Top Comments of this video!! :3
Here it is. 100% Endurance, the video. Filmed one fairly sunny day in Blackpool, before we played with Foals at Empress Ballroom. We once again reunited with director James Slater and somehow the stars aligned for us to cast a proper actor instead of me. I still can't believe David Thewlis got involved. I was such a fan of his work from Naked through to Fargo, and when I told James he was interested in working with us he was so buzzing. A brilliant actor, and an absolute joy to watch work. Equally so, he is a thoroughly decent, down to earth person who is funny as fuck, and that goes a fair way I reckon. And the best thing about getting him involved? I barely had to do anything, and I didn't have fake facial hair glued to me head for once.
This video also stands as testament, once more, to James Slater and his vision for bringing our songs to life every time. I always knew we would revisit The Overload world one last time to bring the whole concept of the album full circle and I knew the final video would be for ā100% Enduranceā, but once the album came out and touring kicked in, I never knew when we would find the time. Finally, we did, and getting all the cast of characters back together felt lovely too. We've met so many ace people making these videos and the more you meet them, the easier it is. Bless everyone who was on board throughout. If no one figures it out in the next 5 years, I'll do a thorough breakdown of all the videos with every reference, easter egg and narrative hint we stuck in there.

2:53 makes you smile with joy, as seeing David Thewlis looking at the sky and moving his hands to the beat of the rhythm

I was woken by a bang
And I could already taste the pain
The sudden fear that grips and shapes you
When you face the truth
Whose sofa was this?
Where were my shoes?
What did we do last night?
I don't remember leaving Nathan's house
Ah yeah, how could I forget
Why my pants were soaking wet
When we'd been pissing ourselves laughing at the news
Did you see it too?
It was incredible, they played it on a loop, we couldn't believe it
Basically, thŠµy'd discovered that therŠµ were others just like us
Other beings, other creatures, other planets with other species
Who had other gods that they believed in
And they interviewed all of them and everyone of them
Not one could give any hint of a clue what they were doing here either
It's all so pointless
It is and that's beautiful, l find it humbling, sincerely
And when you're gone
It brings me peace of mind to know that this will all just carry on
With someone else (someone else)
With something new (something new)
No need to be blue
Everything has already happened, time is an illusion
It's hippy bullshit but it's true
Come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah
Now we're off to meet them, so pack your weapons
Don't want them thinking they can pull a fast one on us
Now do we Graeme?
It's alright, I've fought more wars than I've had hot dinners
Sure you have, but the key to peace lies within us
And we'd already have achieved it
If everyone was as enlightened as me
It's hippy bullshit, but it's true
Watch me explode
It's all so pointless, ah, but it's not though is it?
It's really real and when you feel it, you can really feel it
Grab somebody that you love
Grab anyone who needs to hear it
And shake 'em by the shoulders, scream in their face
Death is coming for us all, but not today
Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it
Give it everything you've got knowing that you can't take it with you
And all you ever needed to exist has always been within you
Gimme some of that good stuff that human spirit
Cut it with a hundred percent endurance
It's all so pointless, sure is
And when you're gone
It makes me stronger knowing
That this will all just carry on
With someone else (someone else)
(Something new) something new
It's not like there's gonna be nothing, is it?

Greg Davies, comedic genius, brought me to this track and, as a 58 year old ex-music successful type arsehole back when there was a living to be made, I just LOVE you guys and your lyrics. Every week I find another nugget of pure gold beneath the torrent of commercial algorhythmic noise, and you are the biggest and most precious in a long time š. You make an old man happy knowing whatever happens with the money making music machine there will always be beautiful, special and life-affirming music to be found. "Something new - It's not like there's gonna be nothing is it?" - Quite you wonderful Yard Act people, quite šššš
