Clementine orange Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Apparently it is only available today, watch it if you can. For some reason I almost started crying while watching this. It's a small world afterall.... link removed Should be required viewing for anyone depressed, or sad, or lonely, or feeling isolated. Link to comment

Whiskers Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm loving this right now. XXXX Thanks P. I wasn't depressed but it's always a pleasure...wish I'd been there. Link to comment
just M.E. Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 That is great but it really proves one universal truth that we all secretly knew but were afraid to admit ..... White people can't dance, yes, it really is true ;-) Thanks for sharing, CO, very nice thing to do! Link to comment
CakeLove Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Wow, why did I cry though? Weird..they were just dancing. Thanks CO, I am going to send this to the people I love, and some I don't. : ) Link to comment
kaoticbaby Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 ohh i heard about this. i forgot the full story, but it's some guy (cant remember his name, sorry! he has a website though so if i can find it i'll post it) who didn't have a lot of money but really wanted to travel the world. so he took a year off to backpack and he started a website for his family, where he would film himself dancing in every country he went to, so that they could always see where he was! i love it Link to comment

Thanks CO, I am going to send this to the people I love, and some I don't. : ) I dont' know why I got all kinda weepy. The music maybe brought it out, plus the whole "we can all get along" kind of thing. North korea was depressing though. It's just he seemed so happy and enthusiastic. "What a wonderful world" Link to comment
Supa_gurl Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I can't see it because I don't have flash player 9 and can't install because this is a work computer.......This totally bites. Haha Me too Metrogirl. I have the exact same problem. I am hoping it will still be viewable in about 3 hours. Link to comment

CakeLove Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I think for me, it had something to do with the "Don't worry;be happy." frame of mind. We are all wrapped up in our own petty problems, anxieties, hearing negative crap on the news every day....you start to feel like the world is pretty much a horrible place (no wonder people are prone to depression these days!) This video was just silly. Just happy. No reason, no goal. It was just dancing. How sublimely simple. If anyone else has some positve links to send out there..I would love to see them. Let's call it "Anti-news"...I am tired of worrying and thinking. It's nice to just be at peace for a few minutes ! Link to comment
Clementine orange Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 . How sublimely simple. If anyone else has some positve links to send out there..I would love to see them. Let's call it "Anti-news"...I am tired of worrying and thinking. It's nice to just be at peace for a few minutes ! What a brilliant idea! - anti-news. I love it. I love the "sublimely simple" phrases too. Gosh Im in a good mood now. I think I will go and inflict it upon some random people. Link to comment
-Ophelia- Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Clementine orange I know what you're talking about! I saw it a week ago and I had the exact same feeling. Loved it, but made me teary and I eventually cried a little. It's sweet and very very touching, I guess that is why we felt that way. I agree with ghost69, it makes us all feel connected somehow. Regardless of where he was, and who he was with, there is always the language of dancing, laughter and spontaneity that has the power to make us closer. Plus the song is lovely. Loved it. You can find it on youtube, it's called where the h*** is matt. Thanks! Link to comment

relm Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hello, I too was very touched by this video when I discovered it a few weeks ago. What touched me was the spontaneous universal and contageous joy expressed by EVERYONE in the video. It is really beautiful. The music is by Gary Schyman who is in the video at 3:40 seconds recording the music for the video. here is the link: link removed Link to comment
A World Away Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 That video is so beautiful. It's so uniting. It just shows how everyone can be happy together with not a care in the world. It makes everything seem so insignificant. Life should be like this more often. Link to comment
hmm1 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 This made me even more depressed. Everybody's happy and dancing and having fun except me. Link to comment
RockabillyLove Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I was neutral until I saw some person in red fall on their butt while they ran in.... THAT made me cack up something wicked. Link to comment
