Nothing hurts more than not being able to forget someone who's already forgotten about you.
:(
yeah.
Couldn’t have been said better
yeah it sucks
Sometimes they just die...I think it hurt more then. Before I always thought I'd have time to make it right
I can’t imagine the work that went into this video. I know some people (not close friends) who live a similar destructive lifestyle, and this looks like you took a camera and filmed their lives for months. Everything about this feels so authentic, and is so brilliantly juxtaposed with the soft heartache of the song. I love Joji, man
What's up checkmark
Crazy part is there are behind scenes of these out. Abd it's crazy but fortunate these people are not in this for real
@@shifuku4974 why are you the way that you are
one of them was just a stranger at a concert....
The ancient fossil of good storytelling has come to life once again thanks to this legend.
You can never find the same person twice. Not even in the same person....
damn
Deep
Only a glimpse of who they were is all that you can find
joji will never be pink guy again
THIS 🙌🏻 😢
"Perfect don't mean that it's working" those lines hit hard
I think the protagonist in the video's story is the guy in yellow.
He misses his girl and in order to escape his feelings, he partakes in this horrible, vile, chaotic lifestyle as a way to move on, but he can't, he misses her and if you pay attention to the end of the video, you can see him not actively participating in a lot of the bullshit that's going on, he's just sitting back, on the ground, looking depressed, searching up online what women want in a man.
It's about wanting to escape from the past and ending up in a horrible, horrible place, trying to remember how it was back then (ie trying to get a glimpse of us).
And I mean... the whole video is haunting, it feels like being part of the most horrible and depraved gang that's ever existed. It feels like falling off the deep end after a traumatic event.

My wife passed away 6 years ago after giving birth to our daughter. Every night, I read to her while she stares deeply into my eyes and listens intensely. I know that it probably isn't common to relate this song to a father-daughter relationship, but this song makes me miss my wife so much more. It also makes me love and cherish my daughter so, so much. I know that she won't be like this forever, and daddy won't always be her favorite person, and she will eventually get older -- but right now I'm happy, just spending time, passing it by in her arms.
i see no problem you relate this song to a father-daughter relationship. if it hits you, it hits you and that's the beauty of it. i wish you a joyful lifetime with your daughter. you guys are lucky to have each other ❤
I’m wishing the best for you and your beautiful daughter♥️✨
i’m crying. not exaggerating.
That’s beautiful
Be strong

This video fucks me up so much. I remember being 15, 16. A kid. And we were all shooting up and snorting coke and being destructive. For a little while I thought we were having fun, but I quickly learned we were all endlessly miserable. Rest in peace Ikaika, Mel, Jake, Karen, Colin, Mo, Cash, JP, Oliver.
All of then your friends?
❤️🔥
@Brandon_Low yup. Since 2018 my friends have been dropping off
You sound like a legend. RIP
@imnotarobot8320 no sir, I deserve no legendary status. We were all just sick and sad kids. The only difference is that I survived fentanyl.
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
I feel like This song represents something more than just going through heartbreak. It’s depression, loneliness, loss of self control, insecurities, anger, rage. It shows the pain and struggles of being a human in this world. The insanity that goes on. Especially during these dark times. In Joji’s voice I get this vibe that he’s telling us that no matter what happens. No matter how much pain we feel. Everything is going to be ok in the end. It may not seem that way now but it will.
Especially when the guy was hitting his head, it reminded me of what i would do in depression. I am so happy he released this I am crying
and closing ears with ur hands
homie became an english teacher
you forgot regrets and madness.
its beautiful interpretation my guy, thank u
the worst feeling isn't being alone or being mad or angry, its being forgotten by someone you could never forget.
Damn
You need to go deeper. If you can't il explain
goofy ah
That's DEEEEEP.........
I’d rather her be upset, angry, annoyed, with me, then her forgetting me all together…
yesterday i was reminiscing about the way my wife used to smile when i would look at her eyes, but now, 16 years later, when i look in her eyes, i only see a glimpse of what we had😭.
The pink guy's change from joker to quiet person is like representing himself. Thank you for creating songs like this. It's like representing me
Yeah I know ,this song i think just like real

Hi maaz
Most unique take of sad love song. On repeat since it came out 🖤
Literally
oh really? NF - TIME
@@verttissavibe HHAHAHA
@@verttissavibe no
it's more like a twisted love song than a sad one. imagine dating someone so perfect yet u're still hung up with ur ex
One day, I became depressed and tried to drown out all my mental pain through alcohol, until my friends and parents realized what was wrong with me. They realized what was going on when I snapped and started screaming and crying without any reason. Therapy and medication didn't really help me, but then I met my girlfriend who I'd been dating for two years. She helped me through every attack of depression. I'm writing this because the footage in the video shows what I had to deal with for a long time. We try to numb our inner pain by going out, by having an antisocial lifestyle. But as soon as we get home and look at our room, it only makes things worse. And to all those people who are struggling with depression or other problems in their lives, we know how you feel. We understand you and we don't condemn you, we support you. Warm greetings from Russia.

То же сейчас. Я не могу позволить себе ходить по шлюхам, барам и ссать в подъездах, поэтому просто сплю, чтобы дни проходили быстрее и я как можно меньше находился в сознании. Мне просто не хочется мыслить, но это такой же автоматический процесс как дыхание. Я страшно устал
Спасибо за ваши слова, надеюсь, у вас всё хорошо
❤❤❤
@@user-bi1tz5nr3i Да, сейчас у меня появилась тяга к учебе и я скоро защищу диплом и устроюсь на хорошую работу. Спасибо вам.
i listen to this song for the first time while watching the video. i decided to read comments to see what others feel, whether i can support them with good advice but they made everything that makes me sad and broken come back... im trying to get straight, im trying to forget about her but its so hard. i ran away from a woman who was a perfect match for me, her character was perfect, we got along on every issue, we wrote day and night about everything, when we saw the message notification our smile didnt disappear for a moment, we were very close to each other, unfortunately we were from different homes - she had money, a big family, a big house, she had what she wanted, she was developing, she had a goal in life, she was mature but i was the opposite - i had little money, i had no goal in life, i was lost, i felt that i was a crutch for her at the leg that blocks her in life. one day she went on holiday with her friends, of course it cost a lot heh... she was overjoyed, excited and guess how i felt. i decided to leave her alone, i wished her to have a great time with them, when she wrote why i wasnt talking to her during her holidays, i was already gone, i saw the message but i stopped writing. its been over a year now that we have no contact. i recently found out that she has a boyfriend, which devastated me. i started remembering everything, i realized that i loved her so much but never said or showed that and in my opinion she was a person who was created for me, and i will never meet the same person in my life. i cried. its all my fault. i want to start my life anew, i want to love myself first, i want to fix what i should fix in myself. maybe one day i will write her a letter with explanations, maybe i will find and reveal the truth, but i cant stop thinking about all of this. its so difficult. right now im listening to sad music and tears are falling, i have a moment of weakness, i feel so lonely but maybe thats what i need. if anyone read this, thank you very much, it makes me feel better. maybe its a shame that a man writes such things from the heart, but after seeing this comment i was so tempted to do it. maybe one day it will be good... i wish you all the best guys. dont be afraid to talk about your feelings - i just understood it too late and paid a high price 😔
So beautiful to see someone share and open up like this. If she had to see what you wrote here (if it was me at least) it could still change the situation... Thanks for sharing.
Ahí fallaste tu brother, si la amabas tanto debiste luchar para ser alguien mejor para ella, pero la vida sigue y esto debe ser un aprendizaje para ti, te recomiendo seguir tu camino y no interrumpir en su vida, si volvieran a estar juntos romperian el corazón de otro hombre.
This song reminds me of my personal favourite quote:
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.”
― Cesar A. Cruz
that is immensely profound
Damn that so deep
The video
This reminds me of a guy who was from austrian and born in 1889

i thing this was also following a dude that was falling into deprission
3:17 that part when he say "let's go, what are you doing?" And he is down on the street, makes me feel sad
The video feels so real and genuine that the intrinsic sadness is palpable to the point of making you feel for the persons depicted in it. Well, it moved me.
There's just something about this song that reminds me of so many bad and good memories. Good to be feeling these feelings from Joji again :)
@Elytra _ Dizasta.

There's something disturbing about how authentic this all looks. Like these people are living a hell they've created and can't break from. The worst case scenario come true.

This is real life bro
Jesus loves you ❤
This video perfectly depicts my ex’s life. From someone who comes from a healthy and stable background watching him fall back into a self destructive life of drugs, crime and broken family was heartbreaking.
I also learned that an addict needs professional help especially when everyone around them keeps tempting them back into their demons.
This video reminds me of how despite the crime and drugs he was such a sweet soul who loved animals and Ghibli movies. I know he tried to hold on to that through me and I still feel guilty that I had to leave him. It’s not easy when you see someone sweet have such a dark side and feel like you are the only thing keeping them from breaking.
I hope he found a way to happiness now.
I Hope you and him have found happiness too 💕
I'm really really sorry , and remember you've done nothing wrong
You protected yourself. This is the best solution❤
It’s been 2 years and I’m still bed ridden about her
I can relate to your comment so much but I was on the other side. I am self destructive and was an addict to be able to deal with things. He left me to protect himself and because he could not watch me destroy myself any longer. It's been over a year and it still breaks my heart but I can understand why he did it. It was for the best just like how it was for you. Don't feel guilty, you need to look after yourself. For me him leaving me was a wake up call, I hope your ex can also see it the same way.
That shot of "HELP" painted on the entrance ramp was held just long enough. Hits hard man.
I did not wake up today thinking I'd be listening to a new joji song dayum
The fish man has spoken
Damn you too?
We've been blessed
i know roghttt😫
Do you not follow him on Insta or anything?
Man this video fucked me up. Currently 79 days sober, but my life was chaotic like this when my drinking got really bad. The song and visuals have me in tears right now. Glad to be sober, but this brought me back to some memories of being in a dark place. Staying in my friends backyard in a shed with beer cans and trash on the floor, doing stupid shit just to feel something, the arguments, fights, the chaos. It was all something I thought I thrived in. Today is completely different. Thank you Joji.
proud of you man
Congrats on getting pass that stage, staystrong man, I wish you the best
Love ya buddy. 🤍🤍🤍
You're doing amazing! Stay strong brother! :)
ты большой молодец!
This video beautifully illustrates the lengths people will go to just to feel, and it breaks my heart every time

It hurt me alot when I said I didn't want her anymore, because deep in my heart I wanted her, I needed her. She was my everything..
Art comforts the Disturbed and disturbs the comfortable
this is exactly what heartbreak looks like, you stop caring about everything, become self destructive just to forget everything even though you can't. this video hits home hard especially the lyrics. beautifully done
I think your life must go on even after a bad heartbreak. There is no excuse to just don’t care anymore, your life is unique and you shall not just waste it for some love deception. Remember, the only things that matter the most is your life, nothing else, so cherrish it
The video can also be interpreted from the point of view that even a chaotic and destructive guy needs his opposite side to maintain emotional balance, and without that our minds get out of control.
He still cares about his friend tho

This goes out to the love of my life V... It's been four years, and even after getting over you a part of me does the lyrics to this song... Just hoping and praying to find even a glimpse of the love I felt for you in someone else because I can never have you again so I had to get over you and move on. This song truly touches my soul, and I get it... We all sometimes have to let love go get over someone and look for the next love in our lives. The "glimpse of us" isn't exactly meant to be glimpse of that former person more so glimpse of what you "had" serious relationship wise that is your NEXT serious love. But the retro of this is yeah sometimes even if we're over someone... we do miss them and what we had and that's okay and healthy to remember the good times... and miss them and wish things worked out. I know there's days where something reminds me of V and I do.
Dude… it’s such a struggle to get over somebody who we hoped would stick around until the end of our lives. I know it feels like the end of the world. Trust me, it’s the same feeling we all experience during a tragic break-up. It seems like an easy way out to give up. But trust me, it gets easier as time goes on. Life always gives us these curveballs, and tests our strength.
My father ended his life during a hardship he faced when I was 18, leaving me and my momma alone to deal with these struggles. ( I got into stronger drugs to cope with the emptiness of losing my role model / best friend which I shared everything going on in my life with
..But no matter how much I despise his cowardly choice, it made me a stronger person at the end of the day.
Keep ur head up brother
even lord frieza goin thru it. dw king, u will find ur queen
I'm still hurting, she wasted 10 years just because she can't be as loyal as me, so much wasted time, so much loss, too much...now I'm just a man filled with mostly anger and hate, so bitter, sigh. I'm so tired of these feelings.
It's like the music is an inner dialogue to the video. Trying to cover up the hurt by acting out, running away from issues inside... there are few things as visceral and honest as this work of art
Truly a work of art. The video and music independently leave an impression but together it’s so very powerful! I’m so impressed even through the heart ache 😭
Yeah, that's true
@@heatherhigh7363 I agree!
Jus like me fr
i feel this heavily.
This really hits close to home, I lived like this after my girlfriend passed away. I was destructive I was an addict and headed headed to either prison or the graveyard. I can finally say I’m 30 days sober and staying out of trouble. Also Joji is amazing and so is this song.
I'm so proud of you man, keep going and living your story. 💚
We're proud of you, brother. I believe in you.
30 days sober? Dude that’s amazing!! There are many beautiful things in store for you, both now and in the future. I’m wishing you the best.
Prayers
30 days sober- that awesome man. Keep going, you’re doing amazing!
Sadly, this reminds me of my teenage years. Some of this was shot in my home city of Los Angeles. People only think of the glitz and glam of Hollywood and Beverly Hills but never think of the people who live in south central, inglewood, hawthorne, east la, etc. I lived my life fully preparing to die by the time I was 18. Putting myself in danger every single day, mixing drugs with alcohol and just destroying myself. I’m happy to say that I am now 24 years old and finally glad to be alive. This video brought tears to my eyes. A heartbreaking, yet beautiful piece, Joji.
This video just shows me that some things change but basically things stay the same. This was my life in 98-03 and I don't miss it. The chaos depleted and damaged me even though, at the time, I thought I thrived on it. A lot of friends were made during that period but in the end the ones that are still around were from before and after that destructive period. Oh well, live and learn. Good song.
Joji is the perfect example of "Same things make us laugh, make us cry"

Joji… you captured something many don’t get to see. The fall from a height, overwhelming despair, the need to burn everything in order to see something bright for a change. Masterfully done. A large chunk of my twenties looked like this and by whatever chance I had, I made it out. Thank you.
It's odd to think everyone craves another life style, I never struggled like this or had this lifestyle but I wish I did, I crave that chaotic energy, my whole life everything was so safe other than skating, but it's like I need to feel in danger every day to live happily
bro thats good on you bro
@@brendenfowler8654 when you start losing teeth and wake up to wounds you don’t remember happening… it’s not fun or cool anymore. It’s just instigating rot that you know you’re better than. Please, it ain’t worth it.
@@milojgreen I'll take your word for it
wonderful words. thank you for this.
I think this video shows how he deals with the void of having a relationship that goes wrong. Each person deals with grief and pain in different ways. Some people grieve in private. Others in a last minute trip to somewhere that’s peaceful. In this video, it’s chaos; the euphoria of doing what you want, but ultimately being broken on the inside. One day, the chaos will subside. Then the question becomes: ‘What now?’
ive watched this video maybe 20 times, and im just now realising that the further you get in the video, the more it shows their actions effecting themselves and others
"I think this song is the most heartbreaking when u dont interpret it as someone who hasnt moved on from a past relationship, but instead as "the person im with isnt the person i love anymore cause they have changed, but when i look in their eyes sometimes i still remember the person they used to be, whom i fell in love with. And I hope that one day they can come back to me." " - ZangBang
when you interpret the song this way, when he sings about wondering what it's like from the other person's perspective with their partner (which would be the singer) that could be read as the singer wondering if he himself changed too and I like that.
Reading what you said just open emotions I never knew I had…thank you
Thanks man you put on a whole new level of depression when I listen to this… 😂🙃
WOW
I love this 💛
This song is beautifully depressing and I cannot stop listening to it
me too
relatable, I'm literally obsessed with it, so angelic

frl
"beautifully depressing" yes i understand
I’m not one to write comments. However, This song came out a couple months after I was faced with the deepest heartbreak I’ve ever felt. I resonated with this song so deeply, and when the music video came out, I was genuinely upset because I felt it didn’t align with what the song meant (to me). I lived my life booking one way tickets, drinkin’ obscene amounts, doing drugs with strangers, and sleeping with people trying to find what was missing. A year later I’ve healed from that place, and I stumbled across this video again, and I realize I misunderstood. I’d eaten the menu. I went out, and was on a crash course of self destruction. I still get a glimpse of that from time to time. Looking back now, this song lives in my soul, and this video subconsciously laid the foundation for that. Thank you for your contribution to the world~ Can’t wait to tell you in person. It’s all love
You know this song really gave me this feeling you know? I personally havent went through this phase because i am still young, but this makes me feel like i havent been appreciating life enough because of the way other people have it. I love you Joji
Better you don’t go through it. Only fun when you’re hammered
Te amo jojiii

This portrays a story about a gathering of guys who suffer in a way that they can relate, they let the chaotic energy determine the actions they make to help cope with the emotional torment that overwhelms them. To forget and to move on

@@mazzyquinn626 are you being cringey on purpose?
I like listening to this version with background audio more than the Spotify version ❤️
This song hits so different after the pain of breakup
I think I prefer listening to the song with the background noise of the music video. I love the sound of chaos with his melancholic voice. Although it's a big contrast, it says a lot about these heightened emotions. In the midst of destruction and violence, whether that'd be internal or external, there's a quiet sadness in the centre of it. And all these sounds played together strengthens these two extremes. They are born from each other and die within each other. It's the highs of all this frustration and anger, and the lows of sadness and yearning. They blend together so well to the point where you can't really untangle them and pull them apart. They just learn to co-exist with one another somehow and that's how you get broken people who are hurting.
good rhetorical analysis
gawddamn
🥺👏
Ok, Jaden Smith.
yeh, i feel like with no background sound it's just kinda... empty. Like i think this is truly the way George wanted us to view the whole story, living chaotic with a purpose - a mean to cope or escape sth.
i am not someone who can really cry, but every part of my soul and my eyes ache. this video screams every horrible wrenching feeling i’m living right now. i lost my fiancée who was also a huge joji fan and who i used to dance with her to slow dancing in the dark when it came out what feels like lifetimes ago now. she died by suicide in 2020, and my life is so changed and broken forever.
this video sums up the emotions of the spiral that poverty and grief and abuse from others has kept me in the middle of ever since my beloved died.
i am homeless right now, but i am doing everything i can to get my shit together and live a life that my girl would be proud of me for.
I wish all the best for you, my friend. I hope you find happiness and fulfillment in your life whatever that may be.
and she is so proud of you, keep on pushing, she’s watching over you
You can do it. Don't back down.
wish you well brother
You're gonna make it brah,do it for her 💪

that hurt.....watching and listening hurt so much :'(
the selfdestructing after your heart is broken just to feel anything but that.....rly made my cry
I know the song is amazing but paired with this video, it’s absolutely perfect. For those who are saying the video is too loud or too opposite of the song, you’re missing the point. Depression is a fucked up thing. The outlet of how we choose to deal with it can sometimes be loud and chaotic but in the end, it’s just a front. Thanks Joji for this. This was incredible.
INCREDIBLE
Thank God someone else said it.
Really feel for them that this has went over their heads.
It's sad and it hurts to know that this is what my partner feels when she's going through something like this
Yeah, there are people like that. Why isn't he showing his face anymore tho? Why isn't anyone thinking of that? Why is this video so stupid also?
Maybe it's about how he used to be
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was livin' in the blue
Why then, if she's so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's workin'
So what can I do? (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're out of sight in my mind
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passin' time in her arms
Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
[Verse 2]
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slippin' slowly and find me again
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're out of sight in my mind
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passin' time in her arms
Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passin' time in her arms
Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
I think its "Cause sometimes I look in *her* eyes" which would make sense matching the rest of the chorus
He also says "And in * His * eyes, you’ll get a glimpse" so him getting a glimpse of them in the other girls eyes matches
Thanks

i love pink guy and joji
This song was amazing ngl
This version with random people talking, fireworks and a bunch of other stuff going on just hits different
How
@@splatoonsniper9830 the juxtaposition between beauty, sadness and chaos creates an experience that some people really needed to feel.
Frank core
Tells more of a story. People give it more substance.
I agree. This version hit me like a truck, I think to some extent everyone can relate to the video. Because it shows all the fun crazy stupid stuff they do but on the inside they aren't happy and they struggling with emotional things. When he sits there and hits himself in the head, or when his mates are standing by the burning car and he is off to one side stuck in his head.
Lyrics:
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was livin' in the blue (Yeah)
Why then, if she so perfect?
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's workin'
So what can I do? Ooh
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in your eyes
And that's where I find, a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passin' time in her arms
Hopin' I find, a glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slippin' slowly

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh-ooh

im here bud
I feel the yellow guy...a year later and I'm here coming back to this song seeing myself in his situation and missing the way things should be with her..finally working on myself and seeing what I was doing wrong and who I was...some things are so precious yk?
The worst feeling isn't being alone, its being forgotten by someone you could never forget.
hope you're okay bro. respond so we know you're good. you aren't alone and you can always talk
@@L1STERINE I'm fine. And I hope she is okay too
Why did this comment hit me right in the chest and my eyes swelled up with tears
its damn hard bro
we are in this together

This is probably the most realistic MV I've ever seen an artist make, it just feels so real and powerful that I couldn't help but feel lonely and helpless.
Jesus loves you!

the contrast in the visuals 🥲 anyways hi! I sang “Glimpse of Us”, check it out!
Maurice.find on youtube anrvit there is best electronic music
You should watch city morgues first videos those are insane
As someone who lives a quiet life where I mostly keep to myself, seeing this footage is insane. To think that people can just live like that day in and day out, clearly in a downward spiral, in so much pain. They must be dealing with some pretty powerful demons to have to drown them out with such a life. I mean, I deal with trauma and depression all the time, but this feels like it's on another level. I feel horrible for these people, and I wish we could do more to help people like this.
Went through a really bad break up 6 months ago (got cheated on) and this vid reminds me of me, just living careless and wild but i’ll be better she won’t destroy me

Thanks dude

Love you Man
This video reminds me a lot of Joji’s past identity on the internet, a lot of alcohol, physical pain, public shenanigans involving strangers, dangerous shenanigans with some involving cars, messy surroundings, filming them and then the masks, the masks stick out because back then, Joji and his group were all playing characters while the real people were hidden away and not seen by people. And also, in the last part, one of the guys acted a bit strange, almost like he was tired of everything, that reminded me of him, because at the end of that era, he said he began to experience problems that led to the decision to end the whole thing and move on to now with him focusing on music.
That’s about it, or at least that’s what I was thinking when I was watching the video, but this is just me, I could be completely wrong and whether that has anything to do with the song is something I need to analyze more.
this song really feels like an ode to the boys
Yep, I though thee same, this is going to fly above so many peoples head tho, believe it or not, not so many Joji fans are familiar with his origin on the internet.
exactly!
and still a lot of people want pinkguy and All of that back without noticing how much it hurt him...
i would still support that even ur wrong dude ;')
Bro I was thinking about the same thing. Sorry for bringing up filtyfrank to this but what we saw on the internet about him was actually the kind of life he had in this music video (without the police thing tho)
I have not much more to say. The main comment is worded perfectly according to the video.
Joji once again letting the beat drop like old people with polio
This video gave me goosebumps. That house is so similar to the ones I'd stay at when I was homeless, Some of my best and worst memories are in houses like that. The camera work is really good at showing the chaos of the lifestyle.
This is the moment we have been waiting for, all together, one night, vibing out to this beautiful masterpiece. We all feeling the same message but in a different way.
18 more hours until it comes out! Honestly maybe these songs will be about Joji healing? It would be interesting
my favorite youtuber likes joji songs . Greattt
hey homie! Love your videos. Keep up the good work man
yeah y’all will be vibing. i will be crying🤭
@@VLADMOTIVATES my favourite youtuber is Joji himself, even though he hasn't posted in a while
dont get me wrong, this is a beautifully written song. but if you relate to this whole song, please fully move on before you begin your next serious relationship. its not impossible i promise. in order to genuinely make room for new love in your heart you have to make space by getting rid of that person who currently sits there. otherwise you are wasting the others person time and energy:/ its unfair because the other person could be giving all their love yet they are underappreciated for something they cannot control
-
its normal to miss what you had. but different isnt bad, its just unfamiliar. to really appreciate that different is to accept what the past has gifted you with, and make genuine room to appreciate new happy experiences.
trust me, you guys will be okay. just keep pushing through and keep trying
Totally agreed and never use someone to forget your past.
Frrrr!
I'm currently in this situation. I feel like an asshole because she is always on my mind when I'm in a new relationship with other. Of course, I don't show my girl that I miss my ex and just like in this song even if she is 10 times better than her, I still miss her. My ex broke my heart real bad, and she still keeps breaking it but I can't stop thinking about her. I don't know how to let go...
@@anubis22 Youll find your peace soon. Itll take time. What you are doing might not be the best thing rn but who knows? Keep fighting
sometimes you are fully moved on but theres always gonna be a part of you that misses your ex depending on how strongly you felt for that person
It’s such a beautiful song. I recently learned the story of how it was written. The song writer was very close friends with Christina Grimme, and this song was originally meant as a song about her loss. They adapted the meaning slightly, but knowing what I know now, you can really feel that in the first verse. Make sure everyone you love knows you do, as no one knows when it’s their time. Treasure those dear to you.
本当に悲しい時に寄り添ってくれる、安らぎを与えてくれる、言葉では表現できないほど感情的にさせてくれる音楽と映像です😢
Love the contrast of these rough guys just having rabbits and deer, soft creatures, roaming trough their house all gently. Feels like a soft symbolism that these men too can have their feelings hurt.
Exactly! And the little shots of them just sitting with their head in their hands really shows alot as well
It was what caught my eyes
I felt sorry for the animals
@@nutellabrot9047 they're happy lol
@@DREAM-bk2ue The fawn is less than 4 weeks old. These are official music videos - made by professionals. The singer/musician is listed with a 2022 networth of 8 million dollars. I can imagine, that Bambi would rather be with Mom in the forest than being part of the production of a music video - but I love the song
This music video hits so hard... i used to be those guys... when my mom had cancer... i used to hang out with who ever and do almost anything just to forget about everything else, miss you mom, im doing ok.
I’m sure she is beyond proud that you are better now and in this moment that’s all that matters much love and blessing to you.
Our mothers Will only think the best of us i’m sure you’ve exceeded your moms hopes for you she’s always watching ❤️
damn this comment hit hard as fuck man
Wishing you all the best🤍
hey! its so crazy cz the same thing i did and i've beaten myself up for years for it,if its not personal to ask did you regret not spending more time ?
I love this music video more than just the song tbh. The chaos of the visuals and the slow serenity of the song go so well together, no clue how or why, but they just do.
There is just so much pain...in this video.
We are all loved in the same way, but we suffer differently and alone..
This was possibly the most depressing song visually from Joji
It shows the descent of a man into madness and complete self destruction, notice how the video accelerates, going faster and faster, indicating that when somebody starts falling into the darkness, they keep on falling faster and faster into the abyss and no matter how much hallucinogens or alcohol you consume, no matter how mad you drive yourself, it'll only make you fall faster...
incredible
I agree 100% this MV was so unique in it's nature and gave the song itself entirely new layers on top of the actual lyrics, showing us the absolute chaos that ensues in a man's life when he gives up on everything, it's beautifully melancholic
@@psychotronic9146 Sadly this is my life in a nutshell and I'm 19.
Do you know who filmed all this?
the mv felt like a cinema masterpiece with an amazing story all within these 4 minutes
This is by far the best music video I've watched this year so far. The juxtaposition between the violence of heart-broken men and Joji's beautiful voice makes you feel a wide range of emotion. It's quite amazing how he manages to make you feel the rage and desperation, but at the same time there's this double meaning of friends being there through life at your best and worst moments. Absolutely beautiful, if the next album is this powerful we're all in for a ride.
Quite a leap there
@@shadyman1583 wdym?
@@anon_exe8970 I wouldn't call this heartbroken men, I'd call it degenerates and good friends lmao
@@okosan It's a way of talking, you can tell these are broken men that've lost their way and became degenerates. Anyway, the video implies at least one of them is heartbroken.
@@Chronomatrix i see it the exact same way
The nostalgia this video brings back from when me and my friends would go urbex and do dumb shit is insane I thought I forgot about it. It was mainly a haze but this cleared it slightly
I don't know about any of y'all but everything at 2:45 gets me every time I watch this video. Although there is some outside audio from the footage and the more chaotic scenes during the chorus, just the mix of vocals and the noise makes my head hurt like I want the chaos, noise, and everything to just stop.
If you didn't hear it already, thanks for coming to this video. There is someone that appreciates you.
A man trapped in his own mind, A man who doesn’t know how to receive love, A man who cares but doesn’t know how to do better, a man who lives off of the only thing he knows (chaos). This video makes this song 10x more deep. Imagine wanting to do better for a loved one but not having the power to do so. The feeling of uselessness. Not being capable of seeing your worth. Hiding behind chaos and temporary glimpses of “happiness”. This is how I take this video and song. It’s beautiful yet chaotic, sad and hopeless, it conveys a feeling of loneliness in such a different way than other songs I can’t quite put my finger on it but the feeling is just… different. The time and effort in this is so overwhelmingly amazing. Made me feel emotions I hadn’t felt in a long time.
I relate to this
Indeed so
Well said💯
Very well described buddy 💯💯
You put it into words 🙂
This song really represents losing one’s self. Throughout the video there’s a lot of situations where it seems like someone is just trying to fuck around with their life in order to cope with the fact that they don’t know what to do with themselves anymore. Trying to change and move away from the past but just still ending up in the same fucked up world. This video is genuinely a true piece of art that shows how it truly feels to feel alone. If you’re reading this and are having thoughts like these, you aren’t alone
I second your comment. May they all stay strong and have a speedy recovery!
Dont read my name 😑,
This hit the spot tonight. Not the current situation but recovering from so much “fun”. People love and appreciate you too 💜
Definitely leaves a feeling of loss...glad my interpretation isn't alone! You can feel the pain and frustration in the clips..the head grasping with the hands.. we've all been there.
❤️
you were my first real love and my first real ever heartbreak
This song is so very important to me. just recently, the whole reason it is so important to me, reminded me about this song. So i decided to watch the video. Now I respect the song even more
The emotional pain displayed in this video is indescribable. The way it is all displayed sends a message that is on a straight passage straight into the soul. This is the art of realism and its amazing.
Yeah ,I feel the same way. I fr cried to this song lol. It got me, because well. I can kind of relate to it. And yes, I agree that it is art. It did hit me pretty hard. I don't know about you guys but Joji's music always hits me straight into the soul.
So whats the message?
@@justinianthegreat154 this is what a friend told me what it means "But glimpse of us if you read the lyrics is a story about the guy finding someone so perfect that makes his days better and carries their stress for them no matter what but even though this girl is so perfect he still wishes it was her (as in his ex) so each time he looks into her eyes he sees a glimpse of him and his ex instead of him and his current girlfriend meaning he was never over her and even in some of the lyrics says he's fine and over it he then wonders if he laughs the way he did and if one day she feels lonely he hopes he can see a glimpse of him in his new boyfriends eyes and then it repeats with him seeing a glimpse of them
" so yeah there's your answer.
@@Shikiyodo no, try to watch the behind the scenes, there are people who are living this way, but these are all good filming team and good actors, it looks so real
@@fanieisnotfunny *Y que opinas sobre este tema?* :)
ruclips.net/video/nNoN4QDllKE/видео.html
*Sería un honor ver tu comentario ahí*
I was so not expecting a video like this for this song. When the only solution in life seems to be “whatever”. Another gem, Joji’s style.
oi linda
Tinha q ser um pedro msm
fr i was expecting smth cute 😭, i literally watched the whole video open mouthed
It's straight up Art. I thought it was gonna be another neat joji track, but I watched the video and was just speechless. No matter the situation, the song perfectly demonstrates someone who is completely stuck in life. As someone who's felt the same way for years, this song made me break down. I may have never had a relationship or have done risky activities, but the video's overwhelming amount of chaos, apathy, and loneliness hit me right in the face.
Mmmm this comment
Joji you are incredible, your songs are what help me continue I swear that at times I have tried not to continue anymore but your lyrics your songs are my inspiration thank you brother thank you.
this came out before i met and lost my first love, almost a year long relationship. i never understood it until i lost her and tried to move on with other women.
Maybe this is a song for lovers, but this song makes me miss a friend, a lost friend
Or his spiral from fame as filthy frank, to his lesser stardom as joji
man
Max Jacob me too
me too
@@oogabooga5876 lmao
It just crazy how Ive seen him grow from having chocolate spat into his mouth to now making songs and getting top 10 on the billboard charts. Its crazy and these songs are just so beautiful. Thank you joji for everything.
Truly amazing to watch
He was music genious back then too
I won't say that's growing. That was him as well, this is him as well. Both are a form of art, respect both of him
@@permissiyus5822 For Pink Guy.
This is just a regular Filthy Frank video but with a serious song
no one will read this but i just broke up with my bf of a year and a half its not a lot of time to spend with one person but im young. He wasnt treating me right and i was in a cycle of going back, its finally over i feel sad but this song reminds me of before him, the kid i still was, a glimpse of the person i wish i was again, i wont ever feel that agin i only will ever see a glimpse of the person i once was.
Not really a Joji fan, but I’m surprised almost no one is talking about this music video. It frames the music in this incredibly gritty but authentic feel of someone trying to fill a void that their past lover used to fill; a void that they try to fill by gangbanging and living in a trap house with their equally messed up buds that can’t open up to each other, slowly showing that it obviously isn’t working out by the end. It’s sad and disturbing to watch, but it’s incredibly real.
i got that too. not a loved on but like a situation we miss its so fucked bit made me miss me old best friend and we haven't talked in years.
That's deep
As a former drug addict this hits right in my heart
Ngl this used to be me but I wasn’t going through a break up or anything, I was just in an extremely abusive relationship where people told me they felt I had some form of Stockholm syndrome.
I was just a teen trying to fit in when he got me into drugs like acid, shrooms and shit that wasn’t right with my brain. When I left in February, I had OD’d on adderall and now I’m seemingly permanently fucked up from that shit. I don’t do drugs anymore. I drink occasionally but no where near as much as I used to.
I hate who I became.
Oh wow , I was honestly really confused by the video cuz it wasn't what I was thinking when I first listened to the song
This song man....... That everlasting distraction of negativity due to other things in our life (could be using another girl, mental problems, reckless lifestyle etc) when you're only just trying to be loved. You don't even have to go through all the stuff in the video to feel whats being shown here and that's why Joji is the best.
really truthful but relatable, that's what is. Also hi :) I made a cover of Glimpse of Us from the ex's perspective, check it out?
Bro..I can’t stop playing this song
literally my life in 3 minutes
Can't believe he's back with this...brings tears in my eyes 😢
1 year ago I met a girl and I was really in love with like I didn’t was in love before. She invited me in her town for 1 week and this was beautiful, I was really in love with her. This song was the OST of my travel back in my town. I really wanted this story to work and I didn't want to leave her, she was so incredible. We kept talking for months after that, every day for god's sake. Now we don't talk anymore, she's replaced me with someone else and I sincerely hope they're happy. When I listen to this song I think back to that moment in my journey home and I hope that one day she'll come back into my life. I miss her very much. Thanks Joji for all the memories, thanks Joji for this song
It hurts when she doesn’t answer, but it hurts more when she does.
Saying goodbye, not knowing when I’ll hear her voice again.
i never imagined that 1 guy in my childhood who always pull unimaginable stupidness and pranks will create music this good and great good job Joji!
