The Free Hugs Campaign is a great movement. It is very inspiring of how it has traveled worldwide. Hugs are very healing in itself. I would love to see my song "Safe To Smile" be used for one of these Free Hugs videos because the song fits perfectly with its message.
Feel free to check out my music video for "Safe To Smile" here on You Tube. Hugs to all of you. (-:
The best thing about doing all this is knowing that some people really DO just need a hug; to forget about their problems... or hardships, or... Crap, I'm out of words, really.
Dear Ricky, I have just seen the video of the free hugs since France, you found the perfect music for this video...
I can say to you that I had tears in the eyes to see that people, strangers for you, come to make you an free hugs, the proof whom we are all in need of tenderness and hugs... Thank you for this movement which followed you to France...
I fully intend to take my grown daughters into downtown Columbus come Spring and DO THIS.. people everywhere need this! You won't stop smiling until your face hurts! LOVED THIS video, and there are videos in other parts of the world doing this same thing - search YouTube for "free hugs" and you'll see! Thanks so much.. whoever started this going - God Bless You!
how can people possibly "dislike" this video? just look at the people's faces - both the huggers and the huggees and you can see how the brief moment of personal human contact has had a positive impact on their day!
Dreams do come true,Hugs,smiles,and yes Love makes life what it is,Life,..... embrace it ! Dont always trust it ..At times love can be blind.....but always give it . and you will will find it will allways come back somehow ........True love is only in your heart......Blessed Be
i think these hug campaigns are inspiring to people and even the world. stuff like this spreads love, not war and other bad stuff this world has now. love and peace can fix a nation and make it one again. if we have war and hatred between other countries, nothing will work. by spreading love and peace, we the people can change our world. not the army, the government. YOU. no matter what race, where your from, you can do kind things like this and you will save the world andeventually. spread love
This is superb! Good job=) I think I want to do the same when I get home to Oslo in Norway;) I'll youtube the clip when I do;-) Thanks 4 the inspiration!<3<3<3 :-D
@xBrianner I think I have the answer to your question. Some people are so angry and bitter for so long that is who they become. When that happens all that they embrace is pain and ugly, that becomes beautiful for them. While things of true beauty is seen as ugly and distasteful. I struggle with bitter and angry people who can no longer see obvious beauty staring them in the face.
I'm think about doing this on campus during finals week. My finals are either a week earlier or online so I'm available on campus to do this. It's a nice way to spread love during the worst week of college. :D
you know, i love theses videos, and i always wanted to go to Hollywood, .... but, this might change my mind. Haha i mean they got a lot of people to hug 'em, but lets just hope there was some costume convention near there... but @2:41... that was just great ;)
this is so sweet! i genuinely like the idea hugging someone w/o anything in return except for love and happiness. This is so inspiring, i myself haven't done hugging my love ones except for my girlfriend, nevertheless i am inspired to do so to all my families and friends.(don't have guts to such thing) hugs from PHILIPPINES!!!!
@hisrobeormine ......sometimes our companions forget to feel....Hug to you (*)...for an awesome rendition of Somewhere over the Rainbow visit Eva Cassidy...and if I knew where you were I'd run to give you hug....J
only problem is the pervs other than that this is awesome!!! they might get a little too much touchy if you catch my drift. FREE HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It made me cry....what a beautiful thing you guys did. you probly made so many peoples day. its amazing what a hug can do. that such a little thing can mean so much.
@tomanyasses nah im in college, though now after reading my own comment a few times it really is annoying me how I typed it..need more sleep, and you're certainly right on what makes the world around lol
