This is the best KDrama I've ever seen

Who is still listening now

A French band singing in English about Korea...

Cuando era niño me gustaba ver MTV y recuerdo que esta canción la usaban para anunciar el MTV Wolrd Stage y me gustaba mucho pero jamás supe como se llamaba o de que artista era, ahora que la encontré no paro de escucharla :')

It's their best album. I love the Eastern modes and focused songwriting. Every song is a gem like a box of chocolates with all the best pieces!

For me, this MV looks like a preview for SBS television.

My music taste brought me here

You don't need any narrative/dialogue/hand-holding for this video to hit a deep nerve in your soul...almost brings me to tears every-fucking-time I watch it. This song shows that, although we may live on opposite sides of the world, on complete opposite sides of the culture spectrum, there will always be those basic human emotions that we all experience no matter what country we call home, no matter what era we live in, since the dawn of time... one of the greatest music videos I've ever seen

honestly this is a beautiful music video. one of my all time favorites

phoenix and k-dramas two wonderful things

This band is pure of ART and MASTERPIECE please don't stop making a music!!!! greetings from Italy

Headline from this day on Why you keep pretending that you wanna let go? Do. Do you wanna let go? Loud volume turn to low low low low low low What you want and what you do to me I’ll take the trouble that you have in mind Entertainment Show them what you do with me When everyone here knows better What I once refused to be Is everything they long together I’d rather be alone I love, I love, I love, I notice I heard it all before I died Before I knew you Once upon a time would take too long, long, long, long, long, long What you want and what you do to me I’ll take the trouble let you have my mind Entertainment Show them what you do with me When everyone here knows better What I once refused to be Is everything they long together I’d rather be alone

am i the only one who dont get the video, but the song is one of my favourites

This video is so intriguing I regret it’s only four minutes. I would love to know more about the characters, and what happens next. This could make a great movie!

The song is titled "Entertainment" and the music video is just that. Korean dramas, entertainment.

I still remember the first time watching this music video 7 years ago, to this amazing stumble it still gives me chills and a rush of emotions for the characters in this cinematic music video and also brings me nostalgic memories and aromas from the time.

The more I watch it the more I believe it was a necessary video.

That black eyeliner brings out all the sassy.

I had a friend who explained me this video but I forgot and she is in rehab right now.

Esta música me recuerda cuando la pasaban en un corte comercial de MTV, Dios que nostalgia. Los mejores tiempos del mundo 😔🤙

Desde que vi ese comercial de MTV World Stage en 2012 se ha convertido en mi banda favorita, hasta los vi en vivo.

For those who didn't understand, this world is not yours to conquer, oh, wrong show. Anyway, I’ll explain the clip, from my point of view. The clip depicts entertainment, and how people's lives shape around it. Whether talking about war, fun, history, or how people come together to entertain themselves. The question is, "what to talk about entertainment and people?". Both really have a relationship, since the beginning, entertainment has a relationship with humans, as clouds have with the sea, producing rain, producing lakes, ponds, puddles of water. And what to say, exactly about this relationship. I would point out that in the past, it was said, "this one was born to be a teacher", now it is said, "this one was born to be an actor, singer, poet", professions debated about its relevance, but that is the point, the degree of importance of entertainment. The entertainment was created, the primary needs were to copulate, eat, make physiological needs, sleep, among other things, the most important, but with the entertainment, the importance of things and people, it has a different proportion. One famous person is more famous than another, a certain profession is more sought after than another, a certain place is more visited than another. People do things to entertain themselves and arrest others to achieve that goal. SUMMARY OF OPERA: Humanity has made entertainment its own vassal. Adapting with the fashions, trends, to fit in some society. Forgetting about living individually, following moral rules, it is necessary. And how to get rid of the entertainment, [a prison they believe they never have to leave], don't get stuck in one program, or channel, or group. Have times alone (in old age or at some time or place, you will be alone) Don't just read books, don't just play, don't watch movies only, don't just watch series, don't just be in fashion. If you want to know if there are people in the entertainment, listen to Bruce Lee, be like water, always on the move, if you want to see life outside of entertainment, be like the air, invisible and wise. Be like the earth, made by God, be strong, and separate from fire, which destroys nature, (but the element is used in many areas, I mean subliminally, bad people are like uncontrolled fire) And to end this long excerpt ""God is beyond the stars" and I want to understand the world, and I rather be alone

It's about reincarnation and finding your soulmate.

this song always gives me the chills

The ending credits to Now You See Me brought me here, LOVED the song as soon as my wife recognized it was Phoenix!

To me this song is about that feeling when you feel so much love and attraction for someone and that person feels the same way for you but neither of you dare to make the first step, so you'd rather be alone...

I cried watching it. I've already had watched it so many times but never realize how this song its full of emotions. Beautiful ♥

Estaba como loca buscando esta canción porque hace mil años me encantaba y lo sigue haciendo... Gracias a mi hermano por buscar mejor que el FBI

2024 anyone?

I’ve watched this video since a long time ago because me and my dad both enjoyed this song. This is the first time seeing this video since a long time ago and I forgot how much I love it

La canción y el vídeo realmente generan muchas emociones, el clímax es la mejor parte los personajes todo la historia de este video trasmite demasiado

The music video is shot in a cinematic style and is set in Korea. It features several characters interacting with each other throughout different historical periods. Its central theme is romantic with two people finding each-other across the ages amidst conflict with antagonists.

kind of reminds me of Cloud Atlas and the different lives the same souls lived

the movie " Now you see me " brought me here

외국인의 입장에서 본 한국의 이미지가 이런 느낌인건갘ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

when i saw the video i thought phoenix were a korean or japanese band

"Now You See Me" Soundtrack!!! that's great! 😁😁😁😃

as an Asian American, this is like the most unintentionally subversive song lol. The song uses the pentatonic scale which is stereotypically and often mockingly associated with Asian music-- though in reality it's used in some Chinese music, and not that common in most other Asian music. The lyrics relate to the tension between playing along with such stereotypes to be accepted by the dominant culture (Entertainment . Show them what you do with me. When everyone here knows better) and wanting to be yourself (What I once refused to be. Is everything they long together. I'd rather be alone). There's also reference to reconnecting with your past selves that you've lost (I love, I love, I love, I notice . I heard it all before I died. Before I knew you. Once upon a time would take too long)

This weird Korean highlander short film is still one of my favorite music videoes ever.

The intro gives me the chills everytime!

Happy tenth anniversary to the release of this incredible album

they should be play this on the olympic closing, what a banger song

I love this song! One of the best sounds of all time!

I just love their face expresses at 3:14!! They look like they are truly being mesmerized by beauty in their hearts

Underrated band. Love them! Greetings from Peru.

When this song came on while I was waiting for the judo finals at the Paris Olympics, I remembered everything that had happened.

You're here listening to this song, possibly because you just watched Now You See Me. And you’re thinking “this sounds familiar, where have I heard this band before?” 1901. 1901 is the answer. 1901 by Phoenix, you’ve heard it somewhere and you need to listen to it again. So nostalgic!!

Aw, I love his hair in the bun! But I honestly love the security guard. He seems so sweet, I can't believe he dies! But OMG, when the guy in the armour's modern day self kicks that guy's ass at the end! SO GOOD. There are too many conflicting storylines! This music video needs a fanfiction!

¡Caray! Más de un año escuchando esta canción y aún me sigue poniendo la piel de gallina 3:10 c': ❤

hahahahahhaahh total generailzation of korean romance drama fit into a indie pop video BRILLIANT thats entertainment allrite ;)

thank u older sister for showing this to me 6 years ago ❤️❤️

i just saw them perform this live on june 8th at the primavera sound city show and i got so emotional thinking about this music video when they played this song. LOVE THIS BAND

Recuerdos cuando miraba VH1 año 2013

혼란하다 혼란해….

What an amazing piece of art and media. Kdrama aesthetics distilled to its essentials. A French band singing in English. Why does it work so well.

End credits of Now You See Me brought me here

Love you phoenix! see you march 29-30th at lollapalooza ;D

i havent heard this song since 2012 and i've been searching for it for awhile, im so glad i finally found it

Alguien sigue escucha este temazo en 2021 ?💕

Tengo un pequeño trauma con Phoenix.😍❤

I think that the main idea of the video it is no matter who you are or what you do you will always found hope on that special person for you ❤️

Que buen recuerdo del 2013. Un año feo y bueno a la vez :´)

Can't stop loving this song. Love the part where he said "I'd rather be alone". Hits so close to home. 

It is an epic mosaic of Culture and Romance woven through a series of poignant yet inspiring vignettes. Its opening scene introduces important characters and their relation to each other. Purple jacket is the composer of the song which will be performed by the long haired man and the women next to him is his agent or assistant of some sort who obviously has feelings for him. The beautiful fantasy of a couple learning ancient skills (cross bow, horse back riding)----

Vodafone FM brought me here!! Very nice song!!

A bunch of doramas cuts, can't hold all those feels. Enterteiment.

So underrated needs to be in a monvie Who agrees 👇🏽

PHOENIX

World Stage LA, MTV. Al fin encontré el nombre de esa canción

ONE OF THE BEST MUSIC VIDEOS EVER MADE

Still a better love story than Twilight ;)

La primera vez que escuche esta canción fue en los comerciales de mtv pero no me importó mucho y después de 2 años me acorde de ella y la empece a buscar depuesto vi la película "Now you See me" y vi que salía en los créditos, entonces busque el soundtrack de la peli y la encontré jeje que historia

Absolutely amazing live love this band ❤️

This kind of reminds me of "Cloud Atlas", where everyone plays several different roles throughout the film.

when i watch this song, i get sucked in by the video. when i hear this song, i think of the video. i'm still putting pieces together. but either way, i can't help but feel sad.

Rewatching the video with your interpretation in mind gave me chills. Simply beautiful!

This video is totally promoting the idea of The Cloud Atlas.

"Now You See Me" brought me here....luv.

Procurei tanto essa música, não sabia o nome. Enfim encontrei 😝! Muito boa! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Puta cortina de MTV te encontré

Christine Ko is so beautiful!

I wish I could be 10 years old again watching this music video for the first time again 😢

Awesome song Phoenix. You guys will always be one of my favourite bands!

love the music and the images.

The like👍 button isn't enough for this.

Thanks to myself for don't forget this song....!!!!

Fyi to people talking about American misconceptions: phoenix are French...

i dont understand the video either but this is definitely one of my favourite songs!

Me acuerdo cuando salia en los comerciales de MTV

Gives me chills.. Clearly remember when this song came out.. memories 😍😍😣😥

Um dos últimos clipes do top de MTV, meses antes do fim da MTV Brasil 😭

'Now You See Me' brought me here.

This brings back nostalgia all over again

Greatest music video ever.

Una canción tan magnífica que me lleva a un momento tan pésimo de mi vida, auxilio.

my take on the video is that what entertains us is what we love. like in the video their was action, music, history all sorts of it and entertainment has this spell over us which we cannot break or we choose not to break it.

cloud atlas in nutshell: the struggles of life are literally endless, dont be a bystander, be a martyr, give ur life if it is for the greater good.

AGHH this is beautiful !!

That's really a beautiful video and a beautiful addictive song. Put together it a piece of art . Well done, and thanks to the director and of course to Phoenix.
