  • It's such a great movie. Singing can give peoples so much!

  • In regards to the huge balls comment, he does have them but it's because he's 90

  • fuk...i hate it when i get teary in the middle of the day...can't help it though.

  • Maybe the air tank acted as a metronome to keep his timing:)

    Good thing no one in the crowd held up a lighter or there would spontaneous combustion from all blue hairs' o2 tanks in the crowd

  • Damn....

  • If you're calling me disrespectful yet you call me a dick. Pot kettle black my friend

  • I might be a dick, but all I hear is the oxygen hiss every few seconds. "I will try...hiss... To fix you"

  • @edmoiler13 yeah you are a dick. so disrespectful

  • how can people dislike this?

    

  • What movie is it from?

  • @brblondie44 it was in a Documentary about the young at heart choir, that I first heard it.

  • 5 Seconds of this video and i start crying <3

  • Saw this documentary on netflix and I could not stop crying when this song finished! I love this version ♥

  • Hey, you can. Go do it.

  • 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.

  • sehr, sehr bewegend!

  • I missed my grampa so much when I saw this...He had the same voice when he sang...he died of cancer...R.I.P. oldman....I love you still.

  • Beautiful

  • *-*! Voces que llegan al corazón.

  • great job....

  • Thank you. Made me cry. Very very beautiful.

  • Damn I was hoping they'd do the full song! Amazing though...

  • Great Version!

  • Thank you, Fred Knittle. RIP.

  • 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!

    Emotional!

  • how could anyone say anything bad about this? it doesnt matter about how they sang it, its the meaning of it.

  • a liitle diffrent but Amazing cover

  • To see an old dude doing this, is probably one of the most inspirational things i've ever seen in my life.

  • derramé  lágrimas

  • This version of the song is amazing. It made me break down in tears. :'(

  • 20 People dont have a heart

  • coldplay have ever seen this?

  • 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.

  • could someone tell me what's the metaphorical meaning of "stuck in reverse"?

  • @NoBunagaK

    "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!

  • @Olliguer

    Thank you Olliguer its really nice to find people like you.

  • I always tell myself not to watch this because despite how inspiring this movie is, i always cry at the end..

  • @nostalgicBurst Me too. It reminds me how precious and short life really is.

  • that's very moving.

  • That was beautiful

  • There's a lot of pain in those eyes.

  • 2:43 is what music is about.

  • @AndysMouseRatBand

    go to hell you asshole. I hope you get your ass shanked. 

  • @Jayneisthebest

    trolololo..too easy ;)

  • @AndysMouseRatBand Obvious Troll is Obvious

  • simply the best

  • ghandi at 2:18

  • I just cried and im still crying right now .. dont know why but im so sad ...so moving :')

  • how many people found this by searching "fix you old people choir?"

  • 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!

  • This is so beautiful and great! He is such a great singer!

  • crap.. I'm 35 but not feel any younger then them :(

    somebody please fix me

  • holy crap nice singing old man :D

  • Ugh. I cried. I just. Ugh. 

  • driven to tears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ayer vi la peli y este momento me dejó helado. Uff...

  • @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.

  • @thejojomcfro You have great courage, exposing your idiot ass for all the world to see

  • @RetroMonkey101 i wish at thejojomcfro to suffer the same.. The truth is that nobody will remember him after he dies, even to say something bad

  • @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 !!

  • @thejojomcfro watching you gag on your dads dick last night made me laugh so hard I was on the floor rolling around crying. <3

  • ♫ . . . tears are streaming down my face . . . .RIP - you are still loved

  • When I first saw this I was bawling my eyes out. Now I can't hear the original version of this song though. Nothing compares to how real this seems.

  • Real tears. Beautifully done.

  • I love you Fred knittle RIP

    " Ya did good"

    Cold play would be proud :)

  • This guy is a grade-A badass!

  • Rip pops I love you

  • I would just like to say this is my grandfather and to this day when I see this I cry

  • @Brianissocool517

    I don't blame you! He's not my grandfather and it makes me cry too. I actually like it better than Coldplay. But I admit I'm old :)

  • this made me bawl like a baby!! so beautiful!!

  • 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

  • 17 people have no soul

  • 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...

  • Beautiful

    Excellent

    Love

  • I Cry

  • Beautiful always brings a tear to my.

  • The best version of this song by far, beautiful performance by a great singer.

    thank you Mr. Knittle, thank you.

  • rip Fred Knittle

  • Young@heart is a great movie and this song was just amazing!

  • 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. ♥

  • I take my hat off to this man. May his friend rest in peace.

  • This is a remarkable movie and Fred's performance is the incredibly touching finale! Do yourself a favor and watch Young@Heart.

  • this is awesome! The only bad thing are the subtitles, very annoying :(

  • Sehr bewegend!

  • The best documentary I've seen in a long time.

  • 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.

  • @Jofph That's very touching, I too miss my grandfathers... all of them really.

  • Spirit of Life - Spirit of Love .. what a wonderful sound of heart !!!!

    I love this movie...

  • probably the most beautiful way to spend your last moments of life. RIP. 

  • beautiful. RIP<3

  • So beautiful :') I challege anyone to watch this without feeling love for the elders.

  • I love his soothing, low voice, I hope I get a voice like this when I age

  • اللهم أحسن خاتمتنا

  • Oh, my... peace be with our elders all, amen.

  • 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.

  • tsssst rest tssst in tsssst peace tsssst

  • @hkdb2004  I cry every time I watch this.

  • @hkdb2004 you couldn't be more right

  • Just *WOW*

  • made me cry

  • you know something is good when you fill better after youve seen it

  • Hey AwesomeCanuck, you're not so awesome now that the Bruins kicked your ass!!!!

    The fact that you burned down your city when your own team lost shows your lack of character, and confirms that nobody here holds your comments as credible! Get a life!

  • you got one lyric way wrong. there were a few minor mistakes i noticed, but the major one is that the lyric is "tears stream, down your face"

    not "history on your face"

  • @raytownloc I figure "history on your face" refers to the fact that they're old as shit, and that it was deliberate.

  • @AwesomeCanuck : GAY? Because it made you cry like a little boy and made you realise you are maybe gay yourself?

  • The only time it's ever really too late to shine in life, is when we believe we can't. This is beautiful light :) ~Peace~

  • If fred isn't able to fix 11 people, than who is?
