Lyrics
They're walking around
Head full of sound
Acting like
We don't exist
They walk in the room
And stare right through you
Talking like
We don't exist
But we exist
Daddy it's true
I'm different from you
But tell me why they treat me like this?
If you turned away
What would I say?
Not the first betrayed by a kiss
Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in the room
Tell 'em it's fine
Stare if you like
Just let us through
Just let us through
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
They're down on their knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
Daddy it's fine
I'm used to 'em now
But tell me why they treat me like this?
It's cause we do it like this
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in the room
Tell 'em it's fine
Stare if you like
Just let us through
Just let us through
Let 'em stare!
Let 'em stare!
If that's all they can do!
But I'd lose my heart
If I turned away from you
Oh Daddy don't turn away
You know that I'm so scared
But will you watch me drown?
You know we're going nowhere
We know that we're young
And no shit we're confused
But will you watch us drown?
What are you so afraid to lose?
Down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
You're down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
We exist!
We exist!
Down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
You're down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
We exist!
We exist!
We exist!
We exist!
Na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na
Maybe if you hang together
You can make the changes in our hearts
And if you hang together, you can change us
Just where should you start?

The old man worked the fuck out of that dance number.
Dylan Strother RIGHT??
Yah
And he's so sexy btw
@@byroncenteno9220 I agree 🤭
Watching Andrew act is always a pleasure. He gets lost in his roles, to the point you can't recognize him anymore. Here you no longer see Andrew, you see this sensitive girl who's just trying to show her real self and be loved, in a world that frightens her...
It’s been years and I still come back to this video. I’ll never forget the first time I had my wig taken off in public, on the bus. I tried so hard to ignore them, but they saw me and decided I was an easy target. They took my hat off, and with it came my wig. They played catch back and forth with it. My roommate at the time, a very strong-willed, beautiful, black woman climbed over the seat and snatched it from one of the men, and shoved them in the chest. She told them they better think twice before doing it again. They were stunned.
You need to get a life of achievement instead of virtue signalling mental illness compliance
We all can be any version of ourselves anytime at all. That's our right as a humans. You know you will not be defeated. There are good people everywhere. You are brave. I love Quentin Crisp ❤❤❤❤❤
Years later and this still one of the most beautiful music videos I’ve ever watched. Andrew Garfield gave a performance of a lifetime and he never said a word yet the emotions he displayed were felt. Not to mention the fact that the music itself just transmits pain and yet strength at the same time. I’m still get emotional after all this time
I cried watching this video for the first time. I still cry because it makes my blood boil that there's someone out there who has or is going through this.
No one deserves to be treated like this, ever. Just wish I could hug everyone who has or is enduring this treatment.
P
@@ameliarose3142 still crying everytime... and omg that is Andrew Garfield holyyyy, didnt knew till today LOL.
I remember crying so hard the first time I watched this. I had no idea it was Andrew Garfield, he is so special and lovely for doing this
Me too. Well put.
Garfield plays the part so well I kind of wish this was a movie
Or a comic strip.
About a cat.
FoggyNoggin xD
Realmente merece um filme
Clipe emocionante, lindo, congratulations Arcade Fire, congratulations Andrew Garfield
He’s great in angels in America
We have always existed, although we weren't always visible.
Very well said…
its pride month 2019 and just needed to listen to this.
kudos to all the people that chose their happiness and not anyone else's.
❤🧡💛💚💙
Silence, liberal
Well sais, your happiness should be your own and no one's else.
@Hyperion we all use pronouns, so it doesn't make sense for you to try and insult someone by calling them a pronoun.
#Pride2020
I'm sitting t my desk at work trying so hard not to cry. I've been struggling with my identity a lot lately. thank you.
You are beautiful
i hope the struggle eased up on...
You have the courage to post here. I don't know what you are going through, with your identity and sense of self. Sometimes when we look into our mind it can be very scary. My hope is that you realise that you are beautiful, no matter what. And you are okay, and in a place where you can access some help, someone open and honest who you can talk to. Truly, wishing you nothing but the best.
The ending was an actual live performance at Coachella that's the first Tim I ever heard "We Exist" and we we're listening to the lyrics then we see Andrew Garfield getting up on stage and we were just screaming! Amazing performance
wow srsly? that's coool!
That’s weird because it seemed like a dead, photoshopped art asset.
I'm super jealous.
Yeah and amazing Spider-Man!

1000+ manpoints to Andrew. What a bold performance. Really shows what he is capable of as an actor, and as a human being. Absolutely brilliant.
I get chills everytime she walks onto the stage.. So great..

@@magnumcamels she
Nah@@truckproductions
A beautiful video, but so sad. When she dissociates while being beaten, flying free through the air... that got me. Then at the end as she seems to go to the other side and the whole crowd is cheering her... that got me too. My daughter is trans and it's a worry, how cruel the world can be. I hope it's getting better so she can have a safe and empowered life.
Hope your daughter gets well soon❤
@@saimonasGppl like u r the reason y they even have to worry abt their daughter. U should feel ashamed of urself
@@saimonasG trans people don't need to "get well" the world needs to get better
Haha I just need the courage to cross dress in public.. I can do it in private but walk around in public.. no way.. RUclips is a place to share our real feelings.
To all those saying this is a bad influence, try watching the years worth of crap that has taught us to objectify women, that being depressed is a new trend and that the key to happiness is to drop sick beats and chase 2-dimensional pretty people. This video, right here, is the future. Embrace it. Learn from it. Let it open your mind and inspire you.
***** didn't want to disappoint you, but it's only in your fairy tale filled head...
Nebeason What's so fairy tale about what he said? Also it's tale* not tail. xD
"This video, right here, is the future. Embrace it. Learn from it. Let it open your mind and inspire you."
Now what, preacher, should I say amen?
This is nothing else but a propaganda.
Nebeason I'm pretty sure it's suppose to inspire, it's not like he's threatening us or telling us that we're all horrible people if we don't obey his statement. He's just saying the future is becoming more open, more aware of the problems we have when it comes to people that are different around us. I mean he has yet to tell me how I should live my life, or what I should be dedicating my life to. He's just stating that it's eye opening is all. Propaganda should actually induce fear or a need to take action in us. That's how a lot of it works. Unless it's inducing fear in you, then i'm sorry. :)
People are free to like what they like as long as it sells.
I think many people in the comments don't understand the importance of videos like this. It's awesome to see anyone take a stand for the LGBT community and that's exactly what this does.
Yea, I'm all for that and everything, but cross dressers and dancing cowboys were not what I thought of when I thought of We Exist.
***** ...was hurtful to watch something different of your expectations?^^
ALAN You don't have to "turn around" and be supportive of something like this if you're religious. Religion is about loving yourself and others, forgiveness and believing in a higher power. Fundamentalists give all religious people a bad name.
I agree, but can't help think they're using the topics they touch on more for attention, rather than opening peoples minds.
Felecity Rex do you not understand the concept of acting?
This song is pure confidence.
OMG, I'm so glad this song is back.
This is the reason you couldn't be an Avenger. You were too damn fab for them.
Garfield rocked this so hard!
Yeah, he made it work
Win Butler, lead singer of Arcade Fire, said this song is about a gay son (and daughter too, of course) coming out to his father. But they recorded a music video with a trans character. Then, personally, I consider this is about all of us LGBT. Cheers to us.
"Let 'em stare if that's all they can do
Tell 'em it's fine, stare if you like
Just let US THROUGH"
David Jung youre amazing David! Cheers
Don't much give a crap about the video or lyrics, I just like the tune, kinda like I like Bach, Chopin etc, no political social messages necessary
@@scottbarror1641 That's fine, enjoying music for the music itself is totally cool, but a lot of songs were made with some kind of message in mind, and I find being aware of those messages and understanding the lyrics contributes to my enjoyment of the music.
@@scottbarror1641 Maybe they're not really necessary for you, if you never felt the weight of society's backwards morality and judgment, lashing out at you for being who you are. You can enjoy whatever you like, but nobody is entitled to diminish the significance the message has for people with whom it resonates. Art is politics, and it's not too difficult to see that both subjects cannot and should not be dissociated.
We live in such self centered world everyone has to walk talk and be all alike!like i was telling my kids we dont live the the 60s anymore those hatred ppl will be gone soon this is the new millennium little by little we will accept each other the way we are this is 2020!
Favourite actor and favourite band, nothing could make me more happier! Thank you Andrew and Arcade Fire.
Can I just say how amazing it it of Andrew to do this. I know he's taken criticism but this is such a huge step in my opinion. I love him to pieces.
He is amazing.
In fact..
..he's the amazing spiderman-

@@d.s.j6051 Andrew Garfield! He played Spiderman :)
@@greenapple1470 thanks buddy,.. great job and muzka.
I need to see them live...
Brilliant acting performance
As a trans person, Seeing a cis person play this role in the way that he did shows that he understands at least a little what we go through. The way he stares in the mirror and is shy around men and cautious but trying to be confident. It shows that cis people can visualize how we feel in such an intense and heartbreaking and heartwarming way.
I understand why other trans people dont like how cis people play roles about us, but in certain circumstances I do like it. for example of a movie, they're looking for a person who fits the physical description of the person, especially if it's based off of a book. While trans people should always be offered positions for trans roles, they aren't always available. If they're looking for a pre-op pre-hormones person to play a role that is specified about pre-transition, it can be hard to find an actor that hasn't transitioned or doesn't plan to. Many actors have the financial or insurance means to transition however they please.
For roles that require a transitioned or partially transitioned person the same challenges can be faced, the actors may not be available, (Which doesn't mean they shouldn't try to find a trans person first) But when you cannot find one willing to or available to partake "The show must go on". I've watched a few movies and music videos that were played by cis people and it is honestly quite amazing how great of a job they can do. As long as they don't turn around and act like they know what it's like to be trans or mock trans people, of course. We shouldn't blame the cis actors for them getting the part because honestly, it's the directors and producers who make these decisions "Then don't try out for the part" is a low blow, because we all need money. Some people honestly just want to help spread recognition or put out a good image.
We have gay people who play as straight people
trans people who play as cis people
Straight people who play as gay people,
how is it any different? It's acting, not reality. Just because a cis person plays a trans person doesn't mean they're mocking us, a gay person playing straight or bisexual doesn't make them fakers or trying to win "Straight brownie points"
In reality, there's many many more cis than trans people, and we have to accept that we wont be portrayed in every way we desire.
As long as it's done respectfully, I don't see any problem with it.
This really what I wanted to say, but I can't improve on it so, ditto and thanks.
You, human, are a wordsmith
thats what separates an actor from a good actor. a good actor is believable in the role. i think andrew nailed the part, he doesnt have to be trans to be convincing.
I loved this comment!!
I just want to say thank you for you comment. As an actor I find it hard to explain to my fellow LGBTIQA+ friends that we don't need to have a gay actor playing a gay man on screen. That's not what we want as actors, we want a large variety of roles. So, you cannot limit people to what they are on real life, otherwise as you said transgender actors would only play transgender roles; that won't make them happy. Acting is about playing characters that are different from you, that's why a straight girl can play a transgender man. And imagine the satisfaction that that girl will have if you consider that she did a great job! Acting is not reality. I understand the fight for representation and I stand to this fight; but don't confuse this with acting, acting have to be about the excitement of the roles. Again, thanks for understanding this.

Andrew sure can move those hips.
His hips movements are better than mines UnU hahahaha
He can dance better than me :/
Hahaha so true
Yes, it's me. Arcade Fire is my favourite band and I am transgender. I will see them in 2 weeks and I will feel it like the character in the video. I think I'm gonna cry, there's people who understand me.
this is beautiful. i hope u enjoy it, do it for me! i dream of seeing them live...
*****
Citations for those claims? Because the APA, AMA, and about forty years of peer-reviewed scientific research say you're wrong Hell, there's more research out there claiming it's an endocrine disorder than what you claim it to be. :\
So yeah. Sources?
*****
Well, you're free to believe your pseudo-scientific idea, that's your opinion. Sadly, it just doesn't align with the fact that there's no current trend in research that supports that little idea of yours. But hey, why not get a grant for a research study and perform it yourself if you know so much about it? Surely it'll pass review boards and get published.
Okay, well, you can enjoy your grade 8-level scientific approach to this. Meanwhile, rational, scientifically-minded folk will ignore conspiracies and superstition that you seem so hung up on (seriously, your lack of focus on scientific rigor makes me wonder if you're anti-vaccine, as I see many frame that issue in a similar way that you framed this), and will instead focus on understanding how/why people are trans, what treatments are significantly effective in alleviating or reducing symptoms, etc.
I mean, yeah, feel free to your opinion. Everyone is entitled to opinions. But if you want people to take your ideology seriously, you should probably be able to back it up, otherwise you'll sound like my roommate's aunt who has a tendency to scour WebMD and 'diagnose' her friends and family with illnesses they don't actually have. They don't take her seriously anymore.
***** I'm a medicine student and I would never EVER treat a transgender as someone with a disease. Actually, if you dedicate some time studing this subject, I'm sure you'll perceive that it's likely that transgender won't be interpreted by science as a disorder in the near future. :)
Andrew Garfield is such a good actor it’s outstanding.
IT'S BACK YES. as much criticism as this video receives now, at the time it was revolutionary and I think Andrew did a wonderful job with his portrayal despite not actually being trans. Regardless of that, this video is still so incredibly fun to watch by the second half with all that impossibly expressive choreography and cinematography. No matter what this video and song will be remembered as a landmark for so many individuals.
Agreed
Temon...arcade fire por siempre!!!
I love being transgender. I've been through absolute hell, but I'm still here. I made it. The baggage that came along with it channeled an intrinsic strength I didn't know I possessed. I went from suicidal and depressed to appreciating the colors painted across the sky as the sun lays itself to rest; transitioning saved my life and broke the shackles that had been weighing me down. I'm finally free.
Your testimony just cheered me up. I'm still on the far side of the story, before transition, before even fully coming out of the closet, and I often feel that there is no hope, no light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you.
Leslie Johnson, there definitely is hope. I did face rejection from family and have faced discrimination within society. I was homeless and living in my car for a year and a half. It is not easy by any means, but it will make you stronger.
I'm now on my feet with a decent enough job and no longer homeless. My family has finally come around seeing how happy transition has made me. It took awhile to prove to them I was born to identify as male--but they understand now. I'm also going to school full time. I wouldn't change my decision to transition because, while I have faced immense hardships, I have forged amazing friendships and have found acceptance with new friends.
Here's to hoping you are able to take the next step. I will offer whatever advice I can, especially with coming out to family members. Am I to assume you are MTF? Feel free to e-mail at westy3028@gmail.com if you do not wish to relay personal information over the comments section. Look forward to hearing from you.
awesome dude, you know im so happy for people who say who they really are, you are my idol and im happy for your decision
Franco Payan, your words do carry a massive amount of weight, even if they are said over the internet. Thank you for the support--it is truly appreciated, and I'm grateful for all of my allies.
*****, not sure why your comment was marked as spam and deleted, but I restored it. My apologies. Good advice on finding a local support group--that certainly helps!
I'm not transgender or even gay...i'm straight but this video was very powerful. I got goosebumps at the end. So good. Thanks arcade fire.
Because those are totally the same thing...
Schwinn D. I didn't mean it in the way you though I meant it. I wasn't even comparing gay and transgender!
Schwinn D. I think (and hope) that what he meant is that he's not part of a minority
José Abel Salazar Lizárraga The person featured in this video isn't "a man dressed as a woman". She's a trans woman. To call her a man is to devalue her gender identity. While the trans woman in the video is fictional, misgendering her sends a message that trans people are likewise wrong about their gender identity. It's my hope that you're weren't intending to be hateful or hurtful, but instead didn't know the proper terminology to use.
Panda Pounce this kind of thinking is so much nonsense and removes any meaning from the word "gender".
If i dress like a dog, and like to think of myself as a dog, that no more makes me a dog than if I dress like a woman and think of myself as a woman.
People are free to do as they please, but they are not being devalued because they come up against reality and find other people aren't eager to play fantasy with them.
The fact that there is contemporary thinking which feels supportive of these fantasies doesn't make them true. History has demonstrated all kinds of fads. a lot of people in the sixties thought they were changing the world fundamentally by smoking marijuana and listening to pop music. Some people still firmly believe that. It doesn't actually make it true. Lots of people don't believe in climate change, that doesn't make it not true.
Dressing up as a woman and saying "I am a woman" says things about how you think and feel, but it doesn't make you a woman; unfortunately, in cold reality you remain a man, no matter how much you wish and pray.
I feel tired of today's world where there is so much wishful nonsense and a willful zeitgeist to disperse with reality in favour of fancies. It's like some weird Taming of the Shrew world, except we are all expected to go along with it and validate delusion simply because academia got run over my the endless whining cacophony of identity politics warriors.
As a straight person...this also means alot to me . Not a bad way or condescending way , but it encapsulates the struggles of paving the way to being the person I am born as , and being ok with it , despite what people think , not seeking THEIR approval , but my own . The music , most importantly brings up so many emotions and memories. Beautiful song , a masterpiece
Still relevant to this day in our society, we exist yet we hardly survive.
This message is simple : No matter who you are, what you do, you exist! Hence the title "We Exist"
I agree!!!
I absolutely love this video.
"Down on their knees, beggin' us please, prayin' that we don't exist" is oddly empowering for me
Finally this iconic video is back .Stop taking shit down RUclips or whoever !!!!
this song touches me so much. i am bisexual, part of the lgbtqa+ community. Although this video is not specific to me it makes me proud. It amazes me how many people tell me i'm not real, i don't know myself but we're here. We are all different and we are all proud.
Umm Everyone is bisexual. And yes what we do in life is a choice. And yes, the lifestyle is a sin under The Most High God, which you can easily find by studying the Lbgtq agenda & the illuminati/nwo (they are all trans & gay). Wake up ppl. Satanism is gay.
Conscious Love I’m not bisexual hon
...and we exist.
@@lovereadingsnyc Matthew 7:1-3 remember?
I'm totally straight ...born deformed ....love it ✝️🍀💚
Here's the deal, plain and simple. If you infringe on one another's happiness and right to exist with no provocation or valid reason other than personal prejudice, you are a bad person. And you should probably consider changing your ways.
I can't really relate to trans-issues superficially, but this video was a prime example of human emotion that spans all demographics. Which I can definitely relate to.Plus, Andrew Garfield is a fantastic actor. Haha
lolololol objecting to men having sex with young boys is 'bigotted'?
Weatherva Well, that would be a valid reason to intervene would it not? If you notice, I mentioned that in my original post. I don't think you quite understand what I mean.
This song gives an indescribable feeling. It feels like a mixture of pride, beauty, joy, but it also gives me a feeling of shame that lingers in the back of my head
Can't get enough of this. Stunning video and the song is such a vibe
This is so relevant after the Orlando mass shooting.
I wish everybody on Earth would just understand.
We should only treat each other with love.
This is a powerful message marred with hateful comments but it just shows as far as we've come the journey ahead is a long one. Thank you Arcade Fire and Andrew Garfield for doing this video.
He's still a babe no matter WHAT his orientation is
agreed as a transwoman I feel this is dead on to how I feel for sure so powerful and its awesome that andrew had the guts to do this video with class and realness to it and not make it comical or a joke. yes its good to laugh but this is a serious song with a message. I am so glad arcade fire wrote this song and did this video and is being very respectful to the trans community and using it the right way and not making a bad stereotype. :) So awesome!!!
I want to see you on All Stars 2!
Completely Agree
Megan Rice Sexual orientation and gender identity are two totally different things, and are not interchangeable. But I get what you meant.
Andrew garfield es simplemente MARAVILLOSO 👏 este hombre es magia pura , lo amo 💕 💖 💜 ❤️
I always cry when I watch this video
I'm seriously getting tired of comments on youtube. Wherever I look, hate and more hate. People seem to lose their humanity on the internet, as if their words are not aimed at real people. In real life most of them would never say these things, which it still terrifies me, cause they're still thinking it. I refuse to believe we're a species led by ignorant hate.
we're*
cannibalnomad Thanks!
I hear you. I need to quit youtube for a while I think.
I know what you mean, though for me, it's not just RUclips. Nowadays I tend to avoid _any_ comment section, whether it's for a news article, a music video, or even a discussion for a game. Because in nearly every single place that allows comments, people use it to vent their rage and hatred towards anything and everything...as well as anyone.
It gets so tiring avoiding it, and when I do happen to read horrid comments it gets tiring trying to repeatedly tell myself that "no, not _everyone_ is like that...only some of them" when I'm staring at a comment like "This shit makes me puke" in regards to gender identity disorder. There's only so much of that I can take.
I should probably just quit the internet for a while.
EDIT:
Actually, I just found an addon/extension that disables comments on every site. Much better solution!
Hate comments are only accepted on justin beiber comment section
Wow. No wonder why this video was nominated. Amazing
This always gives me goosebumps. Such a piece of art, all of it!
Brilliant! Andrew is awesome
I love when the 4 individuals dancers are cast as "masculine men" with facial hair and plaid shirts. This juxtaposition with the high heels, the way the shirts are worn and the characteristics of their dance moves brings up a powerful visual question for me.
"What does it mean to be a man".
To me being a man is a values statement of "I will stand up for those who cannot protect themselves". Something a man would do is own up to their mistakes, and be strong of will & character. In this video the attackers in the bar are male but not men. They are male cowards with so much insecurity they lose their will & character and exercise their physical strength unjustly on someone who cannot physically protect themselves.
For this reason I especially like the casting choice of Andrew Garfield. The Spiderman statement "with great power comes great responsibility". The attackers in the bar have physical power but no responsibility. The attackers may consider themselves men based on their physical strength, and ability to attack someone weaker. Ironically, the dancers are likely just as strong if not stronger than these attackers while not sacrificing their will or character.
I also like this casting choice, because it is both well done, and demonstrates multilateral support for the LGBT community.
+Vincent Schutt This deserve to be the top comment. Well said.
thanks that's nice of you. :)
+Vincent Schutt Good comment. Absolutely worth reading. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
***** thank you Miss Adeo that was very nice of you. I found the video very moving, one of the best videos i've seen. It means a lot to me.
amazing
I guess this is how Spider man spends his free-time
Saving the real world. God love him.
great band, great song!
Andrew Garfield plays vulnerability as well as anyone I have ever seen without being pathetic, he is a brilliant actor
That boy there fills me will pride... plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing
I know some trans people don't like this video but this just means everything to me and encapsulates so much about being trans to me. From the frustration of trying to pass to the horrible sinking feeling of watching a couple dancing together, knowing you're so undesirable as a trans person it's just so. Oh man...
Trying to pass is excruciating, not having a feeling of being one within themselves but having a duality fight within! The horror of waking up everyday to someone they see in the mirror they incredibly don't love, have self loathing for, a feeling of being trapped between a here and there and self hatred..heartbreaking..
There is something that I read once, a quote by Andy Warhol. I know it sounds simple, and not exactly mind-boggling philosophy, but I like it. Anyhow, here it is............. “Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That's one of my favorite things to say. So what.” ----Andy WarholYou are trans? So what. At least you aren't boring. You are unique. Fighting that duality? Why fight it, let your duality be a strength. It gives you a unique perspective most people don't have. Don't pass as a 100% genetic female? So what. Look your best, be your best, act your best, and then you are the best you can be..........and that is all anyone can do. We can't ever really be responsible for how someone else may feel about us. We are, however, completely responsible for how we feel about ourselves. I know, sometimes easier said than done, but true self-acceptance is work, and that goes for a lot of people...trans or not. Another quote I like is "You are what you think about all day." If I think about all that I am not, all that I can't have, and about all the people that hate me, that is what I will be. Instead, I will choose to think of myself as unique, that I count, that I have something to offer the world, that I can't help but be myself and there is nothing wrong with being myself, that for whatever reason my life will be a bit tougher because I am trans, but it is that struggle that will offer me unique perspectives, develop my empathy and compassion for things and people, and help me to become a stronger and more evolved person. Sorry for the ranting and raving, guess I am in a wordy-kind-of mood. ;-)
I think trans people are so brave. Everybody judge, but too few are strong enough to live their lives as they think it should be.
You are admirable, stay strong :)

I have, with doctors and psychiatrists, and the treatment is to transition, you know, be trans. Why its called transgender. Get with the program.
Trans peeps definitly are attractive :)
this hits so much harder now that I've been out for over a year. During the fight when she falls to the ground and shes kicked in the face, I swear my heart stops for her. I can't help but cry.
SHE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL
Beautiful!
7. Hello There! I’m Angie and my dream is to be a singer, I have some covers of me singing on my channel can you please check it out? I know is a lot to ask but please help me, I’ll be grateful to you.
***** Wtf is your problem man?
***** Okay have a good day bro.
***** fuck you.
This is beautiful. This is so heartfelt. I'm so happy they based the video on this, I wish it was popular so more people knew about it ♡ Beautiful.
Andrew really gives his all in this vid...bravo to him.
This is actually my favourite music video.
Depression post-Gwen.
jajajajajja XD
can u guys just stop debating for 2 sec and appreciate andrew's spectacular acting like wow
Por esta actuación Andrew debería estar nominado a los Oscars
Is it normal this song/video always makes me cry like a lot!!??
Yeah , me too, of desperation
Wooo am I the only one who came here to see a music video by one of my favorite band, just to discover one of my favorite actor dress up like a woman and dance? That was quite a surprise omg
i'm still speechless when watching this video again.
i love andrew garfield even more now
Meee 2
I didn't even realize it was him!
best role!
+paradoxal mess I Hate Andrew For This...
@@ldragoguardian1 stay pressed then lol
I love Andrew so much!!when you are an actor you are not afraid of taking risks..he is just great
Andrew "Always Happy" Garfield :) looks too happy in the video, but proud that he doesn't care what people think and can adapt as an actor to any role and own it with his own spin. Great song also as the song plays the story of the video as nowadays there isn't a lot of that to promote the visual art.
Reminder: transphobia isn't cute. Take your hate elsewhere.
waltereg0 Actually no. It's just fucking stupid. It's having hatred towards people who don't like the private parts they're born with. Why should anyone give a damn? It's none of your business.
Gudda Bo'Slice you do realize you just proved yourself wrong. What they do is none of YOUR business.
jbluv222 ....actually, it is humanity's business when people are transphobic and hateful. it's toxic and it's violence, even when it's not physical. should we not concern ourselves with those who perpetrate hate crimes upon innocent people? should we do nothing about murders, or rape, or vicious bullying? should we not attack the hateful beliefs underlying many of these actions? oh wait, it's none of our business, right? clearly we shouldn't pay attention to anything that happens to anyone else, ever!
tiffany aching I agree hatefulness is harmful, more than that we need to learn not to give a fuck about things that we don't like, being hateful towards someone you don't like is childish.
tiffany aching Transphobia is NOT hatred. Everyone agrees that hatred is wrong and obviously violence is wrong. But Transphobia only means not recognizing a trans person as authentically the gender they prefer to identify as. "Transphobia" means you see a Trans as a person who deserves empathy because they are suffering from Gender Dysphoria, and coping with its inherent psychological problems.The opposite of transphobic means that you agree that a person's sex is whatever they say it is.
This is art.
omg, ANDREW😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍. He played this part perfectly, awesome, he is absolutely my favourite actor, the best🙌
This video speaks to me. My mom had a cousin who was homosexual and he was looked down upon by his own father. All he wanted in his life was for everyone to have a good time and for gays to have equal rights. My mom also has a friend who is a lesbian and is getting married this fall. Me and my family and friends are all for gay pride and I strive to let people know that gays exist too, and they are people.
***** it represents everyone who is lgbtqia, not just transgender
what makes you think that he is transgender? he's probably transsexual, but not transgender.
By saying that only trans people should play trans roles, doesn't that imply that only cis people should play cis roles? That only straight people should play straight roles? Saying that is kind of oppressing yourself. I don't think that the actor's personal life should matter at all here. I find this video amazing- the actor is only supporting the LGBTQA+ community!
Isn't that kind of the entire point of the job behind it though, acting? To play a type of person who is different than yourself? And no, this shouldn't extend to white actors using blackface but that is because of the history of that association, the real oppression that doing that used to indicate. But a cis person playing a trans person doesn't have that type of association.
Listen, no one is saying straight people playing trans roles should be illegal, They just want trans people to have more representation because transgendered actors are very rare in case you couldn't tell. The message is meaningless if you wont even help the ones the message is for.
that's completely different, cis actors and actresses have all of the recognition in the world. by having trans people play trans roles, it would be a lot more representative and will give the community more recognition.
@@Jason-bj3lk this is absolutely right. But for getting attention to a minority, majority should see the issue. So, when someone irrespective of gender or Sexual orientation would do it effectively, would bring attention. That's what matters...
I think the scenario would change and people of any spectrum would get recognition.
As a trans person this kinda means a lot to me
Dirty Harry why?
JebaJebaJemeh This is coming from a cis person but I have a lot of friends who arent cis. But I feel like it is first off really helpful to see support like this from a band that has been in the spotlight before. second They handled it with class and I feel andrew did a great job at acting and showing the small emotions that one would be showing.
Clayton Goldhawk no I get all that, hence why I was talking to +Dirty Harry
JebaJebaJemeh oh right sorry lol I
KKOPPI Temp Then what are you doing listen this song??
A 9 year old song is needed now in todays hate filled climate. What is old is new again.
🙄🙄There is no hate filled climate. there is child abuse and mutilation form which you can never recover. That is what people with brains are against
What an amazing video! We love it so much we've made it the Vevo UK MUST SEE! :-)
Pretty rare to find this since it's your " only " comment.
that was some awesome cinematography right there.
I first heard this song about a week after this video came out when I was 17 and still mostly in the closet about my sexuality. I've grown so much since then but this has remained my queer anthem and I tear up everytime I watch this video. Arcade Fire, Andrew Garfield and all the ither dancers in his video smashed it and I thank them for making me feel so seen ❤️
🌈Yes!!🌈
Get help
You need help and self acceptance of who you are . Not what you think you ought to be
I have been, it's been super helpful and helped me discover my identity, unlike a 50 year old neckbeard who lives in his mother's basement hating on minorities.@@Weenybean.
Now I'm truly obsessed with Andrew ❤️
He dances better than me ;/
wow, why is there so much hate in the comments...i really have no faith in humanity nowadays
It's not the world, it's youtube comment section.
The ratio of rational people to trolls are very far off from real world scenarios.
AyyItsTaco go fuck you
My God. I'm bawling at this. BRAVO Arcade Fire! Still gets me.
Ryan Heffington's choreography is flawless and powerfully expressed in this video. 👏👏👏👏👏👏BRAVO
This music video genuinely makes me tear up every time. It is done so fantastically and the emotional punch of the topic is just so powerful. Acceptance and kindness should not be the exception, it should be the norm.
My respect for Andrew Garfeild in at an all time high right now
Been listening to Reflektor for years. One of my favourite tracks on it. Can't believe I've only just come across the music video clip for it.
I don't know why, I'm a Saudi woman and with the current changes in Saudi, I somehow relate to this song. I just went to check cars with my sister and I was singing it in my head. (since Saudi finally allowed women driving)
WE EXIST.
I love it :D
You love it even knowing that it is not normal?
Mike Valley Reasons why I love it:
1. The Song is great
2. Andrew Garfield is awesome!
3. The video has an important message
4. It's pissing a lot of ignorant people off(love that)
Go watch another video if this offends you. Nobody wants you guys here.
Francisco Garcia I love every reason you list above. :)
I have nothing but respect for Andrew after watching the video
I see so much emotion in this... how could I *not* feel for this kid
I did not expect to cry at the end.
One of my favorite bands and the actor i have a crush on made a video together.... about homophobia, I'm in tears
You'd think majority of people in the comments section would be mature and nice about this video.. Instead it's shockingly disgusting. It is 2014, right? It can't be, I feel like I've gone back in time..
The internet is were people say stupid shit they would never say to anyone in real life I hope most of them are just trolls
And you, Darkhearted84! We haven't even advanced enough in society, obviously.. With the comments on this video, that's evident. I'm the only one here with logic, you sound ridiculous
Dude, I do not need to sit here and explain to you basic things. There is science behind why this happens and how. GO LOOK IT UP AND READ WITH AN OPEN MIND. I'm not the one that's been brainwashed. I have an open mind, that's exactly how I came to understand this non-issue! You cannot sit here and argue when you are so biased, and have little knowledge about this.. Darkhearted84
Rhani Lila-mae What science are you suggesting? The one where a famous Johns Hopkins doctor (with a fetish for weird sex) took a baby boy (with twin brother) with a blotched circumcision and tried to raise it as a girl by mutilating it and forcing him simulate to sex with his brother (while photographing it). Only to have both boys kill themselves after rejecting the pseudo science. Google: David Reimer Nurtured to death John Money.... better yet, read David Reimer's book about the torture he was forced to endure.
Darkhearted84 I feel like things like this shouldn't even need to be explained, but it's clear some people are so egocentric that some education needs to be in order.
If the vision of someone who identifies as a man putting on clothes which have been been determined by society to be feminine disgusts you, sit up and ask yourself this: Who the hell are you to say what others can and cannot do? Do you really believe you are experienced enough to determine what is right and wrong in a world which is changing constantly?
I don't expect you to be able to answer these questions in a logical manner, but hey.
What is wrong with males (because lets get something right, sex and gender are not the same thing) altering a part of their own body because they want to? Their body, their choice. When females decide to get a breast augmentation we're not exactly flooded with negative comments from cis men, and yes I'm going to generalise,about how they're "deluded" or "brainwashed" to change their bodies.
This is what gets me, your stupid double standards.
On a last note, if our generation is the one being "brainwashed" then be it so. I would rather be brainwashed into believing in the equality and acceptance of all human beings than live by your angry, sadistic standards.
This video makes me feel safe, and I'm happy for it,
my dads really fkn transphobic and listens to this all the time ... i dont think he knows what its about lmao....
show him the video
your dad just doesnt know he is trans
lol I bet he thinks its just generally about people who r oppressed but he's one of those people who isnt oppressed but wants to be oppressed bc he's jealous
lulz
@@warnfuck You're comment makes no fucking sense. Not all transphobia is internalized and It's pretty easy to listen to a song and really like it without paying attention to the lyrics.
Such a powerful song, message. Love these guys. Live and let live. #Respect
I am going to say it Andrew looks kind of cute as a girl
he's roleplaying or cosplaying as Gwen Stacy lol
And he moves his ass like nobody else.
chxvx He`s got moves like Jagger (question is: Mick or Bianca?)
I didn't even notice it was Andrew Garfield until that comment
thehawkingfanatic I found out though watchmojo celebrity in music videos
ANDREW...He is LEGEND for always.😌💕
Pride month. ❣️🌈
