Oh, by the way, Francis Lung saw this video and on his Facebook page he's "looking for the person" who did it to contact him ASAP. Like so take some crime can see
Pure art. The way the video is built up from the start to the end,how the music fits the picture of him dancing all alone perfectly,the way the people sometime stand in front of him but you never lose sight of him,the way the people notice him and wonder but never look at him and how the little girl is the only one admitting to be looking at him without being scared. I usually don't start doing this "seeing metaphors everywhere for no reason" thing but this is just impressive.
would also support the title of the song "selfish man", when you take into account what you just said :D (btw I'm also not a guys that sees in everything a symbol:P)
I saw the same! Stuff like how the chorus kicks back in at 3:30 right as the two guys blocking the camera finally part ways. It's crazy how much meaning can come from something so unscripted.
Since he posted, I've been in countless trips, always with this song in my headphones Francis Lung and TSC really hit. Whenever I'm stressed or depressed, this video reminds me I will keep going in search of those good moments
you know, ive seen this video so many times, im not even gonna try to count them, everything about this just soothes me and inspires me to keep going, no lie, it just makes me wanna go further in life, even in my most anxious and depressing moments this video, your moves, the song, and the just the /flow of your movements/ in this, captivates me, im not good with words but i mean something along the lines of being alive and colorful and screaming at the top of your lungs in a world where everything is grey and just keeps moving, something about doing your best and enjoy whatever you currently have just because it is /now/, while everyone else is trapped in the routine and a monotonous wave that threatens to pull you in; i just really like this video, and i wanna thank you for sharing it, you have no idea what it means to me, thank you.
Just to know that he did this in public in front of so many people in an airport is amazing. I would be so embarrassed if someone saw me dance in public. This guy had his groove in his mind and heart and did not care what anybody thought. I give this guy such mad props for doing this.
i tried this...dancing in public...in front of a chinese music store with sad chinese music...in chinatown downtown and in school too it is SURPRISINGLY very fun when you look at peoples stares or your friends half-supporting half-joking laugh.... i didnt feel that awkward or shy after the first 13 seconds...
8 years later and damn... This still has to be one of your best videos man. If I am able to defend myself on the dance floor is thanks to you! Don't doubt for a second you inspired a lot of people like me, so many many thanks from me and all of them.
It's been years since I first seen this video and heard this song and i'm still hooked. The lyrics, the song, and the dancing all make for a great experience. Love this video, and i'll probably be watching for years to come.
I found your videos less than two months ago. While this is not my favorite (Over Your Shoulder), this is the one that makes me the happiest. So many times I'll go out to dance by myself and knowing that you could just be YOU in the middle of an airport with all these people around, not even hearing the music, makes me think I'm a fool to not be confident enough to go out and dance when no one else is on the dance floor. Thank you.
I loved how happy you made the people behind you. Those woman's reactions were beautiful. Thank-you for making this world a more beautiful place to live in. : )
I use to watch this video almost every day when i use to dance but i end up dropping dancing, coming back here and see it again is still astonishing and heartwarming as the first time i saw it. Your dances are very inspirational Thank you TSC.
This was like a one take music video. Like everybody who passed by without interest was all staged. I even felt suspense whenever staff passed by especially the 3 guys on the truck. Perfect.
I'm pretty sure his goal wasn't much "music vIdeo" and more film myself dance awesomely in public despite strangers and passer-byes. The behavior of everyone around seemed typical and expected in that circumstance. Most people are timid, shy, and scared to even slightly deviate from the masses. They don't want to be pointed out so would rather keep walking then stop and admire. He wouldn't go out of his way to cast these people. This can be inferred from his other videos; he does it for the dance. And what do you mean suspense? Do you mean people acted stiff around him or he would pause? Other's stiffness would be due to their curiosity peeping out from their shy little safe shells. Also it being an airport and they have places to go, they probably can't afford much else besides slowing down to soak it in. He, on the other hand, suspends at first for he's aware of the video but then says fuck, suspense won't make these people move any quicker or make the music wait (earbuds -> that's how he stays in sync. Probably don't care about other things), so I'll just keep going. I pretty much wrote this because my because I don't understand how you came to your conclusion/inference?
MegaAniLinkFan Rereading your comment after 4 months, I think I understand what you meant: that it would have required only one guy to mess up the entire one-take video, yet nobody did in the end making it perfect. It was just the phrasing of the second sentence. I think adding "It was" before the "Like" makes it less misleading to me at least.
That little speech snippet at the end! I have heard that before just some months ago... it's by Alan Watts. Very interesting... And of course super impressive courage.
I've watched this quite a few times now - there are so many wonderful things about this video. But I just had a thought - All of the people watching cannot hear the music (You can see TSC adjust his earphones), which makes this fantastic. To think, they see an incredible dancer with a killer sense of rhythm, yet all they hear is the relative silence of ambience, which is noise enough to some (John Cage, etc).
Well dancing in public is nothing to be ashamed of if you feel comfy the way you Dance. if it looks good for those passing by, well than you know you can dance good and people like it ^o^ all i can say is, every video you put up i love it ever since you began.
TakeSomeCrime what's the talking at the end of the video? This is ethereal, simple yet profound. Gratitude, if I could express how this has radically moved my life today. Peace.
TSC, you must, must send copies of your videos out to various producers, agents ..... You have a great talent, and it would be unfair to you as well as the world to waste it. Take these words of wisdom from a 57 year old woman who has seen many, many people fail to pursue their passions! What a pleasure watching your joy of dance (I think you might be able to act as well!). Thank you
I was introduced to the dance videos of takeSomeCrime over the holidays, when Get Lucky was playing on Pandora and somebody pulled up takeSomeCrime's dance to it. I've been watching many of his dance videos over the few weeks since then, going back four years and up to this most recent upload. In addition to the sheer great quality of his dance, I am completely taken by how he is focused on developing his dance. With A Selfish Man I feel we are seeing a shift in his art: not a departure at all, but development in accord with the principles of evolution - increasing complexity and increasing integration. So enjoyed it.
Thank you for introducing me to such a beautiful song, and delighting me with your gift of dancing. Honestly, encountering you was an accident. A lovely accident.
This is one amazing video! You are very brave and I love to see how much you lose yourself into the music and the dance. You truly dance from the heart!
This was great on so many levels. True Art. The song the place the dancing the angles one shot of continuous filming. Very emotional Thankyou for doing it. Life is beautiful
It's not just public, it's Dubai. Fatal Fatwas have been issued over less disruptive behavior. It's a feat in boldness of character. More than style or technique TSC is a master of artistic courage and persistence. That's why he will inevitably succeed in realizing truly great art.
Homosexuality is punishable by death in the UAE, which is true for Saudi Arabia as well. Not sure what their position is on public dancing (lol) but they are in fact pretty conservative by Western standards.
I don't really believe in those stuff-inspiration, motivation. But you inspire me a lot, man! Especially this video-brilliant! It is very good to real taste freedom, isn't it? Thanks, TSC!
DUDE! That's Dubai Duty Free Trolleys behind..... Were you in my hometown???? WTF Man! That's so awesome but I missed getting to meet you. If this is true! Were you visiting Dubai? Next time you do please do drop a line! Talents like yours are always appreciated here!
What drives you to keep going? Your style is defined by your flow of movement. Doesn't seem like you waste any energy or flow. Tectonics are always dope and foot work is intricate to the point where they control themselves.
Not as a direct result (but maybe you helped?) since I started watching your videos, I took up tango dancing, and I'm amazed by your footwork in this, especially at the 1:55 mark. You've only gotten better over the years, and your videos are hugely entertaining.

there's something so refreshing to watch about this! people are so constantly concerned w/ how they're perceived by others. I love this!
probably helps that the dude can actually dance
Oh, by the way, Francis Lung saw this video and on his Facebook page he's "looking for the person" who did it to contact him ASAP. Like so take some crime can see
bbbeware bb did anything happen? idk like a collaboration or something, it's been 3 years
Stuffy stuff yeah I wanna know too
he knows about it and was contacted but nothing has happened yet, it's still on the table but no idea when it could happen
D3urke Dancer ;/
Still waiting
This man’s bravery of expression has set me free. Mad respect

his best video for me ;)
I saw the same! Stuff like how the chorus kicks back in at 3:30 right as the two guys blocking the camera finally part ways. It's crazy how much meaning can come from something so unscripted.
i do that thing too. i actually have a blog... im the master of metaphorical simile combined with allegorical analogy, logic, and anagogical intent
Can't get tired of watching this video even after 4 years. Legend 👏
This video has been an antidote for my anxiety for over 4 years now. One of my favorite videos in youtube.
Always love how smoothly you put your earphones back in at 1:28 without missing a single beat, such a gorgeous flow.
Since he posted, I've been in countless trips, always with this song in my headphones Francis Lung and TSC really hit. Whenever I'm stressed or depressed, this video reminds me I will keep going in search of those good moments
I can’t explain it, but this is one of my favorite TH-cam videos ever. It’s so mesmerizing, just puts a smile on my face.
Mine 2 ❤

Heres a reminder for you to watch the video again
perfect description!! this is one of my favorite songs and i just find myself playing this music video when im feeling down! :)
I fell ya.
Got watery eyes reading this.. 🥺😊 Thanks for the comment, and thanks to TSC for this amazing video that inspire all of your hearts! We need it!
@@DrauLienz oh here i am
I always return to this video. Everything about it just breaks me out of my mundane life.

Im going to do this! .. let me practice a bit more and ill doit in the middle of the school because Yolo
+Sir Slapa Ho I'ma try something like that, seems fun. ;D but of course...more practice.
Sir Slapa yes,definitely a lesson is that, breaking the fear once for all
The artistic instincts this man has is boundless.
8 years later and damn... This still has to be one of your best videos man. If I am able to defend myself on the dance floor is thanks to you!
Don't doubt for a second you inspired a lot of people like me, so many many thanks from me and all of them.
I love how he can dance to both intense and upbeat music and slow soothing music, and is absolutely amazing at both
Heureusement qu'il y a des gens comme toi.. pour te rappeler que la beauté et l'Amour existent.. Merci.
I worship him. Such a mind evident in his dancing. Beautiful. An artist with a mathematical bent.
It's been years since I first seen this video and heard this song and i'm still hooked. The lyrics, the song, and the dancing all make for a great experience. Love this video, and i'll probably be watching for years to come.
Just found this video and man am I glad. Something about it makes me feel calm and happy.
This is the most underrated video on TH-cam.

All of it
I watch this video over and over and I love more and more! U are beautiful!!!
I use to watch this video almost every day when i use to dance but i end up dropping dancing, coming back here and see it again is still astonishing and heartwarming as the first time i saw it. Your dances are very inspirational
Thank you TSC.
One of the best videos on youtube
Im so happy to find this video again❤❤❤❤❤
Feels like I'm watching the music video to this song. :)
This has a very old school youtube feel to it. Keep it going, man!!!

Christian Hidalgo think he's sayin it's so natural it feels fake
Christian Hidalgo Grayson Lewis
Both of you guys missed my point completely.
MegaAniLinkFan Rereading your comment after 4 months, I think I understand what you meant: that it would have required only one guy to mess up the entire one-take video, yet nobody did in the end making it perfect. It was just the phrasing of the second sentence. I think adding "It was" before the "Like" makes it less misleading to me at least.
I got what you meant.
That little speech snippet at the end!
I have heard that before just some months ago... it's by Alan Watts.
Very interesting...
And of course super impressive courage.
I've watched this quite a few times now - there are so many wonderful things about this video. But I just had a thought - All of the people watching cannot hear the music (You can see TSC adjust his earphones), which makes this fantastic. To think, they see an incredible dancer with a killer sense of rhythm, yet all they hear is the relative silence of ambience, which is noise enough to some (John Cage, etc).
"an incredible dancer with a killer sense of rhythm"....yes, that's what he really is :-D perfect description of TSC :-))
Well dancing in public is nothing to be ashamed of if you feel comfy the way you Dance. if it looks good for those passing by, well than you know you can dance good and people like it ^o^ all i can say is, every video you put up i love it ever since you began.

This is ethereal, simple yet profound. Gratitude, if I could express how this has radically moved my life today. Peace.

What a pleasure watching your joy of dance (I think you might be able to act as well!). Thank you
I love how the women in the background and the children passing by were obviously watching and enjoying it. Brilliant.
Still come back to watch this one
You should dance in public or out in the open more often, great video!
Gotta love the contrast of the free spirit of TSC and the captured spirits of those in the room.
The cinematography is simple yet brilliant
I always come back to this video
This is so ...incredible
I'm back again
Thank you for a glorious bit of art. You've opened my eyes to dancing.
Alan Watts at the end of the video!:D Great dancing!
I really envy all those passers-by ...they can see the dance -live >___<
GREAT VIDDY ! :3
This is a wholly under appreciated song, it is a masterpiece
You have made me love this song even more than I already do, I love to see the passion you have when you dance.

randomly coming back to this video 9 years later and it’s still so good. hope you are well! also what airport is this haha?
Dubai
I see so much beauty in this video, I don't know if you can even begin to understand. This is art.
Thank you for introducing me to such a beautiful song, and delighting me with your gift of dancing. Honestly, encountering you was an accident. A lovely accident.
This is one amazing video! You are very brave and I love to see how much you lose yourself into the music and the dance. You truly dance from the heart!
you just took the quote ''Dance Like no one's watching'' to a whole new level.
Dude it's three years ago and in four years your dancing has gotten so much better and more artful! And your videos!
I really really like your dance,my friend .I saw this video so many time
Dude, I love you so much. Your dancing brings so much joy into my life. And look at those women behind you! They can't stop smiling haha!
This was great on so many levels. True Art. The song the place the dancing the angles one shot of continuous filming. Very emotional Thankyou for doing it. Life is beautiful
It's been really cool to see how much your dancing has improved and how your style has changed over the years. Thanks for sharing
I LOVE THIS! Don't know how I missed it. Amazing.
Danced his way into our hearts, he has.
I can't stop smiling. What an amazing being. 😁
And to this in public. .. 💛💙💜💚❤
Really fantastic. I was just dancing at the grocery store today. It's actually really good fun to dance in public :)
Dubai airport and this guy! Awesome combination!!
This is liberating. Beautiful.
I would never have the balls to dance in public
It's not just public, it's Dubai. Fatal Fatwas have been issued over less disruptive behavior. It's a feat in boldness of character. More than style or technique TSC is a master of artistic courage and persistence. That's why he will inevitably succeed in realizing truly great art.
Bruh dubai isnt that conservative, maybe ur talking about saudi arabia
Homosexuality is punishable by death in the UAE, which is true for Saudi Arabia as well. Not sure what their position is on public dancing (lol) but they are in fact pretty conservative by Western standards.
because you have no balls
What is the worst that can happen ?
people laugh ?
they laugh in this video
Who cares
Hercules Son of God Whoa what's
got you
so
fussy?
This is art on so many levels
Airports should employ you to keep people entertained during delays lol
I don't really believe in those stuff-inspiration, motivation. But you inspire me a lot, man! Especially this video-brilliant! It is very good to real taste freedom, isn't it? Thanks, TSC!
I think you taught the hijab-dressed ladies a thing or two about celebration of the human body and spirit. Always a joy to watch. Well done.
yeah, because dancing is all about teaching lessons to those silly stiffs in the middle east....... genius!
@@gereiam "it's only repression of women's rights when it happens in the west"
Yikes.
落ち込んだ時に見に来ると不思議と勇気を貰える
TSCの中でも1、2を争うほど好きな動画
One of my favorite songs/videos of all time.
Amazing!!! I just love watching you..
amazing!! weirdly refreshing to watch, couldn't take my eyes off the video!
More of those Videos please.
Well done, especially the first 2minutes!
Feels like my life...dancing to a song no one else can hear.
Is that a haiku haiku?
THIS IS SO GREAT
didn't comment on this before.....but as always you are amazing....the god of dance.
This is a different one :o i love it, very original
Excelente ! no paro de verlo !
Excelent ! I can't stop to see it !
Wunderbar ! Ich kannt halt fur sehen dieses Video !
This Guy is Fantastic! Keep on moving and let the people watch and think!!👻
Oh my god there you go, we can see how much he's totally submerged in what he's doing, not blinking once by the throng. Impressive.
DUDE! That's Dubai Duty Free Trolleys behind..... Were you in my hometown???? WTF Man! That's so awesome but I missed getting to meet you. If this is true! Were you visiting Dubai? Next time you do please do drop a line! Talents like yours are always appreciated here!
touched my soul!! makes me thinking in what real matters in life....
These people are nuts! As good as this guy is I would be watching him the entire time. They just pass by like he is just some dude standing there.
Just watched this video for the first time and I love it. So nice!
guy, you really are amazing! I can not stop watching your videos. I would really like to meet you and dance like you!
Jesus….seen this so many times, keeps getting better ❤😊
What drives you to keep going? Your style is defined by your flow of movement. Doesn't seem like you waste any energy or flow. Tectonics are always dope and foot work is intricate to the point where they control themselves.
Ele é maravilhoso não canso de assistir.
Dancing in Dubai? very audacious and brave.
I like to see you enjoying the life and connecting with other cultures.
I'm in love :D I love how he chill and focused he is at the same time.
Not as a direct result (but maybe you helped?) since I started watching your videos, I took up tango dancing, and I'm amazed by your footwork in this, especially at the 1:55 mark. You've only gotten better over the years, and your videos are hugely entertaining.
You're so amazing to be able to do this in public and dance your heart out. Kudos!
youre a beautifully brave performer thank you
Amo este vídeo!la canción es hermosa y tu baile fenomenal como siempre.Motiva a hacer arte en público!
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE, you were in Dubai! I wish I bumped into you! That was amazing as always, never fail to transport the audience to a distant place.
It’s so fascinating and almost sexy that he’s doing this in a public place without giving a fuck what anyone else thinks
Indeed I'd love to reach that point
still appreciate this video 4 years later
His best video by far
Every time I listen to the song I remember this video. This is so great!
