- 🔰This is one of the first poems I've ever read from Bukowski so it made sense to make a video that was more personal to me. The place depicted on my frames is a small village in Greece. Thank you all for the kind messages you send me and I promise you the future of this channel is going to be amazing 💗

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski
your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
Man you're kinda getting me into poetry all by yourself
That's nice man, it's worth it.
@@illneas Oh, Jesus H, illneas!!! I've just watched this again & you've made me cry - you swine! It's so beautiful.
Going through all your material, what has struck me is that, no matter how frankly depressing any line of poetry is, you never resort to clichéd images of grave yards, coffins, cadavers, etc. The stuff of amateurs. You're always looking for signs of life in amongst the Tales of Ordinary Madness 😉. In my very favourite short film, The Crunch, you cut a soaring section of the music quite exquisitely to a particular refrain of "people are just not good to each other", with nothing more than a simple head shot of Will Smith, a few tears rolling down his cheeks. No need for shots of firing squads, or whatever. Those few tears say it all. It is masterful. Perfectly timed. It gets me every time. (Sorry for going on. If I see something exceptional, I call it out!). Looking forward to Invictus. Take care of yourself. Grazie molto x
Thanks once again, I hope you enjoy "Invictus" as much as the previous movies. Cheers
the same
same for me too
"It may not be much light,but it beats the darkness."
Best line
Beautiful
" You can't beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes " y'all feeling it?
Goosebumps mate
I should have that tattooed on my forehead.
Explain
And the more often you do it the more light there will be
That got me
@@toxicvoid0663 when you die you’re dead it’s inevitable but just because we’re “alive” don’t mean we’re living
'Be on the watch, the gods will offer you chances, know them, take them'
Love that line
This is gold. I feel like I finally found the literature I've been missing all my life.
So calming and sensible.
Perfectly put
"Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission... ".... simple but powerful...
The matrix
nothing simple about, pain at the highest volume
After I found your channel and watched some of your Charles Bukowski videos, I went to the library and got 3 of his books! You made me read again, God bless you creating such content❤
That's so nice to hear
@sid g couldn't agree more
this will be the next big channel calling it now
I'm blushing 😊
@@illneas i was expecting at least 500k subs when checking after this video, but one day there will be
Much respect great work MAN! ✊❤️
Bukowski. The name that will never fade. A man of many lifetimes and a voice as old as the richness of wine.
I'm crying, this is so beautiful. The reading, the music, all the editing. I may download it and turn it into MP3 to listen when I'm riding bus. Thank you for creating these amazing videos.
belinda arimbi hello there. It is free advice for those that will listen and do.
Charles Bukowski has been my favorite poet since I was 15 years old. Now, seven years later I find this channel and it brings me to tears. This is so beautiful. Thank you so much.
When people like you find my channel. The time I put in to create these videos becomes worth it, thank you
This channel makes poetry,poetry. My school used to force us to read poetry and i hated it and it was hard and i couldnt understand it but this is something i understand,love,and keep close to my heart.This is peace.this is why poetry exists.
perfect balance between music, speech and the visuals. great work!
This is amazing!!! Sometimes I can't see the light, but, some reason, I know its there.
It beats the darkness, I'm glad you like it.
There more you learn to do it, the more light there will be, and the more the Gods will find delight in you and grant you chances. This will create a content heart and defeat an inevitable death while you're alive. It's beautiful.
Stomio seems like a nice place to visit.
Someone once told me, after listening, that this is what God would tell humanity. Whether you believe in any divinity or not, the thought of it seems beautiful and accurate.
The aesthetic of this video is so beautiful...💙
The best channel recommended by youtube this year.
This means a lot.
Wow, thank you so much. This made me cry and I needed to. The video is so beautifully done and expressive. I also loved your video for Bluebird. I've been feeling the emotions of bluebird for a while now but I'm hoping that soon I'll move towards a laughing heart. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing that with me, it means a lot, I also hope that you find the light that beats the darkness. Cheers ^^
Sophie Revell hello there. Let your bluebird fly free, b yourself and enjoy Life’s little pleasures.
This is as close to going towards the light with boldness and strength to make the change as one can get. Be in the light without darkness. Make that change in your life to do that ❤️
Thank you for making my day better ❤️
Love these Bukowski videos! Keep up the great work!
You've done a marvellous job ! Congrats ! And thank you for Bukowski, for his memory and for the pits of emotion you're bringing along...
Wow thank you man, it really means a lot to me.
illneas … welcome ! But i’m a lady …
@@songsfor7169 I'm truly sorry for this, it's a bad habit to respond this way.
illneas dont worry, Indeed I had fun remenbering a dialogue of Monty Python’s "Holly Graal" :-)
@@songsfor7169 love that movie
You lovely Greek lad, you! I'm 61 and have been muddling my way through a huge loss for over 18 months now. I keep coming back here because the images, combined with Tom O'Bedlam's voice and the background music, are perfect together! I hope we can share a Metaxa together sometime!
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
This man is the David Attenborough of Poetry, that voice just pulls you in.👏🏼
Its not a poem. It's a delicate way of telling you a truth.
Best wishes for your continued success illneas...another stunning video. ❤
Keep doing what you like! Your channel will be huge!
Thank for your words that's really motivating..
I really really really really really love this poems. It fills with hope and strenght. Thank you.
hope and strength cant save a doomed life
I was an avid reader when I was reader, but since 10, I hadn't read a single book. Now, 6 years later, Bukowski touched me because of your videos. I've read "Ham on rye", "Factotum", "Post office" all in a day each, and they all are only increasing my desire to read, and I'm reading other authors too to fulfill this desire. You got me back on literature, you changed my life.
That's so nice, I'm glad you like my videos and that you started reading again...
I know this is old by I hope you check out his poem books as well. The Last Night of the Earth and Mockingbird Wish Me Luck are my two favorites but they are all excellent.
Thanks man. These are all that keep me going sometimes.
It is known that Charles Bokowski sometimes had his readings. Imagine if its had been accompanied by this music (alive) and this videoset on a huge screen and perhaps some light installation it could have been an incredible show and Charles would have been a world superstar
"Be on the watch, the gods will offer you chances, know them, take them."
waiting for it,will make it unreachable, not waiting will kill you
Whoever made this video is a genius!!❤️
I’m crying.
I met a cute girl at work the other day, I havent connected with a girl since I was 16. Anyways she told me she's been listening to poetry lately and suggested it to me. This was in all a pleasant experience
One of Bukowski’s most inspirational poems and one of my favorites.
Thank you for sharing. 💕
My best motivational words I have ever heard in my life
You are wonderful. You are my favorite person to follow on UA-cam. Thank you.
That's so nice of you, I'm blushing. Thank you for watching my work.
I love these so much!! I just wish the words were bigger on the screen to read along
0:57-1:10 is so touching - beautifully in harmony.
I see it as a letter to myself. Thank you for your kind words.
@@illneas Exactly so. Me too.
Hence the watering eyes :-)
You're welcome - and thanks to you.
The best recommendation ever by you tube... loved the voice and the way video has been put👌✨
As usual your stuff is outstanding! Love the music choice
Poetry with good voice and some notes make everything clear again..thanks
the views are so beautiful, but the second time a watched it again with my eyes closed, and i can hear my late grandpa saying those words. it hits me sm rn
Good to see you in the video, mate! I just read your recent post announcement and came to this video. Congratulate your blooming on UA-cam! I support your way of going on UA-cam It feels like you are a comrade meanwhile I get inspiration from your story.
Thank you taking the time to read my thoughts and to watch my videos it really means a lot. I'm really glad that this channel has created a community with such positivity.
« it may not be much light, but it beats the darkness » 1:38
If I could stay up all night seen your videos I would ❤️ (sorry for my bad english, I am brazilian)
Haven't been around UA-cam much nowadays but always glad to see your videos..every video leaving an imprint.✌️
I remember you from the early days, always nice to hear that you continue to like my videos😸🕯️
@@illneas haha...been following you ever since..just exams and all keeping me from it. You are doing really great. All the best✌️😁
@@beatibellicosi3232 Good luck on your exams
@@illneas thanks brother ✌️😉
Finally one that’s not depressing ( referring to Bukowski’s poem, not video, videos are always great )
Yeap Bukowski was positive sometimes, thank you for your kind words as well.
This and Roll The Dice made me cry every time I listened to them last year. I’ve read and listened to a lot of poetry and my grandmother is related to JM Synge who was a close friend/associate of Yeats. Some say he was better than Yeats but he died at 38. Anyway, Bukowski is definitely one of my absolute favourites. Poetry snobs can go to hell - Bukowski’s writing is utterly beautiful. Another favourite, who saved me 25 years ago (during a horrible panic attack) is James Douglas Morrison 😎 Bukowski talked about how you shouldn’t write poetry unless it explodes out of you. It exploded out of Jim ua-cam.com/video/ashTaoGrR2o/v-deo.html
Gosh im so obsessed with your channel I can’t stop watching your videos.
Hahahaha, that's so nice to hear. Thank you for watching my videos.
