    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 💔

    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

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.

    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.

  • @MT-hn7oj
    @MT-hn7oj 2 года назад +21

    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 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!

    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.

      curtis moncoq no it can't, verlan is just the fact of changing syllables for poetry, street poetry. the meaning stays the same. louche is the cooking instrument stuff but its also used to say weird as an expression, nothing to do with verlan :)

      Dude you're tryna learn verlan to a french guy...
      Verlan is used very often by young people (and I am).
      It doesn't necessarily change the meaning but if you say chelou to a french person to mean the cooking instrument nobody is gonna understand
      because chelou is basically almost a new word on his own that means weird but the real word is bizarre
      However if you say "il est louche" to a french person he will understand "he's suspicious"
