  • this needs to be the original video to this song.

  • This song has the lyrics that make the most sense. Every couple of years I listen to this song, and it rings truer and truer as the years pass by.

  • This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on youtube. Very well put together....Thank you!

  • This video is so depressing, it assume everyone requires the same advice and everyone has the same fate.

    And it's probably true.

  • No one will ever see this comment but I'm going to say it anyway... This video is an inspiration to me, the narrator is an inspiration to me but most of all You are an inspiration to me. Just seeing the reality of his words acted out in this video is ... mind blowing...

  • @ralex888 Just wanted to let you know - somebody saw it.

  • Beautiful man!

    

  • This is the best video I've ever seen. And then I really mean, like ever, ever seen.

    I've been depressed, but this song helped me to stand up, to climb out of the dark cave.

    And your smile inspired me to smile, once a day atleast, and I try to smile even more, as much as I can.

    Thank you, thank you very much, If this video gets removed by some reason, I will remember it always.

    You've done me a life service!

  • I watch this video every morning when i wake up,

  • Thank you!

  • loved every min of that could watch it over an over nice on indeed we are all free

  • Amazing

  • Hey Im 17 and a senior in high school about to finally get my life started. I dont have to many resources so Im wondering how it is that you are able to do all these activities that you have shown in this video. It looks like you are living an exciting life but it also looks like it takes a lot of money. Id like to know how to be able to do all these things. I dont want my life to go to waste.

  • @michaelsvidjunk work hard and things will fall into place. Most people just get by on what is handed to them, and don't try or have the ambition. Great things come very easily to those who actually try. Keep learning, and don't ever settle for mediocre, and you too can do everything he did.

  • My mom told me to lower the volume of this great video. Instead, I blasted it to teach her how to live life happily.

  • Whenever I feel down, I view this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Thank you for this video, thank you!

  • Love the video but it makes me wonder: Are there some people who can actually realize this wisdom when they're young enough to take full advantage of it? Are there actually people who have lived by this and "have it all"? To aspire to live life completely is one thing, but to that is only one part of the story. To see the whole story we must also look at our struggles and failures to see how we gained the strength to overcome them.

  • Real great stuff man. Keep it up!

  • fucking depressing really

  • Hopewell Rocks at 4:25 can't believe I live like 10 minutes away from that place.

  • Credit to Mary Schmich for this article, which was written for the class of 1997.

  • Loved this....very well done!

  • In a world where so many seek fame and fortune without foundation, it's great to see someone with genuine talent working hard at something they're passionate about. If there's any justice in this world then I'm sure you will go a long way. If there is none then I hope you continue to have fun trying. You have achieved and experienced more in the making of this film than most people will in in their entire lives.

  • @MrsFreshGiraffe Not the part in Machu Pichu ;) Other than that, it's mainly Montana, California, and Nevada I think.

  • Thank you, this is a beautiful film - love it! (",)

  • Great video dude!!!

  • This is amazing. You're very creative! It must have taken so long, and so many miles, to gather all of those clips...and it was very worth it!! I wish you further success :)

  • This speach is the realest thing you can come by in life lessons I am one of those people that jump into something head first not looking at he things that can happen or even listening to the advice that was givving to me i took everything that ws told to me and let it go in one ear right out the other , im only 24 but have been so many hard ships but i have gotten through them and looked at the mand learned what not to do next time this song has helped me get through some of those hard ships...

  • hey fellow sunscreaners...... i've watched this video many times because he's captured the essence of the song... I never checked out his site... trust me...you should check out it out,, its epic.. he's go so much soul... and got some FUNKY moves.. i'm actually jealous and yet thrilled because my journey is just starting.... anyway i just wanted to show him some support by telling you this.... hope all of you are getting there, wherever your there is :)

  • beautiful video

  • Whoever posted this is a genius.........

  • Something tells me this guy has a trust fund....

  • @Snobert Look into his blog, RisingBean. He doesn't. And he walked away from an engineering job to follow his dreams. And he had a son when he was a teen and has stayed in the kid's life- that's his son in the video. Don't hate on others just so you can find an excuse for why you aren't pursuing your goals. Instead, look to these people as an example. You can do it too.

  • LOL, It looks like you put your hands in your pants at 3:09 after reading that magazine.

  • Thanks for posting this... I had a horrible year, something positive died in me after a certain defeat in my life, I became toxic and many important relationships ended... my business hit the wall... BUT this video reminds me of the good times I've had...

    and you know what... it's never too late to get it all back!

    to top it off.. I'm only 23! THANK YOU. I FINALLY SNAPPED OUT OF THIS MENTAL PRISON! Time to make some phone calls and some moves!

  • @cow777 Nothing reli matters in life. When you die you die alone and when you were born you were born alone. Live life......We get it once......I feel you

  • @cow777 Hope things worked out for you....:)

  • @cow777 have courage. Everyone in this world is in the same boat to a certain degree. Embrace your failures and successes. You will be fine!

  • Awesome

  • wow

  • Awesome rendition of this Song! Best I've seen yet!

  • I checked the record and it appears this graduation speech was written by Mary Shmich - just as great and that's a high compliment. Great videography too.

  • Thanks for reminding me why Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite author. You are now my favorite videographer. Nice. I'd favorite this vid if I could only find the button.

  • Beautiful!

  • This song is actually helping me with my depressed life ♥♥ (:

  • @BaileeTy so why so sad?

  • @davidrubiomartin

    complicated life

  • @BaileeTy Actually I would imagine "life" would be a most straight forward and uncomplicated condition. You live and then you don't and theres absolutely nothing you can do about it. Distraction and reaction is all you have, its all anybody has.

  • I thought this song was awesome before I saw this video - what a cool dude lol

  • Sickkkk video man!

    

  • you have such a life
