It's January 2024 and I still love this video so much! It always brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes 15 years ago. Thank you so much for this!
Look for the one in 2012 -- amazing song and dancing in that one, too. I have the same reaction. I think it's because it highlights common threads of humanity -- music, joy, dancing, and coming together for a moment in time, despite our different backgrounds and cultures. More of this, please, and less hate and anger...
@@SobbleWobble13 do you mean 2:33 ? In Gurgaon, India? This is now my favorite part for some reason. I've been watching on and off since shortly after it came out, though not much in past 10 years, till last week. This will never get old. The music does a lot to make it so great. The UN should beam this out into space so that anyone else in this galaxy/universe knows that we at least CAN be friendly and life-loving, when we actually try. Friendly aliens would probably care a lot more about this than our math skills, etc.
As one of the ppl who participated in this, I have to admit that this was one of most special moment of my life. Every time I see the video, seeing me dance with a happy smile, this brings me back the good old days nostalgia, It was a short moment for each of us, but one of the biggest one for all. Sorry for the bad English. Hope everyone who participated is living their best of life :)
I am so happy for you and of course jealous. What an experience. I am a 51 year old man in Cleveland, Ohio and this video inspired to finally get off my butt and make traveling a priority. I find that this video instills a sense of connectedness for us all.
2024 and I'm back here again. Never has the world (in my 56 years) have we seemed to need this video more than ever. It still brings me to tears this vid. It's like a "Why can't all life be like this all the time?". It also makes me cry because it gives me hope in that at least 95% of us on the planet just want to fart about, dance stupidly and have laughs. Peace to you all. x
Been struggling with anxiety disorder in the last two months. Suddenly remembered this video and it brought tears to my eyes. I’m so ashamed that I ever thought life was meaningless and not worth living
This video made me inspired to travel, now 13 years later 250 000 km, 27 countries later, now I can't hold back my tears when I hear this song. Thanks Matt!
Such videos have power to unite people and Dance has power to let the dancer within is lost in the dance. This is Love spreading as fragrance in the form of compassion. The flower risk being plucked to spread fragrance around.
I'm sure he wants to :( But as you may know MPs on DMZ are not meant to even show facial expression changes. Sad things war brought to the world. Im so glad DMZ is in this video
킹갓.. even the last years ago i was working an in GOP military front line ㅋㅋ.. north korean soldier was sleeping. they are seems like no want fight to us.
@@Serai3 Thank you for replying to my comment. That brought me back to this video, which I havent seen in such a long time and almost forgot about it. I really needed to watch it again, it somehow gave me a bit of hope. Thank you. x
I dont know why but i too tear up everytime i see this. Maybe its the powerful sense of 'togetherness & inclusion' this simple dance demonstrates. Love it
This always makes me cry. I don’t know why. There’s just so much joy in this great big world, and sometimes it’s all just so beautiful it’s like it’s too much for my heart to bear.
Same here. And I think it's because it's a vision of what the world could be if our leaders would stop their endless conflicts. MOST of us would just rather dance together.
One man, one dance, in lands afar, Across the world, beneath one star. With every step, a common beat, In crowded streets or fields of wheat. A twirl of joy, a tap, a sway, A simple move, a shared ballet. No words to speak, no lines divide, Just rhythm pulling us side by side. In a world so torn by hate, despair, This dance reminds us we still care. A moment’s joy, a smile, a chance- We are all one in a simple dance... Thanks Matt. (C) 2024
It's been like 6 years I watched this video the first time. And till today it makes me chill and smile like before. One of the best videos on internet!
My teacher showed me this video when i was in eighth grade AP Human Geography, fall 2008, and it's safe to say you and this video are what sent the travel bug inside of my into overdrive. I've traveled so much since then and want to say thank you for the inspiration!!!
This is the one video I keep coming back to throughout my life. Seeing all of these amazing people come together and dance just fills me with a feeling I never thought possible. It genuinely makes me happy. Thank you to Matt and everyone who took part. I've shared this video with so many people in similar situations to myself just to see them smile.
So much the same. Matt has aged and so have I. I remember watching this in the apartment I shared with my brother a long time ago. It still makes me cry at the sheer beauty and vitality of it.
This video stopped me from taking my own life before. I don't recall exactly what was happening other than I recieved an email from a website saying someone had responded to my post. They had told me suicide was a temporary solution and that so many people would be upset and blame themselves. They said I deserved to be happier and linked this video. I don't know if it was the fact someone cared or the fact that all of these people looked happy. People with much sadder lives. All I can really remember is I was crying and laughing. I talked to my mom about getting help and went into therapy. I just feel the need to share how important this video is to me and what it means.
I think your giving too much credit to the video and not the person who told you not to do a backflip off the empire state building and why would they link this video did matt link you this video if he did then did he tell you where he was where the hell is matt
16 years later and this video still makes me tear up a bit thinking that people are, in their essence, one. Our different cultures make us truly rich and beautiful, but at the end we are just that: one people, one nation, one heart. This is still my favorite video of all time because it makes me think we still have a chance and it worth trying. Thanks, Matt.
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏 We don't know each other and yet we think the same thing. People are all the same, no matter what religion, culture, or color. We are all looking for peace and love in this world.
What a great memory - there I am at 03:49 in the yellow jacket in the center, waving one arm frantically while holding an umbrella with the other :) I also think I was the 1st commenter on this video (since I was eagerly awaiting seeing it), although I'd have to click "Show more" forever to confirm :D
Just look at us. No matter what 'color', 'race' or 'country of origin', we just want to be loving and cheerful, dancing through life in sheer gratitude. So many different faces, yet one and the same smile. So many different places, but one and the same miracle. If we would only learn to share what is shared, and give what is given, this little blue marble could turn into paradise overnight.
Yes,, but it's not a little blue marble..... Earth is Flat and enclosed with a Firmament. That's the truth they (the controllers) don't want you to know. Their fake Globe earth 🌎🌍 is the biggest Lie to control the masses.....they don't want you to know the reality of where you are, who you are and the True Power you have. Seek Truth for Freedom or remain a slave to the Lies!! Blessings 🙏
Anyone else watching in 2022? These are the types of unifying videos we need when the world seems to be in such a dire state. Edit: And for those still watching in 2023 Edit: And for those still watching in 2024
I'm an "old man" and still I cry every time I watch this video. I love to pick out individual dancers from each location - as far as possible given the brevity of each scene. My absolute most favorite has to be the guy in Paris - beard, perhaps corn-row hair, at 3:45. I'd love to meet that dude. :)
This video is beautiful because it brings home the fact that all of us - all humans - are essentially the same deep down. Stripped of surface differences like race, sexuality, religion, nationality, class - all petty differences that mean nothing in the grand scheme of things - we're all fundamentally the same with the same desires and needs. To be safe, to have access to sustenance and shelter, to be appreciated and to be loved and respected and to live our lives on this big rock floating ceaselessly around a big star that we call the Sun without fear of violence or discrimination. That's why this video touches so many people; subconsciously, deep down, everyone recognises these things and the beauty inherent in them; the beauty and wonder of life itself.
No matter how many times I watch this, still goose bumps and tears. My favorite UA-cam video. If this doesn't do something to you, you're not human or, at least, not alive.
I'm from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and i was drawn to this video, see this video put a huge smile on my face, especially seeing all these people being so happy. I was only a child back in 2008 so it makes me wonder where all these individuals are, but it warms my heart that it is moments like this that really unites people. ❤️💓😊☺️
Matt stated his favorite moment in the entire video was 2:33. He took the time to learn something new. A new dance. "The colors, Choreography, it was one of those moments where everything came together perfectly. You can't even tell it was 110 degrees and i was melting into a puddle." One of the greatest videos ever uploaded to UA-cam.
13 years on, and this still makes me smile with joy. I was often in a very dark place mentally when I was younger and watching this video always gave me that bit of strength to keep going. A timeless youtube classic and something that filled me with so much love and hope even in my darkest emotional times...
I remember when I first came across this video. I had nothing and the video had everything I wanted: humanity, community, bonds, unions, colors, smiling will, simplicity, echo, life. I still am grateful I saw it.
15 years later and this is still one of my fav videos of all time this video was magic when it came out still holds up as something special so glad. I saw this before it ever blew up and many years later man I feel old watching this in 2023.
i watch this whenever i need to be reminded of joy, possibilities, and ability to come together (so i watch it A LOT!) thank you, Matt and thank you camera man!
it's 2016 and from time to time when I'm sad or angry or anything I come to UA-cam and watch this video again. 8 years after its release it still warms my heart and lights my mood. thank you.
For so many years, this is my go-to video when I'm down; and my go-to video when I'm up .... and everything in between. It's been shown to countless classes when Happiness is the topic ... and I've had more than one lot of students, try dancing like Matt (in the classroom, I hasten to add).
I always start crying at Gurgaon when they break the rhythm. I would give him and his girlfriend Nobel peace prize. This is the simplest and the most powerful peace message ever.
This will be forever the single most fantastic video on the internet! I cry like a little girl ever time I see it ... It's wonderful! I hope you and Melissa are doing fine, Matt!
I remember three years ago when my teacher showed us this video, today my teacher showed us this in class. So many memories flooded back, back before a pandemic, and a reminder that peace is one thing that everyone wants.
I remember watching this so many years ago ! almost 8 years later, it still gives me the chills. This video is one of the reasons I decided to travel and do what I do today. So powerful and meaningful in so many ways...
I'm having a hard time at the moment, and for some reason, years after discovering it, I remembered this video exists. It's like a warm shower on my soul, the world is a good place. Thank you.
The first time I saw this video 13 years ago it made me feel sooo happy 😊 tears where dropping from my eyes of happiness that I can’t describe, truly just love ❤️. When I’m down I come back to this!! It’s awesome that others feel it too !
To this day, this remains my favorite UA-cam video of all time. The music, the unifying message, the pictures, it’s just perfection. Different cultures should be celebrated and respected. Deep down, most people are good, want freedom & happiness. Appreciate the planet we have. ❤
And today, July 28, 2023, I am so much older and wearing a smile just as wide as so long ago when I first saw this! In today's world we need this; what pure joy!
I commented this video 13 years ago... now at Nov 2024 Im watching it again and Im feelling the amazing good vibes once again!!! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP👏👏👏 !!!! (3:23 Mexico City !!!🤙)
I watched this video and the first one you did when you first uploaded them back in 2006 and 2008. I have not watched them since. But today at work i was somehow reminded of them. Just a tought a memory popped into my head of these videos and thank God it did because these videos are the most beautiful videos on UA-cam. Never ever, EVER delete them... Please Love from Norway❤
I find this video again after more than 10 years since I watched it for the first time. 🙏🏻🙏🏻 😭😭 I was cryiny while watching it again, especially in this harsh time of COVID-19... For dancing like this again, let's promise to each other to stay healthy! Hope to see you soon! #prayfromTaiwan #praytothewholeworld
Literally every time I watch this video, I am reduced to tears; something about this soulful music juxtaposed with the sight of humans just being silly and enjoying themselves across this beautiful planet of ours is so damn powerful. This is how I want the Universe to remember us; these are our best selves.
I remember way back in 2008 being a kid and going through some difficult shit when my Therapist showed me the first Where the Hell is Matt? video. 14 years later and I still turn these on anytime I need a pick me up.
back again to rewatch this masterpeace of beauty that gives you hope, hapiness and a Smile always. in a year with so many conflicts in the world and geopolitical issues.....we need this more than ever. love to all.
14 years later and I’m watching this again! What a way to unite the world!
Agreed. This is an annual view for me. Matt, bring this back!! We need you in the world again.
Same as you here, watching again my favourite video about oneness & connection from 14 years ago 💗
same
Let's make It big again and share it again! We are ohne world. 👍🏻👍🏻
Same
It's January 2024 and I still love this video so much!
It always brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes 15 years ago.
Thank you so much for this!
Me also...just watched it again! 2024
It so great because it is before the social media era started creating a new world
Same here 😊
Look for the one in 2012 -- amazing song and dancing in that one, too. I have the same reaction. I think it's because it highlights common threads of humanity -- music, joy, dancing, and coming together for a moment in time, despite our different backgrounds and cultures. More of this, please, and less hate and anger...
Same here! Crazy to think all the little kids in this video are grown ups now
When You Tube was still authentic, what a classic
Will still be watching it 10, 20 years from now.
A classic indeed. Forgot about this video. Can't believe 10 years have passed.... Still awesome!
2:29 is the iconic dance

@@globalhumanism sorry if I offended you
15 years later these videos saved my life. I'll always watch them.
This is still the most positive video I've seen. Even after 14 years I have tears of joy in my eyes when I watch it.
I agree, beats so much of today’s social media
Me too. I have tears in my eyes.
me too
Every time...
Yes, I cry with joy every time I watch it, no matter how many years have passed. It has a deeply powerful energy. Always. We need more like this

for me is 2006 video.
+Matthew Henry - I absolutely love them all.... nothing brightens my day more than watching one of these vids.
+Matthew Henry siempre que yo lo veo me emociona nose porque sera...
+Matthew Henry I agree with you. Makes me glad to be a human.

Wow! Thanks for sharing your true feelings. Life is hard and close to unbearable, but not so much so that I 11cannot q
You can do it.
Thank you mate.
Hope you are good
The way out, is through. Keep on fighting! 💪
This video made me inspired to travel, now 13 years later 250 000 km, 27 countries later, now I can't hold back my tears when I hear this song. Thanks Matt!
Same here. Traveling since 2005. :) And hopefully soon, after things go back to somewhat "normal".

I'm sure he wants to :(
But as you may know MPs on DMZ are not meant to even show facial expression changes.
Sad things war brought to the world.
Im so glad DMZ is in this video
킹갓.. even the last years ago i was working an in GOP military front line ㅋㅋ.. north korean soldier was sleeping. they are seems like no want fight to us.
He was likely dancing in his head and heart! Peace and good fortune to him!

This will always make me tear up. Almost 10 years later and I am still so emotional about this.

When he's dancing on the rocks and that ocean wave bursts into the air, as if the planet itself was joining the dance! Gets me every time.

All these years later this is still so beautiful. When everyone runs in, when Matt joins in the choreography in India, so many amazing moments
I always dance along with him when he gets to India and does the moves. 😊
@@patriciarossman8653 I always replay this scene several times while watching the video... 2:21 and 2:33 ❤
One man, one dance, in lands afar,
Across the world, beneath one star.
With every step, a common beat,
In crowded streets or fields of wheat.
A twirl of joy, a tap, a sway,
A simple move, a shared ballet.
No words to speak, no lines divide,
Just rhythm pulling us side by side.
In a world so torn by hate, despair,
This dance reminds us we still care.
A moment’s joy, a smile, a chance-
We are all one in a simple dance...
Thanks Matt. (C) 2024
Genius! Thank you!

It's been like 6 years I watched this video the first time. And till today it makes me chill and smile like before.
One of the best videos on internet!
Watch it again with muted sound
And you'll realise the song is 90% the magic
Cainan de Negreiros I watch this once or twice a year, I find the whole video very freaking inspiring.
Diego Benitez Same here too. About once or twice a year I watch it to restore my faith in humanity :)

It brings tears of joy to my eyes each time...awesome!!
Miss travelling so bad.. hope everyone’s ok in this Covid time..

ok..
@@subajinieswaradevan8082 why are you surprised 🤨 there's millions of comments that are from years ago that have no replies
The goosebumps are from the haunting song.

So many different faces, yet one and the same smile. So many different places, but one and the same miracle.

Matt, the world needs you more than anyone before. Please never stop uniting people.
Sixteen years and I still tear up with joy. Thank you, Matt.

sensitive and special. amazing snowflake

No matter how many times I read this, still goose bumps and tears. If this doesn't do something to you, you're not human or, at least, not alive
I'm from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬 and i was drawn to this video, see this video put a huge smile on my face, especially seeing all these people being so happy. I was only a child back in 2008 so it makes me wonder where all these individuals are, but it warms my heart that it is moments like this that really unites people. ❤️💓😊☺️
There's some good in this world, Mr Frodo! And it's worth fighting for!
LOL, the video should include that shot of the dancing hobbits at the Party, with Matt inserted in place of Gandalf!
Where is Matt now 2023? Where the hell is he? I still enjoy this!
Was looking through my oldest liked videos on UA-cam and rediscovered this masterpiece. The world needs more of this again
Matt stated his favorite moment in the entire video was 2:33. He took the time to learn something new. A new dance. "The colors, Choreography, it was one of those moments where everything came together perfectly. You can't even tell it was 110 degrees and i was melting into a puddle." One of the greatest videos ever uploaded to UA-cam.
He also stated that “The world is people. It’d now what we build, it’s us.”
Getting to meet him (twice!) was an absolute treat!
13 years on, and this still makes me smile with joy. I was often in a very dark place mentally when I was younger and watching this video always gave me that bit of strength to keep going. A timeless youtube classic and something that filled me with so much love and hope even in my darkest emotional times...
You described me.
This guy has so many frequent flyer miles that he practically owns every airline on the world now

I remember when I first came across this video. I had nothing and the video had everything I wanted: humanity, community, bonds, unions, colors, smiling will, simplicity, echo, life.
I still am grateful I saw it.
I had watched this video in 2008 and I am still watching it in 2023 . It unifies the world when there is so much unhappiness around . Thanks Matt .
I saw this when it first came out, and rewatch it every couple of years.
15 years later and this is still one of my fav videos of all time this video was magic when it came out still holds up as something special so glad. I saw this before it ever blew up and many years later man I feel old watching this in 2023.
i watch this whenever i need to be reminded of joy, possibilities, and ability to come together (so i watch it A LOT!)
thank you, Matt and thank you camera man!
12 years later i come here and it still tear me up.
I too ;)
Thats an fortnite emote
@X_SHADOW_X you are being so stupid rn but true
@Mi'Kai Edwards cuz this is in the item shop rn! Go get it
This video made a 15 year old me wanna travel the world. Now I'm 30 and I've done it, and I'm keeping on doing it! Thank you Matt!
2022 and still watching it . Feel good video and very therapeutic. Thanks Matt
me too and i am crying like 2008 ... 14 years later,.....and the world is not better
it's 2016 and from time to time when I'm sad or angry or anything I come to UA-cam and watch this video again. 8 years after its release it still warms my heart and lights my mood.
thank you.
For so many years, this is my go-to video when I'm down; and my go-to video when I'm up .... and everything in between. It's been shown to countless classes when Happiness is the topic ... and I've had more than one lot of students, try dancing like Matt (in the classroom, I hasten to add).
This was a video from my childhood. Warching it again feels so nostalgic!
I remember watching this when I was young like 7 8 somewhere around there maybe younger
same
Yeah was in like year 5 during school assembly lol
I always start crying at Gurgaon when they break the rhythm. I would give him and his girlfriend Nobel peace prize. This is the simplest and the most powerful peace message ever.
This will be forever the single most fantastic video on the internet! I cry like a little girl ever time I see it ... It's wonderful!
I hope you and Melissa are doing fine, Matt!
Never, Ever get tired of watching this ... it just makes me happy!
I remember three years ago when my teacher showed us this video, today my teacher showed us this in class. So many memories flooded back, back before a pandemic, and a reminder that peace is one thing that everyone wants.
It's been years and these videos still cheer me up. I hope Matt makes more in the future.
I'm watching this almost a decade later and it's still one of my favorite videos of all time.
watched it in 2009, watching it in 2021, eternal classic
Has it really been 8 years since this was released? Still puts a smile on my face. :)
Keep smiling :) Life is good.
Awkward Geeks it’s 10 now
12 now
This left me smiling from ear to ear!
7 years later :).. if u get a notification from my reply you should watch this video again.
my mum is subbed to you lol
Are you alive ?
I remember watching this so many years ago ! almost 8 years later, it still gives me the chills.
This video is one of the reasons I decided to travel and do what I do today. So powerful and meaningful in so many ways...
I'm having a hard time at the moment, and for some reason, years after discovering it, I remembered this video exists. It's like a warm shower on my soul, the world is a good place. Thank you.
2023... still with tears of joy watching this....❤
Here I am at the end of 2023.. here to watch this video again.. for some reason I come back every year to watch this
makes me cry seeing people all around the world come together enjoying the dance
The first time I saw this video 13 years ago it made me feel sooo happy 😊 tears where dropping from my eyes of happiness that I can’t describe, truly just love ❤️. When I’m down I come back to this!! It’s awesome that others feel it too !
To this day, this remains my favorite UA-cam video of all time. The music, the unifying message, the pictures, it’s just perfection. Different cultures should be celebrated and respected. Deep down, most people are good, want freedom & happiness. Appreciate the planet we have. ❤
Still cry every time I watch this video. We're all more alike than we are different.
Matt's new video in 2023 brought me back here, a trip I will never forget!
So many years ago seeing this and it still makes me cry.
And today, July 28, 2023, I am so much older and wearing a smile just as wide as so long ago when I first saw this! In today's world we need this; what pure joy!
When I need to be reminded of the overall goodness in humanity, I come back here, to Matt's video. I needed that recently. Thank you Matt.
Still here. Still bringing a smile to my face every time.
I commented this video 13 years ago... now at Nov 2024 Im watching it again and Im feelling the amazing good vibes once again!!! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP👏👏👏 !!!! (3:23 Mexico City !!!🤙)
I watched this video and the first one you did when you first uploaded them back in 2006 and 2008. I have not watched them since. But today at work i was somehow reminded of them. Just a tought a memory popped into my head of these videos and thank God it did because these videos are the most beautiful videos on UA-cam. Never ever, EVER delete them... Please
Love from Norway❤
I find this video again after more than 10 years since I watched it for the first time. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
😭😭 I was cryiny while watching it again, especially in this harsh time of COVID-19... For dancing like this again, let's promise to each other to stay healthy! Hope to see you soon!

#praytothewholeworld
Still today, one of the best feel good videos ever done, especially on those complicated times ! THANK YOU !!
１０年前に見て号泣したのを覚えています。そして今も泣いています。最高の動画です。
Rewatching it after so many years because it suddenly came to my mind. I'm glad the video is still here and still am loving it!
Wish I had the opportunity to travel the world and dance :(
One day you will..
I think...
Then why not just do it?
@@blackham7 Because people don't have infinite money, Becca you hoe.
@@madelinebitts2766 probably one of the funniest responses to a comment I've seen on UA-cam.
Matt, I always cry when I watch this video. The music and dancing so deeply touches me, and encourages me. Thank you!
I hate dancing
This was the first UA-cam video I ever saw... time really flies
Literally every time I watch this video, I am reduced to tears; something about this soulful music juxtaposed with the sight of humans just being silly and enjoying themselves across this beautiful planet of ours is so damn powerful. This is how I want the Universe to remember us; these are our best selves.
Anyone else watching 15 years later? This was one of the first vods to inspire me to travel :)
I remember way back in 2008 being a kid and going through some difficult shit when my Therapist showed me the first Where the Hell is Matt? video. 14 years later and I still turn these on anytime I need a pick me up.
back again to rewatch this masterpeace of beauty that gives you hope, hapiness and a Smile always. in a year with so many conflicts in the world and geopolitical issues.....we need this more than ever. love to all.
One of my all-time favorite UA-cam videos. Who‘s still watching in 2022?
The world needs more of this, positive upliftment :) Great to see & most commendable. Peace.
