Same. I just came back to this after years. And still love it

[@beewilson7144]

I come back to this video every couple of years. I still love it.

[@KutSchroder]

Appreciate you coming back for it!

[@AntonioMartinez-dc8dx]

Ha. Same here.

[@benakers3932]

7 years , wow. 7 years ago , I was almost 18 , a senior in high school . And I fell in love with this. Such a beautiful interpretation of time and life.

[@nesslucas1891]

"Time grinds even mountains to dust."

[@ellie3115]

For a good few years now, whenever I feel a bit down or just need to come back down from that daft anxious place we all go to this is what I listen to. The amount of tears I’ve shed to it is ridiculous but “just like time - the wind lifts you up” - this video lifts me up

[@ettoryems]

I watched this in 5th grade I’m now in senior year and in this “time” a lot of people need this

[@mso82]

really great poem. It reminds me of something I learned a few years ago, embraced and then forgot; "Someday will never arrive, it will always be in the future. Do It Now!"

[@Murdermittens_]

So good to see South African's taking on Spoken Word!! :d

[@emoterecordcompany]

Lorna Jay Dunning Glad you enjoyed it!

[@flame246848]

That was amazing. I started sobbing because of how much i have wasted, but never did anything about it. This poem has touched me

[@ronkidwell1750]

You never cease to amaze me young man. Well done! You are a man of many talents.

[@emoterecordcompany]

+Michael Chambers Wow, I am honoured - I am really humbled by, and grateful to teachers such as yourself who are including my work in their classrooms. I hope that it could inspire your students to try their hand at writing too! Warm regards, Kurt

[@kurtschroder6232]

Appreciate you coming back to it ❤

[@VibrantRogue]

Beautiful, true, and thoughtful. Many thanks for the reminder that we don't have much to lose because the endings are all the same in death. The only differences are how we choose to live.

[@cristafuentes8413]

This was shown to us by our Lit. Prof. This is a great and wonderful poem. I will never get tired of watching this all over again. Thank you ... I Love it so much.

[@loyalkwame]

I've heard of few of Kurt Schroder's work and I can say I'm a fan of this man, there's a delicate touch to this mans work

[@emoterecordcompany]

+Kelvin Owusu That's an incredible kind thing for you to say, mate. Thanks for the props. Peace. - Kurt

[@loyalkwame]

+Emote Record Company no problem sorry to take up your time but how did Emelia Chamelia come about? really enjoyed that piece that it had me writing something

[@emoterecordcompany]

+Kelvin Owusu Exactly as the story states - I was in a bar in Cape Town a few years ago, and had that interaction with Emelia. To this day, I have never seen or heard from her again. - Kurt

[@loyalkwame]

+Emote Record Company wow, it would be amazing if you somehow see her again. and met more like. if that scenario happened to me, I'd be bombarded with thoughts of this woman, and who she is where she went, what happened, is she alright and so many other thoughts that, it would take a bit of time before I began know how to write. sorry if that makes no sense.

[@loyalkwame]

+Emote Record Company and again thank you for sharing your work :) hope to hear more from you

[@kateanne2494]

Seems like only yesterday that I first watched this video. Where does the time go, honestly? It flies by because, more often than sometimes, we allow it to. God, time goes by so fast. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. Carpe Diem

[@AlexJacobsZA]

Nice man! keep it up!

[@d.j.coonradt1814]

Real

[@ExxtraRice]

This is great. Y'all shoulda held down the auto-exposure lock though, that's why there are wavy lines throughout.

[@alyssaalvarez3807]

Hello Kurt, I first would like to say that I completely love this poem and I think that no one can really describe time as well as you did. I'm a writer, and I've seen many poems but I enjoy this one particularly more than others (shh don't tell anyone I told you). I'm choreographing a dance piece to this poem and I would like to ask your permission to use it. I know writing is precious and I don't know if you would like that. Thank you for your consideration and hope to hear back from you soon 😊

[@KutSchroder]

Hi Alyssa, how did this project go?

[@jonny8pie]

Wow dude let me be the first to comment on the tube :P .. Powerful words brother, never let the words of wisdom stop flowing

[@nicholasleask1167]

[@tommy-lynsadler1771]

[@emoterecordcompany]

It is a piece of music specifically written as an accompaniment for this piece.

[@smlanga7818]

whaaahw

[@nicholasleask1167]

@mario the flickering light in the back is about the biggest thing ...but ye

[@knockoutjohnny11]

The mayfly verse made me realise how I've wasted so much time.

[@ellious1408]

I HAVE TIME FOR YOU

[@zachtamele7356]

Mooi German man

[@Djtejano22]

I would like to purchase this track on mp3 but the links don't work. Anyway I can still buy a copy?

[@emoterecordcompany]

***** And, in doing so, you can make it near impossible for artists like Kurt to make a living out of his art form. Thanks!

[@thelaw6346]

Bad for the artist because they lose more money for their work.

[@emoterecordcompany]

***** But if the artists can't make money off of their work, then it will not be possible for them to afford to make new content.
