Fun fact: The lead in this video, Dali Benssalah is appearing in No Time To Die.
yeah i'm so proud of him because i'm Algerian and since he is too, and managed to make it to such great lengths with his talents!
For the roof scene Dali deserves the Oscar.
Honestly, The Blaze is art in itself. Fell in love straight away. All their videos move me beyond words. Their music is just, happy. Happy sad.
Since everyone has their own interpretation, here’s mine.
This song is about grief, family, friends, and what is your territory.
Seeing the sadness in the lead actor’s eyes makes me think he moved somewhere else a long time ago and maybe a death in the family made him come back.
He’s happy to see his family as much as he is sad to have lost one of its members.
We can see how different he is from his family but also the curiosity they have for him.
All of them are happy to see him again.
He may be sad but in the end when he’s dancing on a rooftop it feels like he’s finally getting all that sadness out.
He’s reconnecting with his roots while still being himself.
I lost the woman who raised me and a little brother a couple of years ago. Each time I see this video it reminds me of them.
They were what made my territory.
This masterpiece filmed in Algeria and i think its really represent the phenomenon of illegal immegranc to Europe, thousands of Algerian youth are going across the sea looking for happiness and real life.
Am afraid only Algerians will understand the meaning of this videos soo touching 😢

@@lemoncheeseface9912 all north africa they living the same life brother 🇩🇿❤🇲🇦
I consider this to be the best music video ever made.
oh man, i stumbled across it last week. its fucking phenomenal. to anyone that relates to it, in the double lives you may live.. this film lets you reconnect with yourself
Maxim, funny you say this. When I first watched the video clip I felt so strongly represented by the men in this and yet I’ve lived in aus my whole life. Double lives may be real
My friend put this Masterpiece when I was really high and I did not payed attention at the beginning, but the moment when he starts pouring out emotions during the dance on the roof top I went in another dimension of emotions, of course its impossible to describe with words, but just to try, I was the emotion ! Thank you THE BLAZE for this stunning music I would say The best music video ever ! at least for me music is not the same after Territory.
P.S. you are cool for making this video also, just clicked wanted to see what was other peoples reactions on this Masterpiece !
Where is that frekin' lead! He's so good; every emotion was clearly portrayed with viseral realism, so crazy.
The lead actor is so good and that first scene was so convincing simply because they were his real family and they captured their real emotions at that moment 'cause the actor is algerian and he hasn't been to algeria for a long time
Source please? Cause I have watched the interview of one of the photographers on set while they recorded the clip and he spoke about a lot of things but at no point he mentioned that. But fun (not so fun) fact: The woman who plays the mother haven't seen her son in 15 years because he immigrated illegally to Europe, which made the entire play more realistic especially emotionally. But other then that I haven't heard that it was Dali's family.
@@inana1480 it's not
When I first saw territory on RUclips had like 1000 views and it was love at the first sight I knew I was a perfect composition both musical and cinematography.
North Africa.. Love you all
supporting your work because someone had to do this
I really appreciate your support. Thank you!
I don't care about the band or music. The director's work, Dali Benssalah's amazing presence, and Algier's atmosphere and its people, their traditions, the emotion they keep hidden and they can't handle anymore, the separation and its consequences, all this made it magic.
The band direct their videos.
@@Lukerofl No shit.
lmao u are so radical in your way of speaking. It says so much about you as a person.
they're a whole machine made of gears, all of them, collectively did this.
Having already seen the video, I felt compelled to hear the critics' opinion. Who knows, I might even find someone worth following.
After witnessing your masterful editing and flawless critique, I hit the red button so hard I punched a hole in my keyboard.
Congrats, you owe me thirty bucks.
I love this song ! 🇲🇽 México
Thanks for bringing awareness in such a clear way to one of the most beautiful expressions of art I've ever seen.
"When we went to shoot the part where [actor] Dali Benssalah hugs his mother, the mother hadn’t seen her boy for ten years. When we did the scene, she was really crying, because her story was the same. It’s what happened to her". The Blaze
Man your description is jaw droppingly beautiful. You're the best
i heard this song and the video and i was hooked to this for alost 3 consecutive months
*This song is like when you feel comfortable in your place,where everyone around have a nice relationship with you and really trust you, like a family.*
*More like when you can do everything you want to do, As the song name says "TERRITORY".*
*A place that is your TERRITORY since years ago.*
*Sorry for my english its bad hope you understand*
I watched it on 2CB and it is a unforgettable Moment i Never want to lose in my memory
Thanks for making this video! It really expresses my appreciation for the video in a way i cant express
brilliant music thanks for this video
Dude I am LOVING your channel, wow. So many little synchronicities in my little world rn haha, just wanted to give you some love and gratitude🙏 I’m hoping to start my own channel soon, and I really wanna talk to you! until then, I’ll be devouring all your videos and continuing my recent delve into Chesterton. I literally about to start Orthodoxy after reading The Everlasting Man when I found this channel🤯 The Spirit is moving through the world in mysterious ways rn brother I can feel it❤️
this video wakes up the same emotions I had while watching Mr. Robot by Sam Esmail. It is just something different and difficult to describe. Masterpieces.
Thinking about this now, makes me connect the connection of both the guys being atheist in the role
hey man i just wanna say thank you for this song. one of the best song i've ever heard wow !!!
Thank you for the kind comment! Yes, it is a wonderful song :)
Someone said that the video is about an emigrant returning to his home. His territory, where he is free to do whatever he likes without being judged.
It's a bit superficial still. You feel all of this a lot when you migrate and return to your home, but even more if your home is the home of your family for a LONG TIME. There is almost a genetic trace where you really feel home (i.e. italian descendents that return to their village in Italy and just feel at home). You really almost go mad with all the energy, for lack of a better word.
YOU HAVE VIDEOS OF EVERYTHING I FUCKING LOVE! AND GOSH, U SHARE MANY POINTS OF VIEW I AGREE WITH. I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS STEREOTYPED CONNECTION EVERYBODY IS “SUPPOSED” TO FEEL ON INTERNET
Thanks for watching! And I'm so glad you like the videos I'm making! :D
Brilliant!
yess
What I love about The Blaze videos is that they show another face of the coin. We don't have our usual protagonists, we see real people experiencing real emotion. Their work is inspiring.
Completamente de acuerdo contigo Dylangous.
i love this video
Masterpiece indeed, song and video
the visuals are synchronised to the music not the other way dude, he fights to the music. great video tho! ;)
Hahahahahaha dude he is fights on the rythm of the music numbnuts
yay
It was shot in Algiers, Algeria
Es una obra de arte.
Nicely articulated.
Thank you!
Esta canción es perfección pura 🤩
It’s back!
Dali ♥️
Bravo!
The only music video that can beat this is Sirotkin-Vyshe domov music video, director of which was inspired by “Territory”
You forgot to mention the lyrics and how they contrast with the video. Epic video indeed.
Wow I never felt this, I thought it is connected with the video.. it feels to me like that..
great job man... great job.
Great video man!
You are a genious
muy bueno!!
excellent
If you've ever spent time away from a distant home, and you're queer, you'll know what this means. Feeling a part of something but separate, feeling the joy of coming home but not able to be, feeling the need to be, but knowing you can't
Where this video was filmed? OMG! I just fucking love it 😍
Algeria 🇩🇿
That was in Algeria 🇩🇿 ❤
I tought it will be Territory by Sepultura
Loved it :) Keep up!
Suddenly arabe people bocame interesting and not treated as terrorists, we are living in a cold world... I feel sorry for my brothers that are being killed in china, take a look at that if you have enough courage and talk about it
What he said
I think this video is about someone getting deported back to their home country. Initially, he is well-received, he missed his family and home after all after weathering the difficulty and succumbing to the failure of assimilation - maybe he even resorted to crime. Now a big fish in a small pound, he must synthesize who he was with who he has now become.
I think you're spot on. He now finds himself in old but familiar territory, but he is no longer the same person.
@@dylangous thanks for the response, i've given this video lots of thought since i have experienced similar situations when going back to my parents home country. he was "the other" in france, and he is again "the other" in algeria.
Let all agree that main actor of the video is Algerian joker 😍
