Music video by Aquilo performing Calling Me. (C) 2015 Island Records, a division of Universal Music Operations Limited - Hudba
I think that the bullies are actually his thoughts or insecurities or his "demons" and at the end they stop moving because he only stop those insecurities by dancing
Gabriel Espinosa shit i think ur right
Gabriel Espinosa I would have never thought of it like that, thanks for sharing! (Video takes on a more hopeful melioristic feeling from that viewpoint)
xNéstorx xCastañedax yoooo, that makes sense
Too true
I AGREE💯💯💯
So he went to practice, walked home, had a drink, went out again, and those assholes are still doing nothing with their lives either than wasting it away in front of a dude's house to mock him?
Izza Ismail I feel like the 3 represent his own insecurities. it gets worse when got rejected. so I don't think they are real which is supported by the end where he finally breaks free of his insecurities.
Derrian Deshotel you are handsome
Kauan Richard Thanks?
i thought i was the only one to notice that
Izza Ismail The chick never even finished that Coke
They did the mannequin challenge before we even knew it
Prisma OMG
I was literally about to say that. Your a genius
actually, charmed did it first with piper freazing time
someone hug the boy
donghickey *Oh, honey, he's been more than just HUGGED* TRUST ME
I'll do it. 😂
Sorry can't do it, Mrs rona is watching
This boy is adorable !
agree
I agree too
Amen!
Nice performance!!! Nice music!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
i hope he is not gay in real life.it would be too bad for girls ;) does anyone knows his name btw?
.....the moment your recommended section on CZcams actually finds an amazing artist
+Waynelle Jordan ikr
Lmao I thought it was just my recommended
+Waynelle Jordan For some reason that happens to me all the time!
OMG same😂
Right?!
That guy is so fucking cute
Radial9Gaming yasss
Radial9Gaming cute as hell you mean ! the way he dances at the end is really amazing...♡
Radial9Gaming hi fren
|-/
Radial9Gaming |-/
this song is art
phil tøps your username speaks the truth
amazeballzxx i agree
phil tøps he is art
true but your profile pic is pure art too
He went so gay he froze time. I respect that.
No, you need to chill lol😂😂😂
I completely agree, I'm gay even 😂😂
That was a beautiful comment 😂👌🏻
you sir are correct
all i aspire to be
This is what I understand from the music video: He's gay and the way he deals with bullying is to use the hate to fuel his passion for dancing and because when he dance time freezes and all the bullying cannot hurt him anymore.
+Jimmy Khann That's actually pretty good.
Jose Dela Cruz Thank you. ^^
now thats deep
now thats deep
And the jock guy and him like each other
Do them people just sit on the bench for their whole life
Brubba Gum probably, with no lives themselves seeking to torment others.
EXACTLY
Heterosexuals
Pretty much..sitting on a bench, u see a lotta shit
Brubba Gum btw is that *BUBBA GUMP* on ur profile? Lmao 😆
We need more male ballet dancers. I don't know why it's considered to be 'meant for girls'. A guy could like this just as much as a girl does, and has full rights to dance whatever he chooses. We need to think of our fellow guys more.
StrawberryHero I know you made this comment a long time ago but fun little fact (I think) ballet was created for men I think it created for the war or something but men used to do ballet and women didn’t and then suddenly women started to do ballet. I can’t remember why ballet was for men but I remember reading about it or hearing about it somewhere
StrawberryHero There are a lot of professional ballet dancers. You can't perform Giselle without the prince.
StrawberryHero i know right its kinda annoying girls cant do guy things and guys cant do girl things
i mean american football players tend to do ballet to help with balance and the like. so bulky dudes who draw warpaint on their faces and wear shoulder pads in front of thousands of people may also pointe shoes and tights
the same as 'we need more girls interested in tech and programming'. it's because genders see that hobby/thing as useless and not interesting.
I too dance around my bullies
it was a message
I can't deal... XD
That's one way to confound these Neanderthals, including the ratty-haired tart who thinks she's so cool to be hangin' with these bad boys. What a trio of morons who will never figure out what just happened.
Anony Mous ha yeah. I mean its just the thing to do ya know
+SeorasOg they're artists in a performance and they've obviously created something that got to you
i didn't want it to end, I want more, it's like there is more. Please, tell me if there is more...
+Daniel Dantas you are right -_-
+Daniel Dantas You're so right...
+Daniel Dantas we want more!
+Daniel Dantas we want more!
I was hoping for a better ending like he would use his dancing steps to kick all of their arses! It's too bad he didn't know karate!
HAS ANYONE SEEN THE MUSIC VIDEO BY Ronan Parke called: "Defined" about being bullied and harassed. It's a very good anti bullying message video and Ronan Parke is soooo cute :)
when the guy swatted his hand away my heart broke
But the timing with the music though...... was worth it
I think the bullies aren't real, they're metaphors for his previous bullies, whether it be for being gay or doing dance ( a feminine sport), they existed prior in his life but now are more of reminders. Notice how time froze when he was dancing, it was as if he was showing his inner demons he didn't care, and would live as his most authentic self.
6 years later, this is still golden .... ♥️
Facts
This was so beautiful. I absolutely loved it.
Not sure why, but I keep thinking that's Connor Franta.
my god SAME
sAmE
FrapVoss OH MY GOSH SAME! With a dash of Troye Sivan
Regan Trew i know right?? omg
troye and connor mixed together
I'm a boy in an all boys secondary or high school ( it's common to get single sex schools in england, I'm not sure about anywhere else) and I do ballet but if anyone from my school knew, I would be bullied until I have to to change school. it happened to my friend but being a good friend, he still kept my secret for me.
do what you want mate
Oh wow. That actually happens in life? Lame. Ballet is graceful, elegant and just plain awesome. I think it's stupid that people are still stuck with gender roles.
hey, i bet you're a great dancer! do not feel bad for doing ballet, it's beautiful! be proud of it, be proud of yourself and do not let anyone put you down. really! i feel very sad for the kid of the video... people are cruel sometimes. :(
Um not really, those schools were mostly created during victorean era when Women were basically differed a bit from boys. Nowadays most are co-educational and the ones which are still single sex are existing from a long time, not recently created or anything. I believe the Labour party put forward to make school coeducational, not sure about that but that won't go anywhere lol, because May....
And mate, don't worry, i mean like i adore cello and violin soooo much, instruments which are mostly associated with girls. You can get many boys nowadays who will insult you for that but i still admire it and will continue to. And ballet, thats something i myself would love to do but unfortunately i am bad at dancing and i don't think i can cope up with ballet now because i am 16 and it seems too late as most ballet dancers start young.
Anyway don't let others decide what you are, you do because you are you and nobody can take that from you
hey, boys dancing ballet are beautiful. don't let the bullies stop you from doing what makes you passionate.
This video really makes me cry...
Why
Same here. >.
same especially when he touched the other guy's arm
Just listen to the music. You don't even have to really _hear_ the lyrics to feel sad
same
You don't dab on your haters, you pirouette around them.
That one person who refuses to do the mannequin challenge
Okay, but can more guys please sign up for dance? We have less than ten at our whole studio and they all take hip-hop.
Ive aways wanted to start dancing but I have trouble dancing near ppl
I'm in dance at my school I started this year and it's fun, I'm the only one in my whole school
like only guy or only dancer?
João Pedro de O. Braga I have the same question lol
i will :D
every time i watch this i love how he tugs on his jacket when he feels uncomfortable or scared
I was still a teenager and I was depressed a lot, I was afraid to come out and used to listen to this music and see this video comforted me, today I'm an adult and a strong man, it makes me funny to listen to this music again , but i love it
Ah this was so good
Why hello Roly ✌️😌✌️
p
I want to pet his hair. It looks soft.
*hair starts purring*
Me too
3 years later and this video still gives me chills. Thank you, Aquilo.
Always ❤️
i'd be his friend :(
+Keegan Salyer me too!!
+Keegan Salyer yes, ny hear went out to him too I just wish he would have used his dance moves to have kicked the arses of all the bullies
Me too :(
I think we ALL would be his friend
When he started dancing it gave me shivers. I love how so many things can inspire emotion, words, movement, art in every form.
looks like I found a new band! thank you youtube suggestions!
👍
I love Aquilo's music, it's like I hear the music deep in my soul. the feels I get are like no other music can give. This video is great too. very emotional. Keep It up guys!
Haha please check out ivan torent i love him
MandaBear83 You might would like Sleeping At Last too then. :)
You might like franklin electric. I find them amazing but i have to admit they're better live!:D
You described what I feel when i hear his voice so well
MONA Yes his voice is amazing aswell :) the combination of music and his voice is just amazing. I can be feeling bad or having a bad day and play their music and the world and my troubles will just fade away with each melody. I love them truly.
I felt the pain in his dance :(
evertime bro!
Why can’t songs like this be on the radio
You gave the absolute clue of the solution to my confusion. I always wanted to listen to this song, whenever i was confused now i got why.
-qual banda vc mais gosta?
-Aquilo
-Aquilo o que?
kkkkkkjkj
vc aqui moça, quanto tempo.
kkkkkkkkkkkk br
Br sendo Br
KKKKKKKKKKKKK Meu Deus do céu! BR sendo BR
OH NO!! He got possessed by Sia at the end!!!
+FVNT0M IIX hahahaha i can´t stop laughing, u r so funny!!
+FVNT0M IIX lol
OMG lol you just made my day, thx
lol hahaha
1, 2 , 3 drink
I love this so much. It shows that it's ok for guys to dance, and to be gay, and that those who are bullies are simply wasting their time...
Whenever people get called gay slurs I just want to come rollerblading in wear a pride flag like a cape🏳️🌈
This speaks to me
same omg
Jessie B same especially the dance
I don't know why but he reminds me of Jimmy Jr. from Bob's Burgers
hahaha now I can't watch it without thinking that
haha right though?!
+Joanna Huynh More like Josh and Jimmy Jr.'s love child.
Oliver Renwick omg yaaaaaaahs!!!
+Joanna Huynh well this reminds me to Billy Elliot, specialy the scene where he dances in front of his father
Absolutely in love with the fact that the art of dance is incorporated into this video!
i've found when i open youtube, thanks youtube recommendations
me too
same!
I still don't know how I stumbled across Aquilo, never played on the radio etc... Lucky though as I think they're great and deserve more recognition. Always telling people to check em out, whether they do or don't is their issue!
Did anyone else get the impression that the main character had a crush on the guy in dance rehearsal but rejected him, and that the group about to attack the main character was because of homophobia.
Um... Yes?
+John Gabriel Cabayao I think he just wanted a friend. Someone who enjoys dancing as well and won't make fun of him for it. The other kids were just picking on him because he's a guy that dances. It's stereotypically meant for women.
+John Gabriel Cabayao captian obvious over here
+Finnegan Nah dude he obviously had a crush on him, hence why the dude looked so mad/disgusted
+Blu he looked mad and disgusted because he assumed other guy was coming on to him. All he wanted was another friend that danced as well and was a guy. The people making fun of him weren't doing it because he might be gay but because dancing is considered a female thing
I'm literally so obsessed with this song
no bro u cant touch my arm that too gay
that was so beautiful oh my god
I fell in love with this song & video for everything it stands for but aquilo are much more than that
When he walks clutching his jacket close to him, like he wants to be hidden, I tear up. Been there a lot when I was younger.
I have listened to this song 1000 times, and will 1000 more.
A light piece of glass
Begins to fall, it makes me wonder
How do I make use of this?
I stumble around to find that
This is all I've got
I stumble around to find that
This is all I need
Oh, and the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me
A sudden thought of disbelief
Clouds my every conscience
But how do we seek refuge here?
I panic a bit to find out that
This is all I've got
I panic a bit to find out that
This is all I need
Oh, and the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me
How could I misstep?
Trouble might speak back
How could I misstep?
Trouble might speak back
Oh, and the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me
Oh, and the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me home
And the wake up is calling me
I like how the bullies are clearly drinking soda. they are clearly living thug life
What a wonderful, beautifully directed and meaningful music video.
all of their music videos are so moving
Aquilo just keeps producing great songs, song after song!!!!!!!!!!!
Halfway through 2024 and I still love this song.
You don't need someone to love you so you can love yourself. Who gives a flying f*ck what those monsters say just because you work hard at something you love to do. Someday you'll be laughing at them because all that work made you a star and your own shine.🌌🌌🌌
This is awfully underrated and I'm sad this is so beautiful
This song is so amazing, I love everything about it! The voice, the clip, the vibes and the message! I can't stop listening to it, good job guys 💕
Deadly in love with this song😍😍😍😍
how could someone even think about disliking this video? I'm a big fan of aquilo and apart from the song, which I found really elegant in its simpleness, the music video has an extremely important and powerful meaning, I appreciated it from the beginning to the end and I think there's still lots of people out there who should watch it and meditate on the issues that are so intelligently and pointed out
*intelligently pointed out
That was so beautiful!! I've been listening to his music for a while now but never looked at his videos till now.... thanks thatssojack for introducing me to his beautiful music!!!!!
the boy is so adorable ❤
this is so underrated i'm so lucky to have found this
I have figuratively watched this video 100 times. I still love it.
he reminds me of connor franta a bit.
Omg me too
omg he is Tronnor's love child
+Kilee Xiong for real? How could you know that?
+Welly Mubarokh I was just saying that he looks like it not that he actually is lmao
legit the first thing I thought when I saw this video
new favorite right here! love the song & the video! wonderful!!!
so many years later and I'm still quite moved by the music and movement, thank you!
Can't believe it was 6 years ago I stumbled across this live performance of this band I never heard of in the middle of LA. Feel lucky, not sure I'd have heard of them in my hip hop circles.
beautiful as always
Where is this band from? cuz here in Brasil, aquilo means literally "that"
+Mega Bacon they're from the UK
England I think
+Ny Linnyker tá aconteceno aquilo . heuehuehe piadinha bosta
+Ny Linnyker disgurpa, tô nervoysor
+Mega Bacon brasileiro em todo lugar mds
I started crying when the people froze and he was just dancing, it was so beautiful and meaningful, words cannot describe.
I found this video yesterday and don't know how many times I've seen it since. It's just been on replay. Seriously, I love it so much.
I see that walking dead poster ;)
abigail hinkle same jajajajaj💙👌🏻
Está canción me hace sentir tan libre, además de lo que transmite el video, creo que la encontré en 2016 y sigue pareciéndome genial.
It's so beautiful how he expresses himself and can't be affected by others while dancing, you can feel it.
When he started dancing and they froze, I started actually crying. This song hit me so hard. There was definitely a lot of thought into this and I appreciate that. The lyrics, the vocals, music, and video made me so emotional. :(
Wow the new Footloose movie looks really good!
This is beautiful. Made me cry.
This is so amazing. And his dancing is art.
This song is so beautiful, I listen to it every day. ❤
Aquilo é uma das melhores bandas que já ouvi, ou até a melhor! Merece mais reconhecimento kct
His vocals are AMAZINNNGNGG
Thanks for this soulful song. The best thing about lock down is finding brilliant music and groups + singers. Also having time to enjoy it in peace and forgetting about the problems in the world for a short time. 🌍🌟🎶😎
I found this guy a while back, Spotify keeps coming in and saving me with good music
seré el único comentario en español.
me encanta esta song es lo máximo los escuche en un programa internacional y desde entonces no pare de escuchar todas sus song.
+jazmin saico No eres el unico :c
+jazmin saico me pasa
Beautiful Voice!!! I Love Aquilo!!!
I've been playing this song on repeat for days.... it just hits differently
I dont shed tears to many songs, this one did.
GOOD SHIT. OH MY GOODNESS IM SO IN LOVE
Me too!!!!!
This music video was so adorable omfg!
Oh no, I finally cracked my phone screen dancing 😭 I have danced so many times with wired earbuds on and given my phone such rough treatment, but it has miracolously lasted like 2-3 years of it. Until today. RIP 😔
it was in my recommendations and I'm glad I clicked on the video. This song is stunning.
beautiful song and the video reminds me to the movie Billy Elliot. great job
amazing. your an inperation. this video is keep being true to yourself dont let the world drag u down
This is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. I am a dancer and this is so accurate. I dance because its my release. I don't do it to please any one, i dance to help my anxiety and do what I love.
I don't know how I can listen to this song so much....it doesn't get old....maybe on my 1000th repeat....
Just listened to the other Aquilo's songs: #SPLENDID.
