't mean that it makes it easier, the lyrics and the boys action's in the video are contradictory because it shows what a struggle it is for the boy. But he stays. Until one day he manages to get the girl out of her shell and see what he always believed was there, even though nobody else did. The message in my opinion : Mental Health is bigger than us, nobody understands it, not even the ones suffering from it. If you are someone who identifies with the boy in this video, don't give up. You can see what society fails to see. You are a Hero
I remember my brother showing me this music video for the first time when I was 10 and he said he thought the little boy looked like me. I thought that was the coolest thing ever for a 10 year old and I still think that till this day.
You took the tunnel route home, you've never taken that way with me before Did you feel the need for change? Apologies on your fingernails, love flickered in the city of lights, Like intermittent radio waves I don't need your tears I don't want your love I just gotta get home And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay, Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way, I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray, This is bigger than us You went where the horses cry, you've never taken that way with me before. Did you feel the need for change? Guilt smeared across your lips, I was tired and cold from the window You're tired, nothing's changed I don't need your tears I don't want your love I just gotta get home And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay, Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way, I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray, This is bigger than us
13 years ago I've bumped into this song, it seemed extremely catchy vocally, I've replayed it an ENOURMOUS amount of times since that, and it always ignited some kind of a fire inside. 13 years later I've watched this video once again, sang all the lyrics and almost broke into tears for whatever reason
[Verse 1] You took the tunnel route home You'd never taken that way with me before Did you feel a need for change? Apologies on your fingernails Love flickered in the city of lights Like intermittent radio waves [Pre-Chorus] I don't need your tears I don't want your love I've just got to get home [Chorus] And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray This is bigger than us [Verse 2] You went where the horses cry You'd never taken that way with me before Did you feel a need for change? Guilt smeared across your lips I was tired and cold from the window You're tired nothing's changed [Pre-Chorus] I don't need your tears I don't want your love I've just got to get home [Chorus] And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray This is bigger than us [Bridge] [Chorus] And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up But I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside Don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me I want you to pray This is bigger than us
I remember the first time I heard this song. It was my first day of college in 2010 and I made friends with this cute girl pretty quickly. On our laptops she showed me the daily free songs section of iTunes because one of her favorite songs was on there. There were a few songs available and this was one of them.
The way I understood this video is, that everyone wants to save this girl because she is a 'celebrity'. She's the face for this chocolate bar brand, and no one really sees her as anything more than that. Except the boy: he sees her for who she really is, and he loves her and wants her to be okay.
I remember hearing this sound when I was 13 years old and forgot about it till the other day out of no where and I'm almost 25 years old. Crasy how a song can come back to your mind after like 12 years.
The exact same thing happened to me. Sometimes I just ponder all the music I must have forgotten and this time it reminded me of this song. So happy I found it again
High School, 14 year old me, broken heart listening to this while playing World of Warcraft at night. Never done homework, this on my mp3 tracklist along side with The Black Keys and The Strokes while travelling on the bus... Those were the days
I never had a clear vision on the meaning of this song but i remember when i payed attention to it. I was discussing with an ex over a stupid topic but the things got really heated up and we started to fight but the breaking point was when she called me by someone else's name. I stopped arguing and i didn't know how to react, she apoligized and started to explain that it was some guy's name from her new job without me asking. I wasn't even listening at that point, i just told her "i'm going to take you to your house and i need some time to think" but she started crying and wouldnt get inside the car until she finally did. I remember that during the ride home, she was trying to apologize still but i didn't want to listen to her so i turned on the radio and this song came up with the line "i need your tears, i don't want your love. I just gotta get home and i feel like i'm breaking down". I cant explain it but thats what i was feeling at that time, i didnt want her tears explaining something that to me was obvious. I didn't want her love at that moment i just had to get home to cry. I was breaking down
Your experience has made quite the impression on me. Dramatic in itself and shocking and then fate plays this song on the radio for you. Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction. Your reaction to her calling you by someone elses name is (by the way) commendable. I honestly don't know how I would have reacted, but ending the fight and driving her home to break down and reflect - I am not sure I'd have reacted with such calmness and style.
I have forced SO MANY people to watch this music video many years ago, what a fucking amazing song and video, I used to be so mesmerized by the boy actor he just sells the emotions so perfectly I was always so impressed with that just fits the song perfectly, I know it has like 12m views but this really deserves so so so much more at least in my heart its in the billions. I wonder if that kid is still acting today, if so I bet they're killing it! Sadly cannot find a name.
Gracias a uno de mis juegos favoritos el NFS hot pursuit fue que descubrí esta canción y a la banda y ahora es una de mis favoritas. Me regalaron el juego en el 2013 y con mucha nostalgia recuerdo jugar el modo conducción libre, recorrer todo Seacrest County, y llegar de noche a Mission Beach y ver los fuegos artificiales en la playa con esta canción de fondo. Un saludo desde México para todos los amantes de NFS hot pursuit y gracias hermanos de White Lies por darnos siempre tanta buena música!!!
i had that game and i dont remember the song. i knew this one from other white lies songs, but might probably be one of the reasons i love this song or why i loved the game, that game had some serious sick songs
Been searching for this song for over a decade. I could only remember bits of the music video. So after scouring RU-vid for all the bands I used to listen to, I threw a Hail Mary into google “mid 2000s band chocolate bar music video” and it was the first result. I love the internet.
And I feel like I'm breaking up, and I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I don't want you to pray This is bigger than us
Night time, rain, your police car flasher flashing red&blue, sirens are blaring and you're rushing through serpentine with this iconic song, unforgettable feel
This was a good reminder of youth with I was older 12 years ago. You're listening to oldies that aren't respected by anyone as "oldies". You are not old. Babies are babies . Children Are children. That is very easy the understand. ....wake up
I found this song today on Spotify and I was absolutely in love. It felt nostalgic!! Then I went on my xbox and was playing need for speed hot pursuit remastered and then this song 🎵 started playing in game. So beautiful
