Travis - Re-Offender (Official Music Video)

Anton Corbijn's excellent video for Travis's first single from their fourth album "12 Memories". Remastered for HD.

LYRICS

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions

But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again

Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell

But you're fooling yourself
Your fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
Then you do it again

You do it again
You say you love me
And then you do it again

You do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again
You do it again and again and again and again and again

this is one of those under-rated but classic albums...not a single song in 12 memories was bad...and this video is LIT

[alicepinter]

Came here by watching OTH the fifth Time again
I miss OTH forever

[michellelander]

I've liked this song ever since it came out but I only just read up on what it actually means; the lead singer witnessed his father being repeatedly physically abusive towards his mother throughout his childhood (hence the name of the song). After going back and listening to the lyrics properly for once, I can't believe I've never noticed how accurate they are, 'Keeping up appearances, keeping up with the Jones...' 'you say your sorrys, and then you do it again...' It's so tragic and I can't describe how much truth those words hold for me and other people who've had to watch domestic abuse definitely know what I mean. It amazes me how much music and complete strangers can instantly feel closer to you than most people in your life. What a painfully beautiful song.

Year 2024. I'm still here. Thank you.

2003 hit, 2023 super hit, this is song is great and the best of TRAVIS!

[antonybullock]

I totally forgot how awesome Travis are. Never gets old.

[hahajaz]

June 2022....what an amazing memory this song is from one of the greatest albums ever written. Love this ❤️

[eugeniamatarona]

I'm a Lithuanian citizen born in USSR, living currently in Argentina. Travis became one of my favorite bands since I was 16.. how the time flies..

[TripleER]

Travis is a very under-rated band. I heard this song on MTV lots of years back and I kept trying to find the video. Finally found it and discovered Travis! I love these guys so much, they deserve much more appreciation!

[chenafisabr]

I miss those those days so much....I feel so nostalgic listening to this 😥😥😥

[googleaccount-immu]

Everything about this, the lyrics, the video and just Travis as a band, are what you call real. This song always gets to me.

[nattmelankoli]

it’s midnight and I just discovered this band. I sincerely fell in love with their music. it’s absolutely mesmerizing.

[mpsandal]

12 Memories ... certainly under-rated, possibly their best album. Love Travis!

[MsGildaG]

I saw these guys perform yesterday at the Fox Theater in Oakland! They were amazing!

[peytinyy]

Year 2020. I'm still here. Thank you.

[BlissPascal]

This is not just a song, this is The song! Great acustic guitar and great arrangements, just perfect! Thank you Travis for this pearl!

[alvavamon]

o Travis é a banda mais sensivel e inteligente do rock...Beltiful song..I love it..

[afsheenrashid]

It does not matter how you found it. The fact that we liked the song enough to come here is what does. There are so many songs. Of all those songs we all found this one. Isn't that surreal? It's not about "my music is better than yours" it's about "Wow, music, isn't it such a wonderful thing?"and it's about "how could this band or this singer, who I don't know and who doesn't know I exist, write a song that conceptualizes exactly what I feel right now. How do they know what I feel right now? My best friend doesn't even know that. How could a complete stranger know?" Music is not about "keeping up appearances" or "keeping up with the Joneses." It's about keeping it real.

Such an accurate description of abusive relationships. Beautiful.

[parastararts]

It's one year since I got out of an abusive relationship. He was an addict & had narcissistic traits. One year on, I didn't think I'd still be here. He threatened my life. His family & friends did too. One year on, I'm ok, somewhat close to finding how to happy. But miles better than I was. I'm still healing. There's a long way still go. But progress has been made. This song has been one of those things that sometimes makes me sad for a love that never really existed but also reminds me to keep up with what I've done this past year that has helped me heal, however little, & kept me alive for all the people in my own life who love & do cherish me.
