    The music video gives me a feeling of how young broken men act out in destructive ways when all they are really looking for is connection - often times in our society, the connection between romantic partners (say, a man and a woman) is seen as the ultimate bond - so a lot of energy is put into those connections, perhaps at the expense of reaching similar depths with your platonic relationships - your friends. When that relationship is done, there was so much energy and emotional input 'lost' that they spiral into self-destruction. All the men in the video are 'bonding' over destructive activities - either defacing their bodies with tattoos (not saying it's a bad thing, but it's essentially defacing your body in the same way that tagging is defacing a building), getting rid of all their hair, destroying everything (vehicles, houses), either play fighting or really fighting each other, burning things, but there's moments where their relationships are highlighted even if just for a moment - the texting, the shots of various women in conversation with some of the masked men, seemingly an argument between a broken couple.
    As the video progresses, the intensity of the externalized violence ramps up, but it only serves to counterbalance the intensity of the alienation of the various guys - you see shots of them alone, lying face down on a mattress (presumably crying) in a messed up house, or huddled up close to the skidding cars, or burying their faces on their hands while a car burns in the background. They're all alone, the friendships and the path they've gone down on, wanton destruction of property and even their closest relationships, they've sacrificed even their relationships for the cheap thrills of their adrenaline-fuelled lifestyles, the quick dopamine hits of new excitement. Perhaps regretting their decisions, or the circumstances that brought them here.
    The video's violence and quickly-edited nature contrasts with the almost serenade-like melancholy of the actual music - ultimately what they're looking for is that love story. Also, in psychoanalysis, the shaving of the head can be seen as a hint that the person completely gave up on its identity, regardless of the motive (which often happens when some people join a gang. They kill their old self and start living for something different, that's why the video feels unsettling). Your genuine reaction madee cry as well. It will get better bruv.

    It is a trully diffrent song from me either. I lost my love this year, 5th of march. Man 2022 is really the shittiest year for me. After 3,5 years of being together she said her feelings towards me changed. And on may 6th she told me she started new relation. Im really struggling rn.. that song is just trully a wonderful representation how I've been feeling... how I've missed her everyday, How i missed her wonderful voice and happiness which truly helped me through hard times.. I truly understand your situation. Love is just so powerful, that song is showing me how we, people truly have similar problems.
    I hope everyone of us will find true happiness one day, fighting for it is just so exhausting.
    Stay strong everybody, we will survive it.

    • @JoJoLewis
      @JoJoLewis  2 года назад +5

      Btw your "fuck" at 8:37 is so powerful that at first I thought that was in a mv. And after it, someone also says it, intresting coincidence.

    I can’t get enough of the feeling this song provides. I don’t know if it is nostalgia but the way Joji talks about that specific sensation makes me feel understood.
    As if I’ve been stuck in this song for years, listening to it in repeat even though it just came out. It’s like he talks to a part of my own self I’ve deeply tried to deny.
    But in the end It is relieving to cry, knowing I am not alone stuck with those hurtful thoughts. Even though we might get through it, these are things that never leave us.
    The hardest part is to accept them.
    Joji helps me acknowledge the weak part of me, the flaws and tears we tend to hide.

    I feel you man, I miss my ex so fucking much...she moved really far away. My dumb ass deleted the texts from her number and all I have left is our conversations on discord... It really hurts when you miss someone so much and you thought they were your soulmate but now you have no way of even calling them or having that closure that when they left they didn't hate you or that they never forgave you for the breakup ...

    After this song, Joji is easily my favourite ever singer. The Weeknd is amazing, don't get me wrong, but his music doesn't do it for me like Joji's does. Joji's voice hasn't just got better, it's always been the perfect voice for what he sings about and the writing of this song is on another level. Glimpse Of Us, Slow Dancing In The Dark, Yeah Right, and Run are my favourites. I'd love to see you react to Aaryan Shah. He's another incredible singer.

    I've seen some other reaction videos of this and many of them just didn't understand the music video, so I'm glad to find someone who gets it. I'm sorry that you feel heartbreak. The way you cried made me emotional and cry too, which is a good thing I believe. I came across this song a couple of weeks ago and the music video hit me so hard. Not in the same way as these guys in the video but I neglected myself and did stupid things in the past. I have been down for some other reasons lately and this music video gives me some moment to reflect on myself and tells me not to go back there again.

    First person I see who understood the clip. The majority of people don't understand, they think that it has no correlation. The clip just shows people that are broken, they occupy their minds as much as they can, so that they don't have to remind of the suffering, and the clip shows some of those moments of lucidity. It's heartbreaking.

    @cutiebearbootie1820 2 года назад

    youre the only person to listen AND watch and put the pieces together. Stand alone this song is more about the girl and how much the loss hurts, the video is all about the attempt to forget instead of moving on. Even big tough guys suffer inside and they turn to drugs, crime, fighting or whatever they find fun or exhilarating to temporarily get their mind off of things. The first time i saw this i was so confused on how they were related but now it makes the song that much more beautiful

    Memories are a beautiful thing, feel it, cherish it and smile at the end of the day life is a blank journal we all have. Everything we go through gets written down and time and time again we read/look back at the pain, the joy, we cry and then we smile, nevertheless we continue writing.

    Beautiful interpretation of this song and MV - the glimpse of us can also be about your old crew, lifestyle, loved one (whether it's significant other, family, friend) and it showed how toxic depression can be to your own life and other people around you.
    For anyone who's ever had depression, this song and MV is very relatable.

    Heyhey, I don‘t know if you still read comments a few months later, but I can truly relate to your feelings with the break up and what this song is moving in the heart. I hope half a year later, that you can see joy again, and if not, that is okey. My break up is a few weeks old now, and it is such a painful way to go. But a learning, for everyone, I‘ve got from the beginning is, that there is no right or wrong way out. That everything that happens, is part of the process! Don‘t judge yourself, if you check your phone again and again, if you want to send angry messages or if you can‘t understand why tf this happend. It was important for me to write this, because I don‘t understand either, but I‘ve got right people to the right time, which said right things in the right moment to me. Wanted to share this♥️
    Glimpse of us, a song that breaks the heart again and again, and even more, if the word hits like an arrow! But even that is okey to do and to listen. NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY OUT!

    I'm surprised how many people are missing the premise of the song. hes talking about being in a relationship with someone else after the perfect girl broke up with him, he keeps comparing his current relationship with the previous. he looks in her eyes and only gets a glimpse of how he felt with this other girl. he can't fall for her touch, he doesn't love her because hes still in love with this other girl.
    then he goes on to say that hes says he fine and hes moved on but hes only here passing time in her arms. he wants to be in his previous relationship and hes just waiting, passing time and hoping they brake up as he says he hopes she finds him again.

    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

    RUN!! Go find her! Open your heart to her just the way you did it in this video! Don’t let her go! Get her back! Propose to her. Ask her to be your wife or you WILL regret it for the rest of your life! There’s still hope! You belong together! RUN!!!!!!
