+Scott Manley You have to admit that this is awesome motion capture. Really looking forward to the making off if they release it. I have bets on that what we think is real in this video isn't.
@Teddy Holiday His possible lack of knowledge of the lyrics is much less concerning than your willingness to so strongly insult a person complimenting the song. The music is as important as the meaning of the lyrics, and evidently 186 times as many people agree with his interpretation of the music as do those who agree with you.
Проходят годы, а я всё так же возвращаюсь сюда, чтобы снова пережить эту светлую грусть. Едва ли можно найти ещё один такой клип, который так отозвался где-то глубоко внутри.
This is one of those songs that the video just compliments in and around itself.. The song is about loss and the feeling of someone loved being lost. The way I see the dance is that she's trying to grasp what's being lost, pull it back into herself and in doing so it's changing her and laying her "wide open". Nearer to the end of the song where she's mostly changed, you see the dancer start hugging herself as if she's swallowed in depression. She looks in the mirror and see's her past self, at which point her dancing picks up, becomes more erratic and frantic. Then at the end after hugging herself she gives up, and stands there holding herself lightly because she's now completely empty.. Nearly moved me to tears.
This is a true classic. The combination ofthe Chemical Brother's unique sound, vocals from Beck, alluring mood and choreography of Sonoya make this music video impossible to look away from.
I am still amazed by this stunning work of art - all aspects, the dance, the music, the photography, the lyrics, the narrative ... goosebumps. And hey, these days goosebumps are priceless.
My best friend (my dad) and I enjoyed running a beautiful 5 mile route together several times every week. He took good care of himself and kept busy working on habitat restoration projects but hadn't been feeling well for two months; he thought it was his inguinal hernia. He went to a doctor in March. The doctor scheduled him for hernia surgery 4 weeks out but refused to order blood labs we requested to rule out other causes. I saw this video, for the first time, the day before joining my dad for an appointment with a different doctor one week later. My biggest forecasted pain and fear in life was losing my dad. Seeing this video felt like my biggest fear; what if it was cancer? I was with my dad for the next nine weeks. A blink of the eye, this 5:31 minute video story, nine weeks, it feels the same. I cannot watch this without weeping.
One of the best things I’ve noticed about this is that you want her to move so much faster. But the fact that she calculated time and movement is both grace and recognition. It’s like watching depression take effect in a dance. Beautiful video. I come back to it regularly.
A bit off topic, but not by much. I love those continuous camera shots, the cuts are subtle, but rare. ===> My point is about this new movie, "1917", it has some of the longest uncut shots I've ever seen. It's all impressive. Thx to all involved! (FYI www.imdb.com/video/vi3474308889?playlistId=tt8579674 )
I have watched this video a million times, and just noticed today that the original dancer is looking back in the mirror behind the transformed one's reflection. God that blew me away.
@@biteofdog yup im doing great. during chemo i was in university as well as recovering from a knee surgery. now im all graduated, and my knee feels good. 7 years cancer free. thanks for the love. i made it
I'm just here to pay respect to the great and lovely Sonoya Mizuno's transcendent and beautiful work here. This soul captivating song from Beck and Chem Bros coupled with Mizuno's performance and the absolute stunningly magical effects make this one of my favorite music videos of all time. Thank you to everyone who brought this into my life bc theres something in the way she moves makes my life better for a moment as I listen and get ecstatically hypnotized. I listened when this came out and will continue to rewatch always!
To anyone wondering about the how-to, we learned it in University: They filmed the whole set without her, as if she were there, and then filmed her on set from several angles to catch shadows and such. In post they rebuilt the set from footage, replaced her bodyparts with the CG-animation, and fed the needed bits from the rebuilt set into the animation. As for the mirror, there just isn't one. They filmed her from the other side for it, and they had footage of her looking at a mirror in that room to get the lighting and posture right.
Thank you for your explanation. This was so enchanting. Everything experienced by my eyes, ears and heart while watching this was so right where it needed to be. Bravo to the entire team from the CG team, to the Chemical Brothers and of course the Dancer (who I admittedly thought was Zendaya for a second there)! ❤❤❤
@@gummybearchel (I hope, the algorithm won't delete this answer, because sometimes it does.) First, I am very sorry to hear that. But I want to tell you, that I see this video as a metaphor for a transformational process. After which the "soul" or "spirit" moves on and just leaves the "physical" body behind. (There are some hints to that, for example the "mirror shot".) I don't think it ends in "nothing".
@@bulletboy013 Maybe you are interested in the information that the dancer Sonoya Mizuno stars in the mini series "Devs" from Alex Garland. I think it's on Disney+ and is very interesting.
Isn't marvellous life? Things like this combination between music, movement and feelings are awesome. Thanks for this collaboration. Is one of the best things I have ever seen.
@@JeremyCoolDude 2016 feels like yesterday but already so far away. This song brings me right back to sitting in the backyard of a house I lived at with several other people. Trying to figure out life and my place in the greater World. Brings me right back to it.
This song stays with me all day after hearing it, which is everyday just about. Wish I had known of it before now but blessed to have heard it finally. Killer colab for both artists & lucky for us all they created this together. Thank you Beck & Chem.Bros
My dad use to listen to music with me all the time thats why i cope with it now but i just nkw remembered how we always listened to beck. It was this song i always thought was weird until i just now remembered it. There was a girl dancing turning basically clear almost like she was sharing her emotions in such a beautiful way. When i was younger i saw this as a weird thing asking myself why this is even a thing but now i ask myself why i cant be as good as her or how she got so good. This is just art abd its amazing. The girl was pretty, the choreo was beautiful, the song was just wow. I dont know why my younger self didn't value my time with my dad like this because now it means so much to me. I wish i could remember all the times we listened to music together. He got me listening to pantera, AC/DC, beck, tom petty, dave mathews and probably a few more artists. He even got me to look for artists i'd like, like billie elish, mitski, taylor swift, kary perry, blacj sabbath, lana del ray, and more. Thats why i love my dad so much. He taught ne how to cope and it was by remebering him and what we would do together. Listen to music. Music could change you. It did for me :)
Now everything can be made... it's not that surprising anymore... we can even shit thru an intergalactic toilet ... everything... we're the new gods... i mean at least thru a screen
i am a fucking god, and i genuinely enjoy this world most of the time. I feel bad for you if you can't enjoy, maybe go to a doctor. i know, wasn't serious either

What a breath of fresh air. This is love and beauty on a inter-dimensional level. Dynamic. I am blown away. Not very often does a song spark emotion like this. Brilliant.
I cannot express how much I love not only this song but the video itself. OK, I'm also what might be considered an old timer, but an old time Chemical Brothers fan, who grew up with the Brothers' songs way back in the 90s. To me, the level they've reach right now feels like a culmination of their talent, a maturity in sound, voice and imagery. Along the way, multiple talents have lend their helping hands, and that's why most of their tunes have incredible accompanying videos (think Elektrobank, Setting Sun, Hey Boy, Hey Girl, Star Guitar). I'm just happy to have grown listening to their music, to be part of the whole 80's & 90's rave scene and hopefully I'll be able to share at least a part of this passion to other, younger folks :)
It's honestly amazing that this entire video is one continuous take. The music, the choreography, the special effects and the execution are all flawless!
Agree. There is something about the live version that just makes this song come alive. A different introduction and some different sounds. It’s wonderful. I’ve been lucky enough to see the “chems” several times , both as. DJ set and their tour. I have several tickets for their events in the U.K. this year. Cannot wait.
Was lucky enough to see a talk from the Mill, the VFX company behind this video. One of the things they said was that in their retakes, Sonoya Mizuno was perfectly accurate in repeating the dance which was incredible
I'm reading the comments and i see so many interpretations to this song/video. That's what music should be about, make us process the message we get, and not just a ready to eat meal from the supermarket like the 99% of the music out there now.
I have started to love Sonoya Mizuno, the woman who is also a dancer. How gracefully, how passionately, look how she dances! She injects meaning both into the visual space and the song, the aural space!
looks pretty good to me, fits the jerky mood of the song and puts some form of meaning to the sentiments, plus the precision it must have taken for the numerous takes to add in and over lay all the special effects must have been quite demanding to say the least...and, to top it all, Sonoya Mizuno is stunningly beautiful
A brilliant extra layer to this video is that you are actually her watching herself. Notice at the beginning when she looks right into the camera, and at 3:32, when she walked behind herself in the mirror, that actually is, and has been you, watching the entire time.
Voltei a ouvir essa música no repeat, amo demais de todo meu coração. Quando eu encontrei essa música foi como ouvir meus pensamentos e sentimentos numa música só e a performance da atriz é maravilhosa, mexe demais comigo.
i think the meaning of this is when you dance, you let g of your ego and you forget everything and live the moment as if it was the last. this is beautiful
This is awesome for a number of reasons. One seamless take, moving camera, camera doesn't even show up in the mirror when it moves around behind her, ... . Obviously lots of post production. Great video!
I'm wide open But don't I please you anymore? You're slipping away from me You're drifting away from me I'm wide open But don't I please you anymore? You're slipping away from me You're slipping away from me Slow me down It's getting away from me It's getting away from me It's getting away from me Slow me down It's getting away from me It's getting away from me It's getting away from me I'm wide open But I couldn't see it anymore You're drifting away from me You're slipping away from me I'm wide open I'm wide open I'm wide open One day just gonna see me Look back and forth from the ceiling (I'm wide open) some day love's gonna hurt me Turn back and soon I'll believe it Slow me down It's getting away from me It's getting away from me It's getting away from me Slow me down It's getting away from me It's getting away from me It's getting away from me I'm wide open I'm wide open Slow me down It's getting away from me It's getting away from me It's getting away from me
One of the many best songs to listen to on your earphones while you run.. I often listen to a lot of chemical Brothers song while running, but this songs always gets me moving faster.
This song brings me to tears every time I listen to it because it reminds me of the time frame where I was losing my little sister to psychoses, slowly over time... She chose to leave this world/reality in 2012 and I tried so hard to get her help... But being the older bother with parents that didn't want to have an intervention, I couldn't do anything to help her/get her help. I love and miss you, Kelly. I'm so sorry I didn't try harder.
The way this song reminds me of my ex boyfriend and my ex best friend, it just breaks my heart over and over again. Pieces of heart that are gone and that you can never replace. I love them so much, how could everything go so wrong...
Sonoya Mizuno's performance of this ethereal and transcendent dance cures my depression for a beautiful moment. I wish I knew how to interpret it into words but something in the way she moves just speaks to my soul and situation in life. Like a slow but deliberate explosion of movement trying to evolve and not be lonely but dancing by yourself all the same but loving every moment of exposing who you really are.
Superb!?? Love Chems -&Beck....thissongmakes me flying so high?!!!I. The space synth is pure magic....got no right wrds excellent and much.more. One of my favourite Chemical+Beck thxs......😅😅😅 4:26
You can't just leave a comment on a video like this. I have to craft an appropriate response that articulates the emotions that are conveyed by the imagery and sound. That deep soulful look she gives the camera at the beginning of the video describes what she knows is coming, and that is her entire body becoming synthetic as she dances. It speaks to all of us as we become more and more attached to our phones and technology that we are losing ourselves, it's getting away from us. She knows the end result at the beginning of the video which is why she gives that sad stare, and sadly it's what's happening to all of us, Which is why this is such a touching video.
I’m so great full for this song...it makes me feel home...a home I’ve never been to in the physical but I will one day!! Thank you chemical brothers, love you all
Simplemente magia, para los que disfrutamos de la música electrónica, algunos se dejan llevar por lo comercial y se hace un boom. Chemical Brothers simplemente hace magia con esta música desde hace muchos años, para mi estan en el top de top. Algunos de sus videos tienen demasiada producción con efectos que parecen avanzados a su época, hoy en día 2021 veo algunas películas con efectos que no le llegan. Este video recuerdo que al último venia una parte de como lo hicieron, ese efecto de espejo y la transición de la chica al otro cuerpo simplemente es maravilloso
![Far Caspian - Between Days [Full Ep]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qm0ru2iBuB0/mqdefault.jpg)
Chemical Brothers always make a great soundtrack to everything, which pretty much means video makers can just concentrate on making fun, artsy videos.

agreed. stop that tyrophobia bullshit
Chemical Brothers have always made the effort with their videos....
right on
Micah Buzan Bastille - Bad Blood, Fever the Ghost - SOURCE, Let's Go - Stuck in the Sound
Was lucky enough to see a talk from the Mill, the VFX company behind this video. One of the things they said was that in their retakes, Sonoya Mizuno was perfectly accurate in repeating the dance which was incredible
this song means so much to me. listening to it makes me want to cry. this may be the most beautiful song ive ever heard.
ikr, it's indescribable in words.
ProjectNiteFall its cause you're hell of emo
arithmetisches Mittel alles klar(dein name)😂
ProjectNiteFall absolutely emo you and I have nothing to be fear emotion is the deeper motivation for life and love and time being wide open

I'm reading the comments and i see so many interpretations to this song/video. That's what music should be about, make us process the message we get, and not just a ready to eat meal from the supermarket like the 99% of the music out there now.
Masterful graphic art - a classic. The mirror shot is impossible! A synchronous symphony.
Mizuno is a very talented dancer before she became the Queen's whisperer.
@3:01 who got goose bumps all over like me?
Sonoya Mizuno, best dancer ever
I have started to love Sonoya Mizuno, the woman who is also a dancer. How gracefully, how passionately, look how she dances! She injects meaning both into the visual space and the song, the aural space!
She lacks grace and precision. Glad you're getting into contemporary dance, but there's much better stuff out there. Enjoy!
I'll keep an eye open for your ChemBros video then, shall I? Then you can show me exactly how it should be done.
@P Romich And you lack benevolence!
looks pretty good to me, fits the jerky mood of the song and puts some form of meaning to the sentiments, plus the precision it must have taken for the numerous takes to add in and over lay all the special effects must have been quite demanding to say the least...and, to top it all, Sonoya Mizuno is stunningly beautiful
Yeah you should see her in Devs! She’s a heck of an actor too
Hands down one of the most underrated songs! Still here in 2025 & 52yrs old rocking to the CB’s like I have done for the last 15-20yrs 😎
これ、癖になるし、気分を一気に気持ちよくしてくれるから好き。
4 years later and still listening to this song.
Me too :) Good music never get old
Yeah, same thing. I can watch all the time
wow!!!
Same here ♥️
same here x2
Can never get enough of this track
Yees
Same. I've been spamming it since it came out. Brilliant.
Црн?
Never
A brilliant extra layer to this video is that you are actually her watching herself. Notice at the beginning when she looks right into the camera, and at 3:32, when she walked behind herself in the mirror, that actually is, and has been you, watching the entire time.
I'd never noticed that before!
whoaaaaa
So well put!
never even noticed!
TRUTH!!!
Voltei a ouvir essa música no repeat, amo demais de todo meu coração. Quando eu encontrei essa música foi como ouvir meus pensamentos e sentimentos numa música só e a performance da atriz é maravilhosa, mexe demais comigo.
Bravo to the animators. Bravo to the musicians.
Sonoya Mizuno is so magnificent!!
Sonoya Mizuno is such a great dancer and a goddess of beauty that walks among us...
An incredible actress too, a real gem all around
@@SaulBadmon Ex Machina was her finest yet!
The synth solo is so amazing,fascinating...just as Mizuno...all is flying all
😅😅😅😅over the skies❤❤❤ 4:41
the best song to listen in a new year! happy 2020!
For me too :)
I love the video how she transforms :)
Es un gran trabajo visual!
Yes 💙💙💙
In fact, it was not a happy 2020
Whoa, just noticed she was looking at herself dancing with herself in the mirror 2/3 the way through the video. Mind blown.
Mmm, this means that the camera's POV is her own
@@PeyoteCowboy And hence, self reflective.
Ok oh c c o hi in bnb c TD I I
i think the meaning of this is when you dance, you let g of your ego and you forget everything and live the moment as if it was the last. this is beautiful
I've heard this songs hundreds of times, but still when 3:46 kicks in, I get goosebumps !
This music and mv touches me on an emotional level. Seriously one of my favorite piece of art.
hard
This is awesome for a number of reasons. One seamless take, moving camera, camera doesn't even show up in the mirror when it moves around behind her, ... . Obviously lots of post production. Great video!
there is a "making of" this video on youtube. It is very interesting,
I'm wide open
But don't I please you anymore?
You're slipping away from me
You're drifting away from me
I'm wide open
But don't I please you anymore?
You're slipping away from me
You're slipping away from me
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
I'm wide open
But I couldn't see it anymore
You're drifting away from me
You're slipping away from me
I'm wide open
I'm wide open
I'm wide open
One day just gonna see me
Look back and forth from the ceiling
(I'm wide open) some day love's gonna hurt me
Turn back and soon I'll believe it
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
I'm wide open
I'm wide open
Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
deep
We couldn't have known with out ya
Lovin this 😍😍😍
So, someone is getting away from someone... idk, I'm just mesmerized by Sonoya's moves... I DON'T care!
❤️👍
Just realizing now that Mysaria's actress is the dancer in one of the greatest music videos of all time.
3:32 The intact version of herself walks by in the mirror...... Great video
And I think she is standing right where the camera would be.
Watxhing herself become a shell of the person she used to be :(
Sonoya Mizuno.... What a blessing.
that´s right dear sister,more tan that, Sonoya Mizuno it´s a real blessing ....
How move all the fingers in the dance,like a beautiful deer in complete armony
I LOVE SONOYA !!
Check out our Secret Garden오마이걸 지호 such grace, this sparked a more genuine and deeper interest in dance within me
I prefer her sister, Haruki.
come back here every now and then ... feels comfortable :)
なんていう美しさ
最高のPVの1つ
This song gives me a nostalgic feeling of a special time and place. 😌
Brilliant work once again, dear Brothers
One of the many best songs to listen to on your earphones while you run.. I often listen to a lot of chemical Brothers song while running, but this songs always gets me moving faster.
ASTARICK saaaaaame 🤙🏽
Ikr!
Good for a skate to as well.
This and Star Guitar.
run fast
wOw, i had no idea the ex machina beauty had so much talent! Also Beck's vocal is cool!
One of those art pieces that has beauty in every single element of it.
This song brings me to tears every time I listen to it because it reminds me of the time frame where I was losing my little sister to psychoses, slowly over time... She chose to leave this world/reality in 2012 and I tried so hard to get her help... But being the older bother with parents that didn't want to have an intervention, I couldn't do anything to help her/get her help. I love and miss you, Kelly. I'm so sorry I didn't try harder.
❤
SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT...praying you heal
@@antoniotulum4776 Thank you for the kind words.
❤
😢🙏🏽♥️
Thank you to the Brothers and Beck for making this...
The way this song reminds me of my ex boyfriend and my ex best friend, it just breaks my heart over and over again.
Pieces of heart that are gone and that you can never replace.
I love them so much, how could everything go so wrong...
Mysaria the White Wyrm!!!
😮
Why I clicked
Never noticed 🙌🏻🤍
Also has a cool part in Ex Machina. She’s one of the world’s best dancers
sonoya Mizuno ❤️
o yaehhh
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Check out ‘Devs’
@@j0n4th4nd4n13ls Check out Ex Machina
@@NichtNameee Quality film:)
In case anyone hasn't said it today, Sonoya is a goddess ....
She's like walking art.
Everything I have seen her involved in is sheer brilliance. From La La Land to Annihilation, to this video.
Sonoya Mizuno's performance of this ethereal and transcendent dance cures my depression for a beautiful moment. I wish I knew how to interpret it into words but something in the way she moves just speaks to my soul and situation in life. Like a slow but deliberate explosion of movement trying to evolve and not be lonely but dancing by yourself all the same but loving every moment of exposing who you really are.
i simply cannot begin to comprehend how they must have made this video
thee is a short movie about how they did it , it's fantastic and a lot of work
Félix Romanos thanks a whole lot man! i checked it out and, well, i need a new jaw
Without looking at the "making of", I'll guess green screening, CGI, and rotoscoping.
Watch the making of..
uk
This is addictively satisfying... I have watched thousands of times, still can't stop.
just one word only:masterpiece.
Superb!?? Love Chems -&Beck....thissongmakes me flying so high?!!!I. The space synth is pure magic....got no right wrds excellent and much.more. One of my favourite Chemical+Beck thxs......😅😅😅 4:26
Can we stop for a minute and appreciate the shadows projecting off the CG on the floor and her skin? Holy! Is that cool.
Only just found out this is a beck / chem bros collab. its a match made in heaven.
RoasterMcdougalify YES. I've been wanting to get into his new stuff. What an intro!
I’ve been a fan of The Chemical brothers for more than a decade now. They never seize to amaze me with their work. Both video and music wise.
Omg, @ 3:35 that juxtaposition of reflections, chilling
Back with another one of them block-rockin beats
+nickmordo really mist a chance for pun o da century...

You can't just leave a comment on a video like this. I have to craft an appropriate response that articulates the emotions that are conveyed by the imagery and sound. That deep soulful look she gives the camera at the beginning of the video describes what she knows is coming, and that is her entire body becoming synthetic as she dances. It speaks to all of us as we become more and more attached to our phones and technology that we are losing ourselves, it's getting away from us. She knows the end result at the beginning of the video which is why she gives that sad stare, and sadly it's what's happening to all of us, Which is why this is such a touching video.
Her expressiveness is absolutely amazing!
yes dragon (cool name btw)
She is good in Ex Machina, too
This reminds me of so many things that i have lost in time, It is memories whenever I hear this song. So soothing and relaxing.
Oh boy. I hope I'm not the only one who recognizes that face/expression the girl makes in the beginning all too well.
I’m so great full for this song...it makes me feel home...a home I’ve never been to in the physical but I will one day!! Thank you chemical brothers, love you all
*grateful
The more you watch this video, the more beautiful it becomes.
Simplemente magia, para los que disfrutamos de la música electrónica, algunos se dejan llevar por lo comercial y se hace un boom. Chemical Brothers simplemente hace magia con esta música desde hace muchos años, para mi estan en el top de top. Algunos de sus videos tienen demasiada producción con efectos que parecen avanzados a su época, hoy en día 2021 veo algunas películas con efectos que no le llegan. Este video recuerdo que al último venia una parte de como lo hicieron, ese efecto de espejo y la transición de la chica al otro cuerpo simplemente es maravilloso
No pasan de moda los Chemical Brothers!!!
