Ash of the Phoenix

[1point609344km]

This is the only YouTube video that has been able to make my cry. Thanks Cory

[rosyforever]

I'm so sorry Cory, that's so sad. I don't even know what to say. Beautiful video. It's a lovely memory you have of him though.

[KatieLynnC92]

I cried.

[DUNDUA2]

Videos of classic SMP videos like this has really helped me rediscover myself and inspire me. You are one of my heroes and because of that, I thank you. Let SMP live on forever and inspire hope to everyone.

[TubaHero17]

Watching this four years after you made this and holy crap... made me cry. Reminds me of my teacher that passed away towards the end of my sophomore year of high school. He was a second dad to me and is one of my fallen phoenixes. You're awesome, Cory.

[xxxm0ris]

i have probably watched this video 1000 times over and over and it brings tears to my eyes everytime.

it reminds me to treasure the people who love me and give them love back for as long as i can, and not to forget the ones who i've lost over the past time.

this is absolutely my favorite video on youtube.

thank you so much for making this cory, you're absolutely amazing.

[mitzey234]

Cory I would have to say that this video has touched over 100 000 people including me across the world thanks to what you had made!

I will and always will remember all the stuff I had done with my friends in the old times....

Let us keep them hidden deep in our mind and think of what they might have given us or what you had given them.

Sorry for your losses.....

Try to remember them and the fun you shared with them....

;)

[kiefersbird3]

cory, watching this made me bawl my eyes out. I know your pain, i lost my best friend in an accident in 1999, he was four months away from his 21st birthday. That year i was to get married and not seeing him there sharing my special day broke my heart. Almost 13 years later, he's still in my thoughts and more importantly, i have some fantastic memories of our childhood and later years. Think of the good times you and your friend had and treasure them forever. xx

[legendary90951]

[xxxm0ris]

i lost a very close friend about 3 weeks back.

this video explains exactly how i felt over the past couple of days.

it really touched me and i cried while watching this.

this was a beautiful film cory, this is definitely going in my favorites.

[TheZombieFred]

@smpfilms I lost my dad when I was 1 or 2, he's still alive but we don't see each other much. Sometimes 2 every 2 years, sometimes none.

[mitzey234]

And my dog was a great dog. I always took care of him, and he always took care of me when I was 4-9 years old. At the spot of where we buried him was the place I would love to visit everyday! I miss him... ;(

[mitzey234]

I really almost Cried while watching this! :(

I like this video ;D

[MASTER1LINK]

oh... my... god...

i was so moved by this. You wanted to know about my phoenixes?

they are my family... they keep me going, even through the hardest of times

and my dead brother and my dead grandfather..

i didnt know my dead brother, and i am kinda sad about it... i've seen pictures about him and how he hold me in his lap... i wish he watches over me and protects me..

and my granddad, he died coupule of years ago, so i miss him still... and he was an awesome guy, and i know he watches over me

[TalamarAmV]

this is best vid you have ever done!

[WhitePhoeniix]

This is beautiful. It made me cry. Especially since my Great Grandmother is dying :/

[Str8Ripper22]

@WhitePhoeniix my great grandmother has died a couple weeks ago and i regret not going to see her in the hospital and going to the funeral. I visit her her every week now:/

[THATGuyTHEMGuys]

This video has had me crying for twenty minutes, my Grandad passed away in September, in his coffin I left a note talking about him rising like a Phoenix from the ashes. I know how it feels to grieve a fallen Phoenix.

[cindyreddeer]

This is the one, this is my favourite.

[icookfood1]

212 people r douches

[ZapFlap]

I will soon get a tattoo of a Phoenix on my back/neck.. I will mabye use the phoenix used here, not sure yet. But the phoenix is a beautiful bird and what it stands for is just.. wonderful. I cant wait to get my tattoo.. !

[magemaniac33]

Most inspiring video since the day it came out on Youtube, I love you Corey! I rarely watch your vids now days :'( ; number # favorite youtuber on here PERIOD. This video was an inspiration for me...I am SMP :) R.I.P. to your brother and for every one else... :'(

[Sonicgirl582]

Took me a little while to find it but the actual name of the song from the website given is `Apron Strings End Credits`. This video was extremely touching and made me cry, bless all those precious ones lost to us :)

[webkinz603]

My phoenix is my grandpa... still miss him

[qnichkabe]

my phoenix is my 1st pet

a cat named Selvey

i loved that kitty even though it tore to shreds some clothes , but now that he's gone i miss him...

[Reako1989]

Like phoenixes, people can live forever, through whose hearts they've touched and what they have done for all the people who grow to love them. Like the phoenix we eventually burn out, but from our ashes we rise anew and live forever through the work we have done and from the hearts of those close to us and thus we are remembered for eternity.

Never forget anyone, and keep doing what you do, Cory, you have already touch so many hearts with everything you have done.

[TheLOGMAN02]

I used to complain about not having new shoes, but then I found out that people cry themselves to sleep without legs.

[moonrose96]

This is beautiful Cory.

Thank you for making video's that make us not only laugh, but make us slow down and realize that we need to cry to, and not sad tears, but tears of remembrance, tears of happiness for those we've lost.

I've never lost anyone close to me, but when I watched this video it made me think of my cousin who died in a car accident and whom I never knew, but I'm told she was very much like myself.

Thank you for posting this video!

[TheOnlyFairee]

This is the most I've ever cried watching a video, and it takes a lot for a video to make me cry.

[dracorules2]

wow never felt so emotional over a video before. Just keep doing what you do best Cory, and that's entertaining and making people happy just as SmpFilms always has :)

[matoro85]

I wish i could like multiple times or if there were a ''Liked so much that you teared up and want to go beat up people who dislike this" button

[oceanlilly69]

all i can say right now is

i am so very sorry cory so so very sorry just know me and 9,435 people are here for you cory and we all love you <3

[ZapFlap]

This video is beautiful, both the music, the way its maked and the story. ''In memory of our fallen phoenixes'' Indeed. Good luck Cory, and the SMPfilms!

[tootsiepop825]

Me: bye mom! im going out!

Mom: what are you going to do?

Me: im gonna go beat up 210 people.

Mom: goodness! are you going alone!?!?

[beep099]

RIP

Who was that in relation to cory ? Was it his brother ?

[PrimrosePanther]

@beep099 one of his good friends. along with the people listed at the end of the video, they started smpfilms. but cory's the only one left, so he's kinda continuing it for them...

(not exactly adequate, but it *is* 1:20 AM right now, so... :S)

[LegoBen]

This is probably the most genuine/emotional video on YouTube. I have the most sincere respect for Cory and while I may be a few years late posting it, R.I.P. And I am sorry for your loss Cory, I truly am.

[kilovo]

damn how is that picture done

[damiencale]

How dare you make me feel emotions? lol

[RealmsForgotten]

This was the first time a tear has came to my eye in a long time. I know how it feels to lose someone that you were close to, it hurts.

[BioformerCorviz]

so what does smp stand for?

[infernape1789]

@BioformerCorviz Simple Minded People

[BioformerCorviz]

@infernape1789 oh

[AllMenOnEarth]

im laughing from the dancing but crying from the meaning of the empty seat. :'-)

[Yellie876]

This will always be my favorite video of his. I know this channel has turned into skits about him being random and stupid, but videos like these are why I subbed.

[Alex36108]

Cory how many friends did you lost? im going to cry

[rDarkWarrior]

@Alex36108 *did you lose?

*Have you lost....either one works

[cs231951]

[XxWindpawxX]

[newharbour9]

[Daymian20]

[TubaChick54321]

this video means the world to me. my mother past away when i was just eleven. this video i think goes out to all the people who lost loved ones. i am thirteen and i am still hurting. so this is a geat video. Thanks Cory

[AbnormalLauraShow]

This made me cry so much, you're an inspiration to alot of people, and honestly what you have on your arm, shows your love towards your loved ones, and your creativity.

[sampsonofrock]

About half a year ago, a friend of mine died, he was 13, i hadn't really tried to accept it, i just kept it out of my mind, but this helped me. Thank you so much.

We miss you Joe.

Thanks again Cory

[Cathycat2552]

awww

[mimido92630]

I cryed everytime I'm srry dude

[shelbyberinger]

this is gonna sound weird but...when i cry,my right eye never leaks a tear,but my left eye does...you made my right eye cry...

[FernCloud123]

This video makes me cry all the time. I mean.. it makes my heart hurt every time I see him stare at the empty seat wishing he was there. And in the end it shows his grave, maybe, just maybe, his spirit is sitting there smiling that he visited him..

I do that with my deceased grandma, every time I wish she was there I know she's better off where she is now.

<3 Seen this video two years ago, and I still love it.

[PivotGirl1508]

there are 209 JERKS still living in this world

[theweirdo007]

I pray for your friend Cory. May he rest in peace. <3

[KadajYunaJenova]

I...wow...that is really touching. I've been following SMPfilms for a while but was never really a diehard fan. I was just browsing and found this. I was captivated from the beginning, but as soon as I saw it was a grave, I just burst into tears.

It truly touched me and I thank you for it.
