Clicked this 5 years ago thinking “haha cool Grey Worm can sing!” and was surprised how hard the song hit me. 5 years later, I thought about it again and started weeping. So uh. 10/10 song, I’m going back to therapy
It’s funny cuz that’s why I’m here now. For that reason. It’s my favorite son & music video by him. The ending always get me emotional. When he hugs his younger self and send him off the elevator and then punches the door. I cry everytime. I can relate to that scene so much and watching this video makes me feel better. 💕
i got goosebumps everywhere and i cried like a baby i think it relates to everyone that you just want someone to fully understand everything your going through but you know the only person who will ever know is yourself because alot of the time you cant even put together in words what you are feeling and once you explain everyone thinks your overreacting or something like that but its how you truly feel and a hug from someone who just dosnt feel pitty and actually knows is such a powerful thing to show and portray in a song honestly a masterpiece
Mina Qazi brother I was just thinking that. I can imagine greyworm skipping the war putting some air pods on and just sits there listening and singing this song and then everyone is so shocked and touched and everyone lives happily except greyworm cause he lost his love lmaooo I haven’t recovered leave me alone

ChickenSpy exactly. It’s kind of reflects the reality of his life and it’s almost like he just wants to be himself and do what he wants and he feels like he can’t
I think that at that age, the pressure of fame was getting to him and he was going through a period where he wanted to just end his ride by trying to step out of the elevator.

Yea, and everytime there was a new age his old self entered the elevator, and I'm not sure if that's correct or not but it seemed like his old self wasn't happy with his new one and vice versa (the guy and little guy fighting, the woman looking disappointed at the guy before leaving), but in the end he embraced his old self and gave it a hug and then the very old self (kid) came back to give him the helmet for a safe future? maybe I'm reading too much into it lol

This is the most beautiful clip for sensitive introvert people I have ever seen. I can relate to any stage of his life (follow those kids behind Grey Worm* (xd) and the number outside Lift) 1y- 0:36 7y- 1:00 14y- 1:22 21y- 1:50 And the most important: 2:30 The lyrics hit just right in the feelings. 3:00 - and time to accept your past, start liking yourself and just doing life. 3:30 - then you become who you really want to be, even an astronaut. Thank you, Raleigh Ritchie, for this amazing experience watching this : ]
I also love how his younger self gives him the helmet and that he goes to “infinity” when he achieves his dream. This song just hits me in the right places and I love it.
I guess with his increasing popularity on the show and people that aren't from the UK now finding out (including me) he also raps, must be helping lol. Dude's got some talent.
Kingofallfreedom: I was wondering why he was doing so many interviews even on the Breakfast Club but I didn’t click on the cause I thought it was more post GoT stuff good for u Greyworm utilising the common tongue.
This is incredible. The composition, his voice, the lyrics. Honestly, top tier stuff. I am genuinely impressed, and tagging this to listen to whenever I feel shitty.
Official Mel V. Dj Melcj that’s what I was thinking, I was also thinking he probably doesn’t like people only talking about his game of thrones character.
Drake Brown if it wasn’t for the fact that he was on game of thrones 90% of the people who have watched this wouldn’t have I only clicked on this because grey worm
Cookies Tv I know, it’s inevitable, and I enjoy the got references. But it’s just weird everyone not talking about the song that there watching in the first place.
Original values verified by your body if it goes down to the collection and you're before going on a rant and may be in the way but won't be on past performance.
From what I can tell, the elevator represents his life, and the various people who come on and off are both himself throughout his life (the child in the mother’s arms, the boy sitting down, the teenager in the hoodie, the guy with the agent) and people in his life. This is supported by the numbers of the elevator floor which represents his age, as when the baby gets on its 1, when the child gets on its 7, etc. Them getting off the elevator may represent the people themselves walking out of his life, while the versions of himself may represent his regret for letting it happen, which is why he holds on so dearly for teen. We also see him hug the teen. As we can see, the teen is the only one apart from Raleigh himself to be on the elevator alone. That hug could be him wishing someone would have cared for him at that age, and him telling his past self everything will be okay. We even saw his younger self try to hug the teen, who he pushes away, which may represent his teen self not accepting help from anyone, not even himself in his mind. This is also where the mother walks out, which shows her anger with him and how he is behaving. This is why the hug later is so important. Finally, him wearing the space helmet represents how, while he may not know what will happen in the future, he is willing to explore it, like we explore the unknown aspects of space.
I think that your explanation is great. However, the 28 year old finally accepts the person/stage of his life that was destructive and gives him a hug representing full acceptance of himself and all his stages and all his past selves. "It takes a village to raise a man." Also, he hugs himself and doesnt let the elevator doors close with his 14 year old self in there. Letting go of resentment or that stage which he wouldn't allow to get older with him. This music video is beautiful.
Just started college and feel like I've put myself on the completely wrong path. I want to crawl back to childhood, but instead it feels like I've thrown it all out to do something I don't really enjoy. The way you deal with the aging and the expectations of adulthood through your music resonates so much man, and I can't begin to express how grateful I am to be aware of you and your art. Keep it up, and never stop making what you love.
Hey Luke, you're gonna be great. Don't ask me how I know; don't ask me why I'm telling you this now. You'll see when u get there. Follow the paths that keeps you happy. Signed: someone who's been where you're standing.
I’m right in the same space, bro. I don’t know if I’m on the right path, or if I’m kidding myself, but i can share with you something that helps me get through it all: everyone has an off ramp. You can always change lanes, take a different road, flip a u-turn, just keep driving. Everyone acts like you have to figure it all out now, but life is longer than it seems and we have tons of time to change our minds. Travel down this road for a while. If you love it, stick with it; if you’re miserable, take a different route. Nothing is set in stone.
I just wanna say, thanks guys. It's always a nice surprise to find a section of the internet full of genuinely nice people (I should've expected that from RR's fans though!). So again, thank you all so much for your kind words, and know that I'm taking them to heart. I'm going to come out the other side of this better and happier than I came in, and a big part of that is all of you.
In my victory lap (5th year) of college and I promise if they have you taking general ed classes (bunch of classes outside your major) it's likely you'll find something you love and often if you pursue it, work for it, and surround yourself with the right people, everything will work out. (Pardon my terrible grammar on this one lol)
@@connorperdicaro9656 10,000 years ago we just domesticated cattle and in GOT they have steel swords, castles, battle ships, full plate steel armor. Plus the a timeline i found says season 8 is taking place 305 AC gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline
An absolutely phenomenal actor, but I've got to say I think his music is even better, one of the best songs I've heard this year, what a talented bloke. This song put a lump in my throat. Hats off to you mate!
Imagine him (Grey Worm), Rory McCann (Sandor Clegane), and Daniel Portman (Podrick) singing together during the fireplace scene in season 8 episode 2. It would be so epic!
@@buggus0034 agreed I’m American and shit most of our rap is trash and have lost the lyricism we used to have in the 90s but you uk bois are holding it up but try listening to like the immortal techniques and mf dooms cannibal ox or earth gang where it’s about the lyrical content not just being loud and mumbling
"Do you ever feel like, you could live a real life? Like everybody else in the real world, you could be a real girl?" --- when a song connects with your soul like this... words can not describe
Love the imagery of his innocent younger self handing him a space helmet. Nothing represents the unknown quite like space and the future. So stick on that helmet and embrace what the future has in store for you.
the floor numbers represent his age. 1st floor (1 year): He is the baby with the woman. 7th floor (7 years): He's the kid who's set aside by the girls. 14th floor (14 years): He's a teenager already, and you see him pushing aside his childhood, represented by his younger self, and with this, the woman and his child self leave, as the song says "I could be at NASA" (that will come up later) 21st floor (21 years): That's how old he was when he joined Game of Thrones, that's why u see all the managers around him. The music gets faster and more aggressive and he screams out of frustration, right after the lyrics say '''I wanna be 10 again, just me and Sonic, and nobody telling me I should be more than I am'' , expressing how he misses easier times. The other figure who joins the elevator is probably a friend, idk and so again, he's about to move on, and his younger self is about to leave, but he holds him down and hugs him, that may represent acceptance, or maybe the affection he missed when he was 14, that now he's willing to give to himself, and then 14 y/o Jacob leaves, and the elevator go up to the 28th floor, which is his current age. at the 28th floor, his child self returns to him and gives him back his dreams (NASA), and he accepts it. Which probably represents the dreams he set aside when he joined the show and how now he can make them come true, but also that he has his whole life in front of himself (right before the camera goes past the number display, the 28 turns into a lemniscate ∞, the symbol for infinity.
カイケ so deep. This is amazing. I appreciate this song and video so much. I’m also 28 and get consumed into thinking “it’s too late” to do anything about things I’ve wanted to do in the past or present. It’s never too late to do exactly what you want to do in life. Age is just a number and life is infinitely better when you do what your heart wants and not what people want for you. I love this.
Besides of lots of GOT reference here in the comments section, I think the elevator levels signifies the stages of his life and his age (pay attention on the elevetor level signs on the right) 1 - as a baby, pure of innocence. 7 - as a small child and started to be alone 14- a teenager that struggles on his age 21 - when he starts to be famous and apparently its not enough with all the pressure he gets 28 - his current state. He matured a lot and he tried to hug his 14y/o self and tell everything will be rough but it will be alright eventually. Lastly his 7y/o self gave him the helmet to protect him for future pain. No one will help you but yourself. If you are young, its okay to fail time to time. Struggle is a huge part of life. And if you are a bit old and matured already, for sure you will do the same thing to your younger self and hug him/her. EDIT: i wrote this breakdown without watching the breakdown on this genius video... my thoughts came purely right a way when i watched this video. As a person suffering from depression, it connects to me in lots of levels. Peace.

+6mil Respect
This is the most beautiful clip for sensitive introvert people I have ever seen.
I can relate to any stage of his life (follow those kids behind Grey Worm* (xd) and the number outside Lift)
1y- 0:36
7y- 1:00
14y- 1:22
21y- 1:50
And the most important: 2:30 The lyrics hit just right in the feelings.
3:00 - and time to accept your past, start liking yourself and just doing life.
3:30 - then you become who you really want to be, even an astronaut.
Thank you, Raleigh Ritchie, for this amazing experience watching this : ]
I also love how his younger self gives him the helmet and that he goes to “infinity” when he achieves his dream. This song just hits me in the right places and I love it.
The fact this is going viral now let’s me know something big is coming...
God bless all wurms
I guess with his increasing popularity on the show and people that aren't from the UK now finding out (including me) he also raps, must be helping lol. Dude's got some talent.
The Man has talent, I hope he has a good long Career.
He has a voice on him, I hope he goes very far with this, my best wishes to him. ❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kingofallfreedom: I was wondering why he was doing so many interviews even on the Breakfast Club but I didn’t click on the cause I thought it was more post GoT stuff good for u Greyworm utilising the common tongue.
Hey TH-cam why you recommend this great song to me after 7 months?

Official Mel V. Dj Melcj that’s what I was thinking, I was also thinking he probably doesn’t like people only talking about his game of thrones character.
Drake Brown if it wasn’t for the fact that he was on game of thrones 90% of the people who have watched this wouldn’t have
I only clicked on this because grey worm
Cookies Tv I know, it’s inevitable, and I enjoy the got references. But it’s just weird everyone not talking about the song that there watching in the first place.

Grey Worm got vocals? Yes Grey worm!!
Yes he has vocals but no genital 😂
The little kid hugging his teen self, but him pushing him away for his older self to hug him just like the kid did speaks...so many volumes..
Can you imagine this whole time he was making songs and most of us weren't aware of it.
And like really really REALLY good songs lol
He actually was
I was aware
Sucks for yall! his 2016 album is great

it doesn't bang quite the opposite really, its smooth and such a meaningful song.
Missandei will have to disagree with you, she didn't get much BANG
@@zmejce14 HAHAHAHAHAH FEELING SORRY FOR HER EH
I love this song.
I got this song as an ad. It was probably the only skippable ad I chose not to skip.
From what I can tell, the elevator represents his life, and the various people who come on and off are both himself throughout his life (the child in the mother’s arms, the boy sitting down, the teenager in the hoodie, the guy with the agent) and people in his life.
This is supported by the numbers of the elevator floor which represents his age, as when the baby gets on its 1, when the child gets on its 7, etc. Them getting off the elevator may represent the people themselves walking out of his life, while the versions of himself may represent his regret for letting it happen, which is why he holds on so dearly for teen.
We also see him hug the teen. As we can see, the teen is the only one apart from Raleigh himself to be on the elevator alone. That hug could be him wishing someone would have cared for him at that age, and him telling his past self everything will be okay. We even saw his younger self try to hug the teen, who he pushes away, which may represent his teen self not accepting help from anyone, not even himself in his mind. This is also where the mother walks out, which shows her anger with him and how he is behaving. This is why the hug later is so important.
Finally, him wearing the space helmet represents how, while he may not know what will happen in the future, he is willing to explore it, like we explore the unknown aspects of space.
TheCraigadile THIS ^
Bro that was... Beautiful.
I think that your explanation is great. However, the 28 year old finally accepts the person/stage of his life that was destructive and gives him a hug representing full acceptance of himself and all his stages and all his past selves. "It takes a village to raise a man."
Also, he hugs himself and doesnt let the elevator doors close with his 14 year old self in there. Letting go of resentment or that stage which he wouldn't allow to get older with him.
This music video is beautiful.
still here, keep going man
Glad people finally recognized his talent beyond acting. This only had 1 mil for the longest.
Came here for this when I saw on his IG story it was near 6 million views and I watched it the other day at 1.5 million views

Just started college and feel like I've put myself on the completely wrong path. I want to crawl back to childhood, but instead it feels like I've thrown it all out to do something I don't really enjoy. The way you deal with the aging and the expectations of adulthood through your music resonates so much man, and I can't begin to express how grateful I am to be aware of you and your art. Keep it up, and never stop making what you love.
Hey Luke, you're gonna be great. Don't ask me how I know; don't ask me why I'm telling you this now. You'll see when u get there. Follow the paths that keeps you happy.
Signed: someone who's been where you're standing.
It's worth it
I’m right in the same space, bro. I don’t know if I’m on the right path, or if I’m kidding myself, but i can share with you something that helps me get through it all: everyone has an off ramp. You can always change lanes, take a different road, flip a u-turn, just keep driving. Everyone acts like you have to figure it all out now, but life is longer than it seems and we have tons of time to change our minds. Travel down this road for a while. If you love it, stick with it; if you’re miserable, take a different route. Nothing is set in stone.
I just wanna say, thanks guys. It's always a nice surprise to find a section of the internet full of genuinely nice people (I should've expected that from RR's fans though!). So again, thank you all so much for your kind words, and know that I'm taking them to heart. I'm going to come out the other side of this better and happier than I came in, and a big part of that is all of you.
In my victory lap (5th year) of college and I promise if they have you taking general ed classes (bunch of classes outside your major) it's likely you'll find something you love and often if you pursue it, work for it, and surround yourself with the right people, everything will work out. (Pardon my terrible grammar on this one lol)

Love the imagery of his innocent younger self handing him a space helmet. Nothing represents the unknown quite like space and the future. So stick on that helmet and embrace what the future has in store for you.
This guy is like the UK version of Donald glover. Wow, this video and the song are so creative and we'll made for each other. Good shit man!

That was 4 of the best minutes I've ever spent listening to music.
Thank you Jacob, that really resonated with me.
Real talk
I really like this one but i like :The Greatest and Stronger than ever , better
totally!
Damn this is some solid stuff.
The chorus is hypnotizing.
you're the chorus
So happy I started watching him in IWTV otherwise I don’t think I would have found out about his singing career!
Right, I already thought he had a great voice acting as Louis, but this is amazing to see even more of Jacob's talents
the floor numbers represent his age.
1st floor (1 year): He is the baby with the woman.
7th floor (7 years): He's the kid who's set aside by the girls.
14th floor (14 years): He's a teenager already, and you see him pushing aside his childhood, represented by his younger self, and with this, the woman and his child self leave, as the song says "I could be at NASA" (that will come up later)
21st floor (21 years): That's how old he was when he joined Game of Thrones, that's why u see all the managers around him. The music gets faster and more aggressive and he screams out of frustration, right after the lyrics say '''I wanna be 10 again, just me and Sonic, and nobody telling me I should be more than I am'' , expressing how he misses easier times. The other figure who joins the elevator is probably a friend, idk
and so again, he's about to move on, and his younger self is about to leave, but he holds him down and hugs him, that may represent acceptance, or maybe the affection he missed when he was 14, that now he's willing to give to himself, and then 14 y/o Jacob leaves, and the elevator go up to the 28th floor, which is his current age.
at the 28th floor, his child self returns to him and gives him back his dreams (NASA), and he accepts it. Which probably represents the dreams he set aside when he joined the show and how now he can make them come true, but also that he has his whole life in front of himself (right before the camera goes past the number display, the 28 turns into a lemniscate ∞, the symbol for infinity.
カイケ so deep. This is amazing. I appreciate this song and video so much. I’m also 28 and get consumed into thinking “it’s too late” to do anything about things I’ve wanted to do in the past or present. It’s never too late to do exactly what you want to do in life. Age is just a number and life is infinitely better when you do what your heart wants and not what people want for you. I love this.
Wow that made the video even more beautiful! Thanks for the explanation
That is deep! Respect
Jacob is talented what can you say...
カイケ exactly what I saw and I’m glad you typed this because my writing wouldn’t have been as crisp as that was.

Feel ya there.....
Too true
You can be my friend 😢
Hey atliest you seem to have aphex aswell though :P
FOZE
Literally still one of my most comfort songs ever, makes me feel I'm not alone in these thoughts.🖤❤
Besides of lots of GOT reference here in the comments section, I think the elevator levels signifies the stages of his life and his age (pay attention on the elevetor level signs on the right)
1 - as a baby, pure of innocence.
7 - as a small child and started to be alone
14- a teenager that struggles on his age
21 - when he starts to be famous and apparently its not enough with all the pressure he gets
28 - his current state. He matured a lot and he tried to hug his 14y/o self and tell everything will be rough but it will be alright eventually.
Lastly his 7y/o self gave him the helmet to protect him for future pain.
No one will help you but yourself. If you are young, its okay to fail time to time. Struggle is a huge part of life. And if you are a bit old and matured already, for sure you will do the same thing to your younger self and hug him/her.
EDIT: i wrote this breakdown without watching the breakdown on this genius video... my thoughts came purely right a way when i watched this video. As a person suffering from depression, it connects to me in lots of levels. Peace.
I thought the last part he finally sees himself as an explorer (astronaut)
Nabron Drummer that’s good too!
Yes!! And once he puts on the astronaut helmet the elevator level signs show to infinity and beyond! ∞ ^ ^ ^
