There's something about seeing an old man singing this, with that tube probably helping him to breathe. It puts things into perspective for me. It completely brings the song to life and gives a stronger meaning to it. Bravo.
If anybody is interested, you can buy this song, and about 15 other songs from the film from the iTunes Store. A great version of this song! Really poignant!
I can't believe people actually dislike this. Maybe its because I've actually seen the movie or maybe it's something else but this song is definately one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
"Stuck in reverse", like a car with a broken gearbox, would imply that you cannot move forward with your life because of a certain event/situation. It can also mean that you constantly refer back to things that have happened and so cannot get over them!
I got a sign that hangs in my music room that says "Without Music Life Would Not Be Fair".
This is exactly what it is talking about. Music touches and comes from our souls. Age, money, black, white, sickness, health etc...can never control the soul. We all have an even playing field when it comes to music and a old guy with an oxygen mask can move me just as much as Metallica performing Master of Puppets! I love it!
@jojomcfro: a poem "Here's to jo jo mcfro, j is for jerk-off, o is for the sin of onan, j is for the jerk-off you still are, o is for the self-induced orgasms that are all that you live for, m is for the man that you aren't, c is for the c-word that aptly fits you, fr is for the f-off that you undoubtedly r, o is for onan again (knock it off), together they spell jojomcfro, a bro who is not worth Fred Kittle's spittle.

i honestly couldnt stop laughing when i first saw this. the completely off tempo breaths make me literally roll on the floor laughing....HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
@RetroMonkey101 This is from a documentary. It's was one of the best I ever seen. As they were training for the show, these old people with serious illnesses were passing away. Pretty good to see they had one more thing to look for. God bless them !!
I would like to know the reason or story behind the people who press the dislike button. I mean people have their own reason and right to do whatever. Maybe some of 'em have a very sad story related to their elderly that its too sad & traumatic for 'em that they dont like this video or particular song. Maybe some of 'em just don't like Coldplay. There has too be a reason whatever it is. Because if somebody just dislike this inspiring video w/out any reason at all, then I dont know what to say
I started laughing at the tsks in the beginning becuz I thought it was someone playing a tambourine.... And then I saw the oxygen mask, and at the end I was crying...
I just watched this whole show on some channel... yeah, i balled my eyes out. big time. it was the saddest thing ever. and their attitudes are just brilliant. I totally love old people for their passion and looks in life.
An amazing statement of life. Keep going...LIVE every moment of every day that God sees fit to give you. Be thankful for what you have, and at peace with what you don't. Thank you, Young at Heart for the reminder, cause I'm not so very far behind you, and appreciate your blazing the trail. ♥
This song reminds me at my grandpa. When I was a kid & with him he'd always sing a song for me before I went to sleep. Mostly beautiful songs from The Turtles or Mama's & the Papa's, Jim Reevs, etc...but also naughty song like:'The cabinboy, the cabinboy that dirty little nipper, he ligned his ass with broken glass and circumcised the skipper'. Then we'd roll off from the bed from laughing. Few months later he died of cancer.
this documentary will change your view on the senior citizen community and also what a song can really mean or do for people. Great version of the song it impacted me for life.
I never liked the original version of this song - always changed channels when I heard it, but when I watched this documentary and listened to this song being sung - I couldn't stop the tears, what a beautiful version - thank you for sharing
