Great, now I have to walk into work with tears in my eyes 😂

Does anyone else notice anything different about 2006 then today? Look at what they have taken from us. Everything is so expensive. People cannot afford groceries, homes, it’s all falling apart. I miss the America I grew up in. 🙁

Talk about an AMAZING brother (see. That's what you do when you SEE this video {not hear/talk but actually SEE/feel this AMAZING brother/ANGEL HUG/help/save ppl}) 🌏🌎🌍✝️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ so much better than anyone who would judge. ❤ It's different than ppl who judge prior to seeing/feeling someone isn't it? 💛💛💛💛💛

Another good time for this to go viral again. We could all use a good hug.

I miss early youtube.

Election day U.S. 2024. We need a hug today.

Este video siempre alivia el alma

I just participated in a Free Hugs event, in Bath, UK. I feel elated from all the love I received. I hope there will be a few people, sleeping better tonight feeling they are loved, they matter ❤️🙏

Watching again, and I still get that lump in my throat. This was awesome, bring the free hugs campaign back !

The first time I saw this video was on MySpace♡

Speaking for all the homies back days , Dude on blue short was our legend 🤣🫱🏼‍🫲🏾🦦🥹

18 years passed like 🚀🚀😩🥹💔😭

Bruhh i was 9yo or around that back when i was addicted to this video 😂😂💀💀 im 29 now god life is running so fast🦦🥹💀

키스...가장 정열적인 표현. 악수...가장 믿음직한 표현. 허그...가장 사람다운 표현.

end of 2024 and we need it more now than ever

I can't believe this was 18 yrs ago. I saw him in Martin Place and really needed a hug that day but was too shy to go get one. Just seeing his kindness made my day thought 💗

we are all sharing the planet right now just trying to live...pretty cool.

it's 2024 & I still get the same feels I did when I first saw it. Free hugs never get old 🤗

Something as simple as a hug . . . can mean so much. One doctor has mentioned that we need 4 hugs a day in order to keep our mental health!

Yep 2024

18 years now and I still love this video. 2024

I could use a hug

one of the best things EVER!

2024 who's with me???!!!

Anyone watching in 2024?

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.

Sometimes all you need is a good hug to get through the day. A little kindness goes a long way.❤💫

Sept 2024 and I still watch this video from time to time. Hugs to all of you.

I saw someone doing this in New York City on Sept. 11th 2001. He was standing on a 5 gallon bucket.

17 years and it still gets me every time. Never fails.

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".

This is hands down the best video on youtube

Who is here in 2024?!😮❤😂😊 (17 ish years later)

Ive watched this vid 100's of times since its release and its still just as powerful 17 yrs later.

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.

This reminds me of Leo Buscaglia! Author and expert hugger.

Hello from August 2024! I love this band. I was fortunate to see them live way back in the day

LOVE this then and now and forever.

Hope?

17 years ago! Wow! I love this vid.

2026 anyone?

17 yrs later, I still bawl😢❤

2024 anyone?

17 years ago 😢

17 years ago and still crying hahaha

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.
