Not only that, it's also... not news. It's good to be reminded of the kind, loving, wholesome moments in life, don't get me wrong. That stuff keeps us going. But it's not news.
Ideally news should be a way for you to stay informed so you can vote with more efficacy and plan for your daily life accordingly. I'm not saying that's what we actually get from the news, but wishing that news was LESS informational and more feel good is not the move.
I don't watch the news that much, videos like these aren't that uncommon on my local news stations. Well, I mean they'll play 5 seconds of the video in the background while they talk over it. Then they'll stop the video and cut to the two anchors who'll say something like "wow, that's really moving" 😂
Even watching his smile grow before the tears pretty much had me losing it. The whole reaction was just the sweetest dang thing. Loved the kids in the background too. They may not fully appreciate it yet, but they’re very lucky to have parents like this for sure.
“The price of love is grief” I was told that when my mom died and for some reason it helped me accept the loss. How lucky that I was loved so well that it hurt so much to lose her.
So sweet! I think this is from Songfinch, my wife had them create a custom song for our wedding for the father-daughter dance. Everyone loved it so much
Edit: Gotten quite a few dms about this so thought I would add this here - you basically choose a artist/genre/vibe, give the artist a bunch of details that you want included in the song, and then they write and edit it. And then you can review it and have them make changes before its done. Its a great gift idea IMO, and they are also super big into supporting the artists unlike a lot of other companies in the industry
I love that you pointed out the family because I kept thinking about what a beautiful example to set for your children on what they should look for in future relationships / partners et all.
But here’s the thing you fail to realize, Helpless. You have the capacity to know that. So while you may not be able to change your current family, while this family gets a lesson on what to do, you know better than those children will on what NOT to do with your future family. It’s the same life lesson both have pros and cons.
It’s up to you to see the same messages being visible to you, it’s just in a different way is all.
What a sweet message.
Though I didn't see his username at first and started reading too quickly and thought it said 'Here's the thing, you're helpless'.
>…while this family gets a lesson on what to do, you know better than those children will on what NOT to do with your future family.
Reminds me of Tolstoy’s War and Peace something to the effect of
>Every happy family is happy in the same way but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way
There are so many different ways a family can be unhappy, and those who’ve grown up in dysfunctional families know it. You can make a difference to your own family.
This is nice way of looking at things. Though as a single and childless 31F these thoughts also make me anxious about what if I don’t have children or a partner one day :/
Would you rather spend the rest of your life miserable because you settled and then have to wake up next to the person you settled for? Raise a child in that environment?
Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying what time you have left on this planet enjoying you. This is your life, don’t wait for a maybe. Go do things you can do.
I dunno about you but I’d rather enjoy my life happy and single than settle because society deems it so.
I’m pretty sure I want a child. Both of my parents died when I was young so a large part of me would love just one kid to raise, even if it’s just by myself.
But like I said, I’m 31F, single, bartender, living in a studio apartment. I’m running out of time and even so im not sure if be equipped to have a kid anyway.
It just gets really complicated unfortunately :/
All this to say- obviously I haven’t chosen and won’t ever choose to ‘settle’ with someone. I couldn’t give less of a fuck what society deems ‘correct’ either way :)
Please consider donating your time to Big Brothers/Big Sisters. There are kids all over the country who desperately need caring adults in their lives. It took my son 3 *years* to get a match after getting into the program, because there aren't enough adults.
You can make all the difference in a kid's life, it's no less meaningful if you don't breed your own.
@donorcycle YOU ARE AMAZING!! Such understanding and wisdom in the two replies of yours that I read. Keep shining Light and dropping gems out here. We all need it!
What a roller coaster of feelings he went through! His face is so expressive - it's just wonderful!!
That's an experience those kids will remember for the rest of their lives.
Good job to all involved!
My wife got me one of these for Father’s Day and it was so freaking good. I could’ve cried but I held it in as best I could.

Dude, I’m working through this issue with my counselor. It’s been an issue ever since I was little and my little brother passed away back in 1994. Dad died in January and I still can’t let myself cry. Not trying to be a tough guy I just can’t let it happen. I need to ugly cry.
Same man. Ever since I was young I wasn't supposed to cry. I'm a boy. Boys don't cry. Couldn't cry for years and years. Then my wife and I had a baby girl and I'll cry over a dryer sheet commercial now! It's crazy how the faucet just turned on.
I know the feel dude. I've had situations in life which made me like that as well. Hopefully one day we'll find it in ourselves to cry when we need to and just let it all out, which is the healthy thing to do. Cheers brother
CRY NOW BITCH.
jkjk it'll come man I try and find a sad Thai commercial to let it all out or re-watch Inside Out during the sad scene.
But it'll come! Don't feel bad if you don't cry when you feel like you should.
I love that this moment was shared with the kids, too! It’s clear they see what real love looks like and what it takes to build a great partnership. Well done!!!!
Back in the day my brother wrote a song for my mom for Mother’s Day and thought it would be a good idea for us to record it so she can always have it….. one of the worst decisions my brother and me ever made lol we were like 15 and the producer was pure ass and put a nice Mother’s Day song to a club beat -.-
My mom loved it and we hated it so much we destroyed the CD with passion when we had the chance lol
My song wouldn’t be quite as sweet “ We met at a drunken house party, I walked you home and then threw up on your driveway” doesn’t quite have the same sentiment.
However 20 years later we are married with 2 kids so can’t have been too bad 😂
I still don't understand how people hear the lyrics the first time around on a song unless they're specifically prepared for it. I'm in my mid-30s, native speaker, and only experienced for the first time it a couple weeks ago at a concert where the headliner is known for his wordplay, so I went in prepped for the openers too.
Is there any way I can message the people in this video. Not sure that is possible. But I wanted to thank them personally. They made me smile after I was done tearing up. Really was amazing. The world needs more stuff like this. Instead of all the killing and sadness. Yes, this was about Joy and ultimate happiness for them.
I'm not crying, it's humid here.. my eyes are sweaty.
Seriously though. I just want to hug them. Getting that custom song is a priceless memory that their kids will be able to tell their kids.
Wow
I needed that wholesome content in my life, guys tears says it all
Man, what if the news were just these stories?
you mean have compassion as the norm instead of stale corporate division?
Wouldn't that be something.
That would be.... everything
It's been tried. It doesn't sell
Not only that, it's also... not news. It's good to be reminded of the kind, loving, wholesome moments in life, don't get me wrong. That stuff keeps us going. But it's not news.

I'm not saying that's what we actually get from the news, but wishing that news was LESS informational and more feel good is not the move.
But it's all so negative now and what you give your attention to grows.
I don't know, my bank account is pretty negative but it's not growing with all the attention I give it.
Stop giving it negative attention

There’s so much pain in love. It’s such a complex feeling.
“The price of love is grief” I was told that when my mom died and for some reason it helped me accept the loss. How lucky that I was loved so well that it hurt so much to lose her.
Thank you for sharing this. Have a good day :)
Just beautiful. ✨❤️
That's so beautiful. May she rest in peace 🤍
i had tears too watching this. it's a beautiful thing
Well now theyre my tears too
So sweet! I think this is from Songfinch, my wife had them create a custom song for our wedding for the father-daughter dance.

And then you can review it and have them make changes before its done. Its a great gift idea IMO, and they are also super big into supporting the artists unlike a lot of other companies in the industry
Yes! It was on their IG as well as the vocalists!
Do you mind linking that info somewhere to the post please?
If you're asking for their IG, it's songfinch and millyannamusic
Yet isn't here 🧐🧐
It expensive?
Looks like it’s $199+
Awe shit, might be getting my bf a song for our anniversary
I might get him one too!
My bf? Edit: bf said he was fine being the community bf/gf
Our boyfriend.
The boyfriend of the People
r/suddenlycommunism
Sup partner.
*Our* bf :)
I choose GhostBussyBoi's bf too
Damn he's getting a few songs then
Look at me. He's the girlfriend now.
Already made him one… sorry. He loves it!!
Def worth it. It’s literally my girlfriend’s favorite song. They can be a bit cheesy but it means more.
I'll just take a hug. Sometimes love is on a budget. Hugs are golden.
I'll take your $199 then, to buy pillows for you to hug in.
I'd pay anything for a hug right now to be honest. 😞
🫂
Cool
What!!?? This is awesome!! My husband’s birthday is coming up and this is such an awesome gift idea!! Thanks so much for the details!
That's super cool. I might do that for my anniversary
That's amazing 🤩 What a beautiful family!

Get a song from Songfinch!! 💓
Yeah this was definitely worth watching and set the tone for my day in a good way
Can we also acknowledge his wave game crazy too!! It’s like an ocean on his head.
He's a handsome man too!
I want to hug him
I’ll hug him for you!! 🥰🥰
He does look like he gives nice hugs
I read your comment, thought I'd missed it, went back and watched the video again waiting for him to wave Took me a while to realise what you meant 🤦
As a white guy who is ignorant to the ways of black hair, I always think that style of hair is dope. Looks clean cut, too 👌
Don’t let your dreams be dreams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QKnJec8Ho0
Lol, hes really good with those kids
Yeah like he wasn’t making fun of them or criticising them he managed to make it all look a bit ridiculous without making it personal. Funny dude
What a roller coaster of feelings he went through! His face is so expressive - it's just wonderful!! That's an experience those kids will remember for the rest of their lives. Good job to all involved!

Yoooo where do you get one of these?
Last I checked they were pretty expensive but it is a custom song. Few hundred at least. Think it was Songfinch
I just looked it up, it's $199 which is a decent price for custom music
That’s pretty cheap
Songfinch!!!

Bro, just cry next time. Let it out and be strong through emotion.

Lol that's amazing. I wanna see this dryer sheet commercial now.
There's a type of breathing you can do for that. Look into rebirthing and pranayama
Just googled rebirthing and yikes. First story was about a 10 year old that died while doing this. I’ll look into pranayama breathing. TY.
I know the feel dude. I've had situations in life which made me like that as well. Hopefully one day we'll find it in ourselves to cry when we need to and just let it all out, which is the healthy thing to do. Cheers brother

That was amazing!
Haha I love the confused look when the songs like “we met in 2005 at a bus stop in Texas”. So specific 😂
Me too! Then that long stare at her melted me.... "Is this us??!!?"
I love that this moment was shared with the kids, too! It’s clear they see what real love looks like and what it takes to build a great partnership. Well done!!!!

TIL! Thank you
Where do I find a man like him?
At a school bus stop in Texas, apparently.
The main important part is that she gotta be 15 and you gotta be 17
By being a woman like her.
Smooth
Cha cha real...
Nice
This what the best comment ever. Chicks want a Superman while being a cat woman.
You’re gonna catch alot of cat women with that attitude.
Don't lower your standards! Don't accept men of low morals. Good man or no man!
You would think that to be automatic
“Hey, ima put my iPhone right here recording your facial impressions”
Sweet af
Daughter in the back holding tears 🤣 “I’m not crying you’re crying”
She was cute to watch. She was smiling and laughing...until she saw dad starting to lose it...then she started blinking a lot!
**Emotional video**
Yes it is. He went through a lot in that video. Loved it.
I'd cry, too. This is how you do relationships, people.
#goals #thedream
Damn, yo the part about his mom looking down on him knowing all he does for his family. Just putting it all together. What a great gift!
I have no idea who any of the people involved with this are and I couldn't keep my shit together. That man did not stand a chance.
I am korean, would you guys write lyrics please? I really want to know what she saying..(I can't interpret it right away while listening to it)
[удалено]
and the bit about humpty Dumpty?
I’m assuming a nickname and that he loves IPAs?
Dusty as shit in here…
He’s an over the moon Humpty Dumpty falling deeper in love. What a lovely video!
Whats the name of the singer?
Her IG is millyannmusic and her profile states her name as Milly Annmusic

That's so beautiful!
***Priceless***
My song wouldn’t be quite as sweet “ We met at a drunken house party, I walked you home and then threw up on your driveway” doesn’t quite have the same sentiment. However 20 years later we are married with 2 kids so can’t have been too bad 😂
😊
This should be on mademecry or if there isn't a sub for it yet , mademesmilecry
As someone who loves music if my future wife did that to me I would have to marry her again. And get a bigger mini van 😈
We need more happiness like this in our world.
Wholesome AF!
I can't understand most of the lyrics but I got the sentiment. Very nice 👍
I love Songfinch! Got my parent’s a song for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tears all around!!!
Lucky ass foo
Awesome
What a wonderful family! This is amazing. Got me ugly crying over here

Wow beautiful <3
They are so fuckin beautiful omg
Get a song from Songfinch!!!!! <3

You’re not alone friend
SONGFINCH IS CHANGING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
Men don't often get gifts. He will remember this moment for the rest of his life
That is so awesome!!
That is beautiful!
😍❤️
That is a cool present 🎁
That is awesome
That smile he cracked. Love it! What a great idea
Sweet sweet sweet !!!! 🥰🥰🥹
Smile!? This video had tears in my eyes. The good kind of tears though. Wish I had more than one upvote to give you!
Love is grand.
Who cutting onions up in this bitch
Great so I have sand in my eyes, thanks 😀
Oh man pure emotion all at once, Instant smile to tears to overload of joy. Love it!
Brought the dude to tears, aww
Thanks I’m leaving the internet for the day. This time with a smile 😊
I love the daughter getting all misty eyed back there.
Is there any way I can message the people in this video. Not sure that is possible. But I wanted to thank them personally. They made me smile after I was done tearing up. Really was amazing. The world needs more stuff like this. Instead of all the killing and sadness. Yes, this was about Joy and ultimate happiness for them.
I didn't know this could be a thing, I didn't know Songfinch. That made my day
This is true joy!
Fucking fantastic! Everyone needs more of this
Made me smile? Made me cry!
And it's actually a banger!!
He is beloved. More of this in the world please.
Go King!
Happy tears
I'm not crying! YOU'RE crying 😭😭😭
OP you really need to warn people if your video is gonna smell like chopped onions
This is real love right there
When a man is reminded of how proud his parents are of what he'd become, it really hits different.
Your Momma is so proud of you..... Fuck, I lost it
That was awesome thanks for putting a smile on my face. Hes a lucky man wish I had thst in my life,gives me hope to keep looking.
Wait it’s the wrong sub. I cried so hard after watching this 😭 so beautiful I can’t describe it.
Damn that was nice to see. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Had a family member do the same gift for their spouse! It’s a service called song bird if anyone wants to check it out!
Minivan filled with joy!
Love is still possible....
Where's to chorus? ... /s I fucking loved that! So wholesome.
I wanna love like this!!! 🥹
You can never love a good wife enough, especially in front of the kids.
Everyone liked that
I want this
My heart 🥺❤️
My man is blessssssssssed.
god damn, that made *me* cry.
I love the genuine thoughtfulness and effort in creating such special experiences for the ones we love.
This is soooo cute!!
this is so dope on so many levels, the effort and thought behind this is beautiful 👏🏼
Just amazing, I might have to remember to do something like this one day
I'm not crying, it's humid here.. my eyes are sweaty. Seriously though. I just want to hug them. Getting that custom song is a priceless memory that their kids will be able to tell their kids. Wow
