Mason Black I'd imagine it took a LOT more than one take to get this shot. I'm just guessing, of course.. Maybe ***** can provide us some more info? =) Either way, its a catchy song with great lyrics and the video was pretty impressive!
Same here man, he hit up Birmingham in the UK at a time when I needed some joy in my life, best gig I ever went to 🤙 he was walking on our hands while hanging from the rafters, and lay down on a sea of hands like a porn star 😅
Agreed. *Opinion Piece* Watsky is the best live performer (or at least was) when I saw him at the Firebird in STL there was only a few hundred in attendance and he would’ve stayed and talked to every single one of us for as long as we wanted. Only the next person in line was going to tell you to move. It was magical and I can never thank them enough.
What a pro, giving the dancers their own screen time. That's a true artist not being selfish and sharing the spotlight with people who worked hard. Fuck ya.
my girlfriend messes up lyrics all the time, but, "i'll f*cking punch my fears, i'll finger bang a dragon" is a rare and beautiful confusion that we owe this one for. thanks as usual george :).
@@meganversteeg61 Tyler Joseph is afraid of heavy doors. (or... was at one point. He's been quiet about that for a while. His public face is a lot more stoic these days.)
I love that the video has meaning to it as well, or at least I feel it did (remember he was a poet first). The desk and everything he sits behind in the beginning are all simply props. This is much like life, all material items don't matter and when they're needed they just go away. Right after the dancers come into view. you can tell they are working hard but having fun, just like every task should be approached. All through the video the dragon can be seen lurking about just as every challenge we face has been there since birth. You can tell Watsky isn't comfortable dancing (which he also says in how to ruin everything) yet he doesn't let it sway him from joining in with all of the people around him. At the end of the video he is seen with a broom in hand, showing that even when you are the center of attention you still aren't too good to do the dirty work. Lastly, the video is done in one continuous shot, just like life is. You don't get a break for a single second. Those are just the things I noticed. Watsky is quickly becoming my favorite artist and has been the one I most mention or sing idly whilst alone. I am so grateful for epic rap battles lol.
There must be some kind of spell in this video... I just drop by to take a look in Watsky's work (I come from ERB) and now I can't stop watching this ^_^
Every time I find myself losing motivation to finish my major projects, and study for finals week I turn on this song, and it helps so much. I especially love the line "I put in hour after hour, let's be crystal clear. I'm gonna get there if it takes a day or 50 years." since I'm in my freshman year, and plan to go to med school. This shit is gonna take a while, but I'm gonna buckle up and reach the end of this long long road.
The guy busting a move on the far right at the very end of the video has this super endearing proud smile after he kills it and he knows it-- I've rewatched it so many times lol, brings so much warmth to my heart ❤
I seriously listen to this song before I start editing, every-time I begin editing. This song makes everything seem attainable, and possible, as long as you put in the time and the effort.
I just heard of this guy like 2 songs ago and I have a new favourite artist. This shit is art. Fucking legit. Hope he's got shit on Google music cause I'm buying all of it.
S/O to this song show keeping me alive since 2015. At least once a year since I found it, I've come acrossed this song in a time that I need it, and it reminds me that I can do it. Thanks, Watsky! Here's to you, and to all of us. 🍾
музыка - точнее сэмплы и все другое (в рэпе, музыки как таковой нет) расставлены правильно и звучит все под текст. Насчет текста, он про мотивацию и жизнь, скажем так - поучительный. По крайней мере лучше чем рэп, который читает большинство, про деньги и женщин. Текст можно найти под видео. Моя оценка - 8/10. Можно было бы снять по лучше, при наличии денег и фантазии конечно же.
I just got my jewelry in my first boutique this week, and a second boutique has already reached out. This song has been my anthem since I started my business three years ago. THANK YOU WATSKY!
CharlieMikeCheeseCake Gaming how mature....look at themeowmix03's comment...hes right. I have been a huge fan of watskys since 2011, that has nothing to do with your comment
Oh you mean racial color. Im not trying to be racist about it, im just saying hes the best white rapper ive seen. Obvcourse theres other good rappers, possible better but, i think your whole deal is that im saying white? Im guessing you want me to say "best rapper ever" or something? instead of making it racial? Lol if you guys pointed out white as in racial color this could have been over with alot quicker. thefootballkid17 TheMeowMix03
Love the ominous music in the background. Performer is good actor. Makes the lyrics so understandable. Fun when he joins the dancers. Love the off-broadway look of the production, and the dragon is brilliant. So funny.
There are tons of good people working their assess off everyday, yet they are stuck in poverty. Luck is needed more than work but neither are mutually exclusive. Love the song.
Stumbled on Watsky a few weeks ago just by chance. Love the themes, messages, and videos. Personally I love the fact that he is not the kind of rapper just acting thug, and instead relies on strong lyrics and of course the message as I previously mentioned. Keep it up!!
The most inspiring lyric in that entire song... "cuz waiting doesn't work, and praying may not come through, and hoping doesn't work so I will be the one to work." Fucking tell it Watsky
This is really inspiring me to finish the rest of my minecraft library lmfao. I've been working on it for 7 hours. I know this sounds sad but I swear I'm not 12, I'm a 16 year old trying to find shiz to do during this quarantine. Filling the empty void in my heart that was hanging with my friends with minecraft mods and Watsky's music
I get what you mean haha, I haven’t played for years and a few friends of mine suddenly started playing minecraft just for something to do...and we’re about to start university haha

I like how the video was just one giant take. No edits. No cut-takes. No jumps. Just one long, continuous shot.
Could you imagine how pissed off they'd be if someone messed up in the middle of the take? Haha...
Dude, that break dancing guy would've died of dehydration xD
Mason Black messed up at the end
Mason Black I'd imagine it took a LOT more than one take to get this shot. I'm just guessing, of course.. Maybe ***** can provide us some more info? =) Either way, its a catchy song with great lyrics and the video was pretty impressive!
Eru Illuvatar on SourceFed's comment commentary he said said it took them five tries to get it but they got it all in one take
watsky is like if Michel cera unleashed his savage side.
+Kevin Schepp Youth In Revolt? Haha
+Joseph Hays Youth in Revolt i think
Omg I was thinking the same thing 😍😍😍 and I find both him and Michael Cera EXTREMELY HOT!! 😂😂😂
When he was performing at his Aus show, he didn't come out so we all started chanting Michael Cera and he came out, it was fucking hilarious
Kevin Schepp know what the use tchotchke for when he came a young man
"If I need to I'll go through you and absorb your fucking powers."
InfiniteAmmunition OSMOSIS!!!
***** Depends on the mood.
InfiniteAmmunition So Watsky= Neo basically lol
***** well if it was me i would absorb his fucking powers not his fucking powers
kirby
Who's still listening?
Still my favorite of his. Watching him sing this live was one of the best things in my life.
Same here man, he hit up Birmingham in the UK at a time when I needed some joy in my life, best gig I ever went to 🤙 he was walking on our hands while hanging from the rafters, and lay down on a sea of hands like a porn star 😅

This Guy is So Underrated.

+Michael Argeris Can you read?
+Hidden Assassin yah that was my brother that types that not me

What a pro, giving the dancers their own screen time. That's a true artist not being selfish and sharing the spotlight with people who worked hard. Fuck ya.
my girlfriend messes up lyrics all the time, but,
"i'll f*cking punch my fears, i'll finger bang a dragon"
is a rare and beautiful confusion that we owe this one for. thanks as usual george :).
Thats priceless!
Hilarious!
4 years later, my fiance and I cracked up at this. Same feekygucker.
@@bendoods2 😂
I wish those were the lyrics. When the mistake is funnier than the original.
His smile at 2:38 is always contagious.
he's got one of those smiles
Everyone's smile is contagious :D
not Donald Trump's one
Nathan Caillat politics is cancer anyway, you shouldnt ever see Trumps smile unless you hate life lol
I had it paused at 2:38 because its so contagious. I cant stand it.
Put this song on loop.

A Small Box. wish you had a small box...said he in your basement
by far the most adorable rapper on the planet
based on your profile picture I'm betting you've seen Tyler joseph, and heard his puppy lisp thing.
rachel mckittrick ACCURATE
Tyler joseph still comes off as more tough than watsky to me though
@@meganversteeg61 Tyler Joseph is afraid of heavy doors.

Let's apreciate how this video was made in a single take,no cuts,no tricks...
WATSKY FUCKING LEGEND
Have you seen AWOL Bad Wolf? Same style
Wicked wicked flow. The kid's got skills that's for sure!👏👏👏👏
+Nils Gronemezer That's what's most surprising about him xD
+Nils Gronemezer really? wtf?? I thought he was much younger. He looks about 18-20
Aimee Frost danng
Merci Aiekillu de m'avoir fait découvrir Watsky !!
Idem
TA GUEULE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
merci youtube oui
mm
Watsky *-* ! ♥
Watsky telling it how it is
I can't believe hes 30, just wow he looks 16
ToS CGeno
I call bullshit.
=looks it up=
I still call bullshit.
Ikr? He looks and sounds so young.
He must have found the fountain of youth.
Now that he's got long hair and facial hair, he actually looks 30 lol
Michael J. wow we got m.j. here
My new favorite motivation song, you know what, Watsky's just my new favorite EVERYTHING
:(
Sophie Nilssen Hey, Hey,....Sh
2:41, that smile makes me love George so much, haha.
There must be some kind of spell in this video...
I just drop by to take a look in Watsky's work (I come from ERB) and now I can't stop watching this
^_^
yee dawg
Also came because of ERB. He was so sick as Shakespeare.
Humberto Avila I came from ERB too
Isn't it crazy how his lisp like makes his sound even better HERE IN 2023 ❤️
Can everybody take a moment to appreciate this was in one take.
ONE TAKE FOR ALL THAT...... underrated, dedication, and work don’t even start to describe him!!! He’s incredible!!!
this music video is awesome. I got mad respect for impressive one shot videos like this
Watsky is amazing!
Oh hey, Asa from the past. Lmao I love accidentally coming across comments I've left in the past.
I would love to know how many of these views are mine...
Not possibly more than half. I'm here too.
After all these years I was finally thinking the same thing and seen you guys in the comments
I agree
1. We all get 1.
68, you're welcome
We must love and protect watsky. I’ve been a fan since idgaf.
Love the style
Keep him where he is
I don’t want this new generation finding him
i never thought michael cera could inspire me so much omg
Wait, what? What does that have to do with this song?
THATS who I was thinking of! I couldn't put a finger on it
I knew I wasnt the only one who thought he looked like George-Michael. lol.
It's like the kid from Juno grew a jew-fro and liked to rhyme.
he looks more like finch from american pie
Sorry subbed late Watsky, had this song in the fav's for a while doe!
Same
Every time I find myself losing motivation to finish my major projects, and study for finals week I turn on this song, and it helps so much. I especially love the line "I put in hour after hour, let's be crystal clear. I'm gonna get there if it takes a day or 50 years." since I'm in my freshman year, and plan to go to med school.

2:06 possibly one of the best quotes ever.
I think he’s doing great ! He’s got smooth moves and a good flow go Go ❤
This is still, to this day, my favorite motivational song.
He got some bars man someone said to me he good
The guy busting a move on the far right at the very end of the video has this super endearing proud smile after he kills it and he knows it-- I've rewatched it so many times lol, brings so much warmth to my heart ❤
Sir, chin above the bar !
This really is the sickest shit ever.
Scott Cavill khas o
I love this song so much. No joke this song has helped me through hard times.
This shit makes me pumped to take life head first. Nothing can limit me
I seriously listen to this song before I start editing, every-time I begin editing. This song makes everything seem attainable, and possible, as long as you put in the time and the effort.
Autumn Silva or fucking punch a dragon
Is this Darude-Sandstorm
Yes
Sandstorm is love
Sandstorm is life
It's all Sandstorm now
This is my Sandstorm
STILL my all-time soul-stimulating MAGIC!
"Best white rapper." No its just "Best rapper"
Or how bout best rapper Nas or MF Doom or Jay Electronica or Kanye and best white rapper Mac Miller
I just heard of this guy like 2 songs ago and I have a new favourite artist. This shit is art. Fucking legit. Hope he's got shit on Google music cause I'm buying all of it.
This is the moral of the story more now than ever. Those who put in the work ahead of time are not sweating now.
Love the literary references! "No weirdo's rocked the bell this hard since Quasimodo!" Brilliant, George--count me a fan!
Is this the guy who was the fastest rapper and was on the Ellen Show?
mhm
yes
he was in ellen show but wasn't the fastest, he isn't even fast lol :p
+Kuba Makuch ok can't deny he isn't the fastest but he is fast. faster than you at least
+Kuba Makuch what the fuck have you heard him rap 😂
2:38 Watsky cracks smile
Love this guy. Easily one of my favorite rappers'Hip-Hop artists. Tells a great story in an amazing flow. Just amazing.

He came from the future.....yet he rests within the past.....may we ever see this legend in the present?
We may never know...
Just turned 10 years old
and the moral of the story is... YOU CANT TRUST THE SYSTEM!!!
Take their money not their ideas?
"*If you gotta go you got to hold on to what hope is, if I didn't have it I would ask you where the rope is*" Damn that line hits hard.....
this song gave me the insight to leave my abusive ex husband. also got me back on track for my girls. ty ty ty master George Watsky
One of the greatest songs of all time. This song got me through many difficulties in my life.
He worked it before Rihanna did.
Nicx L you knew all about you ass pirate
I can doe happy knowing I saw and met this gorgeous human in concert
S/O to this song show keeping me alive since 2015. At least once a year since I found it, I've come acrossed this song in a time that I need it, and it reminds me that I can do it. Thanks, Watsky! Here's to you, and to all of us. 🍾
wow this is absolutely fantastic :)
"Even with the Himalayas in my way its gonna happen" filthiest line in ANY song ever created
Watsky's smile is everything
Eminem + Twenty One Pilots + Every Good Song Ever = Watsky
Exactlyyyyyy
Mewtwo Yas |-/
Mewtwo I love Eminem but this guy is 3 times faster than him 😂
You forgot Michael Cera
Mattbomber Gaming It doesn't matter who's faster though
Quoted this song in the intro of my Self-Help book :-p
Duff The Psych If I need to I'll go through you and absorb your fucking powers?
I want to see "I'll punch a fucking dragon" in a book somewhere.
Hahah yeah the part where he said "I am" is legendary. wow just thinking about the poetic skill that must've went into those 2 words...
When you have this much talent, you don't need a raw image
Start your day with this and you will become unstoppable
Отлично же.
Отлично потому что ты не понимаешь что он несёт
И не очень-то в этом нуждаюсь. Ведь и понять то, что несешь ты - довольно сложно, ибо знаки препинания не расставлены.
музыка - точнее сэмплы и все другое (в рэпе, музыки как таковой нет) расставлены правильно и звучит все под текст. Насчет текста, он про мотивацию и жизнь, скажем так - поучительный.

best white rapper
CharlieMikeCheeseCake Gaming You said "best white rapper." How is that not associating color with this?
CharlieMikeCheeseCake Gaming
how mature....look at themeowmix03's comment...hes right.
I have been a huge fan of watskys since 2011, that has nothing to do with your comment
Oh you mean racial color. Im not trying to be racist about it, im just saying hes the best white rapper ive seen.

Lol if you guys pointed out white as in racial color this could have been over with alot quicker. thefootballkid17 TheMeowMix03
CharlieMikeCheeseCake Gaming You're not being racist. You could have simply said "Watsky is a great rapper." What did you think he meant by color?
I thought you meant the background color of the lights lol..
Probably one of my favorite Watsky song.
I swear he's getting better and better, I can't stop listening
This song is my new Life Motto
Watsky is my spirit animal
It might just be the lisp but he reminds me of Jim Parsons
Love the ominous music in the background. Performer is good actor. Makes the lyrics so understandable. Fun when he joins the dancers. Love the off-broadway look of the production, and the dragon is brilliant. So funny.
i just love how he looks so sarcastic, relaxed and almost as if he is about to burst out with laughter
I love that cheeky smile in the middle of the dance routine : )
Watsky said he didn't like his dancing in this video but I love it, and everyone's, its just great.
The symbolism in both the song and the video are so well done! Honestly, the compare/contrast to now a days. Talk about fresh air! I wasnt prepared.
Currently procrastinating by listening to this song. Thanks, Watsky.
There are tons of good people working their assess off everyday, yet they are stuck in poverty. Luck is needed more than work but neither are mutually exclusive.
Love the song.
the flow is just amazing with this beat
Stumbled on Watsky a few weeks ago just by chance. Love the themes, messages, and videos. Personally I love the fact that he is not the kind of rapper just acting thug, and instead relies on strong lyrics and of course the message as I previously mentioned. Keep it up!!
Who new watsky can dance...? not me XD
Very rarely do I play a song twice in a row but this one deserves it. Good shit Watsky
His smile at 2:37 is so pure.
I was playing "he's a pirate" on my e-piano while I used my headphones and my cellphone recognised this song.
I'm glad these coincidences happen
I must be getting old cuz all the dancing and waving their hands in the air like they just don't care biz seemed fake and wrong to me.
It's just to make the one shot take a little bit harder and more impressive.
wat
Thats the entire point.
1st verse is awesome but the 2nd verse is fapmaterial
The most inspiring lyric in that entire song... "cuz waiting doesn't work, and praying may not come through, and hoping doesn't work so I will be the one to work." Fucking tell it Watsky
this song is the literal definition of savage!
Quiet coyote! My sons school did that at Tustin Ranch Elementary! Dope song bro!
One of my favorite Watsky music videos. Love the dancers!
Love you Watsky
watsky, you continue to inspire me to carry on living every single day. thank you so much dude.
Watsky: "If you got a goal you gotta hold on to what hope is"
Also Watsky: "Hoping doesn't work"
Still hits today.
NEVER GETS OLD, AND WHEN MORE GETD OLD BETTER IT IS!! 🇧🇷
perfect song for when you need motivation, honestly
This is really inspiring me to finish the rest of my minecraft library lmfao. I've been working on it for 7 hours.
