X Ambassador's emotional track 'UNSTEADY’ perfectly underscores a couple at their breaking point. “UNSTEADY” speaks to everyone who's contemplated walking away from a love that may or may not be worth fighting for.
Pre production for this video took place prior to the horrific events in Orlando on June 12, 2016. Love brings joy and love brings pain. To love is to be brave, for to lose love is the greatest loss a human will ever know. To those lost in Orlando and to the loved ones who were left behind, we stand with you in strength and most importantly, in LOVE.

*To all those people who are confused, the guy in the black shirt is trying to push his partner away. See how he always catches his boyfriend whenever he dives at him or leans towards him shows that he is supportive of his partner but whenever the blonde guy is trying to get him to open up or the moment they get too close, the guy in the black shirt pushes him away. Which translates into trust issues and low self esteem which makes him think that his partner is better off without him (which happens in a lot of relationships) but they hug in the end and stay at the same table indicating that they made it through.*

[@dumbasheck4666]

The end table scene leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Like nothing was actually resolved- they’ll repeat the cycle. The black shirt guy just pulled away way too fast for any improvement..

[@SteelRaider17]

@@dumbasheck4666 damn that's one perspective.

[@Lizzy_Delion]

@@dumbasheck4666 I know from being a part of LGBT community that he pushes his partner away because some people in society hate on them and if he's like me and self conscious and doesn't want any harm to befall his beloved. It's wrong but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some opinions cost others happiness.

[@dumbasheck4666]

I don’t think you have to be apart of the LGBT+ community to recognise the saddening, common truth about some queer relationships however there is no actual proof within the dance to suggest your idea- I do like it though. I just think the dance expresses a lot about trying open up and trusting, etc, just like within all relationships. I think it’s powerful when people use LGBT+ people to demonstrate ordinary/non restricted stories so that anyone can relate to them- not just other LGBTs. Helps people relate and become more aware of how similar everyone just is

[@Lizzy_Delion]

@@dumbasheck4666 yes I agree that it puts it into perspective.

I will never understand why people continue to believe that romantic love between two men is revolting. There's literally no difference between the love these two men share and the love between a man and a woman.

[@badblood9805]

ChthonicRemains PREACH👌

[@strikleandlinggang5623]

ChthonicRemains yes there's no difference to a man n a woman -so as to rich guy with a poor woman(n opposite) so as to somebody's with disability with a "normal" person- so as to black n white ,so as to Asian with black/white/orange/other colours - so as to someone's love to a person tat hve very little time left in this world and about to die-so as to a Muslim with Christian -so as to Jewish with christian yes- its no less -no more - what makes a man to a man romantic relationship any difference than others- is it bcs how they fight the "order" where man should be with a woman- or is it bcs of the amount of hates they receive than other loves which make the love more pain-sucks n all- but yet again it is no less no more than other loves- same love been through same pain-same lost-same grief .What make it no more different than others?

[@totallynoticarus]

That would be a difference in relationship. What the original post said was 'no difference between the love'. Your race, ethnicity, religion and gender don't influence how much you love someone or the bond that you share.

[@dorothyz.m.3913]

Yep

[@taehyungstan1204]

I believe that the love between two men is greater then the love between a man and a woman

[@HailG3]

This is why I love two guys or two girls dancing together: there are no predetermined "roles" and both partners are equal. Come to think of it, that's also what I love about same sex relationships

[@cecilevalmont3709]

I think we look at it the wrong way. In every relationship the partners are equal, we just need to find a balance. Also, preterditermined roles are disappearing because of the society changes and how we see each other As an example, I am attracted to "feminine" looking men, as a woman, which destroys the stereoptype. BUT THE DANCING WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[@robinantivar9223]

The blonde hair guy's expressions are everything, Damn he made me cry, awesome video!

[@LandJShepard]

That's Kent Boyd, and he's the most amazing, and hilarious dance teacher in the world. Whenever him and Brooke are in the same room it creates this feeling that makes me laugh SO hard. Once Kent told us that Brooke was the weirdest and then everyone told Brooke that he said that. Then Kent walks in a few mins later and Brooke says, "They told me you said I was weirder? Is that true?" And Kent's face was so funny we all just burst out laughing. Then they had a "Battle of the Weird" it was so funny and you would've had to be there to know just how great it was.

I think the video speaks about the frustration of wanting to love someone but knowing you can't. And I think it portrays the inner struggle between both parties in the situation. Where the blond guy was the one desperately wanting to fix or achieve the love he desired while the other guy struggled with what his heart wanted and what his mind wanted. It was a beautiful depiction of love not about homosexuality

I am back and this is still my favourite dance piece I've ever seen. I am so moved and heartbroken. The way they are never stable unless they are touching. The aching way they fall and cling to each other its so desperate and passionate, only for them to push each other away again, forced apart.

[@Raisedone]

This dance has such emotion in it, with each move, each push and pull it just tugs at your heart strings. There is a distinct chemistry between the two dancers, they are perfectly in sync. You would almost guess Kent and Will are in a relationship, seemingly knowing one another's moves so well. This really shows some true talent and hard work!

[@KeroRDJ]

why, you're the one who made the music, or the video was made for you? I'm heterosexual, that doesn't mean I can't feel strongly in front of it. Your sexual preferences have nothing to do with anything here. Sorry if it comes harsh, but I'm tired of seeing people relate to videos or stuff because of their sexuality. You are bisexual SO you are honored ? it sounds like without your preferencies, this music and/or video wouldn't mean anything to you.

[@zebraz9405]

Actually this music and video can mean a lot to me. I have heard the song many times before this video. I can relate to it however I would like it is special to me and you have no place to tell me how it can't be. There is way more meaning then my sexuality for this song to me and I'm sorry if I affended you in anyway but, you need to calm down because that was so rude of you and, I am not saying you can't feel strongly about it I was talking about how the video is coming off to me and that is how I saw it!

XxNicolexX _Miranda_ well if it came rude I'm sorry. you were indeed talking about yourself, wich obviously includes your personal experiences.

[@Mast3rH3r0]

The true beauty of this piece is the small details that were hidden inside it.. Kent gazes, his eyes were begging for more from his partner, he followed every move with a counter.. The doubt of his partner fighting his deep love, this moment when he pushed him away then hugged his foot as apology and a message to stay. Those small details that make this piece totally distinguish.

I just want to be there for him, and know he's ok. I want to wipe the tears away when he breaks down, tell him he's safe when he gets scared. I want to be able to just care for him. But I can't, and it tears me apart. At the end of the video when they're just holding each other, I lost it. To most people it seems normal, but to me it's something I fear I may never get to experience. To be able to be held in someone's arms that you love with all of your being, is truly a magical thing.

If you don't mind me asking, how are things going with you and him?

[@thefandomfish3071]

best of luck to you and your boyfriend (if you’re still together, i don’t know much abt the circumstances of your relationship)!

[@WBFNBS8809]

I think a lot of people take for granted the pleasure of touching someone you love so deeply just being physically in there presence is an amazing, beautiful thing.

[@calemlandry5634]

I have a very minor understanding of how you feel friend. My best friend if mtf (is that how you put it? I’m still trying to learn.) and she came out to me last year. I’ve been doing my best to support her, but she doesn’t live in the best house and her dysphoria paired with her other problems have driven her to terrible things. We can all make it through though. I believe it because I have to

[@marasmith9890]

When he picked him up and just held him at the end😩😩😍💕!!!

[@angelcutieforev]

This was the most amazingly beautiful thing I've ever watched

[@faithngugi91]

[@lanestovall1715]

[@aralyivana4563]

THEY BETTER BE MARRIED!! so much passion was put into this. I'm shook

[@bwokki]

i dont know anything about dance and still i cry every time i watch this, i can feel the pain so clearly...

[@Kayla-rs6wr]

So much emotion in every single movement, in every individual expression, in every beat - this has touched my soul

[@0981462]

How did I watch this ONLY NOW?? AMAZING!

[@candlestixsmixedwithtrixs]

Their expressions and dancing show so much emotion and I am freaking *crYING IN MY BATHROOM FOR HOW POWERFUL THE MAIN IDEA IS FOR THIS VIDEO*

[@lexic3048]

loved the Lin quote at the beginning ❤️

[@charlieedwards4331]

The partnering trick at 1:48 is my favorite part of the video!

[@TaylorHam]

I've never watched a dance that has made me wonder how it must feel to do it until this video. The emotion, the moves, the trust. I wish I could know how they feel swirling around in perfect unity like that. What must be going through their minds. Beautiful.

[@lydiahoderlein9317]

doesn't the ending break anyone else's heart!?

[@shxdowsinger]

[@scottmoore7809]

Raaage is he Kent?????OMG O.O

[@celestecanspeak1103]

I’m not a dancer, not by a long shot, but I love watching videos of dancing. I’ve probably watched hundreds, thousands over the years. I don’t think I’ve EVER watched a video with two men being intimate, and I love this so much. I love the pure emotion and trust these two dancers have. I love the dancing itself. It’s beautiful.

[@LesShipsAhoy]

y'all better bring it on 20 more times because I need more of this in my life😊

[@jamiebazeley7001]

i liked this song the moment i saw Lin's quote

[@hannahdykeman8932]

Jamie Bazeley same

[@qu3va.r210]

Love the Lin reference

[@reanagordon8147]

I absolutely love this. I’ve replayed it so many times, it’s become an obsession. Despite the tragic storyline, you see so much trust between the two dancers throughout the whole video. There is absolutely no apprehension in any of the jumps or lifts. And it’s so freakin passionate!! Their expressions and the emotions in the movement was so incredible ❤️❤️

[@shonta20161]

Never thought I could feel something threw a video like I did... i loved that so much... so many emotions going threw me right now...again loved it

[@lchap619]

This was the most beautiful thing I've seen all year. ❤💜💚💙💛

[@alexciabailey7935]

How am I just now seeing this in 2019!!?? 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ is there a KZbin awards Category: dance duo that I missed? Because this hands down should’ve won. I felt all these emotions 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@cassidysharp9236]

y'all when it starts with Lin Manuel Miranda quotes it's good 👌 but I also really appreciate this so much, bc both men played the "male" and "female" roles and that's cool this is cool

[@asuuulkz5688]

Cassidy Sharp what do you mean

[@Nymbusangel]

AsuuulKZ basically in dance the traditional way was male role is the lead and the female is the submissive in this both men take turns being the lead and the submissive partner

[@jayyo1788]

I don't know but watching this makes me cry. The emotion portray by both artists you can genuinely feel it. 😍

[@IziFiz]

I was barely hanging on until the end. The hug, that last little desperate cling they had with each other. I have no words. This was awe inspiring.

[@mei-br7ch]

I don't care if it's two boys, the dance made me cry.

[@fenne3088]

I love how good the hight difference works, I basically love everything

[@ellenhill837]

I can't express how happy I am to see a same sex dance! And it shows me that there is still hope and still some decency in this world where so many terrible things happen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@SignFromAngels]

absolutely love it. we need these little acts of beauty in the face of this tragedy.

[@lucasraventon111]

Six years later and I still cry at how intimate this is!

[@suzys8558]

the song and dance is SO BEAUTIFUL and DAMN are they EVER flexible! yoga here I come!

[@abolishgarfield]

This brought me to tears because it is so beautiful and it has so much meaning. If anyone is questioning their sexuality or gender, never be afraid to talk to others because there are so many people out there who support you, please never give in to bullying or negativity. I went through it as well, I am gender fluid and gay but I never let others put me down because I am proud of who I am. I love you all.

[@jeremychavis6341]

I legit cried. That was beautiful.

[@julesb.1840]

It looks like they're fighting but can't help being in love and it's beautiful.
