This video is so weirdly, oddly, awfully amazing. I am someone who has little to no self confidence, and to see someone dance to their own song like no one cares is inspiring. Yes it might be cringe, yes it might not be good dancing, but I wish I had the confidence to do this.
Unapologetically dancing in your room by yourself is one of the best things. Especially if you’re not exactly “good” at dancing I just came back to this song and realized that this is one of the best songs to dance to alone in your room. I have long hair but I barely ever have it down. Dancing, swooshing my hair around, falling on the ground, kicking my legs, stomping, clenching my fists, jumping around. It’s a great feeling.
Found this song on an art site in 2011. He has come a LONG fucking way. and SO HAPPY to see he never gave up on his music. He told me writing this was the lowest he's been.
I'm pretty sure I know the site you're referring to. That was before my time, but it's been really cool finding the traces he left there, and meeting the people (those remaining anyway) who knew him back then. And yeah, this song could only have come from a very low place. It's testament to his artistic ability that it captures the feeling so well. From the depths of that particular art site to playing the late-night TV shows and selling out famous venues, what an incredible progression. I saw them play last night in fact, and it was a damn good show. Most awkward crowd I've ever seen at a rock concert. I only wish they had played Bodys.
Really like the choice to crop his head out of it. It lends to the idea of “dancing like no ones watching”, like how most don’t dance because it’s embarrassing but Will could find solace in dancing in his own style because he has the freedom of a lacking of identity in this video. Ty “twerkingtoiwantwindtoblow” for reminding me this video existed.
hey this is maverick's mom. i apologize for his behavior in this comment section, he started freaking out and screaming, and when i went to his tablet this was on here. i am apologize
i have admired this man's talent ever since i first heard that song, i then got into csh and now i just keep coming back to this video at least once a year, good memories
rewatching this after their performance on fallon, and that drastic improvement of confidence in his quirky, yet so beautiful dancing makes me shed some real tears
I mean think this is some young gay teen finding himself in college, dancing to his own song, but its really brave. He's being himself so intensely in such a way thay isnt super obnoxious, he's just being who he truly is. This song along with this video is the most wonderful statement, the most inspirational thing ive ever seen. And its just some dude dancing. I love it.
This video is going to be a fine clip of history someday A beginning of greatness Cant believe this video been sitting here for the last six years and here I'm now dancing along 🙂
i saw this comment when i was still in high school and i thought i understood this. now in my first semester of college, i realize youre completely right.
I just realized I am now as old as Will was when he recorded this video. I'm in college too. I have never created something as incredible as this. I'll never be as beautiful as he is.
I’d like to chime in by saying that They Might Be Giants, a duo which Toledo himself clearly admires quite a bit, didn’t find any major success in music until they were both about 27 years old! I like to think about that quite a bit when I’m feeling discouraged and thinking about peers of mine who are far more successful than me. Creating something good isn’t a matter of age, so don’t stress yourself out about it too much!! Hope you’re doing well if you get the chance to read this!
this is so lovely. the way he connects with his music is so admiring, a place where he can truly be himself. will toledo you’re a musical genius, and i-, i love you.
I really like this video. It's one of my, if not, my favourite video on this entire platform/site. It's so hopeful despite its gruelling dealings with intense emotions, anxiousness, and desperation, and it's just so good. My parents and friends and sister are annoyed I listen and play it so much, and usually I would at this point, but it's just so good. As with Will Toledo's projects are noted all the time, it's "relatable" - it makes me feel heard in this confusing time and I can say maybe so likewise for many others. I like how it's just him being genuine and true to himself, and especially reminds me of the nostalgia of not having to have a video with "tons of elaboration" put into it (which, don't get me wrong, is magnificent and I love those kinds of videos), it's just that this video sparks an inspiration within me that cannot feat to, idk, Nathan Fielder Dancing in 2008ish? lol (Cannot be compared but it's the only video that reminds me of such at this point). It's so good, I can't even put it into words. That or I just want to become a skinny white gay guy in his bedroom dancing (Iconic). Will Toledo, you screamy brancass, you. You're so epoch.
i was about to make a fake youtube account to confess in a comment that I just cried out of sadness watching this video, and then realized how stupid was that
after spending... 5 years on RUclips, (and I watch a LOT of videos) this is my favorite video. That's saying a lot. I can't even begin to explain how much joy this brought me, and I found it completely by accident.
@@inlimboteque I'm not so sure anymore... I still love it very much (and CHS in general very much), I don't feel as resonant with this video specifically since I don't live in a dorm anymore, but I still appreciate it for being relatable to my recent past. It's still definitely my favorite band and I still love this song. As much as I'd love to narrow down one video as my favorite, there's such a diverse range of videos. I went through a playlist of videos I'd saved as ones I really love, and I found a lot of funny ones, a few surreal and artistic comedies, some really wholesome or comforting videos for whatever reason. So I think it depends on the context and what I'm feeling and needing at any given time. Also thanks for this reminder!
i will be going to college in a few months from now. i dont know how it is going to be but to be completely fair, i'm not even thinking too much about it so there's little premise for it being rewarding or dissappointing to me. i stumbled upon this video again today after a long, long time and having watched it again for the nth time, i feel comforted to be this unsure, anxious yet ambitious self that i am. the future will be great and maybe i too will catch myself dancing to some great music just like this in my college dorm, hopefully very soon!
@@hexagowe3415 I graduated college in a subject i am very passionate about!! moving to a new city soon to live the life I've always dreamed of living. have been working on making my own music whilst simultaneously balancing being the nerd that I am. CSH is still my favourite band.
Like I get this video is kinda funny and stuff but car seat headrest helped me truly discover me and my queer identity and I'm just so happy how far Will has come
if one day you happen to wake up And find yourself in an existential quandary Full of loathing and self-doubt And wracked with the pain and isolation of your pitiful meaningless existence At least you can take a small bit of comfort in knowing that Somewhere out there in this crazy ol' mixed-up universe of ours There's the music video for something soon

I feel the same way. So much that I decided to also do a dance video to this song: ruclips.net/video/6bJXO_qVhdE/видео.html
it’s like how we used to move as a kid. it’s something we should do ever so often because it’s so nice to feel your body move like this!!
