  • every couple of months i go and see this clip, and every time I see it in a different point of view. still, it always moves me and returns me to the state of watching life through pink sunglasses and enjoying life in it's beauty, either in our temporarily sadness or joy. i stop comparing and racing myself. all the important stuff in your life come unexpected

  • 4:55 Youtube will get old

  • Comment removed

  • awesome

  • This song just reminds me how we all go through the motions - make the same silly mistakes and worry about the same silly thing. I like the feeling of sameness with the rest of the world's people :)

  • 9gag

    

  • As a man said, fuck the advice, wear the sunscreen.

  • solve algebra equation by chewing bubble gum?

    been there done that :D

  • love the power of life and dreaming....!

  • @nodoherty877 he's 27 now..

  • The best thing about

  • Words of wisdom that will last a life time

  • niceeee

  • god i heard this so long ago...where is it from?

  • Very nice, fav

  • That quote about jealousy has been my favorite quote ever since i heard it 10 years ago 

  • I need to listen to this every day.

  • i saw this when i was 14, im 17 now. i do not regret any of my past actions! not even the erros, for they have help me a lot! I do not want to give up the delicious freedom of being wrong! @MrSweatyPants incredible coment! got me!

  • I´m 17 and all  this advice has common sense for me now, :_(

  • @Xnicito Common sense to you NOW? You're only 17? Whole life ahead of you to live by these principles. It's depressing that you are looking back with regret at only 17. Never too late to change.

  • @nodoherty877

    Idiot.....

  • @Flacksh0t Awrite, calm down, i understand what he/she meant now.

  • wtf this always plays during high school graduation and yeah i ve always been looking for it and i just happen to stumble upon it today wow

  • hihi mein hintern ist geil

  • @RandyManaqr317 twat

  • Makes to thing your live?

  • it said english subtitles.... i dont think its english

  • @BayleighShaw19 you have to put them on w/ CC

  • I find these words to be more applicable to life than any religious doctrine or new age philosophy. It's not claiming to be a ticket to heaven or some sacred wisdom. It's just the common sense one gains from living a reflective life.

  • ehm bin ein luder

  • Ladies and gentle of the class of 2012, wear condoms. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, condoms would be it. The long term benefits have been proven my scientist, whereas the rest of my advise has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

  • @Neonman78 Yet.

    

  • "Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind." No, I've never, ever been ahead.

  • @Neonman78 You're not eating from a dumpster (I don't think as you have access to the Internet) so you are ahead.

  • @ki4jgt I think when he says that, he's referring to when you compare yourself to others around you, but not everyone else in the world (otherwise, everyone would always be behind and ahead at the same time).

  • @Neonman78 just w8 ... i did it 22 years.

  • @Neonman78 then you have something to look forward to.

  • LOVE!:)))

  • I heard this when I was 17. I didnt know any of this.I was a scared council estate teenager, I shaved my head with a razor, quit UK shool, there was no way out. I thought this advice was top notch. I had a ridiculous infatuation with a girl which I thought was 'the one', I still think she was. She had the most amazing green eyes. I will never forget. However , I am 27 now. did an access course, University and work in Hong Kong as a Radiographer. This advice all seems like common sense now. funny

  • @MrSweatyPants Every time I get into the frame of mind of being stuck on the estate all my life, this is the song I want to hear, stories like yours are the ones I want to hear. Thankyou dude

  • @MrSweatyPants amazing how ten years teaches you so much. you sound happy. :D

  • @MrSweatyPants i was the same age, very troubled youth, partying every weekend.... But somehow truth always seems to find u in a way.

  • "7 Minutes? Fuck that i'm not going to watch the whole thing"

    I watched the whole thing.

  • @ivraalia

    Fuck, I watched it twice! and shared ;)

  • @ivraalia 3 times.

  • Cool :) QC

  • I imagine Dad giving this advice.

  • this is one of the best things ever written!

  • female's voice ruins the whole thing

  • it's a boy :|

  • @jpa6791

    I think jpa has the definition of superficial confused with the definition of intellectual. Btw this song is clearly related to obama as it was a graduation speech from 1999 haha

  • every time i hear this song it makes me feel sooooooo good!!!!

  • My knees are gone. I miss them :(

  • nice dose of reality in 7 minutes. I like it.

  • NOW HOW THE FUCK DID PEOPLE MANAGE TO DISLIKE THIS?

    Fucking amazing.

  • Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good. - 4:04

  • La vita e` meravigliosa!

  • i was a person who finished school in 1999 and this song was a song that i never forgot i am 28 now and still love this tune it touches your soul

  • fuck u.

  • @mae093 Watch out, everybody. We're dealing with a BADASS over here.

  • why the fuck does it say english subtitles and then it spanish? does anyone have this original but with ENGLISH not spanish text

  • Comment removed

  • @javisst777 *portuguêse

  • @javisst777

    it is portuguese, asshole

  • This has to be one of my favourite songs ever. I realise people don't like it and think it may be superficial... but think on this. Take as much from it as you want (or don't want). The advice comes from one person's own meandering experience, which in and of itself is a way of fishing the past from a rubbish bin and dusting it off for the benefit of others. Life is what you make it, so seize your moment and make it a life worth living!

  • my all time fave, love it <3

  • this is "deep thoughts" for superficial people.

  • @jpa6791 maybe you have a valid point I think...but you may have found a less critical way of expressing your thoughts...I mean who the fuck are you to pass your lameass judgements onto others...if a piece of music moves a person to reflect on their life then "let it be"...hahahahahaha

  • i will write these lyrics down and keep them in my wallet.

    sounds stupid but i'll try to let them guide me true my life.

  • absolutely gorgeous.. favorited. 

  • When he says Floss, the translation says "Relaxe" loll

  • be careful with other peoples hearts

  • I can't believe how can anyone dislike this video..do you not see the message that it transmit to us?

  • @ayoubwehbi

    i dislike it because superficial people have to be told to think like this. the video is dumb.

    most people watching this think it is so super profound and it eases their minds because this makes it look like it's easy to just be good and do good things. it's a video for the obama change is all we need superficial positivity generation. and the white dude wearing the afro wig and pink suit is not cool. i mean what the fuck? live in new york city once?!?

  • who can afford to live in new york city except for hipster closet yuppies posing as artists and wall street

    tycoons? the background music makes me nauseous. like i said this is a video for superficial minds wanting to feel good about themselves their guilty past and even more guilt laden future. show black people and white people with smiling faces. it's a farce.

  • @jpa6791

    For somebody so well written and assumably spoken, you really don't say much to prove your point. I say let the 6,936,918 views speak for themselves. It's sad that you couldn't at least see what it was about this video that people love. OH WELL YOUR LOSS!!!

  • @jpa6791 u seem really bitter. sad

  • @jpa6791 When are you making your own version of this?

  • My dad showed me this video about 4 years ago. I watched it untill today and everytime I get impressed and shivers... AMAZING !!!

  • "don't have kids"

  • Comment removed

  • ive watched this video 12 times today 

  • 'But trust me on the sunscreen'...amazing...start on the subject of sunscreen and end on it aswell. wonder full frame ending....This is without a doubt one of the best songs of all time, it is a shame that not man people know of it( i know it may have a lot of views on utube but come on..ask ur m8s/ family if they have heard of this song....This song has shaped who i am as a person and given me a view on life that is remarkable....i shall remember this song for ever and i will show this to all.

  • this is a factor of the world's happiness!

  • Absolutely amazing. I'm going to watch this everyday.

  • amazing video shown to me by a close friend of mine at 2AM!! Watched it a number of times since, fantastic, sad, happy, emotional, amazing!! Thanks so much for posting it! :)

  • i like to listen to this while on the toilet, it helps me to relieve myself and to feel good about it at the same time...

  • Tune and some meaningful views all in one .......; -)

  • this video is amazing... i watch this almost everyday to keep me down to earth, and i must say it works. i have changed in many ways, see things in a diferent way too.

    this is the IT video

  • My senior year English teacher, whom I had a huge crush on, played this song for my class a couple of weeks before we graduated. Now I'm less than 2 months away from graduating from college and I'm listening to it again, and boy is it making me emotional.

  • @Cinemaparadiso1989

    like totally.

  • this is still by far the most inspirational thing ive heard in my life. im 16 years old, listen to this at least once a month and this speech has improved my life in so many ways, thank you

  • How can you dislike this video.This man speaks pure wisdom of advice. You cant get any better advice then right here of life. Some people are just sad induvidulas....

  • @gots2luvmusic

    some people are made of plastic.

  • Everything in this video is the opposite in this world we live in now :/

  • @Mindbreaker89x

    preach.

  • I can't believe i heard this song on the radio this week.

  • 1:47-1:53.

  • I love this... I listened to this song so many times as a teenager and thought it was amazing. I took it to heart. But here I am, thirty two years old, and so much has happened since then. It is just impossible to grasp things fully unless you have experienced them.

  • You will always take things for granted. You will never be able to ask your parents enough questions or get to know them as well as you want to. But you don't realize these things until something you took for granted gets taken away, until your parents are gone and cannot answer any more questions. Life is life. This is a beautiful 'song.' I love these words.

  • All you can do is try your best to have no regrets... but you will :-)

  • true

  • My dad played this song in the car when i was very young while we were on the way to school. I actually remembered the advices in the song. I think it sorta made me more matured.
