I remember watching this with a few friends a few weeks back and rendered speechless by Michael's vocals in the intro. So uplifting and pure. Such raw talent. And now with his passing, I too have noticed the absence of the commercial from television rotation.
A shame really, because I felt the commercial stripped away all the bullshit surrounding his personal life and placed the spotlight back where it belonged, on his music.
soooooooooooooooooo sad his legacy will live on forever from when he was just a boy to his greatest hits as a solo artist people all over the world will love his music and appreciate it God Bless all of you and may are prayers be with the Jackson family. Goodbye Micheal Jackson
omg sooo weird, this ad came on tv a couple of days before michael jackson died.. i laways wondered who sang it.. i thought "waaw that kid is realy good at singing,he should be famouse" and today i found out it was MJ from the jackson five.. im amazed..
so when you die these are the comments people will say about you,exept your not alegend andit wont be on the news and millions of people wont be saying R.I.P
True. YOU all be there for someone too. Would your eulogy say that you were a hater, negative and not loved? What would someone say at your funeral about YOU?
This is a brilliant example of evocative institutional promotion. But the unfortunate reality is if you do get in an accident and call your State Farm representative, they will most certainly "not be there. They will tell you to call the 800 line. Been there.
there is only one question for me to ask: what has become of our world? actually 2 questions: why do we have so much sorrow? i wish our world could be without all the sorrows.
A shiver runs down my spine everytime I here this commercial. I just wanna burst into tears. It's so sad isn't it...what we've become;let alone the world we live on? There's a lot of things to change. It's just an insurance commercial but it has so much more meaning.
we're all followers. monkey see monkey do. its the way of human nature. we've got one planet to live on and look what we're doing to it. look at the people on it and watch them suffer. and its all our fault. we need a plan... fast.
its sick and wrong. and im not gonna blame bush even though im not a fan. its all of us. all of us have left a light on EVEN THOUGH we KNOW that global warming continues. we've all seen someone crying that we didnt know and thought of helping but just walked by acting as if you didnt see them.
this commercial makes me cry a little ): what happened to the world? innocense is lost and humanity is gone. this may just be a comercial but it shows things that happen to real people on this planet every second. you could be sitting there watching your favorite show while someone's out there fighting for their life or their kids lives.
They won't be there when you need them. After paying homeowner's insurance with them for almost 30 years, with never a claim filed, we had a sewer line break, causing about $50,000.00 worth of damage to our home....unfortunately, not a covered benefit. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there....only to collect premiums. Needless to say, we've switched insurance companies and hired a lawyer.
Read your declarations page. Sewer backup is excluded in almost ALL homeowners policies with any insurance company. State Farm is an amazing company that keeps impressing me.
yeah, were it not for how State Farm screwed its policy holders in the Katrina disaster, this would be a good commercial. Perhaps someone will record, "I'll be there, unless I can find a way to wiggle out of our agreement." Shame on you State Farm. Repugnant! The unmitigated gaul to post a commercial like this.
It is called a candle light vigil. They are held to either remember someone who has just passed, a tragic event or anything that people want to give support to...like a fallen soldier, murder or even civil rights.
That's my friend Laura at 0:17 second mark and she REALLY is fighting cancer! GOD BLESS YOU, LAURA my prayers are with you ALWAYS!!! Your buddy, Sean!
I wish every business treated its consumers like State Farm treated theirs. I have been with them since I was 16 years old and will never leave that company. It is by far a company I can trust
I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL everytime its on i rewind it over and over again i love the song and the commercial in general .
It really wins over the other insurance companies i mean who gives a crap about a freeken lizzard talking or a fat black guy talking in a deep voice . haha no offence .
Whoops. Lemme clarify. I mean this song on this commericial lol.
