I really like here fight song ,it encourage me to go on and fight for that dream i want to come true 🤗 thumbs up for this song of her also I feel better and comfort🥰🥰💖
There are plenty of talented artists in the world. But what truly sets Rachel apart from the crowd is that she truly has a heart for people and a level of compassion that none could match. This world is truly a better place she Rachel came along. Her music is about finding the good and reaching out to help our fellow man and woman. Thank you, Rachel.
To my Sam. I know you are in heaven. I only got to have you for a month. Just long enough to see who you are and help you until it was time for you to leave me. My honor, my privilege to be there with you. You made me stronger. You made my life better. Your light still shines through me. Thank you for everything you taught me about me and the world. I live moving forward because I know I will see you again. RIP my angel. You were wanted, and you are forever loved.
I am so very sorry Samuel was only around for 1 month. Please know that Your angel knows this! We are all alright, Love is still the Answer! Kindness is the boat will carry you to shore! Kindboat804 Fire Before us You're the brightest the light house of GOD through the STORM. May you have PEACE! -Benjamin Falkenrath w/ Love
Exact same thing happened to me. She is not just an amazing singer-songwriter but a beautiful person from inside. Not only was this song touching but the fine details of this video (you know what I'm talking about) made me melt.
Aldo me Emily it happens to me when I remember moments of me and my mum being together before she went to the U.S.A . we used to be together my dad died when i was a little child my mum did not tell me but i figured it our by my self. When hear this song it reminds me being together with my mum and dad going to the park together enjoying ourselves as a family .
Rachel is a gem, in the world, we now find ourselves in - we need music that empowers the hope, resiliency and perseverance in all of us that we all so desperately need. Emotions like love, friendship and emotional strength are all what we need. Thank you for giving that to us, Rachel. Your music has helped me in so many ways.
LittleDevil0007 true her lyrics are not meaningless they make sense! Sia or Shakira....most if Their songs r meaningless but hey I really love their songs! Sia's titanium and Shakira's try everything(which actually has a lot of meaning)
I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song It's a better place since you came along Since you came along Your touch is sunlight through the trees Your kisses are the ocean breeze Everything's alright when you're with me And I hold my favorite thing I hold the love that you bring But it feels like I've opened my eyes again And the colors are golden and bright again There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong It's a better place since you came along It's a better place since you came along I see the whole world in your eyes It's like I've known you all my life We just feel so right So I pour my heart into your hands It's like you really understand You love the way I am And I hold my favorite thing I hold the happiness you bring But it feels like I've opened my eyes again And the colors are golden and bright again And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings our song It's a better place since you came along It's a better place since you came along Now I'm alright Now I'm alright Everything's alright 'Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again And the colors are golden and bright again There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong It's a better place since you came along It's a better place since you came along
I have a grandson a little over a year old. For a variety of reasons his parents don't get along and I fear his life will be hard Don't get to see him much, and a worry. I'm a crusty, grumpy old sailor. This is his song in my mind, and I cry like a little girl when I hear it.
+ADG TEH GAMER Hd TNO EDCP AUTTP AVGCP you mean the song has sexual attraction to songs of the same style? Otherwise your comment doesn't make sense mate 😒
***** oh I paid attention to the video alright! What's wrong with two guys having feelings for each other? There were 2 girls as well. I didn't see you calling that gay :P
So what? Unless it has a direct, negative impact on YOUR life, it's completely irrelevant how other people live their lives. I therefore ask you, Does this song impact YOUR life in a negative way?
This video has 27 million views and I think half of those are me listening on repeat, I just never get tired of it. This will be our wedding song, just hoping it doesn't make me cry!
Everyone has someone... Don't forget a lover/Significant other isn't the only form of connections necessary to actually live. With that being said, if you actually have NO ONE, then go out and find someone else who has no one and you two can be each others someone. It doesn't mean you have to find a significant other. Just someone looking for a connection. You may be surprised who needs you just as much as you desire them.
I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song It's a better place since you came along Since you came along Your touch is sunlight through the trees Your kisses are the ocean breeze Everything's alright when you're with me And ah ah ah ah ah, you're my favorite thing Ah ah ah ah ah, all the love that you bring But it feels like I've opened my eyes again And the colors are golden and bright again There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong It's a better place since you came along It's a better place since you came along I see the whole world in your eyes It's like I've known you all my life We just feel so right So I pour my heart into your hands It's like you really understand You love the way I am And ah ah ah ah ah, you're my favorite thing Ah ah ah ah ah, all the happiness you bring But it feels like I've opened my eyes again And the colors are golden and bright again And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings her song It's a better place since you came along It's a better place since you came along Ah ah ah ah ah Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ah ah ah ah ah Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Now I'm alright, now I'm alright Everything's alright Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again And the colors are golden and bright again There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong It's a better place since you came along It's a better place since you came along
Rachel Platten, I get so emotional whenever I watch this video. All you have to do is sing with your angelic voice, and my emotional walls just crumble. Add on the fact that you had people listen to this at a studio, no matter if they were gay, interracial, mother/son, mother/daughter, or owner and dog, you made this entire thing just... absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making this wonderful song and video. 😭😁
Same for me, I have to get a box of tissues every time I play it. It's so moving and beautiful that I'd like it to be played at my funeral. It's a nice reminder that most everyone who stands by you until the end likely made the world a better place for you, just as you did for others, regardless of race, gender, religion, etc..
I want to look into the eyes of my wife as we have our first dance together while this song is playing. This song has such a deeeeeep meaning to me and harkins back to memories of a very dear friend of mine who was taken from this world way too soon a year before this video was posted... I would give anything to be able to see her again, to hear her call me Toddster just one more time... She was one of my most favorite people in the whole world... I want to look down into my future wife's eyes, our foreheads pressing together, seeing her smile up at me as we slowly sway to and fro to this wonderful tear-jerker of a song and I know I'm going to cry because I know I will have found my Better Place 😭❤
revisited this song...again....what wonders lie in music...and Mrs.Platten of course.. thank you my lady for bringing us this piece of hope...and happiness
This gives me faith in humanity. Whatever we do, whatever happens, there are people like them to make us smile. And whatever happens we will carry on with love in our hearts and smiles on our face.
This song means the absolute world to me. At the age of 27, I lost all of my eyesight from diabetic retinopathy he, becoming totally blind. Feeling like my entire world is over and I didn't know what to do, then my guide dog, Bryce joined me by my side. This is the song I play every day for him and I. Having Bryce by my side "makes me feel like I've opened my eyes again, the colors are golden and bright again," it is a better place because of Bryce, and I could not be more grateful! Thank you for putting into words my exact thoughts and feelings. Because of Bryce, I finally feel like I belong somewhere again! And what an amazing feeling that is…
Cao Brian hi, no offense taken! Playing with the amount of technology that is available in the world these days, I have text to speech software installed on my computer, and using any I product, like my iPad or iPhone, there's a feature called voice over which allows all text to be read to me and I can type and dictate everything just like someone who is cited can
Stream EXO WOLF OR ELSE I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN there's so much technology in the world now, which is a blessing. Are used the voice over features on my iPad and iPhone and use a screen reader program on my computer which all talk to me. I can interact and do anything on my phone or a computer like a cited person, just need to do things a little bit differently
Thank you. I can’t believe it took six years to find this song. I’ve been having a really hard time lately, and this song reminded me of how wonderful my wife has been through it all. ❤

On June 14, I will marry my partner of ten years. This will be our wedding song. It beautifully expresses our feelings for each other. It will be a surprise for our guests; and I expect they will all be in tears. It's such a joyful song, yet it evokes tears every time I listen to it.
The world needs more people like Rachel...She's beautiful in and out. No matter how cold your heart is, her songs always warm through and leave you smiling from your soul or filling buckets with tears (cos you probably haven't cried for months) 🤷♀️. Stay happy people. You're loved 👌
This song always gives me hope 🥰 after this pandemic is over, we will value our love ones more and cherish every moment and Our world will be a better place! In Jesus name.
Rachel Platten, you"re songs always give me something special, some things that I never open my eyes to see it, you my favorite singer! keep on donig this, I like the way you are doing your job for sharing it to others, And... you are perfect as you ARE.
She is beautiful.. smart woman.. her songs always make me feel better.. no matter how bad within in my heart.. Good job my Idol.. always like this.. humble.. smart and touch people's life from ur song.. Love ya...
Rachel I doubt you'll see this but if you do I just want to say that you should never give up on what you do! You have a beautiful smile beautiful hair and no matter how or where you sing every song I've heard of yours has conveyed a powerful message to me and I sincerely hope you get more recognition because you deserve it! Thank you for making people like me happier!
Every song Rachel puts out into the world has such a deep profoundness to it and tugs at my every heartstring. Her voice just warms me up, it's amazing.
Maybe because we saw two gay men holding hands that were called a "Couple" no it's not just "2018" it's called GROSS! I have same sex attraction but I learned to fight it and now I have a beautiful girlfriend who am proposing to in a few weeks, God did not condone Gay marriage EVER! marriage is between a man and a woman, Call It old school I don't care, I call it truth because that's what it is, one day every knew will bow, will you bow before or after its too late?
Magnolia State good for you? There is nothing wrong with same sex attraction. Get over yourself. It’s sad that you forced yourself into a relationship that you believe to be correct based on society’s precedent. I hope that one day you will truly find happiness.
Magnolia State god taught LOVE he also put down same sex love in the Old Testament which he also told us to disregard. Hoping you aren’t wearing 2 different fabrics on that huge high horse up there 😂
It's such a beautiful piece and the idea for the music video is just brilliant. I'm willing to believe that everyone deserves to have that someone that makes them feel like this, whether it be a significant other, child, sib, parent, friend.... Love's a wonderful thing.
I always listened to this song when I was with my family at a cottage we rented in the countryside..... And I miss it, this song touches me a lot, thank you Rachell😢😢😢❤❤❤
At my bar mitzvah, (becoming of an adult in Judaism), I danced with my mom to this song and balled my eyes out. This song is so deep, so beautiful, so perfect. I hope they play this at my funeral and my wedding and every significant event in my life forever. Thank you Rachel, truly.
I met my girlfriend coming off a highly emotionally abusive relationship. My ex was an alcoholic and even prior to that had a personality disorder. I had gotten used to a way of being where I felt ashamed of liking the things I liked, where I genuinely felt like I didn't deserve love. Men can be abused and emotional abuse is horrific. I got out of that relationship and years passed before I met the girl I'm with now. The difference is night and day and I remember hearing this song a few months after we got together. For me it really is true, this world is a better place with her in it. She's shown me what a healthy relationship is and loves me for all my nerdy/geeky/whacky self. This song totally encapsulates what that transition felt like for me. Thank you for this song.
@@Kanadalp same with mine with respect to BPD. They can be so charming at first then, sooner or later, the mask drops and you have a nightmare on your hands. Happy you got out! Sorry it happened.
I have BPD. There are rumors about ppl like me. But it doesn’t make me a bad person. I struggle emotionally and mentally and I’ve been through some of the roughest patches in my life, and I don’t blame anybody, but then me, and other BPD ppl shouldn’t be blamed either. BPD is a disorder, not a choice. I’m working on improving myself and feeling better, I’m truly grateful for my boyfriend to always supporting me through the worst days, and not only laughing with me, but also crying with me, to this very day. When you love somebody you dont make excuses and you would be with the person all the way. Love doesn’t know obstacles. If you truly love somebody, you wouldn’t call them “abusive”. You would see the love behind their anger, and fear through their arrogance mask because you do have a choice to. It’s easy to blame ppl, put all the weight on them and/or leave them but try and stay with ppl through their worst effing times! You will see that they just need love, support and understanding, and that can help them heal and be better partners. I wasn’t always my greatest, but my boyfriend loves me and chooses to walk the path with me no matter what. I’ll always be grateful and love him for that, and for being himself, because the best person you can be is yourself. I’m not justifying myself; I’m just saying BPD can be living hell for the ppl who are diagnosed with it, too. Another difficult thing is that disorders are not diseases. They cannot be cured. There has been researching about BPD but no cure was still found. So think this through before just branding ppl with titles and judgments.
@@elinatuktarova6725 I recognize that people with BPD are suffering as well and my heart goes out to them. However that, and whether or not one “truly loves them”, doesn’t magically make their abuse any less abusive nor does it justify it. No one is morally obligated to stay with an abuser nor are they committing some kind of sin by leaving them.
My sweet dog Shandy died, as she was put down this song played on the radio..I'm a carpenter, full of rough and curse...still, every time I hear this song I cry,...mostly in my workshop, alone...but still I cry.
michael aldan yeah I heard her whimpering at night on Easter Sunday 2016 went down stairs she couldn't move or anything she died whilst I was comforting her
It doesn't matter how many people are seeing this what matters the most is that those seeing it are loving it. That's the greatest gift an artist can ever get
Here other crying true man. Be a real man is recognize and dont hide our feelings... Rachel music is hearth touching.. She really connect with others souls.. Be in others hearts its huge better to be on Top Billboard hits..
I have never known what it's like to absolutely adore someone and love them unconditionally until my nephews and niece came along and this song always makes me think of them ❤
Rachel Platten ; Her words are inspiring ! From her - Fight Song, Stand By You , Better Place , & others . She will climb to heights, that no one else has reached !
I well give u 99 % likely ok well was gonna say nothingsa 100 but maybe I can think of some examples hmmm Anyway like ur name &, hope ull see im mostly agreeing with u and I domt know him
Get a pet, if you can afford one. :) They help with the loneliness. As for human companions, keep trying and be your best self. It's better to be happy with yourself than become someone else for the sake of popularity/love. You can do it. :)
well, you can try online dating or see if said girl (if she truly doesn't like you anymore) knows anyone. or friends. or if you're in school, sit yourself by someone new and attempt conversation or something; if you work, same sort of concept. it's all about connections and meeting new people. :)
It's way better to be alone (thought i never had anyone), be proud of it, rise your head up and move on, theres no time for such useless thing as love in life.
I love this song! So inspiring to know that Rachel is using her beautiful voice to inspire and give hope to those in needs.. and all of us here. A true artist with a touching heart! 💕
Well most people are commenting on how fast they watched it or that they were the first ones while I couldn't stop crying while watching this... how amazing could this be?? Rachel darling I believe that you truly have achieved what you wanted congratulations you are amazing...!!
Maybe because of the immorality displayed. I tried to tell myself the two ladies could be sisters or friends. But the two guys were ridiculously homosexual and looked stupid. Ruined the video, and my opinion of this singer who does not have good judgement.
I love ALL of her music but I think that the two that touch me the most are Stand by You and Fight Song!! They make me feel loved and strong in that order!!
I love how Rachel included couples of all kinds, how she doesn't discriminate against a type of couple or anything, she included everyone :) This has got to be one of my favorite music videos of all time... :)
My world is certainly a better place since discovering your songs. You are a beautiful person both inside and out. Thank you for touching the hearts of so many people. You will probably never know how the numbers you have helped with the power of your music. Bless you and all who are dear to you.
I found this song while searching iTunes. I loved it from the beginning. I sing it to my 3 year-old granddaughter and she wants to hear it again and again. She loves it and dances with me when we play it. My other favorite? Fight song. We dance to it as well. And, my little Ruthie once told me as she was falling asleep, "Grandma, I like your fight song." Thanks, Rachel. It's a better place since you came along. :)
I lost my 17 years old Bella"She was a Japanese Spitz breed girl". Two years ago and was so tough as she was recovering from cancer , and after she recovered became deaf and eye blind. It was the harshest and toughest thing to see this active little girl suffer a lot but in less than a week she died in her lovely bed and for real missed and still miss her a lot.
Dam this actually made me start crying. I made five dogs when I was little. I adored them all but my parents got rid of them when I was in school to move to my grandparents. I don’t know where they are anymore.
I miss my sister so much .... she is now in a better place to live ....yesterday is her 4th year death anniversary i miss her so much ....thank you so much Rachel Platten
Four years ago I’d listen to this song and enjoy it, now, that my brother is nearly three and I get to listen to it all over again I can’t help myself but cry. I’m so lucky to have his love, he’s my absolute favorite person. I’m sure our love is beyond this life, it’s beyond anything I’ve ever felt, and I know it is evergreen! This song means my brother to me ❤️❤️
She was born to inspire ❤️❤️
We all are.
I don't know why Rachel's songs don't get that much attention. Her songs focus mostly on hope, resiliency and perseverance.
people dont understand the hidden beauti of the songs with meaning.they only search for the melody not the meaning.
@@creedorian her songs do have good melody though
I really like here fight song ,it encourage me to go on and fight for that dream i want to come true 🤗 thumbs up for this song of her also I feel better and comfort🥰🥰💖
That's EXACTLY why they don't... industry is evil n wants you feeling lost scared and desperate...
When people happy they find the melody.when people sad they find the meaning and the the lyrics of the song.
There are plenty of talented artists in the world. But what truly sets Rachel apart from the crowd is that she truly has a heart for people and a level of compassion that none could match. This world is truly a better place she Rachel came along. Her music is about finding the good and reaching out to help our fellow man and woman. Thank you, Rachel.

What makes Rachel Platten stand out from the music industry today is that all her songs are so positive and inspired... Truly amazing.

LittleDevil0007 She has to be one of the most underrated artists ever and yet in my opinion is heads and shoulders above most of them!!
LittleDevil0007 true her lyrics are not meaningless they make sense!
Sia or Shakira....most if Their songs r meaningless but hey I really love their songs! Sia's titanium and Shakira's try everything(which actually has a lot of meaning)
LittleDevil0007 È verissimo👍
yup
you are right
I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song
It's a better place since you came along
Since you came along
Your touch is sunlight through the trees
Your kisses are the ocean breeze
Everything's alright when you're with me
And I hold my favorite thing
I hold the love that you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
We just feel so right
So I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am
And I hold my favorite thing
I hold the happiness you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
And the sun paints the skies and the wind sings our song
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along
Now I'm alright
Now I'm alright
Everything's alright
'Cause it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along

Two years later... did you play it at your wedding?
this song is so beautiful but makes me hate my life for not having anyone to share it with together 😢
Everyone has someone... Don't forget a lover/Significant other isn't the only form of connections necessary to actually live.
With that being said, if you actually have NO ONE, then go out and find someone else who has no one and you two can be each others someone. It doesn't mean you have to find a significant other.

Rachel Platten, I get so emotional whenever I watch this video. All you have to do is sing with your angelic voice, and my emotional walls just crumble. Add on the fact that you had people listen to this at a studio, no matter if they were gay, interracial, mother/son, mother/daughter, or owner and dog, you made this entire thing just... absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making this wonderful song and video. 😭😁
Same for me, I have to get a box of tissues every time I play it. It's so moving and beautiful that I'd like it to be played at my funeral. It's a nice reminder that most everyone who stands by you until the end likely made the world a better place for you, just as you did for others, regardless of race, gender, religion, etc..
I Just discovered it and almost lost it thinking about my kids and how lucky I am to have them in my life when I didn't think it would be possible
I want to look into the eyes of my wife as we have our first dance together while this song is playing. This song has such a deeeeeep meaning to me and harkins back to memories of a very dear friend of mine who was taken from this world way too soon a year before this video was posted... I would give anything to be able to see her again, to hear her call me Toddster just one more time... She was one of my most favorite people in the whole world... I want to look down into my future wife's eyes, our foreheads pressing together, seeing her smile up at me as we slowly sway to and fro to this wonderful tear-jerker of a song and I know I'm going to cry because I know I will have found my Better Place 😭❤
Welcome to the beautiful and heartwarming part of TH-cam, here have some cake 🍰🍰🍰 and enjoy your tour.

This gives me faith in humanity. Whatever we do, whatever happens, there are people like them to make us smile.
And whatever happens we will carry on with love in our hearts and smiles on our face.
😊💞
Deep
I try! :)
True for some. Not true for others.
Well said.
I smiled and cried , this is so beautiful. We need more inspiring artist like her in the world.
This song means the absolute world to me. At the age of 27, I lost all of my eyesight from diabetic retinopathy he, becoming totally blind. Feeling like my entire world is over and I didn't know what to do, then my guide dog, Bryce joined me by my side. This is the song I play every day for him and I. Having Bryce by my side "makes me feel like I've opened my eyes again, the colors are golden and bright again," it is a better place because of Bryce, and I could not be more grateful! Thank you for putting into words my exact thoughts and feelings. Because of Bryce, I finally feel like I belong somewhere again! And what an amazing feeling that is…
Cao Brian hi, no offense taken! Playing with the amount of technology that is available in the world these days, I have text to speech software installed on my computer, and using any I product, like my iPad or iPhone, there's a feature called voice over which allows all text to be read to me and I can type and dictate everything just like someone who is cited can
Elizabeth Oleksa-Roberts 😊🐾 I'm glad your dog made your world a little brighter 💛 Hope you're well.
then how are you typing?
Stream EXO WOLF OR ELSE I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN there's so much technology in the world now, which is a blessing. Are used the voice over features on my iPad and iPhone and use a screen reader program on my computer which all talk to me. I can interact and do anything on my phone or a computer like a cited person, just need to do things a little bit differently
May God Bless you with the best Angels for Protection!
Thank you. I can’t believe it took six years to find this song. I’ve been having a really hard time lately, and this song reminded me of how wonderful my wife has been through it all. ❤
Same here
Well said.
🥺🥺🥺

On June 14, I will marry my partner of ten years. This will be our wedding song. It beautifully expresses our feelings for each other. It will be a surprise for our guests; and I expect they will all be in tears. It's such a joyful song, yet it evokes tears every time I listen to it.
Congrats Jay..wish you a happy married life..stay blessed.
Congrats!
Congratulations! On your wedding day.
Just reading your story brought a tear to my eyes similar to the tears you have listening to this song.
My wedding song as well married June 2nd 2018..
The world needs more people like Rachel...She's beautiful in and out. No matter how cold your heart is, her songs always warm through and leave you smiling from your soul or filling buckets with tears (cos you probably haven't cried for months) 🤷♀️. Stay happy people. You're loved 👌
This song always gives me hope 🥰

Rachel I doubt you'll see this but if you do I just want to say that you should never give up on what you do! You have a beautiful smile beautiful hair and no matter how or where you sing every song I've heard of yours has conveyed a powerful message to me and I sincerely hope you get more recognition because you deserve it! Thank you for making people like me happier!
That was a really kind message to her i bet she loved that comment a lot
Every song Rachel puts out into the world has such a deep profoundness to it and tugs at my every heartstring. Her voice just warms me up, it's amazing.
Hi Rebecca, how are you doing
How do you dislike something so pure and wonderful
Maybe because we saw two gay men holding hands that were called a "Couple" no it's not just "2018" it's called GROSS! I have same sex attraction but I learned to fight it and now I have a beautiful girlfriend who am proposing to in a few weeks, God did not condone Gay marriage EVER! marriage is between a man and a woman, Call It old school I don't care, I call it truth because that's what it is, one day every knew will bow, will you bow before or after its too late?
Magnolia State good for you? There is nothing wrong with same sex attraction. Get over yourself. It’s sad that you forced yourself into a relationship that you believe to be correct based on society’s precedent. I hope that one day you will truly find happiness.
There is always gonna be haters
Magnolia State god taught LOVE he also put down same sex love in the Old Testament which he also told us to disregard. Hoping you aren’t wearing 2 different fabrics on that huge high horse up there 😂
Don't forget there are sadists everywhere!
it's better place since I heard ur song
ha ya
Damn straight
true...
true
Really true
I’m not crying. You are!❤
It's such a beautiful piece and the idea for the music video is just brilliant.
I'm willing to believe that everyone deserves to have that someone that makes them feel like this, whether it be a significant other, child, sib, parent, friend.... Love's a wonderful thing.
Please tell me I am not the only one who got teary eyes
ikr
ikr
u r not the only one
Me tooo, this song is just beautiful 😭💖
+Ιάσονας Ροντρίγκεζ Bitch do I look like I care? Noo! 😉😊
This is the only song that makes me cry and feel happy at the same time
I always listened to this song when I was with my family at a cottage we rented in the countryside..... And I miss it, this song touches me a lot, thank you Rachell😢😢😢❤❤❤
Thank you so much for spreading positivity!! You r awesome and love you!!!

At my bar mitzvah, (becoming of an adult in Judaism), I danced with my mom to this song and balled my eyes out. This song is so deep, so beautiful, so perfect. I hope they play this at my funeral and my wedding and every significant event in my life forever. Thank you Rachel, truly.
I met my girlfriend coming off a highly emotionally abusive relationship. My ex was an alcoholic and even prior to that had a personality disorder. I had gotten used to a way of being where I felt ashamed of liking the things I liked, where I genuinely felt like I didn't deserve love. Men can be abused and emotional abuse is horrific. I got out of that relationship and years passed before I met the girl I'm with now. The difference is night and day and I remember hearing this song a few months after we got together. For me it really is true, this world is a better place with her in it. She's shown me what a healthy relationship is and loves me for all my nerdy/geeky/whacky self. This song totally encapsulates what that transition felt like for me. Thank you for this song.
hello
@@Kanadalp same with mine with respect to BPD. They can be so charming at first then, sooner or later, the mask drops and you have a nightmare on your hands. Happy you got out! Sorry it happened.
I have BPD. There are rumors about ppl like me. But it doesn’t make me a bad person. I struggle emotionally and mentally and I’ve been through some of the roughest patches in my life, and I don’t blame anybody, but then me, and other BPD ppl shouldn’t be blamed either. BPD is a disorder, not a choice. I’m working on improving myself and feeling better, I’m truly grateful for my boyfriend to always supporting me through the worst days, and not only laughing with me, but also crying with me, to this very day. When you love somebody you dont make excuses and you would be with the person all the way. Love doesn’t know obstacles. If you truly love somebody, you wouldn’t call them “abusive”. You would see the love behind their anger, and fear through their arrogance mask because you do have a choice to. It’s easy to blame ppl, put all the weight on them and/or leave them but try and stay with ppl through their worst effing times! You will see that they just need love, support and understanding, and that can help them heal and be better partners. I wasn’t always my greatest, but my boyfriend loves me and chooses to walk the path with me no matter what. I’ll always be grateful and love him for that, and for being himself, because the best person you can be is yourself. I’m not justifying myself; I’m just saying BPD can be living hell for the ppl who are diagnosed with it, too. Another difficult thing is that disorders are not diseases. They cannot be cured. There has been researching about BPD but no cure was still found. So think this through before just branding ppl with titles and judgments.
@@elinatuktarova6725 I recognize that people with BPD are suffering as well and my heart goes out to them. However that, and whether or not one “truly loves them”, doesn’t magically make their abuse any less abusive nor does it justify it. No one is morally obligated to stay with an abuser nor are they committing some kind of sin by leaving them.
Really sorry 😔 this happend so happy everything worked out. (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
My sweet dog Shandy died, as she was put down this song played on the radio..I'm a carpenter, full of rough and curse...still, every time I hear this song I cry,...mostly in my workshop, alone...but still I cry.
michael aldan I'm 17 I had a dog since I was 2 and she died this year. dogs are just like family
thanks Thomas, it's a curse and a blessingevery time I hear this song, she dies in my arms. over and over again.
michael aldan yeah I heard her whimpering at night on Easter Sunday 2016 went down stairs she couldn't move or anything she died whilst I was comforting her
im sorry buddy...at least you were with her. I still cry, it takes time.. im not sure what to say but...you're with her..always, and she knows this..
michael aldan yeah I know
Can't wait to use this in my wedding in the future!
We used this for our first dance! For us, it was exactly the right song. Now every time I hear it I think of us dancing at our wedding
Rachel Platten's songs are all about hope which makes me hopeful and able to do things without fear. I LOVE HER SONGS SO MUCH. SO DO I LOVE HER❤❤💯
Its a better place since Rachel came along . ❤❤

Me too, and I'm not a crier. I teared up a bit at the end.
It doesn't matter how many people are seeing this what matters the most is that those seeing it are loving it. That's the greatest gift an artist can ever get
Blessed is your voice. ❤
I love how her songs are so refreshing, deep and meaningful.
It's a better place since you sang this song
Love this

It's such a pity that the song had to end. Honestly i could go on and on and listen it forever...
Yes yes thank you God is good all the time too and God bless you too 😊😊
I have never known what it's like to absolutely adore someone and love them unconditionally until my nephews and niece came along and this song always makes me think of them ❤

Rachel platten I'm going to stand by you
Rachel Platten I'm going to sing "Fight Song" for you
❤💜💓
Rachel Platten ; Her words are inspiring ! From her - Fight Song, Stand By You , Better Place , & others . She will climb to heights, that no one else has reached !
This was my first dance song with my husband. It still makes me cry. The world is a 100% better place with him in it ❤️
I well give u 99 % likely ok well was gonna say nothingsa 100 but maybe I can think of some examples hmmm
Anyway like ur name &, hope ull see im mostly agreeing with u and I domt know him
Hi Sara, how are you doing
I'm not crying.. there's something in my eyes...
shuddup your crying too 😥
Nice one😂
That Girl Named Jessi no I'm not!
Same here……totally something in my eyes
She's so beautiful.♡
JE T'AIME ❤️
it's so emotional and makes me cry
Same 😢
Aww
same :)
same
Same. Tears are flowing down my cheeks.
this song reminds me how i can't find love and i am all alone.
Get a pet, if you can afford one. :) They help with the loneliness. As for human companions, keep trying and be your best self. It's better to be happy with yourself than become someone else for the sake of popularity/love. You can do it. :)
i got a dog but i can't find a girlfriend but the girl i like doesn't like me anymore
well, you can try online dating or see if said girl (if she truly doesn't like you anymore) knows anyone. or friends. or if you're in school, sit yourself by someone new and attempt conversation or something; if you work, same sort of concept. it's all about connections and meeting new people. :)
don't worry I'm lonely 2 twins
It's way better to be alone (thought i never had anyone), be proud of it, rise your head up and move on, theres no time for such useless thing as love in life.
I love this song! So inspiring to know that Rachel is using her beautiful voice to inspire and give hope to those in needs.. and all of us here. A true artist with a touching heart! 💕
A beautiful song about recognition and appreciation of your partner ,Rachel your must be an Angel 💋❤️🌹🫶
Well most people are commenting on how fast they watched it or that they were the first ones while I couldn't stop crying while watching this... how amazing could this be?? Rachel darling I believe that you truly have achieved what you wanted congratulations you are amazing...!!
I cried so much
It's a very nice song
Same
ditto
I didn't.. No song is better than avril's ( When you're gone )
+hani alzhrani my little sister name is Avril
I heard this song on a ad for a computer lmao thank you ads I needed this in my life
Marshall Lee ME TOO
Marshall Lee dude! Same!
Marshall Lee same
same
That's how I just found it also!! I shazammed it and had to find it!
Rachel's music is so damn pure and uplifting. She's seriously such an angel.
Why Rachel Platten hasn't got a lot of subscribes and Wiews??? She is kind and she's the BEST
because people nowadays don't have brain
they are listening to rihana bitch crap songs
She deserves billions of views, billions of awards, billions of subscribers, billions of fans, everything in billions
Maybe because of the immorality displayed. I tried to tell myself the two ladies could be sisters or friends. But the two guys were ridiculously homosexual and looked stupid. Ruined the video, and my opinion of this singer who does not have good judgement.
I Agree
She hasnt had another big hit like everyone else
I love ALL of her music but I think that the two that touch me the most are Stand by You and Fight Song!! They make me feel loved and strong in that order!!
I love how Rachel included couples of all kinds, how she doesn't discriminate against a type of couple or anything, she included everyone :)
This has got to be one of my favorite music videos of all time... :)
Same, I never have really seen a music video with people and couples of all colors, shapes, and sizes.
My world is certainly a better place since discovering your songs. You are a beautiful person both inside and out. Thank you for touching the hearts of so many people. You will probably never know how the numbers you have helped with the power of your music. Bless you and all who are dear to you.
I found this song while searching iTunes. I loved it from the beginning. I sing it to my 3 year-old granddaughter and she wants to hear it again and again. She loves it and dances with me when we play it.
My other favorite? Fight song. We dance to it as well. And, my little Ruthie once told me as she was falling asleep, "Grandma, I like your fight song."
Thanks, Rachel. It's a better place since you came along. :)
I lost my 17 years old Bella"She was a Japanese Spitz breed girl". Two years ago and was so tough as she was recovering from cancer , and after she recovered became deaf and eye blind. It was the harshest and toughest thing to see this active little girl suffer a lot but in less than a week she died in her lovely bed and for real missed and still miss her a lot.
Breed? I’m confused.. is it a girl or a dog? Still, that’s so sad!! 🙁 she’s in a better place and you’ll see her again soon 👍🏻🙂😉😊😁☺️
Dam this actually made me start crying. I made five dogs when I was little. I adored them all but my parents got rid of them when I was in school to move to my grandparents. I don’t know where they are anymore.
This is so amazing. It makes me cry😍💕
I can't not cry when I hear this song while holding my dog. She is an amazing artist❤
Her voice is so beautiful
she is so beautiful. such a soft beautiful voice. this song is so touching really brings tears to my eyes.
I miss my sister so much .... she is now in a better place to live ....yesterday is her 4th year death anniversary i miss her so much ....thank you so much Rachel Platten
mark Kevin guillermo I 'm very sorry
Stay strong👍🏻
There is no better place shes just gone death ashes to dust you ningen!!!
she will always be there with you ..the better place..is the place with you..
im sorry to hear about that man just know that we are all giving you support
it cant be easy having to deal with that.
Four years ago I’d listen to this song and enjoy it, now, that my brother is nearly three and I get to listen to it all over again I can’t help myself but cry. I’m so lucky to have his love, he’s my absolute favorite person. I’m sure our love is beyond this life, it’s beyond anything I’ve ever felt, and I know it is evergreen! This song means my brother to me ❤️❤️
Touched my heart... was thinking of my daughter... "It's a better place since u came along" :'-) ... This song is for you, honey! 💞💘💓💋✨🌷
Rachel Platten, we need more artists like you! Thank You!
