Can't believe Tyler was being serious when he said he almost cut this song out. Josh thank you for your service! This is probably my favorite on the album
@@corysnyder7067 I kind of believe (and hope) that Tyler was joking about not liking Navigating. But even if what he said is true and the song supposedly didn't make it to the album, I think that the lore-based music video would just end up being the mv for another song, cause it's not exactly the lyrics that are lore-rich, it's mainly the mv.
@@corysnyder7067overcompensate, navigating and soon paladin strait, while yes that is only 3 songs I think they contain a lot of lore and from the song paladin strait it seems the video will have a lot of lore. They also released “ I am Clancy” but that is just a summary so I guess that does not count for new lore
Dude it scares me to think about how many good songs we didn’t end up getting because Tyler didn’t like them 😭 BUT THANK YOU JOSH FOR SAVING SOME OF THEM FOR US
I feel like Tyler is super hard on himself when he writes, so thank God Josh is there like "hey, I love this so I know our fans will definitely love this, don't cut it." And Navigating is surprisingly a very well formed lore song for it almost being cut!!!
so basically Josh hasn't been real since the end of the Trench era, and the whole time Tyler's character was held captive by the Bishops or stranded in the wilderness it was a projection of Josh that he created in his head that helped him get through it in one piece i think i'm gonna cry
NO LITERALLY like he's been a figment of tyler's imagination throughout ALL OF SAI which makes a lot of sense when you think about it but that's so so sad
every time i hear more about that aspect of this storyline, i can’t help but remember the forest fic (which absolutely DECIMATED ME at 15 yrs old) IDK MAN BUT IM GONNA CRY
It might be Tyler's least favorite if he wasn't joking lol, but Josh kills it on the drums. I think this will probably be the main hit of album so I definitely think they'll still play it! The fans will riot lol
@@kellyb21PIm kinda with Tyler but I understand why josh would like it. I love the drums and bass but compared to the other bangers I feel it falls behind on lyrics
Yeah his vocals in this album are amazing, but I especially love them in this one and At The Risk Of Feeling Dumb. Is desperate screams are so emotional.
This song is so good I can't believe they teased the ending of Navigating at the beginning of the next semester music video! These guys are so smart! It's so fitting to have that small bit of My Blood play at the end too, so good.
does anyone else feel that Tylers vocals have improved sooo much in this album to the point he sounds completely different from anything we've ever heard from him at certain moments in songs? he just has so much control over his voice, as if he's been really working on it. Even when he did a little snippet of next semester on the uke during the livestream, his voice was silky smooth and blended amazingly into his head voice.
I feel like there was significant jump in his vocal skills between Blurryface and Trench, but also yeah he's definitely doing things with his voice on this album that are different from anything he's done before
To me he is sounding a lot like his old songs from regional at best. Like I dont know what it is that hes doing to his voice but it sounds like regional at best.
tyler better be joking about Navigating not making the tour setlist because I'm not sure what I'm gonna do if they never perform this live. Such an absolute banger, Josh KILLS it on this
im kinda thinking they definitely will ? because the end of this song goes directly into the music video of next semester, so theres like no way they play ANYTHING else and then play next semester after.. like this HAS to be the song they play before next semester.. plus the music video for next semester is literally a concert setting lmao
@@missingdigits8361 they played a show today and next semester played w trees in the encore by itself. no navigating. a bunch of other clancy songs made their debut live today tho. i dunno man i'm scared 😬

From the moment I heard this song I felt really understood and it's been on repeat very often. I haven't seen people in the comments talk about it yet, but as someone with both chronic illness and mental health issues (and ofc ADHD), this song hit really hard. I deal a lot with brain fogs and dissassociating and when in groups or at work it can feel like everybody is present in the moment and I'm just floating somewhere up above, leading to me not being able to take part in conversations. To me, Navigating describes this feeling perfectly.
i cant believe Tyler said he wouldn't have had this on the album if josh didn't have a say in it. its so SO good, like honestly my favorite, I'm so glad they both decided to keep it. thank u josh :D
0:51 - 0:52 tyler is touching his face with his hand and josh touches his face with his drumstick, this makes me think about empathy and the idea of trying to understand someone and be compassionate toward them even when you haven’t experienced what they’re going through, josh sees that tyler is struggling and feels for him, and through this empathy josh is able to become a safe person for tyler and help him “navigate” everything
I love how this track has that early 00’s post-punk revival sound. Bands like the Killers, the Bravery, Interpol, Bloc Party etc but done in a way that only TOP can 🔥
@@Hanumanfilms Dude listening to this song more and more I was like yo this sounds like Honest Mistake!! Glad I'm not the only one, love this song so much
No, because my grandma died last April 23 and the fact that this song came out exactly a month after and Tyler really has the audacity to say “my dad just lost his mom I think that everybody leaves” I really was not prepared for this album to be this deep and personal in so many aspects Thank you Twenty One Pilots for being my support since 2015 ❤️ I love you clique 💌
As a fellow clikkie I love you too!! Also, another awfully strange coincidence, my grandmother (my dad's mom) died this may. I know exactly what you mean. Twenty One Pilots has been my support since at least 2018
@@Jakeito413 stay strong, lost my mom last year I know how hard to live after losing one of your parents, but things will become better after a while, I promise
It was similar for me. The album was released exactly two years after the death of the dog I had since my childhood (even almost at the same hour). I'm glad I still have my parents but a dog becomes part of the family too and that loss has been hard for me 😕
To anybody reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind may clarity replace confusion. may peace and calmness fill your life
CLANCY IS INSANE. But the fact that you decided to continue this as the story ending make us feel we’re not stupid, that there was always something more in these songs. The universe that you created. Sahlo Folina ❤️
This album couldn’t have come out at a better time. Tøp has always saved me but I’m now having to fight harder than I ever have, for my 8 week old daughter and I to have a better life, away from her “dad”. Wish us luck
A stranger across the internet, probably on another side of the world, I wish all the best on your fight. I ll be waiting on your good news, update us one day
A someone with Asperger's Syndrome, this song is so relieving to hear. I've never been able to relate more to lyrics as someone who constantly gets stuck or "navigates" through daily conversations and using social cues and find myself often disassociating...I also just feel like I'm missing so much in life purely because of how much time I spend in my head (Give me some advice, I am wasting all this time) I can't wait to tell my therapist about this song. Thank you.
Similar here too! Been trapped in a dissociative fog for years (especially when stress + overwhelm kicks in) Seem to be stuck in a chronic freeze response and I'm just wasting the best years of my life because I can't function as an adult.
I don't have Asperger's or any sort of autism and this is exactly how my mind works too... And am pretty sure this is how it works for everyone else too. We just pretend it doesn't
He explained that Josh as the torchbearer has the ability to “guide”. So he appears in other versions of himself to guide Clancy where he belongs. And maybe in my blood the brother had the same kind of ability…
The bridge always reminds me of Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Hurt says "everyone I know goes away in the end". Navigating says "kind of feels everybody leaves, feeling the reality that everybody leaves... now I'm trying to hold on to you cause everybody leaves"
I’m leaving this comment so whenever someone likes this comment I get reminded of this masterpiece. I’m SOOOOO glad Tyler didn’t take it off of the album
@@Ayon72 so? It was a sweet think and we can choose to respond or not. You commenting just makes it more popular. Plus I come to RU-vid to also support the artist. Just downloading doesn't create the interaction space.
What makes this song more special is not just hearing MY BLOOD at the end but the similarities between MY BLOOD/NAVIGATING. In My blood, the character realizes there was NEVER a brother his side but HIS imagination to help him carry throughout life. And towards the end of NAVIGATING we see Tyler realize the same that Josh(torch bearer) was bever actually there by his side. In fact in was THE WORLD HE CREATED TO FEEL SOME CONTROL. Tyler does an amazing job illustrating mental illness and anxiety by how he chooses to let these music videos play out. He isnt missing anything and doesnt leave out any details. He is in fact telling a long story. Ever since blurryface.
My, oh my Don't know how long it's been My, oh my I can't seem to turn the page This haze around my face Makes me feel all alone I know you see me standin' still But when our fingers touch, I feel My way back home Pardon my delay I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Disassociate I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Give me some advice I am wasting all this time My, oh my Don't know how long it's been My, oh my How things change so rapidly I find my self-esteem Then turn so cold Pardon my delay I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Disassociate I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Give me some advice I am wasting all this time My, oh my Don't know how long it's been Since I responded to your question If you really want to know what I'm thinking Kind of feels like everybody leaves Feelin' the reality that everybody leaves My dad just lost his mom, I think that everybody leaves Now I'm tryin' to hold on to you 'Cause everybody leaves Pardon my delay I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Disassociate I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Give me some advice I am wasting all this time My, oh my Pardon my delay I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Disassociate I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head Give me some advice (give me some advice) I am wasting all this time (wasting) My, oh my
One interpretation I love is the strength of friendship to bring you through hard times. Tyler is struggling to come up with answers and needs help navigating the terrain of his mind, meanwhile Josh’s silent presence has been a constant force to guide Tyler and lead him to find out who has become on the other side. Tyler was never truly alone and never had been. Even if it feels like a projection, Josh has always been with him in spirit to keep the beat and not lose his footing in his walk. And in the end, Josh gives him the mask to become Clancy and take on his rightful identity.
I'm so glad he didn't cut this song out!! it's my favorite from this album! this album definitely wouldn't be completed without it!!!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH ❤❤❤
@2:43 brother u have no idea how hard this hit. The last living relative on my Dad's side of my family, my Nana, just passed at 11AM today. Life's crazy man
