For me, this has always been the original “Apologize”

I suddenly remembered this video today and wanted to watch it again. My mind was blown to learn that it was fan-made. I always thought this was the official music video! This was SUCH a good video, masterful.

it's crazy how many people come back to this everyday. this song is legendary.

Back in time in 2007 when i first listening to this masterpiece. We r all missing all those sweet memories,are we? or is it only me?

Am I the only one who thinks this captures the essence of the song more than the "Official Video"?

I cant express in words how this video is underrated, i always tought this was the version " without" timbaland, never realized this was fan made, congratulations on beeing a better version than the oficial one, and beeing in the heart of so many fans, impossible to listen without tears coming.

This version will always be my favorite.

13 years later im still listening

Color me surprised. I have been following this band forever and a day now, and I just now realized this was not an official music video. Simply impressive work.

14 years later and Im still listening this song...

for a loooong time, i thought this was the official MV, and just found out few years ago that it's not, I still refuse that fact. Back in elementary, this was my fave MV. It is, and will always be, the MV for apologize.

15 years later and still wondering why OneRepublic didnt pick up this masterpiece for their song video?

This is the most amazing fanmade video I've ever seen of anything.

My first OneRepublic song... and I'm falling in love about this song. My favorite version... Just incredible, beautiful, this original song is just wonderful.

I remember I used to watch this back in the day when KZfaq wasn't that big and I was mesmerized by your work. I'm so glad I found it to revive those years ❤️ thank you for this!

2020 im still here.

So many years later and I still believe that this is one of the best videos ever made. Congratulations! A great video for a great song!

I can't believe this isn't the official video... your work is seriously the best music video I've ever seen. The work with the spinning table was breathtaking. This was phenomenally beautiful, I'm completely in love with this video! Superb job, remains my favorite music video to date! Can't be beaten!

15 years since I listened to this masterpiece for the first time.. and still have the same feelings whenever I listen to it ..

This is the older one. This is the original one. This is the better one.

THIS. This needs to be the official video.

This should be the official music video. 14 years later and I am still in love with it. Bravo!

i actually like this version more than the remixed official version and this video goes so well with it so thank you so much!

This is better than the official version......very good.

whoa i thought this was the official all along. jesus christ, this is good.

Song melts me and makes me question my existence all in 1 chord. Stunning.

Honestly, whenever I recall this tune, images like stills from this video are what I remember.

Almost 14 years and this is still, by far, the best version of the song and video. Well done!

was I the only one that always thought this was the original before the music video came out?

this is the best version. The beats kill on this

For me this was official version of apologise...the real essence of the music...watching now and then from 2011 onwards

25 years later, still love it. Never needed "help" from Timbaland.

I too thought this was the official video pretty much a decade ago, I bet you really enjoyed making it. You did an amazing job!! I love it!

this song blew my mind when i understood the actual meaning as to why it was too late to apologize.. would have heard it atleast 500 times.. one republic produces soulful music

14 years later and I still come back. Time and again. The song and imagery are compelling and powerful. Looking forward to Year 15.

this video always touches my soul...i remember watching it way back in 2007

I can't believe this isn't the actual verified music video. It should be!

I love the sound of this song.... Whenever I listen to this song, I always miss a friend of mine. And I just want to say " apologize" although I know " that it's too late to apologize, it's too late".......love you forever.

This video, instantly transforms me back in time, to the first time I looked it up when I finally got their name on the radio, the instant feeling of victory that I finally found it. Been a fan ever since. Can’t believe it’s been that long.

i always keep coming back to this version. i love everything about it! amazing work

Almost 5 years still feel heavy in my heart whenever i play this song... and off course this video awesome than official. love this to core!

Oh. My. God. It's amazing! I can still remember watching it on KZfaq 8 years ago. In fact, this was the first video I ever watched ON KZfaq. Thanks for the awesome experience.

This is the first one I saw after a co-worker introduced me to the song at lunch. Great Job and Great Story. Thank you for sharing.

14 years later

15 year later. Now feel very happy when found original track!

The most touching song I've ever heard. First heard back in 2011 and I'm still here in 2020.

I’m one of those people who discovered this song back in 2006 on MySpace before it got remixed by Timberland. Thanks for uploading this version!

Well after 15 years still the music to listen to

Shit 12 years later and this is still my favorite

best song ever from One republic..

I dont think I can tell how many million times Ive watched this since 2006, in my opinion it is undoubtedly one of the best videos ever made in terms of cinematography.

HOLY COW this is good! I assumed that this was the "official music video!" Congratulations on a job well done!! Truly talented! I was mesmorized!

I love this video! Still watching in 2019... Great work Aaron!

That electric guitar tho😍

It is a part of my memory since I was in high school! Thanks for making this! I am still listening to this song until now!

As a closeted musician, this is still the best expression of this song both in terms of its audio and visual arrangements. Bravo and well done, still only listening to this version of the song only.

I grew up with this beautiful song and I still remember that my older brother translated this song into Dutch for me when I was eight years old, so i could understand the lyrics

Wait, this isn't the official video? I've allways been looking for this one back when I was in loge with this song. What a masterpiece of a fan made video. This will forever be the "original" video for this song. Today I remembered this song after many years and had to listen to it. Hits different every time 😊 ❤

100% the best fan-made video ever. This video captures the true essence of the words.

Work of art. I remember years back when this song came out and this vid was accompanied by it. I always thought it was the original. And like only recently I find that this is not the original but fan made? Cinematography spot on and invokes such feeling. Can't say anything more then I am blessed to watch this.

i love this song.. whenever i feel low i use to listen this one.. very close to my heart..

Hi, I love your video. This my #1 song that I keep inside my heart. This song never get old in my eyes. Beautiful song

Damn~~ The cinematography... The color scheme... The shadow... The lighting... So old fashioned video which was WOW..

THIS IS WHAT I WANT OF A VERSION

I love this song and love OneRepublic

Timeless! I haven't heard heard this song nor seen this video for about half a decade! Goodness, does it feel wonderful coming back! This as a whole is making me absolutely astonished for its artsy quality! Is good to know that I had great tastes back in those days! xD

I remember watching this on my first laptop when the video came out in 2008. I had utterly no clue this was fan made until today. I always thought this was the actual video. I wanted to learn the song on piano, so I went on to you tube to listen to the song and realized that this wasn't the official video. All those years I thought this was it. This truly deserves to be the official video. It's far better than the actual official one that I didn't even know existed until today. Absolutely fantastic, I hope that you are making a wonderful living and that you get the notoriety that you deserve! Also, I just want to add that this was made in 2007/2008. This level of cinematography from a regular person was absolutely unheard of. Just look up some of the videos from back then. Everyone was recording on crap video cameras that could be out performed by a flip phone. Not to mention that editing software was nothing like it is today. No where near as user friendly. Beyond impressive work.

This song just hits home. It just does.

5/6/2019 brought back good memories

Ouvi pela primeira vez em 2008, é a música que mais ouço até hoje. Não sei explicar o que sinto quando ouço , mas não canso nunca . Minha música !!!! 💔♥️ sempre Será ♥️💔

I remember watching this all the way back when I was in school. Somehow I thought this was the original version. I am so happy I came across this video again, 15 years later. Fuck, half my life went by. Wish I could go back.

I love coming back to this video, amazingly done and inspirational story

Still here in 2020 this my jam and the video is perfect I watch it every time! ❤💔🎶❤

Who is still watching this in December 2019? :: raises hand ::

❤️ love this original song & video, it’s a lot softer & the video says it all

In 2006, I swore to myself I'll never listen to OneRepublic again because this particular MV gave me childhood trauma. But here we are, in 2022. I went on one of their concerts this May. Guess what. 1R is one of my top listening bands for several years now.

this video was the original one for me and will always be the original version for me

I’m actually crying I wish I was kidding... the memories of this video, the way the lyrics still relate, I have to go.

Hard to believe this song will be 16 years old this year!!!

@Aaron Platt im usually not interested in art based music videos but i cant get over watching your video over and over again , its so beautiful and heart touching and perfectly fits the song. LOVE YOUR WORK !!

I loved this song along with Boyce Avenue’s Acoustic version

Those who will be alive 1000 years from now will give this song a NOD

OMG! I remember this, I remember watching this video on myspace, I became a OneRepublic fan ever since the first time I heard "Apologize" on the radio, I'd say I been a fan before they became big. Since then I've been a fan, good times.

I came looking for this video, since I saw it 8 years back ❤ you made my childhood memorable

2006 man. I was 6 years old. Now i'm 23y hahaha feel old

quase 10 anos depois e eu aqui ainda ouvindo essa musica

This is the first youtube video I remember watching. I am so glad that it is still here.

I was in high school when I watched your vid for the first time. I bought the single off the strength of it. I swear I thought it was the official video. Excellent video! Congrats on your current success

Em 2017 e eu aqui escutando essa musica. Amo demais

Nunca superaré esta canción ! 😢😢

14 years ago? I just remembered that I always watched this because the cinematography was so satisfying. Childhood days. 1-4-2021

It may not be the OFFICIAL video, but it definitely is the ORIGINAL video

This must be the most HQ 144p video I've ever seen.

It's been 13 years and this is STILL so good 😭

I love your video more than the official video. I actually used to think some years back that this was the official video as it's so perfect. Great work sir:)

Cant believe its already been 14 years of this hurt and im still listening to this song

I'm holding on your rope,Got me ten feet off the ground 我正緊捉著你給的希望之索 擁抱著愛情的美夢 使我如雙腳離地十呎高 And I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound 我正傾聽你的說法,但我沉默不語 You tell me that you need me Then you go and cut me down, but wait 你告訴我你只是需要我(而不是愛情) 然後你要離去,切斷我原持守著愛的希望,只能空等待 You tell me that you're sorry Didn't think I'd turn around, and say... 你向我表示你的歉意 沒想到我會轉身怒然地說 It's too late to apologize, it's too late 你的道歉太遲了,已經太遲了 I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late 我指責說道歉已太遲,已太遲 I'd take another chance, take a fall 我還是願再次冒險,墬入深淵 Take a shot for you 肝腦塗地只為你一人 And I need you like a heart needs a beat 我是如此需要你 好似心臟需跳動般 But it's nothin new 但這是老梗了 I loved you with a fire red- 我如同紅色火焰般熱情地愛你 Now it's turning blue, and you say... 而現在已轉為藍色憂傷,而你只說 "Sorry" like the angel heaven let me think was you 「抱歉」如天使般,愛情天堂這個詞使我想到天使的化身就是你 But I'm afraid... 但是我害怕 It's too late to apologize, it's too late 道歉已太遲,已經太遲了 I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late 我說道歉已太遲,已太遲(因愛如覆水) It's too late to apologize, it's too late 道歉已太遲,已經太遲了 I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late 我說道歉已太遲,已太遲了 It's too late to apologize, YEA 道歉已是太遲,耶 I said it's too late to apologize,YEA 我說道歉已太遲,耶 I'm holding on your rope,Got me ten feet off the ground 我正緊捉著你給的希望之索 擁抱著愛情的美夢 使我如雙腳離地十呎高

2019, still great song !

Great great great song. And video is simple, perfect. This song is he deepest I know.

I like this song 13 years ago. still love it today😍
