Just the Way You Are

[@nabicx]

im going to add my name to the list of people who cried to this video great video

[@travisleeratcliff]

Thanks for watching! I'm so glad it was a powerful experience.

[@jonserkspawn7776]

ItsTheNabica Me too

[@Reu-ral_city]

Mee too 😔

[@caoixhe]

Same

[@siliconcitypune]

Me too...

[@ace-of-space]

My calming truthful sage. My first friend I admire that he makes me safe in an unsafe world. It lasts a lifetime. 'What is essential is invisible to the eye" visionary. Ahead of his time. One of a kind. I learned this at 5. 🦉🐱 Simple truth, he had sweetness of heart ❤️ it's him I like.

[@Dephire]

The way he says, "Oh my, this is a noisy world."... So much impact in such a simple sentence. Fred Rogers is one of my biggest icons.

[@dagoth-ursbeekeeper9119]

I think Fred would be so happy to see how much he made us think, even 20 years after his passing.

[@crazyleaf257]

,💖💖 but didn't he did 2 years ago?

[@Levi_Skardsen]

I live in the UK, so this wasn't on TV when I was young. I was raised by abusive parents, and I so wish I had someone like Fred Rogers in my life.

[@mindyteddybear]

Me too. I was abused as a kid and I always wished I could go right through the screen and be with Mr. Rogers. He liked me just the way I was. Fat and ugly and he did not call me a dunce because I failed geometry . I felt he was my only friend. And now during the lock down I find myself watching these shows and find them very comforting. Just visiting my old friend Fred. Going to see how coins are made and singing songs that make me cry and visiting the neighborhood of make believe and not finding it boring at all.

[@crazyleaf257]

😢😢😢💜💜

[@KingHayabusa384]

2020 would have been much easier if he was still around.

[@kilowag]

You made me cry. Thank you for reminding me... that it's okay to cry.

[@riotbreaker3506]

So that's what a living hug looks like, I cried the entire time.

[@breannathompson9094]

This is beautiful. I was born in just 1999 so all I got were reruns and now I have only vague memories of the show. Recently I started watching it again. And I got the same feeling you did, I was fascinated. And it made me cry because he was so pure. I can truly grasp what he was doing and things he says now. And its truly moving.

[@anastacia5947]

Same so I learn what I could and he is so amazing❤

[@LikeStoriesofOld]

Love me some Fred Rogers, great video!

[@travisleeratcliff]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.

[@MariFLYiN]

Thank you💕💕I so needed this today in 2024 💕💕 thank you for the reminder of this wonderfully sweet incredibly smart man that literally calms me and my heart in this insane world, can’t wait to introduce mr. rogers to my daughter🌷

[@jonathan_daar]

You did a great job on this video Lux. I really teared up. Thank you

[@travisleeratcliff]

Thanks for watching Jonathan! I'm so glad it had meaning and emotional weight for you. That alone makes the month of editing it worth it.

[@Dolberggames]

dude...this video...is something spacial, it's been a long time since I have been moved in this way, thank you so much for this. everything that I had to say about Mr.Rogers, you said ten times better than I ever could. thanks

[@Srador]

criminally under viewed and under subscribed channel - keep it up and see you next to nerdwriter and the like

[@travisleeratcliff]

Wow, thanks! That compliment means a lot to me. I appreciate it.

[@kingbrandor237]

The part where Mr Rogers is singing with the kid really got to me. Damn that was beautiful Edit: I typed that as I saw it and at the end where the same kid came on stage later in the video and Fred looked so genuinely happy to see him, I can in fact say that I cried again

[@crazyleaf257]

💙💖💙💙💙💙

[@kazumajay]

I'm replaying this video so many times I lost count

[@that1facester]

What a truly beautiful soul this man was. God bless you, Fred.

[@REALROCKFM]

Bro that ending got me good, bless this man

[@chrisobrien6254]

Wish this man was my therapist!

[@Denzak]

I too had vague memories watching Mr. Rogers on television as a child. I had no idea how profound he was. Thank you for this video. You've exposed me to incredible wisdom I would not have found otherwise.

[@crazyleaf257]

💛💛💛💛💛

[@YungFudd1776]

I've been feeling a bit blue lately, and this video really helps me feel ok. Mr. Rogers in general has helped me! The emphasis on silence and stillness is something we could all use. Thank you!

[@crazyleaf257]

Yesssss

[@TwoWrights]

Why are my cheeks wet? Really good job. Mate, you need to keep making videos. You really do. We all make excuses to not make a new video, but you’re conveying sentiment that the world needs right now. Please keep making them again.

[@Wildstag]

That quote about "what is essential is invisible to the eye" is a famous quote from the book "The Little Prince", though it might be just a coincidence. It is a common sentiment.

[@armorlesscrustacean8445]

The Little Prince was influential for him. So it makes sense he would have that quote framed. Great catch!

[@crazyleaf257]

I saved that quote

[@KambizSayari]

Beautiful

[@jonserkspawn7776]

The World needs him now

[@jamesk6987]

My favorite part was him saying basically forget the numbers be here in the moment and connect 1 to 1 thats what is important. I think that is the worst part of this digital age of smart phones where people disconnect from the real people and things relaruonships around them is profoundly sad.

[@andresotondo1045]

This is amazing, im crying. Thank you.

[@travisleeratcliff]

Wow, I'm so grateful that this had an impact on you. Thank you for watching!

[@andresotondo1045]

Thanks to you.

[@elmirasaparova5985]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@claudiag.9307]

Wonderful video

[@LongLivePutin4ever]

Gen Z is the strongest generation we'll ever have

[@xbrooksx]

I watched this when you posted it and just came back to find it after watching this year's feature doc. I loved the feature doc but you made something extraordinary here. I hope you keep making amazing things.

[@lindsayhickman9604]

I love Mr. Rogers! He, Sesame Street and Barney raised me...Mr. Rogers really taught me how to handle lots of different feelings and events in my life. I love your video. Great job.

[@scottcollins2647]

One of the most touching things I've seen in a long time. Starting to look at Mr. Rodgers with new eyes; as I do Gandhi.

[@crazyleaf257]

Yessssssssss

[@Opunui043]

This video is really lovely, especially the background music encrypting a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood video throughout the video. What are the background songs called?

[@DrMarmalader]

You know what made this video really powerful? The piano and music throughout the video. It really complemented your narration.

[@TurtleGames2]

This was a really fantastic video! Keep up it man, build it and they will come.

[@travisleeratcliff]

Thank you! That means a lot.

[@tylou4479]

Thank you for making this wonderful video

[@travisleeratcliff]

Thank you for watching!

[@silvertv8]

Thank you I’m read a short book of words from Mr rogers and this video you made was perfect, thank you. Have you ever read a book called George Washington Carver the man who overcame came? It would be a awesome if you made a short video about his life

[@AlexandreLemos]

Great video! my eyes welled up at the end

[@bingfan22]

Since you watched the Twitch marathon, I'm sure you noticed that Fred ALWAYS sang 'It's a beautiful day in THIS neighborhood." Not one single time did he EVER sing "THE neighborhood."

[@JoshuaChilton]

Great video. As a storyteller through physical and digital media this was a great video to make me process life and how to connect. Also, I live near Princeton and the bridge at :35. I recognized it immediately.

[@erikaocano]

❤️

[@crazyleaf257]

Yeah the end 🥲❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@gratzi768]

Anyone know the piano music in beginning and end? This was awesome Lux. Thanks for this.

[@travisleeratcliff]

Thanks for watching Michael! That music is by Tristan Barton. It's a piece called "Thoughts in Motion." Here's a link to the soundcloud page: soundcloud.com/tristanbartonmusic/thoughts-in-motion-reworked

[@crazyleaf257]

The beautiful irony that if you focus on one person in the here and now you touch billions

[@fatcabin]

friend.

[@Spyderist]

Good video. Would've appreciated if you had cut the music entirely
