TLDR: I'm so grateful that this video is a source of peace for so many of you. I made it for my wife when we started dating. She needed a safe space and I wanted to give it to her in a way that it would always be available. Thanks for 1,000,000 views and please remember that gentleness is the balm of mankind. So... I made this loop for my then girlfriend as a Christmas gift. After it blew up in views, I promised her that if it ever hit 1 million (as if that would ever be possible), I'd post about the story of how we fell in love. Cheesy, I know, but that was the promise. Coincidence of all coincidences, we got married the day this hit 1 million views, so I've gotta make good on that promise. But Ill try to keep it short. To preface, I am a trans man and my wife is cis and bi. My wife says that the first time she saw me she thought "Wow, they look like home." Unfortunately, we both attended a small hyper-conservative Catholic college. We both had to face our own self hatred for being queer, the social shame of being THE ONLY queer couple, and the prolific disciplinary action enacted on us by the administration and professors. In the face of all this, we realized that this wasn't a fling, we loved each other. But even still, the backlash was too great and we broke up out of fear of being expelled. The night we decided to do this, she just kept playing the track Nemo Egg on repeat and had to go back to her laptop every minute to replay it. I decided then, in the face of young heartbreak, that I was going to make this exact video for her. Fortunately, we couldn't stay away from each other and got back together. That kicked off YEARS and struggling to find identity outside of our narrow view of faith. We lost all our old friends who shunned us for loving each other. We lost our families who refused to support their kids for being queer. We were written up at the Title IX office for "sexual misconduct" because of an incident where we walked and held hands. So we took our relationship underground. Didn't admit it to even close friends for 3 years. And slowly we started to pick up the small queers who were being run over like we had been. We made a family of those queer people. We found that the narrow view of love given by Catholicism did nothing but hurt our community. When COVID hit, we knew we needed to jump ship because going back to live with our families was not safe. So we took a leap of faith and rented a house with other members of our queer family. From there, my girlfriend and I finally had a safe enough environment to be able to grow in our relationship without fear of backlash. It was a beautiful thing to learn to love each other in peace, when we had spent our whole lives believing (because of Traditional Catholicism) we would never find love or happiness while remaining in our faith community. And on those nights that it was hard, because of faith, the world burning, or just stress, we would listen to this track and remember the home we had found in each other. My love, you are hardworking, kind, stubborn, filled with wonder, brilliantly smart, and there is no one I admire more. Even if we hadn't met at that wretched place, I know the universe would have brought us together some other time. You are inevitable to me. See how our love has made a safe place 1 Million times over for these good people. All our love and support, Israel and Elizabeth (now an Episcopalian Trans Bean & Happily Agnostic Bug)
man I visited this video years ago and decided to come back today, and a personal update was not what I was expecting. You click on a UA-cam video and you never really know the story or stories of the uploaders. But I'm glad you shared yours, and I'm glad you and your wife made it work!
Guys if your ever overwhelmed with life, or you feel angry or down about anything, just take some breaths and listen to this and just think about everything great you have and just hold on to it
My lil bro and i would sit in the recliner with dad and watch this. Back then i hated how chandler always got tobpick the movie. Now i have to fight the tears because idk how 20 years can go by so fast. Cherish every moment people.
This makes me think about how important my dad means to me whenever I was little I had brain cancer and my mom was bipolar and left so he is only one around and I appreciate him a lot
Hearing this when I'm older will make me break down in tears. All my childhood memories that I had, and the fact that I will never be a child again. You only have one life 🥺
2019 is the year of nostaliga. The year is about to end. Play with them while it's still in theme with the year, before the next blockbuster game comes out. We have now a pause between AAA games, perfect for revisiting the classics.
Life will always continue. It'll go on, no matter what. We love, we cry, we move on. We work at our jobs, we see our children grow up and eventually we die. It's the short time you spent here that counts, it's what you leave behind and how you made people feel. Find your truth, enjoy life.
Annie - you’re not living until you find something to die for. I was always told that and never understood what it meant. I do now tho. The relationships we build with our family and friends are so important because that’s how we go on. When you impact someone in such a way that you leave a mark in their heart, you’ll live on forever in that person and them in you. Life is what YOU make of it. So make it beautiful in your image.
I still remember the theme matched with the scene like PERFECTLY, when the title FINDING NEMO pops out, I remember the exact tune, always gives me teary eyes.
We’re all a little heart broken in one way or another but the most important thing to remember is to just keep swimming because it’s moments like these.. moments where you can genuinely feel the music in your soul.. you can feel it grab you heart and squeeze it as hard as it can.. moments where you read a comment that so perfectly explains the feelings that you hadn’t been able to give words to.. moments where you feel a little less alone. We all need those moments.. they’re far and few between but they make all the heartache worth it I love you.
I'm so happy that I got to see Finding Nemo in the theaters during the Summer of 2003 when I was 5. I still watch it a lot to this day. It's definitely one of greatest animated films of the 21st Century, not just that, it's one of best animated films of ALL time.
I wish I got to see it in cinemas, but I was just born that year. I'm 18 now and I remember this movie as my favourite Pixar movie ever. Just watching it over and over on the TV. Life was good.
Yes this was such amazing movie best best Pixar movie to ever be writing in movie history thts for sure made me cry I’m 29 I was like 10 years old when it came out and watching it it was so awesome amazing movie
I saw Finding Nemo in theatres when I was 3-4 months old (so it was literally the very first movie I watched), I don't remember it because I was a baby but I had a DVD of it that I would watch religiously as a kid. I turn 20 this year and so will this movie. It's always been my favourite Pixar movie.
This movie was apart of my life when I needed it. Like most people around me, my dad left. I don’t remember it. But I would always miss him when he wasn’t around. I only got to see him on weekends. I remember watching this movie with him. Just like Nemo, I was waiting for him to come back and find me. Child me is still watching, Dad.
Im im bed right now, im 18 and school is almost out. Im scared. I will be what I dreamed of. I will. No one believes in me. But I will show the world who I truly am. Im scared of death. Like this song reminds me of a peaceful death. What comes after it? Im scared. Im a lost boy. I dont know where im going. Im just scared of life. I dont know if I can handle it. Will I be with the one? Will i finally hold a hand? Im tired. Good night from Washington
aThere is no need to fear death, little one. Our creator promises to end death and all the things thst cause us pain. (reveiation 21:3,4) Very soon it will happen. Graduation can be scary, but life on the other side isn't so bad. You can't force yourself to grow. It just happens naturally. Just continue being yourself ❤ and dont let anyone stop you from doimg what is right. I'm out here rooting for you.
You’ll be fine my boy! When I was 18 I too was scared of what was and what wasn’t. Each day will go by faster then the next and before you know it you’ll be looking back like that wasn’t so bad. You’ll have many obstacles and challenges, but with that comes reward. Work on being the best version of yourself. Focus on upgrading your software AKA your MIND. The one thing I always thought about while growing up is that I never wanted to struggle in life. That’s kept me always constantly chasing for more and more. Don’t stop grinding, always keep going! Keep your head up.
Hey, I’m from BC, just the province above you. I’m turning 19 in 2 months from now, I understand how it feels when people discourage you, even though they say they’re “telling you the truth of reality and helping you out.” I just wanted to say that I’m proud of you for keeping your head up and I appreciate your self-determination to complete your goal. I lack self motivation, like, a LOT. I’ve been working on it for the past year since graduating, and am headed to post-secondary in September. Not quite sure what I want as a career yet, but definitely headed forwards. Best of luck to you.
The Simba I fell into the ocean letting it’s calm waters envelope me listening to it’s waves and looking at all the colorful fish and plants seeing the sun reflect through the water
I see comments often on videos of music from the 20s or 50s and they say "dang I grew up in the wrong generation." I always want to reply to those comments with a link to this video. Beautiful music doesn't have a time period. It just changes to bring us something new. I am so grateful I grew up in the early 2000s where the first movies I ever saw were full of life-changing music like this.
I feel ya man I’m the youngest in my family and I lost a sister who was the first one born, she wasn’t even a year old. This song helps me create memories I could’ve had with her, I even see her walking the isle with this music playing, it’s heartwarming for sure
I'm 19 and I can't stop listening since I've watched this movie last 2005 until now, it's just making me comfortable and even cried over and over again. 2000 babies are the luckiest generation so far hope we can get through this, life isn't easy but have time for yourself a meditation and looking back from your childhood. Comments here are so overwhelming, take care y'allz love y'all so much.
Sometimes, I close my eyes and just breathe and listen to this song. The once ragged and tiring breaths slow down to a much calmer one. You lie down still as you feel the slow, consistent pulse through your fingers and chest. Your chest rises and falls with small weight on each one. You can feel the air flowing and the movement of the empty emotion flowing through the air. You are not exactly sure what it is but you feel it. Is it nostalgia? Loneliness? Contentment? You are not sure as you feel so empty but full of emotion at the same time. All you know is that you are there. Not dwelling on the past, not worrying about the future. You are there in the present. There is still a hint of fear and anxiety luring around the corner-no, a whole crowd of fear and anxiety is ready to jump at you. You’re scared, even terrified. This fear threatens to quicken your heartbeat and ruin the feeling you have right now. But it all soon disappears as you remember the words: “I will never let anything happen to you, Nemo.” Though these words are meant for an imaginary fish on a screen, you can’t help but feel the comfort of the words seep into your skin as you can almost feel the hug surrounding you tightly. You cry a bit both in sadness, loneliness, and happiness. No one ever said that to you. No one ever loved you hard enough to hug you as you cry. To listen to all of your troubles but still be there to comfort you. To encourage and make you smile when you are sad. To not prevent your tears from flowing but to cry with you. To protect you when you feel insecure and scared. No one has ever said that to you. You cry harder now. You are sad and a bit depressed to be honest. You don’t realize that you are hugging yourself tightly now. But with the final melody of the music, it all of sudden makes sense. It clicks right in. The room stops spinning and you can feel your pulse starting to calm down again. It doesn’t matter if no one has ever said that to you. It doesn’t matter if no one loves you. Because you can. You can love yourself. You can hug yourself when you feel sad. You can cry a long with yourself when you don’t feel so good. You can protect yourself when you are scared. You can say “I love you” to yourself. It doesn’t matter if others don’t believe in you. Only you need to. You can do it. You mean so much. You are important. You are okay. You’ll never let something happen to you. Because you love you. What once was an obvious fact to ourselves has dulled over and over over centuries of years. Social media, social interactions, everything today causes us to forget the basic fact of our lives. The one thing that must always stand true. Before others can love you, you must love yourself. If you can’t love yourself, how can others love you? You realize that all this time, you hated yourself. You despised every little thing about you. Why are you so fat? Why can’t you be smart as the rest of them? Why are you so rude? Why are you so ugly? Why are you so obsessive? Why are you so you? But you forgot that maybe, no one thinks this except you. Maybe, you believe that others don’t-others can’t love you because you don’t believe you can love yourself. As the music flows through your ears and into your soul, you learn the most important thing in life. More than what you learn in the prisons you call classrooms. More than what you learn in jobs, colleges, or even life itself. It’s that it’s okay to be okay. You don’t need to feel happy or sad. You don’t need to be perfect or damaged. You don’t need to feel anything at all. You don’t need to be tall or short. Fat or skinny. Pretty or ugly. Smart or dumb. You don’t need to be anything at all. You just gotta be you. And that’s enough. It’s okay to feel empty. It’s okay to feel “fine”. It’s okay to be just “okay”. It’s okay because you are you. Because you love yourself. Because you’ll never let anything happen to you. (Sorry for the huge ass writing... i just wanted to share my emotions)
i remember reading this comment last month and taking a picture of it. usually i skip past super long comments because i just cant sit still long enough to read them. but this was one different. it was like i was reading someones heart and soul.. it just hit me with so much emotion and power. i ended up reading the entire thing and saving it on my phone to read again in the future. coming back to this video and finding this comment again, idk. i just wanted to comment back :)
I used to watch this non stop on the VCR player when I was a kid. Listening to this just brings me back to being a small kid looking in awe at this film constantly with my little blue blanket on me. It doesn't sound like a lot but thank you so much for putting this on the internet, and bringing me back to those good times, especially when life is getting tougher for me as the days go by. From an university student :)
Brother I used to watch this movie all the time to it made me cry also but it made me feel good that his father was there he was right there for his son from the beginning
I cry every time listening to this song. It makes me miss being a kid. I just want to be able to feel that same feeling. I really miss it. It so different now.
We have those memories to look back on though. All those mornings waking up with the sunshine beaming through our windows seeming somehow brighter than it is today. The laughs and carefree moments of pure bliss. Times when our only worries were what was happening in the moment, instead of responsibilities. It may be different now, but that childhood is always there for us to remember. For that, I am grateful.
From the age of 5 I’ve always thought this soundtrack to be one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Still brings a tear to my eye, even today at the age of 20 🧡
Omg I thought this was my channel. I was like “woah I don’t remember writing that”. I have never seen someone so close to resemblance. We even used the same box image from google 🤯
@@ABoxIsMyHome honestly I was thinking just that 😭 I was like ‘why have I replied to myself and asked myself to respond…to myself???’ At first I thought I had early onset altziemers because I know I DEFINITELY wasn’t active three weeks ago. LOL
This is the Most peaceful and lovely comment section i have ever seen... A terrifying feeling that time floats so fast and we all grow up that fast. I am scared of what happens next in this world. Sometimes i wish i could go back in time where i saw the world from a different perspective and just was endless happy. When i hear this theme i see the sun in the evening, looking right at me as a young boy, being joyful. That just makes me cry, because of sadness but also gratefulness. And it kinda also makes me happy, i don’t know why. It’s a feeling that movies like Toy Story or Kung Fu Panda also give me. I hope u are all safe, guys.
Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
I couldn’t wait to show Nemo to my son once he was old enough to watch it. He’s 10 now and now I have a 10 month old. We are listening to this as we cuddle because he’s not feeling well.
I got so angry and overwhelmed with my infant then suddenly the scene of Marlon came into my mind of him holding Nemo saying "there there. Daddy's here. Daddys got you." And I realized she's just so tiny like Nemo was in that scene. She's not crying for any other reason than she needs me. Needless to say I cried like a baby, picked her up, and gave her lots of cuddles.
This is so nostalgic and wonderful childhood memories right here. Just reminisceing over the years. This song has once made me cry over ar again. The sound of this is just so graceful. Who would know that someone would make video likes. This deserves more vids subsYou speak fro the bottom of my heart.
Because as we got older, we have lost that hope we felt years ago and now this song reminds us of that old lost hope, the only thing you can do is make a new hope🥺👍
I needed this song right now. With all the craziness going on in the world. I am so stressed out. 2020 is the worst year ever. I hope it can get better. :(
There will always be Ups and Downs in life. These are challenges we must overcome. It may not be easy or warranted by us, but it is in fact the walk of life. Uphill or downhill, we will find our way through it all. Stay strong.
Sometimes I wonder why I’m even here, but then I remember, I was born in 2000. Gifted with an absolute treasure chest of movies to grow up with and reflect on 23 years later. Back when movies taught children lessons in life. *Finding Nemo:* To keep trying no matter how hard things get. *Kung Fu Panda:* Pursue your dreams. *UP:* Understand compassion and empathy for others. *Wall-E:* Integrity is everything. *Ratatouille:* Teamwork makes the dream work. *Monsters Inc:* Setting aside differences to help others in need. *The Lion King:* Overcoming hard times, to better yourself. As a kid, you really don’t think much about the movies you watch it’s just funny, and sad, and entertaining. But I see now how much little things like good movies helped develop who I am as a person. Finding Nemo is definitely one of those movies.
I get sever migraines occasionally. Putting this video on in the background is part of my healing routine. You don’t even know how much pain this has saved me. Thank you for your contribution, as small as it may seem.
I'm 18 years old who struggles with depression and suffers with sadness and anger inside. This brings me into tears everytime I hear this, it's really comforting and I am relieved that I grew up with this being apart of my childhood.
I’m 19 and I feel the same way. I struggle with depression and anxiety a lot. It’s especially tough with my mom passing away in October of 2020 but I always find a way through it.
I have a firm testimony. Our Heavenly Father watches over us. Guides and protects us. It may not prevent the trials and heartache we experience but he is there through our entire mortal experience lifting us up and ensuring we have the power to press forward. I know if we come into Christ through prayer we can receive of his hope light and love. “There, there. Daddy’s gotchu”
@@zizek4630 this comment section shouldn't have any arguments... we're all here to let go and have peace for a moment... if you disagree its OK to not comment. I won't share my opinions on religion here because we're all here to escape. Please consider that... thank you🙂
@@mouthy_maestrod2992 I was probably in a bad mood when I wrote that comment and wanted to be a dick, you're right this isn't the place for arguments :)
I cry. I just cry when I listen to this, not in sadness, but in stride through hopefulness being a parent someday. Being gay, I'll support my kids 110% always.
Anyone else crying, thinking about how barely 10 years ago most of us had no obligations, no responsibilities, no worries..... Not a care in the world. Total and complete bliss and wonder.....
I needed this..... fiancé and I aren’t together anymore and this makes me feel really warm.... sucks being sad and I don’t think it’s cool when people flex it to get attention....
i had this song stuck my head because i found out i had a second brother but...he died when he was in my mom's stomach. I have never been so sad before i was crying for like 45 mins. Right now he may be watching over me and my little brother and it's like he telling me "protect our little brother". So i'll do what ever it takes to protect my little brother and make my other brother in heaven proud and happy.
Finding Nemo was always a comfort movie for me growing up. i've seen it so many times i could quote the entire thing from heart. this song is engrained in my very soul and always bring me good feelings.
People die, memory fades, life goes on. This song is the only thing in this world that helps me find my inner peace. Keeps the memory fresh of being a kid and being able to remember back to the simpler times when things were easy. Life is really a gift u shud cherish and every moment that comes with it.
My dad and I would watch this all the time together as a kid. It reminds me of summer vacations and beach days with him and my mom. I don't live with them anymore and those days are long gone, but boy do I wish I could go back. I miss those vacations and beach days when it was just us and nothing and no one could hurt me.
My life wasn't easy growing up as a teenager, but this one of a kind song made me feel like a young kid again! I miss the 2000s so dang much, I would even tell my mom back then to repeatedly watch Finding Nemo because of how good and heartfelt it is. And now, I keep thinking about being a stay at home dad one day and teach my future son about this movie and how connected a father-son relationship can be taking from the perspective of Finding Nemo!
Reminds me of my grandpa who is no longer here. Reminds me of when he use to take me to the beach an watch the tides come in an out or just explore the coast in general. I am blessed
I'm not crying you are. No but for real I love this I can remember when life was simple and I had no worries in the world. I can't wait to see the world again
This is my go-to song when I'm having issues focusing on a hard essay. It's so soothing and nostalgic and completely takes my mind out of my stressful situation and transports me back to when I was a kid watching my favorite movie.
This feels like a good place to pour my heart out so here is goes I love this so much it feels like an escape. Away from this pandemic away from stress of school or work and let me breath it was so hard to lose my cat she was my best friend and was the only one there for me she licked the tears off my face I would do anything to go and see her she’s alive and okay but I just really miss her
Christmas of 2003 (about 20 years ago) I had been gifted a VHS copy of Finding Nemo and I remember watching the movie for the first time on the same day and seeing this exact scene and being moved to tears by this song. That year was one of the worst years of my life. I was 8 years old. My parents had just divorced months prior to that day. Only a couple days later after Christmas my grandmother passed away. I wish I could go back in time just to hug my 8 year old self and tell her "Things will get better over time."
1994 here. I'm still the same as I was back then. We are all children in our hearts. Always remember what Jesus Christ said " Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these ". Save your heart. 💖🙏
This always makes me feel so calm. It allows me to miss the simplicity of my childhood, all whilst being immersed in it. I remember watching the film 19 years ago at the cinema with my little family, and feeling wrapped up in my Dad's arms in front of the huge screen and blackened surroundings. I was mesmerised. My sister not so much, as she fell asleep - something we continue to joke about to this day. I live alone now, at 23 years old and 100 miles away as I work towards gaining my career. I come back to this when things seem too tough, too complicated or just a bit lonely. It takes me back to that very day in the cinema; a day that I never knew would mean so much almost 20 years on. I miss my family, and I miss being kid.
i’m crying right now because i want my mom and dad to be together again. and i want to see my friends that are far away from me like my friend felicity. i miss her a lot we both liked the same things. i also wish that i was 5 again too.
Don't worry, there will be people who care for you even at the the darkest times, even when there isn't anyone around, there are people who want to help you. Don't forget it.
The best thing about it is that this generation will be filled by excellent people who have a passion and have been inspired by the incredible people who have been inspired by other incredible people. No matter how many mass shootings, wars, and religions. This world will never run out of passionate people, and I’m one of them, are you?
It was 2004. The movie has been out for a while on VHS and DVD a lady a bus driver lady gave us this movie for the weekend and it still makes me cry through this day.
I’m ugly crying right now 😕 sometimes you gotta listen to the vibes you once knew in your youth. Live your truth. I am a 2001 baby, and this song reminds me of 2007ish or so, and It brings me back to a very cozy moment in life. The simplicity of it all blows my 19 year old brain!!! I love you ❤️
I’m 21 and this music makes me have flashbacks to all my relatives that have passed and the happy times and it helps me calm down during a depressive episode. Thank you Disney
Hearing this again is so bittersweet. It's a sound of reminiscence from my childhood and all those vivid memories replay in my mind once more when everything felt safe and alright.
I went to egypt last summer. As I watched the barrier and the fishes I immediately played this song in my head. I teared up. Newman created a masterpiece: I can really feel the sea and its life in this song. Now my dream is to go visit the Australian reef, the real place that inspired this song and this movie, and to replay this song in my head as I already did while watching the masterpieces of nature❤
I loved this movie so much. When I was young I watched it over 20 times. I still love it. The characters, the story, the music, the lessons. Everything. I will never forget them.
We (Izzy and I) worked to remove the midroll ones, but can't stop youtube from putting ones at the beginning if there are less than 10,000 subs. I'm sorry my dude, it's frustrating for us too.
Anybody else go back in time? To place where the weight of the world didn’t have place in your mind? Sleep overs at a cousins house? This was a good memory
i am going through a difficult time right now with letting things go in the past. something that impacted me in a wonderful way and had a great memory. it now feels destroyed because of another person who was apart of that memory. and i want to let go of those feelings and it’s hard and it hurts and somewhat feels impossible. so i hope to find the end of this hard journey soon :(
So damn peaceful. I imagine myself swimming in an ocean with an impossible colour. The perfect temperature, and it feels heavenly around you. I think of it as the final state of all things that is and isn't. Like an "everything came from the sea" type thing but for the multiverse. Just an ocean of infinite size and a sky of the most pure white. One that just heals you by looking at it.
went to the theatre to see finding nemo for my 6th birthday and remember being emotionally stirred by this song and the corresponding scenes. now I'm a drunk 26 year old crying in nostalgia. l'm just so tired.
This song just reminds me of simpler times. Before i had to worry about getting a job, or college, or becoming an adult. i miss the old days when i was a kid where i had no worries. I always told myself i couldnt wait to grow up. And now i would do anything to go back. Such a calm and easier time stress free.
You articulated my feelings exactly. My parents gave me the best childhood a kid could ask for, but yet it was also so ephemeral. And as naive children, we have no idea how precious that season of life is until it's passed. Time marches on though, and starting a new chapter in life can be fun. Here's to our young adult years! May our future selves look as fondly back on them, as we're looking back on our childhood right now.
@@babynieve9612 one of the best relaxing moments you'll have. Just take the view in and forget everything back home. All your problems n insecurities. You're just there enjoying time 😊
I was 4 when this movie came out. When I watched it changed my little life. I wanted to swim with the fish and do all I could to save the ocean. Now I have a degree in marine biology and I am a licensed dive master.
Haven't watched the movie in a while, but nowadays, it hits real hard. This is a story of a father trying to make the most of what life had for him, up to and including the deaths of his wife and most of his children. It reminds me of my dad who went to great lengths to raise me and my sister properly. He passed away July of the same year this was uploaded. Never call your parents "overbearing" unless they don't have a good reason for it. You don't know what they've seen and been through. You are their legacy; don't throw yourself away.
I remember watching this with my older brother. I’m 20 now but listening to this makes me think back to times before. A time before rent. A time before regret. A time before my brother was gone. Where did time go.
Born in 2004..I'm 16 now and I can't stop crying and just thinking my childhood is gone....at least nemo was always there for me when I was adopted by a family that got divorced....I never really had a family....but nemo was there, so damn happy I'm an early 2000 kid

TLDR: I'm so grateful that this video is a source of peace for so many of you. I made it for my wife when we started dating. She needed a safe space and I wanted to give it to her in a way that it would always be available. Thanks for 1,000,000 views and please remember that gentleness is the balm of mankind.
So... I made this loop for my then girlfriend as a Christmas gift. After it blew up in views, I promised her that if it ever hit 1 million (as if that would ever be possible), I'd post about the story of how we fell in love. Cheesy, I know, but that was the promise. Coincidence of all coincidences, we got married the day this hit 1 million views, so I've gotta make good on that promise. But Ill try to keep it short. To preface, I am a trans man and my wife is cis and bi.
My wife says that the first time she saw me she thought "Wow, they look like home." Unfortunately, we both attended a small hyper-conservative Catholic college. We both had to face our own self hatred for being queer, the social shame of being THE ONLY queer couple, and the prolific disciplinary action enacted on us by the administration and professors. In the face of all this, we realized that this wasn't a fling, we loved each other. But even still, the backlash was too great and we broke up out of fear of being expelled. The night we decided to do this, she just kept playing the track Nemo Egg on repeat and had to go back to her laptop every minute to replay it. I decided then, in the face of young heartbreak, that I was going to make this exact video for her.
Fortunately, we couldn't stay away from each other and got back together. That kicked off YEARS and struggling to find identity outside of our narrow view of faith. We lost all our old friends who shunned us for loving each other. We lost our families who refused to support their kids for being queer. We were written up at the Title IX office for "sexual misconduct" because of an incident where we walked and held hands. So we took our relationship underground. Didn't admit it to even close friends for 3 years. And slowly we started to pick up the small queers who were being run over like we had been. We made a family of those queer people. We found that the narrow view of love given by Catholicism did nothing but hurt our community. When COVID hit, we knew we needed to jump ship because going back to live with our families was not safe. So we took a leap of faith and rented a house with other members of our queer family. From there, my girlfriend and I finally had a safe enough environment to be able to grow in our relationship without fear of backlash. It was a beautiful thing to learn to love each other in peace, when we had spent our whole lives believing (because of Traditional Catholicism) we would never find love or happiness while remaining in our faith community. And on those nights that it was hard, because of faith, the world burning, or just stress, we would listen to this track and remember the home we had found in each other.
My love, you are hardworking, kind, stubborn, filled with wonder, brilliantly smart, and there is no one I admire more. Even if we hadn't met at that wretched place, I know the universe would have brought us together some other time. You are inevitable to me. See how our love has made a safe place 1 Million times over for these good people.
All our love and support,
Israel and Elizabeth

2019 is the year of nostaliga. The year is about to end. Play with them while it's still in theme with the year, before the next blockbuster game comes out. We have now a pause between AAA games, perfect for revisiting the classics.
call them up! it doesnt have to ve minecraft, but go see a movie together or something. I guarantee you they are having the same thoughts as you
@@lilmamagc hah not anymore with the quarantine lmao
I still do, and I’m 19 almost 20😂 YOURE NEVER TOO OLD TO DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY
I do to. The days of coming home from school playing my Dragon Ball Z games on my PS2 after doing my homework and fun memories I had with friends.
Early 2000s.... yup I grew up in the right generation.
I was born in 2003, which was the year this movie came out. This year Finding Nemo will be 17 years old.
I was born in 2004, I'm glad I was born in the 2000s
1996 ! When I was young, my school bring all the ppl to watch this movie ! It was mesmerizing :O !
Born in 2005, boy early 2000s and 10s were the best generations of my life.
I was born in 2005 and I’m just so glad I grew up with this movie you can never get movies as good as this one anymore 😕
I haven’t cried in like 4 months now I’m bawling. Feels so good to get it out, I miss being a kid so much
This song feels like childhood summer in a way that's just unexplainable.

Life will always continue.
It'll go on, no matter what.
We love, we cry, we move on.
We work at our jobs, we see our children grow up and eventually we die.
It's the short time you spent here that counts, it's what you leave behind and how you made people feel.
Find your truth, enjoy life.
Beautiful words
Annie - you’re not living until you find something to die for. I was always told that and never understood what it meant. I do now tho. The relationships we build with our family and friends are so important because that’s how we go on. When you impact someone in such a way that you leave a mark in their heart, you’ll live on forever in that person and them in you. Life is what YOU make of it. So make it beautiful in your image.
I love this so much, thank you
I still remember the theme matched with the scene like PERFECTLY, when the title FINDING NEMO pops out, I remember the exact tune, always gives me teary eyes.
We’re all a little heart broken in one way or another but the most important thing to remember is to just keep swimming because it’s moments like these.. moments where you can genuinely feel the music in your soul.. you can feel it grab you heart and squeeze it as hard as it can.. moments where you read a comment that so perfectly explains the feelings that you hadn’t been able to give words to.. moments where you feel a little less alone. We all need those moments.. they’re far and few between but they make all the heartache worth it
I love you.
I love you too...
Thank you
This is the reason I love the internet.
Thank u
I'm so happy that I got to see Finding Nemo in the theaters during the Summer of 2003 when I was 5. I still watch it a lot to this day. It's definitely one of greatest animated films of the 21st Century, not just that, it's one of best animated films of ALL time.
Same, I was 7 at the time. I will never forget being in awe when I was in the theater.
I wish I got to see it in cinemas, but I was just born that year. I'm 18 now and I remember this movie as my favourite Pixar movie ever. Just watching it over and over on the TV. Life was good.
Yes this was such amazing movie best best Pixar movie to ever be writing in movie history thts for sure made me cry I’m 29 I was like 10 years old when it came out and watching it it was so awesome amazing movie
I agree. My sister and I saw it in IMAX at it's release.
I saw Finding Nemo in theatres when I was 3-4 months old (so it was literally the very first movie I watched), I don't remember it because I was a baby but I had a DVD of it that I would watch religiously as a kid. I turn 20 this year and so will this movie. It's always been my favourite Pixar movie.
This movie was apart of my life when I needed it.
Like most people around me, my dad left. I don’t remember it. But I would always miss him when he wasn’t around. I only got to see him on weekends. I remember watching this movie with him.
Just like Nemo, I was waiting for him to come back and find me.
Child me is still watching, Dad.
*hug*

That made me cry so hard
Okay this just made me teary-eyed 🥺
Im im bed right now, im 18 and school is almost out. Im scared. I will be what I dreamed of. I will. No one believes in me. But I will show the world who I truly am. Im scared of death. Like this song reminds me of a peaceful death. What comes after it? Im scared. Im a lost boy. I dont know where im going. Im just scared of life. I dont know if I can handle it. Will I be with the one? Will i finally hold a hand? Im tired. Good night from Washington
aThere is no need to fear death, little one. Our creator promises to end death and all the things thst cause us pain. (reveiation 21:3,4) Very soon it will happen. Graduation can be scary, but life on the other side isn't so bad. You can't force yourself to grow. It just happens naturally. Just continue being yourself ❤ and dont let anyone stop you from doimg what is right. I'm out here rooting for you.
You’ll be fine my boy! When I was 18 I too was scared of what was and what wasn’t. Each day will go by faster then the next and before you know it you’ll be looking back like that wasn’t so bad. You’ll have many obstacles and challenges, but with that comes reward. Work on being the best version of yourself. Focus on upgrading your software AKA your MIND. The one thing I always thought about while growing up is that I never wanted to struggle in life. That’s kept me always constantly chasing for more and more. Don’t stop grinding, always keep going! Keep your head up.
Finally, someone I can relate too, but I don't try to worry about too much, beside me being 18 doesn't feel that bad. Just enjoy the moment.
nice. from Washington here too, man.
Hey, I’m from BC, just the province above you. I’m turning 19 in 2 months from now, I understand how it feels when people discourage you, even though they say they’re “telling you the truth of reality and helping you out.” I just wanted to say that I’m proud of you for keeping your head up and I appreciate your self-determination to complete your goal. I lack self motivation, like, a LOT. I’ve been working on it for the past year since graduating, and am headed to post-secondary in September. Not quite sure what I want as a career yet, but definitely headed forwards. Best of luck to you.
I was feeling super anxious & depressed, but when I turned on this magical music, my problems went away and I just fell into clouds ☁️
The Simba I fell into the ocean letting it’s calm waters envelope me listening to it’s waves and looking at all the colorful fish and plants seeing the sun reflect through the water
I see comments often on videos of music from the 20s or 50s and they say "dang I grew up in the wrong generation." I always want to reply to those comments with a link to this video. Beautiful music doesn't have a time period. It just changes to bring us something new. I am so grateful I grew up in the early 2000s where the first movies I ever saw were full of life-changing music like this.
I miss my little daughter so much. This song keeps all the good memories we had
I'm so sorry
I feel ya man I’m the youngest in my family and I lost a sister who was the first one born, she wasn’t even a year old. This song helps me create memories I could’ve had with her, I even see her walking the isle with this music playing, it’s heartwarming for sure
I'm 19 and I can't stop listening since I've watched this movie last 2005 until now, it's just making me comfortable and even cried over and over again. 2000 babies are the luckiest generation so far hope we can get through this, life isn't easy but have time for yourself a meditation and looking back from your childhood. Comments here are so overwhelming, take care y'allz love y'all so much.
Sometimes, I close my eyes and just breathe and listen to this song.
The once ragged and tiring breaths slow down to a much calmer one. You lie down still as you feel the slow, consistent pulse through your fingers and chest. Your chest rises and falls with small weight on each one. You can feel the air flowing and the movement of the empty emotion flowing through the air. You are not exactly sure what it is but you feel it. Is it nostalgia? Loneliness? Contentment? You are not sure as you feel so empty but full of emotion at the same time. All you know is that you are there. Not dwelling on the past, not worrying about the future. You are there in the present.
There is still a hint of fear and anxiety luring around the corner-no, a whole crowd of fear and anxiety is ready to jump at you. You’re scared, even terrified. This fear threatens to quicken your heartbeat and ruin the feeling you have right now. But it all soon disappears as you remember the words: “I will never let anything happen to you, Nemo.” Though these words are meant for an imaginary fish on a screen, you can’t help but feel the comfort of the words seep into your skin as you can almost feel the hug surrounding you tightly. You cry a bit both in sadness, loneliness, and happiness. No one ever said that to you. No one ever loved you hard enough to hug you as you cry. To listen to all of your troubles but still be there to comfort you. To encourage and make you smile when you are sad. To not prevent your tears from flowing but to cry with you. To protect you when you feel insecure and scared. No one has ever said that to you.
You cry harder now. You are sad and a bit depressed to be honest. You don’t realize that you are hugging yourself tightly now. But with the final melody of the music, it all of sudden makes sense. It clicks right in. The room stops spinning and you can feel your pulse starting to calm down again. It doesn’t matter if no one has ever said that to you. It doesn’t matter if no one loves you. Because you can. You can love yourself. You can hug yourself when you feel sad. You can cry a long with yourself when you don’t feel so good. You can protect yourself when you are scared. You can say “I love you” to yourself. It doesn’t matter if others don’t believe in you. Only you need to. You can do it. You mean so much. You are important. You are okay. You’ll never let something happen to you. Because you love you.
What once was an obvious fact to ourselves has dulled over and over over centuries of years. Social media, social interactions, everything today causes us to forget the basic fact of our lives. The one thing that must always stand true. Before others can love you, you must love yourself. If you can’t love yourself, how can others love you? You realize that all this time, you hated yourself. You despised every little thing about you. Why are you so fat? Why can’t you be smart as the rest of them? Why are you so rude? Why are you so ugly? Why are you so obsessive? Why are you so you? But you forgot that maybe, no one thinks this except you. Maybe, you believe that others don’t-others can’t love you because you don’t believe you can love yourself.
As the music flows through your ears and into your soul, you learn the most important thing in life. More than what you learn in the prisons you call classrooms. More than what you learn in jobs, colleges, or even life itself. It’s that it’s okay to be okay. You don’t need to feel happy or sad. You don’t need to be perfect or damaged. You don’t need to feel anything at all. You don’t need to be tall or short. Fat or skinny. Pretty or ugly. Smart or dumb. You don’t need to be anything at all. You just gotta be you. And that’s enough. It’s okay to feel empty. It’s okay to feel “fine”. It’s okay to be just “okay”. It’s okay because you are you. Because you love yourself. Because you’ll never let anything happen to you.

I used to watch this non stop on the VCR player when I was a kid. Listening to this just brings me back to being a small kid looking in awe at this film constantly with my little blue blanket on me. It doesn't sound like a lot but thank you so much for putting this on the internet, and bringing me back to those good times, especially when life is getting tougher for me as the days go by. From an university student :)
Brother I used to watch this movie all the time to it made me cry also but it made me feel good that his father was there he was right there for his son from the beginning
OMG ME TOO, AND NO ONE BELIEVED ME WHEN I TOLD THEM FINDING NEMO WAS ON VHS!!
Gohst rider pfp, everything you say is valid and is law.
the VCR player, huh? ;)
I cry every time listening to this song. It makes me miss being a kid. I just want to be able to feel that same feeling. I really miss it. It so different now.
No worries, the future will also have great things to offer.
Dude I’m literally crying over this reason 🥺😭🥺
We have those memories to look back on though. All those mornings waking up with the sunshine beaming through our windows seeming somehow brighter than it is today. The laughs and carefree moments of pure bliss. Times when our only worries were what was happening in the moment, instead of responsibilities. It may be different now, but that childhood is always there for us to remember. For that, I am grateful.
From the age of 5 I’ve always thought this soundtrack to be one of the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Still brings a tear to my eye, even today at the age of 20 🧡

A terrifying feeling that time floats so fast and we all grow up that fast. I am scared of what happens next in this world. Sometimes i wish i could go back in time where i saw the world from a different perspective and just was endless happy.
When i hear this theme i see the sun in the evening, looking right at me as a young boy, being joyful. That just makes me cry, because of sadness but also gratefulness. And it kinda also makes me happy, i don’t know why. It’s a feeling that movies like Toy Story or Kung Fu Panda also give me.
I hope u are all safe, guys.

I got so angry and overwhelmed with my infant then suddenly the scene of Marlon came into my mind of him holding Nemo saying "there there. Daddy's here. Daddys got you." And I realized she's just so tiny like Nemo was in that scene. She's not crying for any other reason than she needs me. Needless to say I cried like a baby, picked her up, and gave her lots of cuddles.
best inner child meditation song
There was a lady a really nice lady who gave us this movie to watch she was so nice and sweet she was a bus driver
This is so nostalgic and wonderful childhood memories right here. Just reminisceing over the years. This song has once made me cry over ar again. The sound of this is just so graceful. Who would know that someone would make video likes. This deserves more vids subsYou speak fro the bottom of my heart.

Thank you, Thomas Newman, for making such beautiful music. Thank you for living your life's purpose.
so nostalgic: the song was initially made to be one of hope bc of the scene, so i can't explain why exactly but I feel so sad listening to it lol
Because as we got older, we have lost that hope we felt years ago and now this song reminds us of that old lost hope, the only thing you can do is make a new hope🥺👍

There will always be Ups and Downs in life. These are challenges we must overcome. It may not be easy or warranted by us, but it is in fact the walk of life. Uphill or downhill, we will find our way through it all. Stay strong.
First heard this song when I was 8, went into labor listening to this song at 26 and gave birth to my first child a few days ago. ❤️
Sometimes I wonder why I’m even here, but then I remember, I was born in 2000. Gifted with an absolute treasure chest of movies to grow up with and reflect on 23 years later. Back when movies taught children lessons in life. *Finding Nemo:* To keep trying no matter how hard things get.
*Kung Fu Panda:* Pursue your dreams.
*UP:* Understand compassion and empathy for others.
*Wall-E:* Integrity is everything. *Ratatouille:* Teamwork makes the dream work.
*Monsters Inc:* Setting aside differences to help others in need. *The Lion King:* Overcoming hard times, to better yourself.
As a kid, you really don’t think much about the movies you watch it’s just funny, and sad, and entertaining. But I see now how much little things like good movies helped develop who I am as a person. Finding Nemo is definitely one of those movies.
I get sever migraines occasionally. Putting this video on in the background is part of my healing routine. You don’t even know how much pain this has saved me. Thank you for your contribution, as small as it may seem.
I'm 18 years old who struggles with depression and suffers with sadness and anger inside. This brings me into tears everytime I hear this, it's really comforting and I am relieved that I grew up with this being apart of my childhood.
I’m 19 and I feel the same way. I struggle with depression and anxiety a lot. It’s especially tough with my mom passing away in October of 2020 but I always find a way through it.
Trust me, you're not alone
I have a firm testimony.
Our Heavenly Father watches over us. Guides and protects us. It may not prevent the trials and heartache we experience but he is there through our entire mortal experience lifting us up and ensuring we have the power to press forward. I know if we come into Christ through prayer we can receive of his hope light and love.
“There, there. Daddy’s gotchu”
Is it not better to face the reality that there is probably no god, than to continue with the illusion that there is

I cry. I just cry when I listen to this, not in sadness, but in stride through hopefulness being a parent someday. Being gay, I'll support my kids 110% always.
If you know how to love, nurture, and be a Role model...gay or not you can! Wish you the best
Anyone else crying, thinking about how barely 10 years ago most of us had no obligations, no responsibilities, no worries..... Not a care in the world. Total and complete bliss and wonder.....
I needed this..... fiancé and I aren’t together anymore and this makes me feel really warm.... sucks being sad and I don’t think it’s cool when people flex it to get attention....
i had this song stuck my head because i found out i had a second brother but...he died when he was in my mom's stomach. I have never been so sad before i was crying for like 45 mins. Right now he may be watching over me and my little brother and it's like he telling me "protect our little brother". So i'll do what ever it takes to protect my little brother and make my other brother in heaven proud and happy.
Oh I am so sorry for your loss of your baby brother 😔😔😔😔😔😔
Rather than "look at what I've lost,"
"look at what I've gone through to get here, today."
2020 anyone
Watched hundreds of times, and I still cried.
Finding Nemo was always a comfort movie for me growing up. i've seen it so many times i could quote the entire thing from heart. this song is engrained in my very soul and always bring me good feelings.
People die, memory fades, life goes on. This song is the only thing in this world that helps me find my inner peace. Keeps the memory fresh of being a kid and being able to remember back to the simpler times when things were easy. Life is really a gift u shud cherish and every moment that comes with it.
My dad and I would watch this all the time together as a kid. It reminds me of summer vacations and beach days with him and my mom. I don't live with them anymore and those days are long gone, but boy do I wish I could go back. I miss those vacations and beach days when it was just us and nothing and no one could hurt me.
Was my grandmas favorite movie. Makes me ball my eyes out every time 😭
Is he okay?
Sorry for your loss sending you my condolences
@@saumd713 thank you
My life wasn't easy growing up as a teenager, but this one of a kind song made me feel like a young kid again! I miss the 2000s so dang much, I would even tell my mom back then to repeatedly watch Finding Nemo because of how good and heartfelt it is. And now, I keep thinking about being a stay at home dad one day and teach my future son about this movie and how connected a father-son relationship can be taking from the perspective of Finding Nemo!
Reminds me of my grandpa who is no longer here. Reminds me of when he use to take me to the beach an watch the tides come in an out or just explore the coast in general. I am blessed
i listen to this to help me fall asleep. thank you
Same with me.
I'm not crying you are. No but for real I love this I can remember when life was simple and I had no worries in the world. I can't wait to see the world again
This is my go-to song when I'm having issues focusing on a hard essay. It's so soothing and nostalgic and completely takes my mind out of my stressful situation and transports me back to when I was a kid watching my favorite movie.
This feels like a good place to pour my heart out so here is goes
I love this so much it feels like an escape. Away from this pandemic away from stress of school or work and let me breath it was so hard to lose my cat she was my best friend and was the only one there for me she licked the tears off my face I would do anything to go and see her she’s alive and okay but I just really miss her
Christmas of 2003 (about 20 years ago) I had been gifted a VHS copy of Finding Nemo and I remember watching the movie for the first time on the same day and seeing this exact scene and being moved to tears by this song. That year was one of the worst years of my life. I was 8 years old. My parents had just divorced months prior to that day. Only a couple days later after Christmas my grandmother passed away. I wish I could go back in time just to hug my 8 year old self and tell her "Things will get better over time."
Thank u disney for giving us the most perfect childhood 🥺❤
Pixar* :)
@@ABoxIsMyHome both of them :)
@@ruqayaahmed952 very true :) just sounds like you’re thanking Disney for making Nemo ☺️
This soundtrack makes me happy on so many levels. It lets me forget all the bad things for a minute.
Makes me really think about the distance parents go for their children
Beautiful. A love that transcends time, space, suffering, and even death
1994 here. I'm still the same as I was back then. We are all children in our hearts. Always remember what Jesus Christ said " Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these ". Save your heart. 💖🙏
This song is so beautiful and captures the essence of the sea and the movie so well. It also brings back so much nostalgia for a better time.
This always makes me feel so calm. It allows me to miss the simplicity of my childhood, all whilst being immersed in it. I remember watching the film 19 years ago at the cinema with my little family, and feeling wrapped up in my Dad's arms in front of the huge screen and blackened surroundings. I was mesmerised. My sister not so much, as she fell asleep - something we continue to joke about to this day.
I live alone now, at 23 years old and 100 miles away as I work towards gaining my career. I come back to this when things seem too tough, too complicated or just a bit lonely. It takes me back to that very day in the cinema; a day that I never knew would mean so much almost 20 years on. I miss my family, and I miss being kid.
1997-2005 are the best years to be born for nostalgia
This brings me back five years. When I was a kid😊😊😊😊. Undoubtedly peaceful
i’m crying right now because i want my mom and dad to be together again. and i want to see my friends that are far away from me like my friend felicity. i miss her a lot we both liked the same things. i also wish that i was 5 again too.

Don't worry, there will be people who care for you even at the the darkest times, even when there isn't anyone around, there are people who want to help you. Don't forget it.
Anyone ever just sit and stare in front of you for an hour long while listening to this?
Me too, i was trying to study (it calms me down too, its good for the stress)
*tho
De MemeJa 2 steps ahead of you
@@julied398 Problem is, I cry whenever I listen to this. The nostalgia gets me every time. So, probably not a good idea to cry while studying. 😅
Thank you,my childhood..see you again😊now I turning 21 years old💓what a beautiful past memory💫
The best thing about it is that this generation will be filled by excellent people who have a passion and have been inspired by the incredible people who have been inspired by other incredible people.
No matter how many mass shootings, wars, and religions.
This world will never run out of passionate people, and I’m one of them, are you?
Anyone here listening to this and thinking about your childhood it's okay to cry ❤️
It was 2004. The movie has been out for a while on VHS and DVD a lady a bus driver lady gave us this movie for the weekend and it still makes me cry through this day.
I wish he made the original 10 minutes long
I’m ugly crying right now 😕 sometimes you gotta listen to the vibes you once knew in your youth. Live your truth. I am a 2001 baby, and this song reminds me of 2007ish or so, and It brings me back to a very cozy moment in life. The simplicity of it all blows my 19 year old brain!!! I love you ❤️
I’m 21 and this music makes me have flashbacks to all my relatives that have passed and the happy times and it helps me calm down during a depressive episode. Thank you Disney
i get endless goose bumps every time i listen to this and i feel like crying. This is just too beautiful
Hearing this again is so bittersweet. It's a sound of reminiscence from my childhood and all those vivid memories replay in my mind once more when everything felt safe and alright.
I love going through old photo albums of my childhood and of my family while listening to this. Always make me cry so hard
I went to egypt last summer. As I watched the barrier and the fishes I immediately played this song in my head. I teared up. Newman created a masterpiece: I can really feel the sea and its life in this song. Now my dream is to go visit the Australian reef, the real place that inspired this song and this movie, and to replay this song in my head as I already did while watching the masterpieces of nature❤
I remember when I was a child my dad played Finding Nemo, I felt that sensation that I was Nemo and my dad was Marlin.
I loved this movie so much. When I was young I watched it over 20 times. I still love it. The characters, the story, the music, the lessons. Everything. I will never forget them.
idk why this has ads now but it makes me mad. i listen to this to fall asleep
Get an AdBlocker.
Same
I know you commented a year ago but skip to the end of the video and then go back to the beginning and the ads will go away
We (Izzy and I) worked to remove the midroll ones, but can't stop youtube from putting ones at the beginning if there are less than 10,000 subs. I'm sorry my dude, it's frustrating for us too.
It’s to make sure that the music is getting credit, so YT adds an ad to support the original creator
Anybody else go back in time? To place where the weight of the world didn’t have place in your mind? Sleep overs at a cousins house? This was a good memory
i am going through a difficult time right now with letting things go in the past. something that impacted me in a wonderful way and had a great memory. it now feels destroyed because of another person who was apart of that memory. and i want to let go of those feelings and it’s hard and it hurts and somewhat feels impossible. so i hope to find the end of this hard journey soon :(
So damn peaceful. I imagine myself swimming in an ocean with an impossible colour. The perfect temperature, and it feels heavenly around you.
I think of it as the final state of all things that is and isn't. Like an "everything came from the sea" type thing but for the multiverse.
Just an ocean of infinite size and a sky of the most pure white. One that just heals you by looking at it.
went to the theatre to see finding nemo for my 6th birthday and remember being emotionally stirred by this song and the corresponding scenes. now I'm a drunk 26 year old crying in nostalgia. l'm just so tired.
This song just reminds me of simpler times. Before i had to worry about getting a job, or college, or becoming an adult. i miss the old days when i was a kid where i had no worries. I always told myself i couldnt wait to grow up. And now i would do anything to go back. Such a calm and easier time stress free.
Oh I just feel the same :(
I relate too much to this comment 😔
@@brandonbriseno9810 keep you’re head up man we’ll all get thru this eventually
You articulated my feelings exactly. My parents gave me the best childhood a kid could ask for, but yet it was also so ephemeral. And as naive children, we have no idea how precious that season of life is until it's passed. Time marches on though, and starting a new chapter in life can be fun. Here's to our young adult years! May our future selves look as fondly back on them, as we're looking back on our childhood right now.
Never mind an hour loop, we need a 24 hour loop!
This song yells 2003, I absolutely love this movie and it's soundtrack.
Dude. I'm sitting at the beach, at night, listening to this. Y'all gotta try it 😊
For sure will
@@babynieve9612 one of the best relaxing moments you'll have. Just take the view in and forget everything back home. All your problems n insecurities. You're just there enjoying time 😊
I was 4 when this movie came out. When I watched it changed my little life. I wanted to swim with the fish and do all I could to save the ocean.
Now I have a degree in marine biology and I am a licensed dive master.
I just wanna say by by watching this reminds me and my dad and having him there when I struggle
Love u dad
27 yrs now and I watch this movie still it sure got me through my life growing up🙏🏽 dame…..life’s a trip
Seeing the scene under sea it's like a welcoming heaven, I cry like a baby just hearing this beautiful tune.
Haven't watched the movie in a while, but nowadays, it hits real hard. This is a story of a father trying to make the most of what life had for him, up to and including the deaths of his wife and most of his children. It reminds me of my dad who went to great lengths to raise me and my sister properly. He passed away July of the same year this was uploaded. Never call your parents "overbearing" unless they don't have a good reason for it. You don't know what they've seen and been through. You are their legacy; don't throw yourself away.
I remember watching this with my older brother. I’m 20 now but listening to this makes me think back to times before. A time before rent. A time before regret. A time before my brother was gone. Where did time go.
I'm 20 in 1990
Born in 2004..I'm 16 now and I can't stop crying and just thinking my childhood is gone....at least nemo was always there for me when I was adopted by a family that got divorced....I never really had a family....but nemo was there, so damn happy I'm an early 2000 kid
