Same. 10 years later and i still get goosebumps listening to this
Yeah
This is the price you have to pay to retain your authenticity. I often come back to this to remind myself.
Cherechi Osisioma good to remember that
I bawl.. its hard but you gotta choogaloog
But authenticity is so illusive. How do I choose which pathway leads to my authentic self?
CrazyCrux Go with your gut. Listen to your feelings. Does it feel right? Does it feel authentic? Are you following your dreams? Are you expressing yourself freely?
@@CrazycruxGaming stop lying to yourself. Stop practicing tacit approval. Correct your posture. Always look in people's eyes.
I sacrificed my job, my health, my sanity, love, to go all the way. Mind you, It's not something for the faint of heart. But Was it worth it in the end? Absolutely..
Same.
And the ride? Crazy. Should have started years ago.
I went all the way and she gave me 20 minutes. Don't worry I'm going to roll a piano up her street
For what? Pls share the specific
Tell us how it ended
On the same path.
"Isolation is the gift.."
👍
in my case a curse.
you get what you project i guess
The more I go all the way on my path, the better I understand this verse.
It's just a test of your endurance.
❤️🔥
“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think
I'm not going to make it
but you laugh inside
remembering all the times you've felt that way”
❤️🔥
~ Charles Bukowski 😎
this gives me shivers. god bless a broken man.
I think this poem just changed my life.
Right?! I had been mulling over a tattoo for years and this hit me so hard. At a crossroads too. Perfect timing.
that's bukowski for ya lol. First heard this 3 years ago, and it still makes me cry like a baby
Jeff S Hey! what's your tattoo then?
Yeah. Heart can do that. And this is some Heart stuff wright there :)
I got “go all the way” in script on my inner bicep. A daily reminder to keep going. I read it in the voice from the video haha
"Isolation is a gift". At first I thought only crazy people loved to be alone. And I tried. And I understood that it was the first time of my life I really be myself. It feels like all my life, I lived what people want me to be. Thanks Bukowski and this vidéo who opened my heart and soul!
"a man can be himself only so long as he is alone
if he does not love solitude
he will not love freedom
if he does not love freedom
is he truly free?"-Arthur Schopenhauer
@@thevashfan12392 Thank you for sharing that.
Life starts for you once your dreams die.
"You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is."
I love this part.
Whatever it is, do it and go all the way. It might seem nothing to others but it is something to you. That's all that matters.
THe way Buk wrote is a little bit different. This version is the tamed martinized version.
Original : roll the dice
if you’re going to try it, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t get into it.
if you’re going to try it, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or
4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail, alcoholism.
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
the isolation is the gift,
all the other is a test of your
guts,
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
against total rejection and the
highest of odds
but it will be better than doing
anything else
you can think of.
if you’re going to try it,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
it.
you will be alone with the
gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way.
all the way.
you will ride death straight to
hell,
your perfect laughter,
the only good fight
now.
Thank you. Very good movie.
Really good. Btw the poem is called Roll The Dice.
It is mentioned at the end of the video
And in the description ;-)
Left Jehovah’s Witnesses after finding out about the corruption and child abuse coverups ......now shunned by friends and loved ones for past 2 years .........after pain came a wonderful freedom
Well done Carol Xmas , those who dont want to see the truths are the sheep following the pack leader . Stay strong and make your own path .🙂😺💚✌🙏
Jehovah witnesses are a false religion. Dont trust in mens, they will let you down and do bad things, look to Jesus and trust and belive in him with all of your heart. Return to Jesus, trust in him alone and he will be there for you in every problem you are facing. He died for you, that's how much he loved you. Jehovah witnesses don't belive this, but there is a hell and we all need to repent from our sins and trust in Jesus! Pray, Read God's Word and fast, We're all bad people and he is the only one that can save us from hell.
God bless you brother with eternal life through Jesus Christ, his Son, Lord and our Saviour. Amen.
Such an outstanding piece of poetry, I will be forever grateful for the person who sent me this and reminded me to keep going all the way, no matter what, you’ll always be special to me ♥️.
I wonder if we got all the people who went all the way who left comments on this who really know what he's talking about we got us all together could we make any difference
How a few linked words gets you up. Such a eternity brings you just a short sentences.
Wow. This is life changing if applied. Wow. Listen twice daily. Have a goal. A plan. And believe. Listen to this. Achieve.
This is possibly the best video on the Internet
This is art therapy... art as therapy!
Thank you, both of you!
Laura Ciocoiu I like your comment! Thank you :-)
Willem Martinot I like your art :)
+Laura Ciocoiu What would be life without art? Through art I managed to save my humanity
+ΣΚΡΟΥΤΖ ΜΑΚ ΝΤΑΚ Beauty will save the world! Beauty in all the way...
Laura Ciocoiu yes it is the best inspiring therapy ever to become who we really are,
..all though it seems not many people seem to get it..
Going all the way has absolutely nothing to do with how much junk and garbage you have to shovel out of the way to get there. Suffering is the spice of life not safety and comfort.Forcing yourself to do something you don’t want to do every day like a cold shower. It seems a bit dark and dingy first, but every time you win you build your own character and your own confidence and you will be with the Gods and perfect laughter. One of the things that I love is thinking about how I didn’t wanna do something that I knew I had to do and once having done it that feeling of power…
English isn't my native language, as a matter of fact my native language is not even close to English. All of my grammar professors taught me, that the best way to perceive books (and art in general) is by reading it (or grasping it) in your own native language.
But when I read some the work this man has left to the world, I don't read, I feel.(Which is something that none of the art forms, in my native has done to me)
Bukowski is the most influential soul that has ever floated trough a typewriter.
And this video is just a perfect reflection of his work. I'm proud to say, that non of my professors were right. Art is more than reading (or listening), therefore it doesn't need to be in one's native language, on the contrary it just needs feelings. And this man has engraved his words into mine.
you seem like a cool guy. I love bukowski as well and I feel the same way about feeling his work.
+Drew Glad that you have that opinion. :)
What is your native language?
I have watched this over and over for inspiration. I never get tired of this poem and I love the music and the video. Thank you Tony Anderson, Willem Martinot, Tom O'Bedlam and Charles Bukowski.
+no1uknow Go All The Way. Do it. Do it. Do it. It has to be obsession. It cannot be anything else.
Working towards a big goal at the moment.. I wake up each week day at 4am, have a cold shower and listen to this...
Die unsagbar. Hier wäre C.B. Gast gewesen und du hast mir ohne Worte mein Bier gebracht. Da war alles noch einfach.... Nadine.
I've had this video bookmarked for over a year. Just wanted to say thanks for making this. It is truly fantastic.
I wish I could type more than just THANK YOU.
Combined with Mr. Bedlam and Mr. Anderson, this is so powerful it seems I cannot find the right words.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND MIND
L00B0 K you’re welcome!
Who's still watching this again and again after years?
Again and again
Thank you. My favourite Bukowski poem.
This poem is really uplifting when you think about it in the context of going after your passion or something. but when you think about people who have thoughts about things like murder reading this poem and gets motivated by it, it gets real dark real quick.
I really felt all of that
beautiful and spoken with an very wise message
Never before or since have truer words been spoken, if we are to live by any saying live by this
The dude reading it makes it
Better than it is.
Nah shows how good it is. Bukowski is the best to ever do it..do it do it do it
Clear and concise. The highs and the lows of the price you pay. Beautiful.
Awesome visuals, amazing music, and this poem is just.. Wow. This gave me goosebumps
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you. A gift.
Belief is everything,
For those who believe no proof is necessary
For those who disbelieve no truth is possible
Believe in yourself....
I hear this poem almost every day to make me going for my goals!!
Show this to your first born when he decides to become a writer/musician/painter/sculptor/actor/astronaut
Yes!
I am a sculptor.
I'm on my journey as a musician All The Way 🇯🇲🌠
@@jamesadam2042 you went all the way!
UNSTOPPABLE!!!
This is why I say, passion is useless. Obsession is what you want, it needs to be a mental illness
+thecharlessmith (instagram) hell yes. delusion.
+thecharlessmith (instagram) Dr.House
JoinCrossFire which episode does he say that in?
He doesn't say it! I'm just saying Doctor House! x'D My favorite show and I've seen it 5 times, Start to finish. And all I can say is: That is a key to success, but sheer loneliness. Gregory House would strive to solve problems and fix people, but he never focused too much on himself causing him to push everybody away, his wife, his friends, and his emotions. Great character, so when I see someone saying "passion is useless. obsession is what you want, it needs to be a mental illness." All I can imagine is the Legendary Dr.House
+thecharlessmith (instagram) You understand
Three days ago I broke up with my girlfriend. It's hard but this poem give me the power to go all the way....Thanks sir!
I'm sorry to heard that Peter, but I'm glad this poem gave you some comfort. Take care, Willem
Thank you Willem for your support I really appreciate it.
Hold on, my friend. Keep your mind busy and make new friends. Heal it up!
there is nothing more PAINFUL then breaking up with your girl. IF you really liked her. SHE will never come back and you will never find a girl like her. Been there done that. SHE will always haunt you, as YOUR miserable failure. IF you liked her for real.
this poem isnt for your girlfriend, its for people trying to buy a new car -brian griffin
The footage reminds of walking el camino de santiago through Spain. In fact, I suspect it's from exactly that.
No, this is shot close to Tarifa in the South. El camino is in the north. Also on my bucket list ;-)
@@WillemMartinot Ahh thanks for confirming, I could see it was beautiful Spain anyway. By the way this video is a total masterpiece, possibly my favourite video on youtube. I watch it regularly, thank you
Gracias!!
Awesome. Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing Bukowski's art with this wonderful video of yours.
Could also mean losing platonic friends. They aren't always all that either.
Cinematic! Electric! Beautiful! I love it, and the poem x
WOW! poem AND video....WOW!
One of the most beautiful things I have seen on You Tube. Thank you for sharing this with us
I've been on one hell of a journey and I keep coming back to this when I feel weak. I have to remind myself I'm not done. Not even close. All the way. ALL the way.
Do it brother. All the way. Your not weak. You are amazing and you should know that.
So amazing!! I cried watching it even my 10 time!! 💜🦋🌊🙏
It's so reassuring that I'm not alone in my solitude. Thank you Bukowski.
Majesty...
Absolutely beautiful. Well done, Bravo!
Brilliant! Thank you
This guy Tom O'Bedlam should read every fucking poem. I don't want to hear a poem unless he's reading it.
No shit man this guy is awesome.
" Isolation is the gift "
Life is short do something good - something interesting let this video motivate you. listen to it for 10xs straight if you need to.
I never do anything fun i always think of the money as I've been out of work before and afraid that it may happen again. In April I had to take a weeks worth of vacation. I have been divorced for almost a year and did not know what to do by myself. I was just going to stay at home. But I kept listening to this video and it motivated me to take a trip somewhere and do something. I ended up going to vegas. I saw an excellent show went to the grand canyon pool parties i had a really really good time.
I'm so glad I went. I now have a feeling that If Im out of work tomorrow everything will work out.
music - exactly! I left my marriage and successful business startup at the same time. Isolation is a gift. From there you can get out as you described. Keep going 'music'. At 48 I am better than when I was scared of hitting 40. This poem is the answer.
I almost forgot to watch this video today
I love this.. its inspired me to follow my dreams
+Lea Pasquale not having dreams
Loved this. Blogged about how it came my way, too. Thanks.
“If you’re going to try, go all the way.
Otherwise, don’t even start.
This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind.
It could mean not eating for three or four days.
It could mean freezing on a park bench.
It could mean jail.
It could mean derision.
It could mean mockery - isolation.
Isolation is the gift.
All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it.
And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.
And it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
If you’re going to try, go all the way.
There is no other feeling like that.
You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire.
You will ride life straight to perfect laughter.
It’s the only good fight there is.”
Boy I really hope the right people get the ad money from this
A thousand thanks for this.
"We are all actors, set on the stage of the world, as the curtains open we put on our best performance to this audience of life.”
thank you
Wonderful, love the shots close from the ground.
A modest thank you to the uploader, and my undying gratitude to Mr. Bukowski. I will be here, listening often, that I might accept this affirmation into my being. Here is to the dusting off of the midnight lantern. You've the muses to yourself while the world sleeps.
this is beyond beautiful
This is amazing piece of poetry combined with a fine direction and perfect blend of music! Thank You for bringing the Golden words alive!

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

Some fire's once started can never be cooled.
beautiful & uplifting. a masterpiece of not only poetry but video
perfect
Thank you for making this powerful video. Has given me much unexpected inspiration. I do not have that happen alot. I really relate with this as a struggling musician following his dreams. Reminds me to ride to perfect laughter, and fight the good fight.
This is brilliant
comments are so different. everyone understands it differently
I really needed this amazing work. You have no idea how much difference you've made for me.
I can never thank you enough.
Extreme creativity ... keep it up, Willem ... simply astonishing.
Wow! I am in Love
Wow, everything about this video is beautiful. Bukowski is so amazing... I love him.

Thank you, Nai!
Love it!
Love it all the way :) Poem, Direction, Song, Narrator
This video wouldn't be so epic without Tom's voice. It's so deep, it talks directly to you.
Yes
Bukowski really did this. He gave up his job at 49 to be a full time writer, with no money for food, and the worst possible odds to ever make it.
Mateusz M brought me here !
+Mabrouk Yassir lol... same here, after watching Mateusz M ''The Mind'' i just had to find the Original author of the poem and voicing. My 2016 could not have started any better
lol seriously ❤❤❤
lol seriously ❤❤❤
I have schizoaffective disorder. Been fighting this monster for 20 years now, a monster who's always trying to kill me by suicide. I had to accept and embrace death, because psychosys is having a shotgun pointed to your forehead, everyday. And you say to the guy with the gun "do it, do it, DO IT", defying him to shoot, all to take control of your life again. And i went all the way, i tried all the way to the end, and earned my freedom
live 4 nuthin’ or die 4 everythin’ !
This is perfect. The words, the imagery, and the music are absolutely beautiful together. It is hope in the face of the pain and darkness of life. This is a gift you have given my soul. Thank you. Thank you.
