Beautiful!! i was stressed from school but i feel better now.

[flipflops2248]

Who is this song by and what is the title of it? This video was so moving, i loved it.

[fashionwhorexo]

i loved that. i think the song is beautiful and so is the message.

have you heard the music they play on conspiracy theory videos? disgust me.

it'll grab the fear right the fuck out of someone.

[gollum683]

That was about as thought envoking as the horse manure that I shoveled this morning. Which is to say "Been there Done that," there is only ten or twelve thousand videos like this out there.

You might want to actually get ORIGINAL with your original thinking sometime. Your idea of "Spirited free thinking" is identical to everyother 17-25 year old cretin that thinks they have an original through in their body. Heres a little hint your more of a sheep than anyone else. :)

[xNefarious]

Well, maybe it's a good thing that this sort of video has been done quite a bit. It means people are coming to the realization that what you are if because of what you allow yourself to be. In my opinion, the more positive things there are, the less negative things there will be.

However, there are some people--like you commenting on this video--who simply can not just enjoy the video for what it is and must leave negativity behind them.

Have a nice day everyone.

:)

[somechick73]

Yeah, music makes you feel more.

[KnowHimMinistries]

Great editing

[CapeandCowl]

"we are who we make ourselves to be."

Brilliant.

[leftysergeant]

Brilliant editing. You pose such a challenging question for the viewer to ask and perhaps answer.

This is what makes an artist an artist, this challenging and examination of one's own perceptions of self.

[sweetdaddycoconut]

Amazing video.

What program you use to edit?

[thinkmorepink]

Sony Vegas 8.0 : )

And thank you so much.

[sweetdaddycoconut]

(: .

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

This is such a 'rich' video...in just 2.5 mins - you have created a tapestry of images and notions that unsettle and prompt self examination....5 stars!! Sunbeam :)

[thinkmorepink]

wow, that was such a wonderful comment. Thank you so much.

[xxxSunbeamxxx]

You're very welcome! :)

[CptnGoth]

Good point. Awesome video.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Pink: You are soooooooo talented! What an honor it is for me to have you re-post these here... 5 flipping stars - love ya!

[TheraminTrees]

Exquisite work. Like so many of my favourite videos, gives one so much to speculate on.

[thinkmorepink]

Thank you SO much. *hugs* It is one of my favorite videos.

[cecilyhayes1]

Neon sent this video to me, somehow I must have missed it before. It's amazing, seriously.

[thinkmorepink]

wow thank you.

[PineappleJoe]

The moment when you first wake up in the morning is the most wonderful of the twenty-four hours. No matter how weary or dreary you may feel, you possess the certainty that, during the day that lies before you, absolutely anything may happen. And the fact that it practically always doesn't, matters not a jot. The possibility is always there.

Epic music shan, mish yew!

X

[bfgholycrap]

Very nice video, Shan. Your editing is getting really great.

[thinkmorepink]

Thanks so much Dan!

[Loreleila]

We're only as bound as we choose to be.

Beautiful video again Shan.Keep flowering :)

[thinkmorepink]

Loreleila, I love seeing your comments show up on my page

[Mike1977a1]

Regarding influence,Do you think that people on youtube in social networks are fully in control of these networks, is it possible that a 3rd party could be channelling subscribers to you?

Do the people using these networks have the control or does some other power?

If this is true then this other power will be able to control the meaning of the whole group but not the particular meaning of each video.

you have become a central node! how can the users find out if they are controlled?

[RedShiftScience]

Shan, I am a little perplexed as to why you would think that anybody would be angry that you used music to evoke emotion. Essentially all of Music has its foundations in the manipulation of emotion and feeling. In fact the use of music in cinematography is a very common practice.

[thinkmorepink]

I said 'does it bother you.' Taylor, it was a form of manipulation, and I was making my audience aware of that.

[RedShiftScience]

But all of cinema and all of music is a form of manipulation. It's entire existence is from a desire to influence anothers perceptions and/or emotions. It just seems like such an unnecessary point to your video. Akin to pointing out that jogging is a form of exercise.

[thinkmorepink]

Thanks for watching taylor. While I may not see eye to eye with you, I do respect your opinion.

[RedShiftScience]

Thanks Shan, that means a lot to me. I appreciate your opinion. Just as an aside, I think it is probably a bad policy to be deleting comments from your videos when they disagree with you. It is what I associate with people like VenomFangX and I would hate to see you getting in that habit. Though, I can't make you see what you're doing to yourself. Looking forward to your next video.

[thinkmorepink]

I'm not sure if I follow, but oh well.

[RedShiftScience]

I've noticed a few comments and even a video response that were deleted from your videos rather quickly, which disagreed with what you were saying. I just think that if you have issues with oppresion and censorship, as it seems you do according to your first video, then you shouldn't be censoring others views. I might be the only who is noticing, so I might be making a bigger deal out of this than it really is, but I read the comments and can't help but notice when responses suddenly go missing.

[thinkmorepink]

I did delete one video response, because I don't like trolling on my page. Other than that, It's a matter of advertisements, ridiculous insults that have no relevance to the video, and that's about it. Other than that, I dunno, youtube glitches? I've rarely had to delete a comment taylor : )

[RedShiftScience]

One of the video responses that was deleted was by somebody named bostaurus. I watched the video before it was deleted and it seemed relevant to the topic of your video. Granted it was done so in an abrasive way but I still think it was pertinent. In any case it is your channel and you can certainly do as you wish with it. I don't intend to tell you what you can and can't do, but as I said before I can't make you see what you are doing to yourself.

[thinkmorepink]

Thanks again taylor :)

I appreciate your continued support in helping me better myself, especially when it comes to my videos! I'm glad I can count on you, friend : )

[FrogSplatScience]

I also noted that words 15-18 included rectangle, cricle, triangle, and square. Rhombus and heptagon are considerably distraught that they did not make the list and are filing complaints with the Equal Opportunities Office for Geometric Shapes (EOOGS) 1986. Expect a call from our attorney general within the next 10-15 days conscerning an investigation of your person.

[FrogSplatScience]

Is it safe to say we are what we allow ourselves to be? In the words of Ruth Benedict "No man sees the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking." Only 8 of the 62 things listed in this video were in fact, tangible. This comes out to 13% (12.9%). Saying "I am a product of all that is tangible" simply means you are one of many physical constituents that composes the universe. Did you mean:That which I am made of is tangible?

[thinkmorepink]

Thanks so much for watching! : )

[MikeSarno]

Awesome! Very powerful message!

[thinkmorepink]

Thank you so much Mike!!! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I was having trouble thinking of a new video idea, and this one just happened to hit me. :)

[Boucrate]

Hey that is marvelous!..But is being under the influence count's also? lol! No joke very well done job!

[thinkmorepink]

Wow, thanks so much boucrate love!

[thequestionmarkofGod]

Ok, Shan Dear, Is Mrs. Blake oppressed? How can you be sure?

[thinkmorepink]

no idea :)

[thinkmorepink]

her clip was used to represent a point in time.

[thequestionmarkofGod]

Thats my answer too. Paired with the word "oppression" people will connect her response to it, to the imposed silencing of women when reality is, it may well be a chosen form of liberty and release.

That is the essential message of my current work. (sadly temporarily on hold : ( )

[scoutie111]

Shannie - Wonderful, amazing, enlightening. You continue to astound and in a wonderful way.

[thinkmorepink]

wow thanks mom : )

[zlosiej]

really great job. I'm impressed

[thinkmorepink]

[patflix]

Fantastic.....on many levels. 

Yowzaa!!!!

[rowsdowersavesus]

Your videos are works of art

[thinkmorepink]

wow, thank you so much

[msginca]

Glad you mentioned it Ben ... I have to agree

[grenangle]

Sublime

[thinkmorepink]

Thanks grenlove

[bubonicnate]

beautiful stuff!

[thinkmorepink]

Thank you nate :)

[TrueNorth15]

nicely done, I did watch without sound and there was quite a difference, amazing Shan

[thinkmorepink]

Wow, thanks nathan!

[msginca]

Utterly fantastic.

[thinkmorepink]

<33 thanks again

[lirpa69]

Shan, this was amazing! You've got mad skillz in the video editing department. Thanks for making me feel. And no, it doesn't bother me. Should it? =D

[thinkmorepink]

Wow, thank you so much!! I might look into it as a profession? ..Maybe..

[lirpa69]

That sounds exciting!! I wish I had more time to tinker with stuff like that. I've got Adobe Premier Elements but it's not a simplistic as WMM so I rarely use it. Also, I just don't much time to edit these days. =( My life is crazy right now.

[mistawulf]

"Listen to how you feel", beautiful since a primary motivation in my faith journey lately has been my intuition.

[musicisthegateway]

I don't like being used.

[thinkmorepink]

*uses music again*

<333

[musicisthegateway]

I feel so used

[bickleschmickle]

LOL

Awesome vid.

[Elaina43]

Thank you for this - it came at a good time.

[thinkmorepink]

Thanks for watching Elaina, : )

[thequestionmarkofGod]

No Shan, it doesn't bother me. Silent I felt sad, lonely, with music I felt relaxed at peace despite it all.

I love this video, On silent it speaks to me of the "agony of the enlightened" that I have spoken of after separating myself from all those things which shape us and simply watching us, what we do as creatures, from a distant silent place.

[thinkmorepink]

thanks again, sara, it really means a lot <3

[thequestionmarkofGod]

You spoke for my heart in the moments when I have no words.

It is I who thanks YOU.

[thequestionmarkofGod]

LOL Shan, I just watched it on mute by accident, I muted YT earlier. Now I must up my sound and replay.

[thinkmorepink]

LOL!!!

[randyhelzerman]

talk about an insta-fav...... this is like azrienochs "words" vid but with an O'Henry ending....

[thinkmorepink]

Don't even categorize me with Az. I'm so not worthy. <3

[Elaina43]

You ARE worthy, Shan. (Period - no exclamation point necessary - the statement is fact.)

[thinkmorepink]

wow, you guys are so great. Thanks again. wow.

[julesandmax]

I agree with Elaina!

[achampag]

you just get better and better

=)

[thinkmorepink]

Wow, thanks so much

[CliffBetweenTheLines]

Just about perfect :) All the stars!

[thinkmorepink]

Wow, thank you so much

[TheKidFrom13thStreet]

Simply wonderful.

[thinkmorepink]
