I went through a real bad break up in February and tonight I found out my homie was cheated on by his gf of three years and I’m sitting here sick to my stomach. I’m actually ok for myself but I’m hurting for others out there drowning in those feelings it can be overwhelmingly rough holy shit spread peace and love
Bruh you should do a separate reaction to the vid, the song plus the video is such an interesting dynamic. It almost points towards how people in the saddest positions end up turning to drugs and violence and nicotine to try and "live" away that pain, only causing a cycle that never ends. It's really an interesting piece of art when combined.
Especially considering his past. Putting that into the perspective of Filthy Frank, seeing his antics and creating a song like that really adds an extra layer into the song, and how this is probably a feeling that he’s experienced. His emotion is so raw here. Wonderful song by Joji.
My 7 year relationship ended almost a year ago. I am healing and I’m generally okay now, it had been a long time since I had a breakdown and cried, but then this song came out, and when I listened to it, I cried my eyes out.
I understand you wanted to listen to the song without the music video, I did the same thing the first listen, but then with the video it becomes something else, the juxtaposition between violence of broken men and Joji's voice is absolutely incredible, whoever directed that video deserves as much recognition. It's a beautiful song, definitely one his best.
I disagree, the video took away alot of what the song did for me when I first listened to it. I'm completely aware of what it is trying to do, I'm just not interested in it. OH well, to each their own. Just glad the songs fantastic.
Man I love Joji. I’ve loved him since he was Filthy Frank and I love him now. This song is just so beautiful. I really like Nectar so I hope he has a new album coming soon. I think he does since he’s gonna be doing Day N Vegas this year.
the moment you realize this isnt the "breakup" type song but its the "one that got away" type of song, but still joji has really been upgrading since the last time we heard from him and im honestly really 4 the new joji😭❤
I’d genuinely never listened to a Joji track before this video so I’ve gone and listened to his full first album and holy shit I’m an immediate fan this guy is phenomenal
@@savage_tse8220 bro my girl cheated on me over a year ago it was a long relationship and I saw her every day and I couldn’t get her out of my head I still think of parts of the relationship to this day but just know you don’t miss her you miss the thought of her you’ll get over this just give it time and don’t be scared to cry or to show your emotions you’ve got this lad 🤝❤️
My 4 year relationship just ended recently. I saw her disappearing in front of my eyes yet I would pretend everything was fine. Some times I would see a glimpse of us in her eyes, a glimpse of our memories, hope. But in the end we both parted ways. Funnily enough my favourite artist just releases a song that resonates with me so much even though it has different meanings. Thank you Joji.
literally just went trhough a break up with a girl that helped me and i helped her through a lot and now it ended a couple days ago because it was right person just wrong timing and this track just amplifies these feelings :/
I guarantee you it gets better. Went through a real tough one back in 2020. It crushed me. Thought the pain would never leave but I promise you it does. Feel all of your feelings man you got this. One day at a time
Stay strong my friend. The Beauty of Love is that it won't just happen once. Love is boundless. Let the goodness of this relationship that has come to an end reflect in you so that when love returns to your life, you can reflect what you learned. Godspeed friend
What I noticed is that the video parallels alot of Joji's days on RUclips with his friends. Wearing masks, playing characters, messy surroundings and shock value stuff. But as the video goes on you see that one of the guys is begging to act strange and seems regretful and unable to keep doing the things he is doing, another similarity to George's career.
@@tylerbarrett7167 bruh not really,theres a cool documentary about him search filthy frank to joji or smth and youll find it,he wanted to make serious music and be himself (he made a joji vlogs channel on 2013 that got 0 support)since 2012 but his community didnt like that so he built it based on music memes and made the pink guy album when he was at the top then directly switched up,not that he lived like we seen him it was a character that he played once or twice a month
I don't think there could have been a better video for this song. Having lived a lot of what this video portrays, the escapism after losing a loved one, distracting yourself with friends, drugs and alcohol, to the slow descent into insanity and finally defeat. The build of the song follows this journey, he doesn't have to be singing about another person he's singing about his life.
@@MinecraftRick Time, efforts, friends, experiences. The excruciating sadness will be there, maybe for months, but in my experience, forcing yourself to talk, to see friends, to do things, is the only way I found to truly go over it, as games, alcohol and drugs were really just a distraction, and not a solution. I hope you will get over it, find some hapiness in your life again, we are with you mate.
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 the heightened emotions expressed. 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. Got this comment from the mv comment section and i couldnt agree more.
I agree wholeheartedly, this is a great observation. People who are saying that the video ruins the song I feel don't try to understand that every love song isn't about roses and fresh laundry. Sometimes its depression, self negligence. Its a perfect video because every time I think of this song I think of the cruel conditions the people in the video are living in, fake or real and it just gets me into that melancholy mood perfectly. What an outstanding song.
Yeah, saying is better without the video is like saying This Is America is better without the video. It's a holistic piece of art that feels like it's meant to be taken all together. I mean, the song is nice, but it's so much more interesting and hits much harder with the context of the video.
@@od_certified347 apart from life is not the same and foot forward, personally I don’t remember the rest of the album after listening to it. I just think his previous releases were so much better and took more risks 🤷♀️
I relate so hard with tears not coming out normally but music and movies definitely getting them out of me. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be something sad - just something beautiful enough to move me. Also agree that it always feels nice to get em out, fuck holding em in.
I lost someone to suicide some time ago and haven't cried since, I've been almost totally desensitized to my emotions and this song slapped me in the fucking nuts and I just couldn't stop myself from crying. Joji is such an amazing artist and brings out real emotions
A reaction to the video paired with the song should be a separate video. It really changes the meaning of the song when you're watching the video. Almost like it's two different songs. Thanks for the video Jon
My first true love and I broke up just over 4 years ago now, and I hadn't cried about her in a long time. But this song made it all come flooding back and I just broke down. It brought me right back to the state I was in for almost two years straight. I turned to drugs to numb the pain, and became a full fledged addict. I just hit 401 days sober on Tuesday. The song and the video hit me so damn hard. I recently found someone new, but I see so much of her in them. It's so damn difficult, and it's been four fucking years. Does that pain ever go away? Do you ever truly "get over" your first love? Will my heart ever stop sinking whenever I think of her, or seeing something that reminds me of her? This song perfectly encapsulates what I'm going through right now, and it is genuinely one of the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking songs I have ever listened to. I'm not really a fan of Joji, I know who he is and I knew he made music, but I was not expecting this from him. What an incredible and beautiful song.
New relationship will lessen the pain. Stop listening to this tune. There is a reason you guys broke up, it was never what you really thought it to be. She never cared as much as you did.. (this one always sobered me up) Like why cry for someone who is not crying for you. The above is what I always needed to set me straight, it's blunt but it gets you out of moping around. You can do it! Wishing you bright days and nights!
I’ve recently gone through a break (if 3 months ago is recent), we were in a long distance relationship and we lost her mom. We tried everything in our power to keep things together but we were slow dancing in a burning room from the start. Haven’t spoken for a second for 3 months now, but honestly I think there will always be a piece of her in the way I see the world moving forward. If it wasn’t obvious, I cried my eyes out watching this, but I’ve washed my face and ready to keep it moving, life is too precious to be moping around.
3 week ago. Same thing. I watched us fade into this different thing and then it was over. One night, one 5 minute conversation and haven't spoken since. I don't know what this feeling is but it's horrible 😕
I feel like the "her" he sees his old relationship in is chaos. He sees a glimpse of them in it and cant fully get what he once had in it. The video with the song is pure chaos and encapsulates how hard the mc is trying to use it to forget the love he lost.
Im with someone and very much happy and in love, and this song brought back a lot of memories and sadness of the heart break that once was, this song is outstanding and I can’t stop listening to it
Right? You can be very happy and in love but still appreciate a heartbreaking song like this. It’s kind of beautiful. Kind of makes you appreciate what you got. 👍🏼
I haven't listened to joji before, nor have I been in a relationship, but man, this song still hits hard. The vocals and background music are absolutely phenomenal and the way this song captured his experience was surreal. Amazing, amazing song with so much passion, the work and time it took was sooo worth it. The emotional depth it has to it aswell! Definitely one to have a good cry to. This song is bound to leave me coming back for more and listening to some of the other songs he's made.
Filthy Frank was a big part of my life when I was in the deepest dumps. The progression of Frank to Joji has been very reminiscent of my own life and growth. Both Frank and Joji are so integral to my experience through high school and the chaos afterwards. I'm forever grateful to find an artist that resonates with me in this way.
Joji released this when I was dealing with a break up and boy I can tell you I was tears, holding back so many temptations, regretting many things, wishing I was a better person, I didn’t feel like I was good enough for her and I broke up with her. This song killed me. Sometimes love is not enough, that’s the killer.
This is like a sequel or maybe the sad aftermath of Like you do, because that song is when he is in the relationship, and he's basically saying how no one loves him or no one makes him feel like she does, and this song seems like he is no long with that girl and it's the same concept but from a different perspective.
There's an amazing duet of Allie Sherlock and Jamal Corrie singing on the streets of Dublin, they killed this song. Then coincidentally the two songwriters that wrote this song came by and were so stoked that they were singing their song....so the two writers sang the song. Wow! what a performance - it's on you tube titled under Allie Sherlock & Jamal Corrie...don't miss it!
Great decision on listening to the audio alone. I heard this song for the first time randomly at a zumiez of all places last Sunday and I just stopped instantly recognizing Joji’s voice. I felt like crying right then and there.
I have been suffering quite badly from depression off and on lately, and even tried taking my own life a month back. I have still been trying to come to terms with a break up but was dealing with depression beforehand, so my break up right before my birthday escalated my depression a lot. I have even started smoking cigarettes and drinking large amounts of spirits to cope on the nights I'm not handling it well. So this song is quite relatable and I feel like a lot of us listening to it can relate in some way. It is another great song by Joji.
I just graduated middle school in germany. That was the last song that played and that was the song Ive heard when I said goodbye to my classmates that I learned to love so much over the past six years. Also a girl that I very like. I should have told her my real feelings... I wish I could turn back time to this evening, to this six hours. Probably the best six hours of my life.
It's this song right here that makes you feel that... no matter the people you get into close relationships with .. it'll never be as genuine as "her's" 💔💔
I love how you can look at “Will He” which has a similar tone and seeing his growth musically, not layered under the production and portraying emotion through his vocals alongside the actual lyrics
I was waiting for your reaction - definitely go back and watch the video it’ll add a completely different Layer to the song. I did the same first time (listened without the video) and it’s definitely a grower. “I’m only here passing time In her arms” gets me everytime.
From Filthy Frank, To Pink Guy , to a vast array of characters! To Joji! This man created so many characters like many, to possibly avoid being themselves! I’m glad “Joji” got to eventually be himself and bless the world with his actual talent of song! 🙏🏻 🎶
I know this song is about a breakup but, man, this song holds a different meaning to me simply because that was the song that I first listened to after my kitten passed two weeks ago. It is a song that really helped me realize how music can at times both make you feel pain but also help one heal. One of my favorite songs ever since by far. Can't listen without getting emotional but that makes it all the more special.
I'm still struggling with a breakup and I lived what this song talks about, getting into a relationship your not ready for, you just seeing them and wishing they were someone else, knowing they've moved on and your stuck dreaming of a past long since gone, trying to learn to open up and attach to someone new and being physically unable, wake up a lot expecting them to be next to me or to see them laugh once more or to be able to feel that kind of love I felt.
This is honestly one of the best music videos I've ever seen. It looks chaotic and disjointed at first but then you realize the point of it and it hits hard. The fucked up things we do as men to just distract us from the pain.
I feel like the choeos of the video puts a meaning to the calmness of the song, it reminds the listener that even the most hectic individual is capable of love and levels the playing field that no matter where we come from, or no matter our backgrounds... our hearts go through the same emotions in times of true love and true heart break... master piece
My crush recently leave me alone without a reason and now we dont talk anymore. I had tried everything to get her with me but nothing works..Everything I had done for her goes to waste. And now I see her getting closer and closer with another man... It really hurts me when I realise that I never ever had her by my side before.. Thx Joji for making this song, I guess it could heals me during these hard times...
This song is truly beautiful and the music video is artfully pieced together where it visually tells a story, with only the smallest bit of dialog. Both are absolutely perfect on their own but together they create something new, something beautiful, sad, ugly, and wonderful.
Great reaction! Thank you for making that comment about not being able to let out tears in the day to day and using music and movies as an outlet I thought I was the only one!
After a break up recently the lyrics hit. Everytime I try to over on and go with someone else, it doesn't feel the same. Ty joji for making this song. Really the best song I've heard this year.
Loved this entire video. My first time watching your channel, love your attitude and perspective as well as how you handled the switch from the music video to just the audio. Felt exactly like how I would handle it 😂 also fresh out of a break up after a year so I agree, song hits hard as hell. Just a straight masterclass from Joji
This song actually made me break it off with someone I was seeing at the time because I realised I wasn't over my ex.. I realised this after I broke down listening to this on my own & it hit me that I expected the new girl to be like my old girl & it wasn't healthy for either of us. Looking back on it, I made the right decision.
this is exactly what i’m going through. i lost the love of my life recently. and i would do anything to get her back but it’s been killing me. knowing i could never get her back while i still love her to death. i’m not interested in anyone else but this hurts me to my core. we’re still good but it all hurts so much and i cannot let her go. i’ve been in constant tears since i heard it.
I relate to this song a lot....as my love died an year ago....and now I'm with someone else. My present gf is an angel...and loves me with all heart.....yet I miss my old love..and wish she was still here....in my arms...
Honestly as a Joji fan one of my favorite parts of listening to each new release has been seeing the improvements on vocals. While I did and still do love his older work I will fully admit the vocals were always to me the weakest part of the songs. It felt like even when the song would have a good beat and good sound the lack of polish on the vocal side just took away from what could have been an incredible experience otherwise. However after Nectar I started to notice the improvements being made and the strides being taken and i think that can be fully realized in this one. While before it always felt like they used the beats and riffs to sometimes cover up his voice and try and distract from the less then stellar vocals at times, this song shows just how far he has come in the process of being an artist. The song is gorgeous and simple. People like to say Jojis music is very similar and while yes it most certainly can be this one felt like a breath into something that we've already seen before. The emotion and the realness just overwhelmed me my first listen and I cannot wait to see where he goes next.
I found my male Adele. This is an astonishing display of musical prowess. Absolutely transcendent track. Btw absolutely love the channel, keep up the excellent content!
joji fr mwoke up and said to himself and said imma makes people cry today :,).. even tho i cried listening to this song i dont relate to it becaue my love my gf so much that i could never look into her eyes and see my ex because my ex hurt me and didnt make me happy ever but my gf now makes me smile and makes me feel some sort of way each time i see her my stomach just does flips and makes me so happy but i really do love this song
I think that's how I feel, after losing my ex after 4 years of our relationship, didn't think it was going to hurt so bad, still hurts, still healing, just trying to find a way to stop using drugs to stop the hurt. Been clean off percs for 2 years and only been smoking Weed and doing Valium every now and then. I wish everyone luck who's going through the same thing.
The music video is art. It made me feel uncomfortable at first until I realized this is real for some people. The video is pure art mixing it with this beautiful song. It's a whole new level. I think this is Jojis past life that he shared with us. I think he found music to bring him back from the brink.
0:46 - Joji - *sings*
Jon - "Oh fuck off mate"
The most British thing ever and I love it

I love the fact that you stopped the video to listen to the lyrics and the song that is the best part about this artist I f****** love you man

This song wrecked me. Hard.
I don’t really listen to Joji that much, but this song was outstanding. I should probably go back and listen to some of his other stuff
Ew and Like You Do are my personal favourites. Incredible tracks that are kinda similar to this in the sense theyre incredible ballad type songs
Afterthought is also really good 👍

I relate so hard with tears not coming out normally but music and movies definitely getting them out of me. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be something sad - just something beautiful enough to move me. Also agree that it always feels nice to get em out, fuck holding em in.
this is a really good joji track I also loved the video
I got chills. His voice is stunning

I lost someone to suicide some time ago and haven't cried since, I've been almost totally desensitized to my emotions and this song slapped me in the fucking nuts and I just couldn't stop myself from crying. Joji is such an amazing artist and brings out real emotions
Man that brought back a memory I was depressed for years didn’t feel anything then I heard pink floyds ‘comfortably numb’ and it slapped me same way
A reaction to the video paired with the song should be a separate video. It really changes the meaning of the song when you're watching the video. Almost like it's two different songs. Thanks for the video Jon
Yeah, the MV has definitely a message for everyone especially for men.
Me: "I would never cry to a Joji song"
Also Me: *Glimpse of Us* 😭🤧😭

slow dancing in the dark?
As someone who has been going through a rough breakup this song absolutely broke me down but I love it so much
Like he said “every tear heals” and I hope it gets easier for you bro
My first true love and I broke up just over 4 years ago now, and I hadn't cried about her in a long time. But this song made it all come flooding back and I just broke down. It brought me right back to the state I was in for almost two years straight. I turned to drugs to numb the pain, and became a full fledged addict. I just hit 401 days sober on Tuesday. The song and the video hit me so damn hard. I recently found someone new, but I see so much of her in them. It's so damn difficult, and it's been four fucking years. Does that pain ever go away? Do you ever truly "get over" your first love? Will my heart ever stop sinking whenever I think of her, or seeing something that reminds me of her? This song perfectly encapsulates what I'm going through right now, and it is genuinely one of the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking songs I have ever listened to. I'm not really a fan of Joji, I know who he is and I knew he made music, but I was not expecting this from him. What an incredible and beautiful song.
i cant even fucking imagine. i lost her a month ago. i’m reminded of her everyday. it’s going to be okay.
New relationship will lessen the pain.
Stop listening to this tune.
There is a reason you guys broke up, it was never what you really thought it to be.
She never cared as much as you did.. (this one always sobered me up)
Like why cry for someone who is not crying for you.
The above is what I always needed to set me straight, it's blunt but it gets you out of moping around.
You can do it!
Wishing you bright days and nights!
I’ve recently gone through a break (if 3 months ago is recent), we were in a long distance relationship and we lost her mom. We tried everything in our power to keep things together but we were slow dancing in a burning room from the start. Haven’t spoken for a second for 3 months now, but honestly I think there will always be a piece of her in the way I see the world moving forward. If it wasn’t obvious, I cried my eyes out watching this, but I’ve washed my face and ready to keep it moving, life is too precious to be moping around.
Same man almost 2 months ago we broke up. Haven’t said a word to her since. Shits painful man
3 week ago. Same thing. I watched us fade into this different thing and then it was over. One night, one 5 minute conversation and haven't spoken since. I don't know what this feeling is but it's horrible 😕
I feel like the "her" he sees his old relationship in is chaos. He sees a glimpse of them in it and cant fully get what he once had in it. The video with the song is pure chaos and encapsulates how hard the mc is trying to use it to forget the love he lost.
the entire time I was thinking "no way Jon keeps watching the music video with all that noise in the background" LOLL
Im with someone and very much happy and in love, and this song brought back a lot of memories and sadness of the heart break that once was, this song is outstanding and I can’t stop listening to it
Right? You can be very happy and in love but still appreciate a heartbreaking song like this. It’s kind of beautiful. Kind of makes you appreciate what you got. 👍🏼
So happy that Joji is back. Love this track to repeat it once it dropped. Instrumental felt a bit empty in some bits though.
You’d have to fill in the empty bits with your emotions
I haven't listened to joji before, nor have I been in a relationship, but man, this song still hits hard. The vocals and background music are absolutely phenomenal and the way this song captured his experience was surreal. Amazing, amazing song with so much passion, the work and time it took was sooo worth it. The emotional depth it has to it aswell! Definitely one to have a good cry to. This song is bound to leave me coming back for more and listening to some of the other songs he's made.

Filthy Frank was a big part of my life when I was in the deepest dumps. The progression of Frank to Joji has been very reminiscent of my own life and growth. Both Frank and Joji are so integral to my experience through high school and the chaos afterwards. I'm forever grateful to find an artist that resonates with me in this way.
I love hearing how far Joji's voice has come. I looked back at "Slow Dancing in the Dark" and "Will He" and could hear the improvement
Joji released this when I was dealing with a break up and boy I can tell you I was tears, holding back so many temptations, regretting many things, wishing I was a better person, I didn’t feel like I was good enough for her and I broke up with her. This song killed me.
Sometimes love is not enough, that’s the killer.
Joji has legit never disappointed me with any of his tracks

This is like a sequel or maybe the sad aftermath of Like you do, because that song is when he is in the relationship, and he's basically saying how no one loves him or no one makes him feel like she does, and this song seems like he is no long with that girl and it's the same concept but from a different perspective.
His best vocals on a track yet, so beautiful!
There's an amazing duet of Allie Sherlock and Jamal Corrie singing on the streets of Dublin, they killed this song. Then coincidentally the two songwriters that wrote this song came by and were so stoked that they were singing their song....so the two writers sang the song. Wow! what a performance - it's on you tube titled under Allie Sherlock & Jamal Corrie...don't miss it!
Damn, I felt really called out when he said "bless you, if you're going through a break up" been fighting off tears because of this song.
idk if it’s just me but the song gives me very much La La Land vibes, i love it

I really didn't think Joji would top Run or Like you do, but I think this his best song hes made
I really liked 777 and MODUS, but people dont mention them that often :(
Like you do is still my Jam. Will He. Ew. Mr Hollywood.
@@seizera7586 MODUS is his best song imo, it’s incredible
Great decision on listening to the audio alone. I heard this song for the first time randomly at a zumiez of all places last Sunday and I just stopped instantly recognizing Joji’s voice. I felt like crying right then and there.
I love the fact that you switched to audio. While I do love the video, I have a pet peeve with videos that have sound going on.
I have been suffering quite badly from depression off and on lately, and even tried taking my own life a month back. I have still been trying to come to terms with a break up but was dealing with depression beforehand, so my break up right before my birthday escalated my depression a lot. I have even started smoking cigarettes and drinking large amounts of spirits to cope on the nights I'm not handling it well. So this song is quite relatable and I feel like a lot of us listening to it can relate in some way. It is another great song by Joji.
listened to this song about 30 times since it’s been released. God I needed new Joji
I just graduated middle school in germany. That was the last song that played and that was the song Ive heard when I said goodbye to my classmates that I learned to love so much over the past six years. Also a girl that I very like. I should have told her my real feelings... I wish I could turn back time to this evening, to this six hours. Probably the best six hours of my life.
It's this song right here that makes you feel that... no matter the people you get into close relationships with .. it'll never be as genuine as "her's" 💔💔
I have never been in a relationship let alone a break up but this song still makes me cry every time :(
I love how you can look at “Will He” which has a similar tone and seeing his growth musically, not layered under the production and portraying emotion through his vocals alongside the actual lyrics
lyrics for the song
ruclips.net/video/ll20C7kfs8I/видео.html
I was waiting for your reaction - definitely go back and watch the video it’ll add a completely different Layer to the song. I did the same first time (listened without the video) and it’s definitely a grower. “I’m only here passing time In her arms” gets me everytime.
From Filthy Frank, To Pink Guy , to a vast array of characters! To Joji! This man created so many characters like many, to possibly avoid being themselves! I’m glad “Joji” got to eventually be himself and bless the world with his actual talent of song! 🙏🏻 🎶
I know this song is about a breakup but, man, this song holds a different meaning to me simply because that was the song that I first listened to after my kitten passed two weeks ago. It is a song that really helped me realize how music can at times both make you feel pain but also help one heal. One of my favorite songs ever since by far. Can't listen without getting emotional but that makes it all the more special.
The video is fantastic. It conveys so much emotion. It's art.
Been watching him since the Filthy Frank days, the fact that he followed his passion and the growth he's shown in it is amazing
His singing voice gets better and better

I'm still struggling with a breakup and I lived what this song talks about, getting into a relationship your not ready for, you just seeing them and wishing they were someone else, knowing they've moved on and your stuck dreaming of a past long since gone, trying to learn to open up and attach to someone new and being physically unable, wake up a lot expecting them to be next to me or to see them laugh once more or to be able to feel that kind of love I felt.
This is honestly one of the best music videos I've ever seen. It looks chaotic and disjointed at first but then you realize the point of it and it hits hard. The fucked up things we do as men to just distract us from the pain.
I feel like the choeos of the video puts a meaning to the calmness of the song, it reminds the listener that even the most hectic individual is capable of love and levels the playing field that no matter where we come from, or no matter our backgrounds... our hearts go through the same emotions in times of true love and true heart break... master piece
My crush recently leave me alone without a reason and now we dont talk anymore. I had tried everything to get her with me but nothing works..Everything I had done for her goes to waste. And now I see her getting closer and closer with another man... It really hurts me when I realise that I never ever had her by my side before.. Thx Joji for making this song, I guess it could heals me during these hard times...
This song is truly beautiful and the music video is artfully pieced together where it visually tells a story, with only the smallest bit of dialog. Both are absolutely perfect on their own but together they create something new, something beautiful, sad, ugly, and wonderful.
The video is so moving as well
I think it adds a lot to the song
Great reaction! Thank you for making that comment about not being able to let out tears in the day to day and using music and movies as an outlet I thought I was the only one!
Seriously, hearing this song just gives me goosebumps and a feeling.. just wow
After a break up recently the lyrics hit. Everytime I try to over on and go with someone else, it doesn't feel the same. Ty joji for making this song. Really the best song I've heard this year.
i lost my father and this somewhat helps me a lot
really love this
Loved this entire video. My first time watching your channel, love your attitude and perspective as well as how you handled the switch from the music video to just the audio. Felt exactly like how I would handle it 😂 also fresh out of a break up after a year so I agree, song hits hard as hell. Just a straight masterclass from Joji
You know Fridays are meant for watching Jon Denton with the new music
This song actually made me break it off with someone I was seeing at the time because I realised I wasn't over my ex.. I realised this after I broke down listening to this on my own & it hit me that I expected the new girl to be like my old girl & it wasn't healthy for either of us. Looking back on it, I made the right decision.
2:21 I really was hoping you'd do this 😂😂 good stuff lad!
this is exactly what i’m going through. i lost the love of my life recently. and i would do anything to get her back but it’s been killing me. knowing i could never get her back while i still love her to death. i’m not interested in anyone else but this hurts me to my core. we’re still good but it all hurts so much and i cannot let her go. i’ve been in constant tears since i heard it.
His next album is going to be a tear generator
I relate to this song a lot....as my love died an year ago....and now I'm with someone else. My present gf is an angel...and loves me with all heart.....yet I miss my old love..and wish she was still here....in my arms...
Honestly as a Joji fan one of my favorite parts of listening to each new release has been seeing the improvements on vocals. While I did and still do love his older work I will fully admit the vocals were always to me the weakest part of the songs. It felt like even when the song would have a good beat and good sound the lack of polish on the vocal side just took away from what could have been an incredible experience otherwise. However after Nectar I started to notice the improvements being made and the strides being taken and i think that can be fully realized in this one. While before it always felt like they used the beats and riffs to sometimes cover up his voice and try and distract from the less then stellar vocals at times, this song shows just how far he has come in the process of being an artist. The song is gorgeous and simple. People like to say Jojis music is very similar and while yes it most certainly can be this one felt like a breath into something that we've already seen before. The emotion and the realness just overwhelmed me my first listen and I cannot wait to see where he goes next.
Who hurts this man so much that every songs of his are heartbroken beyond repair? Superb
I found my male Adele. This is an astonishing display of musical prowess. Absolutely transcendent track. Btw absolutely love the channel, keep up the excellent content!
I love what you said. Music is my way of letting my emotions run free and let go.
Honestly the video deserves a reaction in itself it takes the song to another level!!!!

Bro joji never misses, he’s really good at making depressing songs. 👌
an anthem for anyone that has a past love than nobody can live up to
THANK YOU FOR DECIDING TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO BEFORE THE MV!!! ❤️
copium
@@adriantarifa5118 WDYM COPIUM?? 😆 lolll
@@imadterkmani3736 the video was fucking amazing. That’s why they are saying copium
Going through a breakup myself, 4 years together, we where engaged. The song makes me cry but the little shoutout made me cry too, thanks Jon i subbed
This was less of a song and more of an experience, and I'm all for it

joji fr mwoke up and said to himself and said imma makes people cry today :,).. even tho i cried listening to this song i dont relate to it becaue my love my gf so much that i could never look into her eyes and see my ex because my ex hurt me and didnt make me happy ever but my gf now makes me smile and makes me feel some sort of way each time i see her my stomach just does flips and makes me so happy but i really do love this song
I'd recommend listening to the song with the music video as you start to find how the visuals and audio compliment each other in building that story.
I think that's how I feel, after losing my ex after 4 years of our relationship, didn't think it was going to hurt so bad, still hurts, still healing, just trying to find a way to stop using drugs to stop the hurt. Been clean off percs for 2 years and only been smoking Weed and doing Valium every now and then. I wish everyone luck who's going through the same thing.
As someone trying to get over a breakup and pretend im over it as im in love with someone else this hits different
The music video is art. It made me feel uncomfortable at first until I realized this is real for some people. The video is pure art mixing it with this beautiful song. It's a whole new level. I think this is Jojis past life that he shared with us. I think he found music to bring him back from the brink.
