Lyrics:
I breath in hard
Don’t speak cos it’s like a bitter pill
You blow my mind, you make my heart beat
Harder, harder, harder, hard
The king’s a clown
No one is laughing it’s not a drill
Just look outside the world is ending
Faster, faster, faster, faster, fast
The echoes of that news ring loud (the echoes, the echoes)
No sound can ever drown it out (the echoes)
It breaks my heart, breaks my heart into
A million pieces
Oh, it breaks my heart into a million pieces
If it’s gonna break me won’t you let me go?
Leave it till the morning, I don’t wanna know.
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart into
A million pieces
We’re too far gone
Nothing I say will mean anything
Let’s drink, fuck, dance right through disaster
I don’t wanna talk about it now
The echoes of that news ring loud (the echoes, the echoes)
No sound can ever drown it out (the echoes)
It breaks my heart, breaks my heart into
A million pieces
Oh, it breaks my heart into a million pieces
If it’s gonna break me won’t you let me go?
Leave it till the morning, I don’t wanna know.
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart into
A million pieces
Get fear and loathing out your mind
And don’t pull me, don’t pull me down from the ceiling
It breaks my heart, breaks my heart into
A million pieces
Oh, it breaks my heart into a million pieces
If it’s gonna break me won’t you let me go?
Leave it till the morning, I don’t wanna know.
Breaks my heart, breaks my heart into
A million pieces

The fact that Bastille can break down any song into a version with full orchestra is reason enough for them to be one of the best.... Love this!
any arranger/ composer can
I'm still dreaming of a full choir & orchestra version of Icarus, kust like the one we got in Another's People Heartache pt.1
@@taegos you are totally right!
@@NeoFighterX sure, but the arrangements sometimes aren't as good as I think theirs have been. So they/whatever arranger they have been working with has been doing a particularly good job, imo. And their performance and delivery adapts well to the new styles. They really remake the song in a way that is just as beautiful if not more.
Gloryhammer can do that too. It's awesome.
The album version is undoubtedly a party bop and it’s a song you sing to a crowded room when you want to forget. This is something completely new. It’s delicate and it’s almost like a personal conversation before two friends/loved ones. It’s one person smiling at the other and wanting to just have the night with them without having to think about anything else. It’s between playful and pleading and it is amazing.
Life According to Me amazing comment
This is exactly it. I almost consider them two different songs
Now we have the descent version, the album version, and something in between them both.
@@Yaco_Taco yes, the descent version from oph4 was gorgeous and melancholy and almost introspective. i was so shocked hearing the album version after that one 😂
On point description
Orchestral versions of songs should always exist
Definitely!
Yes!!!
I totally agree! This is absolutely so beautiful.
Good song and orchester. 👌🌺💚😏
Facts
*those little smiles of Dan, in between scenes, god. he looks genuinely happy and it warms my heart*
WHEN YOU HEAR A CRAP COMPOSITION YOU DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. IT JUST REGISTERS AS CRAP FROM THE FIRST NOTE THAT'S BEEN PLAYED OUT FOR DECADES. BUT WHEN YOU HEAR A COMPOSITION AND DON'T REGISTER A NEGATIVE THOUGHT AND IT MAKES YOU PAUSE TO ABSORB IT WHILE GETTING YOUR HEAD AROUND IT ARE THESE KINDS OF COMPOSITIONS THAT SWEEP YOU UP AND TAKE YOU FOR A SHORT RIDE OUT OF YOUR REALITY FOR A FEW MINUTES THAT ARE GOLDEN. NOW WHERE'S THAT REPEAT BUTTON?!?!?.....
Dear Bastille : you're KILLING me, we NEED the orchestrated album. Pretty please.
Highly highly agree!!!
@@samuelbecker5149 and it’s been confirmed
@@rishivk7 Really? Link please? :)
@@lukasbieri I watched the amazon movie about it (pirated on youtube cause *** Amazon), but I can't seem to find an actual album
@@rishivk7 WHERE. I NEED THIS
I'd love to see "those nights", "quarter past midnight" and "bad decisions" being played that way
Quarter past midnight alreadh has an orchestra version...check it out
yeeessss exactly
And waves and divide
Doom days too
Oooh Those Night will be like 3638292 times more sad
I love how comfortable Dan looks in this. As much as I wanted to hug the painfully shy old Dan, it's beautiful to see him coming into his own and looking less tortured during performances.
It's his magic hair, ever since he cut it he's been more comfortable and his voice is 👌
I absolutely adore every collab they do with the London Symphony Orchestra. I have yet to see a single one I didn't like, Bastille is seriously underrated.
2:37 Can we talk about Dan’s escaped smile at this moment? Because that was so heartwarming
I love it so much. Had to go back and re-watch it a few times
Omg yes, the smile of someone doing what they love!
Meanwhile, on the rare occasion when I'm singing, my face and eyes scream, "Please kill me."
What about 4:38
I love how much emotion comes through all of the but watching Dan is amazing he just absolutely feels everything its breathtaking to see that admiration for music and what they create together xx
I've had a terrible day, and then I opened CZcams to find this. You guys are a gift.
skystarless hope you’re feeling better now!
Yo brother,chill out you're awesome bad days happens, everything will be alright. Keep smiling and keep rocking on brother. Theres always light on the the other side. 💯
❤
most underrated song of the year jesus christ
I'm not sure why, but this just makes me think about how beautiful people are. We have the capacity to do such harm, but we can also cooperate and create. It's incredible.
We have every possibility within our grasp, so many that we hardly know what to do with them until we find something or someone to focus on
So when do we get a full orchestrated album?🤞
Edit: Please!
Yes please! I've been waiting for this!
I have wanted this for SO LONG!!
They are releasing a 'Reorchestrated' album :D
Matthew Virnig that's amazing!
Honestly anyone would love an album like that. The reason people don’t do it is because how hard it is, just look at all the instruments being used and the timing of when to use them. If they knew that an orchestrated album would get them top 5 on billboard and a ton of sales, they would do it. Too bad they aren’t recognized enough and too bad rap has been covering the top charts for 10 years now. Seriously, people need to stop listening to the same old “fuck bitches pop xans and get money” shit and branch out into music like bastille. I’m sick of it.
Look at the smiles on their faces!! They're loving it!! It's breath taking!! I love how much Dan always get's into it, he moves with the song
Me: *clicks on this vid*
My mum, a week of not listening to Dan: "oh my God, I missed his voice so much."
Mum = 11/10
👍👍👍👍
your mum is a legend
😂😂😂
😂like me
@@harshmalik9878 haha, thank you! Nice to come back to this comment and see the appreciation! In case you’re wondering, my mum is still listening to Bastille and she still thinks he has the best voice in the industry, and I AGREE!
This song saw me through my mum's death, her funeral, and my ongoing comfort after. Thank you Bastille.
Sending you hugs and love ❤️
The tender intro version of Dan's voice got me hooked!
and it looks like Dan is absolutely enjoying himself this makes me so happy. like can you IMAGINE writing your own song and people make it sound like THIS?? I'd sob
Sepia Smith !!!!!!!!!!!! Ahh yes T h i s!
Dan , A quiet , shy musical genius . Smiling while he delivers his amazing gift to us , He knows he has absolutely delivered his best . I much prefer watching these live performances . The mimed video versions lack the extraordinary power of this performance . Bastille fan forever ❤️ ( 65 years of age )
This song and this version just leaves me speechless. I love the ‘cinematography’ of this video, how the camera was moving from person to person. It’s gives me a realization that although we are unique beings, we can harmoniously unite to create anything great in this world.
That uniqueness in voice
I can't stand this amazingness
Is no one going mention the little head shakes when he sings a long note?
adorable :)
head-brato 10/10
Totally x
It's a very good way to do that beautiful vibratto.
I heard this version of Million Pieces before the original version and only the orchestral one makes me very emotional. It has such amount of positive energy.♥️
I couldn’t agree more.
its a beatifull song Jane and my granduaghter loves it lol
It's wonderful version! Bastille are singular!
The power of many sounds
I'm in the same boat. I /just/ tried listening to the original version and came straight back to feel feelings.
His voice sounded amazing on this track. The orchestra took this song to a totally different level.
Yessss I love it! Also it looks so weird to see Kyle, Woody and Will not playing instruments. They honestly look kinda like fish outta water lol.
Kazaradigital RIGHT????🤣❤️
Bastille and an orchestra is the best combo on earth
This version of “Million Pieces” fills me with joy. I love seeing this collection of people collaborating on such a beautiful piece. Thank you, Bastille!
2:35 Dan's smile just melted my heart. You can see they're actually enjoying every piece of their music 💜
And at 2:45
Yeah! ❤
This version of "Million Pieces" is incredible. First off, the different layers of instruments and vocals in the first minute takes you through different emotional levels of joy and depression (for lack of better term). Dan, the xylophones (I think), and strings made the first thirty seconds feel stripped back and heartbreaking, just as if you were told the worst fucking news of your life. Then, it gets increasingly louder with the brass (we got a tuba y'all!), guitar, drums, and backing vocals as if you're tuning out that news and saying, "Yeah, yeah fuck off I'll get back at you later." which is literally the meaning of "Million Pieces" I think. Everyone was amazing here: the choir, orchestra, brass, percussion, the band, etc. I give them all the damn credit for this beautiful version.
I ain't no musical genius and had to rewatch this many times in order to figure out what the hell I was listening to, but I hope this conveys my reaction and whatever I picked up from observing.
TLDR: Bastille knows to make a song and punch it right back into your face with every song.
Dude, what a masterpiece! It gives me goosebumps
I swear every song sung by Bastille sounds like a timeless classic
insane 🙂
-‐‐-because they are timeless classics !!!
I got goosebumps listening to this. Every orchestral version of a Bastille song has been simply amazing. This is a new level of music-making.
hearing kyle’s voice is the best thing about this video🤩
and Charlie's as well!!!
THE DEEPNESS!!
@@kalusia09 nobody cares about him tbh
@@musicstansubscribetomychan9556 that's sad man don't say that
@@kalusia09 who's Charlie
Six years later and I’m still not over how nice his voice is🥰🥰
I'm putting down 'seeing Bastille perform live with orchestra' on my bucket list. This is insane.
Dropping a comment because I’ve listened to this CZcams song maybe 10,000 times. Just love it.
Dan's voice is too good to be true, that vibrato though 🙏 i mean... 1:05 ?!?!
While it's exactly that Vibrato-technique I find very special. He seems to be doing it by nodding his head and I haven't witnessed people doing that, while it's pretty clever. Whitney Houston or Brendon Urie do it by shaking with their jaw a little, but is something new
@@GuitarCoversForYou is that actually a new technique? I have no clue what techniques there are currently, but I thought everyone does it like Dan
@Danabana 😂
Technically true vibrato comes from proper breath support which allows the vocal chords to resonate freely, his technique is a bit manufactured and not the "proper" way, but Dan's still amazing
At that moment he transformed into a Disney Prince.
So we have:
- the OPH4 version which gives the most melancholic, poignant and deep meaning to the lyrics;
- the Doom Days version which is an electronic party bop, so well-produced that it could easily surpass any Chainsmokers production;
- the orchestrated version which is soft and delicate and yet cheerful and uplifting?
Can you believe Bastille invented versatility?
we stan!
@@musicstansubscribetomychan9556 we absolutely do.
I love the OPH4 version 💜
Yes
What’s the OPH4 one?
I don't think that Bastille has ever released any bad music 😂
Bad Decisions
Bad Blood
Bad Guy (including Bad Romance and Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood)
Bad for the name not for the nature - literally adore everything that comes out of Dan Smith’s mouth
@@scottsmmenzies nah theyre amazing, just two evils in my opinion
@@scottsmmenzies i actually kinda of like bad decisions
@@coalatm6479 you didn't read his whole comment did you
@@scottsmmenzies Don't forget about Bad_News.
Honestly I clicked the video and didn't expect that it would be this great, it captured me from the beginning with its melody.
It was so satisfying to see all of these people enjoying while playing and singing together , like they're all have melted in this song and brought us in their world. So amazing.
I love that they continue doing these versions. Proves it really is about the music. I can only imagine how mind blowing these experiences are for them
the entire arrangement of this is pure perfection, so much TALENT in one room! well done to Bastille !!! (and the orchestra/choir!!) . very bloody proud of you guys. x
I love my boys. So sweet and talented beyond belief. I was in front row with my son.
Those Cellos with the bouncing beat is so incredible. What a great sound
Oh my God, Dan's voice is so soft in this 😭❤️
God！I wish the entire Doom Days album has a ochestrated version!!! Please make it happen.
Miao Du it is happening!!!
sometime in the future - hopefully we have a future - people will listen to this along with other great historical music and wonder "what was it like back then" and we're here, at the beginning, and it's that great right now.
His voice and how he masters his voice cords makes of him one of my favorite singers along with adele and ellie goolding, just outstanding !
Yho,this is actually good,i can see my sister I've never been happier
Which one is she?
Alejandra Navarro exactly, was also wondering the same thing
Glad I found this
❤
same!
@@aj7lax15 l
same papi
Same here. 😊
This man blows my mind!!
I love this era . The Music not need devil or nude things, like you just enjoy the music and the lyrics ❤❤❤
Yes! ❤
His voice is literal fire. I dont know any other singer that has the range or ability he does and I’m stunned everytime he sings a song. ❤️
I’ve always really liked his voice, but how little music do you have to listen to, that he’s the only one you know of who has his range? It’s not even that impressive tbh. Not trying to be rude, but honestly…
Fabulous Killjoy I’ve known about Dan since before he was famous and I am super attached to him and the band and to me he definately has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard it literally can soothe me. So i mean everyone has their own opinion.
Brendon Urie (Panic! At the Disco) and Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy) are incredible vocalists (my two other male favs)! But Dan Smith always leaves me stunned every time he sings as well!! His voice leaves me speechless with its beauty. I can’t never get enough of it 😍
Maddie Evette Dan Smith, and Sam Smith need to do a duet lol,
But seriously, I cant get over how he writes these amazing songs and then every single time he preforms them its different, or album quality, he truely is special and will always be my favorite voice.
Maddie Evette Brendon Urie and Gerard Way are my favorite male vocalists. But yeah, Dan has such a nice voice. It’s just so beautiful.
Bastille ❤ !! I have no words!! I just wanna sing
Seeing Dan so incredibly happy makes my heart so full. I absolutely adore this, and every shot of Dan smiling makes me infinitely happy. This video made me cry with joy.
As awesome as this song is, it wouldn't be near as good without the excellent backing singers, and the orchestra was amazing. Great job. Bravo
Bastille is exactly what this broken world needs 😍 Literally heals my soul everytime
I'm so happy for you and everything you guys have accomplished.
The sound engineer has done amazing job, with an already amazing song & Performers.I close m eyes, and can hear where every tone comes from... and still makes me feel like i am in the middle of it all. and then it stars spinning.. incredible.
that smile at the end is so great. most people in choir or band know the power of silence after or during a song.
It's amazing how you can tell that every single person in that room is giving 100% of themselves to make such a beautiful piece of music.
I adore when they release these orchestra versions. Simply amazing, how delightful it must be to watch them play live
as a musician I can only imagine the incredible energy created when recording this. nothing but love.
This is a freakin modern day masterpiece! The clash of pure talent from every soul in the room is felt through my ears right down to touch my soul. You don’t find that very often.
Could 'nt have said it any better myself ❤ BASTILLE
To Bastille and everyone involved in this, thank you! Amazing as always!
Dan's smile at the end truely describes this briliant perform
His voice at the beginning is the definition of perfection.
it's great having your voice on Earth :)
Love all orchestrated versions of everything you guys do.
I love that even in Abbey Road, with an orchestra, Dan can't stop himself from starting to dance.
Cannot wait to see you guys in Dallas!!
Thank you for making "orchestral" music, this song gave me goosebumps and i love it :)
This is by far the best recreation of any Bastille song, they always manage to make every great song even better.
freaking amazing. Bastille has such a majestic sound, and when you mix it up with an orchestra its just turn into an epic feeling , like a soundtrack of a finale of an adventure movie
So um this is amazing but also that girl doing back up vocals is so pretty like omg
She’s gorgeous!
Such a beautiful song
October 8 2023. I can't put into words... Everything about this video fills my heart.
Dan really be out here groovin'
Even Dan knows his voice is majestic
I have lost track of how many times I've come back to listen to this video.
Same here! Think at least 4-5x a week for me. One of the best songs & THE best rendition. It gets you right there 💘 every single time 🥲
Still coming back
brilliant....just brilliant
Can't stop replaying this song over and over again, love you Bastille, shout out from Malaysia
This is my go to feel good song. As a singer I love this so much. No pain when I listen to this. Love this.
Still loving this ❤
This is surreal, listening to this during lockdown.
I'm a new fan. I've just discovered them. Where have I been that I've never heard of them until now? I've been listening to all their songs while being shut off from the world! Now I'm obsessed!!
@@jennarobin2748 His new ones awesome💜 I'll never not love these guys
Can’t wait to see you in Mexico next October! Love youuuu!!! 🇲🇽💜
Cuando vendrán? 👀

¡29 de Octubre! 🤩
@@sofiap.1037 en dónde? No sabía!! Dime por fa!? Que festival o que?
@@urielcuriel5467 en el pepsi center puedes comprar los boletos en ticketmaster
This is the greatest version of any song I have ever heard!
It's amazing that they could recreate this with an orchestra, especially the breakdown. I've got to say I may be in love with this version.
holy moly i must have listened to this 1,000,000 times by now xD
That's literally impossible but I get what you mean 😄
You guys just make every song so special! This version is amazing! It sounds big, but in the meantime also very intimate. Well done!
I love Million Pieces and I would listen to it in a million versions. This one is magical! I'm so lucky to call Bastille my favourite band. Thank you Dan, Chris, Will and Kyle!!!
I just can't describe how much I love the feeling from this song. I almost cry.
Bastille goes straight to my heart, I love you guys ❤☺️
This song genuinely makes me feel like things are going to be okay. Thank you so much dan
I really appreciate that bridge...like that voice...omg
its cool how Bastille just looks really happy and peaceful
I never thought I'd be able to choose just one, but I think this is actually my favourite song in the whole world. The raw sound of their stunning voices, and the beauty of the orchestra .. I get goosebumps every single time I hear this.
Dan in particular .. that VOICE!! Literally no words. Not to mention his little dance, and gorgeous smiles that escape now and again whilst singing - I couldn't love him more if I tried x
And can we please all just take a minute to appreciate how absolutely PERFECT Kyle is?! I mean, God .. be still my beating heart!
THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER HEARD
Absolutely fantastic song
amazing in a million pieces
This song he's so into chilling throughput my head to my toes watching him feel in the moment passionate given wonderful gift thank you.... Million pieces
