I think this video is one of the most realistic depictions of what it feels like to grow up raising yourself emotionally. You become your own role model and guide. You have to learn how to raise a kid and be the kid at the same time.
When his mom passes away, his way of coping is to imagine he has a brother. This imagination is his way of getting through tragedy. He needed his brother by his side, his brother was his courage. When people go through tragedy, sometimes they feel helpless and need someone else to help them through. He didn't have anyone, so he imagined he did. When the jocks start beating up his brother, he has to decide whether to fight or let his courage die. He fights, and his brother disappears. He no longer needs his imaginary brother to be his courage, because he found his own.
My big brother Bruno fought brain cancer for 16 years. He loved this band n was so happy he got to see them live, always wore their shirt. He had numerous seizures over the years which took mobile function of his legs 2 years ago. 2 weeks ago another one that left him unable to use his arms, eat or speak. The day before he passed at 48yrs old, I played this song and cuddled with him. His eyes couldn’t focus on me, but he managed one time to sing along “stay with me” in a high head voice. Those 3 notes will stay with me forever and I’m super grateful I played this song for him.
I was in thought about the video and then reading those three words brought me to tears. I feel for you so much right now. Life can be so hard and unfair. But keep your head up high. You are a great sibling and he was blessed to have you by his side until the end.
As a Christian this song reminds me of the unfailing love that God shows to His children. He's the only One who's never left me. Human beings can fail you, but God never will. Jesus Christ is King. 👑GOD bless you all. 🔥❤

This came out when i was 14, and i had something happen in my life where i had to step up and raise my newborn niece. I used to sing this to her to sleep, i have fond memories of her dancing to this as a baby. Throughout the years ive also had to step up for her siblings, and i always have to play this song for them. This song means alot to me
I hope people don't get mad at me, but I don't understand what happened? Where is the brother and who was that in the bed? (Once again pls don't go off at me)
Tamara strictly my opinion but the brother I believe is just a figment of his imagination as a way to cope with the death of his mother (the one in the bed) I believe the main character’s imaginary brother is representation of the kind of person the main character may want to be. It’s honestly very fight club-esque as far as the two stars go.
My closest friend passed away four days ago due to cancer. Whenever I listened to that song, he was the only one I can think of. This song will forever remind me of him.
I am so sorry for you're loss. This Song is very emotional for me too but not in this way. But I' am so sad right now and your comment made me cry because you send it 3 minutes ago. I want to send you some love and strength ❤
I was moved by the bond of the two "brothers". I was devastated to see the ending. It hurts to know the mental anguish people have to go through.. My adoration and respect grows the more I listen to Twenty One Pilots. They're true artists.
It seems to me that the relationship of the two brothers can also mean the relationship of people with music. Some people don't feel lonely because of the music that gives them a reason to live and disturbs their terrible thoughts. I feel much stronger mentally and more confident when listening to music. But in reality (like the MV ending) I find myself alone in silence.
Depression Talks With Immanuel For me it isn’t because it’s very symbolic especially since he usually relied on somebody else instead of himself, and the flashes of the other black shorted boy, it means that he can now do things by himself, such as standing up to those jerks near the end
This song is so special to me. Me and my brother were always each others protector and the first time we seen this video and heard the song, we immediately named it our song. We lost him in June of this year and this was the song I chose to play at his funeral. Now the video hits even harder. To me it now represents that even though I can’t see him, he will always be by my side.
I lost my twin brother last Halloween, i will never be the same and im so lost without him. This was our song too and i cry everytime i hear it. My condolences to you and your family.
Man im so sorry for this :( I have a little sister and she is my everything... I can't imagine how painful it would be without her.... All my love goes out to you man
so sorry for your loss man. i feel the same with my older brother and i can only imagine the pain you are going through. i hope you can find some solace in this community with people who feel the same about their loved ones and know that you will always have support and love. im sure he was a great person and that he will always be by your side. much love!
i’m watching this again after quite a while and i think this is the rawest most emotionally affective music video they’ve made (in my opinion). it just really gets me
Aod- -507 no it’s actually happy because that guy is top and they are there it’s saying that he was listening to the music so he didn’t feel alone but he was alone. It was showing he could do those things and be brave because top went with him.
There needs to be a timeline showing the order to watch the music videos based on their connected stories. I'm here after Navigating. Kudos to Tyler for creating his own universe
@@gabe5999 I don't know honestly. There's different theories of what people think., he didn't die like right at that point but people think he died at birth or was just imaginary
I wish I had this song back when it came out and I’m sad I missed it. I could’ve used this when my wife went thru cancer. This is exactly how I felt. Thankfully she survived and is thriving, but if you’re reading this now. Know that it’s ok to reach out for help. There’s plenty of ppl who are willing to be there for you.
I watched it when it first released and the whole chat was going crazy idk why the other person isn’t there or what he is to the main character but I need to know can anyone tell me
Hayley Price - I think it means he had two personalities. The other personality was like his brother: it got him through the tough times and made him confident enough in himself to finally not just be the submissive parts of his personality: after he protected himself he finally saw that it was him all along.
I was supposed to have a brother about a year or so so older than me, I can still feel his presence even though he unfortunately did not make it. I wish ever day he had so badly. Be grateful of who and what you have. I wish you all a great day tho and I hope it's full of love
I wrote this because in my country this song is not on the radio, which really upsets me. When Stressed out came out, it almost immediately appeared on radio and occupied the first lines in the charts, it was awesome. 4 months have passed since the release of this video, but it is still not included on any radio in my country. I think this is unfair, because the songs from new album are amazing and as good as the songs from Blurryface. This song is especially beautiful and it had a lot of potential to become a new hit, but for some strange reason it did not happen
There’s a thing saying he made up his brother (the brother was there for him to brave and stuff) and when he fought back there was no need for the brother and he learned he can get threw it
I miss my older brother so much. He left home two days ago because my mother and my two sisters argued with him. I wish I could hug him and just melt in his arms right now. (Sorry if something is wrong. English isn’t my first language.)
I lost my best friend to suicide last July. He was a huge fan of Tøp and listened to all of your songs. You definitely helped him and me through hard times. I love the message they are trying portray in their songs. When I first heard this song, I bust into tears. And the video shows our relationship to the T. Thank you for this beautiful song. -Edit- Thank you everyone for the thoughts and support you have suggested. Yes he did kill himself, not because he was bullied or nothing like that. He had suffered depression from a very young age. He had just hit a very low part of his life and simply gave up. The depression took over. The music did help him get through a moment untill he could get to someone. No it didnt cure his depression but it got him through just a little longer.
@@andersonorme2026 ok so the kid went through the loss of his mom as a kid and along with that the bond with his dad wasn't the same anymore. When kids have traumatic experiences they will create imaginary friends and that's what he did. His imaginary brother was the only one there for him as the years went on. At the end you see he didn't really get into conflicts with other people, but when the boy felt like his brother was threatened (which is also him) he protected his "brother" and then we see that it was the boy all along. So thats my view on it
hfkgore Every single fuck wit that thinks that this is a imaginary brother due to multiple personality disorder this song is based around Tyler’s brothers this is no multiple personality this is his real brothers and depicting them and in which case 1 of his brothers did die. anyone who thinks this is multiple personality disorder your not a real 21 pilots fan and is a dumbass
There are few points in time where I feel moved enough by a fictional character's struggles to a point where I wish I could change things for them. The storytelling in this is beautiful, beyond beautiful. Could you imagine being *that* alone in the world? Having nobody to back you up and being driven to the point of relying on a split version of your own identity... It kills me this is somebody's reality out there. I'm sorry you're so lonely, it won't always be that way for you, I promise.
@@emilygirard7781 I’m so sorry Emily. I really am. Know that you’re not the only one, I’m also having to face up something similar, even if slightly different, but I understand that loneliness that makes your heart and breathe ache and you feel like falling and falling and falling down and desperately needing to escape from it somehow. Please keep strong, stay alive. You can face this. You can. I truly believe in that, and from the bottom of my heart, I truly believe in you. I know I don’t know you and stuff, but trust me pls, I believe in you. You can face this. Remember that it will get better, it won’t be forever. You will find your way. Stay persistent.❤️ You can go through this xxo. Something that helps me it’s remembering that we’re trying to find ourselves, and running from ourselves just increases this distance, hurting us even more, and especially prevent us from growing and so becoming the best verse of ourselves. It makes it easier to carry on, but prevents us to be truly happy, prevents us to find our own inner strength and courage. I just hope it helps you too. Keep persistent Emily. You’re so much stronger and capable than you think and believe.❤️ You can go through this xx Keep fighting ||-//
This video is completely different than any other music video they've released and in doing so opened themselves up to a completely new way of producing art. Its such a beautiful way of looking at the song too- while some argue that 'My blood' was the perspective of Tyler's brother, this video allows us to see it as how personas can become part of a person to cope. I really adore this band with all my heart.
CoconutCastiel HONESTLY THO, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY HOW THEYRE LOOKING AT MORE OPTIONS AND JUST GROWINF AS A BAND AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY FOR THEM FIDNDKS
My interpretation is that the boy creates an imaginary brother as a way to cope with the pain of losing his mother and seeing his father descend into alcoholism (hence the clip with him doing homework and his dad drinking). The imaginary brother is his source of strength and courage and challenges him to put himself out there because he is actually fairly shy. The fake brother is his protector and guidance and he relies on him in order to be able to do things that he’s scared to do. When the fake brother disappears after he beats up the football players, I think that was showing that he realized that he has strength within himself to overcome the challenges in his life and he no longer needs the fake/imaginary brother to help him. That was just my interpretation though so let me know what you guys think.
I don't think it's an "imaginary brother" kind of thing. Imho the video is showing how the boy has to hold his piece togheter for his entire life. The bold brother represent his will to keep going through life,that spur his other side of his personality,which is represented by the scared,shy boy. His personality in this video is described as splitted in two parts: one(the shy brother) that is the personality that he would have had if things in his life weren't messed up(his mother,his father..),and the other one that shows how he had to find the strength to survive in such a nightmare, making him a very unstable person(breaking mailboxes,picking up fights with everyone,etc). (sorry if I messed up some sentences,english isn't my first language)
I came here after the "Navigating" music video, and realized that I've actually never really understood my blood until today... I'm not crying. You are. 😭
DatOneLennyFace why’re you focusing on that idea so much, the point of my comment was to say that tøp has surprised me a lot and I was getting ready to cry again because i did for the trench release. Get over yourself.
A lot of people relate to having a sibling from this video. But this video to me just shows that you have to be there for yourself when no one is around for you. The brother was imaginary but is it really far fetched to think that you have to be your own support when you don't have anyone else??
It was interesting both ways cause like. In the end, the person helping him through all of his rough times was his big brother. Then, when that one person was the one that needed help, he came in to be the support. But then instead it was actually himself supporting his own weight. I like this
SushiDoggo Tyler and Josh say there are no fake fans. And calling other clique members ‘dumbass’ is the reason why members like you are toxic. And if we are going into the subject of ‘fake fans’ it’s twenty øne piløts, not 21 pilots.
Mr Revenue well the truth about this song and other songs is that that they are like poems, we all have our own explanation or understanding about them, what if the artist didnt say what the song was really about? Dont go saying that someone is dumbass and not "real 21 pilots fan" just because they thought it was about having multiple personality disorder
I was actually suprised when I saw the ending the first time, I really didn't think it would turn out that way. But this music video is amazing, like all music videos from TOP.
6 years ago this gem of a song came out happy 6 year anniversary “My Blood” Can’t believe it’s been almost a decade since this song came out still listening to this banger in 2024
It sort of does, the kid maybe can't get over the death of his brother, so for him, escaping DEMA means finally moving on from his brother. I don't know though
Fight Club. Well, okay, it's not the SAME storyline... but the trauma-induced "identical friend/imaginary brother" people are referring to is another personality, because we see that our protagonist has been physically acting as this second person, they reveal at the end that he was breaking the mailboxes, he chased off the bullies. He may have projected this boy into his vision, but it was an extension of himself, always. That's a second personality, just as it was depicted in Fight Club! :)
I have always thought this video represented coping mechanisms one may develop after experiencing a traumatic event. His emotional support (aka brother) appeared when he witnessed his mother dying. Your brain naturally protects it self, often by dissociating, when it can't handle the trauma in the moment. That became a tool of survival for him and he used that through life, as most people do after trauma. Love this video. Thank you, TOP!
i think its showing what his extrovert side would be doing had he not had a traumatic experience. His real self is now shy unhappy and doesn't want to talk. At the end his image as a tough/cool guy is being attacked because he was choosing to stay inside. He defends it by standing up to them
yea i did this i held a picture of my cousin from 7th grade to the middle of 8th grade i was the weird kid (still am) now I've stopped but I'll never forget the time we had together i will always miss him. right now i'm in the 9th grade i have gerilised anxiety disorder and massive depressive disorder little but fucked up but i'm ok. wish you all the best in your journy you are never alone and you're always loved

One of the things I respect most is that they really do make their own music.
obviously
Idk, Chainsmokers new song: Your Bones was _pretty_ good.
oh hi proximity didn't know you were a fan of tøp
yeah, a lot of bands do that actually
Even more mainstream artists pay others to write a song, then get famous off of singing it.
I think this video is one of the most realistic depictions of what it feels like to grow up raising yourself emotionally. You become your own role model and guide. You have to learn how to raise a kid and be the kid at the same time.
not wrong
is it a bad thing?
It gets lonely and you can feel crazy. @@Depressedweeboo
I didn't even realise that until rewatching, and now that I think about it, yeah. It's tough. Don't know who to trust other than yourself.
@@Depressedweeboo yes and no. It can feel lonely but you learn how to take care of yourself.

Tori Saffell oooohhhhh that makes total sense now
My big brother Bruno fought brain cancer for 16 years. He loved this band n was so happy he got to see them live, always wore their shirt. He had numerous seizures over the years which took mobile function of his legs 2 years ago. 2 weeks ago another one that left him unable to use his arms, eat or speak. The day before he passed at 48yrs old, I played this song and cuddled with him. His eyes couldn’t focus on me, but he managed one time to sing along “stay with me” in a high head voice. Those 3 notes will stay with me forever and I’m super grateful I played this song for him.
I am very sorry about your loss. May God soon comfort your soul and may your brother rest in peace.
I’m so sorry for your loss! You were a wonderful sister!! Keep loving TØP for him!
You will see him again...
Well, that hit hard af. Sorry about that. I know how it feels, to lose someone who is family by blood, but not up close

THIS IS SO DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER MUSIC VIDEO OF THEIRS
BUT IN A GOOD WAY
IKR SKSKSKS
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING
IT IS SØ GØØD
The brother must have died before they were born and his ghost stayed with him through out his life
For me this song always has been about self-growth, like everyone has a better version of themselves inside and all you need to do is help it grow
Imagine Josh and Tyler performing at a house party near you.... I would faint
i would just go there even when i hated parties
I'll start planning
I still can't believe this masterpiece didn't win the VMA
I feel you .. Tyler and Josh totally deserved it
who won?

3:18 and now this music video gets you and makes you cry.
Athisham Ul Haq A
I watched it when it first released and the whole chat was going crazy idk why the other person isn’t there or what he is to the main character but I need to know can anyone tell me
Hayley Price - I think it means he had two personalities. The other personality was like his brother: it got him through the tough times and made him confident enough in himself to finally not just be the submissive parts of his personality: after he protected himself he finally saw that it was him all along.
I started crying at 0:00
Yes it does
I was supposed to have a brother about a year or so so older than me, I can still feel his presence even though he unfortunately did not make it. I wish ever day he had so badly. Be grateful of who and what you have. I wish you all a great day tho and I hope it's full of love
At any moment this song will be really popular, we just need to wait.
This song, unfortunately, will not become popular. Idk why it happened, this song deserves much more attention, it is clearly underrated
Yes, its like the typical song that becomes very popular at any moment
It might be, when I was listening to the radio it literally came on like every 3 or 4 songs
Hola I legit every other song was My Blood for a while. I guess you just had to listen to the right station.
I wrote this because in my country this song is not on the radio, which really upsets me. When Stressed out came out, it almost immediately appeared on radio and occupied the first lines in the charts, it was awesome. 4 months have passed since the release of this video, but it is still not included on any radio in my country. I think this is unfair, because the songs from new album are amazing and as good as the songs from Blurryface. This song is especially beautiful and it had a lot of potential to become a new hit, but for some strange reason it did not happen
I WATCHED THE PREMIRE OF THIS IN THE SCHOOL BATHROOM AND I STILL GET GOOSEBUMPS WHEN THEY DONT BOTH WALK THROUGH THE DOOR
I my heart got heavy af what's that feeling I'm not an emotional person
Yo hablo español :v
I get goosebumps too... Everytime I see that part
There’s a thing saying he made up his brother (the brother was there for him to brave and stuff) and when he fought back there was no need for the brother and he learned he can get threw it
@@bonitax._3884 Yeah
this music video is so powerful, I'm crying omg
pussy...lol
you're right
You to?
+Mateo Trejo what?
Same.
I miss my older brother so much. He left home two days ago because my mother and my two sisters argued with him. I wish I could hug him and just melt in his arms right now.
(Sorry if something is wrong. English isn’t my first language.)
I’m so sorry
I lost my best friend to suicide last July. He was a huge fan of Tøp and listened to all of your songs. You definitely helped him and me through hard times. I love the message they are trying portray in their songs. When I first heard this song, I bust into tears. And the video shows our relationship to the T. Thank you for this beautiful song.
-Edit- Thank you everyone for the thoughts and support you have suggested. Yes he did kill himself, not because he was bullied or nothing like that. He had suffered depression from a very young age. He had just hit a very low part of his life and simply gave up. The depression took over. The music did help him get through a moment untill he could get to someone. No it didnt cure his depression but it got him through just a little longer.
I so sorry your damage, but now you must be strong and brave

Not only did the song hold so much meaning, but now the video is beyond incredible. Way to crush my heart at the end
can you please explain the video to me i dont get it :'(
💖
yeah this music video hit me really hard.
@@andersonorme2026 ok so the kid went through the loss of his mom as a kid and along with that the bond with his dad wasn't the same anymore. When kids have traumatic experiences they will create imaginary friends and that's what he did. His imaginary brother was the only one there for him as the years went on. At the end you see he didn't really get into conflicts with other people, but when the boy felt like his brother was threatened (which is also him) he protected his "brother" and then we see that it was the boy all along. So thats my view on it
hfkgore Every single fuck wit that thinks that this is a imaginary brother due to multiple personality disorder this song is based around Tyler’s brothers this is no multiple personality this is his real brothers and depicting them and in which case 1 of his brothers did die. anyone who thinks this is multiple personality disorder your not a real 21 pilots fan and is a dumbass
There are few points in time where I feel moved enough by a fictional character's struggles to a point where I wish I could change things for them. The storytelling in this is beautiful, beyond beautiful. Could you imagine being *that* alone in the world? Having nobody to back you up and being driven to the point of relying on a split version of your own identity... It kills me this is somebody's reality out there. I'm sorry you're so lonely, it won't always be that way for you, I promise.
❤
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@emilygirard7781 I’m so sorry Emily. I really am. Know that you’re not the only one, I’m also having to face up something similar, even if slightly different, but I understand that loneliness that makes your heart and breathe ache and you feel like falling and falling and falling down and desperately needing to escape from it somehow. Please keep strong, stay alive. You can face this. You can. I truly believe in that, and from the bottom of my heart, I truly believe in you. I know I don’t know you and stuff, but trust me pls, I believe in you. You can face this. Remember that it will get better, it won’t be forever. You will find your way. Stay persistent.❤️ You can go through this xxo. Something that helps me it’s remembering that we’re trying to find ourselves, and running from ourselves just increases this distance, hurting us even more, and especially prevent us from growing and so becoming the best verse of ourselves. It makes it easier to carry on, but prevents us to be truly happy, prevents us to find our own inner strength and courage. I just hope it helps you too.
Keep persistent Emily. You’re so much stronger and capable than you think and believe.❤️ You can go through this xx Keep fighting ||-//

Fight club vibes. I love this song!
Interesting thing is, Fight Club is Josh's favorite movie
Or the karate kid vibes

Or Mr Robot vibe
love your new song too!!
This song taught me to love myself. You matter more than them. If they die. You wake up tomorrow. If you die. It goes black and quiet. Simple as.
I hope this gets an award for the best music video
TRUE THAT
Definitely.
It deserves a nomination
I can hear this comment singing
Yes my dude
I can't believe they actually did this to us.... 🌲
What am I doing here ._. what's goin on lmao
What is this world become
2:55 when he says my blood and syncs exactly with the music is so clean.
alSo how the first hit syncs w josh hitting his drum !!
EASON LIU HOLY SHIT I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THAT
....Isn’t that how music is supposed to work...?
O wait I got what u meant lol nvm
You’re right that’s impressive
This song is the soundtrack to friendship for me. Period. If you can’t hang this hard, we don’t need to be friends…This video has me SOBBING…
Wow, did not expect a TØP video to be like this
True
Same , but I love it
Same Oof.
WELL YOU SHOULDVE
Is this livening free
This video is completely different than any other music video they've released and in doing so opened themselves up to a completely new way of producing art. Its such a beautiful way of looking at the song too- while some argue that 'My blood' was the perspective of Tyler's brother, this video allows us to see it as how personas can become part of a person to cope. I really adore this band with all my heart.
CoconutCastiel You have some good thinking going on.
CoconutCastiel HONESTLY THO, IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY HOW THEYRE LOOKING AT MORE OPTIONS AND JUST GROWINF AS A BAND AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY FOR THEM FIDNDKS
Nice. I like it

My interpretation is that the boy creates an imaginary brother as a way to cope with the pain of losing his mother and seeing his father descend into alcoholism (hence the clip with him doing homework and his dad drinking). The imaginary brother is his source of strength and courage and challenges him to put himself out there because he is actually fairly shy. The fake brother is his protector and guidance and he relies on him in order to be able to do things that he’s scared to do. When the fake brother disappears after he beats up the football players, I think that was showing that he realized that he has strength within himself to overcome the challenges in his life and he no longer needs the fake/imaginary brother to help him. That was just my interpretation though so let me know what you guys think.
its a music video
I like it! I'm not sure about the ending though.
Holly Kibbins Agreed
i like turtles
I don't think it's an "imaginary brother" kind of thing. Imho the video is showing how the boy has to hold his piece togheter for his entire life. The bold brother represent his will to keep going through life,that spur his other side of his personality,which is represented by the scared,shy boy. His personality in this video is described as splitted in two parts: one(the shy brother) that is the personality that he would have had if things in his life weren't messed up(his mother,his father..),and the other one that shows how he had to find the strength to survive in such a nightmare, making him a very unstable person(breaking mailboxes,picking up fights with everyone,etc).
(sorry if I messed up some sentences,english isn't my first language)
I came here after the "Navigating" music video, and realized that I've actually never really understood my blood until today...
I'm not crying. You are. 😭
I literally burst into tears at the end, TØP never disappoint making me feel so many kinds of emotions

DatOneLennyFace why’re you focusing on that idea so much, the point of my comment was to say that tøp has surprised me a lot and I was getting ready to cry again because i did for the trench release. Get over yourself.
After my sister passed I still listen to this. I raised her and myself. My brain still doesn't function right now.
A lot of people relate to having a sibling from this video. But this video to me just shows that you have to be there for yourself when no one is around for you. The brother was imaginary but is it really far fetched to think that you have to be your own support when you don't have anyone else??
Shubham Bagdare actually I think that even in your hard times there is always some one there to help you through them even if they are not real
It was interesting both ways cause like. In the end, the person helping him through all of his rough times was his big brother. Then, when that one person was the one that needed help, he came in to be the support. But then instead it was actually himself supporting his own weight. I like this
SushiDoggo Tyler and Josh say there are no fake fans. And calling other clique members ‘dumbass’ is the reason why members like you are toxic.
And if we are going into the subject of ‘fake fans’ it’s twenty øne piløts, not 21 pilots.
YES I THOUGHT THE SAME!
Mr Revenue well the truth about this song and other songs is that that they are like poems, we all have our own explanation or understanding about them, what if the artist didnt say what the song was really about? Dont go saying that someone is dumbass and not "real 21 pilots fan" just because they thought it was about having multiple personality disorder
Those teens are the luckiest human beings on earth: They got twenty one pilots at their party
I want them on my party
Aries Rule😝🔥💪♈
right!
Yeah but I only saw two of the pilots.

6 years ago this gem of a song came out happy 6 year anniversary “My Blood”
Can’t believe it’s been almost a decade since this song came out still listening to this banger in 2024
I'm surprised this song isn't as popular as.stressed out...
Yeah man exactly what I was thinking this masterpiece... says a whole lot about brotherhood.

I fucking love the bass in this song!
Meeee
Mikeon GD bass ?
yep
A brother is a gift from heaven
Sad video with super cool song ....
I think it's more mysterious than sad. Since... You know... It doesn't tie to the Trench story and all.
It sort of does, the kid maybe can't get over the death of his brother, so for him, escaping DEMA means finally moving on from his brother. I don't know though
@@mattheww.8686 It's his mom that died, He made up an imaginary brother to fill the void, because his dad wouldn't be there for him
I need a movie that has the same storyline
A beautiful mind
Fight Club.
Well, okay, it's not the SAME storyline...
but the trauma-induced "identical friend/imaginary brother" people are referring to is another personality, because we see that our protagonist has been physically acting as this second person, they reveal at the end that he was breaking the mailboxes, he chased off the bullies. He may have projected this boy into his vision, but it was an extension of himself, always. That's a second personality, just as it was depicted in Fight Club! :)
Goodnight mommy
Fight club
A good movie like this is Goodnight mommy. Its super interesting!
My closest friend died 16 september this year, he was like a brother to me. The ending really hit the heart.
Sorry man that sucks :(
Good job pushing threw it
Sorry for your loss :(
Slugstikz I’m so sorry to hear that
Im sorry but u know the ending doesnt mean that the friend died right?
No joke, I ACTUALLY can’t listen to this song too often. It makes me teary eyed every re-listen.
OMG SAME,,
not to be overdramatic but this is one of the best songs of this decade
Indeed it is.
Agreed
ella haha yes!!
I agree!
Yes
Those kids must be pretty Damn lucky to have Tyler and Josh at a party man
Who needs to fight when we can listen to Tyler singing
That kid you mean
right! i would luv that!
I have always thought this video represented coping mechanisms one may develop after experiencing a traumatic event. His emotional support (aka brother) appeared when he witnessed his mother dying. Your brain naturally protects it self, often by dissociating, when it can't handle the trauma in the moment. That became a tool of survival for him and he used that through life, as most people do after trauma. Love this video. Thank you, TOP!
i think its showing what his extrovert side would be doing had he not had a traumatic experience. His real self is now shy unhappy and doesn't want to talk. At the end his image as a tough/cool guy is being attacked because he was choosing to stay inside. He defends it by standing up to them
DID?
Wait... so you're telling me.. Alexis isn't real?...
Tf
yea i did this i held a picture of my cousin from 7th grade to the middle of 8th grade i was the weird kid (still am) now I've stopped but I'll never forget the time we had together i will always miss him. right now i'm in the 9th grade i have gerilised anxiety disorder and massive depressive disorder little but fucked up but i'm ok. wish you all the best in your journy you are never alone and you're always loved
