[@nescas3879]

I think that the bullies are actually his thoughts or insecurities or his "demons" and at the end they stop moving because he only stop those insecurities by dancing

[@fayHoran]

Gabriel Espinosa shit i think ur right

[@vf5400]

Gabriel Espinosa I would have never thought of it like that, thanks for sharing! (Video takes on a more hopeful melioristic feeling from that viewpoint)

[@jaygarrison7539]

xNéstorx xCastañedax yoooo, that makes sense

[@stevedixon852]

Too true

[@cierraallen7265]

[@rw8733]

I'll do it. 😂

[@sunflowerfield9660]

Sorry can't do it, Mrs rona is watching

[@lolasmiles]

So he went to practice, walked home, had a drink, went out again, and those assholes are still doing nothing with their lives either than wasting it away in front of a dude's house to mock him?

[@derriandeshotel5042]

Izza Ismail I feel like the 3 represent his own insecurities. it gets worse when got rejected. so I don't think they are real which is supported by the end where he finally breaks free of his insecurities.

[@kauanrichard8566]

Derrian Deshotel you are handsome

[@derriandeshotel5042]

Kauan Richard Thanks?

[@darionnegarner8513]

this song is art

[@gc5677]

[@jojoj1166]

amazeballzxx i agree

[@yanelysaligonzalez857]

phil tøps he is art

[@zoe-nb3ux]

true but your profile pic is pure art too

[@yoshimistu9]

This is what I understand from the music video: He's gay and the way he deals with bullying is to use the hate to fuel his passion for dancing and because when he dance time freezes and all the bullying cannot hurt him anymore.

[@josedelacruz1323]

+Jimmy Khann That's actually pretty good.

[@yoshimistu9]

Jose Dela Cruz Thank you. ^^

[@carloskaram3576]

[@prisma5108]

They did the mannequin challenge before we even knew it

[@ishasid4239]

Prisma OMG

[@annalisestevens6582]

I was literally about to say that. Your a genius

[@luisacampos3893]

[@AnonyMous-pb6nj]

I too dance around my bullies

[@lilboomie]

it was a message

[@Kazekage202]

I can't deal... XD

[@seorasog]

That's one way to confound these Neanderthals, including the ratty-haired tart who thinks she's so cool to be hangin' with these bad boys. What a trio of morons who will never figure out what just happened.

[@pixel_plant_boi9330]

Anony Mous ha yeah. I mean its just the thing to do ya know

[@joshrigo5692]

+SeorasOg they're artists in a performance and they've obviously created something that got to you

[@danielmd18]

i didn't want it to end, I want more, it's like there is more. Please, tell me if there is more...

[@ahmedalaa-ec2qq]

+Daniel Dantas you are right -_-

[@teritroussier5145]

+Daniel Dantas You're so right...

[@rifqysg]

+Daniel Dantas we want more!

[@rifqysg]

+Daniel Dantas we want more!

[@thejupiter2574]

I was hoping for a better ending like he would use his dancing steps to kick all of their arses! It's too bad he didn't know karate! HAS ANYONE SEEN THE MUSIC VIDEO BY Ronan Parke called: "Defined" about being bullied and harassed. It's a very good anti bullying message video and Ronan Parke is soooo cute :)

[@brubbagum6935]

Do them people just sit on the bench for their whole life

[@Astralwolf23]

Brubba Gum probably, with no lives themselves seeking to torment others.

[@hauntedhotel8565]

EXACTLY

[@HelenaCabello18]

Heterosexuals

[@karencarney7595]

Pretty much..sitting on a bench, u see a lotta shit

[@karencarney7595]

Brubba Gum btw is that *BUBBA GUMP* on ur profile? Lmao 😆

[@hemaray611]

This was so beautiful. I absolutely loved it.

[@overthecounterbeanie]

You don't dab on your haters, you pirouette around them.

[@samschumann2236]

I think the bullies aren't real, they're metaphors for his previous bullies, whether it be for being gay or doing dance ( a feminine sport), they existed prior in his life but now are more of reminders. Notice how time froze when he was dancing, it was as if he was showing his inner demons he didn't care, and would live as his most authentic self.

[@FrapVoss]

Not sure why, but I keep thinking that's Connor Franta.

[@paschelco9353]

my god SAME

[@hannahgeneva5989]

sAmE

[@pixel_plant_boi9330]

FrapVoss OH MY GOSH SAME! With a dash of Troye Sivan

[@FrapVoss]

Regan Trew i know right?? omg

[@natalia-le1tr]

troye and connor mixed together

[@Ethan-ik1nm]

I'm a boy in an all boys secondary or high school ( it's common to get single sex schools in england, I'm not sure about anywhere else) and I do ballet but if anyone from my school knew, I would be bullied until I have to to change school. it happened to my friend but being a good friend, he still kept my secret for me.

[@joshrigo5692]

do what you want mate

[@hinam9684]

Oh wow. That actually happens in life? Lame. Ballet is graceful, elegant and just plain awesome. I think it's stupid that people are still stuck with gender roles.

[@EmieIero]

hey, i bet you're a great dancer! do not feel bad for doing ballet, it's beautiful! be proud of it, be proud of yourself and do not let anyone put you down. really! i feel very sad for the kid of the video... people are cruel sometimes. :(

[@iamjoyandlove591]

Um not really, those schools were mostly created during victorean era when Women were basically differed a bit from boys. Nowadays most are co-educational and the ones which are still single sex are existing from a long time, not recently created or anything. I believe the Labour party put forward to make school coeducational, not sure about that but that won't go anywhere lol, because May.... And mate, don't worry, i mean like i adore cello and violin soooo much, instruments which are mostly associated with girls. You can get many boys nowadays who will insult you for that but i still admire it and will continue to. And ballet, thats something i myself would love to do but unfortunately i am bad at dancing and i don't think i can cope up with ballet now because i am 16 and it seems too late as most ballet dancers start young. Anyway don't let others decide what you are, you do because you are you and nobody can take that from you

[@lev_iathan]

hey, boys dancing ballet are beautiful. don't let the bullies stop you from doing what makes you passionate.

[@colombosmarco]

This video really makes me cry...

[@wildcardedits]

Why

[@raynedeath9839]

Same here. >.

[@Rushoooo]

same especially when he touched the other guy's arm

[@sophieminter0]

Just listen to the music. You don't even have to really _hear_ the lyrics to feel sad

[@xoxo2862]

same

[@lovelobo]

every time i watch this i love how he tugs on his jacket when he feels uncomfortable or scared

[@StrawberryHero]

We need more male ballet dancers. I don't know why it's considered to be 'meant for girls'. A guy could like this just as much as a girl does, and has full rights to dance whatever he chooses. We need to think of our fellow guys more.

[@youtubersmw5366]

StrawberryHero I know you made this comment a long time ago but fun little fact (I think) ballet was created for men I think it created for the war or something but men used to do ballet and women didn’t and then suddenly women started to do ballet. I can’t remember why ballet was for men but I remember reading about it or hearing about it somewhere

[@mxar2074]

StrawberryHero There are a lot of professional ballet dancers. You can't perform Giselle without the prince.

[@rizzy2120]

StrawberryHero i know right its kinda annoying girls cant do guy things and guys cant do girl things

[@yeekies85]

i mean american football players tend to do ballet to help with balance and the like. so bulky dudes who draw warpaint on their faces and wear shoulder pads in front of thousands of people may also pointe shoes and tights

[@at_oussama]

the same as 'we need more girls interested in tech and programming'. it's because genders see that hobby/thing as useless and not interesting.

[@a.lee713]

Okay, but can more guys please sign up for dance? We have less than ten at our whole studio and they all take hip-hop.

[@JoaoPedro-so3to]

Ive aways wanted to start dancing but I have trouble dancing near ppl

[@LangstonKarabani]

I'm in dance at my school I started this year and it's fun, I'm the only one in my whole school

[@JoaoPedro-so3to]

[@chaliroceify]

Me too :(

[@camilnx4511]

I think we ALL would be his friend

[@sallenaly1842]

I was still a teenager and I was depressed a lot, I was afraid to come out and used to listen to this music and see this video comforted me, today I'm an adult and a strong man, it makes me funny to listen to this music again , but i love it

[@RolyWestYT]

Ah this was so good

[@oliverlee8546]

[@MandaBear83]

I love Aquilo's music, it's like I hear the music deep in my soul. the feels I get are like no other music can give. This video is great too. very emotional. Keep It up guys!

[@ShiftyxXxGaymer]

Haha please check out ivan torent i love him

[@mynameisvampka]

[@faithpelletier-king4156]

You might like franklin electric. I find them amazing but i have to admit they're better live!:D

[@user-uj4rs6jt5c]

You described what I feel when i hear his voice so well

[@MandaBear83]

MONA Yes his voice is amazing aswell :) the combination of music and his voice is just amazing. I can be feeling bad or having a bad day and play their music and the world and my troubles will just fade away with each melody. I love them truly.

[@rubenarturopj]

I felt the pain in his dance :(

[@daventribrown2333]

evertime bro!

[@hannahmillard9748]

When he started dancing it gave me shivers. I love how so many things can inspire emotion, words, movement, art in every form.

[@palmerthompson9571]

Why can’t songs like this be on the radio

[@ky-pq2ic]

3 years later and this video still gives me chills. Thank you, Aquilo.

[@christianpatrickquispecard3287]

[@angelfuentessanchez9476]

[@MeredithElaineVillanuevaMEV]

[@katherinev5455]

A light piece of glass Begins to fall, it makes me wonder How do I make use of this? I stumble around to find that This is all I've got I stumble around to find that This is all I need Oh, and the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me A sudden thought of disbelief Clouds my every conscience But how do we seek refuge here? I panic a bit to find out that This is all I've got I panic a bit to find out that This is all I need Oh, and the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me How could I misstep? Trouble might speak back How could I misstep? Trouble might speak back Oh, and the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me Oh, and the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me home And the wake up is calling me

[@iolanthekomorebi5778]

I love this so much. It shows that it's ok for guys to dance, and to be gay, and that those who are bullies are simply wasting their time...

[@kaileedecastro1887]

no bro u cant touch my arm that too gay

[@celestetyler8676]

I'm literally so obsessed with this song

[@ScrawnyCBones]

You don't need someone to love you so you can love yourself. Who gives a flying f*ck what those monsters say just because you work hard at something you love to do. Someday you'll be laughing at them because all that work made you a star and your own shine.🌌🌌🌌

[@RinoTheBouncer]

What a wonderful, beautifully directed and meaningful music video.

[@connix69]

Halfway through 2024 and I still love this song.

[@littleprincess3263]

I don't know why but he reminds me of Jimmy Jr. from Bob's Burgers

[@KarlShonasHoran]

hahaha now I can't watch it without thinking that

[@littleprincess3263]

haha right though?!

[@Maneki3Neko]

+Joanna Huynh More like Josh and Jimmy Jr.'s love child.

[@littleprincess3263]

Oliver Renwick omg yaaaaaaahs!!!

[@saierwe]

+Joanna Huynh well this reminds me to Billy Elliot, specialy the scene where he dances in front of his father

[@angelina18christina]

Wow the new Footloose movie looks really good!

[@laurasebezeva9035]

[@stephendonahue3329]

When he walks clutching his jacket close to him, like he wants to be hidden, I tear up. Been there a lot when I was younger.

[@charlieedwards4331]

Absolutely in love with the fact that the art of dance is incorporated into this video!

[@akeshus]

This is awfully underrated and I'm sad this is so beautiful

[@harperb9279]

I have figuratively watched this video 100 times. I still love it.

[@brianmccarthy890]

Ben and Tom are AMAZING!

[@ganjalistic]

I still don't know how I stumbled across Aquilo, never played on the radio etc... Lucky though as I think they're great and deserve more recognition. Always telling people to check em out, whether they do or don't is their issue!

[@Tripsys]

he reminds me of connor franta a bit.

[@joaovitorsanches2162]

Omg me too

[@kileex3030]

omg he is Tronnor's love child

[@wellymubarokh2163]

+Kilee Xiong for real? How could you know that?

[@kileex3030]

+Welly Mubarokh I was just saying that he looks like it not that he actually is lmao

[@nataliarubio4901]

legit the first thing I thought when I saw this video

[@chronickarma4094]

Deadly in love with this song😍😍😍😍

[@jgcaba3173]

Did anyone else get the impression that the main character had a crush on the guy in dance rehearsal but rejected him, and that the group about to attack the main character was because of homophobia.

[@pasemospagina8]

Um... Yes?

[@finneganion]

+John Gabriel Cabayao I think he just wanted a friend. Someone who enjoys dancing as well and won't make fun of him for it. The other kids were just picking on him because he's a guy that dances. It's stereotypically meant for women.

[@HAL-dm1eh]

+John Gabriel Cabayao captian obvious over here

[@BenedictaLT]

+Finnegan Nah dude he obviously had a crush on him, hence why the dude looked so mad/disgusted

[@finneganion]

+Blu he looked mad and disgusted because he assumed other guy was coming on to him. All he wanted was another friend that danced as well and was a guy. The people making fun of him weren't doing it because he might be gay but because dancing is considered a female thing

[@sophieodair529]

His vocals are AMAZINNNGNGG

[@jamoflys]

Can't believe it was 6 years ago I stumbled across this live performance of this band I never heard of in the middle of LA. Feel lucky, not sure I'd have heard of them in my hip hop circles.

[@Spark12355]

É sobre ser inseguro e achar não é o suficiente o bastante. Quando ele se encontrou com a sua essência, autoconfiança, os medos cessaram.

[@vincentrigoli1429]

I like how the bullies are clearly drinking soda. they are clearly living thug life

[@OneScreamItsOverr]

beautiful as always

Oh no, I finally cracked my phone screen dancing 😭 I have danced so many times with wired earbuds on and given my phone such rough treatment, but it has miracolously lasted like 2-3 years of it. Until today. RIP 😔

[@hugobourgon198]

This is how being gay used to feel for a lot of us when we were teen. Being rejected by our pairs, sometimes violently, and being rejected by our crush when we had the courage to tell them. Hopefully, it generally gets better as we grow older. We meet people like us and we can start enjoying life at its fullest.

[@kesspy6503]
