JACKSON WANG | HIGH ALONE MV

Comments

His vulnerability just triggers this maternal, protective instinct in me .. like I just wanna give that man a hug! 😩. From my perspective, the video seems to depict that he walked into this life willingly wanting to be a performer, but that there were always people behind the scenes forcing him one way or another. Then, once he was in the metaphorical box, he thought he could break free, but the people responsible for his welfare / in control of his freedom wouldn’t let him leave and made a spectacle out of his downfall instead. Like you said, there’s also that double meaning of high alone; one being that he’s literally getting high alone (drinking/possible substance abuse) and the other being that once you’re at the top, you feel more alone than ever. I think over the past year or so, he just seemed to be struggling so much and has been almost desperate for some kind of meaningful human connection, so I really hope he’s been able to find that or at least even feel some sense of it by opening up and laying himself bare through his art 🤍

That is the thing about Jackson that I have always loved. He is as genuine and vulnerable as he is able to be, and then some. When I first watched him back in the early days when he was on a lot of variety and reality tv shows -- like Roommate in 2014 --, he rarely could hide what he was really feeling and just engaged with everything. He was always quick to make friends, and there was always an underlying level of sweet spirited playfulness and respect toward others. As Jackson experienced more he definitely seemed to get more self-reflective and guarded, but then there came a time when he just started speaking out about the most difficult challenges he was facing. His music and performances became intense artistic expressions and incredible productions while he mastered every aspect of a live stage. It's just that when you look at yourself and life as honestly as possible and meet it head on, there will be times when you'll either rage at, detach from or make social commentary about the many great and terrible truths out there. Healthy and unhealthy coping mechanisms surface for everyone, but Jackson's honesty and willingness to explore what it all means is what makes him an incredible artist and will likely be what keeps him living and striving for his next dream. Love him.

This is really thought provoking cause it can go so many ways...the people leaving at the end when the "show" was finally "over" could also kinda mean how society in general is only there for the drama and not to actually help and be helpful. Looking forward to his new album!
