I remember when my oncologist said I was cancer free and I played this song. I started to cry really hard of happy and Joy. I thank God for giving me a second chance at life and I was finally free
I think fear is one thing that grips the world too tightly, so people can't let out who they really are inside. Being kind, considerate and genuine is tough in a world where insecurities seem to reign supreme.
I don't usually comment on RUclips, but this song really resonated with me. My friend introduced me to Rudimental years ago, though not this particular song. He sadly passed away in April 2017 due to a drug overdose, a consequence of years of addiction. He often shared how bullying in his youth led him to drugs as a way to escape and find acceptance. I believe he often started to do drugs since the world wasn't as he expected it to be. Yesterday, I skydived for the first time, such an experience. At 29, I've had my own struggles and I have probably drinked more than I should haha, but I feel I'm on the right track. I believe my friend would be proud. It's incredibly liberating to be free from the opinions of others, free from societal expectations, and free from the ghosts of childhood bullies. Love to all, and keep smiling
sorry to hear about your friend, glad you found something which helps to conquer the devils inside all of us, I am the dad of the guy in the video, I know what it means to you and ment to him as well. take care and keep on jumping.
For anyone who's reading this: I know that it's a little hard right now, I think that we're all struggling with how the things are going right now. But trust me, we got this. You've gotten so far, don't let a little downfall stop you from climbing up this far! Hold on.
In the realm of my heart, this song will forever belong to Elina. I met her during a night out in Madrid and I was unaware of what she would spark on me over the course of a scarce bundle of hours and a shared whiskey. I absorbed as much of her life and story as I could. In the end and after attempting to stay in touch with her to no avail, I am now left with this song which will forever be my representation of her. It's what I’ve got left as the picture of her face and the sound of her voice gradually wanes into all of my sunsets. She may never know the things inside me that she healed with her gentle gaze and soul. Here’s to our freedom my dear!
I suffer from acute chronic pain due to spinal cord damage.. however, I exercise every day and try to exceed my limits just to show others that even if horrible things happen, you can still move on. For all those who are fighting out there, I can assure you that not even the worst storm last forever.
To Rudimenal - you saved a life today. I showed this video/song to my friend who is struggling to come out, and it made a difference. He found the strength to come out without shame, and he is still here with us. I was terrified that we'd lose him, but this song/vid made all the difference. He's still here, and surrounded by love. Thank you so much for making this, and giving me a tool to keep my friend around. Much love ❤️
I ve just read some comments here. Our stories are different from each others,but one thing we can be sure is music is so powerful to change our perspective and life philosophy. I believe in that.
I struggle with pretty serious depression at different times due mostly from trauma in my past. I do feel alive when in the mountains though. This video inspires me to live.
I have struggled with depression, being bullied, misunderstood, not accepted, and looking for love in all the wrong places since the day I was born - and it continues on despite being in my 30's. Music has always been my escape, my comfort, and a connection that speaks to my soul. I've heard many songs that seem to be written just for me and my crappy life, but none of them fit 100%, until I heard this song. It's comforting to know that there is someone else out there who feels exactly as I do, regardless of the reasons why, and can articulate it so sincerely, so beautifully that it speaks straight to the hearts and souls of listeners spanning the globe. I seriously listen to this track repeatedly, even though it makes me cry a lot of the time, but it never gets played out.
I come to this video every single moment I feel alone and aimlessly in life. "This world ain't exactly what my heart expected" "See, c'est la vie, maybe something's wrong with me" Those two hit really deep.
Billy Thomas not all about girls bro, life has so much more to it than just girls work earn money travel the world and you’ll soon find someone for you mate god has a plan for everyone ❤️☺️
It hits more than it should.. There's something really beautiful, that even at lonely, dark nights, I find this music an escape through all the bullshit that's happening around, all the memories and wondering if I am the problem, if it was my fault, and if only I could just... " Be free ". Hopefully, you all won't let go, will stay positive and this beautiful song will help you out more the way it helped and still helps till this day. " And maybe there's something wrong with me, but at least I am free, oh.. I am free. " We all are special, just stuck in this one place when our eyes still has to see so much more in life, so keep your hopes up and continue living.
When he spun around in the air, it was as if he achieved the highest level of ascension. I teared up a little bit. Emeli was a good choice for this song.
the probable reason for his turning over was that all the muscles he had to use to keep his arms extended for lift were fatigued. flipping over gave him a few seconds to rest those muscles by bringing different ones into play
You guys are ruining it for me lol. If it had to be for technical reasons, then I would assume he did it to slow himself down. But I still prefer to think of the the mid air flip as something spiritual rather than for technical reasons. The red suit, flying, and overcoming odds all remind me of a phoenix rising from the ashes.
The "oh,c'est la vie, maybe somethings wrong with me " part will forever always hit deep cause like, it makes me feel reassured and comfortable that im not the only one on earth who struggles with fitting in, im not the only one who thinks there's something wrong with themselves for occasionally feeling ostracized. Man what a beautiful song
I remember when I had a very bad anxiety episode that lasted almost 3 months... I felt so hopeless so I prayed to GOD to help me get through it and feel normal again when eventually I manged to see the light at the end of the tunnel this song played in the background brought tears to my eyes... this music has a strong message.. when you feel down you begin to understand it.
richard cranium Clearly you have NO CLUE who God is or anything about Him, He is NOT causing it - He uses Christians to go and DO something about it and to bring hope to the world - WHAT ARE YOU doing to help the starving people? Luckily, God still loves you no matter what you say or do.
DamianLuigi B but if god created everything why would he allow it to happen? and me? i donate, you probably dont think its much compared to your god friend but i am just one man
Job 5:8-16 "But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside. The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night. He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth." Call upon the name of the Lord, give your problems to Him and He will restore your life You can keep on vomiting negativity, I cannot keep it for myself - God is GOOD and He DID bless these people with talent, I am MORE than free to say it on RUclips. Also, I experience how God delivers my prayers, as prayer goes up Blessings come down, to those who BELIEVE. You cannot tell me prayer is meaningless. richard cranium Thomas van Vessem
@@lisadillworth1383 I wish that would actually do some good for me. I feel like my life is a prison, and after any escape or feeling of freedom, I'm dragged back into my mundane existence. I feel it just worsens that crippling feeling of confinement in my life.
@@_soups I've been there. In my physical body, I still am there. I hope one day soon you can allow yourself to realise that ( and this does sound cliches) none of our actions matter in the end. We all die. Don't think of dying as depressing thing, think of it the reason you can do whatever you like. It's not going to matter in 100 years time x Hope that made reasonable sense x
This song has made me travel so much, ive done most of South Africa creating the best memories and now im planning on doing Asia and Europe after that.
I was extremely lucky as I filmed her 2 years ago & the woman sang live & sounded like an angel.She made it look easy which obviously it's not. I was initially surprised of this collaboration.But it's brilliant, video's great and amazing quality! What more do we need? :)
The perfect song for a lone wolf like myself - and it wasn’t by design. I always found it challenging connecting with others beneath a surface level. Maybe something’s wrong me. I travel a lot, and at least I am free 😊.
I have never commented on a you tube video before, but I am drunk and allone in my kitchen and I am crying and remembering few times in my life... So I just want someone outside to hear me. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world because of its impermanence, but that impermanence also makes it the most painful thing. I don't even know what I am saying. I am just tired of crying to no one so I thought I would commented on this perfect song. This song makes me think of simplier, easier times when love was the only real factor in life. The long lost days of real romantic life. I wish the best to every one out there who might read this. I hope things will work out for you ❤️
I first heard this song a few years ago when I was still very lost. Only recently have I found myself and accepted myself for who I am. I am so full of love and I am extremely thankful that I made it this point. This song speaks to me more now than ever. I feel I have finally come home to myself. And I just want to spread all the love I can to anyone reading this! Always remember that you got this, and love always wins! ♥️❤️💜🥰
This song was a decade ago when I was my most lost. Was going to school living on my own. Didn’t know what I wanted in life. I was mostly partying and doing whatever my friends were doing. I guess what I’m trying to say here is. You will find your way. And you will understand someday why you are going through what you’re going through some day. This life’s ups and downs; It’s all designed for you to discover your gifts. Your one of a kind talents in life. You are protected and guided by divine. And nothing is wrong with you. Keep following your heart. That is your compass no matter what others may say or think.
2021 hello, I just want to say not only is this song probably one of the single most things that kept me from suicide 5 years ago. The comment section is nothing but love. I love you all and want to say thank you. The first time I watched this video and heard the song, when he jumps it sent shivers down my whole spine and lifted this huge weight off my shoulder. Till that point I didn’t realize the boy and the guy where the same person but then it hit me! This song speaks a powerful message to all of us and I think that’s what gave me and every single commenter the courage to speak about their problem. Which many of us may not have even mentioned it to close family/ friends. But this song gave all of us a voice it seems like! So here’s a hug to anyone who is reading this and thanks again. Your all fantastic people! Stay happy and healthy
Rudimental is something more than shaking butts. Their clips are always so emotional and when it comes to music, its so powerful and emotional. Why powerful? It always bring a lot of memories and forces to thinking about the future. Music and vocals fit each other so well that I'm getting eargasm. One word: BRILLIANT.
This song helps me get through my depression. Now that I'm a mother dealing with PPD its a whole new meaning with a whole new way of helping me cope. Thank you ❤️❤️
You are right man this song is tooooo much I'm unloved with it, this song deserves more than 999.999.991 viewers. But it only have 2,991,612 that's a shame
I was segregated in my university and forced to be a homeless guy with drugs dependency and sexual trauma, It was 4 years ago, finally I am free... I wanna achieve my dreams travelling abroad, and working day by day...
I wish you all the best, keep your chin up , stay true to yourself and keep your eyes open for the doors that are the best for you to go through🍀. I wish you love on your path and lots of laughters. Good luck.
It's stopped me from ending my life a few times!!!!!! It gives me that feeling of comfort your talking about, also an inspiration, and indescribable will/determination to live like nothing else I've experienced in life. Thankyou.
It's weird that I usually wouldn't like these types of songs but for some reason I seem to really like all Rudimental's songs, they're inspirational and their videos are literally the best music videos I've ever seen.
My grandma died yesterday. This song makes me cry, because in chorus it says "at least I am free, I am free"... Yeah, she is free now... R.I.P grandma, you were like a mother to me. I will never forget you.
+ma1stro™ i feel you... my brother died recently and we have chosen this as one of the songs to be played at his funeral. now he is free! hope things are getting easier for you. kind regards
Thanks man, and condolences for you and your family. I dont want to be meddlesome, but what happened to your brother ? Because my grandma died from septic shock...
I am still jamming this song... It has got me through a lot of empty nights and lonely feelings... I am saying a warm I LOVE YOU to anyone that still listens to this song... C'est la vie
RIP Ludovic Woerth... The cameraman of Jokke Sommer in this video and many other videos! Died in a wingsuit / parachute accident last weekend to those who dont know! :( Makes me sad listening to this and thinking about Ludo...
Rudimental are the only group that not only always have inspiring and amazing video clips accomponied with amazing songs, but actually have the ability to give me chills. The day they release a bad music video - if that day every comes - will be a very very sad day
Was pregnant with my second daughter when this song was released. It always reminds me of that time and she is such a free spirit it's like this song was written for her. She is uniquely herself.
I travelled to Berlin (Lollapalooza) in 2017 to honour the memory of a girl I lost and see Rudimental perform. Free was our favourite song, it gives me so much strength still today! ❤️
For people who didn't get the storyline... When he was younger he got bullied and one day he looked outside his window and looked at this flying bird. he thought the bird is flying for its freedom so he was waiting for one day. When that day came he climbed up a mountain he pretended he was that bird that was flying for its freedom. He was flying away and not thinking about him being bullied. And yeah he did it! 😏 This mad me cry 😓
Benny 1668 Jokke Sommer is not dead saw him in Voss Norway last summer and im Norwegian so we should have got some news off his death here as he is from Norway
All their videos are this good...you can trace the storyline throughout...lining up with the lyrics perfectly. They outdid themselves with this one...it's amazing
5 years ago i watched this masterpiece , today i got my skydiving license and got my shit together comparing where i was at that time . This videoclip is huge inspiration to me, the guy in the video, the kid , its like im seeing my life right infront of me . Thank you for this . ❤🤘📸
My inspiration too. Didn't jump but this is my dream. All in this video happened to me accept the jump and song is what hepend to me in my life. One day i will jump ❤️
This song makes me cry every time I hear it, the lyrics don't exactly fit to the situation. I lost my dad back in 2014, I decided to go out for a drive on a really hot sunny day with the roof down on my car, had the Rudimental album playing loudly (Had just fitted a Focal audio system to take my mind off things) this song started playing and I felt shivers running through me and everything just sank in and I started to grieve.
Sorry for your loss... and thanks for that poetic image of this powerful song emoting through you. "Music is auditory cheesecake, an exquisite confection crafted to tickle the sensitive spots of at least six of our mental faculties" (said Steven Pinker, with whom I do not always agree, but here now much appreciate). Music and grief are strange bedfellows, but lucky humanity is to have both.
A beautiful video and Emeli's voice makes me cry. I lost my mom these days and I remember her with tears in my eyes listening this beautiful song. Thank you rudimental for this moment.
Sorry for your loss 💛 I know grief has no time limit, I know that myself too. I hope live is a little bit easier for you and maybe a little more magical feelings the things we do
I don’t do yoga, never tried Pilates Not many people want me at their parties Tryna find my place, some place, oh I, oh I, oh I And I drink a little more than recommended This world ain’t exactly what my heart expected Tryna find my way someway, oh I, oh I, oh I [Chorus:] See, whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free Yeah, whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me But, hey, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free If you ask the church then I am no believer Spend Sundays asleep I'm just another dreamer Still tryna find my home sweet home, oh I, oh I, oh I And I guess I ain’t too good for money neither I got two left feet, no, I'm no Jackson either Just tryna find my way someway, oh I, oh I, oh I [Chorus:] See, whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free Yeah, whoa, c’est la vie And maybe something’s wrong with me But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free Just tryna find my home sweet home, sweet home, sweet home, sweet home, I drink a little more than recommended 'Cause this ain’t exactly what my heart expected [Chorus:] Whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me But whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free Yeah, whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free. Whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me Whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free Whoa, c’est la vie Maybe something’s wrong with me Whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free.
Without question my favorite video ever, My daughter came running down the stairs one day shouting "dad dad the made a video about you he even looks like you" and it is and he does. strange world.
This song came to me today at the right time. Just days I didnt think my presence mattered, because the enemy wanted to make me believe I am not enough for my kids or my family. I know thats not Gods words over me.
Everything about this fits perfectly. The song, the photography, the acting, the overall concept. Special shoutout to the actor playing the kid, who conveys so much in a few moments of screen time, and without dialogue.
how many times has music saved my life? about 50 times in 2 years 3 months and 4 days. Yes I have counted how log I have been depressed and how many times music saved my life. But I still think of how easy it is to die sometimes.
I've been bullied for the majority of my life. Never understood why and it made me feel like smthn was wrong with me and noone in this world is like me. This song makes me feel a sense of power and helps overcome all the trauma
This song inspires me even to challenge death itself, it gives me a lot of strength, it draws from my interior a force of will that there are no feelings or words, only freedom, imagination, dreams and willpower combined, the three are the instruments. to make a present based on the future that we all dream of. Too bad the song is not Christian, but Christ loves you all, come closer, there is a purpose that I discovered and salvation to win.
the first time i listened this song was at a festival and it hit me. i started crying, from happiness, from sadness, from everything. at that moment i felt free.
Jacqueline sorry to hear that. I hope you find peace. Yes this song and the video have stirred in me stuff that I thought was long gone. Be strong...there is hope.
11 years and soon 71.000.000 have been listening and watching this masterpiece of a music video. I come here once in a while to listen and watch my son flying and read the comments. It's incredible how much real life experiences also for us are in this 4.5 minutes. Congrats to all of you involved. You can be so proud not only for the lyrics and the visual, but most of all the inspiration and help to conquer the pain and the fear for those who suffered from bullies and still do. Maybe one of the most valuable music videos ever. If it only saved one soul but we know there has been many. BTW this should be shown in every classroom around the globe. Kids tell your teachers to show it, maybe the bullies have something to think about. LOVE AND FEEL FREE!!!!
The fact that this song means so much to me that I can feel how calm my soul gets when I listen to it , amazes me. *C'est la Vie *This world ain't exactly what my heart expected !
Such an inspiring song and video. It reminds us that anything is possible until you make it possible. Let us follow our own dreams and don't let society or anything else get in our way to achieving anything we want. Freedom is LIFE. Live life to the fullest!!
i can't stop myself crying when i hear this song. i can't understand why it touches me soo deeply. it feels nice to see that there are >5K comments, soo many of us feeling something alike.
When I was finding myself, this song was my anthem….. I am on the other side of building the life I want and can finally play this song knowing the path I have taken is for me ❤

I hope you are feeling better. Never give in.😊

I come to this video every single moment I feel alone and aimlessly in life.
"This world ain't exactly what my heart expected"
"See, c'est la vie, maybe something's wrong with me"
Those two hit really deep.
Same here.
exactly the same here also...
No girl likes im lonely and depressed
Billy Thomas not all about girls bro, life has so much more to it than just girls work earn money travel the world and you’ll soon find someone for you mate god has a plan for everyone ❤️☺️
It hits more than it should.. There's something really beautiful, that even at lonely, dark nights, I find this music an escape through all the bullshit that's happening around, all the memories and wondering if I am the problem, if it was my fault, and if only I could just... " Be free ".
Hopefully, you all won't let go, will stay positive and this beautiful song will help you out more the way it helped and still helps till this day.
" And maybe there's something wrong with me, but at least I am free, oh.. I am free. "
We all are special, just stuck in this one place when our eyes still has to see so much more in life, so keep your hopes up and continue living.
When he spun around in the air, it was as if he achieved the highest level of ascension. I teared up a little bit. Emeli was a good choice for this song.
the probable reason for his turning over was that all the muscles he had to use to keep his arms extended for lift were fatigued. flipping over gave him a few seconds to rest those muscles by bringing different ones into play
You guys are ruining it for me lol. If it had to be for technical reasons, then I would assume he did it to slow himself down. But I still prefer to think of the the mid air flip as something spiritual rather than for technical reasons. The red suit, flying, and overcoming odds all remind me of a phoenix rising from the ashes.
20jazzfunkgreats Not likely. Turning over backwards increases the drag to help slow down before parachuting otherwise he's going to fast to deploy it
I had to play this at my dad's funeral. Almost two years ago. This song meant so much to him and me. Be 'Free' Razor. Love you mate.
The video clip for this song is so powerful, honestly, it adds so much meaning to the song. It's perfect.
I'm glad :)
The "oh,c'est la vie, maybe somethings wrong with me " part will forever always hit deep cause like, it makes me feel reassured and comfortable that im not the only one on earth who struggles with fitting in, im not the only one who thinks there's something wrong with themselves for occasionally feeling ostracized.
Man what a beautiful song
I remember when I had a very bad anxiety episode that lasted almost 3 months... I felt so hopeless so I prayed to GOD to help me get through it and feel normal again when eventually I manged to see the light at the end of the tunnel this song played in the background brought tears to my eyes...
this music has a strong message.. when you feel down you begin to understand it.
@@inspiredjokes5114 shut the fuck up
So many around the world need this right now 💚😢
Still one of my go-to songs when I'm thinking about this crazy world we live in & to get some good feelings & inspiration to keep fighting it head-on.

Me too 👍❤
Same here 👊🏼
God has blessed these people with such great voices!

Clearly you have NO CLUE who God is or anything about Him, He is NOT causing it - He uses Christians to go and DO something about it and to bring hope to the world - WHAT ARE YOU doing to help the starving people?
Luckily, God still loves you no matter what you say or do.
DamianLuigi B but if god created everything why would he allow it to happen? and me? i donate, you probably dont think its much compared to your god friend but i am just one man
How about both of you shut up and accept eachother's view on faith? Do you believe in God? Yes? Awesome, keep it to your self.
DamianLuigi B Also, praying does not change things.
Job 5:8-16
"But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside. The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety. He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night. He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth."
Call upon the name of the Lord, give your problems to Him and He will restore your life
You can keep on vomiting negativity, I cannot keep it for myself - God is GOOD and He DID bless these people with talent, I am MORE than free to say it on RUclips.
Also, I experience how God delivers my prayers, as prayer goes up Blessings come down, to those who BELIEVE. You cannot tell me prayer is meaningless.
richard cranium Thomas van Vessem
This actually brought a tear to my eye. To be that free,if just for a moment, would be the best thing in the world
You should try motorcycles. It gives me this flying feeling and always helps to break free. Just you know, be reasonable;)
Can I ask how old you are?
Only because I believe that we all can reach a point in life when we at least 'feel' free. X
@@lisadillworth1383 I wish that would actually do some good for me. I feel like my life is a prison, and after any escape or feeling of freedom, I'm dragged back into my mundane existence. I feel it just worsens that crippling feeling of confinement in my life.
@@_soups I've been there. In my physical body, I still am there. I hope one day soon you can allow yourself to realise that ( and this does sound cliches) none of our actions matter in the end. We all die. Don't think of dying as depressing thing, think of it the reason you can do whatever you like. It's not going to matter in 100 years time x
Hope that made reasonable sense x
This song has made me travel so much, ive done most of South Africa creating the best memories and now im planning on doing Asia and Europe after that.
Calm winds and following seas my friend enjoy your travels may your god see you home safe afterwards
Hopefully one day we will all be truly free...
I'll help ya with my forty-five if ya wanna' doll.
I was extremely lucky as I filmed her 2 years ago & the woman sang live & sounded like an angel.She made it look easy which obviously it's not. I was initially surprised of this collaboration.But it's brilliant, video's great and amazing quality! What more do we need? :)
as good today as it was a decade ago!
I LOVE EMELI SANDE WITH A PASSION.
I LOVE RUDIMENTAL WITH A PASSION.
PUT THESE TWO ARTISTS TOGETHER = PERFECTION
omg are we twins?!?!?!
This is such a beautiful song. I really don't understand how people can dislike this.
Same here, this song is stunning beyond comprehension. So much hope for those seeking bliss away from insecurity and negativity.
The perfect song for a lone wolf like myself - and it wasn’t by design. I always found it challenging connecting with others beneath a surface level. Maybe something’s wrong me. I travel a lot, and at least I am free 😊.
Nothing is wrong with you, just a Free Spirit type of person so, keep enjoying your Life as much as you can without paying a "social opinion tax" 😉
It's 2022 but this song always warms my heart
It's beautiful ❤️
Always😑😑❤️❤️🥲😥
It's inspiring, to just run in the rain as far and fast as I can and forget about everything else weighing me down.
"Maybe somethings wrong with me, but atleast I am free"...

I have never commented on a you tube video before, but I am drunk and allone in my kitchen and I am crying and remembering few times in my life... So I just want someone outside to hear me. Love is the most beautiful thing in the world because of its impermanence, but that impermanence also makes it the most painful thing. I don't even know what I am saying. I am just tired of crying to no one so I thought I would commented on this perfect song. This song makes me think of simplier, easier times when love was the only real factor in life. The long lost days of real romantic life. I wish the best to every one out there who might read this. I hope things will work out for you ❤️
I hear you my friend. Love is everything. Even when you have nothing. Love yourself and the universe will love you back.
Hope you are smiling now while listening. :)
Also drinking and crying when I found your comment😅
I hope things ended up working out for you❤
How was the hangover next day?
❤️
beautiful!
Dude..i have seen you comment a lot!...Go EDM district!
Hey 7clouds, would you like to check out my original music? ruclips.net/video/kmI9dchQr9c/видео.html that would mean much, thank you :))
A great song to hear ATM considering what the world is going thru....
I first heard this song a few years ago when I was still very lost. Only recently have I found myself and accepted myself for who I am. I am so full of love and I am extremely thankful that I made it this point. This song speaks to me more now than ever. I feel I have finally come home to myself. And I just want to spread all the love I can to anyone reading this! Always remember that you got this, and love always wins! ♥️❤️💜🥰
those are beautiful words ❤
Emeli Sande's voice was amazing. Truly and utterly amazing. It surged into my mind and now it will never leave, because it's so brilliant.
Another Rudimental's song that has resulted with shivers running right through my body! Love it.
I thought that was just me. Hearing the same thing happened to you + another 20 peoples gives me yet another shiver.
I only knew "Waiting All Night" by Rudimental, it's not bad but not my cup of tea exactly either... and this one... just blew my mind.
same here
This song was a decade ago when I was my most lost. Was going to school living on my own. Didn’t know what I wanted in life. I was mostly partying and doing whatever my friends were doing.
I guess what I’m trying to say here is.
You will find your way. And you will understand someday why you are going through what you’re going through some day. This life’s ups and downs; It’s all designed for you to discover your gifts. Your one of a kind talents in life.
You are protected and guided by divine.
And nothing is wrong with you.
Keep following your heart.
That is your compass no matter what others may say or think.
2021 hello, I just want to say not only is this song probably one of the single most things that kept me from suicide 5 years ago. The comment section is nothing but love. I love you all and want to say thank you. The first time I watched this video and heard the song, when he jumps it sent shivers down my whole spine and lifted this huge weight off my shoulder. Till that point I didn’t realize the boy and the guy where the same person but then it hit me! This song speaks a powerful message to all of us and I think that’s what gave me and every single commenter the courage to speak about their problem. Which many of us may not have even mentioned it to close family/ friends. But this song gave all of us a voice it seems like! So here’s a hug to anyone who is reading this and thanks again. Your all fantastic people! Stay happy and healthy
Sometimes you find hope in the most unlikely of places. I'm glad it showed you there is light at the end of the tunnel
.
Rudimental is something more than shaking butts. Their clips are always so emotional and when it comes to music, its so powerful and emotional. Why powerful? It always bring a lot of memories and forces to thinking about the future. Music and vocals fit each other so well that I'm getting eargasm. One word: BRILLIANT.
This song helps me get through my depression. Now that I'm a mother dealing with PPD its a whole new meaning with a whole new way of helping me cope. Thank you ❤️❤️
Remember its okay to seek help we are stronger together.
To me this song is about having the bravery to pursue what you are made for and finding ways to find beauty in that journey no matter the difficulty.
This song really rings true to me. Fingers crossed I can soon be free..
I just don't understand how anyone can dislike this?
shut up umar!
***** dont start argueing, relax close your eyes and let your mind travel
why r u being hard
RinTheHorse1 stop
You are right man this song is tooooo much I'm unloved with it, this song deserves more than 999.999.991 viewers. But it only have 2,991,612 that's a shame
I was segregated in my university and forced to be a homeless guy with drugs dependency and sexual trauma, It was 4 years ago, finally I am free... I wanna achieve my dreams travelling abroad, and working day by day...
I wish you all the best, keep your chin up , stay true to yourself and keep your eyes open for the doors that are the best for you to go through🍀. I wish you love on your path and lots of laughters. Good luck.
Happy for you that you finally are free! I wish you the best man. Enjoy life
This is why humanity matter. Made respect.
This song gives me a type of comfort that I can’t describe….
I can't help but sing along,,, every time I hear this song,,,,love it so much ,,
Keeps me grounded but happy to face the day with a lot more self happy-go-lucky attitude,,gives me a skip in my step ,,free,
YES! THIS. Happy Christmas.
@@tracylittle8411i
It's stopped me from ending my life a few times!!!!!! It gives me that feeling of comfort your talking about, also an inspiration, and indescribable will/determination to live like nothing else I've experienced in life.
Thankyou.
music is what feelings sound like :)
Absolutely 💯
It's weird that I usually wouldn't like these types of songs but for some reason I seem to really like all Rudimental's songs, they're inspirational and their videos are literally the best music videos I've ever seen.
The same here xD
omg i feel ya bro,,,,,,not literally but,,ya know
So true I feel the same, their videos are powerful and encouraging.
My grandma died yesterday. This song makes me cry, because in chorus it says "at least I am free, I am free"...
Yeah, she is free now...
R.I.P grandma, you were like a mother to me. I will never forget you.
sorry for y
+ma1stro™ i feel you... my brother died recently and we have chosen this as one of the songs to be played at his funeral. now he is free! hope things are getting easier for you. kind regards
Thanks man, and condolences for you and your family. I dont want to be meddlesome, but what happened to your brother ? Because my grandma died from septic shock...
he took his own life and we are all totally gutted.
Oh my god... i'm really sorry for your loss
I am still jamming this song... It has got me through a lot of empty nights and lonely feelings... I am saying a warm I LOVE YOU to anyone that still listens to this song... C'est la vie
Hey there, would you like to check out my original music? ruclips.net/video/kmI9dchQr9c/видео.html that would mean much, thank you :))
RIP Ludovic Woerth... The cameraman of Jokke Sommer in this video and many other videos! Died in a wingsuit / parachute accident last weekend to those who dont know! :( Makes me sad listening to this and thinking about Ludo...
Now you can say he can finally fly free just like the birds. What he always dreamt of!
Rest in peace Ludo. You and Jokke's adventures have been a genuine inspiration and always brought a smile to my face.
He lived his life to the fullest there's nothing better than that
Rudimental are the only group that not only always have inspiring and amazing video clips accomponied with amazing songs, but actually have the ability to give me chills. The day they release a bad music video - if that day every comes - will be a very very sad day
Was pregnant with my second daughter when this song was released. It always reminds me of that time and she is such a free spirit it's like this song was written for her. She is uniquely herself.
I travelled to Berlin (Lollapalooza) in 2017 to honour the memory of a girl I lost and see Rudimental perform. Free was our favourite song, it gives me so much strength still today! ❤️
3:00 - 4:15
That is freedom. ♥
That 'right
EVERYONE that has gone through hard times in their lives and got through it can relate to this song, absolute masterclass!!
For people who didn't get the storyline...
When he was younger he got bullied and one day he looked outside his window and looked at this flying bird. he thought the bird is flying for its freedom so he was waiting for one day. When that day came he climbed up a mountain he pretended he was that bird that was flying for its freedom. He was flying away and not thinking about him being bullied. And yeah he did it! 😏
This mad me cry 😓
Too bad the jumpsuit guy died in real life
Benny 1668 I don't think he's dead yet.
TheEpikCrafters he is im talking bout sommer
Benny 1668 Jokke Sommer is not dead saw him in Voss Norway last summer and im Norwegian so
we should have got some news off his death here as he is from Norway
+Benny 1668 he is alive.
I really loved this song a lot when i was younger.
Now l'm depressed and remembered this song. it make me feel better thank you..
hope it'll get better and you'll be finally free.. just remember that you are an amazing human being and you deserve happiness ♥
Same here, take care
All their videos are this good...you can trace the storyline throughout...lining up with the lyrics perfectly. They outdid themselves with this one...it's amazing
5 years ago i watched this masterpiece , today i got my skydiving license and got my shit together comparing where i was at that time .
This videoclip is huge inspiration to me, the guy in the video, the kid , its like im seeing my life right infront of me .
Thank you for this . ❤🤘📸
Congratulations on getting your license. Skydiving isn't for everyone but for people like us it becomes a way of life.
Blue Skies my friend !!!!!!
@@natahliasmith9533 🤘🤘
My inspiration too. Didn't jump but this is my dream. All in this video happened to me accept the jump and song is what hepend to me in my life. One day i will jump ❤️
So true
Hey Nouiri, would you like to check out my original music? ruclips.net/video/kmI9dchQr9c/видео.html that would mean much, thank you :))
This song makes me cry every time I hear it, the lyrics don't exactly fit to the situation.
I lost my dad back in 2014, I decided to go out for a drive on a really hot sunny day with the roof down on my car, had the Rudimental album playing loudly (Had just fitted a Focal audio system to take my mind off things) this song started playing and I felt shivers running through me and everything just sank in and I started to grieve.
mynamejeff
Sorry for your loss... and thanks for that poetic image of this powerful song emoting through you.
"Music is auditory cheesecake, an exquisite confection crafted to tickle the sensitive spots of at least six of our mental faculties" (said Steven Pinker, with whom I do not always agree, but here now much appreciate).
Music and grief are strange bedfellows, but lucky humanity is to have both.
hope you're doing alright x
Very sorry for your loss. Hope you alright
Sorry for your loss bro
Thinking of you, Curtiss. This was our song. I love you so much. Oh, at least you are free.
A beautiful video and Emeli's voice makes me cry. I lost my mom these days and I remember her with tears in my eyes listening this beautiful song. Thank you rudimental for this moment.
Sorry for your loss 💛 I know grief has no time limit, I know that myself too. I hope live is a little bit easier for you and maybe a little more magical feelings the things we do
It's 2023 and this song is still in my playlist ❤
Why wouldn't it be?
In mine too

I don’t do yoga, never tried Pilates
Not many people want me at their parties
Tryna find my place, some place, oh I, oh I, oh I
And I drink a little more than recommended
This world ain’t exactly what my heart expected
Tryna find my way someway, oh I, oh I, oh I
[Chorus:]
See, whoa, c’est la vie
Maybe something’s wrong with me
But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free
Yeah, whoa, c’est la vie
Maybe something’s wrong with me
But, hey, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free
If you ask the church then I am no believer
Spend Sundays asleep I'm just another dreamer
Still tryna find my home sweet home, oh I, oh I, oh I
And I guess I ain’t too good for money neither
I got two left feet, no, I'm no Jackson either
Just tryna find my way someway, oh I, oh I, oh I

See, whoa, c’est la vie
Maybe something’s wrong with me
But, whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free
Yeah, whoa, c’est la vie

Whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, I am free.
thanks for the lyrics
You mad the sad song I was going to cry
Katelyn Elem that can be a very good thing and uplifting....just like these lyrics set against the video-graphic story being told.....strong shit, eh?
+R. R. Rubin c’est la vie? i thought it was "Say you love me." lol
+R. R. Rubin didnt even realized the lyrics ... thank you so so much . This just changed my opinion on this song
This boy is hero!
Did he cure cancer I dont think so
Without question my favorite video ever, My daughter came running down the stairs one day shouting "dad dad the made a video about you he even looks like you" and it is and he does. strange world.
This song came to me today at the right time. Just days I didnt think my presence mattered, because the enemy wanted to make me believe I am not enough for my kids or my family. I know thats not Gods words over me.
''At at least I am free'' So beautiful song :') this music really can talk to your soul
:')
Still listening to this amazing song in 2024 ❤❤ and the video is beautiful!
Everything about this fits perfectly. The song, the photography, the acting, the overall concept. Special shoutout to the actor playing the kid, who conveys so much in a few moments of screen time, and without dialogue.
@Gia Pacella Just had a quick google n didn't see anything...
how many times has music saved my life? about 50 times in 2 years 3 months and 4 days. Yes I have counted how log I have been depressed and how many times music saved my life. But I still think of how easy it is to die sometimes.
Her voice over DnB, R&B or Pop is amazing, and the lyrics are powerful to say the least, everything about this video was spot on, well done.
I Love the message in Rudeimentals songs. Very Positive.
omg, the ending brought tears to my eyes. I don't want know if it was real or not, it was real enough for me. Amazing
I've been bullied for the majority of my life. Never understood why and it made me feel like smthn was wrong with me and noone in this world is like me. This song makes me feel a sense of power and helps overcome all the trauma
Fuck bullies...IT'S GOOD IT BE DIFFERENT...take care...........❤...
@@itsme....4956 thank you❤️
One of the best songs and music videos that I have ever seen. This touched my soul..
This song inspires me even to challenge death itself, it gives me a lot of strength, it draws from my interior a force of will that there are no feelings or words, only freedom, imagination, dreams and willpower combined, the three are the instruments. to make a present based on the future that we all dream of.
Too bad the song is not Christian, but Christ loves you all, come closer, there is a purpose that I discovered and salvation to win.
I Love You, Be Careful
It is a challenge
the first time i listened this song was at a festival and it hit me. i started crying, from happiness, from sadness, from everything. at that moment i felt free.
Lol your trapped in society. You'll never escape

11 years and soon 71.000.000 have been listening and watching this masterpiece of a music video. I come here once in a while to listen and watch my son flying and read the comments. It's incredible how much real life experiences also for us are in this 4.5 minutes. Congrats to all of you involved. You can be so proud not only for the lyrics and the visual, but most of all the inspiration and help to conquer the pain and the fear for those who suffered from bullies and still do. Maybe one of the most valuable music videos ever. If it only saved one soul but we know there has been many. BTW this should be shown in every classroom around the globe. Kids tell your teachers to show it, maybe the bullies have something to think about. LOVE AND FEEL FREE!!!!
The fact that this song means so much to me that I can feel how calm my soul gets when I listen to it , amazes me.
*C'est la Vie
*This world ain't exactly what my heart expected !
I don’t know if it’s just me but the way this song builds is so unique, perfectly fits with the video literal goosebumps when the guy takes that leap.
Such an inspiring song and video. It reminds us that anything is possible until you make it possible. Let us follow our own dreams and don't let society or anything else get in our way to achieving anything we want. Freedom is LIFE. Live life to the fullest!!

Rudimental always make the best music videos!
When I was finding myself, this song was my anthem….. I am on the other side of building the life I want and can finally play this song knowing the path I have taken is for me ❤
such a nostalgic song, reminds me of life about 10 years ago. good times
Im happy for you! Im finding myself, for the second time I think. This song hits home.
