Hard to believe it's been 8 years. The nostalgia is hitting me like a freight train. Just now really connecting with the video because I was in middle school when this came out lol. I like it, it's tragic but beautiful in a way. When I realized she fell in love with her costar and wanted it all to be a reality I caught myself audibly saying "awww".
Gallardo 5Million In my case, I live in Reality That seems so much to the first part of the video. And it's not a World of Fantasy. I understand her. i wanna live this moment of my life forever :3
I think that sometimes with EDM music we're hearing a beautiful noise that no ones ever heard before in the history of people/music ever. Take a second and consider what a time we live in.
I used to play forza horizon 3 and this song as always on my favourite radio station. Its been soo long since ive played that game and when i heard this song first on spotify, I just wanted to cry. It made me question my reality, that i would never be able to relive my days back when i first bought the game. I love you
Wow, this video is so sad and artistic! You can see the girl's happiness in the beginning, but you can also see her sadness through the middle, because she really wants it to be real. Wow, I can't believe did know this video sooner! This is an amazing piece of art!
+Simeon Papadopoulos The world that was created for the commercial that was being shot was not real, it was fictitious. This is why the actress was so distraught when they were done filming and the fantasy ended. The world that was created for her in the commercial (fiction) was better than the world she lived in (reality). This is why she was so desperate and anxious to return to it.
+Dakota Peterson Simeon is right. The world that one's mind creates, is the world that one lives in. I'm approaching this video from a narrative standpoint. We, as humans, are capable of creating fictional worlds that can sometimes be better than the world we/the author live in. Who exactly said world appears better to is completely subjective.
+Simeon Papadopoulos "Not everything is supposed to be yours" - I think that's exactly why she chose the fantasy over the reality. Not all dreams and fantasies are meant to become reality. Just because you love someone doesn't mean that they will love you back, despite your best efforts. The actor didn't feel the same way as the actress did in the video. With time, the actor may have eventually fallen in love with the actress; but even if he did, the actress has this romanticized fantasy of what the perfect relationship should be like built up in her head. Such a fantasy may have been impossible for the actor (or any other person for that matter) to live up to. So, she decided to choose the thing that she wasn't supposed to have, because it was the thing that made her happy.
I don't think that the movie set is actually a shoot, I think its a symbol for how sometimes relationships could be completely fake/set up, and in the end one person is left with a broken heart and the other never loved to begin with.
Best music video I've seen in a long time. Love the song, but having it combined with this video is just marvelous. Excellent cinematography and a unique premise which I had never even considered before this video. Hats off to you Ian Pons Jewell. Wonderful directing job in every aspect.
She's so amazing at portraying her character. You can see the love in her eyes in every single shot, and especially the scene where she finally realizes its all a set and stares into the camera. For a moment her eyes linger on her partner as he's already focused on something/someone else, you can tell she's hoping that he'll reassure her, or come back to her for a moment... She deserves 90% of the credit for why this video has the impact that it does, it was amazing 🥲
I've got a theory- Instead of this being an actress who falls for her co-star in a music video, what if everything up until right after the proposal was a real relationship, but all of the menagerie of a film set was just a visual metaphor for a relationship that's totally staged and is supposed to represent how he was becoming distant and loveless after a proposal, and her seeing the video inside was her pining for the moments before things started to become fabricated?
6 years with this song, things started with her, grew onto me, our love become my passion, watched it dwindle down, and things ended at last. But this song has stayed, by my side to this day. Here's to "say my name". Thank you Odesza.
My wife and I loved the song. We watched the first two minutes of this video feeling something was just *off*. Laughed our asses off after the reveal. Then felt really sad by the end. Great job and great music ODESZA!
I remember first time i heard this song live it was at Lollapalooza Chicago 2015. The vibes were immaculate and I was in my element. Wish times are like they were 5 years ago
I was playing Forza Horizon 3 on Xbox and heard this song on Pulse radio station and fell in love with this song. This vedio is completely in sync with the audio and with a deep meaning :)
This made me cry! It's so painful to see her face when she realises it wasn't real and only for camera. :( and then when they pry the ring off her finger
Este video me causa un encuentro de emociones en especial nostalgia, amor, felicidad y tristeza. Aveces sentimos que todo va bien y parece que la vida es perfecta pero la vida cambia constantemente poniendo todo de cabeza pero aun así seguimos en este camino hasta el fin de nuestros días.
The music video is about love being a commodity. In advertising and marketing they push the ideal relationship will be the outcome if you consume certain products. Why would the video highlight on branding so much? It's also shows how this ideal relationship is also fake- however we're surrounded by it so much through advertising that a lot of people will do anything to live like it's apart of their reality.
I have nothing against love and awesome relationships but who can honestly say that what they see in commercials and billboards is an accurate reflection of their own relationship(s)? I can't- oh hell no.
+Kaitlynn Romike Love the insight, but in the last sentence you meant "a apart", not "apart". Apart is an adverb, and you're trying to use it as a noun.

Omg this music videos amazing. I was so confused about what was going on but it finally made sense in the end. Damn we need more music videos like this
If anyone's wondering the message of this video from my point of view is that the girl and the guy are doing a shoot for a movie and she truly likes him however he only acts like he likes her for the movie. I think it shows that sometimes you're perceived by what you see and feel and in reality it's not what you think it is.

Almost 9 years actually... it was released in 2014.
@@ezmixYes, but specifically, if you look under the caption, you'll see that it's been 8 years, like he/she said.
Nostalgia, uplifting & painful at the same because you just wanna go back.
Literally cried to this shit last night I haven’t heard this song in years
Spot on dude. This was the years when twitch community peaked. You can hear it in all the songs people were upbeat and looked forward.
it's so rare to find a song that gives you this feeling
I'm strangely in love with this video. Most music videos suck but this one I love it and obsessed with this song.
Fairy Tale vs Reality
The cinematography at 2:35 is down right phenomenal. Such a powerful music video!
5 years with this song, and it still holds a place in my heart.
What an amazing girl! Those eyes, that smile... The desperate look in her eyes absolutely breaks my heart.
Я искал этот коментарий.
I actually heard this song so many times and I finally found it
AND I LOVE IT
Cata rodri samee!!!!
SAME
That's because the title "say my name" makes no sense. I wanna dance with you seems more appropriate
Cata rodri
After so much time, finally i found it today! 😍
This song will never get old. Never
Exactly. 8 years later and it’s still amazing
@@shitdiculous fr, Idk if you know what it is. But, I absolutely fell in love w/ this song while playing forza horizon 3. So amazing
RIGHT IVE LOVED THIE SONG WINCE I WAS LITTLE, IM 13 BUT I USE TO LOVE THIS SONG WHRN I WAS 5 SM
For life we will always return. Love is so unique
NEVER 🙌🏻
This actually has a really good concept, as well as a great song. Best music video I've seen in a while, even though it isn't new.
so deep, so emotional , so real and same time is illusion , just best combination of music and video which I have ever seen.
Дмитрий ?
Димитрий !
this is out of this world! epic!
sounds better with my 12 v'z in the car lol
She wants to live that moment forever
quien no desea vivir en su fantasia :c
Lina Vizcaino she needs to grow up and get her acting career straighten out lol stuck in the fairytale world
Gallardo 5Million In my case, I live in Reality That seems so much to the first part of the video. And it's not a World of Fantasy. I understand her. i wanna live this moment of my life forever :3
me too ! its so damn wonderfull!

Definitely
Started listening with Horizon Pulse, now a really big fan of every single song made by Odesza. :)
Moral of the story..if love doesn't work out for you the way you wanted.. you can always go back to your PC.
My sweet obedient PC. Muah !
Bhavandeep Singh right back at you.
thats 4 sure
🤣&😪

It made me question my reality, that i would never be able to relive my days back when i first bought the game. I love you
This song is incredible. Literally can’t fathom how they produced such a masterpiece
I’ll always love this music video. So many times I’ve wanted to escape in memories of who I thought people were. Even if it’s not real.
It's 2022 and the nostalgia from listening to this again, gives me the feels 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️🤗
Its like when you wake up from an amazing dream and then realize that none of it's real and you have you keep on living your shitty life.
sadly true
But the song makes it sound like that dream came true
same.
real talk
SOOO TRUE😢
This entire album has such tremendous meaning to me.
Love this. ♥
Hey man
Yo
I kept forgetting the name of this song and fortunately found a way back to it ever since I was like 7 years old, brings me joy each time
Wow, this video is so sad and artistic! You can see the girl's happiness in the beginning, but you can also see her sadness through the middle, because she really wants it to be real. Wow, I can't believe did know this video sooner! This is an amazing piece of art!

OK WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS SONG 3RD DEEP COMENT LIKE...WHAT ILLUMINATI OR SOMETHING?
+Drazword Erazo yes, luminutty cunfirmd.
Wow yeah you're right..
By far, one of the best music videos of all time.
I love how the song starts off, you guys make amazing art
This song and her voice soothes my mind while the pandemic is happening. Thanks Zyra and ODESZA!

" In my defense, I always fall for confidence, your compliments..." has been stuck in my head for weeks now haha, I love this song

This music video will forever be one of my favorites.
Odesza is just... So damn good. I can't ever get enough...
ODESZA.... Back again after 6 years!
Still love ❤ this song ✌
ugh i could watch this all DAYYYYYYY
I've got a theory- Instead of this being an actress who falls for her co-star in a music video, what if everything up until right after the proposal was a real relationship, but all of the menagerie of a film set was just a visual metaphor for a relationship that's totally staged and is supposed to represent how he was becoming distant and loveless after a proposal, and her seeing the video inside was her pining for the moments before things started to become fabricated?
Wow
That’s exactly how I see it and I think that’s what they intended to portray.
Or what if she is just stoned man

But this song has stayed, by my side to this day. Here's to "say my name". Thank you Odesza.
this is literally my favorite music video. it speaks to me like no other music video I've seen.

@@karlavillacreces2824i first listened to this in Forza Horizon 3 in 2017 and its been nearly 10 years already 😭😭😭
Honestly, this was depressing as fuck.I feel like crying a river, at least though she got to have her real kiss with him in the end.
pretty sad to think that she knows that hes just acting but she dosnt care and goes back strong message really
Xx.Mercedes......do u have a facbooke account
unrequited love on blast really. :(

This video breaks my heart but is so freaking perfect at the same time 😭
Can I just say, how amazing was this video ? Hands down, I'm not usually impressed with music clips, this is one of a kind.
sometimes, love is an illusion. Something virtual.
Shut the fuck up

This song is so addictive and relaxing ;) Those beats are so good!
This song, never saw the video until today, but I do believe it helped me through a difficult point in my life, just with sound alone.
I remember first time i heard this song live it was at Lollapalooza Chicago 2015. The vibes were immaculate and I was in my element. Wish times are like they were 5 years ago
Humans are so complex and primal and this song is a depiction of this effortlessly. Body language rules this video
Since 2015 it's been on a Spotify playlist of mine and I still play on the reg. Love In Return and Summer's Gone albums.
the girl in this video is so pretty. OMG!!
Yes, she is 😍
Indeed!

Odesza is the best in melodies / Vocal melodies :D
Odesza is totally out of this world!
I was playing Forza Horizon 3 on Xbox and heard this song on Pulse radio station and fell in love with this song. This vedio is completely in sync with the audio and with a deep meaning :)
The way she begs to dance with him (have a life with him) is heart- wrenching
Beautiful

Sup
Naa Max, immer noch am hören ?
I have listened to this song countless times but never saw the video... changes the meaning for me now XD
Driving my LFA in Florida when I come down from LA I love this song ! And my snowbird car!
This song becomes more ICONIC by the day. We'll all be playing this for our kids one day.
-Say my name baby
-Dj Khaled
-You smart,You loyal,You grateful,i appreciate that.
Música maravilhosa!
Profundamente envolvente e sensível. Descreve perfeitamente todas as etapas de um relacionamento até seu término.
This song is so good it has like 20 remixes.
This calls the bluff of every lazy music video creator who just shows stuff happening. No message, or substance. Really love this.
In love with the song
This made me cry! It's so painful to see her face when she realises it wasn't real and only for camera. :( and then when they pry the ring off her finger
I rly liked the video, who never felt this way...
Ur beautiful love story was nothing more than illusion created by ur own mind
THE GIRL IS SO PRETTY
The way this video and song both hits you....is exceptionally different. Hats off!!
Dec 2024 old man grandpa and i like this song and another one called all we need!
After long time stumbled upon this feels nostalgic wish I could rewind time😭
booh yahhh!!!! God I love Odesza!
Life lesson: when love hurts, just melt into the computer screen.
Will forever be my favorite song and music video. Thank you, ODESZA, for this masterpiece.
Freaking amazing, not another boring EDM video - SOOOOOO GOOD, I hope she got into that screen world haha
Am I the only one who cried in this video? Idk why but this song really touches my heart. :')

Yo el único que lloró en este video
Idk por qué, pero esta canción realmente Touch es MI corazón

The song that first got me into ODESZA music. ❤ I am SO SO hyped to see them live soon after all these years 😢
This song lives in my head rent free.
2:04 - that look when the weight of the world crushes down on you.
The music video is about love being a commodity. In advertising and marketing they push the ideal relationship will be the outcome if you consume certain products. Why would the video highlight on branding so much? It's also shows how this ideal relationship is also fake- however we're surrounded by it so much through advertising that a lot of people will do anything to live like it's apart of their reality.
I have nothing against love and awesome relationships but who can honestly say that what they see in commercials and billboards is an accurate reflection of their own relationship(s)? I can't- oh hell no.
You are too awesome!
.... OK WHAT? YOU ILLUMINATI OR SOMETHING, THIS IS TOOOOO DEEP, WOW, *MIND BLOWN 😐😦😲😶😶😶 SPEECH LESS, YOU HAVE TO B ILLUMINATI, OR SOMETHING IDK

Odesza, I LOVE YOU!!! I can't stop loving you forever. I want to build a shrine to you and worship everything about you.

Lyrics:
I wanna go, so, what'd you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me?
'Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense, I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
[Pre-Hook]
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner
With the Scarlet Letter
And while you're watching
You may think that she doesn't matter
But no one knows you better
[Hook]
Oh yeah
I wanna dance
I wanna dance, dance, dance with you- you
So, take a chance
So, take a chance
Oh yeah
I wanna dance
I wanna dance, dance, dance with you- you
So, take a chance
So, take a chance
Oh yeah
[Post-Hook]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
[Bridge]
I need a sign or a signal
I've overthought everything I can think of into symbol
I need the coat and your jacket
And the remnants of your cigarette packet
[Verse 2]
I wanna go, so, what'd you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me?
'Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense, I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
[Pre-Hook]
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner
With the Scarlet Letter
And while you're watching
You may think that she doesn't matter
But no one knows you better

OH god... I love Odesza! I hope I can see them performing live once!!
Omg this music videos amazing. I was so confused about what was going on but it finally made sense in the end. Damn we need more music videos like this

the ending is some scary ish! and this is obviously a music video in the making in a music video. :)
I don't know why this song is unheard for a long time..this is one of the best song I heard in 2019... love the song
One of the best MVs that I've ever watched!
