same, it's impressive how accurate it is. Today I dreamed about her and we talked again and laughed at those stupid jokes we used to... I felt her hug and felt genuinely happy after a reeeally long time... It felt so real... I was really shocked when I woke up so I started crying my eyes out it was not the first time I had this type of dream but it was the one that hurts me the most
this is real,, i am currently in a very tough situation with my loved one.. I dream about her texting me in the morning after i woke up,, and having a deep conversation together by the time i really woke up in the real world,, there was no text from her... and I just felt empty..
@@Ocean_Lord_derpfish I experienced the same 2 weeks ago. She was there with me and hugged me in a way only she knows. It was a super realistic dream, unfortunately... I saw her, heard her, felt her touch and even smelled her fragrance... I thought it was real life because it was so goddamn similar... but it wasn't
I feel like the imagery in the video shows that the world’s still spinning after a breakup, life goes on. It also displays lots of emotion that also reflects on the song itself. Beautiful piece.
Lyrics [Verse 1] Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turning off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all unread Couple feelings that were laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you, get closer [Pre-Chorus] Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (Another skin) [Chorus] I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you [Verse 2] I hope you'rе getting everything you needеd Found the puzzle piece and feel completed Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that I couldn't see the forest from the trees Only time we speak is in my dreams [Pre-Chorus] Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (Another skin) [Chorus] I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you
i feel that so much. i just got heart broke last night and i just been like... damn why can't things just go right for once... feel like nobody ever cares about me :(
I have this girl that i like, i met her on ometv, but we cant meet in person cause shes too far..shes from japan and im from philippines its like love at first sight we talk for hours and then i added her on fb we talk for like a month she made me feel inlove and happy again she brings joy to me, shes always there for me whenever i feel sad, depressed and stress, i almost take my life but she saved me..she colors my world when it feels like black n white, shes always there for me and i promised her to wait for me cause ill work hard and study japanese so i could meet her but after sometimes she starts to not care anymore not asking if i was okay, it feels like she never knew me, it feels like shes not the same person anymore.. turns out shes talking to another man..when i found that out it feels like i sink in the deepest, darkest ocean..to the point where i dont know what love is anymore, whenever i heard this song i cant help it but to cry again and again thinking about the happy and memorable times we had..i realize to not love someone so much that you stop thinking about yourself anymore...now im happy with my single life right now and im happy for her cause she found a man that would take care of her and theyre getting married so im happy for her cause i see her smiling so wide that i dont see when shes talking to me.. i dont blame her..i blame myself
Damn your writing books out here this competes with the dictionary lmao I feel you man sorry things didn’t work out but I do see we why she chose him over you why would she choose a guy on her phone over a guy she can cuddle and spend time with BUT don’t beat yourself up over this I’ve learnt that the saying there is plenty of fish in the sea is true and there is someone for you but don’t wait to tell them how you feel do it before it’s to late
i'm so glad that you learned from it and your moving on and instead of being jealous or staying miserable for the rest of time you finally have accepted your fate. very impressive!
"only time we speak is in my dreams" Almost two years and she still visits my dreams...i hate it. I fill up my days and try to forget. It just seems so fucking unfair that a part of me can't let go no matter how much I try. The best and worst times is waking up..
Ever since Joji started doing tracks like Like You Do, have you noticed he's been doing so many more piano compositions? Glimpse Of Us, Yukon (Interlude), Die For You, and they all turn out so beautiful. He's truly found a working formula and I love the direction George's music is going in, I hope we keep getting more like this.
[Verse 1] Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turning off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all on read A couple feelings that were laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you, get closer [Chorus] Burning photos, had to learn to let go I used to weep Somebody in another skin (Another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you [Verse 2] I hope you're getting everything you needed Found the puzzle piece and feel completed Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that I couldn't see the forest from the trees The only time we speak is in my dreams [Chorus] Burning photos, had to learn to let go I used to weep Somebody in another skin (Another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you
@@ale-zm4qp i think that ballads 1 has so many mediocre songs, like why am i still in LA and ill see you in 40. When you think about nectar or smithereens, the only mediocre song i can think of is nitrous. Of course this is just my opinion
@@heathermurray479 joji is so good at evoking a sense of bitter sweetness from the agony of separation. These songs make me feel so sad, but in a good way. We got spoiled with the timing of this album lol.
Lyrics: Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turning off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all on red Couple feelings that were laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you, get closer Burning photos, had to learn to let go, whoa I used to be Somebody in another skin (another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you I hope you're getting everything you needed Find the puzzle piece and feel completed Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that Couldn't see the forest from the trees The only time we speak is in my dreams Burning photos, had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you
Can we just talk about how joji is literally traveling through dimensions and time itself? Or someone is and they're using our brains to do it, because all of these things from the new album, glimpse of us video, the die for you video, I've seen these images shown to me and have even been to the alternate reality that was shown in glimpse of us ⛛ ☆¤‰
It’s crazy how this man has been an influence in one way or the other. He was an icon for the earlier times of RU-vid and is now one in the music industry. Same man, same influence, different ways.
[Verse 1] Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turning off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all on read Couple feelings never laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you here closer [Pre-Chorus] Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (Another skin) [Chorus] I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you [Verse 2] I hopе you're getting evеrything you needed Found the puzzle piece and feel completed Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that I couldn't see the forest from the trees Only time we speak is in my dreams
This is so powerful bro i cant even explain it. Its like everytime i get wasted i come back to his ignorant videos and it just brings this type of nostalgia that no one else can bring me. Then i listen to his music and he expresses himself in so many different ways it just really hits the soul bro i would have never expended that me as a 15 year old i would get to follow his artistic career for 10 years in a row this is crazy. Thank you so much man this shit really means something.
Life is weird. You have to be prepared for best/worst things. Both. Wish i knew this earlier. It feels so difficult to forget someone after getting attached. Even though i didn't even receive bare minimum, i still find it difficult to forget those memories. After facing this kinda situation, now i feel scared to talk to new people. I feel like love is not meant for me. I feel like for some reason i don't deserve anyone's love.
This video tells us that life goes on even when you don't want to, it stops for no one and we carry on with the pain in our hearts and memories in our mind.
“You know why people has eye in front? It’s cuz you have to move forward to see the landscape in the distance. If you had eyes in back, all you can see is your hometown getting farther away. You can’t move forward like that. If your eyes are in front, what you see in the distance gets closer. That’s what lets people move forward.”
Die For You Lyrics [Verse 1] Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turning off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all on read Couple feelings never laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you here closer [Pre-Chorus] Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (Another skin) [Chorus] I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you [Verse 2] I hopе you're getting evеrything you needed Found the puzzle piece and feel completed Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that I couldn't see the forest from the trees Only time we speak is in my dreams [Pre-Chorus] Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (Another skin) [Chorus] I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you
I think Joji is the first artist I’ve ever been an actual die-hard fan of. I actually waited up for the release of this album. His artwork never misses.
Die for you, before the day is over and glimpse of us are my faves on the recent album. You never failed to make me remember the guy who broked my fckn heart 😬🫨🥴
This song hurts more when you truly miss someone and have no means of communication with them, but deep down just wish for their happiness. Looking back and just smiling at all the memories
I wish I could go back and apologize… I want to make things right… I think I hurt him. He doesn’t deserve it. I want to apologize and make things clear. I really wish I could gather the courage to talk to him again..
I feel like I've returned to this every month since it's released. The "music video" has always captivated me. Interestingly, there's no classification in the title that says "Music Video" or "Official Video", as if they're nodding to this being a clip compilation of stock footage. Nonetheless, I consider it my favorite music video of all time. It perfectly represents the art of pairing visuals with audio, and of capturing a vibe. This marriage of visual and sonic aesthetic is something I'd strive for as a musician or artist. The footage, in particular. Explosions and flames and harsh weather..... animals minding their own business in the dead of night..... dirt bikers. It's all so, neutral. Or rather, awe-inspiring. The instrumental of the song alone makes me contemplate the vastness and depth of our world, but utilizing footage like this (as if made to depict our world to an alien demographic to better understand our planet) couldn't have been a better move. I've always been curious about the thought process was -- for whoever created this. "Actual Objects" is all that's credited in the description. Would love to know what Joji's Team's prompt was for them. What the instructions were. And what aesthetic vibe THEY think they were trying to capture. All in all, this is a 10/10 work of art. By Joji, the song's other writers and producers, and the visual collaborators. I don't think I'll ever stop returning to this video.
Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
@@willevensen7130 He was saying the changes we go through in life can lead to something you'll regret, but it can also be good. Not what we think of the Jojis changes.
Joji’s vocals are heavenly. It’s apparent to most of us here that this man isn’t only capable of singing and writing songs about pain, heartbreak, and loss. He is an immaculate storyteller with so much to share to the whole world. Amidst all the uncertainties and wars going on in this world, rest assured that Joji will be able to ease our worries and anxieties through the power of his own beloved music.
wow. This song feels like finally letting go of something, but in a way where it’s almost like saying goodbye in the most triumphant manner possible. At the beginning it was bitter sweet, and then the last portion just elevated it to another level of depression I love it.
(Verse 1) Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turning off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growing pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all on read A couple feelings that were laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you, get closer (Chorus) Burning photos, had to learn to let go I used to weep Somebody in another skin (Another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you (Verse 2) I hope you're gеtting everything you needed Found thе puzzle piece and feel completed Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that I couldn't see the forest from the trees The only time we speak is in my dreams (Chorus) Burning photos, had to learn to let go I used to weep Somebody in another skin (Another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you
This hit deep. getting home at 5am after a tiring day and spending the last 2 and a half hours crying because of this song, how can Joji songs resonate with people up to this point? its incredible.
Strangely enough, whenever I listen to this song, it almost feels like I've grown enough to not let the past hurt me anymore. I see this as a song of growth and nurture after going through so much, you finally feel relieved.
For real though. That’s the same thing I felt. Almost like this song is part of the moving on phase of my life. I got depressed starting college and looked back at the good times before everything went to shit. But now it’s time to look forward to a better future
What I love about Joji is that his storytelling skills are just so impeccable, he paints a picture so well and picks out the right vibe for these music videos. His aesthetic is just amazing. Thank you Joji, you're one of those rare artists that are just relatable. ❤️.
I’m a bit lost on the meaning of the video other than Joji simply not wanting to show his face during this era. But I’m guessing it might tie into Glimpse or Us with the man running away, or “Night Rider.”
Lyrics: Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night No point in turnin' off the lights Not the same without your head on my shoulders Growin' pains, but I don't wanna get older Almost like we left it all on read Couple feelings never laid to rest Didn't know that the party was over And it's true that I need you here closer Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you I hope you're getting everything you needed (needed) Found the puzzle piece and feel completed (completed) Just wanted you to know every reason Hope you really know that I mean that I couldn't see The forest from the trees Only time we speak Is in my dreams Burning photos Had to learn to let go I used to be Somebody in another skin (another skin) I heard that you're happy without me And I hope it's true (I hope, I hope it's true) It kills me a little, that's okay 'Cause I'd die for you You know I'd still die for you
Joji is the best example of someone following their true passions. Even then he was so consistently good and famous throughout his career, from DizastaMusic to FilthyFrank to Joji. This man's journey and art is a true inspiration in modern times.
I don't know your language well, but I understand you very well. it’s incredibly hard, especially when almost EVERY line gives an association with a person. Especially when he is really happy and quickly moved on after the breakup, literally in 10 days, he really feels good... literally everything is like in the song
Man I really hope Joji is actually happy and not going through the shit... his ability to make painfully beautiful music is extraordinary. I hope he's okay overall...
We can all feel the pain in his song, sometimes its amazing how a person can make such painful yet incredible song but at the same time we all hope he's okay I LOVE JOJI 🪐🤍
I love this song because it resonates how I always feel. If you ever loved somebody, you would never wanna see them hurt. Just hope they are happy even after the "for real break up" and move on with your own life. Every song by Joji is so relatable.
I really love this music video. It feels like a continuation from a Glimpse Of Us where the boys and the main character found a way for themselves to move on from where they were stagnated in their lives. Although the clips of destruction are also portrayed here I think it's supposed to represent the act of renewal, acceptance, and the spirited determination of walking on forward. I don't think any of them healed a 100%. It may be implied by the lyrics that they still think about their past lovers, but it's also viewed that they learned something about themselves and with their lovers as to why things didn't work out. Whatever reasons it may be it was enough for them to get out of whatever rut they were in to live the life they wanted when they were at their ultimate highs, which was the feelings of being in love, but this time it was a love that is for themselves. They are still doing the motorcycle, car, biking, racing, and exploring endeavors, but this time around it isn't to push something away, but to bring something into their lives. I think there is a clear message here. This thing can go against you or with you and it is a daily conscious decision we have to make. What do we want to breakdown to move along? "What do we want to blow to smithereens?" I think the most wholesome clip is that in the end of the video the MC is walking towards the boys. In the Glimpse Of Us the MC was distant from them. What a nice detail to point out the growth in all of them.
@@loler4447 Yeah! I love watching and speculating about the Joji-verse. He got so many stories. This is kind of reaching, but there is also a scene where there is a dark cloud breaking apart and something seems to fall out of it. Is that supposed to be a call back to the alien pods from Your Man? I wouldn't be surprised. Some of the scenes in here, especially the dusty motorcycle scenes, have a similar style to Test Drive. I'm just having fun with it at this point.
@@coldEBISU i think having fun and creating these kinds of theories is what he kinda wants. it all falls perfectly but you can still make it out how you see fit you know? i think the connections between your man and test drive fit perfectly. or even to the Run music video, bc the setting is a little dusty. saying random shit to see if it makes sense is what its all about!
@@loler4447 He is just that good at telling stories and building a world around them. I wouldn't be surprised if we will see Dr. Wallace's return in another Joji album. It's all just tying in together.
