  • These words will never get old. Thumbs up. Period.

  • Everybody should listen to this at least once in they're life and hopefully they will never forget it as it is real and true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i feel so ALIVE

  • "Remember the complements and forget the insults...

    And if you succeed in doing this, tell me how"

    haha I love this part

  • This......wow, I lost my words for a second, this, is so inspiring. I now feel...feel grateful for what I have, and who I am.

  • Gods Bliss

  • I love looking at my photos of myself when I was 17 and 18 years old. I am 22 years old now and I am making sure I take photos of myself and store them on my hard drive that is connected to my computer. I have a backup of all the photos of me growing up so I will be able to keep them all the way until I get gray and old at the age of 100. People make sure you take photos of yourself trust me I am glad I did when I was 16,17,18,19 years old and I still am taking photo's.

  • i must at least listen to this once a week to remind myself life is worth living.

  • This song has made me closer to my sister. I am 22 years old and she is turning 21 in December. I feel like I am old now being 22 years old, I am looking back at my days of youth when I was 16,17,18 I treasure my photos of those ages. When a couple of months turning 21 I developed a condition called myalgic encephalomyelitis which means if I go for a 10 minute walk I end up in bed for days as it fatigues me. A lot of the time I am awake and other times I'm not. I think I am recovering I hope.

    The line "maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't" really got me today, more than it ever has before.

  • Been having a pretty crap time lately, making bad choices messing things up. Family relationships etc..... this song makes me realise bout taking things i have for granted, the innocense of youth when this song first came out my son was 2, now he is 13 nd i played it 2 him y'day the look in his eyes said it all. Things were bad but they getting better every day nd when i'm down i gonna listen to this song nd remember the look in his eyes nd i'll know it's gonna be alrite.

  • incredible.

    this makes me cry.

    fuck.

    WHY! i can watch fucking Titanic and not cry, but this...this gets me.

  • I think it's because when the music starts it's just so sad sounding, and makes you(well me) think of my childhood that i can never get back.

  • I advise people to do mushrooms once a year or once every few years and to listen to this song at least twice a year. Answers to finding oneself and being honest to oneself. Just beautiful, this song has helped me have a very happy life. I heard it in 1999 in my senior year in high school, now almost ten years later "the power and beauty" of this song is hauntingly true.
