This is the reason why the arts must be in our schools. There are certain things that just can't be expressed any other way.
This was so moving! My son took his own life back in January. We saw NOTHING to let us know that he was hurting so much! Then, in August, my daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids took me to the ER. They lost me for a bit and had to give me Narcan. We are all crumbling from losing my son, and I made them see something they never should have seen!
Sometimes I think to myself; how I am lucky to be alive at the same time as you, Derek, and to be able to witness the masterpieces you create. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for caring. I know you hear it all the time but you really are a great inspiration to humanity. Thank you for your authenticity, vulnerability and empathy.
wow, way to be "that girl." did hummingbirdbutterfly in any way say it was derek's? nope. but yeah keep up the unnecessary online hate. (thumbsup)
One of the most beautiful & rawest dance performances I’ve ever seen. Connor, young man you are something special. Thank you for sharing your story. So moving!! 💞Derek thank you for creating a song like this and caring enough to try and bring awareness to depression & suicide prevention. Also giving this young man a platform to express himself in such a powerful way. Bravo to all involved. Tessandra -Just wow. 💕💕😘 Stephanie!! 👏👏👏
Connor Gormley was incredible in this. I felt every emotion from every dance move and expression. This dance was heartbreakingly beautiful and breathtaking.
Suicide has touched my life through friends who committed suicide...& others who attempted but survived...you all out there aren't alone...suicide doesn't stop things from getting worse, it stops things from getting better. Thanks Derek for doing this video. 💜
Thank you for absolute truth. Many police departments across the country are being trained to help defuse a possible suicide. Now if only they could add your advisement to their curriculum. "Suicide doesn't make things easier. It just stops things from getting better." I wish I had a dollar for every time I've seen police answering a call on a suicidal in full on intent. Those officers come in yelling at them saying "What lead you up to this crisis today", and three officers loud questions of this type while surrounded by three other officers also yelling help the individual in full on panic, feeling completely worthless and unhinged who can no longer trust their own minds are pulled off the ledge in with this aggressive behavior? First responders, they don't need to ask tone deaf questions like "What lead up to your decision or what's going on?"
Beauty in raw form! I could simply watch this expression of sadness through dance over and over. Beautiful ❤️
So i have nothing to do with dancing... i listen to metal an go in tthe pit... i draw and writing books... dont listen to this style of music... but... this is art... and it inspired me... art is something that comes from the artis himself... and i can feel it
Your comment caught me off guard in the best way possible. Your curious nature and willingness to gain more insight into bigger things than yourself is the defining factor that will inform your future. It's a different kind of intelligence that you've been blessed with. Cultivate it. Don't grow stagnant and any solid moral ground you form, stand on it. It's the bedrock of our minds, our emotions, all guided by truth. Thank you for keeping your eyes open and your soul intact as you use discernment on what is truth between good and evil.
I can’t stop watching this!! It truly touches me every time I watch it. Such raw emotion, beautifully executed movements.
Beautiful and displays the complicated emotions of grief. The feeling of abandonment, the guilt, the deepest need for comfort who is willing to absorb it all without empty placating or offering their own story. This dance shows it all...his desperation to find answers, learning to depend on something/someone bigger than himself and returning to the woman who has struggled to support him and now realizing she, too can be a safe haven. It's possible that the dance reflects our need for God when we've reached the end of ourselves.
I just saw this for the first time, and it tore my heart out, thank you for being so brave, Connor, to share your story! The dancing and rawness of your emotions was felt by me like I was hit in the chest, it took my breath away!
I was the one who tried to leave this life, I really felt there would be no one who would truly notice, and if they did, it wouldn’t affect them that much- but your story and this dance with Derek made me see that no one is truly forgotten, and the hole left in people’s hearts never really heals- I don’t want to cause anyone pain, like I see in your story. I’m sorry that happened to you, and thank you for carrying on and sharing this beauty from your soul to the world!
Thank you for not giving up! Keep pushing :)
This is beautiful, touching, moving, emotional and heart wrenching all at once.😭😭 💜💜💜
CHAPEAU to Connor! 🎩 WOOW! Speechless 😶
And also big thumbs up to Stephanie and Derek . MASTERPIECE ! ✨✨✨✨
Derek Hough is flawless...he is always a pleasure to watch
Like I’m so speechless I don’t know what to say
DERAK I HAVE WHATCHED YOU DANCED PATIONATLY FOR MANY YEARES THIS WAS ONE OF THE RAWEST PERFORMANCES I LOVED IT I LOVE ❤️ AND NOW THIS YOU TY HUGSCAND KISSES ALWAYS TINA FROM CALIFORNIA
..... Nothing but chills 😢😢
This is truly beautiful, the story, the dance, the heart, the soul and more importantly the love. ❤️
Sunny S. i agree but i couldn’t help but notice your profile picture of shawn lol
This is beautiful. A tragic story that’s beautifully told. My heart aches for everyone who has had to go through something like this. Hold on.
People don't just go through things like that they are put through things like that. Imagine being a war vet with ptsd coming home made homeless thrown out like garbage or an abused girl also just treated like garbage their whole lives how do they find any beauty or sense in going on living when you know it's going to get worse not better? People talk anti abortion anti suicide but they don't have to live those peoples lives either.
This is so beautiful while sad. Very heartfelt. I have lost some of my closest people to suicide and it is very painful. But like the song’s title and deep meaning, we must hold on and be there for each other and show there is a light to the darkness. And never give up on each other and always love.
To feel alone in these emotions is the worst. This song brought to life the struggle to keep going on.
When Derek walked out and danced with the guy. OMG soooo powerful. That was amazingly beautiful and the story, goodness.
Absolutely beautiful... Mental illness is real ... And it's not talked about enough..I almost lost my 19 year old to suicide...and I had no clue he was in so much pain... I thought he was doing great..he had a job.. Living with his two friends in their apartment.. dating.. living life like a 19 year old should...but how wrong I was..I learned my son would be up for days at a time.. or sleeping for days ..it was either or... and to cover up his feelings he would smoke weed..(which in our state it's legal) ..and drink on top of it... He kept it hidden from his family especially me and his dad... Thank goodness I was off work that day ...he could of died..thank God he let me in and I'm so thankful to God that I still have my son....does he still struggle with depression..sleep disorders and mental illness of course.. probably for the rest of his life..but now I'm aware and I know the signs...since that day he's made a promise that he would call everyday, that he would stay on his meds and see his counselor and that he would stop drinking..I tried to get him to stop the weed but after talking to ppl about it I'm not as concerned about it as I was..it does calm him down and helps with sleep and depression..his doctor actually said he rather him be on that than sleeping meds..so he now has a card and it's legal for him...
This video hit home to me..it took me back to that day seeing blood running down his arms and tears down his face yelling at me that he didn't care nor did he want to live...that life was too hard..
I couldn't imagine losing my son... He's my world..my heart and soul... Mental illness is real and it needs to be focused on more than what it is... Our children, are dying and there isn't much being done to stop it...wake up ppl...I know I did... together we can make a difference..it starts with you!!
Oh my, maybe I shouldn't have watched that at work. So moving. Mercy. Just the words to describe how I feel is so far beyond my comprehension.
WOW!!!! I am still in tears, streaming down my face..minutes after watching this amazing piece of art!!!!I watched this 5 times in a row....the whole time crying, and just in awe at the mastery!!!!Beautiful, moving, soul stirring, heart wrenching, and AMAZING!!!!!
Beautiful. Heartbreaking... but beautiful.
Very powerful
I saw this before and I was heartbroken
I really love this video and this song means so much to me and my family because in 2016 we lost our little boy he was eight and a half years old to a genetic disorder and we watched him take his last breath. Even tho your story doesn't exactly follow ours the song and yalls dancing does, it does touch something so deep and so emotional with us. And you're an amazing dancer Connor and having Derek there too puts the icing on the cake cuz he's an awesome dancer y'all tell a story. I would love to watch y'all dance in person and can see the Story from beginning to end even though sometimes the ending is still writing itself. I just wish I could dance with so much emotion and express how I feel so I have so much respect for you all and you don't know how hard this is for me trying to say this because I'm in tears cuz I'm an awe of your story your performance and it is bring this back everything we went through with our son his name is Jacob.
Hold on to your wonderful memories with your dad ❤️ It shows in your dance.
I am speechless.... You guys & gal are remarkable angels & talents. This is a very heart-touching story. You guys made me shed tears. The world heard you... And truely thank you for sharing the messages thru' the dance 💖. You all are well-loved. God bless you all !
This hits home..... My uncle was a Vietnam vet and he recently (this past year) took his life. No warning. Just made peace with everything. His wife said that he got off the phone with my sister he was okay she thought he went up stairs locked the door and did it...... I can't imagine what he was going through. What he saw during those times......
Derek, this song resonated with me in a very deep way. My life, my childhood, was nothing but darkness except for that tiny spark of light that was my mom. That someone like you could bring understanding and hope with this video. Please, keep making them.
Connor I just want to say thank you for sharing your story it takes such how do I say is bravery and I don't want you to take it the wrong way but it does. And your dancing it's so emotional and raw and beautiful at the same time. Derek Hough would be so proud of the sharing your story and dancing to this song because you are showing a side of yourself probably not many get to see. Be true to who you are and you're an amazing young man.
It’s like 1:30 in the morning and I’m crying. . . . So devastatingly beautiful.
Thank you Derek for your beauty, your caring, your ability to share your heart and soul through your choreography, music and dance. A very special thank you to Connor Gormley for being so incrediblity brave by sharing your very personal and heart-wrenching story through both word and the beauty of your dance. 💗💙💗💚💗💛💗💜💗
Wow, so powerful and poignant!
My heart cried
I still watch this in 2019. A great story and lesson, and music.
Ugh, man! That hit me in the heart!😭 So powerful! I'm so thankful Derek did this video! So beautiful and powerful! Way to go!♥️
Oh my gosh you are so amazing. The creativity is endless. I love this😍
What is even more heartwrenching is that his dad was such a jerk that he told his son beforehand like he could do anything to stop it, how terrifying that must have been for him!!
WOW! This is... WOW!
Thank you... I have no words to say something more ❤
Thank you Connor for sharing your personal experience. It was hard to listen but it is a sad reality that we need to speak up and share. So thank you. Thank you Tessandra for your vision of what this piece means as we watched and felt the pain and the hope of others reaching out to help. This dance is a masterpiece! Thank you Stephanie and Connor for doing this beautiful, incredible and breathtaking dance! It deserves a gold medal!
Powerful and beautiful. A perfect blend of the art of singing and the art of dance.

This is beautiful.. I cried watching this. Thanks Derek for talking about the issues we as a society ,are too scared to address. This video speaks volumes . Thank you thank you🙏
This is so touching to me. I almost lost 2 friends to suicide, and I am so glad they didn't. I would have been so broken inside had they done it. I still worry about one of them, but I am helping him through his sadness. Showing him that I dont want to lose him. Derek, you are very talented in singing and dancing, please continue putting your talent like this video because its inspiring no matter how sad it maybe
Wow. Amazing!!!!

Props to Connor and good one Stephanie
This is so inspiring to watch and learn the story behind it. That we can get from watching the beautiful piece that brought tears to my eyes. Even though I am going through a rough time myself that it shows that I’m not the only one dealing with situations that everyone goes through. I wish I can learn to dance this piece to express this at my schools dance shows. It’s so empowering.
So amazing and inspirational. Cried.
Wow! Stunning and powerful message. Thank you for sharing your talents to bring this important message forward. 🙏
