Everyone keeps talking about the girl, but do you see this guy! He's lines are beautiful! That leg extension at the beginning I paused it and just stared in awe! Every movement he made was just breathtaking for me. I am reinspired to dance from watching him. The whole this was beautiful and I've watched it over and over. The lifts! I could go on and on. This was well done and a provoking story.

no but, the way he moves. in most dances between a guy and a girl, the guy just usually stands there having to lift the girl, but when he danced, that was when the real show was. I'm getting kinda sick of dancers just using tricks and lifts in their dances, I want to see dancing. and this was well choreographed and the guy moved so well and so fitting to the theme.

I think that this is one of those rare times in life where you get to witness something so incredible that words can't even form in your brain because of this incredible event that has unfolded before your eyes. I don't think I will ever look at dance the same way because this was incredible. I look at this and I see not dance but art. Real, incredible, moving, feeling, art. The technique was right up there with the emotional content of the dancers. I am so moved and I always find something to critique and I must admit every flaw is what made it that much more powerful. This was raw, real, grounded, and deeply emotional thank you so much for sharing this with the world.

I've never seen anything more beautiful dance wise. This is a true masterpiece.

I love cried so much. U could really feel a deep meaning into the song that this dance gave it. that's why I love to dance.

5 years on and I still come back to this piece. It resonates with me even more today, here & now. It depicts the emotions experienced “dancing with the devil” of Cancer with my partner for the last year. And the medicine.... thank you for such a moving piece.

This dance always reminds me of my first relationship, it was exactly like this. Our love was so powerful, but we would destroyed a small part of it … little by little every time we touched … a small piece would break off … year after year .. becoming just a memory of the love we once had.

i wish i could meet the people who danced and created this. if only they knew how much it spoke to me. not only did i used to dance, which i miss so much, but there is so much addiction in my family its unreal. myself, a recovering addict. i just.... i watch it almost everyday. thank you. ❤

Was anybody else in freaking tears ? 😨😨😭😭😭😭this had so much depth it was beautiful 😭😭😭 2:50 to the end I feel like it was showing that she loved this person so much that she would do anything to help him so she dove in without fear and was consumed by the same things he was going through 🙁🙁and at 3:27 did u notice how both of them looked like they were trying to portray hanging themselves the swaying motion and limp neck? It really is an amazing dance 😭. It was like after she was in it wholey with him they were suffering together going through the same motions in their minds and what she thought he didn't need "the medicine" she needs it now to and they're falling apart together . idk I just really like this

I thought the guy is a drug addict. The female character was in love with him and tried to pull him back from it. In the end, she was so frustrated and she decided to use drug herself. Then he lost her and mourned in pain.

currently battling an addiction with perscription pills i only started taking because of extreme back pain and now its taken a hold of my life. every day, every minute, every second is about the pill. Im not even necessarily getting high but feeling no pain is the goal and now feeling no withdrawals either. My partner has stood by my side as i battle this and will not give up & im forever grateful. Although sometimes i wish he would so he wouldn't be under so much stress, getting nightmares, lying to his and my family, our friends, taking me back and forth to dr appointments constantly and coming over when im to sick to leave my bed & hold me while i shake & cry from the agonizing & debiltating pain. I can honestly say i just might be dead if it werent for him. i love him so much i can't stand to see this pain i put him through

I see two stories in this dance: 1. Where the woman is the addiction the man is trying to get away from 2. What they intended: a lover who is struggling with her partner's addiction and the person he once was, only to succumb to his demons and dive head first into his addiction. And I think both of these stories have an incredible, lasting message. Just amazing

Absolument merveilleux, la danse peut véhiculer tellement d'émotion...

Yeesss!! That part was so smooth & amazing!!

My interpretation: A story about a toxic relationship. The man in this video is someone who is taking advantage of her. She tries to fight it, bring him to reality and change him. However, he continues to infect her w the same levels of toxicity (he has). She stops fighting and stays instead of leaving him, and together they both suffer. In the end, the relationship takes over too much control and she loses everything she was.

That shot at 2:06 when they’re walking together is so beautiful. One of my favorite parts

Being in recovery from addiction after being hit, ran over and dragged 15ft by a City Bus this…THIS IS…my reality. You see I was in recovery from Meth, 18 months to the day, and I was a dancer. Just started teaching kids hip hop. That night changed my life forever! Already being an addict in recovery saved my life that night as I lost 80% of my blood from that accident. Yet, I became addicted to pain medication. It was my life after that day! I now have 10 pins and 1 plate in my hips holding it all together. I got off the pain medication in 2015! This is how it was for me on meds everyday! Having to choose between quality of life. I’m grateful today I don’t have to live this way anymore! ❤❤❤❤

SUBLIME !!!! Les mots ne peuvent décrire ce que ces images font ressentir .... Le corps comme expression et démonstration . Combien de beautés ... combien de vibrations .... combien de frissons vous nous faites partager .... MERCI pour cet instant de grâce ..... MERCI

I am so in love with this video. stunning, moving and full of emotions

Rarely have I cried harder or made a stronger emotional connection to a piece of art. My heart goes out to all those struggling with mental illness and addiction and to all those who choose to walk with them.

This is my interpretation of the dance: The female dancer is the drug addiction. Notice how she starts on the ground and twitching. And the male dancer, succumbing to addiction, finds himself in the desolate building seeking out his addiction. She sees him and walks up to him, the guy obviously still wary. She thens sinks straight into him with her head, inviting him to pick her up. She then drops to the ground and pulls him in. He looms over her and with 1 leg straight and high, representing him taking her in and getting "high", and then they roll around the ground getting intoxicated. Standing up representing the completion of the intake, and he falls into her control. Notice her expression being aggressive as she manipulates him and covers his mouth, then she climbs on top of him, showing that she's in control. After the series of lifts, she walks away and smears her hand over his face, once again showing control, then holds him from behind showing her holding him back and clinging on to him, her fingers reaching foward and closing representing the drug fumes, and she claws his forearm, and a little special effects of the veins turning black from her corruption. He breaks free from her to do impressive moves but she holds him and puts him to the ground again. He stands up but she clings on to him again from behind and on top. And sinks her body down on him forcing him to hold on to her, once again with aggressive expressions. When she leaps on him and wears white is where i'm not too sure what it means. My best bet is that by fully embracing the drug (catching her) he's brought back to the past memory. The role of the female dancer with the white shirt is switched to girlfriend. He and his girlfriend were both hopeless addicts where she died of overdose.

My interpretation of this is that he was so busy focusing on his problems, going through his own struggles, that he didn't notice that she was struggling with her own problems as well. Idk. Just what I got out of it.

Autumn Rae the drugs became who he was. it started off the drug was it's own individual evil, it was his choice but at the end the drugs became his entire identity.

Guys. Everything about this is pure beauty. Pure, raw emotion. I've been struggling with severe emotional issues, including ptsd. My treatment has only began, but this. This was so beautiful and emotional. I couldn't help but cry and watch it on repeat. This is also the story of mental health issues in relationships. Trust me. So amazing. I can't sing your praises enough on this one. Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world.

Feels like addiction and an addict - dancing with a love that kills... But it's only us - beautiful, longing, tragic... Living and dying either way. Sometimes it seems black and white... but coming clean is getting whole - Deep-down, tender, for real.

its 5 years later and I still come back to watch this. Truly amazing!

I have always believed that art cannot honestly be called art unless it invokes emotion. I've watched this video more times than I can count but every time I walk away with a different perspective and deep emotion. Talent like this is rare.

Art saves lives. Thanks to everyone who made this possible and thanks for sharing such an amazing piece of art with the rest of the world. What an amazing performance by these two incredible dancers. Thank You!!

I often think of this and watch it to feel the same thing I did when I first watched it 8 years ago. Thank you for creating this. ❤

It is so beautiful!!! I cannot resist to watch it over and over... And cry every single time. Have never seen any dance that has touched me and moved me that much.

This made cry. I love everything about this. Thank you!!!

This is so beautiful.. People always think that dance is just "whipping and nae nae" but me being a dancer it's about telling stories.. Inspiring people and showing entertainment whether it's being sad or happy.. You have to tell people a story, but you can tell that this dance is their story

This is absolutely astonishing. If i were to close my lights and watch this on my tv with full blast i dont even know. Just wow

I love this piece so much....really pulls me into their world. I can't even count how many times I have seen this dance, and have listened to this song even more. I lost my brother to addiction and most of my family have been addicts so it hits close to home

I love dance, all kinds of dance but I can genuinely say I've never had a piece move me to tears before and this did. What an amazing team who created this. The music, the costuming, the set, the choreography, and most of all the dancers and their emotion...all of it together made a masterpiece.

The combination of the song, lyrics, the movement and the emotions these two people bring to life is just.... I can´t find the perfect words for this.. It is the best I have seen in a long time!

I am at a loss for words. I keep playing this over and over. The story is portrayed perfectly.. the emotions are out of this world!

This is beautiful.. I mean I have never seen such a beautiful and emotional choreographed dance...I can't wait watching!

My dad was an addict, and I danced to this song a couple of years ago. It's nice to see such a beautiful dance about such a terrible problem that, sadly, most of us have lived with. Thanks for sharing

their dance gave life to the lyrics of the song! Absolutely FANTASTIC! They danced so beautifully together. I couldnt keep my eyes of both of them. I was almost in tears, really touched my heart.

I really didn't want to cry watching this but I definitely failed. What an accomplishment, this film - thank you for it.

i have seen so many contemporary dances to this song but this is by far the most insanely most intensely most amazingly beautiful dance i have ever seen. well done

Just so beautiful. This is probably the 157th time I'm watching this, and there are still many more times I will press that replay button on this video. Thank you so much for creating such a unique & ingenuitive masterpiece.

waouh les larmes aux yeux...😰 magnifiques tous les deux, belle complicité quelle belle surprise...😍 On peut juste vous dire...merci😘

I just can't stop watching it. The facial expressions, the fluidity of movements... Indescriptibly deep and beautifully danced.

this gives me chills. so beautiful, so haunting.. i can't even put it in words how amazing this is..

proud of our french girl♥

Such a raw, impeccable work of art. I love that dance is being filmed this way.

So beautiful, just amazes me how a dance piece can portray a message so nicely. Couldn't have asked for more.

Brought me to tears, the music and the choreography just spoke with such power and passion...too powerful for words to even describe. I thankyou for reaching beyond spoken words to convey such things.

This is what KZread needs. Real, raw, pure artists, who are in it for what it's really about. Creating.

Why can I not stop crying?! This song and choreo touches my soul in a very personal way. God needed me to see this. Thank you to everyone who had a part in the creation of this video. You've changed at least one persons life.

Des frissons, juste magnifique, cette vidéo nous montre à quelle point les émotions peuvent être exprimer par le corps, juste beau, sincère, réel..

C'est juste incroyable,quelques larmes ont coulés..

this makes me emotional no matter how many times I watch it. makes me feel feelings I didn't know I had and miss people I don't even know

This dance speaks has so much meaning and I can relate so much. Being in a co dependant relationship to an addict which caused me to suffer alongside his addiction. This video brings tears I hope he gets the help and support he needs now. Thankyou for this video. Dance speaks a thousand words

Magnifique. Que d'émotions ! Sublime chorégraphie. Danseurs merveilleux !

Le but est de nous faire pleuré ? Pour moi c'est fait ! Merci pour cette danse magique. Cette video ne fait que confirmer les talents de la belle Shy'm. Merci à Zack pour avoir pensé à ce beau projet ! Chapeau les artistes !

Je commente rarement les vidéos, j’ai vu cette vidéo a sa sortie c’est à dire il y a 4 ans. Tamara et Zachary dégagent tellement d’émotion, déjà que la chanson est très touchante et cette utilisation lui va à merveille. Je suis toujours touchée de voir cette vidéo. God bless u

never seen a more beautiful set of dancers before.. choreography is absolutely heartwrenching

Tellement parfait.. J'en n'ai des frissons. Bravo Shy'm et Zack !

Magnifique ! Belle prestation ! Beaucoup d'émotions qui en dégage ! Franchement j'adore !!!

My late husband killed himself, and I relate this to the relationship with a suicidal person. The wardrobe, dance, all of it, shows the mental breakdown of both, including the person trying to help in such a battle. I've watched this over and over now... "You can still be what you want to".

Words cannot explain how beautiful this video is, or the message it gives. Amazing.

This is what dance is. Some people are too caught up in how many tricks someone can do, or how many turns they can do. But they don't realise dance is more than that. Dance tells a story, dance makes you feel something. And this piece does that. This is what dance is .

Not only is the choreography beautiful, but the words speak to me in ways I could never fully explain in words themselves. Having life struggles from a very young age as well as fighting alcoholism. Every day comes with it's mishaps and wars to fight, but even when the world is against you, you have to love yourself to know it's going to be okay.

I saw this years ago and forward three years later still makes me cry. My interpretation is the struggle of mental health. To me it looks like the guy is in pain from the struggle of mental illness and he’s abusing drugs/ alcohol so he’s always numb and can’t really be himself and the girl loves him no matter what because she has seen him at his best, she knows the beautiful mind that he is and in a relationship where someone struggles with depression/suicide combined with drug abuse etc the person that loves you also struggles with you each and every day worrying about you and if you’re seeking help or not and I feel that’s why the woman looks distraught. When she leaps it’s like a leap of faith into their love that she’s willing to go all the way to do anything to help her loved one with his struggle. But at the same time you can be going thru the conditions of bad fights , verbal abuse etc which is why thy are coordinated towards the end doing the same dance. It’s not healthy for both. Because help is not being seeked. It reminds me of younger couples too not having the resources to get help or admitting you need help.

What a powerful performance! Amazing choreography, amazing dancers with amazing technic and story telling skills! Loved every second of this! And even more every time I watch it! Can't get over the awesome Camera work either!

This is my favourite dance video of all time. So incredibly beautiful and it's been an absolute inspiration.

she is honestly so gorgeous. her lines and her expressions. And talk about body goals

This is beautiful. Medicine is one of my favourite songs, and I am not disappointed.

This is breathtaking. No other words will do this work justice.

All I did was type this in to get a song but I got more then what I asked for LOL. I have to say I love their movements and how connected they are they show you their entire story just from dancing BEAUTIFUL.

I'm no dancer or choreographer, but I totally thought of a choreography for this song once it came out... So happy to see that someone did just so! Beautiful

This dance was so mesmerizing and just deep. So beautiful. This kind of dancing tells a story that words cannot explain and it just leaves me speechless. You should totally do a choreography for Burn by Madi Diaz. I feel that it would be astonishing such as this piece of art. 💕

This dance was breathtaking, and the girl was such a beautiful dancer. My eyes were drawn to her. And her body is so perfect 💙

Wow 💫 j'en ai les larmes au yeux 😍💘 c'est vraiment magnifique 😊 Bravo ! 😏🌹

This is the most beautifullest dancing ever! The emotion made me believe it was real and I almost cried I hope I can dance like that some day!

This made me cry. Beautiful work.

Magnifique vidéo ! Tellement beau la danse quand c'est bien fait ! Le frisons et la larmes facile! Bravo

this is art in it's pure form.

No words for what was spoken through emotion.

I don't know how to dance myself, i grew up in a family where art is left on second place and knowledge or whatever is what's important, but every day i regret that. i spend hours and hours watching dancing videos, dancing films, everything, dance is a beautiful and powerful way to express feelings. This video was magnificent from beginning to end kudos to the dancers, producers, photographer, everyone, this was amazing.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 This made my heart cry. Beautiful!!!!!

IT IS SO BREATHTAKING. i wish i could dance again like this. i used to express all my pain this way...... i am so in love with this. its beautiful.
