Erik Willms you should writ poetry

[@allisfaith]

His family was very poor and they thought by sending him at a boarding school for dance that he could eventually make money for the family. He had a come to Jesus moment and realize this while he was dancing for the Royal Ballet - the top of the top - and had a mini meltdown and got a tattoo (a big no no in top ballet dancer). Then his dance company fired him and he ended up going on talent shows that are on TV in his home country even though he was well known and incredibly talented. That had to be so hard but he persevered. He was catapulted into worldwide fame when he danced to “take me to church”. I would search that on KZbin because it’s incredible.

I can't describe it, but at about 2:47, when the choir starts singing, I feel like the human prison I'm trapped in is ripped away, revealing my iridescent soul, and I can finally be free enough to dance with the wind, and it feels like my tears can become star dust, and this new form is limitless, and my heart pounds from the depths of my soul, and I want to sing and raise my voice so loud the moon will hear it. It feels like what true, pure, love feels like. Not a soft, gentle love, but loud, adrenaline inducing, heart pounding, love that no man could ever truly give me. It feels like the universe's excitement, love, and longing for adventure put into song form, for us mere humans to enjoy.

“When you move i moved” that line can be so threatening or so comforting. It reminds me of arsonists lullaby. “Never tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash.” The pain and the suffering. The peace and the love. The hurting and the healing. Your demons are there with you. Keeping you company in your own madness. You may ignore them but they remain. 2:46 feels like the fight.

For me it's clear this song is about the movements that a lover (who is about to leave you) causes in yourself, the dance seems a metaphor for the experience of being in love. He got two versions, one white and the other dark, as the decision of "should I stay or should I go?", the angel and the devil whispering in your ears. But just as we are astonished seeing him dancing, the narrator is as well, while watching his lover's departure movements

[@mermaiddews889]

This song is just so powerful because it's you who are telling yourself to move instead of another person telling you to. It's fine, it's completely fine if there's no one by your side as long as YOU are by your side. You don't need anyone to motivate you, YOU are more than enough to pick yourself up without needing anybody. Instead of waiting for someone to pick you up, let your own self be the one you are looking for.

Here's my take: in the beginning, he is being moved by his inner demons--what he is trying to escape from. He literally spins out of control. Then, for a moment, he allows himself to be moved by hope, until he closes himself off to it in the elevator, feeling he is not worth it. In the white is his future self who knows what he had to go through. That is why he can't help. Hope runs after him to pull him back.

I realize it's just the one guy but the way it matches (including the darker one trying and falling) is PERFECTION.

[@oldmoviemusic]

I love how his rage, his nihilism is portrayed as the active presence - his objectively 'good' self is passive, only a comment upon his tormented state, not interested enough to participate in the battle for his mind. At the start of the video it is his despair that begins the journey with him, his objective goodness that observes his downfall, but it is his rage that follows him closely, claws at his mind, sees his weakness and acts on it, with it, in it, every time. It is that nihilistic rage that will push him off of that rooftop, his goodness that will observe it wordlessly, and his despair that will watch it happen, helpless, not knowing whether to be in anguish at the futility of it or at the realization that the rage, acting without comment from the good, may have been justified.
