+Velia Keys it's a shame though! I hear her songs all the time on the radio and on tv. it's like them media acts like she's a ghost with a really beautiful voice
+Just_That_ Dude. I think she's an indy artist, which means that there aren't huge companies backing her with tons of money. :-\ And those companies will push the shit out of someone like Miley Cyrus.
+Just_That_ Dude. yea your right! it's actually better though because she has real fans and morals and principles at the end of the day. I just listen to indie folk and alternative music
+SeanFromPVD thats absolutely not what being indie means man lol. Just because your music is not topping the charts does not mean that the artist is then "indie". Shes just not popular. But yes she is technically signed to an dependent label so she is an indie artist although there are definitely major mainstream labels that would like to sign her but it comes at a cost, she would have to produce a record with one of their producers and they probably decide the final cut of the album
My partner of almost 9 years passed away at the beginning of January this year. We lived together for 3 years and I was blessed to have known him. He was a minister and passed away from neuroblastoma cancer (a cancer that normally only affects children). He was only 42 and struggled with coming out most of his life. He bravely battled with cancer for 6 years. A couple of days after he passed I got up the strength to go back to work (retail) and I heard this song for the first time. It has truly been my anthem for getting through this transition in my life and reassures me that he is still with me every day. Thank you Ingrid for blessing us with this song. Beautiful video too.
I can't even begin to imagine how amazing this experience must have been. Ingrid has helped me in so many ways throughout my life and I could never thank her enough.
It's a great breath of fresh air from the normal grind of sads songs, broken hearts, me and my problems, bla bla, etc., lol. We need more positive songs about encouragement these days.
My workplace actually played this song on the speakers. I found it really catchy, so I had to find out who performed it. Suddenly I am really curious about what the rest of Ingrid's discography is like.
I like when she said 'Living like you're dying isn't living at all.' It just told me I needed to move on with my life, because bad things happen, people die. It also reminded me of something I heard off a TV show (Once Upon a Time I think) adn it said 'Surviving isn't living.' I think if we remember that, we will be happy in life. Love you Ingrid.
The same thing was said by Eep when she was vehemently arguing with her father about the life they used to live (Dreanworks: The Croods) "That wasn't living! That was just... not dying. There's a difference!"
I just loved the part of the video when a woman writes that her fear is to be unloved and then everyone hugged she I was like so emotional 😪😭😭☺️🙌👏❤️ I just love this video and this song so much, I think that they complete each other. I JUST LOVE INGRID
Ingrid made the person who was afraid of looking different look completely different, but the person afraid of disappointing their mom just had their mom come on and be all lovy.
Actually it is about where we are. Cause she is literaly singing the truth here but nobody realizes it. We already died and moved on to the afterlife, now working through our shit so we can finally get some rest.
Those of you reading this comment, you are beautiful and those around you are too. No matter, and especially how different you are. No one can take that away from you. I repeat. NO ONE. Have an extraordinary day. 🎈
amazing idea, I couldn´t stop smiling and when there were the boy with the coming out and the one who cut the hair, I was so close to cry, it was really emotional, I feel really proud of Ingrid doing such a amazing stuff and especially proud of all the these people.
Heard she wrote this shortly after losing her mom to cancer and needed something upbeat to remind herself that everything would be ok. Lost my mom to a very long hard year of fighting cancer and can relate. Thank-You, Ingrid and so sorry for your loss. 😢❤
Me too . Losing my Mom was my biggest fear. 2020 i faced that fear because I lost her to cancer. This album takes me back to a simpler time in my life. Thanks for sharing
They need to show this at every school every year. I'm sick of seeing people bullied just for being themselves and others being scared because of seeing what some people go through. Love this song and I just may break your repeat button
Yup. Definitely crying. Thank you, Ingrid, for continuously proving yourself to be a fantastic human being, pushing us all to be our best selves as well!!
Don' worry...Ingrid is making off fine on this song on audio play. It's been at heinous levels of overplay since 2014...to the point that if I never hear it again, it would still be too soon. Really not even that good a song to start with.
Living like you're dying isn't living at all. This song brings up such mixed emotions. I love love LOVE it. My friend Raechel sent it to me when I needed it most, she passed away a month ago and its like everytime I am sad or missing her..I hear this! Miss you my love!
I just watched an interview of you on the morning news here. I had known you lost your Mom this year, HUGS. And so while listening to your interview, I love you even more. I cannot wait to hear your music for years to come
What a sense of joy this video brought, I've been feeling kind of lonely recently and it really cheered me up. It must have been great to meet Ingrid in the video.
I love this Ingrid Michaelson song. I love the song's message about being brave and facing your fears. I remember when I started facing my fears of dolphins back in 2012.
Up until I saw the sign with the kid with the "coming out sign" I was emotionally stable, I lost it when I saw that because it just so reminds me of myself...
I LOVE YOU INGRID!!!!!!!!!!! This song...this video was so touching. Those big name artists could never touch me the way you do with your music. You are a true artist!!!
I cried as well. Seeing so many people overcome their fears (many that I also have) is hugely inspiring. This might be one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. Thank you, Ingrid,from the bottom of my heart.
I've heard this on my local radio in Traverse City, Michigan 3 times!!! I start banging on the dashboard each time I hear the first 3 seconds of the song! Congratulations Ingrid!! Another hit song!! :D ~ Your fans love you!!! ~
Still one of the best songs ever made, Making people feel loved & comfortable about things. This world is filled with lots of sadness but every time I watch this a little hope & happiness comes back. Thanks Ingrid, You're one amazing human being!
This got me smiling during the entire video (: Ingrid, you seem to be sooo sweet!! Wishing I could meet you one day in the Netherlands! Much love and support, Eline
i kept hearing this song for a movie ad and normally i skip ads but whenever that ad is on i just cant skip it so thought i would hear the full song and man its beautiful!!!!! this deserves more views!
This is AMAZING!!! I'm obsessed. So much love to all the brave souls who faced their fears, and to Ingrid and her creative team for the perfect video for such a beautiful song.
All of these people were probably signed up for Ingrid's lovely mailing list! I remember seeing the email asking people to come in with their fears and I was like THATS SO COOL THE VIDEO WILL BE AWESOME and look IT IS AWESOME and emotional and sweet and my new fav music vid of ingrid's. i don't think i can love her even more!
I love the way she shines through in her videos with such boldness yet she doesn’t have to over sexualize herself, others or add the fake drama other do. Her voice, personality and beauty are more than enough to keep your attention and to love her.
So beautiful and wonderful, this is what everyday of our lives should be, overcoming our deepest fears and becoming stronger, happier and more positive humans. Ingrid, kudos for the awesome music and inspiring video
Ingrid is one of my favorite artists ever. This has got to be one of the most inspiring music videos i've ever seen. it brought tears to my eyes. thank you for spreading your art and love. ❤️
I don't understand. How does such a beautiful song..not become...known world wide? She deserves this! Yet so few subs, views, and she sings her heart out. Ingrid, you are, a hidden talent. Maybe we fans should ask Simon Cowell to make you famous.. I'm sure he will!
I'd like to see how the video would play out with some other fears..."I'm afraid of having unprotected sex"..."I'm afraid of trying cocaine for the first time"..."I'm afraid of committing a bank heist"...Don't worry, Ingrid's on the case.
Ingrid is the kind of person who should be getting recognition. she's amazing
+Leslie Tovar yes, too bad she's not well known...
+Velia Keys it's a shame though! I hear her songs all the time on the radio and on tv. it's like them media acts like she's a ghost with a really beautiful voice

💞💫
Yes but this song is wrong cause we are not the afterlife the afterlife is heaven
@johnnycarter2283 That depends on an individuals beliefs. Because your belief is different from hers doesn't make this song wrong.
i cried. i don't know why, but there are tears
same.
I CAN RELATE
me too
Every time. EVERY time. She's just so damn cute!
Julia Goodman I'm bawling 😭
I got emotional immediately. Ahhhhh.
same here. five seconds in and i was a mess. Then again, it's 3: 42 A.m. and i need sleep.
But i agree.
Me too! The "My daughter can do no wrong" did it for me.
i started crying and my mother was like "what's wrong with you"
and i was like
HUMANITY'S COMPASSION
Me too
This is just a beautiful video that's all.
Ahh! Immediately teared up when the mom was holding her sign. Disappointing my parents is a fear of mine as well.
same reaction :)
Same here!
YES! And when she started to almost cry it made me feel worse!
THIS MAKES ME SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY
this comment is ahead of its time
This is what I call a music video. The world needs more artists- and PEOPLE- like Ingrid out there.
I can't even begin to imagine how amazing this experience must have been. Ingrid has helped me in so many ways throughout my life and I could never thank her enough.
I love this too!
this made me cry!!!! my love for ingrid just grows and grows
That is sooo cute😊
I love these videos, so full of the bright side of the human condition...brings out the touchy feely in me! Thanks Ingrid and crew!
It's a great breath of fresh air from the normal grind of sads songs, broken hearts, me and my problems, bla bla, etc., lol. We need more positive songs about encouragement these days.
My workplace actually played this song on the speakers. I found it really catchy, so I had to find out who performed it. Suddenly I am really curious about what the rest of Ingrid's discography is like.
These kind of songs will definitely be needed for the next 4 years.
that coming out guy brought me to tears.
LGBTQ for the win!
Me too, he was sooo cute😊
I like when she said 'Living like you're dying isn't living at all.' It just told me I needed to move on with my life, because bad things happen, people die.

Omg same here
May have shed a tear or two while watching this! So in love this song and the video complimented it perfectly.
Ingrid made the person who was afraid of looking different look completely different, but the person afraid of disappointing their mom just had their mom come on and be all lovy.
if i were them i would say i was afraid of a million dollars
I hear that's just a small loan
@@shafiendd I'm here at 3 am just dying with laughter XD
@@shafiendd ahhahaha
missed opportunity
Awww u so cute
This is a song about courage!
no shit
Just Mand Yes shit
+Justin Carson Are you trying to be funny?
Nikita Ben Nope... Are you?
Actually it is about where we are. Cause she is literaly singing the truth here but nobody realizes it. We already died and moved on to the afterlife, now working through our shit so we can finally get some rest.
Awesome video! Got me all teared up... =) My new favorite song!
Those of you reading this comment, you are beautiful and those around you are too. No matter, and especially how different you are.
No one can take that away from you. I repeat. NO ONE.
Have an extraordinary day. 🎈
+Jonathan Miranda God bless you, my friend.
Thank you 💙
+Elvina C Thank you and right back at you. You're a beautiful spirit.
+Elvina C what about those of us NOT reading this comment o_O

I'm in tears. Ingrid is a beautiful human and I won't listen to anyone who says otherwise.
This is why I love Ingrid so much! No other music video had me crying like this, she is really an amazing person
Heard she wrote this shortly after losing her mom to cancer and needed something upbeat to remind herself that everything would be ok. Lost my mom to a very long hard year of fighting cancer and can relate. Thank-You, Ingrid and so sorry for your loss. 😢❤

@karalynnkeller213 🥺 I'm so sorry for your loss. It leaves a huge void, doesn't it?
They need to show this at every school every year. I'm sick of seeing people bullied just for being themselves and others being scared because of seeing what some people go through. Love this song and I just may break your repeat button
This video made me so happy. She deserves so much more success.
Beautiful.. If only we as humans could support each other like this instead of tear each other down. Loved the song and the concept.
Couldn't agree more.
I'm so proud of all these people! Especially the person who cut their hair and the one who danced onstage with ingrid this is really great!
Ingrid just became my new favorite female artist.
No, actually, scratch that, she just became my favorite artist.
Like, ever.
Love you, Ingrid!!
I will never get tired of hearing your music Ingrid
She does not get enough credit for how amazing she is, Ingrid Forever!!!
This made me cry so much
I was not expecting tears from this!
Yup. Definitely crying. Thank you, Ingrid, for continuously proving yourself to be a fantastic human being, pushing us all to be our best selves as well!!
this should have wayyyyy more views
ikr?
Don' worry...Ingrid is making off fine on this song on audio play. It's been at heinous levels of overplay since 2014...to the point that if I never hear it again, it would still be too soon. Really not even that good a song to start with.

Not only a beautiful song but it’s 4 minutes of free therapy.
2:00 you're gonna catch me if I fall... :) this is great!
I love you more Ingrid (is that even possible ha?) for doing this beautiful video. Thank you :)
I just watched an interview of you on the morning news here. I had known you lost your Mom this year, HUGS. And so while listening to your interview, I love you even more. I cannot wait to hear your music for years to come
What a sense of joy this video brought, I've been feeling kind of lonely recently and it really cheered me up.
It must have been great to meet Ingrid in the video.
I love this Ingrid Michaelson song. I love the song's message about being brave and facing your fears. I remember when I started facing my fears of dolphins back in 2012.

Great song and video. Also, I really love what you did for those kids for Bert's Big Adventure this morning. God bless you Ingrid!
I cried all the 4 minutes and 2 seconds of this video
This is 4:03 how about the 1 second?
Tomas Barbin I died in the last second
+Sophie J. she's with me now, in the "afterlife" hahahaha
M JoJo I am. we eating cookies.
Why does this video only have a little over a million views? And there's 278 thumbs down. Really??? What's the matter with you people???
this song is so underrated!
I LOVE YOU INGRID!!!!!!!!!!! This song...this video was so touching. Those big name artists could never touch me the way you do with your music. You are a true artist!!!
why doesn't this have more views?! it's cool song
Ingrid is beautiful... And don't mean her looks.. But certainly that too ^_^
this brings tears to my eyes Ingrid is AMAZING this video helps alot to know that everything is going to be alright
I cried as well. Seeing so many people overcome their fears (many that I also have) is hugely inspiring. This might be one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched. Thank you, Ingrid,from the bottom of my heart.
Really cheesy, but I love it. I love cheesy. I am cheesy. Cheesy is always true. Thanks Ingrid :D
u just made me hungry
Meccarox Me too
CHEESY IS THE BEST :D
cheesy is everything.. the new trend ;)
Meccarox ikr hungry now. FOR CHEESE likebrea and swiss and parmesan :3 and mozzerella and and.... should i go on?
I've heard this on my local radio in Traverse City, Michigan 3 times!!! I start banging on the dashboard each time I hear the first 3 seconds of the song! Congratulations Ingrid!! Another hit song!! :D
~ Your fans love you!!! ~
I'm incredibly amazed by the presence of my niece in the video facing the acrophobia, am so proud of her, good luck Ina! you've gotta good job!
Already loved her, then I saw this video.......love level off the charts!!!
Every time i watch this I cry... I love this video.... Ingrid will always be my favorite artist!!!! #lovehersomuch
Still one of the best songs ever made, Making people feel loved & comfortable about things. This world is filled with lots of sadness but every time I watch this a little hope & happiness comes back. Thanks Ingrid, You're one amazing human being!
Love how uplifting mid 2010s music was. Forget 80s throwbacks, we need mid 2010s throwbacks to become a thing
real they brought up pressing issues while also being fun and not extremely autotuned. a nice balance of both seriousness and fun
I NEVER cry with music videos. This one has been the exception for a long time now. Thank you, Ingrid
This got me smiling during the entire video (:
Ingrid, you seem to be sooo sweet!! Wishing I could meet you one day in the Netherlands! Much love and support, Eline
An uplifting and empowering song that always puts me in a good mood, no matter how difficult my day has been.
That was an emotional trip. Thank you.
This song makes me appreciate life more 💯
I'm crying to this. This is very beautiful.
So are you
Nicholas Grefe ***** ayyyyy
Ingrid Michaelson is criminally underrated!
i kept hearing this song for a movie ad and normally i skip ads but whenever that ad is on i just cant skip it so thought i would hear the full song and man its beautiful!!!!! this deserves more views!
Lmfaooo same 😂 The tune was stuck in my head from The Intern ad 😂😂
It's a rare thing for a song and video to touch my heart and make me cry. This video did. Thank You Ingrid.
BRASILLLL MAUAMAUMAU! DIVAAAAAAAAA,AMO SUAS MÚSICAS!!!!!
The fact that the reactions on these peoples faces are of genuine happiness is what makes this video stand out for me. Plus I love the music
Omg I used to be obsessed with this song
Same here 🙌🙌
This is AMAZING!!! I'm obsessed. So much love to all the brave souls who faced their fears, and to Ingrid and her creative team for the perfect video for such a beautiful song.
All of these people were probably signed up for Ingrid's lovely mailing list! I remember seeing the email asking people to come in with their fears and I was like THATS SO COOL THE VIDEO WILL BE AWESOME and look IT IS AWESOME and emotional and sweet and my new fav music vid of ingrid's. i don't think i can love her even more!
Ooooo can't stop crying!!!! This is why I love Ingrid Michaelson.
I was looking for something great i type this song and artist i came here like a boss. So glad i did it.
I love the way she shines through in her videos with such boldness yet she doesn’t have to over sexualize herself, others or add the fake drama other do. Her voice, personality and beauty are more than enough to keep your attention and to love her.
So beautiful and wonderful, this is what everyday of our lives should be, overcoming our deepest fears and becoming stronger, happier and more positive humans. Ingrid, kudos for the awesome music and inspiring video
This song and video still uplift me as much as it did 9 years ago. Makes me cry but gives me hope at the same time. Thank you Ingrid ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This Girl is a Dream Come True
God I Love Her!
I love this video so much! Not only is it an amazing song but the message shown through the peoples fear and lyrics is just...mind blowing!
Am I the only one who gets the feels when watching this? Lol
+DJL93 You are not.
That's the truth!
nope, I cried
DJL93 nope, i beyond love this video!
DJL93 I was fighting back tears... 😂😂😭😭
I am literally crying!
You are such an inspiration Ingrid :)
This deserves way more views!
I swear this video always puts me in my feels. Needs to be seen by millions more people.
This made me cry😭
Still such a beautiful song.
I have heard her in videos and during the one live concert I saw, say that she was unattractive...She has to be kidding ! She's such a beautiful lady.
I've met and spoke with her 3 times so far. She either has to be kidding or is very modest.
Ingrid is one of my favorite artists ever. This has got to be one of the most inspiring music videos i've ever seen. it brought tears to my eyes. thank you for spreading your art and love. ❤️
The message doe'
I don't understand. How does such a beautiful song..not become...known world wide? She deserves this! Yet so few subs, views, and she sings her heart out. Ingrid, you are, a hidden talent. Maybe we fans should ask Simon Cowell to make you famous.. I'm sure he will!
At 2:36, I almost cried...
beautiful song with such a great meaning being given through the video
I'd like to see how the video would play out with some other fears..."I'm afraid of having unprotected sex"..."I'm afraid of trying cocaine for the first time"..."I'm afraid of committing a bank heist"...Don't worry, Ingrid's on the case.
" i'm afraid of being poor"
A video to warm even the coldest heart. Hope to see Ingrid break through charts with this tune
I think Ingrid Michelson has to be the most down to earth person ever
How bout Jennifer Lawrence?
Okay, you got me. Ingrid Michelson is the second most popular person ever. Right behind Jennifer Lawrence
Definitely seems like a gentle soul. Nothing wrong with that.
She has such a beautiful soul which she has shared to us through her amazingly beautiful songs. I love her.
"I'm afraid of my increasing student loan debts". Want to see that one play out.
This video is hitting home with me right now. Super hard. I'm crying pretty hard right now.
