  • It is through our technological feats that we can become closer together. Humans are thinkers, problem solvers, explorers. We can no longer submit ourselves to our old ways; ways that scolded creativity and logic. The pathway to our immortality has always been right in front of us; we must conquer that last great obstacle, ignorance, to attain it. But above all of this have hope; for it is the fire which drives us to find our purpose, the flame that makes us believe in ourselves and eachother.

  • You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

  • More than machinery we need humanity;More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

  • This song is far too short.

  • Most of the people that visit this song take this as a jingle of a video and ignore the musical potential of The Album Leaf. Shame on you.

  • Chaplin's speech and this song is a knife in our intolerance, in our arrogance which is getting bigger from time to time, until we going to die in a shower of ''fake'' peace health and opulence...

    RIP for our souls.

  • :) I can't give up hope in humanity when hearts like this still exist out in the world. Chaplin is by far, one of the most inspirational men that ever lived. To do his words honour, I'd share these words with as many who will hear it.. Spread the word -- Spread the love <3

  • Most beautiful song I've ever heard!

  • Listening to this soundtrack while reading all of these supportive comments makes me want to cry. :')

  • Charlie chaplin made me buy all his albums :3

  • The new song of hope.

  • poetic

  • Hey everyone, as someone who was just checking out the song. I just wanted to say I love all the positive vibes from the comments. If only all of Youtube was this awesome.

  • @myhondoz Me to mate, for once everyone seems united like they always be!

  • I wish that everything that Charlie wanted would come to pass, but at the same time I do not. I know that my words seem insincere, however that is not my intention. While I myself hate these blights that are upon humanity I also reconignize why they are there. Without struggle there is no need for technology and without evil there reason for good to exist. These blights are here for a reason so that people may be able to look beyond themselves and look instead at others, for if not you then who?

  • @Gforcemember45 That is one of the most insightful things I have heard in my life.

  • @Gforcemember45 Wisdom found in the most unexpected of places. Even here, you can find it.

  • @Gforcemember45 Hmm, I disagree. Do we actually *need* most of the technology we enjoy right now? Is the ipad the culmination of a great struggle against anything? Even when scarcity is removed, technology will continue to develop for its own sake. As for good not being able to exist without evil - I think that's a false dichotomy. I believe that goodness is a part of what we are, there is altruism in our genes.

  • @Toml420 It is my belief that our genes only help us to grow in body, not in mind and personality. No we do not need most the technology we have, but it is a nice bonus in this life. Humanity however, is not inherently good that is choice to be made by yourself. I believe that good and evil are not wholly exclusive from one another, but rather that they are that locked together always follwing where the other goes. But these are my own thoughts, and i leave you to yours. Have a good day.

  • @Gforcemember45 good and evil are really illusions of preferences. But I agree with you. I think what we should think today, is that we need to illustrate our kindness through the use of our technological evolution. Otherwise we might risk that someone too greedy gets the idea of misusing certain technologies that could otherwise be helpful, so to always remember to feel, think and reason while we progress, not to halt progress <3

  • @Toml420 you should watch (Zeitgeist moving forward) a very very good documentary (i request this because of the things you said you'll find it interesting.

  • Don't let it be a sad song. Let it be a song of hope.

  • When I read everything people wrote from the speech with this song.. it makes my heart race, my eyes swell, and my spirit fly...

  • No machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts are allowed here.

  • @SerGaToKaR omg i was laughing all day because of this

  • The aeroplane and radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world. Millions of despairing men, women and little children. Victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people..

  • Our cleverness hard and unkind.

    We think too much and feel too little:

    More than machinery we need humanity;

    More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

    Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

  • Our knowledge make us cynical...

  • we think too much and feel too little....

  • @3fairrw what does it mean?!!!

  • The rightful owner of power will come back to the people.

  • We are, rise up together, we are, fight for one another

  • "Im sorry.. but i dont want to be an emperor.."

  • This is THE SONG!!!!!!!!

  • No one sent me here

  • I cried for the first time in over 5 years after listening to this song and after thinking of all things in this world that cause others to cry everyday. At first i was hesitant to show my emotion, even though I am in the privacy of my own room, but then i let go of that, let my tears flow and now all I feel is hope.

  • best possible song for the charlie chaplin's speech

  • end war. end sadness. end broken hearts. end corruption. end hostility. end prejudice. end terrorism. end hunger. end racism. and most of all..... end inhumanity.

  • 2012 is gonna be a year of changes. i can feel the electricity in the air. work for peace! believe in it

  • Who was that guy that did a Slam poetry about a girl or something

    He used this song in the Video tho?

  • @Maxermo Anis Mojgani :)

  • @Maxermo Chris King Wong.

  • minimalism can be so fucking beautiful

  • This song is used in so many things. Anis Mojgani recites his poem Milos to this song. Andrea Gibson recites Birthday to this song. And Charlie Chaplin gives his amazing speech to this song. Needless to say, I think it's a song that is deserving of accompanying all of those incredible works of art.

  • its was awesome

  • This is beyond amazing. It gives me such a calm feeling, yet it is yelling at me... "Keep going, don't give up." There are no words in any language that can describe how amazing this is.

  • Films of 2011 - filmography '11 sent me here.

    AMAZING FILMOGRAPHY!! Please like, comment and share this masterpiece!!!

    /watch?v=X3JgI0DirUE&feature=y­outu.be&hd=1

  • a few bars into this song and its mesmerizing! hauntingly beautiful <3

  • this song transitioned 2011 to 2012 for me. i can already tell this will be a great year.

  • why hasn't youtube made a repeat button yet?!?

  • @sunshinelikevanilla If you're using Google Chrome, there's this addon called "Magic Actions for Youtube" it has all kinds of awesome stuff, like a repeat button :) haha, Happy new year!!!

  • @FadedFew Thanks for the info!! Happy New Year to you as well!!! Hope your year is wonderful and prosperous! :)

  • @sunshinelikevanilla They have? the pause/play button turns into a repeat icon when the video ends

  • @SanityPrawn I meant kind of like a continuous loop type repeat, but thanks for telling me :)

  • @sunshinelikevanilla add repeat after the youtube in the url, so it becomes youtuberepeat

  • @tivo304 thank you ^_^

  • goosebumps

    

  • Who knew so little was so much?

  • Charlie Chaplin sent me here

  • @Cosby117 me-too,every-person-on-the-pla­net-needs-to-hear-that-speech.

  • @AFRO5486 Agreed, everyone needs to hear it :)

  • @Cosby117 Me too :)

  • Comment removed

  • Absolutely beautiful. Nothing more needs to be said.

  • "all he seen when he came from the war was a world full of hate, suffering and killing and as he sat in the living room by himself he stared at the wall and realize there is another side to life. where humans are gentle, kind and honest so he choose that"

  • "It is, shall we say, a shortcut to simply ignore or overcome any desire. It must instead be understood and accepted. This takes patience and experience which can be analyzed with care, with compassion for self and for other-self." lawofone.info

  • nice music it sounds haunting it makes me think of kindness like a father giving his children hugs, a dog feeding his puppies, a teacher teaching kids a young person helpind out an elderly lady with her grouceris and how Jesus gave his life for us

  • 2 months ago i posted here...wondered why more people weren't praising the song itself who found it via charlie chaplin speech/remix. Lo and Behold, 15 more pages since I posted....and perhaps 1000s more have been touched by the tone and harmonics of this song. Merry Xmas. Music can change the world

  • i want to end my life when i hear this, im ready for another place,

  • This is also the background song of an amazing short vid, Growing is Forever

  • This is much more than Charlie Chaplin.

  • @Task1000, the Greatest Speech brought me here.

  • When I listen to this, I think of Charlie Chaplin Speech. RIP Legend.

  • When the world ends...please play this song.

  • Spiderdub made me think about the universe,

  • I play this song and it sounds so slow, But it feels like life is flying past me as i stand in 1 place. This song carries an energy.

  • Youtube repeat is the greatest thing ever. SO amazing. <3

  • The song ended. This made me sad. I played it again. That made me happy.

  • charlie

  • this is one of the greatest songs I've ever heart, I didn't drop a tear when a family member died but I did while listening to this track.

  • keep being love and light no matter the situation, live and love by example, strength and peace to all my brothers and sisters! WE ARE ONE! Give thanks to creator for your life, give thanks to family for their love, our return to the source, will be the saving of the planet earth from our mistakes...

  • 2:03 makes me think of this girl i just met. shes beautiful, one of the most coolest people ive ever met. When i first saw her.. my heart literally melted, and i had this feeling.. like i knew something.. but didnt know what. Walking up to her, i was lost for words.. but when she spoke, i could speak with ease. Like talking to any other of my friends. This girl makes me happy, and this song makes me think of her even more and how i can accomplish things in the future. This song is beautiful

  • Comment removed

  • @robt1996 Thanks :)

  • Nice people in the comments. I wish there were more people like YOU in the world. There's no need for hating, judging, etc. You're a good person, and you know it.

  • "sisi" -> tu sors -> [o ]

  • @boutelouxfabien Je ne comprends pas. Que cherchez-vous à dire?

  • Life is beautiful. Never take it for granted. Much easier said than done but that's what life is based off of. Pushing forward and never looking back. Doing what you want to do and how you want to do it. Holding on to what is close to you and letting go of what holds you back and what brings you down. You must love, respect, and care for yourself before you can even think about doing so for others. "Its not how long you lived it, its everything you did during it. "

  • @bigbrotharay I read your comment and was deeply moved. I wish I had friends like you. I believe in these things so much. Its been a hard life for me but getting better. I know everyone else in this worlds has tribulations as well. Ive always wanted to help people before I could help myself. Its so easy to get side tracked in this world today. We need to remember the past and come together as one and unite and put aside our differences. I love everyone in this world. Even though I do not know u.

  • @ToddBryantWelch :) peace to all gods children

  • inb4 people posting their dramatic life story... boohooo like you're the only one...

  • @MASEK360 I was a boy then...wandering the street, selling my body to the highest bidder so I could score some more smack. And that's when I found Jesus. Jesus the pimp in a '79 Grenada last night.

  • @diesel7777777 lol?

  • @MASEK360 You wanna party?

  • I'm just 14 years old, but, when listening to this song and Chaplin's speech, I'm just seeing all my life on a string. I see what I did good, what I did bad and what I never had the courage to do. I'm not the bravest man on heart, but I'd love to had the courage to do all the things I never did. I'd love to said to people how much I love them without the feeling that I'm too sentimental. I'd love to be able to live every moments as I see. And that's what I want. I want to be brave, to live life.

  • @123456789wil1 never forget this, because when you get older and get into college it is easy to forget these things. I'm 21 and in college, I thought I wanted to be a businessman and become rich, but I don't want that anymore, life is too short to to allow yourself to be consumed by greed, hate, and insecurity. Know yourself, start each new day like it's a fresh start, look at the natural world around you and always be aw-struck by it's beauty. We are lucky to live in an age where life can

  • @RoCk4LiFe90 flourish and is beautiful. Strive to learn something new everyday and you will expand your mind. Knock down your barriers and beliefs and allow yourself to determine truths and beliefs for yourself.

    If you ever feel lost or insignificant, know that you are small in the grand scheme of the universe, but never forget that chance has placed on this beautiful planet, you get to experience it's beauty and never forget the those who are closest to your heart they will be there for you.

  • if you liked charlie's speech. you should look up "the pale blue dot." a video with carl sagan + mogwai

  • <---- Uses this song whenever I type out my (pastor) talks or sermons as some people call it, i am a firm believer in Jesus Christ and the free gift of salvation gained through Christ.

    many of you probably disagree with me, if so i ask you either message me. Or simply bypass this comment, i feel arguing is pointless :)

    some verses though if your not opposed to looking up (because i dont have enough characters to type)

    John 3:16-17 (especially 17)

    John16:33

    1 Timothy 4:12

    James 1:2-3

    Psalm 25

  • @RevelationsProject Please don't use a secular song to proselytize. It comes across as false. 

  • This song is one of the most wonderful songs in the world. Every time I hear this song, I feel that I should change myself into a better human. Every time i hear this song, I try.

  • inb4 charlie chapl-

  • what movie was this in somewhat recently?

  • @beanpatch7 I think it's from the movie '9'

  • I love this song....they played it at my church camp during a time where it is completely silent and is meant just for prayer...this song makes me feel at peace!!!

  • @PureNRGislegit God hates lag!

  • jonh hallur also has some nice song like this

  • think of space... damn, i want to live in the future, not now while there are wars and uncuttable disease.. i want to live 500 from now, in a free, peaceful world.. i to be in space, exploring...

    i have some wild dream, but I'm insignificant to the universe and nothing i could ever do will change it..

  • @pipinho114 this is true, but don't forget, chance has placed you here on this planet and it is a beautiful planet. Wars and greed are superficial because we men like to think we can own the world, we can't. This planet is driven by nature and it is beautiful and pristine. We are lucky to be alive during the golden age of the universe where life can flourish and be beautiful. Do not dwell on few men's greed hate, but go out and experience the beauty that is around you.

  • Beautiful.

  • listen this with rainymood

    google rainymood

  • @UltimateSyjin thx dude!!!!!

  • @UltimateSyjin

    OMG YES

  • @UltimateSyjin gives me chills

  • I don't always listen to this song.

    But when I do, it makes me think of the greatest speech ever made.

  • Comment removed

  • it's so beautiful ;.)

  • I feel like such a dumbass, everyone's saying how an inspiring speech brought them here and yet I was brought here because of some guy who dubbed over the 60's Spiderman cartoon.

  • @TheTrueChaosUnifier Doesn't mean you can't experience the speech yourself. Go watch it. It'll inspire you as much as anyone. I saw it when I was 6 years old, and it moved me even back then, and still does today. Charlie Chaplin was a genius.

  • @solado hold on tight to that man and act on it !

  • once 2:00 hit i was like................. o__o

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Nothing else but tears of happiness !

  • Thumbs up if the Greatest Speech Ever Made got you here.

  • You can't listen to this and not think. It is so...pensive.

  • I know this joke has been overdone and overused, but why, why does this even have a dislike button?

  • I try to watch the Charlie's Chaplin's speech everyday. I have never listened and watched something that carefully as that speech. I hope it changes me so I can change the world. At least be one of the people who tries to change it. Change...

  • @TheSteems it took him over a month to right that speech, he wanted every word to mean something

  • @TheMagicalwill And he made it perfect.

  • @TheSteems Seems as though if you repeat change it will be implemented. Lol, but really. I'm listening to this with a fever of 39, the song is making me feel like I'm dying.

  • @mfgootcagfy Listen to something epic, you'll feel like your fighting your illness. :D Anyway, get well. :)

  • @TheSteems

    Good man!

  • @TheSteems Same here bro -Greetings form Austria!:)

  • At least Im not on the other side of youtube anymore.

  • huuuuuurrrrrraaaaaayyyyyy!!

  • no joke Charlie Chaplin's speech was amazing and with this it nearly brought me to tears. It makes you think of what we have come to as humans. Those two paired together is truly moving. I have watched that video over an over again because it makes me happy to no end. It makes me want to do good not just for me but for the world.

  • this is a good song for the end credits to a sad film project :)

  • We have really lost ourselves and what it really means to be human. To love one another, to care for one another. The world is at war, we have lost our humanity and therefore due to our actions the world is suffering. We must search within ourselves because all of us have the love of humanity in our hearts. We must carry on.

  • The closest gives me the most divine feelings in my head just like shrooms. Listening to this at the end of the day just clears my head of all negativity. :)

  • better than porn

  • i feel satisfy about my life and i start to enjoy it. no more complain.

    all because of this song and Charlie Chaplin's speech....

    from now on whenever i feel down, im going to listen to his speech and listen to this song, telling myself the world is awesome to live in and my life doesnt suck.

  • I have been looking for something more in life, I accepted a 9-5 job 5 days a week and i hate every second of it.I told my self, This is life, get on with it. After listning to this song and speech by Charlie Chaplin - I will not accept it as just life, I will live it how i want to live it, starting with setting my priorities !. This song helps me remember i am free. Do i sound stupid ? Maybe. But to me, i speak the 100% truth i have been seeking for so long.

  • This world has barricade us brainwashed us into working as a mindless drone, we are not free we will not be free until people have realized what there doing now isn't life it isn't how we are supposed to control ourself. We are here in this world to make progress and go as far as life will take us but sadly politics religion and all of other type of stuff controls us brainwashes us. All we think about is money and how we are going to get it. This reality is sad but only we can make it happy.

  • @SlurpOfficial

    Do some magic mushrooms, it will unbrainwash you. Seriously :) only if you feel brainwashed =].

  • @lgndarymeth Sounds like a good idea.

  • @SlurpOfficial

    Hey btw if you are actually doing it do it with good friends :) or just friends you love to hang with.  You will learn a lot. Like I felt and convinced I was in heaven because I was so distorted and I realised that heaven is now... it's only once your ego is set aside you are being one and true with yourself. And after reading that quote by Mathew or something "The kingdom of god is within man" it's so true dude. Proven& and experienced.

  • Comment removed

  • @lgndarymeth shrooms are amazing, but I have found that marijuana can be just as enlightening, either way there is so much that we can experience on this planet, yet we let the opportunities pass us by because we are focused on greed, and all things that would "brainwash" us.

    Thank you in advance for allowing me to voice my thoughts, you have a great day, and maybe someday chance will allow our paths to cross.

  • @SlurpOfficial Once you allow yourself to break down the barriers people have built up for you, and discover truth for yourself, everything becomes new. Start each day like it is a fresh start, learn something new, and you will expand your mind daily. Go out and experience the natural beauty that is this planet, for it is a beauty than cannot be owned by man no matter how hard we try. Chance has brought us to this place, in a time where the universe allows life to flourish and be beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • @Solado I totally agree with you. And as I like to say,

    "Do you choose to live life? Or just survive it?"

  • @Solado I wonder how this guy's life has changed since one month ago.

  • @Solado very nice man, lots of pleople dont understand this...

  • Charlie Chaplin sent me.

  • So simple but yes so powerful...its amazing how the simplest of sounds can make you change your mood and the way you act....amazing...
