Billy Barry is amazing. He's so talented and physical. The music is really impressive in the way it adds gravity to everything he does along with itself being a beautiful piece just in general. An excellent production.
This storytelling through movement is just amazing
I feel that the main character represents a modern time Jason (the ancient Greek mythological hero and leader of the Argonauts). He keeps carrying the "weight of gold" as he claimed that "prize" a long time ago. He walks throug various landscapes in search of love and gratitude. Wich also represents the entire burden of humanity. We all grasp to our "prize" untill death! The hero keeps falling because the prise is heavy (in all meanings) and in many times not worth it at all. At one point he removes the golden fleece and starts dancing, because he feels free .. his soul starts to dance ... losing all that weight/burden! But at the end he gets the shivers, because gold is just like drugs ... you need it to survive unfortunately! He puts on the fleece again and goes back to the sea (the cradle of life) and the cycle continues! Just like in our modern society! .... Brilliant video, my friend! Much
Wow, deep. And here I thought he was just going out for a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and A gallon of milk. Heh heh heh.
Just kidding.
What an amazing mind you have. I very much enjoyed reading that.
Have a drink on me bratko 🍺
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I love it
Yes.
This gives my mind the freedom I'm not even sure I deserve
Your mind does tho
I guess youtube sucked me into it's alternative recomendations again
Burial
Only recently discovered Forest Swords. Another CZcams lockdown recommendation. Actually the best recommendations they’ve ever given me
If I was a professor in art or writing, I would have the students analyze this video just so I can read how each person see this. It's just a deep visual poetic story.
He stole my bath mat.
My heart

My god, how can one person be so beautiful?
Your music is so marvellous, I have never discovered such a splendid masterpieces before, thank you!
where have you been all my life my god, love this.
Got the same feeling.
Amazing work, thank you so much... ❤
Something very special & totally intense... ❤❤ ...
Одни из лучших музыкальных видео на мой взгляд.
Шикарная хореография, типаж танцора, актерская игра, постановка кадра, и в целом вся работа, только подчеркивает красоту музыки.
Спасибо большое за глубокие погружения 🥲 один из любимых музыкантов
the way his atmosphere is laid out remind me of this post-black metal act: Echoes of the moon.
its something unique in this kind of music
Everything!
I don't know how describe how this track makes me feel, but I'll just say that I feel extreme calmness
this is like song from another heaven
it's so powerful this video ,is more then just everyone's own journey is about the discovery of the true self and not being afraid manifesting it , is more then expressing an idea is beyond the limits in witch we en-prison our self, it's about letting go and move on, is about just being evolving .
Well said!!!!
your comment hits me hard. I hope you are doing well.
@@whyking0815 o yes ! thank you for the concern .
This is awesome in so many ways. Thanks for giving this to the world. Greetings from Amsterdam! Now I'm off dancing in my living room :)
Love this!! And the video is beautifully done. Love the cinematography
And we would live to love you....
Meee tooo!
Reminds me of my son... 😭😭
My two cents on this video: the guy (young, lean) came from the sea, wearing fur/pel/animal skin, so I thought that could be related to the selkie lore, once he wears that skin the whole time, also, as in the legends he undresses so he dances, what also could be taken as an expression of lust (as show in the last convulsions), as well he walks near the humans, but don't actually belongs to that place, and in the end, he returns to sea.
Title + Wearing a golden garb... The weight of the power is lifted when he removes the garb..... Are aliens real?
Dude can move ! 💕
I'm in tears
Beautiful place
Me siento libre! Gracias ❤️
If Blood Angels of the IXth Legion were real, I'd expect that they were this beautiful.
That was amazing
Wonderful !!
is that covering he's wearing maybe supposed to be the golden fleece? it'd make sense to me with the song being named "Weight of gold" and the freedom the guy seems to feel when he removes it followed by convulsions, perhaps the fleece representing wealth/money and power as it was Jason's path to kingship?...idk
It's called "dancing", but anyways... *art* is subjective.
I don't know what reference you're making. Like some Bible story??
Spot on. Nice observation
hmm
it is an approximation of the dance of Shiva.
Brilliant, amazing video
Performance of art
very atmospheric music and videos
Wow...awesome.
Great work.
And it lets space open
for anyone
to interpret it on his own way.
БОже, это совершентство. Это бесконечная эфйория. Это экстаз. Почему такие музыкальные шедевры не имеют многомиллионных просмотров? горите в аду те кто поставил 45 дизлайков.
потому что они умом не доросли до таких шедевров:)
Extra ordinary!
Great music
the boy is at manic att the audio canvas …!!! happy to find the sword in the woods @forestswords
Excellent Track 👍👍👍
Amazing plastic and outstanding music...Honey for eyes and ears. Primal beauty of man body
Awesome title, says it all.
Quel magnifique message
Wonderful! Love seeing such a nice video for one of my favorite songs
Moody Age of Mythology feel that just touches my soul
I heard this on a red bull extreme sports thing. It stayed with me until I now redescoverd it. An absolute vibe
Can you send me a link to the video?
I had to share you on Gab.. this is amazing.
I love it
This is just... wow
wow!
have listen it for now whole month, occasionally
J'adore ...............
What an Orbital-esque feeling. Loving it.
was listening to his discography on Spotify and The Box was on just before as it's on his DJ-Kicks. It's hard to deny the similarities in this track if you hear them back to back ;-)
beautiful work!
i'm feeling extra empowered by the graffiti at 1:45, ״תחת״
Super and magic
богии, какой ритм!! какой видеоряд!... ох, эта инопланетная пластика танцора! в сочетании с музыкой и бомбическим пейзажем - это просто нечто! восторг!!
Синкопический ритм, но дело не только в сенкопах. Есть сюжет, состояние души всё гармонично переплетено в ритме музыки и монтажа. Некое сходство музыки с её ритмами и танцем у костра как в культуре индейцев) Образ главного персонажа отшельника словно ищущего для своей души выход после пережетого им разочарования ) Одна из версий трактовки сюжета
Aliya Kudayarova там выше в коммах на англ описали сюжет. Это Ясон я золотом руне. Трэк называется "вес золота".
This song hits me like a thousand galaxies inside one hammer.
Hasta Luego!!out of sight.
ENCHANTING ❣️
I love the title of the song
this reminds me of DEAD CAN DANCE
this was to modern for 2k14, 2020 algorithm got me here.
два чаю этому господину
I woke up to this
another beautiful electronic manipulation by my friends "the swords" !!!!!
So original
I am in this ecstatic dance 🌸
That place with the domes in the desert, one minute in... I seem to recall having been there, some kind of artists' community, but I don't recall where it was or why I was there...
could be totally wrong but i think its a run down tourist spot at lake aral after the water receded
Forest Words.. Wyrd!
The guy keep falling until he remove that bath rug, then his life clearly improves and he starts celebrating.
The message is profound.
BAN ALL BATH RUGS!
Lmao)
omg lol
The humans... this was unexpectedly cool. I was lost in the desert; it was beautiful until I was desperate and feared for my life. Then I was safe. Like a bullet had whizzed past my head.
Benjamin Millepied brought me here!
Only downside to this song is that lovely guitar riff @1:56 isn't played more. Such a lovely sound.
If you love something give it away....
Welcome to hailing Island 😃
