Gotta come back every couple of years to watch this masterpiece !!
SAME
I come back and watch this often. It moves me in a way few things do. Thank you. 💜
Me too
Love this! I so relate to what you said...I find myself coming back to listen to this song very often. This video/song/ the dancing just gives me chills & I instantly cried the 1st time I herd this beautiful song & sometimes I still do. Idk this song just resonates with me 💜
I come back every now and then too. Volume Up. Full Screen and disappear.
As do I
Love the move from 1:50 to 1:57. The amount of fluidity that you two can achieve astounds me. Wonderful job.
Yeesss!! That part was so smooth & amazing!!
Guys. Everything about this is pure beauty. Pure, raw emotion. I've been struggling with severe emotional issues, including ptsd. My treatment has only began, but this. This was so beautiful and emotional. I couldn't help but cry and watch it on repeat. This is also the story of mental health issues in relationships. Trust me. So amazing. I can't sing your praises enough on this one. Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world.
I just can't stop watching it. The facial expressions, the fluidity of movements... Indescriptibly deep and beautifully danced.
The combination of the song, lyrics, the movement and the emotions these two people bring to life is just....
I can´t find the perfect words for this.. It is the best I have seen in a long time!
I don't know how to dance myself, i grew up in a family where art is left on second place and knowledge or whatever is what's important, but every day i regret that. i spend hours and hours watching dancing videos, dancing films, everything, dance is a beautiful and powerful way to express feelings. This video was magnificent from beginning to end kudos to the dancers, producers, photographer, everyone, this was amazing.
Tellement beau tous les deux... tu es magnifique Tamara je ne suis pas fan que de ta voix, tu dégages beaucoup de choses dans ta façon de danser j'adooooooore!!!!
this gives me chills. so beautiful, so haunting.. i can't even put it in words how amazing this is..
Excellent work! perfect coreography, perfect photography !!! Perfect all!!!
Votre danse est pleines d'émotions, de connexions et de fragilité, j'en ai eu mes larmes aux yeux.. L'artistique était au rendez-vous et vous nous avez partagé un moment incroyable, merci.
Wouhaou!
La danse permet de transmettre tant d'émotions.
C'est MAGNIFIQUE! Félicitation ;)
this is art in it's pure form.
OMG! That jump was stunning!!!!
This is the most beautifullest dancing ever! The emotion made me believe it was real and I almost cried I hope I can dance like that some day!
magnifique superbe une beauté a couper le souffle ! elle dance comme personnes bravo !
époustouflant!j'ai adoré ils degagent tellement tout les 2
Dance is my medicine, this video males me cry so much. I love the art the, the purpose, the movement, the feeling, the story.👏❤
Every single time when I listen to this song I think of this dance... And It is so beautiful and inspiring!! ❤️💋
i have seen the video a few times and tears come into my eyes everytime i see it i feel it moves something directly from my soul is amasing

Sometimes you don't need words.

PHENOMENAL VOUS ETES EXCELLENTS 🙌🏽
je suis sans mot,c'est juste magnifique😍 merci pour tout shy'm✌🏼️❤️
OMG... I'm speechless just Beautiful.
That was beautiful.
This is really beautiful
This is beautiful
from 3 to 3:21 it just feels like the guy is going "what are you doing here? you're not supposed to be here, what did you do?" because she fell right into the same hole he did.
Beautiful!
I love y’all so much
This makes me so sad... But wonderful, no doubts!
Hey there! Ever heard of a song called The Way by Mr. Gnome? It's an amazing song and seeing someone dance to that song the way you dance would be incredible. (: Love your work!
So emotional 😍
This is so good
So perfectly beautiful
De toute beauté
très beau et touchant.
they love they suffer they dance. not separate but together as one
it seems like this video is not available in Canada, it's so sad
thank you so much i'm really in love😔❤
Me and my dance partner have been trying to decide what the story plot line is for this piece. Is he in rehab and she is the one dark person who tries to bring him back into the addiction to possibly drugs or alcohol? Or is it the other way around? Then when she finally changes into white, is that her accepting the fact that she needs to change for the greater good? But this dance is absolutely beautiful and amazing and literally off the charts, blow your mind amazing.
No the man in white is addicted originally and then Tamara (the girl) is trying to cope with his addiction in which she ends up being pulled into the addiction to drugs and becomes worst and i believe starts to die.
I come back cuz it has super big meaning to me but it still makes me somewhat laugh when that big jump happens, idk if it was on purpose but she was missing that landing 100%
Beautiful
just..wow.
Thank you
gorgeous
Can you please make more of these?!?
magique
that was deep. AF
Have alot to say been through alot won't shire bit this is how and when I feel
Throughout all the video I was just like «damn this girl looks like shy'm and I thinks she was a dancer before, right...but it's a eng video it can't be her.» And then at the end «Tamara Marthe.» ahah I knew it! Any french people here?
so true...
demasiado bueno le doy un 10
super clip😃
WOW VERY STRONG !
0:46 His leg is higher than my grades....
ommmgggggg
Her body is so beautiful
Could someone please tell me the name of that kind of dance?
I really love this style of dance and how it just captivates all of my attention ❤ What is the style called..?
it's called contemporary or interpretive dance:)
Alguém pode mim enformar o nome da música que toca no vídeo?
Did anyone else cry?
Nice video
Wow
THIS SONG IS SO SAD I ALWAYS CRY
I thought the guy is a drug addict. The female character was in love with him and tried to pull him back from it. In the end, she was so frustrated and she decided to use drug herself. Then he lost her and mourned in pain.
Siyao Zhang I agree!! My students and I watched this to pull it apart. This choreo and the story is amazing!!!!!
We went crazy when we saw the girl in the white shirt! Lol. It really is amazing
I took it like he was suffering some kind of mental disorder, and she was by his side through the whole struggle of it, and in the end, it consumed her and made her crazy. Not saying I'm right lol, it's just as I see it as someone who has gone through something like that. Beautiful tho, whatever the message. ❤️
I thought it was about autism
Ahh I wrote so much. It erased..
Beautiful
This is the deepest, most beautiful dance I've ever seen.
I thought she was going to fall on her face
Raelyn Walsh Same
Everyone keeps talking about the girl, but do you see this guy! He's lines are beautiful! That leg extension at the beginning I paused it and just stared in awe! Every movement he made was just breathtaking for me. I am reinspired to dance from watching him. The whole this was beautiful and I've watched it over and over. The lifts! I could go on and on. This was well done and a provoking story.
no but, the way he moves. in most dances between a guy and a girl, the guy just usually stands there having to lift the girl, but when he danced, that was when the real show was. I'm getting kinda sick of dancers just using tricks and lifts in their dances, I want to see dancing. and this was well choreographed and the guy moved so well and so fitting to the theme.
Because I am a Lady They talk about the girl because she is Shy'm a French singer.
The Silicone Cat Her name is Tamara Marthe
Because I am a Lady
I´m totally agree with you! The both do a amazing dance here. Without the guy there would not be a dance t´who fit with this lovely, sad song!
Because I am a Lady both were good
I've never seen anything more beautiful dance wise. This is a true masterpiece.
+thestaceofspade nhot fik zeby
+Firas Soudeni nyeeee
I love cried so much. U could really feel a deep meaning into the song that this dance gave it. that's why I love to dance.
I think that this is one of those rare times in life where you get to witness something so incredible that words can't even form in your brain because of this incredible event that has unfolded before your eyes. I don't think I will ever look at dance the same way because this was incredible. I look at this and I see not dance but art. Real, incredible, moving, feeling, art. The technique was right up there with the emotional content of the dancers. I am so moved and I always find something to critique and I must admit every flaw is what made it that much more powerful. This was raw, real, grounded, and deeply emotional thank you so much for sharing this with the world.
i wish i could meet the people who danced and created this. if only they knew how much it spoke to me. not only did i used to dance, which i miss so much, but there is so much addiction in my family its unreal. myself, a recovering addict. i just.... i watch it almost everyday. thank you. ❤
I wish u all the best for the future ❤
❤❤
Thank you for your comment, it really means as much to us. ❤️
Zack
PS keep up the good work

Was anybody else in freaking tears ? 😨😨😭😭😭😭this had so much depth it was beautiful 😭😭😭 2:50 to the end I feel like it was showing that she loved this person so much that she would do anything to help him so she dove in without fear and was consumed by the same things he was going through 🙁🙁and at 3:27 did u notice how both of them looked like they were trying to portray hanging themselves the swaying motion and limp neck? It really is an amazing dance 😭. It was like after she was in it wholey with him they were suffering together going through the same motions in their minds and what she thought he didn't need "the medicine" she needs it now to and they're falling apart together . idk I just really like this
Autumn Taylor i cried
I felt the same...in tears
I suggest you to watch the official clip, the girl is a french singer : shy'm and the song : si tu m'aime encore
when I watched this dance I took it the same way..... after she leaped into him and got sucked into his darkness I cried....
autumntayyy nop
This is art. It shows the real struggle of what drugs can do to someone and how it affects their partner. So beautiful. Amazing choreography. In love.
Shanya Senneh that's kinda funny actually because I picture it that the girl IS the drugs like personified...
This is my interpretation of the dance:
The female dancer is the drug addiction. Notice how she starts on the ground and twitching. And the male dancer, succumbing to addiction, finds himself in the desolate building seeking out his addiction.
She sees him and walks up to him, the guy obviously still wary. She thens sinks straight into him with her head, inviting him to pick her up. She then drops to the ground and pulls him in. He looms over her and with 1 leg straight and high, representing him taking her in and getting "high", and then they roll around the ground getting intoxicated. Standing up representing the completion of the intake, and he falls into her control. Notice her expression being aggressive as she manipulates him and covers his mouth, then she climbs on top of him, showing that she's in control. After the series of lifts, she walks away and smears her hand over his face, once again showing control, then holds him from behind showing her holding him back and clinging on to him, her fingers reaching foward and closing representing the drug fumes, and she claws his forearm, and a little special effects of the veins turning black from her corruption. He breaks free from her to do impressive moves but she holds him and puts him to the ground again. He stands up but she clings on to him again from behind and on top. And sinks her body down on him forcing him to hold on to her, once again with aggressive expressions.
When she leaps on him and wears white is where i'm not too sure what it means. My best bet is that by fully embracing the drug (catching her) he's brought back to the past memory. The role of the female dancer with the white shirt is switched to girlfriend. He and his girlfriend were both hopeless addicts where she died of overdose.
This spoke volume.
Thats amazing, maybe she wore white too to show that the drugs and him became one and it is now a part of him
PageNeo and at the end he tried to lift her up again but it doesn’t work representing he doesn’t get high the same as it did in the first place and the drug isn’t having the same effect. And that leads to him feeling suicidal (rope bit) and crying at the end and frantically trying to hold onto what he got from the drug at the end
PageNeo I never thought about it like this, it makes complete sense which makes it even more beautiful and heartbreaking
White.. surrender? Addiction surrender.. he surrenders with ADDICTION.. not giving up tried that. But surrenders looks this is me.. addiction. I'm supposed to die to drugs.. this is the last of the states I've witnessed myself..
I am so in love with this video.
stunning, moving and full of emotions
She looks a lot like Halle berry
it's a french singer called Shy'm
I'm french and i reconniz her in the end !
5 years on and I still come back to this piece. It resonates with me even more today, here & now. It depicts the emotions experienced “dancing with the devil” of Cancer with my partner for the last year. And the medicine.... thank you for such a moving piece.
my attention was carried away by the movements of the boy's legs. so much grace.
This dance always reminds me of my first relationship, it was exactly like this. Our love was so powerful, but we would destroyed a small part of it … little by little every time we touched … a small piece would break off … year after year .. becoming just a memory of the love we once had.
I'm almost 77 years old and my eyes welled up with tears. Passion, both beautiful and frightening. Truly a. wonder to see this energy, love and passion in us as human beings. We try to hide these feelings so close to your chests. Thank you.
She is probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen wow.
French singer Her name is shym
Yep, I am jealous 😀
My interpretation: A story about a toxic relationship. The man in this video is someone who is taking advantage of her. She tries to fight it, bring him to reality and change him. However, he continues to infect her w the same levels of toxicity (he has). She stops fighting and stays instead of leaving him, and together they both suffer. In the end, the relationship takes over too much control and she loses everything she was.
currently battling an addiction with perscription pills i only started taking because of extreme back pain and now its taken a hold of my life. every day, every minute, every second is about the pill. Im not even necessarily getting high but feeling no pain is the goal and now feeling no withdrawals either. My partner has stood by my side as i battle this and will not give up & im forever grateful. Although sometimes i wish he would so he wouldn't be under so much stress, getting nightmares, lying to his and my family, our friends, taking me back and forth to dr appointments constantly and coming over when im to sick to leave my bed & hold me while i shake & cry from the agonizing & debiltating pain. I can honestly say i just might be dead if it werent for him. i love him so much i can't stand to see this pain i put him through
You can get through this 💙💙💙
i wood love be friend and help YOU with your problem cuz i love helping
people with there problems once i will never leave you
How are you now?
Have you won the fight yet?
im not perfect but in a much much better place :)
J'ai passé tout le clip à me demander si c'était bien shy'm...
Très belle danse, pleine d'émotions!
C'est bien shy'm ;)
+Fanfantasyland il ne me semble pas que ce soit elle
+Fanfantasyland c'est d'ailleurs marqué a la fin c'est Tamara Marthe
codigel Justement, Tamara Marthe, c'est le vrai nom de Shy'm ;)
Idrilette Haha, oui, j'ai carrément été vérifier après sur le net que c'était bel et bien elle!!! Mais merci de me le reconfirmer :)
+Fanfantasyland autant pour moi :) oui c'est bien ca
My interpretation of this is that he was so busy focusing on his problems, going through his own struggles, that he didn't notice that she was struggling with her own problems as well. Idk. Just what I got out of it.
Autumn Rae I think you might enjoy my newest dance concept video! Check it out
Autumn Rae the drugs became who he was. it started off the drug was it's own individual evil, it was his choice but at the end the drugs became his entire identity. I think the matching outfits at the end were like signifying that he had lost himself in his addiction.
that's how I interpreted it at least :)
Huh! That's a very interesting interpretation :) I love how everybody has their own idea of what this represents. That makes it a true piece of art.
I thought that too. but I also thought that their matching outfits at the end was him like slowly dragging her down the hole he was in , leading her to drug addiction as well and when they collapsed it was like they finally realised what had happened and where things had finally lead to
The girls big jump looked a little far away if you looked closer
But just if you look closer, a lot closer.
Omg yeah I thought she was gonna fall
Tara Gokcek it's supposed to bc shes jumping into helping the person she loves fearlessly but won't make it instead she becomes tangled up in the addiction with him. Or maybe not even the addiction maybe just the struggle it depends kn what the white t-shirt means to you.
Absolument merveilleux, la danse peut véhiculer tellement d'émotion...
The fact that medicine was misspelled at the beginning of the video just kills me but I adore the dance
We spelled it the French way not thinking it would go any farther... The English spelling is on Vimeo, our mistake 😐
Oh, I didn't know that's how you spell it int french! Thought it was a typo, sorry. Love your work though (:
+Zack Benitez I actually never thought it was a typo.
I knew the song and knew she was kinda singing it like 'medecine' so I thought it was a cool and cute reference to this ;)
Serena Flores same here 😂
proud of our french girl♥
Being in recovery from addiction after being hit, ran over and dragged 15ft by a City Bus this…THIS IS…my reality. You see I was in recovery from Meth, 18 months to the day, and I was a dancer. Just started teaching kids hip hop. That night changed my life forever! Already being an addict in recovery saved my life that night as I lost 80% of my blood from that accident. Yet, I became addicted to pain medication. It was my life after that day! I now have 10 pins and 1 plate in my hips holding it all together. I got off the pain medication in 2015!
This is how it was for me on meds everyday! Having to choose between quality of life. I’m grateful today I don’t have to live this way anymore! ❤❤❤❤
my heart cried while watching this ... art and expression in its purest form
Absolutely amazing! The woman is beyond perfect: her looks, her dancing, her expression, her everything.
But the dude... people, let's not forget him here! He's so damn good! I can look at him doing this piece for hours.
