"When you're in a relationship that is stuck at it's lowest point. The days are so long. But you have no desire for it to change. You get used to it and you accept it."
10 years later and it’s still soooo good.
Still one of my favorite pieces of choreography i've ever seen. Just brilliant on so many different levels.
I completely agree...just stunning
I completely agree...just stunning
It's been 11 years and I still find myself coming back to this sometimes. Thank you, Emma and Matt!
still one of my favorite pieces of art to this day
This is what I always tell people, dance isn't always about the turns and the tricks. It's about the creativeness and the artist aspect of it. The way you show the emotion. Amazing numbers can be the simplest choreography.
So many years later I come back and just adore this piece. Stunning.
It's 2015 and this is still one of the greatest things ever created.
it's 2016 now and this still applies
It's 2017 now and it's still the greatest dance
Kristin Lewis It's 2018 and Boom! Still beyond amazing.
2018 and a few months... just keeping tally. Still incredible! I’ll be back I a few months to reiterate...
2020 & doing good!
I have danced for 22 years. Broken every toe, stretched every muscle, felt every ake and pain a dancer can feel,
I have also felt the bliss of feeling as though your body has become the framing of a sound/word/ energy. My limbs laying , draped over the music.
The sound holding me together, not vica versa ,
I have felt that Devine grace , where body and vibration become one union.
Where we are of no significance, yet we are essential,
to the forming of the moment.
I have felt that feeling.
In this piece they ride the sound as if it were made to form there shape.
It’s exquisite.
And it brings me back to the moments I have felt just that present and aligned.
Amazing!!! I have seen thousands of dance videos, but seldom does a heart also go with the image.
This is full of heart.
I tip my hat to the entire journey it took to make this video.
It’s truly a thing of beauty. Divinely channeled from life’s most delicate , and most fierce form.
The human body.
I am in awe.
Thank you dancers. Your work does not go unseen.
This video inspired me to begin dancing again 4 years ago. It still holds a special place in my heart and still watch it often. Thank you Matt and Emma for creating the most amazing pieces of work.
The whole time I just kept thinking, "this is unreal."
That such human inclinations and feeling can be captured in gesture....I-just. gah..
I have no more words
Art in motion. I know this is almost 10 years old but I always come back to it. ENCHANTING, INSPIRING, POWERFUL.
I cry all the time, this dance and song is so beautiful.
Revisiting this clip again after a year or so of looking at it. Mesmerising thanks for creating!
Same. It’s been a while since I last saw it and I just watched it about five time in a row.
I love how one little touch sets the other dancer's body into motion. So many intricacies in the choreography. Beautifully danced you two. Bravo!
Emma Portner is one of the hottest dancers on the New York City scene. Her company Flock'd will soon be doing a world tour starting in Europe.
I once said that dancers, like myself, have the privilege of holding , then framing sound.
That it is as if we rest our souls on shapes and vibration of the musical artist.
In the grace of this dance, I’m transported through feeling.
Truly, truly phenomenal.
2015 and still amazing choreography, just time watching this and wow just wow
I like this version of the song better than the original tbh. Didn’t even know this song existed really until I saw this video.
I must cry every time i see this!.... amazing.... how big must be this love...!!
you'd think watching it over and over it would lose it's emotion, but I feel it more each time I watch.
This choreography is so beautiful, amazing, tender und subtle. I really love the way they work with the tempo of their moves and the beautiful language of the dance. Thank you so much for this piece of art. It was inspiring and an pleasure for myself. Greetings from Germany.
For inspiration in my choreographic work, I played Tunglio by Olafur Arnolds over this video, and the goosebumps came alive and basically jumped off my skin for most phrases.
Not that I don't love the music. I love everything that happens in this 3&1/2 minutes of genial stimulation and cinematographic perfection.
This never fails to give me chills.
I can't stop watching this. Seriously, they're both absolutely magnetic.
I showed this piece to my dancers...it is so unique, so tender...perfectly executed...hard and soft at the same time. and...it touches me, even after seeing it 20 times.
Their subtlety speaks volumes.
I thank god for dancers like you, you guys just shined the light into my eyes and the love for dance in my heart, making me want to burst into tears of the beauty that i am watching.
What in incredible quality both dancers have..
Just keep coming back to watch this. It's soooo good and really tells a story. I love it soooooooooooooo much.
I've never commented on a video before but I had to on this one - it's been 4 years since I first saw this video and I still keep coming back to it frequently: on bad days, on good days, on days where I need a cheering up. Today was one of those days, and this video never fails to make my chest feel a little lighter and it all a little warmer. Thank you for that; I think it takes the best sort of art to do that. :)
After watching this some 40 times in the last couple of weeks I think it would be fair to leave a comment: this for me is perfection. The choreography, the dancers, the song, poetry in motion.
absolutely beautiful you two. matt, i feel so proud to see how much you have grown since 2005. ugh. i love you.
The movement and emotion in this piece is seriously incredible.
This makes me excited for my existence and all the things to come. Can't stop watching.
It's the kind of thing that makes me feel somthing inside. its more then a dance! love it!
What a phenomenal dance, their musicality was astounding
One of the most moving pieces of dance I have every seen. It is extraordinary.
OMG shivers down my old tired dancer body ! marvellous.
Honestly 0:14 is the best part of the entire dance.
Such effortless choreography. Obsessed.
I could watch that a thousand times over and not get even a hint of boredom.
This is where I get my inspiration to dance. They are just amazing.
I honestly believe that dance is an art that can transport you somewhere else entirely. And I felt this all the way. Thank you.
Came here for the music; left stoked on how beautiful that dance was... did I say left? I meant round 2!!
Oh. I was not expecting this to stir something within my soul. Thank you.
1:28 - 1:50 ..chillss..this is some of the best choreography i've ever seen.
After watching this for the fifteenth time I decide to share with friends. I copy the info and paste into an e-mail. This pasted along with it:
"When you're in a relationship that is stuck at it's lowest point. The days are so long. But you have no desire for it to change. You get used to it and you accept it."
It took my breath away. My life recently was this. Change it. Don't accept. Life is too short. Wipe the tears away and take life on. Time Heals, Life WILL be better. BEAUTIFUL video.
amazing! They look like flawless dolls ( in a good way ) who dance with such grace!
Wow I'm speechless...
I watched this every night before I went to sleep while working on my last creative project. That's a compliment and slight embarrassment to me since my last project was only finished today....anyways! I found that this dance inspired me to create something as uniquely captivating. Ten gold points in my books. From your biggest fan.
shattered. i need more.
I could watch this over and over and never get bored.
Pretty much the way I think but cant express sometimes. Devine.
i have watched this video every day, at least twice a day for the last 3 weeks... thank you for sharing your talent with the world. it's things like this that remind me why i dance. absolutely beautiful.
The entire senior company at my studio was completely silent while we watched this. The music was truly like listening to them move. Thank you for the inspiration. This is art!
Cannot explain the love for this dance
The song and the dance= PERFECTION❤️ I love the song! A little change from the original from Bruce Springsteen but a beautiful change❤️
this is one of the most incredible dances I've ever seen!
Loved the choreography, so tender, deliberate, fervent...amazing
why.have.I.never.seen.this.before?BEAUTIFUL.
Stunning.
I'm pretty sure I watch this at least once a day. Your work (Matt Luck, Emma Portner, and Emily Shock) inspires me so much to just want to choreograph no matter if I'm sore, sick, tired, or whatever. Just lovely.
Still so in love with this
oh my god. I am lost for words.
absoutely love this dance it just left me speechless, it was literally a piece of work and an inspiration to all dancers! Am I the only one who got chills while watching this!?
I actually watch this 24/7 I love it!
I always find myself speechless after every time I watch this.
vous etes si touchantes! je vous regarde en boucle et je suis tellement ému, bravo la version de Yael Naim!!!
So amazing. I don't think I've ever felt more attached to a video focused on dance
HERMOSO.Gracias
can't start a fire without a spark; this gun's for hire.. even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Im speechless.
Thank you for being the inspiringly talented and beautiful people that you are.
I can honestly say that this is one of the best peices of choreography I have ever seen, and I have danced and watched dance since I was three. On top of that, the dancing is impeccable. This is so inspirational. Thank you.
this is amazing. People are obsessed with Dance Moms, but don't know that there are people who should be famous who are better than them and aren't. This is absolutely beautiful.
WOW! Love their style!
Speechless.
One of my all-time favorites! It's mesmerizing and artful. Great song choice.
I feel compelled to mention that it is a lovely song by Bruce Springsteen - and I expect he would be mightily pleased to see it interpreted so beautifully.
this is a masterpiece
Breathtaking...flawless...
Just incredible.
