I agree spaghetti betty, I was staying in a hotel and woke up at 6am to see this song at random on my list. I can relate to the girl, none of us are perfect and sometimes we seek acceptance from others or hide when we should just say screw it and dance.
It’s incredible how much the human mind is willing to tear down it’s “host” you could say... We can almost all find beauty in everyone and everything, but ourselves.
If it weren't for negative consequences then evolution would not work. We humans are priveleged to have a conscious process be a component of negative reinforcement of our thought process actions. This means that we aren't selected by outside pressures in how we choose to act. We are capable of selecting entirely on our own. It's part of what makes us true individuals. Or as close to individuality and independence as we, a collection of matter that is trapped in the chain of universal cause and effect, can get.
5 years ago, I was scrolling through recommendations while laying in bed with my new love. We fell in love with this song and listened to it a lot over the years. I remember it blaring on the radio through all those sunsets and late night drives down winding backroads. He passed away 4 weeks ago today, leaving behind our two kids. This is the first time I've been able to listen to this song and it hits me hard in my grief. I'm still halfway to nowhere, indeed 💔
please find strength to live, and to love. I've never known love like yours, so I don't know where you are. but every life is worth living, and every minute of life is precious. please don't forget that. best of luck to you
@K Hart , agradeça a Deus pela sua vida, numca encontrei alguém que entendesse minha dor também. a muito tempo eu procuro uma pessoa/companheira, que me entende e me ajudasse na vida, como um amor de mãe que é verdadeiro.
“The meaning behind the song is really... just the frustration of life: things you have, things you want, hope for the future, but also the failure to act upon it” - Chelou Wow, I'm struck. 1000 thumbs up.
Most people I've shown this find it creepy and unsettling but to me this video paired with the music is unbelievably soothing. It's like an ancient being that understands me to the core
Ruthless4Life Dude right. I just discovered this song yesterday and I've listened to it at least 50 times already and for some weird reason I get some strong feels from this song.
Take aways: 1. Self acceptance is a daily struggle, but something to continually strive to pursue. 2. Without a doubt, it's a jungle out there. 3. Music, apart from being a time machine, can be a warm embrace. It can act as an aid to help us really feel what we need to feel in any given moment. It allows us to feel less alone through the lyrics or instrumentals that communicate to our souls in just the right way that we need in that moment. This music video was a great piece of art and very profound in meaning (well, from what I interpreted from it). The song itself is also superb - "I'm still halfway to nowhere, I'm still nothing today" - a shared experience for so many. Thank you Chelou.
i bought this random phonecase of aliexpress with that demon on it and never knew the artist. she's amazing, her work is so different and daring i absolutely love it
nap ing same. As a guy dating a girl with a realistic body (she isn’t an Instagram model) I’m really happy with this. Plus the song in general is really nice.
Billybob James Instagram models... Guys should stop giving them so much attention. They have tons of plastic surgery. They photoshop, pose in ways that changes their bodies...
6 years later is nice to see that this song is getting the recognition it deserves, when I first found this it didn't even have a million views and this was my secret self medication song for depression etc. but I'm so glad more people found this pure gem
mmaaannnn I wish I had 1. the money for good software 2. good software (for animation) 3. s k i l l s ? ? ? ? OMG UHG I LOVE I've been obsessing with this ever since I saw and/or heard this (like three days ago lol oops bUT STILL) YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY LEVEL OF LOVE !!1!1!1!1!1!!1!1!1
I kinda forgot that most people DO have imperfections like the girl in the beginning. Like, I always think I'm the only one that has those imperfections. Because in my eyes everybody seems so perfect execpt for me Edit: It's been 9 months sense I wrote this. Things have definitely gotten harder but I'm beginning to find comfort in the fact that I'm not the only person who feels this way. Please remember you are all absolutely beautiful and every human being is different. I love y'all.❤️

i found this art work a long time ago and always wondered who was the artist. Now randomly RUclips recommend me this video and I WAS THRILLED I FINALLY HAVE THE ANSWERS
"I sing for pleasure, I've sang for pain, I'm still halfway to nowhere, I'm still nothing today" ♡♡♡ perfect chorus..... "They tell me good things come to those who wait" 💕💕 perfect line
My 3 years old nephew was standing me by when I was enjoying this song and he had many questions in mind. I tried to give him answers as if I'm explaining a cartoon. He fell in love with this song as he now knows what body shaming is. I'm happy to see him ready to see beauty in everyone. Teach your kids how to love ❤
this song describes how i feel - like i'm just trying to be someone but at the same time not knowing where to go and the instrumental perfectly goes with the lyrics truly a masterpiece
Chelou means weird/strange in French (basically it's the word 'louche' spelled backwards (we use to spell backwards some of our words...)) I think the band name really suits to this video and the whole atmosphere, but not in a wrong way Great job for the animation btw edit: wow this is the first time ever I get so much like, thanks :)
it's From Marseille Slang Verlan which the way to speak by reversing word Chelou Actually is Louche in French. (In English Verlan would be backword Speaking)
How do you get out of bed in the morning? How do you wake to carry the day? Yeah I sing for pleasure I've sung for pain I'm still halfway to nowhere I'm still nothing today They tell me good things come to those who wait Despite the process along that came from fame Yeah I sing for pleasure I've sung for pain I'm still halfway to nowhere I'm still nothing today Yeah I sing for pleasure I've sung for pain I'm still halfway to nowhere I'm still nothing today
as a teenager we most find ourselves in immense depression because of our looks but my grandpa told me a very special thing to me to this day that cured it all "look, when you get older which is inevitable, you will not care about your looks because your old, you will look back into your teenage days and remember when you still cared about stuff like that, and when you are scared about dyeing inevitably, remember that it will come out of no where and you will not even notice it happening, like most people you will die in your sleep and know nothing at all. you wont feel anything and will not think anything, you will be eternally at peace knowing that nothing happened, live your life how you like it and don't take everything so seriously, just have fun and laugh at your mistakes."
What i got from the video is that is trying to represent our times self- doubt and loathing. The girl turns into a devil when she looks at her reflection in the mirror, thus reinforcing the idea that she is not happy with her true self. The rest of the video represents her struggles with her identity, and running away indicates that she is trying to escape her negative thoughts. When she approaches the green creature, who envitably rejects her as she is different, the action of putting the green mask on was to try and disguise her true self, to be accepted by societies generalised norms and values. Climbing the tree is a symbol of her trying to climb to this "goal" which in unattainable, as she is not being true to herself. However when she enticed by the spirit singing in the clouds, she then takes an alternative path in which she is then infactuated with the spirit. The dancing and the removal of the devils skin implies that she finally feels comfortable and that all her self doubt in the moment of time has disappeared. Her waking up back in her bed suggests that she is back in touch with reality, and that it now up to her to decide whether to use her spirtual enlightenmight throughout the rest of her life, or to go back to the tiresome self doubt.
not bad john Boy, but you were supposed to shut up, as your intelligence is a qualified devils instrument down the surface where people make devil jokes and run around like Joker (Batman). Also not hating, but we are too much, too wierd. Maybe also ugly?
WHY the fuck aren't my algorithms working like this?!?!?! all I get is mantis shrimps and golden girls reruns.........Which I LOVE but this....is a gem!
i love the connection between the video and the song without the video i would have never heard the whole song, and due to that i have seen like 300 times the video now im in love with the song, and without the song, the video would be so boring.
How do you get out of bed in the morning How do you wait to carry the day Yeah i sing for pleasure Ive sang for pain Im still half way to nowhere Im still nothing today They tell me good things come to those who wait Despite the process along that came from fame Yeah i sing for pleasure Ive sang for pain Im still halfway to nowhere Im still nothing today Yeah i sing for pleasure Ive sang for pain Im still halfway to nowhere Im still nothing today
Amazing how this video captures how I feel when I first wake up getting ready for school and the new day. Room is a mess. I feel like crap, insecure and unmotivated. But my shadows and other people that are like me give me a reason to keep going… Mindlessly, I checked my phone looking towards the future, towards validation, towards a virtual reality … might as well instead of staying in sorrow. Halfway to nowhere gives me freedom in this simply seldom acceptance… It all matters and it all doesn’t. It’s just up to us.
I first listened to this song back in November 2021 while being mentally stuck for hours not working on my part for a group presentation, and it helped me take a breather while visualizing something that really helped calm be down. I finally un-stuck myself and was able to work again! I still use the same visualization to this day whenever I feel too paralyzed to work. I much appreciate this song and the beautiful animation paired with it. Sappy as it is to say, it really changed my life.
i found this music and video clip at such a weird state of my life, I was new to a country I moved in, was too innocent but still open to confront these all new problems, live through them, feel to the core every feeling, and this song made so much somehow . Now , 5 years later, I listen to it, it doesn't hit me as much as in the beginning, but it is a reminder about that time. thank you!
I remember seeing this video for the first time when I was 7. I absolutely loved it. Everything about it is so amazing. The style, the music and the meaning. Truly one of my favorite songs.
when i was younger i was very self conscious about my body, i was always disgusted by my figure and the way everything looked on me. one night i met this girl who looked amazing, her style was very unique & everything she wore looked so good on her, she introduced me to this song one evening, i learned to love myself, and then i fell in love with her too. shes now been my best friend for over three years and some nights i cant help but cry myself to sleep listening to this because it reminds me that i may never be able to hold her the way I’ve always dreamed to.
the only shots you 100% miss are the ones you dont take... Tell her man, i know you are scared that she will be weirded out and/or your friendship will suffer but i guarantee you that it wont, it takes massive massive strength to tell somebody something like that but you can do it 100%!!!
@@cubed5728 right ?! I asked my friend of 15 years to go on a date with me and now we’re seeing each other and I haven’t been happier. I hope things work out 🥰
from the first moment I heard this song and saw such a beautifully created clip I have totally fell in love. every girl knows these strange feelings.. doesn't recognise herself, hates herself, wants to hide from the whole world… I can remember like it was yesterday. I'm reeeealy happy that this chapter is all over me, but still… this song remainds me of some special kind of purity, that was in these times inside me. in times when my closest friends were in the woods and I was able to spend eternity there all alone. just me, enormous tall trees, wild water and animals that walked around and didn't notice me 'cause I was part of them. oh… lovely lovely, lovely memories! :'))
It's important to remember that whether you're thin, fat, average, tall, short, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you are being a good person. Heck, sometimes, you might be a bad person, and that's okay too. We're humans, we're flawed. Mistakes will happen. As long as you keep living, and building on yourself, you are doing all you need to.
i wish people could cut each other (and themselves) some slack for once. no one is gonna be what’s considered to be a “good” “nice” or “cool” person 24 fucking 7. because we experience PLENTY of other emotions besides happiness. and people will choose to perceive you however they want to, whether it’s positive or negative. people could say you’re selfish just because you’re taking more time for yourself instead of helping them 24/7. life isn’t about pleasing everyone around you. you’re not here to be the “perfect person”. it’s such fucking bullshit and i wanna slap everyone who still thinks this way. IT’S SUCH FUCKING RAT RACE SOCIETY BULLSHIT
@@garebeast373 what's with all the anger inside me? why wouldn't I be angry about bullshit societal standards? also, this comment had struck a chord with me, because I recently came to the conclusion that I won't always be a good person, and I was gonna stop pretending I was. I've always been pretending that I have nothing but good intentions, and most of the time I do. but sometimes I just don't give a shit, and that's fine, because no one is perfect anyways, so why should it matter if I'm perceived as "perfect" or not? no one has to like me if they don't want to. trying to get everyone to like you is stupid anyways. I'm not here to make everyone like me, I'm here to be myself
esse clipe tem uma mensagem muito profunda, a gente se contamina com o mundo, com a maldade, mas é na perdição que nos encontramos, pra sabermos quem realmente somos, após termos essa consciência, não precisamos mais do que precisávamos antes, é simplesmente o caminho que percorremos que nos leva a nós mesmos. Ser quem somos, com nossos aprendizados pelo caminho que passamos.
I just discovered this and I love it. This is exactly what i need in my life right now. If you read this, I hope you are safe. Hope is lofty, but the sky is real.
There’s not many things better than a good trip. Diving deep into some meaningful thoughts and questions while watching visually intriguing music videos. Learning more about yourself and the things around you, and what makes you, TRULY YOU.

i love the connection between the video and the song
without the video i would have never heard the whole song, and due to that i have seen like 300 times the video now im in love with the song, and without the song, the video would be so boring.
I love Polly's art and it matches the vibe of the song in such a perfect way it feels like a fever dream
The animations definitely have a deeper meaning
Agebqj Abbwq its basically a woman fighting her inner demons i think
How do you get out of bed in the morning
How do you wait to carry the day
Yeah i sing for pleasure
Ive sang for pain
Im still half way to nowhere
Im still nothing today
They tell me good things come to those who wait
Despite the process along that came from fame
Yeah i sing for pleasure
Ive sang for pain
Im still halfway to nowhere
Im still nothing today
Yeah i sing for pleasure
Ive sang for pain
Im still halfway to nowhere
Im still nothing today
They tell me good things come to those who wait
To speed the process along I came to tempt fate
To speed... No Despite... Otherwise good
Bless You
Phmm
Ookm
I'd like to cover myself with moss and disappear for a while
Ava Grace sameeee
Eat some shrooms
Eat some mushrooms. That’s definitely what the video is trying to get at
Me 2
same
Man, thank you for making your music. It helps me calm down in the hard times and joyful in the good ones
I swear I've watched this hundreds of times. The combination of the art and this song are so awesome. Go Polly Nor!
i need more things like this in my recommendations
The animation and the sound remind me of Radiohead in the 90’s...love this
Radiohead and Pinback.
Idk, this sounds like it should be on Bojack Horseman
Would fit so good
La belle personne 😍
YOOO!!!! I've watched that show 13 times total. This would fit into the start of the next episode (upcoming)
Yes
God yassss
This song is art 🔥
That was such a beautiful message
Amazing how this video captures how I feel when I first wake up getting ready for school and the new day. Room is a mess. I feel like crap, insecure and unmotivated. But my shadows and other people that are like me give me a reason to keep going… Mindlessly, I checked my phone looking towards the future, towards validation, towards a virtual reality … might as well instead of staying in sorrow.
Halfway to nowhere gives me freedom in this simply seldom acceptance… It all matters and it all doesn’t. It’s just up to us.
This song has made me make better decisions and idk why
what decisions?
cuz its bout' enlightenment
Came from love watts, great music
love watts, the best art explorer....

ThatModestCow aaay frank ocean fan right here!
this song was with me when i was alone at my 15 years old.. and now i repeat on loop like an eternal mantra.. thanks
as a 15 year old sitting alone in his room hello
I first listened to this song back in November 2021 while being mentally stuck for hours not working on my part for a group presentation, and it helped me take a breather while visualizing something that really helped calm be down. I finally un-stuck myself and was able to work again! I still use the same visualization to this day whenever I feel too paralyzed to work. I much appreciate this song and the beautiful animation paired with it. Sappy as it is to say, it really changed my life.
This kind of art is so familiar to me. I don't know but this has a strong connection to me.
Its polly nor!! You’ve probably seen their work before
kenchuvich Morcozo same vibes
Children books.
Reminds me of those Mike, Lu and Ogg cartoons IDK why
thanks youtube...you know what I like c:
This is seriously one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time.
i found this music and video clip at such a weird state of my life, I was new to a country I moved in, was too innocent but still open to confront these all new problems, live through them, feel to the core every feeling, and this song made so much somehow . Now , 5 years later, I listen to it, it doesn't hit me as much as in the beginning, but it is a reminder about that time. thank you!
This song is how 2016 felt like to me.
This has been stuck in my head for the whole day I’m so glad I found it again
youtube's recommendations are slowly getting better. so happy.
I agree with you. Просто великолепно ;-) я удивлен , что так шикарно делают !!!
А теперь , что бы ты могла понять откуда я : сука ! блять !
did you mean to put that last bit after the : ?
because it seems like you didn't finish your sentence.
I remember seeing this video for the first time when I was 7. I absolutely loved it. Everything about it is so amazing. The style, the music and the meaning. Truly one of my favorite songs.
Idk what I was expecting but the song and video is awesome
when i was younger i was very self conscious about my body, i was always disgusted by my figure and the way everything looked on me. one night i met this girl who looked amazing, her style was very unique & everything she wore looked so good on her, she introduced me to this song one evening, i learned to love myself, and then i fell in love with her too. shes now been my best friend for over three years and some nights i cant help but cry myself to sleep listening to this because it reminds me that i may never be able to hold her the way I’ve always dreamed to.
:'((((
Just tell her ! She might feel the same
go and fucking tell her
the only shots you 100% miss are the ones you dont take... Tell her man, i know you are scared that she will be weirded out and/or your friendship will suffer but i guarantee you that it wont, it takes massive massive strength to tell somebody something like that but you can do it 100%!!!
@@cubed5728 right ?! I asked my friend of 15 years to go on a date with me and now we’re seeing each other and I haven’t been happier. I hope things work out 🥰
THIS IS SO DAMN GOOD.
I found this song in one of my darkest years.. I still come back to it, this song has always resonated with my soul.
Sooooooo glad I clicked play! Must re-watch when I'm high!
Being really depressed this is the only song that makes me burst into tears.
Great music! Thanks suggestions.
from the first moment I heard this song and saw such a beautifully created clip I have totally fell in love. every girl knows these strange feelings.. doesn't recognise herself, hates herself, wants to hide from the whole world… I can remember like it was yesterday.
I'm reeeealy happy that this chapter is all over me, but still… this song remainds me of some special kind of purity, that was in these times inside me. in times when my closest friends were in the woods and I was able to spend eternity there all alone. just me, enormous tall trees, wild water and animals that walked around and didn't notice me 'cause I was part of them. oh… lovely lovely, lovely memories! :'))
I spent 30 minutes relentlessly scouring the internet for this video until I finally found it, and it's amazing.
This cartoon perfectly shows how a real person looks.
It's important to remember that whether you're thin, fat, average, tall, short, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you are being a good person. Heck, sometimes, you might be a bad person, and that's okay too. We're humans, we're flawed. Mistakes will happen. As long as you keep living, and building on yourself, you are doing all you need to.
i wish people could cut each other (and themselves) some slack for once. no one is gonna be what’s considered to be a “good” “nice” or “cool” person 24 fucking 7. because we experience PLENTY of other emotions besides happiness. and people will choose to perceive you however they want to, whether it’s positive or negative. people could say you’re selfish just because you’re taking more time for yourself instead of helping them 24/7. life isn’t about pleasing everyone around you. you’re not here to be the “perfect person”. it’s such fucking bullshit and i wanna slap everyone who still thinks this way. IT’S SUCH FUCKING RAT RACE SOCIETY BULLSHIT
@@ruesylvester rad bro but wats with all the anger inside you.
@@garebeast373 what's with all the anger inside me? why wouldn't I be angry about bullshit societal standards? also, this comment had struck a chord with me, because I recently came to the conclusion that I won't always be a good person, and I was gonna stop pretending I was. I've always been pretending that I have nothing but good intentions, and most of the time I do. but sometimes I just don't give a shit, and that's fine, because no one is perfect anyways, so why should it matter if I'm perceived as "perfect" or not? no one has to like me if they don't want to. trying to get everyone to like you is stupid anyways. I'm not here to make everyone like me, I'm here to be myself
@@ruesylvester true but why all the anger just simply state your an asshole sometimes.
words dont matter either, it's all artificial petty matters so you do not look at the void.
This... is so much better than I expected!
esse clipe tem uma mensagem muito profunda, a gente se contamina com o mundo, com a maldade, mas é na perdição que nos encontramos, pra sabermos quem realmente somos, após termos essa consciência, não precisamos mais do que precisávamos antes, é simplesmente o caminho que percorremos que nos leva a nós mesmos. Ser quem somos, com nossos aprendizados pelo caminho que passamos.

That’s beautiful
Kinda funny because "chelou" in french means "weird" and that's absolutely right (even though that's great)
Charlotte Jergeay not in French lol, in verlan.
Tu es sûr?
José Angel Je ne connais pas le français.
José Angel lol
@@ALittleBitAboutALotChannel well verlan is just french backward
I just discovered this and I love it. This is exactly what i need in my life right now.
If you read this, I hope you are safe. Hope is lofty, but the sky is real.
RUclips has recommended me so much inspiration lately, it’s unreal.
Thanks RUclips for suggesting this
their name "chelou" means "weird/strange" in french lmfao, it fits them so well
No way!! I usted to jam this song endlessly back in 2017-2018. Good memories
Love this Polly Nor art! Great song!
It’s 5 am. I’ve been tripping since 9:30 last night. I’ve watched this repeatedly. FUCK. I love it. FUCK. NO words dude. I felt it and I feel it still
That's lots of words
There’s not many things better than a good trip. Diving deep into some meaningful thoughts and questions while watching visually intriguing music videos. Learning more about yourself and the things around you, and what makes you, TRULY YOU.
This reminds me of my trip. Way too much ...
This is one of my trip songs too lol
this what happens when u open ur third eye
we need more of these beautiful videos
that's true!
I just realised there's so much symbolism in this video! Basically depicting a spiritual awakening ❤️
@hippie Bug what devil?
My boyfriend just opened my third eye wide open
Oh ma gawd. This is trippy and I’m not even trippin
Billie Eilish: my visuals on my youtube videos are weird
Chelou: hold my drink
Omg!! I see you in every youtube video
Hold my acid
there should be glass animals too
@@kill_me_keno9684 😂😂😂
Oh, this must be the same artist who does those really weird devil art that keeps popping on my Instagram. Weird, but cool.

This is amazing, finally youtube's recommendations are good.
AMAZING , so creative and unique . Gorgeous
