Letters to July /// 27 (by Michael Aranda)

[@micahsanjose16]

Favourite guest letter. I could listen to him go on and on forever

[@lucymoon]

The night driving was beautiful. Super interesting.

[@happyanne515]

I love time lapses of road trips, especially when you get to see it slowly grow darker. I miss having the money/time/opportunity to travel as much as I did in previous years. :3

[@yanaifus]

Best one so far, Michael Aranda...just gets it man

[@steakuccino]

This is perhaps my favorite of the 'guest' letters. It reads like a love letter to wanderlust and relationships and community building and things in potentia and optimism. It's inspiring. And that's saying nothing of the absolutely stunning beauty of the film. I love it.

[@carolineblueskies]

Loved the part about wanting to travel to find all those potential relationships vs. How would the relationships you already have be affected by leaving. So so relatable.

[@themodesttriumph]

God, I love Michael's voice.

[@clairechocolate]

Even if it's longer than usual, I've loved it equally or even more than the previous ones. The images of the road do give you a feeling of calmness, and it's true you get to ponder on your life and everything around you while driving long distances.

[@geistundflasche7018]

This was amazing. I mean, everyone knows how great Michael is as a creator but somehow he never fails to astonish me.

[@AlexandriaJohnson23]

This is definitely my favorite guest letter so far. I'm so happy this community was created, it's certainly offered me a new perspective on a month I often glanced over.

[@billygoatideas]

Wow

[@vicofour]

I was gonna write that

[@verb777]

Well, that was ridiculously awesome!

[@insomnicolors]

This was fantastic. It's good to see Michael's GoPro dash footage from the trip to VidCon was well-used.

[@AlexSmithactualmusician]

I've loved every single one of the these Letters so far but I must say, Michael, you are just brilliant. Thank you for making another great addition to this fantastic month

[@KaraFielding]

Oh man, Michael. That dash footage combined with your letter was brilliant. You have such a wonderful speaking voice. Mesmerizing.

[@Taymanator0051]

Wow the clouds move so slowly and smoothly. So beautiful :)

[@TheGiddyElf]

I would like Michael to narrate my life, please.

[@jolienzwama]

Michael's voice is really nice to listen to. I love this.

[@kaatjesupermaatje1]

Woah I love his voice

[@humankaleidoscope4989]

One of my favorites so far!

[@skoox11]

Right when I saw that Michael did this one I knew it'd be my favorite. And it was.

[@modueca]

My favourite letter this year. It was great.

[@OneUpdateataTime]

This was powerful and fantastic. My favourite guest letter thus far.

[@paigepowell5662]

definitely my favourite so far!

[@ceciliaguimaraes8169]

oh my god this one is my favorite now.

[@GervieEbron]

"A great perhaps..." okay... wow. He reminds me of Miles Cavalry from Looking for Alaska by John Green. It's like reading an audio book, man. this is simply amazinggg.

[@GervieEbron]

listening* an audio book. Whoops.

[@jumpincows]

He was definitely referring to John Green when he said "as a friend of mine might say" :)

[@GervieEbron]

jumpincows I kind of had that idea. I still find it pretty cool that this sounds like a John Green novel. :)

[@bookwormgirl000]

i think i'm crying this is such a beautiful video and experiencing it reminded me again why michael aranda is one of my favourite content creators and how amazing this whole project is

[@kalifusch]

mesmerizing.

[@conniebernardin5160]

So mesmerising

[@ck121395]

You're a good film maker, Micheal.

[@StrongImaginationA]

Those were some very beautiful clouds.

[@Notesofcitrus]

Incredible.

[@conorjm11]

Bloody hell Michael... Your stuff always amazes me and thank you Emily for allowing him to put it here!

[@pyneapple]

Thanks for making me think.

[@NylahK]

Michael this is lovely! I like how the windscreen gets progressively dirtier. I hope you DO do more with us arandauts :-)

[@SmileyFacesUnite]

Loved it. Michael is as brilliant as ever.

[@girlwithasong1133]

I love this! And to think I almost missed it when it failed to show in my sub box. :( one of my new favorites. Thank you, Michael.

[@beehoney128]

That was beautiful.

[@carolinebeck3721]

when it got towards the end there at night, it looked so cool!

[@Janne]

I am so impressed with this. Incredibly well crafted, and thought-provoking to boot!

[@angelcollina]

That was lovely! I really enjoyed the introspection... and your voice. Beautiful as always, Michael. Great video :) Emily - Great video series idea! I'm enjoying it.

[@Odjeto]

I have lost the ability to even.....

[@FlaminSmiles]

beautiful video michael! and i did come to hear what you had to say at vidcon, good stuff

[@nerdwithavoice]

VidCon was a lot to think about for viewers, too. Thanks, Michael.

[@thathoopy]

This was beautiful, Michael. Thank you.

[@TeresaMcD]

It was lovely to watch the sky. A bit after returning from my own VidCon journey and then going on my own long and fun road trip. It was fun to meet you at VidCon. I am also enjoying your mass upload of videos as you catch up. Also really nice to hear you reflecting and stretching yourself to be your best self.

[@h0rysheet]

i really love your voice

[@yulinisworking]

What a roadtrip. Loved this!

[@InvisibleGalaxies]

this was so soothing.

[@twentynineducks]

Amazing video, Michael!!

[@itsmekatiep]

Micheal you are amazing!!! Best birthday video ever

[@itsmekatiep]

It was my birthday on the 27. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

[@ImGraceless]

My favorite so far, great job Michael :)

[@lauren2576]

Still the best letter to July.

[@rockferry02]

Brilliant as always, Michael :)

[@rainbowlightchann]

this is amazing and beautiful, I adored watching this and listening to you.

[@lenallyblonde]

Utah!!!

[@SunnyBear]

This was intense and inspiring. Thank you Michael!

[@norkapatriciasandi3195]

Nice video Anton, it is so typical American, those Americans who dare to think beyond the highway. The impression I get is of a depressing infinite highway, the words reflecting dreams of a traveler with no time to breathe the fresh breeze of the ocean, or to admire a park full of flowers, a traveler who continues with what he was impossed to do, either unconciously or not.

[@SunnyBear]

Norka Patricia Sandi It's not my video at all, I'm afraid. It's Michael Aranda's. :) But I agree that it has a very American feel to it, and I think it gives off a slightly romantic vibe.

[@norkapatriciasandi3195]

Yes, he dreams and it is different then the dreamer walking in a contemplative manner, presented in your video song. I thought of that when I saw and listened what the author had to say in the video you shared yesterday.

[@norkapatriciasandi3195]

I see the difference, I do not judge, I am only interested in understanding the way people feel and see things. There are dreams and dreamers, dreams can happen as you drive or as you walk and contemplate the woods or the night.

[@SunnyBear]

Yes, it is two different kinds of dreaming. I would like to go on a roadtrip across the US one day, I think it would provoke the same kind of feelings in me. :)

[@JakeJarvi]

Suuuuper cool.

[@lafleur2396]

i love love love this!!!

[@StickyLabel7]

I love Michael. I love Emily. I love this series. I love introspect made extraspect for our benefit. I love that KZbin gives. 'I love' is a strong phrase, my most beloved in its first meaning, but the influence and power and beauty of thought is my second most beloved. Individual thought is so underestimated, left unpursued by a fast, collective society. Rambled thoughts, sorry. A beautiful video.

[@HazelGiz]

Micheal, this was so good!! :)

[@WispWarbler]

Michael, this is amazing. As always. I sincerely believe that you are someone who is more than trustworthy with the power of the internet, so create on if you wish. :) I wish for you to, as your content is so inspiring.

[@socccergoogle]

Since watching this video I am convinced that Michael should be on welcome to nightvail

[@evilclown4154]

Dear July, Its not over!! You'll be back!!

[@TylerMayMedia]

This is a very good letter. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts.

[@spleenaB]

wow. I'm inspired. this is great. michael you are great. those are the only thoughts I can form after watching that. :D

[@TwinkTwinkle]

Wonderful. :-)

[@ukumayu]

Beautiful. Whats the background music?

[@allylucky13]

that was great, loved it

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

Open road.......open mind.

[@cellogirl0096]

Favorite. Beautiful. Sensical. Best.

[@kelleenbrx6649]

I think you should ask John Green; he does consider himself an expert on conjoined twins

[@listenerlikeyou]

Oh god, I do kinda sound like him.

[@domaiii]

Well... Wow

[@MichaelMMorganm984638]

What CAN we accomplish?

[@16ChocolateHearts]

ANIMAL CARCASSES

[@StickyLabel7]
