[kz1231]

it's not hard at all to be nice when you've done such a beautiful job on the mix. thanks.

[hiddenfall]

@kz1231 Thank you :).

[crazycrow76]

Wow. Great Video .. big Indigo Girls fan and have always admired Amy Ray .. 

[hiddenfall]

@crazycrow76 Thanks!

[MidoriNoLink]

Unfortunately I don't think this will have to be the last video that needs to be made. Well done for the video, keep it up.

[hiddenfall]

@MidoriNoLink Thanks for the awesome comment! Much appreciated :).

[YouImposter]

Thanks for posting! We need MORE vids like this.. WE SHALL NOT FORGET.

[hiddenfall]

@YouImposter No problem, glad you liked the video :). There's a similar one out there on YouTube made by gaspard281 called 'Love Of Our Lives'.

[YouImposter]

Good song and unforgettable images of civil rights struggles(and successes) in the good Ol USA.

Thanks for posting!

[hiddenfall]

@YouImposter Thank you!

[Ibarrasxgirl]

Thankyou for making this, it's utterly brilliant.

The protests and activists at the end gave me goosebumps (in a good way lol). I just hope I can be as passionate as them when I fight for what I believe in.

[hiddenfall]

@Ibarrasxgirl Thanks I'm happy that you liked it. I have the same feelings as you about the activists in the end...

[AnonymousWorld911]

i hate ppl that r racist

[hiddenfall]

@AnonymousWorld911 I don't hate them but they make me mad for sure.

[FaBFaB66]

YEAHHH

GOD HATES FAGS !

GO TO HELL BLACK PEOPLE !

THATS RIGHT !

VIVA LA ISRAEL !

FUCK DEMOCRACY !

GO NORTH KOREA !

WOOHOO !!!

[FaBFaB66]

@Ibarrasxgirl No honey, im not for real. lol.

I love everyone. Except north korea. :D

[Ibarrasxgirl]

@FaBFaB66 xD I fuigured and removed the comment lol. You can never tell on here... Some people are really stupid -.-

Why some people hate so much is completely unfathomable to me. People are people, the only thing any of us should be judged on is how we treat the people around us.

[FaBFaB66]

@Ibarrasxgirl All living things, not just people.

[hiddenfall]

@FaBFaB66 Lol at the all caps

[MidoriNoLink]

@FaBFaB66 really? you're doing this openly? I really hope you're joking.

[FaBFaB66]

@MidoriNoLink

Shut up u damn hipster

[MidoriNoLink]

@FaBFaB66 I'm just gonna assume hipster means, 'person with rational thought'

[TheSitara]

great vid and a great song

[hiddenfall]

@TheSitara Thank you and I agree about the song :).

[Altourus]

I have to agree with your post, in fact I would take it a step further and suggest that anyone advocating ignorance is looking to profit.

[hiddenfall]

@Altourus Thanks for reading the post!

[dotlol123]

You made an extremely powerful video with a stong song and heart-grasping pictures and commonly excepted thoughts. I got chills just watching the video.

XpeaceX

[hiddenfall]

@dotlol123 Thanks :).

[jholt71]

Awesome video for an awesome song--thanks!

[hiddenfall]

@jholt71 Thank you!

[EasedBluntman]

.... cold chills. the signs (not even the people) at the beginning make me so angry at the idea of protesting war by disrespecting soldier's family. praise the one who sends them & beat down the ones who have to follow their orders.

[hiddenfall]

@EasedBluntman I think they will protest pretty much anything that will get them media coverage and general attention.

Even the KKK put out a statement saying that they have nothing to do with that group. I mean damn you've gotta be bad if the KKK disowns you.

[TherapyFromStrangers]

great song! - Therapy From Strangers.

[hiddenfall]

@TherapyFromStrangers Agreed.

[davis771]

I think it's a great video. Good job! Thank you!

[hiddenfall]

@davis771  Thank you, I appreciate it :)

[straightpartpede]

2:59 is the cutest thing in the world! i got that cheesy grin....so adorable.

[hiddenfall]

@straightpartpede Aww :)

[mcbarron23]

makes me sad and SICK! please tell me why people need to hate so much? why?

although it is a very simple thought: live and let live. period.

[hiddenfall]

@mcbarron23 I think many are just too wrapped up in all the negativity, makes it super hard to change. Plus they might not want to go from thinking they are part of some 'master race' or privileged class to fundamentally being equal to everyone.

[hiddenfall]

@redder415 No need to troll the comments section here.

[meredithscott76]

Seeing those images just reminds me of what hateful savages we can be. My hope and prayer is that we can evolve past all this hatred and learn to love each other like they are all family.

[hiddenfall]

@meredithscott76 I think it will happen but it'll take time. A lot of time lol.

[roswellborn]

Thank you for this video. MIghty powerful for "only" your 3rd one. (it was chilling to see it on tv every nite, too)

[hiddenfall]

@roswellborn Thanks!

[hpl101]

thts amazing!!!

[hiddenfall]

@hpl101 Thanks :)

[CrAzYLaDiEs91]

Powerful Video! I have shared this with my husband and some friends and after seeing it again tonight, I will share with some others who will be sure to appreciate your effort!

[hiddenfall]

@CrAzYLaDiEs91 Eight months and I never replied to your comment, sorry! Anyway that was very nice thank you :) it's awesome to hear that people are passing this around.

[mayanlotus]

Really love this video.....great job!!!

[hiddenfall]

@mayanlotus Thank you I appreciate that :).

[nosh1j2j]

thank you amy, for your music, and thank you forever to my misfit group of friends in high school who introduced me to your musical poetry. you changed my life forever!

[Ryunosuka]

This video is wonderfully effective.

farmofbirds is wrong. That you explored various civil rights subjects shows that you are a global carer, not just affected by one sort of horror in this world.

[hiddenfall]

@Ryunosuka Thanks, happy that you liked it :).

[conoba]

I laughed my ass off at the guy in the shiny purple KluKlux Clan Outfit.

How flamboyant.

[hiddenfall]

@conoba lol!

[Caterfree10]

*APPLAUSE*

[hiddenfall]

Caterfree, :)

[QueerLiberation]

I love this woman, she is 100% goodness.

[hiddenfall]

@QueerLiberation Yeah she's pretty awesome.

[hexabba]

I think you did a wonderful job, and unlike others who say that it would be better to stick with one topic, I believe that expanding the topic to all civil rights is a great way to make a powerful statement.

I loved the video, and I am glad that you took the time to put it together!

Thank you!

[hiddenfall]

Hi Hexabba, Thanks for that!

[Onlydreamin1959]

What do you mean by being nice to you? This is absolutely chilling and beautiful at the same time. The visuals are relevant and make me want to cry. You've done an absolutely wonderful job here.

[hiddenfall]

Hi Onlydreamin, Thanks :). As far as the 'be nice to me' thing...this was only the third video I'd ever made and I was worried that it would suck and people would be really harsh about it in the comment section. Turns out I was worried for nothing though since everybody's been really kind and generous with their feedback.

[farmofbirds]

beautiful - the shift from hateful to positive images made me cry! but i did find it disjointed in time and subject, going from present homophobia to past racism to present gay pride... racism is alive in the present - cops still beat Black men daily - it's captured on cam a couple times a year. and after all the racism shots i wanted more racial-harmony antidote... i think this video would be *even* better (it is already good) if it stuck to one topic. but thanks for the beautiful inspiration.

[hiddenfall]

Hi Farmofbirds, Thanks for the honest feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to write that.

[rickywwilks]

Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to put the visuals together for such a great song.

[hiddenfall]

Rickywwilks,

 Thank you, I appreciate that :).

[ROTCQuaker]

This miss represents Christianity as a whole. It's a very very very small sect that want's death to homosexuals. And there is no connection to christianity and racism. I am a huge christian, but am not racist, nor do I, or any of my christian friends, want death to homosexuals. To those who think this video represents any real group of people should go do some real research. But over all, not bad as a video.

[Onlydreamin1959]

Good for you and thanks for setting the record straight. And thanks for judging the video as a while, seperate from your beliefs. I'm glad that you don't wish death upon homosexuals, because there are a lot of homosexuals who are Christians, which is what this song is about.

[hiddenfall]

Hi ROTCQuaker, Thanks. Just to clarify though, the intent of the video isn't to represent Christianity. The point is to address the problem of religion being used as a tool for doing hateful things and oppressing people's civil rights. How can these kinds of problems be solved? Just like most things, the most important step is actually seeing that there's a problem in the first place.

[cantxlive]

Amazing video. I'm a lesbian and my girlfriend told me about this video.

You did a beautiful job.

[hiddenfall]

Cantxlive, Thank you!! :)
