[@leawas_here]

[@robo9904]

He went so gay he froze time. I respect that.

[@maggyachidi5398]

No, you need to chill lol😂😂😂

[@raphaelcarlong9751]

I completely agree, I'm gay even 😂😂

[@nathaliecolombo4205]

That was a beautiful comment 😂👌🏻

[@matissever7483]

you sir are correct

[@berry1057]

all i aspire to be

[@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]

I AGREE💯💯💯

[@frognr2]

[@hemaray611]

This was so beautiful. I absolutely loved it.

[@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 :)

[@Jiggy009]

6 years later, this is still golden .... ♥️

[@USE_Flushable_Wipes]

Facts

[@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]

actually, charmed did it first with piper freazing time

[@YellowCrystalSun]

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.

[@YellowCrystalSun]

Jose Dela Cruz Thank you. ^^

[@carloskaram3576]

now thats deep

[@carloskaram3576]

when the guy swatted his hand away my heart broke

[@lakeishameriez2061]

But the timing with the music though...... was worth it

[@kr.sthian]

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

[@patrickquispe28]

Always ❤️

[@lovelobo]

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

[@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]

i thought i was the only one to notice that

[@chanelparfait1378]

Izza Ismail The chick never even finished that Coke

[@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

[@hannahmillard9748]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@RolyWestYT]

Ah this was so good

[@oliverlee8546]

Why hello Roly ✌️😌✌️

[@jasminepayne1895]

p

[@overthecounterbeanie]

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

[@blerocket4196]

You gave the absolute clue of the solution to my confusion. I always wanted to listen to this song, whenever i was confused now i got why.

[@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.

[@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]

MandaBear83 You might would like Sleeping At Last too then. :)

[@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.

[@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 😆

[@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...

[@palmerthompson9571]

Why can’t songs like this be on the radio

[@connix69]

Halfway through 2024 and I still love this song.

[@mackysobrevega1780]

looks like I found a new band! thank you youtube suggestions!

[@solanaferreyra4176]

👍

[@charlieedwards4331]

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

[@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

[@brianmccarthy890]

Ben and Tom are AMAZING!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@RinoTheBouncer]

What a wonderful, beautifully directed and meaningful music video.

[@laurasebezeva9035]

I have listened to this song 1000 times, and will 1000 more.

[@harperb9279]

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

[@celestetyler8676]

I'm literally so obsessed with this song

[@palemoonlight96]

I fell in love with this song & video for everything it stands for but aquilo are much more than that

[@natasha.lawrie]

Aquilo just keeps producing great songs, song after song!!!!!!!!!!!

[@onthetpicofhopefulunderton1081]

That one person who refuses to do the mannequin challenge

[@Eating_Sunflowers]

I started crying when the people froze and he was just dancing, it was so beautiful and meaningful, words cannot describe.

[@sunnywithachanceofluke1754]

I want to pet his hair. It looks soft.

[@harperb9279]

*hair starts purring*

[@p147789]

Me too

[@akeshus]

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

[@virginiaspizzico8937]

how could someone even think about disliking this video? I'm a big fan of aquilo and apart from the song, which I found really elegant in its simpleness, the music video has an extremely important and powerful meaning, I appreciated it from the beginning to the end and I think there's still lots of people out there who should watch it and meditate on the issues that are so intelligently and pointed out

[@virginiaspizzico8937]

*intelligently pointed out

[@rubenarturopj]

I felt the pain in his dance :(

[@MilnaAlen]

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 😔

[@kr.sthian]

It's so beautiful how he expresses himself and can't be affected by others while dancing, you can feel it.

[@androidedoidao]

Where is this band from? cuz here in Brasil, aquilo means literally "that"

[@mm8243]

+Mega Bacon they're from the UK

Está canción me hace sentir tan libre, además de lo que transmite el video, creo que la encontré en 2016 y sigue pareciéndome genial.

[@arianarose4180]

When he started dancing and they froze, I started actually crying. This song hit me so hard. There was definitely a lot of thought into this and I appreciate that. The lyrics, the vocals, music, and video made me so emotional. :(

[@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.

[@Laporje]

This is beautiful. Made me cry.

[@clementinetomlinson4104]

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

[@ummetozcan773]

new favorite right here! love the song & the video! wonderful!!!

[@pigeon8466]

This is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. I am a dancer and this is so accurate. I dance because its my release. I don't do it to please any one, i dance to help my anxiety and do what I love.

[@sofar2218]

he straight up the world those guys just to dance, what a queen♡

[@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.🌌🌌🌌

[@melodic-innocent4111]

He is literally such a beautiful human being, the song is very deep and I love it but I can't get over his soft eyes, pale skin, dark lashes and brows and kind looking face, he's so attractive in such a pure way.

it was in my recommendations and I'm glad I clicked on the video. This song is stunning.

This is so amazing. And his dancing is art.

amazing. your an inperation. this video is keep being true to yourself dont let the world drag u down

[@ihahong]

C'mon dude you've got this superpower and all you do is dancing??!!!

[@ezrahandkelsi8212]

his dancing at the end literally gave me goosebumps

[@WaaboozWoodworx]

I dont shed tears to many songs, this one did.

[@Tripsys]

he reminds me of connor franta a bit.

[@joaovitorsanches2162]

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

[@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

[@littleprincess3263]

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

[@takeoverthemoonV]

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]
