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
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.
It's been 11 years and I still find myself coming back to this sometimes. Thank you, Emma and Matt!
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!
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.
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!
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
I can't stop watching this. Seriously, they're both absolutely magnetic.
I must cry every time i see this!.... amazing.... how big must be this love...!!
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.
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.
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.
Just keep coming back to watch this. It's soooo good and really tells a story. I love it soooooooooooooo much.
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.
Art in motion. I know this is almost 10 years old but I always come back to it. ENCHANTING, INSPIRING, POWERFUL.
This never fails to give me chills.
What a phenomenal dance, their musicality was astounding
One of my all-time favorites! It's mesmerizing and artful. Great song choice.
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.
absolutely beautiful you two. matt, i feel so proud to see how much you have grown since 2005. ugh. i love you.
I honestly believe that dance is an art that can transport you somewhere else entirely. And I felt this all the way. Thank you.
I cry all the time, this dance and song is so beautiful.
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.
The movement and emotion in this piece is seriously incredible.
WOW! Love their style!
Loved the choreography, so tender, deliberate, fervent...amazing
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.
One of the most moving pieces of dance I have every seen. It is extraordinary.
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.
This is where I get my inspiration to dance. They are just amazing.
It's the kind of thing that makes me feel somthing inside. its more then a dance! love it!
This makes me excited for my existence and all the things to come. Can't stop watching.
Breathtaking...flawless...
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.
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. :)
I have never seen this before, and it just blew my mind! WOW what a brilliant piece of art! Emma and Matt you are brilliant dance geniuses. This is one of the best routines I have ever seen, and I was sitting watching all the seasons of SYTYCD seasons with all those routines. This is one of the best of them all. Love this, thank you for the beautiful work and the feelings this created.
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.
this is one of the most incredible dances I've ever seen!
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.
Absolutely breathtaking!!! You guys are genius choreographers, please put more videos and dances up!!!!
Wow thank you! When Im down and feeling sad I watch this and it really lifts my spirits up. Thank you for such a beautiful amazing dance!!!!!!
I am a huge fan of this two...
They leave me speechless everytime I watch them.
And today when I saw this video they did it again =)
Hugs from Spain, thankyou for sharing!
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.
OMG shivers down my old tired dancer body ! marvellous.
This is so unbelievably beautiful. One of the best I've seen.
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.
Insane...dont think anything has ever inspired me so much as a dancer,a choreographer and everything else! You guys are incredible and even though I've watched this approximately two thousand times,it never gets old,lovelovelovelovelove.
Beautiful work...so special. I felt you both dancing from head to toe. It was more than just a dance too. Also, it grew on me. Thanks for sharing!

You guys are amazing. I love dancing, and it gives me a rush, fills me up, and is my everything. Watching you guys dance is inspiring. Keep it up.
You're dance pieces were why I went to school in high school, Emma.
So amazing. I don't think I've ever felt more attached to a video focused on dance
This is amazing! Love the choreo on "they'll be carving you up alright." Seriously...speechless.
Thank you!!
your routine is great, huge thanks for spreading such emotions..
It's 2018 and this is still one of the greatest things ever created.
I love it. Just watching your faces gave me chills. You are both beautiful, and I love how this choreography is based on all this small things. It doesn't need grand means at all. It was a joy to watch!
The song and the dance= PERFECTION❤️ I love the song! A little change from the original from Bruce Springsteen but a beautiful change❤️
Their subtlety speaks volumes.
By far the most amazing couples choreo I seen!!
Mother of pearl, that's amazing.
why.have.I.never.seen.this.before?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!
This is absolutely incredible. I'm speechless. You guys are beautiful.
watched this in class today and i fell in love. Absolutely brilliant.
Honestly 0:14 is the best part of the entire dance.
Such effortless choreography. Obsessed.
I adore the choreography, and this is ridiculously stunning.
What in incredible quality both dancers have..
This is so beautiful I'm tearing up.
Cannot explain the love for this dance
I always find myself speechless after every time I watch this.
Oh. My. God. This is the most amazinggggg piece I have ever seen!!!
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 is completely breathtaking. You are an amazing choreographer, and both of you have amazing control, technique, and beautiful execution. Awesome.
My Gosh. This is such a work of art!
Superb. stunning. Inspiring. Nostalgic.
There are no words big enough to describe how beautiful this is, to even begin to explain how it makes me feel.
Hats off to you guys. And thank you, not only for being great but for sharing your greatness.
vous etes si touchantes! je vous regarde en boucle et je suis tellement ému, bravo la version de Yael Naim!!!

you'd think watching it over and over it would lose it's emotion, but I feel it more each time I watch.

I just love the fluidity vs. sharp movements in this! Good job, guys! Beautiful work!
Wow, so much detail!
Absolutely beautiful.
So beautiful! Such a meaningful message that can correspond to so many people!
