      Look for the one in 2012 -- amazing song and dancing in that one, too. I have the same reaction. I think it's because it highlights common threads of humanity -- music, joy, dancing, and coming together for a moment in time, despite our different backgrounds and cultures. More of this, please, and less hate and anger...

I've been watching on and off since shortly after it came out, though not much in past 10 years, till last week. This will never get old. The music does a lot to make it so great. The UN should beam this out into space so that anyone else in this galaxy/universe knows that we at least CAN be friendly and life-loving, when we actually try. Friendly aliens would probably care a lot more about this than our math skills, etc.

    One man, one dance, in lands afar,
    Across the world, beneath one star.
    With every step, a common beat,
    In crowded streets or fields of wheat.
    A twirl of joy, a tap, a sway,
    A simple move, a shared ballet.
    No words to speak, no lines divide,
    Just rhythm pulling us side by side.
    In a world so torn by hate, despair,
    This dance reminds us we still care.
    A moment’s joy, a smile, a chance-
    We are all one in a simple dance...
    Thanks Matt. (C) 2024

They had told me suicide was a temporary solution and that so many people would be upset and blame themselves. They said I deserved to be happier and linked this video. I don't know if it was the fact someone cared or the fact that all of these people looked happy. People with much sadder lives. All I can really remember is I was crying and laughing. I talked to my mom about getting help and went into therapy. I just feel the need to share how important this video is to me and what it means.

    This video is beautiful because it brings home the fact that all of us - all humans - are essentially the same deep down. Stripped of surface differences like race, sexuality, religion, nationality, class - all petty differences that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things - we're all fundamentally the same with the same desires and needs. To be safe, to have access to sustenance and shelter, to be appreciated and to be loved and respected and to live our lives on this big rock floating ceaselessly around a big star that we call the Sun without fear of violence or discrimination. That's why this video touches so many people; subconsciously, deep down, everyone recognises these things and the beauty inherent in them; the beauty and wonder of life itself.

    Matt stated his favorite moment in the entire video was 2:33. He took the time to learn something new. A new dance. "The colors, Choreography, it was one of those moments where everything came together perfectly. You can't even tell it was 110 degrees and i was melting into a puddle." One of the greatest videos ever uploaded to TH-cam.
