Heartstopper Nick & Charlie | CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue

[Lyrics]
Light...
Is all over us
Like it always was
Like it always was
Shaped...
By the clearest blue
But it's not enough
It's not enough, not enough
Just another time I'm caught inside every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides, never quite learning why
You'll meet me, you'll meet me
You'll meet me halfway
Whenever I feel it coming on, you can be well aware
If ever I try to push away, you can just keep me there
So please, say you'll meet me
Meet me halfway
Tied...
To the shifting ground
Like I always was
Like I always was
You...
Were the perfect storm
But it's not enough
It's not enough, not enough, not enough
Just another time that I go down, but you are keeping up
Holding to a hope you'll undermine, never to be reversed
Just another time I'm caught inside every open eye
Holding on tightly to the sides, never quite learning why
Whenever I feel it coming on, you can be well aware
If ever I try to push away, you can just keep me, tell me
Tell me, tell me you'll meet me
Tell me, tell me you'll keep me
Tell me, tell me you'll meet me
Will you meet me more than halfway up?
Shaped...
By...
Clearest blue
Shaped...
By...
Clearest blue
Shaped... (Will you keep it half-a-way?)
By...
Clearest blue (Will you keep it, half-a-way?)
Shaped... (Will you keep it, half-a-way?)
By...
Clearest blue (Will you keep it, half-a-way?)

I love that Tara & Darcy’s kiss is EXACTLY where this song 🎧 🎶 hits its APEX… and it is this kiss that helps Nick find his way to his true self, & to Charlie.

[cash_eye]

I love the rain scene but the scene where nick is smiling when he saw Tara & Darcy kissing will always be my absolute favorite

[entish]

Representation gives us courage we might never have had.

[maxgarete]

I'm not gonna lie, I have seen this video an unhealthy amount of times. It's wonderful. Well done! I'm a woman in my mid-forties, married with kids, I have also always liked women but I've never acted on it, still the sight of this sweet young man being lit with the colours of the bisexual flag gives me such a strong sense of belonging, it's crazy.

[vaishnabiswas]

I don't think I've ever been so madly in love with a show before.
I mean, series like Friends and HIMYM are jewels in their own right, but this one has tugged at my heartstrings in a way I can't even begin to explain.

I can't pinpoint what exactly it is about the series (or the comic, which I completed in one sitting), but the simplicity, sweetness, poignancy and innocence of it has worked some kind of magic on me.

Maybe another factor is that I could relate to all the characters at some level.
Like Nick, I have taken those "Am I bisexual" quizzes a number of times.
I could identify with his confusion and his feeling of getting overwhelmed and scared.
Like Charlie, I know what it feels like to develop feelings for a friend whose sexuality you're not sure of.

There were countless small (yet priceless) moments between each of the couples (especially Charlie and Nick, of course) that we witnessed throughout the series.
I could see myself in them -- I was reminded of my school years, my first love, and how the most insignificant moments between us are still vividly clear in my memory.
Be it Nick's pen explosion, Charlie's bonding with Nellie, Nick's sudden gesture of hugging a "cuddly" Charlie, Nick's hesitation to touch Charlie's hand while he was asleep, Nick gently removing the mud from an injured Charlie's cheek, Nick calling Charlie "Char", Nick shyly entwining his fingers with Charlie's at a horror film, their awkward laughs and "Why are we like this?"..
Each moment evoked a sense of nostalgia in me of a world I have left behind forever.
A piece of innocence that I'll never own again.

I have probably not gotten attached to fictional characters so much since FRIENDS or HIMYM.
And I don't know why, but the characters being young and inexperienced compared to the main leads of the other series developed in me an inexplicable feeling of affection owards them.
Each character leaves his mark, but the true "Heartstopper" (at least for me) would be Nick.
It was so refreshing to see a typical "jock" character whom most other creators wouldn't hesitate to caricaturize not falling prey to any of the familiar tropes.
There are moments when I simply wanted to reach through the screen and give him a hug.
His honesty, sensitivity, thoughtfulness, self-restraint, childlike innocence and considerate nature bowled me over.
Considering both the comic and the production, Nick will go down as one of the most beloved fictional characters I will remember.

My heart goes out to Charlie too..
Everything he's been through, how it has seeped into his personality making him self-effacing and excessively apologetic and how he and Nick fight against all of it together ❤️.

The very decision of the showmakers not to unnecessarily complicate the series or drag the narrative with redundant subplots has rendered the series almost flawless, so to say.

And the LGBTQ+ centricity of the story enriches it even more - with all the hesitation about "coming out", the fear of judgement, the uncertainty of whether feelings are unrequited or mutual.


I finished all four volumes and I really hope the series does justice to it in the upcoming seasons too.

Series dealing with LGBTQ representation and mental health issues have been made many a time before. But the very fact that we got to look at these issues from the perspective of an inexperienced teenager augments the effectivity of the portrayal in a way I can't explain.
Nick's efforts to tell Charlie about his eating disorder, his mom standing solidly by him as he tried as he tried to help Charlie, Charlie's subsequent spiralling and his journey (which is beautifully pointed out to be likely a lifelong one) left an indelible impact on me.

And don't get me started on Nick and Charlie😭.
I can't get enough of their goofy smiles and shy glances at each other, their passionate hugs, their teasing and their beautiful, beautiful love.
Count me among the biggest shippers omfg🤧.

And I loved how the comic kinda blended into the series through the cartoon fires and sparks, animated snowfall, the sand and the sea at the beach, and of course the leaves🍃.
Not getting over any of it anytime soon.

Also the SOUNDTRACK!
Probably the best since HIMYM that a soundtrack blended so well with the series and its characters.
My favourites are:
1. Don't delete the kisses
2. Sappho
3. Dance with me
4. Why am I like this
5. My own person
6. What's it gonna be
7. I want to be with you
8. Any other way
9. I belong in your arms
Listened to each of them multiple times.

Can’t explain how much I love this series, and how they matched It with CHVRCHES, they are by far one of the most talented bands ever, clearest blue is perfect for that scene, thank you netflix for considering CHVRCHES specifically for that scene. I just missed Troye Sivan in Heartstopper, he’s another great singer and he has the perfect style for the series

[mikalmos]

By far the BEST edit of Heartstopper (including scenes before and after the ladies kiss) with this song and there's a lot of them out there.

[jayrockhammer]

When I heard this drop in heartstopper I literally cried. Made me think of growing up in new york city as a young gay kid worried about my sexuality. I had that moment when I finally went to a club and released all inhibition and danced with whoever I wanted being true to myself. Powerful!!

[danielkluver]

I am currently in corona isolation and only found the series in September. I've probably seen the season 9-10 times and this song caught my eye every time. I love this song and others that appear in the series.

[wyoutube]

One of the best, most beautiful, endearing, heartwarming, emotional series I’ve ever watched. It fills me with so much joy, and this whole scene with “Clearest Blue” was amazing. I still rewatch it.

[Jimlovesmusic]

This video helps us to understand better that love is love. The story is so innocent, romantic, and genuine that it makes me cry. Thank you, Alice Oseman and Netflix, for Heartstopper (and this music).

Love Heartstopper, love CHVRCHES so this is perfect for me. Thank you. 😊

[lordbyll]

Wow, Great video!! There are many special scenes from Heartstopper, but definitely, these two scenes (1:55-2:44) and (3:20-3:50) are the most iconic plots, of the movie, where many people have felt identified in a certain way, that's because, in essence, it is what really reflects having to hide a feeling for someone until that moment arrives where you allow Love to flow and illuminate everything around you; because love makes you free, it gives you the strength to face and defend what really makes you happy without feeling ashamed to express your feelings for reciprocate love, whose being fills your heart with genuine light. No one can fight and hide their own feelings because in the end destination will seek to merge both hearts into one between two beings in love! Definitely, Heartstopper is the series that has inspired more than a generation and that will be remembered forever!

[mutability]

Heart bursting scene of young love, it makes me so happy and hopeful for this new generation. ❤️

[yolaynaminter]

Nick makes Charlie feel safe and Charlie makes Nick feel seen. Full Stop
