Ingrid Michaelson - "Afterlife" OFFICIAL VIDEO

[@robertburns9505]

My partner of almost 9 years passed away at the beginning of January this year. We lived together for 3 years and I was blessed to have known him. He was a minister and passed away from neuroblastoma cancer (a cancer that normally only affects children). He was only 42 and struggled with coming out most of his life. He bravely battled with cancer for 6 years. A couple of days after he passed I got up the strength to go back to work (retail) and I heard this song for the first time. It has truly been my anthem for getting through this transition in my life and reassures me that he is still with me every day. Thank you Ingrid for blessing us with this song. Beautiful video too.

[@johnnycarter2283]

Yes but this song is wrong cause we are not the afterlife the afterlife is heaven

[@kellyrobinson3136]

@johnnycarter2283 That depends on an individuals beliefs. Because your belief is different from hers doesn't make this song wrong.

[@cheesyDELISH48]

Ingrid is the kind of person who should be getting recognition. she's amazing

[@VeliaKeys]

+Leslie Tovar yes, too bad she's not well known...

[@isshumav3554]

+Velia Keys it's a shame though! I hear her songs all the time on the radio and on tv. it's like them media acts like she's a ghost with a really beautiful voice

[@sbrazenor2]

+Just_That_ Dude. I think she's an indy artist, which means that there aren't huge companies backing her with tons of money. :-\ And those companies will push the shit out of someone like Miley Cyrus.

[@isshumav3554]

+Just_That_ Dude. yea your right! it's actually better though because she has real fans and morals and principles at the end of the day. I just listen to indie folk and alternative music

[@p33erick9]

+SeanFromPVD thats absolutely not what being indie means man lol. Just because your music is not topping the charts does not mean that the artist is then "indie". Shes just not popular. But yes she is technically signed to an dependent label so she is an indie artist although there are definitely major mainstream labels that would like to sign her but it comes at a cost, she would have to produce a record with one of their producers and they probably decide the final cut of the album

[@Anttonina]

I can't even begin to imagine how amazing this experience must have been. Ingrid has helped me in so many ways throughout my life and I could never thank her enough.

[@PepperaltoidsBlogspot]

I love this too!

[@sarahhuddleston6185]

This is what I call a music video. The world needs more artists- and PEOPLE- like Ingrid out there.

[@jellyrolls2765]

Ingrid made the person who was afraid of looking different look completely different, but the person afraid of disappointing their mom just had their mom come on and be all lovy.

[@posthumorously]

I got emotional immediately. Ahhhhh.

[@MellissaAnndontforgetaboutme]

same here. five seconds in and i was a mess. Then again, it's 3: 42 A.m. and i need sleep. But i agree.

[@christellevision7847]

Me too! The "My daughter can do no wrong" did it for me.

[@aden-lj7wb]

i started crying and my mother was like "what's wrong with you" and i was like HUMANITY'S COMPASSION

[@Its_natalie.kate_here]

Me too

[@MellissaAnndontforgetaboutme]

This is just a beautiful video that's all.

[@KillerJ217]

Ahh! Immediately teared up when the mom was holding her sign. Disappointing my parents is a fear of mine as well.

[@happynothings1]

same reaction :)

[@isabelglindow7939]

Same here!

[@xoxoag]

YES! And when she started to almost cry it made me feel worse!

[@namitaa]

THIS MAKES ME SO INCREDIBLY HAPPY

[@MoonimationsStudios]

this comment is ahead of its time

[@c0mf0rta61ynum6]

My workplace actually played this song on the speakers. I found it really catchy, so I had to find out who performed it. Suddenly I am really curious about what the rest of Ingrid's discography is like.

[@nwyk153]

that coming out guy brought me to tears.

[@phillipkincaid8770]

LGBTQ for the win!

[@ameliemorgenthaler989]

Me too, he was sooo cute😊

[@BlakeHardeman]

These kind of songs will definitely be needed for the next 4 years.

[@KA-zu2hv]

I like when she said 'Living like you're dying isn't living at all.' It just told me I needed to move on with my life, because bad things happen, people die. It also reminded me of something I heard off a TV show (Once Upon a Time I think) adn it said 'Surviving isn't living.' I think if we remember that, we will be happy in life. Love you Ingrid.

[@Amdragfan2]

The same thing was said by Eep when she was vehemently arguing with her father about the life they used to live (Dreanworks: The Croods) "That wasn't living! That was just... not dying. There's a difference!"

[@KA-zu2hv]

[@djberiknl]

Actually it is about where we are. Cause she is literaly singing the truth here but nobody realizes it. We already died and moved on to the afterlife, now working through our shit so we can finally get some rest.

[@hayleyalison9250]

this made me cry!!!! my love for ingrid just grows and grows

[@mikeyross8962]

I'm in tears. Ingrid is a beautiful human and I won't listen to anyone who says otherwise.

[@MrTornado147]

They need to show this at every school every year. I'm sick of seeing people bullied just for being themselves and others being scared because of seeing what some people go through. Love this song and I just may break your repeat button

[@kellyrobinson3136]

Heard she wrote this shortly after losing her mom to cancer and needed something upbeat to remind herself that everything would be ok. Lost my mom to a very long hard year of fighting cancer and can relate. Thank-You, Ingrid and so sorry for your loss. 😢❤

[@karalynnkeller213]

Me too . Losing my Mom was my biggest fear. 2020 i faced that fear because I lost her to cancer. This album takes me back to a simpler time in my life. Thanks for sharing

[@kellyrobinson3136]

@karalynnkeller213 🥺 I'm so sorry for your loss. It leaves a huge void, doesn't it?

[@elvinac8514]

I love these videos, so full of the bright side of the human condition...brings out the touchy feely in me! Thanks Ingrid and crew!

[@jamesnw]

It's a great breath of fresh air from the normal grind of sads songs, broken hearts, me and my problems, bla bla, etc., lol. We need more positive songs about encouragement these days.

[@lucykingmusic9168]

amazing idea, I couldn´t stop smiling and when there were the boy with the coming out and the one who cut the hair, I was so close to cry, it was really emotional, I feel really proud of Ingrid doing such a amazing stuff and especially proud of all the these people.

[@ecrutn7356]

Up until I saw the sign with the kid with the "coming out sign" I was emotionally stable, I lost it when I saw that because it just so reminds me of myself...

I will never get tired of hearing your music Ingrid

Love how uplifting mid 2010s music was. Forget 80s throwbacks, we need mid 2010s throwbacks to become a thing

real they brought up pressing issues while also being fun and not extremely autotuned. a nice balance of both seriousness and fun

What a sense of joy this video brought, I've been feeling kind of lonely recently and it really cheered me up. It must have been great to meet Ingrid in the video.

[@joannelee991]

I don't understand. How does such a beautiful song..not become...known world wide? She deserves this! Yet so few subs, views, and she sings her heart out. Ingrid, you are, a hidden talent. Maybe we fans should ask Simon Cowell to make you famous.. I'm sure he will!

[@groove9tube]

Not only a beautiful song but it’s 4 minutes of free therapy.

[@innocentsavior]

Living like you're dying isn't living at all. This song brings up such mixed emotions. I love love LOVE it. My friend Raechel sent it to me when I needed it most, she passed away a month ago and its like everytime I am sad or missing her..I hear this! Miss you my love!

Don' worry...Ingrid is making off fine on this song on audio play. It's been at heinous levels of overplay since 2014...to the point that if I never hear it again, it would still be too soon. Really not even that good a song to start with.
