this seriously made me feel so much more relaxed about my future. like im only a sophomore in high school and my parents are asking me about college and grandparents are asking about boyfriends and im like 'im only 16!!!!' and they were asking me about college when i was in MIDDLE school!!!!! this definitely made me feel better :3
I first heard this song in my 11th grade English class and I haven't thought of it since. But yesterday, my best friend and I read it. I realized what I've been missing.
ii posted this on my fb and directed it towards all my white female friends who look 15 years older than they should be because they treat their bodies like a chicken in a rotisserie....definitely the best douchebag/constructive advice someone could give!
@innerxcityxkittie Me too especially at the parts about getting to know your parents and being kind to your siblings. Both are VERY IMPORTANT THINGS to remember.
This should be every pregnant woman's lullahby. Every child in North America needs as much encouragement as possibile, even if she/he will be sorely disappointed at what life outside the womb brings...
My english teacher showed me this video at the end of junior year because he was leaving. Everyone in class cried because we are graduating soon. Cheers class of 2012!
This is not just a song it's a religion!!! Relate to past or current situations, none of us are perfect and it just points that out!!!! AMAZING REAL LIFE STUFF!!!!
i remember this song was on the radio constantly in the summer or 1999. even then i was like WTF. anyway. we were talking about it at work so i had to look it up again. something for those of us that were in high school at the time to remember later in life.... like now.
@ZoetePoep id reccomend it too but teens now (yes im one too but i got caught by the song) would just think its a stupid song cause its not there type of music and not listen to the lyrics
@WillowBloodDrive so you mean to say that the rest of your classmates are just a bunch of dumb thirteen year olds while you on the other hand are on a different dimension all together?pff.
I love this video~! I'm 64 years old, and I'd give the same advice. Try to follow most of it.....you'll find happiness comes with how you view *your* life, and others, on a day to day, often hour by hour, basis. Enjoy and Enjoy ***now***. :)
This is a great song. Im young and it reminds me to appreciate my youth and to stop caring too much about how i look because some day i will wish i was young again.
@blairthestud Jealous of ego-maniacs who's selfishness hast cripppled their economy? No thanks. I'll stick with my place, where we help each other out and have a great economy :p
@jayBredd I choose to believe that this song doesn't preach to one's ego, my friend. I like to think it gives us hope by dispensing wisdom that is grounded in logic and laced with hope. One's individualism is not mirrored in an economy but in the way we choose to live our life. Our way of life, our 'ego-maniacal' individualist ways, are spreading throughout the world. The middle east experiences this; to have the freedom to do what one wishes his or her own life. To live the way one wishes
@blairthestud Like I said, I agree with the advice, but every single thing is based on the selfish individualst. A typical Anglo-American denial of the other. Freedom for all, will only come when all are equal. One's individualism is forged by the economic powers of propaganda over the sheeples mentailty. The American "way of life was spread through the barrel of your gun. Read your history. Arabs are revolting against dictators and economic structure upheld by the USA
I have lived my life by this since I was 12. granted its only been 6 years but still. It was just recently brought back to my attention by my wonderful english teacher in preparation for graduation. it is wonderful
@LilsMae don't regret anything.. you're still young, you'll make mistakes. most important thing is that you learn something from it. you still got your whole life in front of you ..
I think it's kind of funny that some people ACTUALLY think this video is about sunscreen! As for everyone else... wish I could give you all a big hug :-)
Yeah near pure aluminum is good for you, it's good to dump that into your pores and think it will help. NONSENSE. We are like plants. We need sun. Just don't get burned and be smart about it. But for God's sakes understand that the contents in sunblock are some of the most toxic things you can put into your body.
This song, quite frankly, is amazing. The simplicity and poignancy is subtle yet succinct and if all of Christendom lived by the values / suggestions relayed within the lyrics of this song then the ENTIRE world would be a better place. I was brought up to believe and live, almost, the same values and if everyone was the same or similar then this world would be a nicer place. Xx
No, really, trust me, wear sunscreen and use moisturizing cream. There is not a cream out there as carcinogenic as the Sun. And the rest of the song makes total sense too!
sunscreen is carcinogenic, i only use it when i rarely spend time on the beach... cuz of our depleted nutritional intake, we don't have what it takes any longer to NOT burn from the sun, how unfortunate is that?
@JasonBlakwing - This song is about life... Past, Present and Future. The sunscreen thing was just to catch your attention... and by the looks of it... it worked. :)
@JasonBlakwing look beyond the obvious. . Sunscreen is a protection,, I suppose the advice in this track is like a protection against the harshness of todays life.... thats what I got from it anyway
At this moment of my life I feel joy,because I realised how cool was I, when i was a kid and that I have spent a day with my friends that I know for over 13 years.How beautifull is that?Its kind a funny that I realised that i want to feel like I am 8 years old.I wont worry any more about the clothes I wear,how many friends on facebook I have,etc..Now I realised how much have I learned in my life and how much I changed.Haha I wear sunscreen!
I'm so sick of kids on YouTube posting their life stories and expecting sympathy.
