You came for the video (Overcompensate), you stayed for the music (Ride), you were impressed with the lyrics (Next Semester), and now you’re hooked with the lore. Welcome to the clique.
As a videographer, I think you would absolutely love the storytelling of My Blood by TOP. It is not part of the lore of Clancy in Trench, but I really think you would love it.
Just remember these will show a cycle of mental health. Tyler writes in metaphors, and is very involved with the video making process, so there are deeper meanings than what you see.
This is one of my favorites!! This was filmed in Iceland. The cinematography is stunning! And you see the origin story of the black on his neck. I agree … take the ride, yes Nico and the Niners is next. It was filmed in Ukraine. This entire storyline / lore needs to be a movie 🍿 The key things to remember, this is a representation of Tyler’s mental health journey and everything is a cycle, so the timelines criss-cross at times, since when you are battling mental health issues it’s hard to completely break free. Between HeavyDirtySoul and this (first part of the Trench Trilogy), they went radio silent (aka “the hiatus”) for over a year. But during that time, Tyler took the character of Blurryface and the Bishops and created an entire world (Dema) where he could dive in and explore the ways Blurryface controls him. That’s why at the beginning, Tyler says “We’ve been here the whole time. You were asleep. Time to wake up” Tyler has escaped from Dema (which you will see in Nico and the Niners) and Blurryface has come after him. When he puts the black on his neck, it puts Tyler under his control. But the lyrics are basically, he will return to Dema, but the only way to truly control Tyler would be to take away his ability to make music (take me by the throat and break both my hands). It’s hauntingly beautiful. But then he sees the yellow flowers - the Trench color, which represents hope and the Banditos, led by Josh the Torchbearer. They are there but they can’t fight Blurryface, because it’s Tyler’s mental health battle to fight, but they throw the yellow petals to remind Tyler that he isn’t alone and it gives him the courage to break free and run. He stumbles and falls, but Josh is still there watching over him. The sequencing and timeline will make a bit more sense when you watch the “I Am Clancy” album teaser, but I would just keep going through the videos in the playlist.
Side note: the jumpsuit represents protection and the yellow tape represents the Bandito’s rebel color. In the lore, the Bishops can’t see the color yellow (which is an actual form of color-blindness). This album is Tyler acknowledging that he can’t face this battle alone. The jumpsuit and the Banditos can represent faith, family, friends, or other means of support. They even changed the logo from |-/ in Blurryface to ||-// representing the extra bars of protection. And if you notice, the logo is back to |-/ for the Clancy album, but the bars are stronger and can stand solidly on their own.
I love all the jaw dropping moments. You might enjoy watching the behind the scenes videos that accompany these. Also their tour kicks off in August and seeing them live is magical.
I Am Clancy does help piece a lot of this together for you but if you want to watch it after all the lore videos that works too, just ties it all together for you The hooded figure is a clearer look at Blurryface (who was driving in Heavydirtysoul) who develops further into this album and is given the name Nico He has come to capture Tyler and bring him back to the city of Dema that the 9 bishops rule (Nico and the Niners) That is where the next video will start (Nico and the Niners) - with Tyler trapped in Dema Yellow is a color of hope When he's talking about his hands and neck he's meaning if the bishops want to stop him they'll need to stop his ability to create music - and the paint represents insecurities with his music and being controlled by Blurryface
That's Nico/Blurryface one of the 9 bishops on the horse. He puts the black on Tyler's neck which symbolizes Tyler's anxiety and insecurities. He's in Trench trying to escape Dema but he keeps cycling back. The Banditos are his people above the cliff trying to rescue him. Josh the drummer is one of them. If you watch "I am Clancy" video, Tyler explains the lore.
The Banditos tossing yellow flower petals from above mirrors the confetti we get at the end of every concert. Color imagery is big with TOP. Everything with this band is intentional. Enjoy the Ride! I certainly love watching you discover their talent!! ❤|-/💛
My man.. I became a fan of you through REN. And seen you’re in the TOP hole now. My two favorite musicians. They are one of a kind as well like our boy REN. Check out Trees by them. They end ever concert with it. It’s amazing in person and screen. Much love. Live a long happy life
And then what really blows me away is I think this video represents how depression is for some people. The guy on the horse capturing Tyler and Tyler just sort of succumbing, his friends on the ridge trying to help but from afar, a glimpse of hope (yellow petals) and Tyler tries to escape, but stumbles and gets pulled back in again. Genius.
Good morning bud, love your reactions to TØP videos. They don’t do anything by accident. When they released the Trench album, they opened their concerts with this song, totally setting the mood for the whole show. On the second leg of the tour, they sang this song towards the middle of their sets, and immediately followed it with. “Heavydirtysoul, which was epic. Getting 2 of their bangers back to back. Anyway, looking forward to more.. have a great day
Tyler's hair is a lot shorter in the Caddy shots, showing they already knew what they were going to do for this video and shot the sequences for this during the HeavyDirty Soul filming. Such great forethought
I can't think of anyone how has created concept albums that span 10 year project. The world created along the music and videos is amazing. Strange is almost over. The concert means everything
Totally agree! I still can’t believe the record label went with it when Tyler pitched the idea! 😂 It’s very bittersweet that it’s all coming to an end with Clancy. Whatever Tyler is cooking up next will be fire I’m sure, but we’re all so invested in this story, it’s sad to come to the end! We need to wait until spring/summer 2025 for the UK dates! Can’t wait!
Following the story with the playlist isn't bad at all but you're missing out on a LOT of great songs doing that. Though, if you're here for the videos and the story. You're doing it the best way
I’ll leave the lore etc to the others..what I want to say is as fans we watch to enjoy the music, see our boys & uncover the lore, a musician watching would add a certain amount of analysis if the music but watching you add another layer of videography makes for a really interesting reaction. It’s like seeing the whole mv again for the first time. Your mind must be in overdrive 😆 Can’t wait to see you do this journey
love this song and beautiful cinematography. when tyler says 'you have to grab my throat and lift me in the air....tie me down and break both my hands' i think he's talking about the areas of his body that get covered in black paint, the only way he will give in to Blurryface/Nico is if he physically can't make music anymore because it's how he battles with his mental health.
You gotta do “Nico and the Niners” next. Then “Levitate”, but technically it’s all starts with, “My Blood”. It shows their brotherhood and how they’re always there for each other.
I’m so late but glad to see you reacting to more TØP, looking forward to when you see Car Radio, House of gold, and Chlorine. So glad you saw Heavy dirty soul already. I’ll have to look back through the vids to see if I can find that one as it’s one of my faves.
Would love to see you watch the behind the scenes videos for this and others, be great to hear what you see from your videographer perspective that we all probably never picked up on.
You and Mr BP you know are my faves ( AR, Knox, That singer reacts, cliff beats, and now eshplume ) all are amazing but your passion for videography and music hits me especially. The way you feel it is the same for me. I love making digital art videos and this keeps me sane while being bedridden from my health issues and watching you react. Thank you for helping to lighten the burden of my health struggles. Love from Lisa a lyme warrior, cancer survivor, covid pneumonia survivor. Ty 🦠💚🦠💚 Love my family
They are arguably one of the most talented artist out there. It’s truly astonishing what they have done..it’s so great to be a fan. I will always love them
I did...it's amazing! Probably my favorite song so far too...it's getting a manual review so I can get cleared on fair use...but I'm definitely doing the whole story for sure!
@@joeesparks7 Glad you're doing this. Trench is a masterpiece. It dropped after Tyler and Josh went on one of their longest breaks as a band. They had been touring and releasing music nonstop, so when they took this break and went silent it was crickets for what felt like an eternity. Then, all of the sudden the rollout of Trench came in the form of the most unexpected lore reveal with a secret website with all of these mysterious clues and codes for the fan base to unpack. It was fascinating and wild, we had no idea what to expect. When Jumpsuit dropped there was a moment of realizing just how incredible Trench was going to be. The time and effort, the thought process of creating this entire world, the writing, the production, literally everything is amazing. I can't wait to watch your journey, Levitate is FIRREEEEEE.
your face when Nico road out haha F I know , i know its epic ! This song with its lyrics " spirits in my room , friend or foe. Felt it in my youth, feel it when I'm old" hit all my childhood traumas. im a SA survivor advocate.
I feel like you should watch. I am Clancy first and then finish with Nico And The Niners and Levitate and then Saturday and then the outside and then Overcompensate. Because you’ll understand the videos more after you watch that I am Clancy video.
Can’t find it on my phone, doesn’t mean it’s not there somewhere, I just can’t find it. But maybe he’ll add it to a playlist for their songs at some point?
Just out of curiosity, does the director direct the shot, or are you solely responisple? Always wondered that. Does the filmographer make the director?
You came for the video (Overcompensate), you stayed for the music (Ride), you were impressed with the lyrics (Next Semester), and now you’re hooked with the lore. Welcome to the clique.
Yay! We're twenty one pilots and so are you! ❤|-/💛

2nd this, My Blood is a must watch
That's definitely my favorite TØP video.

Yes the next one is "Nico And The Niners" then "Levitate"....you won't be disappointed!
Omg yes, another vote for Nico and the Niners too!! ❤

I hope someday Tyler can create a movie or write a book to go along with his vision. He blows my mind.

So happy you are back!
They go in order

If you only knew the amount of joy I felt when they released this! It was my 1st new album after I became a Clique member.
Playlist please! 🙏
I feel like you should watch. I am Clancy first and then finish with Nico And The Niners and Levitate and then Saturday and then the outside and then Overcompensate. Because you’ll understand the videos more after you watch that I am Clancy video.
Great reaction! How can we watch the heavydirtysoul reaction?
I’m going to look to see if he put it as a separate video (cut out from the live), if I find it I’ll post the link here. :)
Can’t find it on my phone, doesn’t mean it’s not there somewhere, I just can’t find it. But maybe he’ll add it to a playlist for their songs at some point?
Going to the concert tonight...!!!
Got to do Nico and the niners and then levitate for the trilogy off the album
Nico & the Niners, Levitate are awesome! Check them out❤
❤️🔥🫶🏻🏴
I really like that one, but you still haven't done Car Radio?
Just out of curiosity, does the director direct the shot, or are you solely responisple? Always wondered that. Does the filmographer make the director?
Nico and the niners is next
You need to react to Bandito please 🙏
I did...loved it! It's sooooo good! Stay tuned foe the bandito reaction, releasing soon
Go directly to Levitate ☮️💜
Have you seen Nico and the Niners? It expaims a ;pt
