I dont know if anybody is going to read this, but i need to get this out. i just got done watching this short, and it actually made me cry, thinking about what the song is really trying to say. ive been through a very rough time this year, and i felt like i had so many problems that were insurmountable. But after seeing this, i realize that in the grand scheme of things, my situation isnt all that terrible, when taken in context with the rest of life. This video made me feel much better. Thanks

This has a lot of wisdom if you go beyond the exact words. Depending on how you choose to look at something, it looks a particular way. If you look at it differently, the thing (whether physical, an event or idea) you're looking at also looks different.

According to Wikipedia, the actual song title is "Infinity" with "(That's About the Size) as the subtitle.

The singer has a very comforting voice.

This one really stuck with me from my childhood along with the "Daddy D" and the two dolls house songs.

Thanks for posting this. I still remember all the words to this gem and I am 38 years old. funny how we remember so many things from our childhood!!
This is one of the few bits of "classic' Sesame Street which has stayed with me throughout the years. Even at a young age, I got something important out of it. Even though the song is about physical perspective, I also saw the lyrics as a lesson in mental perspective as well. That is, step back from your problems and realize they might not be so big after all.
Thanks for posting this. A real trip down memory lane.
