This video was very well done and I thank you for sharing it with the world. I would like to use the link to this video with my new web site make which is designed to help people who have difficulty speaking, improve the ability to talk. My grandfather used to recite this poem at all family gatherings, and it has resonated through my mind, often, year after year. I am sure people with speaking difficulties and their care givers would benefit from it . Mark A. Ittleman

Good music.

[payoid]

The song in video is "Pavane" by Gabriel Fauré.

[brightlights456X]

"If all men can count with you, but none too much"

What does it mean by, but none too much?

[PeterTravisBooth515]

@brightlights456X This is my interpretation, "Let everyone's opinion have value, but don't give too much weight to any one individual." I want to find people I agree with, but I try not to ignore those with opposite opinions because they could be right. Or wrong...

[brightlights456X]

@PeterTravisBooth515

Yeah, that makes sence. Thanks baby doll ;)

[FADFAE]

[Jdthlnndkns]

Best poem. Best advice. Best roadmap for life. Excellent soul-work. Thank you.

[Hotlantaa]

My dad gave me a framed copy of this poem as a graduation present. It was so chill.

'Life is a cold stone stairwell that only leads to happiness if you lay the right stones'..... IF is a fine stone to add to your stairwell. Well done guys, very very good!

[quendy8why]

There is no need for music. The words draw you into them and banish the mirage of who you think you are.

[victtorianna]

What program did you use to make this? Its wonderful!

Illuminated Texts (typography) are so cool- its a beautiful way to hear a poem or story

[EuvgZenko]

hey,

It's really good but can you tell me please that song?The song which you use for the video?:)

[caiusbritannicus2]

@EuvgZenko Hey there. This is "Pavane" by Faure.  It's an arrangement of the original piece, and I sadly can't tell you which arrangement.

[EuvgZenko]

@caiusbritannicus2 okay,np:/

[c0rreia]

The goosebumps watching this are unavoidable.

[sway33755]

i played basketball in college. it was soo tough, and every morning i played this video, and it motivated me to just keep going. the heart in this video is amazing

[Forsakren]

@sway33755 Keep up the great work! Don't just work hard, work efficiently. If you can find a mentor, they can show you short cuts to save you time and frustration so you can get better, faster.

[halavais]

Great work. I've shared it with my class, and they like it as well. I am bugged by "term" (the poem uses the word "turn") but I'm sure it's not a big deal...

[bshablom]

Who is reading the poem? It sounds like Des Lynam...

He narrated the poem on another Youtube clip "If- World Cup 98"

[djmusic111]

This is so inspiring, I watch it whenever I think of it. It fills me with motivation and solidifies the will in me to excel. Thank You, Very well made.

[Marko295]

Two philistines didn't like this video.

[thedevilssaints]

The song is called Pavane, by Gabriel Faure.

[youjonnis]

bra dikt og musikk!!!!!!

[StealthlyNinja]

This is bloody brilliant! I showed this to my Junior English class. But I'm curious, what is the music playing called?

[GoDUltimatE]

@StealthlyNinja I would also like to know what this song is called.

[tradunkley]

stunning

[tomboyracer17]

YES!!!!! you dont know how long iv been trying find this!!!!!

THANK YOU so much (Y)(Y) !!!!!!!

[thedevilssaints]

Just learned the piano solo of this piece, "Pavane", by Gabriel Faure. Thank you, for of many things, one of the most beautiful compositions I will ever hear in it's original format, and in addition one of the most brilliant poems written by Rudyard Kipling. I have literally carried a copy of this in my pocket ever since i've heard this reading, and it is the one thing I strive to be, when I do pass away, and truly believe I achieved this, that I could have some, even if altruistic faith.

[thedevilssaints]

Whenever I ever am in a period of self doubt, or just depression, a lack of drive, a complete absence of the periodic void that frequents us all, I look at this, and it makes me think, about what I want to be, and what I can be. I see Derrick Redmond and his father, I think of Galileo in direct violation of the authority of the church to advance the noble cause of science, I think of all of the petty, sad, horrid and ignorant belligerents opposing them, and how much things matter.

[evanisthegreatest13]

what software is this made with?

its amazing!

[ahedayat]

You're very talented! Great job. I don't get tired of watching this video.

[MonsterMargaret]

I love this.

[vrgdmn]

This is very well done. I may use it for my English students.

[WhereDayAtWhereDayAt]

Very inspirational... for life, for the art and craft of design, and particularly for typography and motion graphics!!!!!

[gf5608]

if :) i love it

[SerenSeven]

TUNE!!! lol english class!

[Vlad88BG]

i have no words for this masterpiece

невероятно

[Aeschylus]

Brilliant; well done!

[tombonker]

An altogether poor reading of a classic. if this could inspire it would but only inspire the dull and easily impressed. You are woth more than this...

[kriztufer2001]

says a person who has never written any poem worth the ink used to write it

[bummercucumber]

One of my favorite poems. But you're right, this reading robs the rhythm.

[samer737]

priceless!!!

[kkablan]

this is one of the best poems I have ever read... it deals almost about everything in this complex world by asking each and everyone to keep HOPE and a better FUTURE...Especially with the phrase: "Hold on."...It is a great and inspirational poem... I love it.

[garryhiffin]

what song is this?

[s0baz]

Fauré: Pavane

[Drunkenmaster770]

classic tune- and marvellous job on the editing/animation- 10/10

[Jantcliff]

left me speechless!

[fearguyQ]

epic!!!

[55jaro55]

Very, very nice...thank you...

[yahhtrick10]

i love this poem,

but writing about it for english is.... difficult

[davidzuk]

this is the best i've seen of this poem. i was at boys state when i first heard it. a councilor recited it to us the last day. since then i memorized it and would often recite it to the wrestling team (i was captain) my senior year, and even now i remind myself of the meaning of this poem often with my endeavors in life. it reminds me to work harder when things are not at their best. its a poem that i feel should be said more.

[danlexboo112]

Beyond incredible, this is the crowning glory of a all time classic poem!!!

[lefoud]

Worderful

[jdzrt]

Great job. When I introduce this poem to my freshman class, I post access to your video on my blog so they can see the wonderful job you did. Thanks.

[XH558B2]

Fantastic an utterly brilliant...cant say more than that..

Thanks for posting

[DCCtheZan]

Great job! My sophomore english teacher showed us this on the last day of class, and it was touching.

Good work!

[Messjuh1]

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!

[ictbinsexy]

Epic!!! :D

[moeistheirleader]

Well done. it really is the "stairway to heaven" of poetry though isn't it?

[nanogirl]

INCREDIBLE!

[thedrownedworld]

if you add some video then this is amazing. i already gave you 5 star though.

[Pavluke]

Man, do I love this video.

[mussashe]

great job....5 star.........

[rascruciat]

EXTRAORDINARY!!!!!!! marry me!!!

[beaulahHadassah]

Greatly Commendable! 5 stars for an excellent well-modulated delivery, musical choir background, the artistic typographic presentation ... everything beautiful in all, I can't complain. I would like to make a vlog out of this better still if I will be allowed to incorporate this to my poetry blogspot. Thank you very much! Much enjoyed!

[TiagoLanca87]

Great Poem! thanks , the music could not be better chose!

[rainingonshinygrass]

So very true, and very good life advice.

Very good video :)

[bastard11187]

anyone know where i can get an mp3 of this?

[McConsumer]

download the video and rip it.

1)get firefox

2)get the addon "download helper"

3)get "format factory"

4)use FF and Dl helper to get the .flv file

5)use format factory to rip the sound

All of these are free, and useful.

[fate5demand]

This was wonderful. Very well done and a good choice in poem.

[666stringnublet]

I had so much stress until now. I feel this is the way life should be treated, the ultimate sacrifice that meets its prize and gives more in return...

I don't like poetry but I just realized how much I love this.

[namchild]

great piece.

[theithacan]

It certainly did brought a tear to mine. Lovely music. What's it it?

[fracturedminds]

[ethernat]

wow... very good ... well done

[chamesrichalds]

thanks for taking the time to make this. I love the message of the poem. please, what is the music in the backround?

[the2k]

Des Lynam is a legend! :)

[dektol76]

Wonderful. My father gave me this poem 30 years ago. Today it hangs on our family fridge. You brought it to life. BTW what is the music? Many thanks. How many hours did it take?

[WarriorPublic]

Thanks for the comments guys, it really makes the grueling effort of making this worth while.

Tell your friends!
