Dude that simple "This is what it SOUNDS like to see a solar eclipse" is so powerful at reminding us to appreciate the moment. You've got a great mind man.

A friend of mine once said as we were on a camping trip, someone had pulled out a small speaker and was going to play some music, he asked for him to put it away, and he said, "we as a society have lost the ability to enjoy the silence". The rest of the trip, we did just that, went about doing activities and ENJOYED the silence! It was a great trip and helped me to realize that there are times we need to stop and do just that, enjoy the silence! ✌️

[@KillerTacos54]

I’m so so happy I discovered your channel man

[@TubeThings]

I don’t know why, but your videos feel like a warm hug from an old friend. Thanks for the reminder, and keep making cool things!

[@SimonSearching]

Yeah, agreed. It's so great 😌✌🏻

[@WavesNGames]

When I was in school for audio design we'd always say "sound is easy, you just have to listen" Being present really makes you appreciate the world.

[@dj_wilson]

Not only did I hear one yesterday morning while walking the dog, I spotted the little guy. He was alone on a branch, singing his little song. I had a similar nostalgic experience, flooded with memories of playing outside and having fun. I realized in that moment that I can't think of the last time I've heard one of these fellas.

[@Jarevonum2004]

they haven't gone extinct, we just stop listening to our surroundings! music, friends, and the stress of life is what keeps us from sitting down and decompressing life and just listening to mother nature and the life she has given us!

[@sergiosala]

Morning dove is the name of my home street in Ohio :) loved this feeling video! I’m inspired to do the same for my channel

[@debarpitabiswas3522]

At this point all I can say is, THANK YOU. Just thank you for deciding to share. You re fabulous 💜

[@IagoAlmeidaI]

Man, keep going, your vids are sick *films. #makeyoutubegreatagain

[@keshavtanwar]

Now i have camera , i have mobile and others photography equipment im still not able to start making video I spent year learning or watching how to videos , even im doing job as industrial designer in mobile lens making company where we have worked on design for anamorphic lens , filters for cameras and more. I always loved your style of video and feel it gave its so much motivating that i want to start but i feel that might be just fear or lack of confidence that stops me from doing it specially in public places.

[@spencertorok]

really spectacular. i miss my little life growing up in the suburbs with morning doves🥺

[@JavierRomeoNunez]

Watching this video while I’m at Aruba airport on my way to Dominican Republic 🎉

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

My mom feeds all of our local birds in our neighborhood. I can say with confidence, the Mourning Dove is not extinct.

[@hiiimaaaa]

Jake this video was full of feelings, loved it Made me want to make more movies (i dont know how to describe it)

[@TimRunia]

Very nice Jake. Really love your style and all the attention to details in the video. And still love the moustache!

[@ScalesQT]

I hear the morning dove every morning here in Eastern Europe and its kind of cool i guess

[@markoboychuk]

Crucial message we all need to hear in this day me age. Thanks for sharing!

[@flschi_T]

I have 3 pairs of mourning doves at my house, at first I loved them for all the nostagia reasons and I like the sound. But they can go ALL DAY right next to my window and drive me insane sometimes. They're also very clumsy and dumb, idk how they are still alive, they fall off our feeders constantly. They are closely related to pigeons so I now refer to them as "Nostalgia Pigeons"

[@thehumanchris]

I love how you're able to bring a memory from the childhood alive together with all of the VHS footage and the story of the Morning Dove. I think now, more than ever, it's important to what we pay attention to, and I'm very happy that you're using your skills as a filmmaker to communicate the importance of that. Of what we consume. Of being aware of our habits. Really well done Jake. Thank you 🙏

[@manhnguyenedu]

I've found you recently and been watching lots of your videos! Really love your style and vibe! Keep inspiring man!

[@KamiranKarimovi]

I thinked about this in a couple monthes ago, I also payed attention to mourning dove and I remembered my childhood memories, and this video is touched my soul. Thats why I love watching your videos it makes me go back in time and think deeply. Thank you❤

[@fill_]

you are just perfect as always.. and even better ) love from Paris!

[@matthewzagorski1597]

You are so talented! Love this video!

[@Howtogetfluent]

Thanks! I've seen one total solar eclipse so far, in Germany 1999. It was just as amazing as in this video, down to the insects chirping like crazy as the sun went and the birds starting their dawn chorus a few minutes later.

[@prospectpat]

It's a reasonable question, really

[@JennWatson]

I don't know why I cried during the eclipse but the sounds were so amazing in the dark and I felt as one with the crowd and the whole universe! Great video! ❤

[@IanLetarte]

Just heard a mourning dove this morning on my walk. :)

[@matt_brooks-green]

Any day with a JF video is a good day. Best channel on YT. Thanks for sharing

[@difficultdays-2674]

Hi from Morocco 😊

[@JakeFrew]

👋

[@otizum]

❤

[@ConnerJohn]

absolutely incredible. These videos never fail to put a little pep in my step and remind myself to take a deep breath. If you make it back to SoCal I'd love to take you on a skydiving, skateboarding, and wakesurfing adventure as a thank you for making these films

[@maloha]

Such a powerful video!

[@AnthonyGugliotta]

I love the sound of the mourning dove

[@janikmay]

Wow. I am so grateful for short films like this one. There is really nothing like it! To me you are a huge inspiration in the way you make videos like this and as well in the way you look at life. Thank you so much! All the best from germany

[@jakefelzien]

Jake you freaking dog. This one got me BIG TIME

[@litakur]

omg this made me cry... I think life is so, so, so beautiful and so full of so many things, feelings... so full of life, of moments. And we just miss it. We actively choose to miss it by ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION to everything, but to our sourroundings. I'm so sick of automatically thinking about putting my headphones on whenever I have to do something, it's so messed up that we have to be so aware of not being distracted by something nowadays. I remember the times where boredom was just something we had to get used to and we, trying to escape it, tried our best to get ourselves entertained. Now it's backwards. We have to now purposely choose to be bored or else, we will always be with our phones, headphones, thinking about work, studies, but never about the present. The real present. Right this second. Literally right now that you're reading this message. You, right now, are actually distracted. Again. And so am I.

[@timspisar]

Love this so much Jake. I'm constantly trying to work on being more present every day. Thanks for the reminder and amazing film as always

[@11wnm]

Video is so good, but im starting compare my film skills to ur beautiful job. Its should sound kinda "good job, this is dope", but im too much in a struggle inside. Man, gj anyway

[@CreativeRyan]

That orange MusicBed tape cassette is ALMOST as sick as your storytelling skills bro 🖤 massive positive message here, I love this! Bravo Jake!

[@JakeFrew]

Yoo haha thanks Ryan! Appreciate you bro

[@adityansh]

Can anyone tell me what resolution thid video is in?

[@MinimalisTech]

Bro. I heard one the other today too. I swear i almost teared up without knowing why until now.

[@darrengodssonfielding]

EVERY SINGLE TIME you put a little film out, you inspire me! You bring back just a little bit more of my joy for this world, my wonder and yearn to explore more! Thanks Jake. It is deeply appreciated by me and plenty more.

[@seasonofbrad9403]

Your channel has become my absolute favorite channel. Came across your 2019 video and have binged your entire channel history. As a beginner photographer/videographer, your channel has been my biggest inspiration. Keep up the excellent work.

[@Guelmiporai]

powerful message! Im glad I came across this video, Bro! Always keep them videos coming

[@davidsfilmmaking]

Wow so powerful 🙌

[@DavidsLittleWorld]

Great one as always, Jake! 💪👏 Actually, I published my own "The art of noticing" video about month ago, which is kinda related, but obviously your video is five leagues higher than mine haha 😄

[@vishnuchilamakuri6219]

Dude you should post videos frequently because I don’t get the same vibes from anyone which you give me ❤

[@fzanfyaz]

Jake fingers masterclass please!

[@dolwolfianphotography]

Total eclipse can be an event changing life 🤟

[@Q._.Photos]

They haven't gone extinct, I hear one in my backyard quite often. I should record it next time I hear it

[@mubikishore]

BEAUTIFUL JAKE

[@BaileytheIllustrator]

Brilliant video… but can we also just take a second to appreciate that if you close your eyes, the audio is literally a masterpiece in itself ❤️❤️❤️

[@SuzyTurner]

Such a beautiful film...I love listening to the birds, but I never used to. I think it comes with wisdom (age lol).

[@Kwint.]

TLDR: The speaker reminisces about the comforting sound of a mourning dove from their childhood and expresses concern upon hearing that they might be extinct. After researching, they find that mourning doves are abundant, suggesting the speaker simply stopped noticing them. They reflect on how modern distractions can dull our attention to simple pleasures. They emphasize the importance of being mindful and present, while acknowledging the need for balance. The video is supported by Musicbed, a music licensing service that enhances the emotional impact of their content.

[@JonAdamsTech]

Totally agree man, there is sooo much miraculous-ness to everyday mundane life. Solid video dude.

[@DVMotions]

Insane to see how much of a following you've gained since you dedicated all your energy towards the content. Here from sub 20k!

[@TomKaszuba]

With every video you create You never disappoint. Thank you. Very much.

[@JB.media.]

Always delivers. Amazing video.

[@DylaneHurd]

Beautiful work. The audio of the morning dove instantly telported me back to my childhood.

[@WhySteve]

I hate the sound of doves lol. I love the sound of bats though. Anyways, yeah, we're too focused on our digital lives that we kind of completely neglect our real ones. I've been putting my phone down lately and stopped doom scrolling and it actually, it actually does make a difference. Great video by the way!

[@JCDropshot]

FYI, morning dubs are not extinct. They are doing very well. They are the number one game species in North America.

[@JakeFrew]

Yup. You better finish watching the video now...or maybe you weren't paying attention 😂🫶

[@JCDropshot]

@@JakeFrewlmao I commet d this before that part in the video lmao

[@Lofiten42]

I'm here early before this video blows up. Thanks for reminding us, to pay attention.

[@crude420]

How old are you man?

[@AIDVisuals]

Fantastic video! It felt like time stopped for a moment, and I truly enjoyed what I saw on the screen. Thanks, man. Keep it up!

[@ImWesHarris]

Love this 😊

[@thecrewmate2654]

You keep me going man❤

[@filmwithhannes]

My memory from childhood comes from waking up to my dad working from home and starting up the internet and hearing the dial up tone and me rushing to see what he will be doing for the day, the small fridge that he sold Coco Cola cans for R4 or what you know as ZAR or the Rand. Now that same Coco Cola costs about R16. I miss having my music on tape and my movies on video tape and waiting for a movie to start on TV for a week. I miss waiting for my friends at the mall and then going to do something. We all have gotten so wrapped up in our phones that we all miss the things around us. Just for once, sit, look and listen to what is going on around you without thinking about your phone and take a deep breath and be in the moment.

[@takeuchi5760]

The thumbnail is beautiful

[@lukebohemian]

Another amazing, inspiring video. Thanks for the trigger of emotions! 🙌🏼

[@RobMcGarr]

Still the best KZbinr going.

[@JoshyByNature]

I couldn’t stop paying attention to your paper towel roll that’s on “backwards” 😆 great video man!

[@DrewAddis]

The storytelling is incredible. This was well done! Keep it up Jake!

[@SimonSearching]

I can't remember where I followed you from. But this was so beautiful. A well-timed fantastically-shot reminder. Thank You

[@chrischadwick1]

Moved 🔥

[@tomcav]

A KZbin video hasn’t given me goosebumps in awhile, thank you

[@yannickbarth9710]

Hey Jake, your video just popped up on my front page. I am really glad I clicked on it. Great visuals and an even better message. Thanks :)

[@ExpatNatt]

Just when I was wondering what to watch. Perfect timing! Love from Shanghai!❤

[@mirasapiens]

Another phenomenal video from you Jake! 👏🏽And so different from any other solar eclipse video I've seen. There should be more creators like you, who don't just do the stuff every KZbinr does, but make cinematic and inspiring content.

[@KipJackson]

THE LONG JUMP AYYYYYY

[@aqursyy]

Love it jake ❤

[@eyesclosedheadfirst1096]

Only tend to come across your more emotionally led videos and boy do I never regret sitting down and watching. Thanks for the superb film Jake.

[@aShotByFred]

Man I didn't want this video to end❤

[@kayisabedra]

The solar eclipse part gave me goosebumps! Thank you for making this video and for the wonderful reminder! You're always an inspiration.

[@MadeByRealPerson]

Really enjoyed this. I know what its like to feel disconnected from the world around you. For me though, I've always been hyper focused on the sound of birds. My father has a PhD in biology. Despite being focused on phyto-plankton for most of his career, he is an ornithologist at heart. To this day we still go on walks in the woods and he will know every bird that sings. Recently we actually built a passive acoustic monitoring system that listens to birds for us and identifies them using a simple AI system.

[@mishellena]

You’re awesome Jake! Thank you for creating beautiful art, essence for our souls.

[@marcuskoa]

i love your storytelling! you are weaving me and i am just watching & *paying attention*! love ur work jake!

[@baihshr]

idk why but i love your video! such a comfortable video though :))

[@kyleroxasphoto]

Why are you and Schaffer not filming dialed this season bro we miss you guys

[@36T5.fitguy]

Crazy brother , I always love this morning dove singing , it reminds me of my Nani’s place ( grandmother ) back in days in summer I go to visit her and I get to listen to this sound. It’s almost 20 years now, I really don’t go for so long and may be I don’t pay attention in my short trips to Nani’s place.Everything is so chaotic and and we don’t focus and pay attention to things where we are at present.

[@markkut]

This was incredible Jake. Well done. That cut straight to the eclipse with the text on the screen really hit deep.

[@ronaj95]

Thank you for making me feel things. You just got a subscribe. Cant wait for your next

[@CAMAS_7]

The mourning dove reminds me of spending time in a little shack, outside of Fort Collins. Waking up everyday to them

[@howdy_haley]

Did not expect to get teary watching a KZbin video lol. This was really special and beautiful

[@31kaydawg]

Jake, how do you have the same orange cassette tape as Sam Kolder? Do you have easter eggs in your video as well!?! Jk jk I love your videos!
