This song is also really true. People tell you to be yourself and be unique, but if you are too unique, you get ridiculed.
this is so true. im myself all the time but ofc people think im mental
Yeah but I am also forgettable so I forget what they say and always have my headphones in so ya can ignore the haters haha.
Not really because if you follow the crowd then you won’t have adventures
Then those people aren't the right type of people, lol.
story of my hunty
Mitch: A guy that can stay emotionless while hitting a high note
Good Meat you have to manipulate the shape of your mouth and soft pallette to sing properly, especially f oh are singing higher than your usual range because you have to redirect where the air is exiting your head. Your face and sinuses act a great deal like a trumpet, and have you seen a misshapen trumpet that sounded good?
Good Meat xD
Code Name yeah but he was lo syncing for the music video so he could’ve changed his face and later on he was smiling
It is so true. All the human race can do is stare in awe. It's honestly hilarious to watch everyone else stare speechless.
Good Meat I can dO IT EASY
Superfruit AAAAAAND my queen Kirstin Maldonado
cool mess Don't forget Todrick
This is my son favorite song he has autism and when he hears this song he gets up to dance. It makes me so happy when I see him do that, thank you for making a beautiful song like this one. God bless you.
This song should have been a massive hit, it’s perfect
What am I, pentatonixing the world out of corona
@@franckydaveprodz4371 me too.
Too far outside the black & white for the industry, I guess...
~~ Lyrics: ~~
Hey, dreamer
Why you gotta dream so big?
How you gonna fit inside this box
We’re trying hard to fit you in
Hey, dreamer
Why you gotta dream so bright?
For you to dream in technicolour’s not okay
And it ain’t right!
It’s black and white
Left right
Right left right left (x4)
Well you can move forward
But don’t step out of line
Try to be content
This world is -tentless?- tintless but it’s far from colour-blind
And I was so sure
Someday I would find
The crack between the black and white
The fact that might ignite a change of mind
But they said
Who
Do you think you are
What
Do you think you’ll be
Why
You run around town
Thinking all these crazy things that ain’t
True
So just know your place
Just
Wasn’t meant to be
Try
And you’ll get a taste
Of good reality
And they say
Dream
But not too big
Reach
But not too wide
Think
The impossible
As long as it’s in black and white, they said
Leap
But not too high
Shine
But not too bright
Think
The impossible
As long as it’s in black and white, I said
Left right
Right left right left (x4)
Now you can move mountains
But don’t you try to climb
You can write the songs
Don’t get me wrong
Just note the words can never rhyme
And I was so sure
That I gave them a little time
Maybe they ignore me
Press fast forward
But they simply press rewind
And they say
Who
Do you think you are
What
Do you think you’ll be
Why
You run around town
Thinking all these crazy things that ain’t
True
So just know your place
Just
Wasn’t meant to be
Try
And you’ll get a taste
Of good reality
And they say
Dream
But not too big
Reach
But not too wide
Think
The impossible
As long as it’s in black and white, they say
Leap
But not too high
Shine
But not too bright
Think
The impossible
As long as it’s in black and white, I said
Left right
Right left right left (x4)
No dreams allowed
No standing out
Stay in the crowd
It’s black and white
Head’s in the clouds
Just come back down
Feet on the ground
It’s black and white
Dream
But not too big
Reach
But not too wide
Think
The impossible
As long as it’s in black and white, they said
Leap
But not too high
Shine
But not too bright
Think
The impossible
As long as it’s in black and white, I said
Dreamer
Why you gotta dream so big?
How you gonna fit inside this box
They’re trying hard to fit you in
Hey, dreamer
Why you gotta dream so bright?
For you to dream in technicolour’s not okay
And it ain’t right!
It’s black and white
Left right
Right left right left (x4)
_Edit: thanks to bnljaney_
Thank you!
Anne B Thank You ! ! !
Anne B I'm pretty sure the word with your ?? Is tintless otherwise great job and thanks for doing this!
Oh, that makes so much more sense! Thanks! I was really wondering. Couldn't find the lyrics anywhere myself, so I tried to work it out as much as possible, and re-listened to that line so many times and still couldn't work it out. So thanks for telling me :)
Anne B THANK YOU GOD LADY
Mitch's solo near the end is my weekly obsession
lmao i don't remember commenting this 😂
JustGenevive same. i think im in love
What's his instagram
Alex Aubrey @mitchgrassi
I understood that reference -captain america-
these lyrics are INCREDIBLE listen hes saying how we're conditioned to be uniform ( which the set expresses with the clothes and mechanical identical movement) and be a watered down version of ourselves. "dream but not too big" "shine but not too bright" "no standing out" as a double minority himself whos broken out AS unique hes really trying tell yall if he can YOU CAN TOO. NO BOXES! NO LIMITS YALL! BELIEVE IN YOU
Maci Johnson im so proud he could be lola:) in kinky boots
Maci Johnson plus society is always telling young children, "dream big," "you can be and do whatever you want to do," and by high school society is basically like "lol you didn't take us seriously did you? Anyways fill out these college applications. I recommend majoring in business or finance :)"
CHL. Touché! School brow beats the singularity and unique talents and dreams out of our children! After us parents have worked so hard to teach them to dream big, and be who you are because you are one of a kind and were made this way on purpose! Another thing I learned was how wrong I was to tell my first born that you can go to the adults at school if anything is wrong... Because they care and will help you. 😒 oh my gosh, the treatment my kids have recieved in public school by adults would be considered abusive if it happened in their own home. And the schools are not held accountable. They hold all the cards. I am not a fan.
@@cchh1 The modern school system of the United States, if memory serves, is hardly changed from centuries ago when it was used to produce mostly factory workers. Some things have gotten better in general. There is little to no corporal punishments and more technology has been integrated. However, many elements of the past still remain in layout of classrooms and teaching techniques. Furthermore, due to lack of funding for education and other reasons, more and more schools are choosing to lose the creative and hands-on classes in favor of the bare essentials. Socialization, recreation and phys ed may also be limited. It's not right, no. It's not the way it should be.
3:38 love Mitch doing that cut shoulder bounce!!
Why do I feel like this song would fit in a Disney movie?
Damn you might be right
it's like gospel lol
Right? This is giving me major High school musical vibes.
**sigh** my gay disney princes
Cause its exuding a hell of a lot of High School Musical and Descendants energy ~
Honestly, I'm already shook and it just came out 20 seconds ago.
Rye Pie LET THEM HAVE THIS MOMENT
Julie Kilpp wow
I CAN'T GET OVER HOW BEAUTIFUL MITCHY SOUNDS
Kirstie is in Superfruit now I guess!😂
I'm not complaining though😂💙💚💗
Valerie Downing he uploaded it last night and it had her name. Then he reuploaded it with out her name. Idk why he did that.
Valerie Downing she's still apart of pentatonix
Iesha Washington I realize that but it only says SUPERFRUIT not Pentatonix
Valerie Downing Well the whole Pentatonix group wasn't in the video only Kirstin was and he wrote her name in the description box.
Iesha Washington and that's why I said it because Kirstie isn't in SUPERFRUIT and it wasn't all Pentatonix, it was supposed to be a joke.
The fourth Highschool Musical looks pretty good.
2 years later and UA-cam decided it was the right time to show me this in 2019 October 2🤦🏽♀️
Silvèr Vencí mine too lol 😂
At least UA-cam did I found this song on Pandora
I just find it November 20
People Looooooove to complain...about anything really.
It's a sign they have had it too easy in life.
@@jamesmodlin6279 life is never easy on anyone, besides it's your choice to reply to *someone else's comment* you could have just ignored if you think *Life is easy*
HAD TO STEP OUT OF CLASS JUST TO WATCH THIS.
IM IN THE HALLWAY RN.
NOT EVEN WORRIED.
IT WAS A MUST.
IM SHOOKETH.
Jeremy Clyde u my friend are amazing!!! haha thats so cool
Jeremy Clyde LOOOOOOL WTF DID ANYONE CATCH U
Jeremy Clyde I DID THAT TOO BEST FRIENDS xD I WENT TO THE BATHROOM OUT OF MATH FUCK MATH xD
Jeremy Clyde lol
Jeremy Clyde lol
I would literally scream if Todrick and pentatonix did a Hamilton cover together
edit: this is my most succesful comment ever, I am shook that the fandom is that present
Maja Odenbom omg yes!!!!!!
YASS QUEEN
I NEED THIS RN
Maja Odenbom that would be amazing
I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW
THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY PERFECT
Most music videos have this surreal feel, because they're played back at the wrong speed, slower than was recorded. When Mitch sings the bridge in this song (at 2:39), it's played back that way.
What I _really_ appreciate about this music video is that everything _else_ is played back _faster_ than normal, which makes the already great choreography look downright superhuman. It's gorgeous.
"The crack between black and white" and there he was, Todrick, bright and colourful like a rainbow!
More proof that Mitch will look good in ANYTHING
It's his face and his hair. It's just, better than literally the entire universe.
TEAM PRESSED LIKE BEFORE IT STARTED
Hey since this totally wasnt uploaded yesterday, that means i havent watched this like 20 times and its socially acceptable to watch this video for another hour.
Incredibly underrated song. This should have been everywhere
Like, for real!!!
How can 949 people honestly not like this. You have 3/5 of Pentatonix with Todrick doing some absolutely AMAZING choreography? And come on, positive as hell? How can you not like this?
0:04 SCOTT RICHARD HOYING, ARE THOSE EYEBROWS I SEE?
Anne Marie 👌
Hahahahaha omg
Anne Marie 😂😂😂😂lmao. 😂😥
.. where?
:O
Correction: ft. Superfruit & Kirstin Maldonado
Candela Kirstin didn't sing in it, she was just in the video, her name is in the description
+PotatoForeman You don't have to pay a lot of attention to hear her singing all along the song (sorry for my english)
+Muneeba Zaman True😂😂 sorry
Candela it literally sounds nothing like Kirstin imo. If it is, her voice has been pitched up.
+
omg... is anyone else feeling Scott in this outfit? and Mitch why does he look good in everything??? Kristen.. kween... Todrick... ugh daddy
* Kirstin
Bob T wait wait wait...... "KRISTEN". No, please no. God. Please. I hate being that person, but Kirstie said herself that all the wrong people say Kristin
Bob T KRISTEN?!
I'm triggered
Haha jk
Absolutely LOVE Kirstie's vocals at the beginning! Todrick's voice carries a super nice melody that's ear candy. Scott and Mitch's voices fit together so perfectly! I can't stop listening!
Mitch killed me with his jawline at the very beginning.
Jade Sturdivant ikr his jawline cut my euyes
Mitch's part is my absolute favourite. The chord progression, the choir in the background, his vocals, just everything😍❤️😩👌🏾
Videos are getting better and better . Much love Todrick. Much love.

"Hey batter batter, hey batter batter swing"
I KNOW I'M 3 MONTHS LATE BUT I USED TO LISTEN TO THAT SONG SO MUCH WHEN I WAS LITTLE
🤣🤣🤣
Love you, Superfruit and friends
Mitch is giving me goosebumps
Anyone else notice that the girls' skirts are based off of Kirstie's hair colour? Nice details.
Alexandra Lee he thinks of everything
Emilie Wouters yup
Alexandra Lee Maybe she dyed her hair like the girl's skirts v: I think that makes more sense
I think it's supposed to be in the video because it's black and white
Or maybe her hair is based off of the skirt...hmmm
Wow High School Musical has changed 😂
It did 😂
Midnight Fandoms In a good way ofcourse :)
BTS TRASH ARMY is everywhere! 😂❤
Scott never got to be in it so here she is now 😂
Midnight Fandoms im an ARMY
Love kirstie's hair here!!
IF MY SCHOOL HAD THESE UNIFORMS I'D BE LIKE SIGN ME THE FRICK UP
MUSICK_SKELE they look like something out of an anime
You know it isn't going to happen bc *cough* tHe SkIrt hAs To bE bElOw KneE lEnGtH
Concerned Furry at my school the uniform skirts are mid-thigh level
? I would not like that. Skirts were too high for me.
Hahaa come to England study college if you are under 18.... our uniform are all similarly like this😂
Obsessed with Mitch's part 😍😍
Mitch's voice does something to me 😍
MITCH'S VOICE IN HIS VERSE OH MY LORRRDDDD
I fall in love with Mitch every time I watch this, his solo “verse” is AMAZING
Yeah. I've just barely begun tapping into Todrick (so far he's been epic), and I realize the whole song is dealing with conformity and how society crushes dreams... but it's so peppy and catchy I let myself overlook it.
Then Mitch comes in and the entire timbre changes into something cold and world-weary and it's like a fucking knife to the chest.
Todrick, "Kirstie you can dance in your part. Scott and Mitch just clap, sing and look pretty."
I.am.officially.obsessed.
Esther Ottens SAMMMEE
MITCH GRASSI IS FUCKING PERFECTION AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME DIFFERENTLY!!
YESSSSSSSSSSS ALL OF MY FAVES
Please who is watching this in 2020 🙋🏽♀️...I mean how come I didn’t see this for 3 damn years 🤔
I am wondering this myself?! Where the eff was I?!
We all have too much time on our hands now with everything shut. Even the pubs are shut. Restaurants and cafes are only doing takeaways and deliveries. Plus we are running out of ICU beds.
I too 😂
... same 😆✨
I'm watching in 2024.
I’m living for Mitch rn. 😍😍😍😍
i am shooketh.
Scott's too tall to be wearing knee high socks, so they're just shin high socks if that even makes sense
Rainbow Doge omg I just noticed that😂😂😂
Pun intended
😂😂
Had to go back and re-watch the video and now I can't stop laughing XD He's like a giant compared to all the other dancers.
Stut up
This song is my theme song! It describes every kid in school's life!!! My family and my teachers all say the same thing, "You can dream just be realistic with the dreams"
There's an entire group of models now who as kids said "I wanna be a mermaid!" and were told "well you can't really do that" and are now doing awesome photo shoots in gorgeous mermaid tails. If it doesn't exist, make it exist.
If you can imagine it, it exists in one form or another. Just gotta focus and make it solid.
Mitch said in an interview that he was bullied in school because of his high pitched voice but imagine the bullies seeing this today be like 🤯🤯
Yesss! Eat iiiiit! Lol
Those bullies be like: "that's gay"
Superfruit & Todrick: " . . . Okay and??"
Mitch is a beautiful human being
Just came from reacting / watching the deluxe edition of Straight Outta Oz. All I can say is im amazed
School boy Mitch gets me Everytime 😂😍😍😍
I Hate You song I hate you
I am going to be friends I love you so I can wait. It's like they the song that you made well and I love you do you love me cuz you like you're the best Wendy's when my friends my house is number 1930
I'm sorry I meant to say I love you in the face why
princess. I love this part okay don't step out
Andrew Dikens the flight or fight last night I love that place
Could people please start appreciating how beautiful their voices were instead of complaining about the title? Her name is in the description.
This used to say featuring "Pentatonix" then changed to Superfruit and Kristen, then Kristen was taken out and only mentioned in the description.. but now shes not even on there. 😢
SHE SLAYED THIS SONG.. she came in so strong, and her harmonies are beautiful. ❤
To think...Kirstie is the only straight one here.
Rainbow Unicorn - Actually, there are rumours going around that Kirstin is bisexual. There is nothing wrong with that either way, but I thought I'd let you know. Xx
Faith Chambers - I'm pretty sure she's just an ally, she and the boys have called her that many times. I think the rumors only occurred because of that picture of her kissing Natalie (and a couple other girls from time to time), but I'm 100% sure that was just platonic, Kirstin is a very affectionate person and many people kiss their friends
@@apc2851 Yeah I told myself I just wanted to kiss girls platonically too and then I learned my parents were wrong when they said "bisexuals don't actually exist" :P
It's funny that they all like dudes
Is she 😋😜
Mitch solo is everytging.
Platinum blonde dude is giving me life. (No, I'm not talking about Scott.)
BuiltForTheWeekend Chester Lockhart!
BuiltForTheWeekend oh my godd Same
BuiltForTheWeekend Chester
same omg
u talkin bout draco malfoy?
My Favorite Part is 0:00 - 3:54
Same!!
Who are the incredible dancers other than Todd, Kirsten, Mitch and Scott?
They were incredible to watch.
You know that had to take a couple of months to get it down that good!!
mitch's voice is out of this world. A QUEEN.
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
If this doesn't explain the whole school system, I don't know what does 💔 it's a shame that schools just turn us into robots 🙋🏾
What no I like School I am weird right?
Oh no my schools lovely but like four mean teachers went through two ugh....
Random Things
* whistles the chorus of "Another Brick In The Wall" to self *
Yeah plus not just school but certain perception of people in general as well. First hand struggle with my own mom. So this song carries a big meaning for me.
MITCH'S LITTLE SOLO GOT ME SO #SHOOK
Scotts voice is very soulful I love it
Mitch's solo🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍
Why is Scott always holding an imaginary baby? Especially when he riffs.
The Cami Diaries 😂😂😂😂😂
The Cami Diaries BAHAHAHAHA
😆
He's thinking about Mitch :333
He's holding Green Wallplant Grassi-Hoying 😂
Love the song...
Please add it on spotify!!! 😍😍
this is too catchy for me I love it
All of them could be models. Beautiful!
ahhh Mitch is so adorable here in this video
lol imaging todrick and pentatonix coming to your school and doing this
XD It would be perfect
Thats the day I can die in peace
I love SF and you. This is makes me smile omg💟 new fav. Black&White🕺🏻🕺🏾
when the upbeat vibe of this song is so contrasting to the meaning
IT'S STILL A BOP THOUGH
Officially requesting a new Glee with them. WHY THE HELL NOT !?
I love Mitch's solo. But this song is the best song ever
IN LOVE WITH THIS VIDEO AND SONG 😍😍😍😍😍
Mitch looks AMAZING. SLAY GURL
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It paints a perfect picture of our schools! BREAK OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! Nods going to Toderick Hall and the entire cast!!!
Loved Mitch's part 😍🎶
MITCH FUCKING VOICE CAN BRING SOMEBODY BACK FROM THE DEAD!!
To everyone saying that Kirstie isn't singing:
1º You can see her lip-syncing.
2º Why would anyone hire a singer to appear in a video if they weren't going to sing?
And 3º and most important, *you can clearly hear her voice*
Hope this will solve some misunderstandings!
David Cas Why would you say you can see her lip syncing but then say you can hear her singing
This song is underated the chorography is on point the vocals are spectacular and the lyrics are so relatable and catchy....altogether its a pure vibe ❤❤💞
Wow to Todrick's voice! (and obviously to Kirsten, Mitch and Scott). Feat Superfruit and Kirstie Maldonado.
randomly had the "left right right left right left" part stuck in my head for days now and had no idea where it was from until I was determined to find out now and I was absolutely not expecting it to be from this, bc I probably haven't listened to this song in like 5 years haha
This describes the 1940's and 1950's perfectly, when it came to kids and teens ideas and just speaking in general.
I can relate to this so much. My new favorite song :) so many great voices in this songs you are stunning. Keep being awesome.
Gratuitous Mitch solo at 2:40
I love the message this song is spreading...you're amazing todrick and I can't wait till the day they're making documentaries about you
I need a longer verse from Mitch 😭😭😭
This guy is talented point blank period, his music is inspirational to EVERYONE or at least it should be...shouts out to Superfruit
DREAM BIG AND GRIND HARD!!!!😎
Am I the only one wondering how it is up for only 45 minutes, yet Scott was all over it yesterday?!
Chantal de Boer he actually did post it yesterday because I got a notification from his channel
Chantal de Boer i saw it just before i watched this... but how can this happen? that the other ptx channel has it first???
Mitch's lil white boy bop is once of my favorite things
Lil white bop ❤😂
Lol, lil white boy bob.
why is it superfruit when kirstie's in it too im lost
Emma Weisensel She is singing right at the beginning and at 3:17
She DID sing in this. Her name was in the title yesterday though. Strange
She is definitely singing. You can hear her all the way through.
Emma Weisensel She is without a doubt singing. That's why everybody's so confused. I'm also fairly certain that the original video posted had her name in the title, but it was taken down and reposted in it's current form (idk why).
She sings
Mitch singing the bridge 😭😍
I love this song mitch is so beautiful and sings so well
