This is right at the top of my favorite videos on youtube....so beautiful with this amazing song and showing the humanity shared amongst us all and how much we need to be kind to each other and connect better with each other.

I was there 3000 years ago lol. Was able to watch this when I was doing my internship for a tv network in our country. With my boys at the video editing room while on break Then eventually absorbed after graduating. That was 17 years ago. So much has happened. Damn, so nostalgic.

1:12 .. that man that almost walks by Juan and then just stops and comes in for a hug always moves me. Every single time I see him I feel like he must have really needed it, cause you can tell that he works it out over a millisecond... "Free hugs, pft, what nonsense. Wait, I actually do need a hug".

2024 and something fun happened. I was listening to Sick Puppies' singer lead's new song and I asked my friend he could recognize his voice. I had to send him this beautiful video to remind him of the band.

17 years ago... but this was a real time in my life where I felt a whole lot of emotion for the first time. So much empathy and love out of no where for such a young age. I was like 8 and just bawling my eyes out to this song. Such a great song and concept.

Now what’s popular on KZitem is people being menaces in public. I was 11 years old when I saw the campaign, it has never left me. I’m glad I grew up when I did. I narrowly missed growing up with influences that are on top today..I thank you as much as a person can for being you

I've done this twice in my life. Both times were honestly genuinely life affirming. The amount of random love on the street you felt was just... overwhelming and extremely fulfilling at the same time. The one I remember the best was a little girl of about 6 who was passing with her mom and asked what it all was. I asked if she wanted a hug, and she said yes. I'm a 6 foot 4 guy so I got down on my knee and we hugged. She went on her way but 10 feet down the road, she asked her mom if she could have another. So she came back and hugged me again. Melted my heart truth be told. Sweet girl. It's been years and I still remember.

The free hugs campaign. This video was huge on the internet when it first came out, we would share it all over Myspace, then go to KZitem and sing our hearts out while we watched the world heal a little bit. Love this shit man.

Great video and a sad footnote. Interesting how so little time passed when people hugged on the street like this, to avoiding each other like lepers. "...fear itself."
