True but 1) this comment made me laugh :) and get out of that depressed state instantly 2) I like the end: hopes never dies ;) I was waiting for the punch line... I love the way the emotion rises in the music gradually and find it interesting that the lyrics here are completly (well maybe there's a story behind) made of that fantasy imaginary world instead of the typical love song that usually goes with that kind of emotional ride. The video is interesting to watch and I like the contrasting birds flying free of fear or obstacles versus the horses drowning in the water or emotional world. There's a lot to say about horses and their qualities and they're well described here. Great composition, though it is sad.
Agreed. I can't understand when everyone says hope never dies. There is no hope for those poor horses & they die a painful death full of terror. For me this is just too painful to contemplate. I know its just a song but for me this is not a song about hope. Its a song about pain suffering & a painful death. There is no hope.
with horses or with other animals it is really depressing, but what if there were humans you don't know? would it still be that depressing? (just asking, you don't have to answer and sorry for bad english ':D)
I can't stop crying!! In the whole song, I can feel Alexander's pain! And the message is clear, how a person feels in depression but at the end you know, you hope that something better can happen because like he said "hopes never dies"
horses are so underrated, people dont realise how loyal they are...they're like big rideable dogs! always loving their owners and while didnt cry this was super sad :(
This absolutely beautiful and emotional but can we also talk about animation??? It match so well with spirit of the song and in general is so well made
Very very long time fan here: I really miss songs like this (Songs from the first album in general). I still enjoy the newer songs (That's How You Write a Song, Magic, Looking my Way and so on) but I think the first two albums were the best in terms of how much I liked listening to them. I really appreciate the fact that you stick with whatever you feel like the most. Always continue to be yourself in your music ❤ - we will always be here to hear it, no matter the genre and no matter the song. I really just needed to put this out here. Lots of Love and keep it up ✌❤
I also thought the 'Fairytales' album was awesome (although I was blessed never to think of the meaning behind the lyrics of 'Horses'! And music videos like others, like "OAH", "Into a fantasy", "Roll with the wind"... there are some other songs that it's difficult to listen all the way through recent songs, to be completely honest. But I guess that's the same with all artists. And I appreciated the rain video, even though I wasn't madly in love with the song that went with it (^_-)/. Anyway, good luck Alex.
The first time I listened to this song, a few years ago, my English weren't so good, yet it made me cry my heart out for some reason. I loved and love horses, they're so majestic. From then on, every time I listen to it I get goosebumps all over and I'm in the brink of crying. Now that it was accompanied by illustrations, I really cried. This song is so emotional and beautiful. I'm so glad it finally has an actual video! It remains one of my all time favourites.💜 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
How do you relate it with your own life? The great Alexander, here in america 13, is superstitious. Most buildings won't have a 13th floor. Instead, they divide 12 into 2 parts and then skip to 14. They do it by saying 12a and 12b.
This reminds me of Diogenes, one of the founders of the philosophy of minimalism. He lived long ago with nothing but a barrel for a home and a bowl for his water and soup but one day he saw a kid cupping his hands to drink water and tossed away his bowl as well. Then, one day, Alexander the Great, having heard of him, sought him out and offered him anything he wanted within his power to grant it to which diogenes simply said, "Could you step aside? You're blocking the sunshine." Which back then was worthy enough of insult to be killed for...
But he wasn't killed. Instead, Alexander bid him farewell turned to his steward and said if I didn't have to be who I am, then diogenes is who I'd like to be. Diogenes was known for walking around during the daytime with a lit lamp while saying, "Are there any honest men out there? I'm simply looking for an honest man. Nope, it appears there's none to be found!"😂😂
@@dakotapeters5654 I just wrote that I liked the song and how it moves me with its melody and story. I have no idea what you're trying to ask in your first comment. Most cultures have a superstition with the number 13. F1 drivers never use the number etc. In Greece we consider Tuesday 13th unlucky for some reason as well. The song is simply heartbreaking for me. 13 horses are left to drown in the sea, trying to survive, but doomed to fail. I also don't understand how Alexander the Great is relevant to a comment that just states that I liked a song about horses and how the illustrations make it even more heartbreaking.
@Alexandra-cu7cd I was messing around with your name. Sorry. I have a tendency to jump to the next thing that I'm reminded of when I type things out or talk. So Alexandra reminds me of Alexander the Great, and he reminds me of Diogenes. I'm not that great socially cause of it sometimes cause the other person or people involved may not understand or be interested in what I say. But I like to think of it as random filler information. I didn't know 13 was superstitious in many cultures, though that's interesting... I know some cultures go off a 13 month lunar based year. I appreciate the song and the added information. Hopefully, the ending to the dying horses' story is that they are reborn as sea horses so they can swim. That'd make it less sad. Which I. I'm probably going to just pretend it is the ending, so I can feel like karma came around and blessed them with a gift for what they had lost.
Ben biliyorum Alexander anlatmıştı ve bi kısmınu hatırlıyorum kalanını unuttum.şarkı şöyle:13 at Zorlu bir günde denizde yola çıktı hedefine gitmek istiyor lardı.fırtına çıktı ve giderken bazıları öldü ilerleyenler onlar in ağladı ama devam etmek zorundalardı.Kötü dalgalar onları engelleliyordu.Boğuluyorlardı ama pes etmiyorlardı hedefleri deki yere gitmek zorundalardı gerisini hatırlamıyorum bu yorum 5 like geöerse Alex'in bu şarkının öyküsünü anlattığı o videoyu tekrar izler ve burada anlatırım her like 1 destek
im in tears 😭 listening to this for the hundredth time and im still crying it reminds me how life goes and it saddens me more that i can relate to the song and how painful surviving is
NOOOO this is the one thing I never wanted, was a visual of this song. But my nostalgia's gotten the better of me, so of course I clicked. I love the entire album this song was on
This used to be my favorite song of yours when I was a child. It was the very first song that made me cry. Now here I am, 11 years later, crying like a baby to this video. I'm soooo happy it got visualized! 13 Horses is a beautiful song, deserving of such a beautiful video. Thank you. Love, always ❤️ from Greece 🇬🇷
Настолько глубокая песня, что, когда слушаешь и смотришь видео, забываешь о всём...и только образ 13 лошадок остаётся в сердце... Спасибо за проникновенное исполнение, Александр!
Shout-out to all the labor/ war animals esp the horses that have served humankind, built civilizations, transported goods, cultivated fields, used as food, herded cattle, esp those who have fought in battles....🙏🏾🙏🏾
6/13 mister E lady? Odd... I was born on the mirrored horizon of those numbers. 9/13 I suppose the 9 is also mirrored vertically. September also found out the roots meaning of September is 7th fire
Слушая эту песню, всегда представлялась именно эта картина: кругом вода, берега не видно, лошади выбиваются из сил и тонут. Конец представлялся более счастливым, что наконец то виден берег и есть надежда, что кто-то выживет. Исполнение песни гениальное. Мороз по коже. Спасибо, Саша. Спасибо за анимацию автору.
This song reminds me of how empty and pointless hope is. It never dies but it actually does nothing but makes us feel better about our circumstances and deludes us that something better will eventually come. But it's more than often nothing will change 🥲
I know the person who made the animation in this video, I saw the emotion while she was working💐, I can't contain the tears, the horses make me think of thousands of other human beings who risk their lives in ocean crossings like this one in search of new* hopes ❤️
was really upset that the notification of the song was coming because Aleksandr said it was the saddest song he knew and I thought it would be difficult for him to sing.😭🎼💕🎶
13 horses swimming in the sea Waiting for someone to find them Their ship is gone and now they are alone With water everywhere around them The men were saved from the sinking ship Right before it started to burn And while they're safe their loyal friends need help Patiently waiting for their turn 13 horses swimming in the sea They don't even know it's pointless The pride remains but this time it won't help They used to be so tall and suddenly they're small There's a couple way too far behind Soon they will be out of sight But then who cares, they're dying anyway All of them are doomed this night 11 horses swimming in the sea The sea they thought was just a river They're used to this, it's probably just a race That helps to ease their minds, but where's the finish line? The night grows dark, the body wants to rest It hurts to breathe and still they do their best They want to live no matter for how long Their thoughts have disappeared 'cause now they're pretty scared 7 horses struggling in the sea Waiting for someone to find them They don't look back 'cause what's the point of that There is only death behind them They cry for help but help will never come They don't know where to swim or what they're swimming from They try to swim some more when panic starts to spread They're swimming into shore but only in their heads The 3 last horses dying in a sea Shouting of their cries for no one They're born to win, they're screaming in their hearts The strength of thousand men, they're fighting 'till the end The sun is up, birds are everywhere They're flying high, surfing in the air It's nice to live when life is such a bless One horse that swims it seems to be the last The 13th horse has always been the best His owner will be proud but now he wants to rest He's longing for his home, the girl will give him food "Good boy" she'll say, together they will play 13 horses swimming in the sea Soon they will be gone forever And while they swim one thing still remains And that's the hope that never dies It never dies, it never dies
This song is so freaking sad And I always imagine horses struggling in the sea fighting for their lives when hearing this song😭 Now it's animated and it makes is so more sad😭
I remember, some years ago I just saw one of your Q&As, where somebody asked you why 13 Horses so sad. Even I found it in UA-cam, now it's also on your channel and good to see 13 Horses here! So emotional and one of my favourite sad songs. 😥❤️❤️
Грустнее песни я нигде не слышал... Плачу каждый раз, как слышу, ничего не могу поделать... Вижу в ней аллегорию прощания с детско-юношеской наивностью... Взрослея, мы прощаемся с нашими идеалистическими взглядами на этот мир, - с каждым годом наши лошади наивности и иллюзий тонут, мы становимся грубее и ожесточеннее на этот мир.. Но в песне есть надежда,- последняя лошадь,- это то, что мы, повзрослев, в глубине души можем сохранить юношескую чистоту и в хорошем смысле наивный взгляд на мир,- а значит у нас есть надежда остаться Человеком, не загрубев под натиском жестокости и жесткости этого мира...
13 at denizde yüzüyor Birisinin onları bulmasını bekleyerek Gemileri gitti ve şimdi onlar yalnız Etraflarında suyla İnsanlar batan gemiden kurtarıldı Tam o (gemi) yanmaya başlamadan önce Ve onlar güvendeyken sadık dostlarının yardıma ihtiyacı var Sabırla onların dönmesini bekliyorlar 13 at denizde yüzüyor Amaçsız olduğunu bilmiyorlar bile Gurur kalıyor ama bu sefer yardımı olmayacak Eskiden çok uzunlardı (büyüklerdi) aniden kısalar (küçükler) Çok uzaklarda bir çift var Yakında görüşten uzak olacaklar Ama o zaman kim umursar, her durumda ölüyorlar Hepsi bu gece lanetlendi 11 at denizde yüzüyor Deniz sadece nehir diye düşündüler Buna alıştılar, büyük ihtimalle bir yarış Bu akıllarını sakinleştirmelerine yardım ediyor ama bitiş çizgisi nerede? Gece kararıyor, vücut dinlenmek istiyor Nefes almak acıtıyor ve hala ellerinden gelenin en iyisini yapıyorlar Ne kadar uzun olursa olsun yaşamak istiyorlar Düşünceleri kayboldu çünkü şimdi onlar çok korktu 7 at denizde cebelleşiyor Birisinin onları bulmasını bekleyerek Geriye bakmıyorlar çünkü bunun anlamı ne Arkalarında sadece ölüm var Yardım için ağlıyorlar ama yardım asla gelmeyecek Nereye yüzeceklerini bilmiyorlar ya da neyden yüzdüklerini Biraz daha yüzmeye çalışıyorlar panik yayılmaya başladığında Kıyıya yüzüyorlar ama sadece akıllarında Son 3 at denizde ölüyor Çığlıklarını bağırıyorlar hiç kimseye Kazanmak için doğdular, kalpleriyle çığlık atıyorlar (çığlık atarak kendilerini yırtıyorlar) Bin insanın gücü, sonuna dek savaşıyorlar Güneş tepede, kuşlar her yerde Yüksekten uçuyorlar, havada sörf yapıyorlar Hayat bu kadar kutsanmışken yaşamak güzel Bir at yüzüyor sonuncusu gibi görünen 13. at her zaman en iyisiydi Sahibi gurur duyacak ama şimdi dinlenmek istiyor Evi için hasret çekiyor, kız ona yemek verecek İyi çocuk diyecek kız, beraber oynayacaklar 13 at denizde yüzüyor Yakında sonsuza dek gitmiş olacaklar Ve onlar yüzerken hala bir şey kalıyor Ve bu da hiç ölmeyen umut Asla ölmez, asla ölmez Çok uğraştım bir like atarmısınız❤️❤️❤️
@Enes Elkoca haklısın ama bunu Google çeviride çevirdim yani onlar başka anlıyor olabilir Türkçe'den bir harf değişince anlam değişebiliyor ama ingilizce böyle değil bir kelimeyi farklı anlıyorlar daha nazik ve estetik bi cümle olabilir ama böyle saçma çeviriyor çeviriler sende haklısın

This is fantastic Alexander. And one of the tunes that changed my entire view of you. It made me see you more as an artist (kunstner) and less as an artist (artist)! :)
Unbelievable lyrics. And music. Can’t listen to it though without crying. Curious how he was writing it … he must be much stronger than his listeners. Either way, he’s a genius.
this song is beautifully painful. it is properly amazing in a way i cant even describe... you can hear the suffering in the lyrics and the sound. often times i find sad songs being about love, but this one is more personal, different from the ones that ive heard. i love it! its now one of my favorite songs honestly
Love you alexander ! I love your songs you are the best singer i ever KNOW keep doing more different songs love evey second of your songs! You are the best .
Came back to this because it is like looking at the sun; intriguingly painful. This is the saddest yet simultaneously most brilliant song I have ever heard.
I heard this song was so sad at one of your Q&A, and I tried to find it but I couldn't on your youtube although that I'm happy now, it's good to finally able to listen to it. Thank Alex.
Спасибо за очень мотивирующую и оптимистичную песню!) Мы все обречены, по большому счёту, но, чем сильнее наша вера, тем дольше мы держимся на плаву...И смысл жизни в том, чтобы надеяться и жить) Классное решение видео, когда месседж контрастирует с общей интонацией и даже с цветовой гаммой. По крайней мере, я так это восприняла))
I find the song very motivating and optimistic. Though we all are doomed to sink(die) , the stronger our belief is, the longer we keep swimming (living). That's how I understand the chief message of this video which seems to contrast both the sad tune and the gloomy color scheme. Living is believing.
13 horses
100% sadness
100% depression
100% suffering
100% hope and 100% hopeless
:(
This is the most depressing song in the world
True but 1) this comment made me laugh :) and get out of that depressed state instantly 2) I like the end: hopes never dies ;) I was waiting for the punch line... I love the way the emotion rises in the music gradually and find it interesting that the lyrics here are completly (well maybe there's a story behind) made of that fantasy imaginary world instead of the typical love song that usually goes with that kind of emotional ride. The video is interesting to watch and I like the contrasting birds flying free of fear or obstacles versus the horses drowning in the water or emotional world. There's a lot to say about horses and their qualities and they're well described here. Great composition, though it is sad.
Agreed. I can't understand when everyone says hope never dies. There is no hope for those poor horses & they die a painful death full of terror. For me this is just too painful to contemplate.

Im sorry alexander, I cant watch the video till the end. Its tearing me apart :'(
My heart cant handle it
13 horses swimming in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
Their ship is gone and now they are alone
With water everywhere around them
The men were saved from the sinking ship
Right before it started to burn
And while they're safe their loyal friends need help
Patiently waiting for their turn
13 horses swimming in the sea
They don't even know it's pointless
The pride remains but this time it won't help
They used to be so tall and suddenly they're small
There's a couple way too far behind
Soon they will be out of sight
But then who cares, they're dying anyway
All of them are doomed this night
11 horses swimming in the sea
The sea they thought was just a river
They're used to this, it's probably just a race
That helps to ease their minds, but where's the finish line?
The night grows dark, the body wants to rest
It hurts to breathe and still they do their best
They want to live no matter for how long
Their thoughts have disappeared 'cause now they're pretty scared
7 horses struggling in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
They don't look back 'cause what's the point of that
There is only death behind them
They cry for help but help will never come
They don't know where to swim or what they're swimming from
They try to swim some more when panic starts to spread
They're swimming into shore but only in their heads
The 3 last horses dying in a sea
Shouting of their cries for no one
They're born to win, they're screaming in their hearts
The strength of thousand men, they're fighting 'till the end
The sun is up, birds are everywhere
They're flying high, surfing in the air
It's nice to live when life is such a bless
One horse that swims it seems to be the last
The 13th horse has always been the best
His owner will be proud but now he wants to rest
He's longing for his home, the girl will give him food
"Good boy" she'll say, together they will play
13 horses swimming in the sea
Soon they will be gone forever
And while they swim one thing still remains
And that's the hope that never dies
It never dies, it never dies
This song is so freaking sad
And I always imagine horses struggling in the sea fighting for their lives when hearing this song😭
Now it's animated and it makes is so more sad😭
Me too ಥ⌣ಥ. I cry of happiness
me too !!!
C'est une de mes chansons favorites d'Alexander Rybak. Félicitations pour cette vidéo.
This song is beautiful and so emotional as a horse enthusiast , I can’t add this to my playlist but I would cry every time
It's sad, yet beautiful and full of hope. The graphics are gorgeously made 💕

My only wish is that the story isn't true
Well... There are a few more than thirteen animals who've died tragically due to humans
Peperty _ 🙂😐😕🙁☹️😟😔
Well the metaphor in the song is
@@reallltired_9713 The song isn't about humans murdering animals though. Calm down.
@@reallltired_9713 There are very sad stories of so many innocent animals killed by human beings. If you listen or watch them, I can drown in tears
I remember, some years ago I just saw one of your Q&As, where somebody asked you why 13 Horses so sad. Even I found it in UA-cam, now it's also on your channel and good to see 13 Horses here! So emotional and one of my favourite sad songs. 😥❤️❤️
This Song is a true masterpiece! It´s so dramatic! Still loving it :)
SOOOOOOOO heartbreaking!
😭😭😭😭💔💔💔
Animals are sooo loyal.
VERY GOOD song!
Well sang and animated!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟
such a heartbreaking song, but I love it!
Грустнее песни я нигде не слышал... Плачу каждый раз, как слышу, ничего не могу поделать...
Вижу в ней аллегорию прощания с детско-юношеской наивностью... Взрослея, мы прощаемся с нашими идеалистическими взглядами на этот мир, - с каждым годом наши лошади наивности и иллюзий тонут, мы становимся грубее и ожесточеннее на этот мир..
Но в песне есть надежда,- последняя лошадь,- это то, что мы, повзрослев, в глубине души можем сохранить юношескую чистоту и в хорошем смысле наивный взгляд на мир,- а значит у нас есть надежда остаться Человеком, не загрубев под натиском жестокости и жесткости этого мира...
Эта песня моя самая любимая у Александра Рыбака!!!
An amazing artist, amazing song, and yes I do cry when I hear it.
Przepiękna piosenka. A głos Aleksandra cuuudny . Gratulacje
Ok, I'm crying and cannot stop for ten minutes straight, but that's beautiful, thanks
You are the reason I played the violin for a year
13 at denizde yüzüyor
Birisinin onları bulmasını bekleyerek
Gemileri gitti ve şimdi onlar yalnız
Etraflarında suyla
İnsanlar batan gemiden kurtarıldı
Tam o (gemi) yanmaya başlamadan önce
Ve onlar güvendeyken sadık dostlarının yardıma ihtiyacı var
Sabırla onların dönmesini bekliyorlar
13 at denizde yüzüyor
Amaçsız olduğunu bilmiyorlar bile
Gurur kalıyor ama bu sefer yardımı olmayacak
Eskiden çok uzunlardı (büyüklerdi) aniden kısalar (küçükler)
Çok uzaklarda bir çift var
Yakında görüşten uzak olacaklar
Ama o zaman kim umursar, her durumda ölüyorlar
Hepsi bu gece lanetlendi
11 at denizde yüzüyor
Deniz sadece nehir diye düşündüler
Buna alıştılar, büyük ihtimalle bir yarış
Bu akıllarını sakinleştirmelerine yardım ediyor ama bitiş çizgisi nerede?
Gece kararıyor, vücut dinlenmek istiyor
Nefes almak acıtıyor ve hala ellerinden gelenin en iyisini yapıyorlar
Ne kadar uzun olursa olsun yaşamak istiyorlar
Düşünceleri kayboldu çünkü şimdi onlar çok korktu
7 at denizde cebelleşiyor
Birisinin onları bulmasını bekleyerek
Geriye bakmıyorlar çünkü bunun anlamı ne
Arkalarında sadece ölüm var
Yardım için ağlıyorlar ama yardım asla gelmeyecek
Nereye yüzeceklerini bilmiyorlar ya da neyden yüzdüklerini
Biraz daha yüzmeye çalışıyorlar panik yayılmaya başladığında
Kıyıya yüzüyorlar ama sadece akıllarında
Son 3 at denizde ölüyor
Çığlıklarını bağırıyorlar hiç kimseye
Kazanmak için doğdular, kalpleriyle çığlık atıyorlar (çığlık atarak kendilerini yırtıyorlar)
Bin insanın gücü, sonuna dek savaşıyorlar
Güneş tepede, kuşlar her yerde
Yüksekten uçuyorlar, havada sörf yapıyorlar
Hayat bu kadar kutsanmışken yaşamak güzel
Bir at yüzüyor sonuncusu gibi görünen
13. at her zaman en iyisiydi
Sahibi gurur duyacak ama şimdi dinlenmek istiyor
Evi için hasret çekiyor, kız ona yemek verecek
İyi çocuk diyecek kız, beraber oynayacaklar
13 at denizde yüzüyor
Yakında sonsuza dek gitmiş olacaklar
Ve onlar yüzerken hala bir şey kalıyor
Ve bu da hiç ölmeyen umut
Asla ölmez, asla ölmez Çok uğraştım bir like atarmısınız❤️❤️❤️
@Enes Elkoca bence çok duygusal ve mantıklı Alexander Rybak'ın en üzüldüğü şarkı buymuş
@Enes Elkoca haklısın ama bunu Google çeviride çevirdim yani onlar başka anlıyor olabilir Türkçe'den bir harf değişince anlam değişebiliyor ama ingilizce böyle değil bir kelimeyi farklı anlıyorlar daha nazik ve estetik bi cümle olabilir ama böyle saçma çeviriyor çeviriler sende haklısın
@Enes Elkoca hayır mesela yabancılar bir şey diyor altyazı basit ve kaba anlatıyor ne dediklerini açıklayınca aslında cümlenin ne olduğunu anlıyorsun Türkçede bir harf bir noktalama değişince anlam değişiyor onlarda öyle nereden mi biliyorum çünkü çok fazla ingilizce eğitimi aldım ve yabancılarla ingilizce mesajlaşmışlıklarım çok kendimi geliştirdiğim için böyle bir yorum yapabliyorum
@Enes Elkoca Biraz zor ama zamanla insan daha iyi anlıuor
@Enes Elkoca evet videolar yani editler yapıyorum
This is fantastic Alexander. And one of the tunes that changed my entire view of you. It made me see you more as an artist (kunstner) and less as an artist (artist)! :)
I can't go back without clicking that like button.
Thank you for this beautiful song Alexander. Your voice is really calming and has taken to another world. 💚💛💜

Oh my God! Your song, your voice and the animation broke my heart. My eyes were full of tears at the end of the song!
Wow absolutely beautiful, cudos to that amazing artist!!
Got me in tears in seconds
Beautiful! Thank you 🌹✨
Очень трогательная песня , знаю ее с детства , спасибо Саша за клип , за оранжировку и исполнение. 🌷
Очень грустная песня. И если столько людей не могут сдержать слёз при её прослушивании, то это значит, что песня действительно хорошая. Горжусь.💖
Хорошая тк написана не им
Unbelievable lyrics. And music. Can’t listen to it though without crying. Curious how he was writing it … he must be much stronger than his listeners. Either way, he’s a genius.
What a beautiful song🤗 you're a magical singer Alex
this song is beautifully painful. it is properly amazing in a way i cant even describe... you can hear the suffering in the lyrics and the sound. often times i find sad songs being about love, but this one is more personal, different from the ones that ive heard. i love it! its now one of my favorite songs honestly
Incredible song... love from italy💖🇮🇹
I love this song and the animation is awesome! Crying everytime i hear this song 😢
I remember listening to this song many years ago. I'm happy to see it get some love. -Well wishes from the USA

Such a tragic, yet beautiful song. Thank you for this song, Alexander. xx
So sad for the outcome but proud of their determination to overcome their situation.
The hope that never dies💔
so proud of you Mina! good job💓
Какая чудесная песня, Саша. Ты просто супер. ❤️❤️❤️
:)
Your the best song!
Came back to this because it is like looking at the sun; intriguingly painful. This is the saddest yet simultaneously most brilliant song I have ever heard.
When the tears won't fall, I remember the horses.
And revisit their watery grave.
Finally got myself to listen to this song and now I’m literally sobbing thank u Alexander 😭💔 #savethehorses
the song is so sad and beautiful that I have to cry ♥ ️ ♥ ️🥺
Oh my god my list just went through Kotik to 13 Horses.
Crying, just crying.
I wasn't ready--
Hope never dies ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This has always been one of my favorite songs ❤❤ very beautiful
So sad, and nevertheless so beautiful .. this whole Story.
Thank You for Your Work !!!
Omg im in love with this song
However it is depressing
But it has some power 🥺
His songs are just making me crazy
Love u Alexander 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺💜
What a sad song, but it is full of feeling in Alexander's voice. 💕
I heard this song was so sad at one of your Q&A, and I tried to find it but I couldn't on your youtube although that I'm happy now, it's good to finally able to listen to it. Thank Alex.
Спасибо за очень мотивирующую и оптимистичную песню!) Мы все обречены, по большому счёту, но, чем сильнее наша вера, тем дольше мы держимся на плаву...И смысл жизни в том, чтобы надеяться и жить) Классное решение видео, когда месседж контрастирует с общей интонацией и даже с цветовой гаммой. По крайней мере, я так это восприняла))
I find the song very motivating and optimistic. Though we all are doomed to sink(die) , the stronger our belief is, the longer we keep swimming (living). That's how I understand the chief message of this video which seems to contrast both the sad tune and the gloomy color scheme. Living is believing.
Alex ,You give the world what is most beautiful your talent .Thank you
:)
It is so beautiful that man loves to praise it♥️🥺🇮🇷🇮🇷
What a great, sad song!
Whith tears, i send greetings from Brazil!
Просто " БРАВО!!!" 👏👏👏
