    Just came back from Norway..... I never thought i would be a traveler, i used to be that guy that would rather stay home and play video games.. just me, the dark and my video games... but then i realized.. hey If i love skyrim so much.. why don't i travel to a place like it?..... i booked a flight to iceland, my first time travelling by myself..... i met people along the way.. i saw the northern lights.. i experienced everything for my self.. and it was the greatest moment of my life... then after that it was vietnam... then norway....... It made me feel alive... for the first time when i travelled.... i didn't care about my controller.. my job.. everything else.. i just lived the moment...

    I've spent the majority of my life just rolling in the wind without any direction. After graduating university a couple of years ago I went from retail job to retail job, not really making or keeping any friends in the process. Going from nowhere to nowhere.
    When I saw the trailer for this movie, it struck a chord with me because I could really relate to Walter Mitty. His solitude, his optimistic daydreaming and 'loneliness' This song played at the end of the movie, I just had to download it so that I could truly pay attention to the lyrics.
    I will make it my personal mission this year 2014 to do something that I can be proud of. Something 'noteworthy and mentionable'. :)

      Stay strong. I am a pharmacist dealing with similar unknowns. This song reminds me of my dog who lost a battle with a rare blood disease at five years old. I remember trying to keep him alive and I cannot listen to this song without crying. Exactly 1 year later my son was born. While one thing I loved passed away, another was introduced into my life. While I would have given anything for the both of them to have been together, each one of them were the most wonderful things to have ever happened to me

      Posted this 3 weeks ago. 4 days ago. I was diagnosed with COVID 19 Positive. Before I was caring with patients who got infected, now I am the patient that got infected. Praying to recover soon so that I could come back to work and save more lives. 😊 At first I was shock but just as this song says. We just have to Stay Alive while we can and also accept that time will come that everything will end. For life is not measured by how long you have lived but by how meaningdul you spent every second of it. 💝

    This song at the end of the secret life of walter mitty brings the entire movie together. This song captures the "quintessence" of the movie, of what walter mitty does, and how Ben Stiller captures the role so perfectly. This song sums up all of the beautiful parts of the movie, of walter mitty being so dedicated to his job and to capture a picture that truly captured the meaning of life. All of walter mitty's trials to "do whatever just to stay alive" put the incredibly strong emotion into this movie.
    For me, 25% of this amazing movie is this incredible song.

      Keegan Pelton I couldn't have said it any better. I felt the same exact way. I loved the movie beginning to end, but I don't think I fully realized that until I saw the credits and heard this song.
      It made me think back to the beauty I'd seen in the last two hours, and made me want to watch it again. Any film that can make you feel nostalgic WHILE you're watching it, well...that's something special.
      25%? I'll raise you. 45%.

    • @DreamwalkerFilms
      @DreamwalkerFilms 9 лет назад +16

      Keegan Pelton Also, little anecdote here; Jose Gonzalez had been one of my favorite artists for a while before seeing this movie, and when I went into the theatre (knowing next to nothing about the film - great experience btw), I had no clue that he worked on the soundtrack. When I heard the riff for "Far Away" about a quarter of the way into the movie, something clicked. Ever feel like a film is just tailor made for your enjoyment?

    I am not a fan of Ben Stiller movies, so I initially skipped it. I only saw it thanks to parents, who almost forced me to sit down and watch, they were sure I'd like it. I was waiting to see another cringe comedy, but instead... I was profoundly impressed. A very relatable character of Walter, breathtaking shots and soundtrack is beyond amazing. Also the style and humor itself were at some point unique and something new for me. The moment when fantasy world of Mitty kicks in the first time it caught my attention and never released it. And in the end, this song brought such great feeling of peace and inspiration... One of the most personally beloved movies and one of the greatest piece of work by Ben Stiller.

      So you don't like Zoolander or Tropic Thunder??!!?? Two classic comedies. I used to live on Nantucket Island for 10 years and Ben Stiller's Mom (now dead) and father had a house there. Ben was always on the island during the Nantucket film festival. I was lucky enough to meet him several times and his parents a bunch of times. Ben is an awesome dude in person. I've met a lot of famous people and I gotta say he was one of the few that actually took an interest in meeting me and asked me a bunch of questions just inquiring about me. He will always rock. Plus I love his movies.

I never thought who it was but it felt like someone gave me a tight hug every day, singing this song to me. Months ago, I just got baptized as a Christian and I'm now recovering. I realized it was God all along who used this song to give me a reason to stay alive and not commit suicide. I still listen to this song every day, but I now have a clue who it was who loved me and continues to love me.

      That's a bit ironic since, although the lyrics to this song is written by Ryan Adams, Jose Gonzalez is an outspoken atheist and has stated that he always tries to create music that has humanism and a secular world view foremost.
      Not a slight towards you at all. I just found it a little ironic. All the best.

    There's a rhythm and rush these days
    Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
    Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
    In a world gone shallow
    In a world gone lean
    Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
    The gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
    There's no place to run and no gasoline
    Engine won't turn and the train won't leave
    Engines won't turn and the train won't leave
    I will stay with you tonight
    Hold you close 'til the morning light
    In the morning watch a new day rise
    We'll do whatever just to stay alive
    We'll do whatever just to stay alive
    Well the way I fell is the way I write
    It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
    There is a truth and it's on our side
    Dawn is coming
    Open your eyes
    Look into the sun as the new days rise
    And I will wait for you tonight
    You're here forever and you're by my side
    I've been waiting all my life
    To feel your heart as it's keeping time
    We'll do whatever just to stay alive
    Dawn is coming
    Open your eyes
    Dawn is coming
    Open your eyes
    Dawn is coming
    Open your eyes
    Dawn is coming
    Open your eyes
    Look into the sun as the new days rise
    There's a rhythm and rush these days
    Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
    Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
    In a world gone shallow
    In a world gone lean
    But there is a truth and it's on our side
    Dawn is coming open your eyes
    Look into the sun as a new days rise

    I had severe anxiety in college, and sometimes leaving my front door was too much. I was in a toxic relationship that made everything worse. Abruptly, everything shifted: I got dumped. I started going to church. I was given an opportunity to live in a tiny village in Bosnia for a summer (through church connections), and I jumped at it, despite never having traveled overseas before. Now I was going alone. I remember sitting on the tarmac at JFK Airport, thinking that my anxiety was Goliath, my faith was my stone - and the plane was my slingshot. This song reminds me of that journey - can't believe I'm just finding it now!!
    Prayers to everyone still struggling with anxiety. You're stronger than you think, and capable of so much more than you realize 💕

    I'm so hesitant to try and put words to the feelings that both the movie and the song evoked for me--and I probably wouldn't try except so many others have been brave and shared so I feel like I can too. I have traveled like Mitty at times and have 'lived' in in ways a lot people strive to do. I've always had this life other people wanted. I've known adventure, it's true, but I have always felt empty. I think its the hardest thing to do to find a way of living to completely fulfill you. Even if your life 'looks like' a life that you see in magazines or movies. Its like life is a big game where you have to balance one round pebble on top of another and you can never stop tending to this delicate structure you're creating. You have to hold it up and add to it and shape it, stack another pebble. stack another pebble... I'm young (23 yrs old) so I may not know what I'm talking about or this may all change very soon, but I'm starting to get a sense that this is what it all is. Taking tiny little things and just putting them together as elegantly as you can. There's no rhyme or reason or 'trick' or list of '25 things you can do to be happy' this is all there is. I mean, Walter really didn't commit any extraordinary deed, or have this great goal or plan to live an exciting and fulfilling life, it just sort of happened. He wasn't particularly different either, we've all met day dreamers and we all are day dreamers in some way. He just went to work and stacked his pebbles and eventually life took off for him. This song reminds me of that feeling too. It helps me accept the emptiness and embrace the way of things. I can't travel like I used to, or live the way I used to and I'm not the woman I want to be yet and sometimes I get very upset about this. I want things to be different. But I hear this song and it calms me down and reminds me that life happens little by little, and its okay to listen to the clock tick and its okay to stay in moments that are beautiful. It will all slip away one day, so take your time. Thanks for listening and thanks for everyone who shared too.

      I think you are right. I also think that We have lost the ability to see the extraordinary in our everyday lives. I recently took a trip and was looking for what I termed a "Walter Mitty" and our trip was frought with problems and challanges; and i was sad. I felt I had been cheated of my experience, then it dawned on me...THAT is exactly what happened to Walter in the movie! He thougtht it would be a quick hop to Greenland, and boom! the guy is leaping into freezing shark infested waters! Talk about not what you expected. As I reflected I realized what my wife and I expereienced was exactly what I asked for. Just remember to look for the extraordinary in your everyday life. it IS there, I promise.

    I was probably 11 when I first listened to this song. By then, I didn't know much English and I didn't understand the lyrics. But I didn't need to. There was something about it that just moved me. I'm 14 now, I'm better at English and I do understand the lyrics now. Yesterday, I decided to watch the movie (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty) and I felt the same as I did when I listened to the song. Something changed in me.
    As a not normal teenager, I related to Walter a lot. I take those imaginary trips, I ache for that feeling of freedom. I want to get lost in the mountains and improvise. I want to travel and try my best to Stay Alive. I want to go somewhere where nobody knows me.
    I just wish I had someone to share this with and daydream about it...

For a long time, I always thought this song and Jose's other masterpiece "Step Out" were a single song. They way they play over the credits at the end, with its seamless transition from one song to the other is perfect. Its honestly the only movie credits that I look forward to just because of these 2 songs. After watching the movie, I usually just lay my head back and close my eyes while these 2 songs are playing. It always makes me feel..... just feel. Incredible.

    February 29, 2024. I watched Walter Mitty for the first time in December. I haven’t been able to get the soundtrack out of my head. This song whispers through my mind at times during the day, when I’m rushing, or I see someone in a dither. When I forget to take a breath. When I need to realign my priorities. When I need to reembrace this beautiful life all around me. The timing of it all. The rise and fall. The building and tearing down. And the hope , the lingering hope, that life gets better if I just keep going. I exist. I wasn’t my own idea, yet I remain. Therefore, may I live every moment. Alive. Awake. Enjoying being myself and enjoying those around me. The sunrise and flowers and dimples on cheeks and and and and… it’s all so amazing. 💛💛

    I've always found comfort in disappearing into my imagination. Especially when I was a kid. I would create whole worlds and be the hero or the villain of my own stories, or whatever I was thinking of. When I found this movie and saw that so well depicted, that feeling of escaping to your thoughts whilst trapped in a stagnant reality, it really hit me in an emotional way. Learning how to step outside of yourself and EXPERIENCE life instead of picturing a better/more fantastical one in your mind is the way to go people. You never feel more alive than when you are exposing yourself to the wonder, beauty, and sometimes terror of this world. Stay Alive now.

    It’s a shocker knowing how small life is, I’ve already been threw 15 years and I just realized what am I doing with it, video games, sports, it that it every day rush to get your chores done to game and play for hours only
    To get ready for a baseball game or practice, I just realized every day counts every second and every moment so cherish them cause you could die at any moment, not everyone gets 60+, you only are your age for 365 days

    This is a song that gently resonates with me, who has doubts and worries. Looks like I'll do my best tomorrow too.

    I know years later RUclips will bring me back to this song just as it did now. Secret Life of Walter Mitty introduced me to this song, and it has stayed with me and provided me the required strength back then.
    Whatever I'm going through in my current life, listening to this brought back those days and a smile on my face. Every day is a new beginning and a new adventure calling. If you are reading this, have a nice day!

    "To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."
    Just watched it again for the thousandth time. The movie keeps me going and I hope it helps other people too. To anybody reading this, keep living, my friend. You are beautiful and your capacity for good and love is limitless.

    i've watched some movies that are truly inspirational. but only this one that made me open my eyes wider to see what lies outside. i started my trip a week ago, i didnt go to Iceland because i didnt have enough money and i am still 17, my parents wouldnt let me go. but i put Iceland on my list. hope we all can find our true selves one day and have an amazing journey just like Walter Mitty has.

    I just love that ticking in the background. One may interpret it in various ways, I just think about it as inevitable passage of time with each day. For a person like me, an introvert it reminds me that life is too damn short and step by step I try new things. This song sort of brings me hope.
