@Akira625Oh HELL yeah! DVD and CD. You KNOW you gotta have both so you can watch at home and listen in the car, the perfect cure for road rage!!

Who the hell could possibly dislike this?! Lovely, lovely song.

I love watching my little six year old growing up. She never fails to remind me of this song. So beautiful yet so fragile. Thanks so much for posting it :)

@BonzoGal1980 : For real. I'd drop a bill for that joint in a hot minute.

Such a great reminder to appreciate the little things around us all, every day. Joe Raposo was an absolute genius and Sesame Street hasn't been the same since his passing. I remember the tribute they aired in his honor, but unfortunately, we put it on VHS and it's long gone now. I really hope that Sesame Workshop considers releasing this on DVD. It doesn't contain all his best work, but a great sampling.

The bit about flowers dying always made me cry as a kid.

i think part of the reason why these classic ss videos bring tears for us is not only the profound nostalgia, but also the feeling that this is only a remnant of an era past that we are not likely to experience on tv anymore. thank youtube and jonnytbirdzback!

@genea80 - This always makes me feel peaceful, and sometimes tear up too. What a great song with wonderful visuals of the world around us. I always loved to look outside or go walking and think of this song as a child. They dont even show this on SS anymore. I recently saw a terrible version of this song with computer generated dancing ribbons and someone singing to synthesized music. They have ditched the old SS and it has lost its touch of reality with children. This song is beautiful.
Sesame Street needs to dig into it's archives and make a Joe Raposo CD, or even better, a DVD.
It's LONG overdue.

This song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. Joe Raposo was a classic songwriter for children's television. This song points out the fact that little things are far from insignificant. Far from unimportant. Far from not special. Little things are everything, beginning with children and their feelings. I love this song.
