Homesick for Chicago

- It’s hard to say goodbye to someone you love but nothing can prepare you to say goodbye to your city. We were born here, had our hearts broken then mended and we grew up into business men. Chicago is something you have to let into your soul to understand. Although our careers lead us out west to Los Angeles, our hearts will forever remain in the Windy City.

There are no words to explain what I am feeling...Born in the City, raised in the suburbs, left in '96 and now living in Europe. This makes me miss home so much, miss my father, my brother...these scenes, and the heartfelt music brings them back to me again, if only for a few minutes...I never truly grieved the losses of my family, but the way you captured the architectural/cultural beauty of Chicago brings it all home again to me. So bittersweet. So fleeting. So necessary. This just did that for me. Would love to have a copy of this if possible. Thanking you....
+PCNewry beautiful. thank you for writing this, I'm glad you were as moved as us.
Beautiful
@Mario Forieri come home
I came to Chicago in 1958....and haven't left. Yet. This is a beautiful tribute to an amazing City...it's heartbreaking that not only it, but the entire State of Illinois, is undergoing the political and civil strife now. Ever hopeful that the spiirit and intelligence of its people will overcome.
Lol it’s worse now
@@coochielicker No worse. No better. Under siege and change needed? Yes. It's happened in the past and it's gone on to rebuild and come back. It will, again....better than before as long as people living here (Do YOU live in Chicago?) have hope and are willing to make the changes needed.
This is the greatest city in the world, she gave birth to all the modern cities.
chicago is the birth place of the skyscraper
tru but NY still has the better overall skyline with more skyscrapers
skyline "with more skyscrapers" that's not "better" by definition. Clearly lol.
Tim Xu chicago is not the greatest city in the world ..how??..oh because you have four tall skycrapers... chicago gave birth to gangs
lmao the guy from Philly shouldn't be talking. And also, you illiterate loser, Chicago was the first city to ever build a skyscraper... not your stupid tower that everyone in Philly thinks was first lmao... Philadelphia is good for cheesesteaks and thats about it....
From a Southsider living in Korea for the past three years, thank you. I'm proud to be able to show this to my students and tell them this is where I'm from. Excellent job.
+YeuxDeBleu thank you for sharing our film. the whole world deserves to see how beautiful chicago is.
Thanks, guys. Moved from Chicago to LA myself and seeing this almost made me cry. Beautiful compilation.
Devyn M how's LA?... visited there.... it's ok...didn't like it too much, found it boring and too packed. LA definitely has nothing on Chicago.
Come back then?
She makes me cry as a middle-age man. Lived in the suburbs forty years ago. From the Eastern Seaborard but I have to certa0inlt nod my head to you Chicagoans!!!!! Spent two trips recently and damn you extortion hotel tax but you are the quiet strength of the country.My favorite city is NYC but I admit you are nicer and more considerate. Ah, the City of Broad Shoulders. 0My hat is of to you people as a fellow American. You are the Pride of the Nation! Crap, I'm getting so emotional but YOU get it! I'M SO SO HAPPY for YOUR win! Fly thay Chicago Four Star and "W"". What a people and an amazing City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you People of Chicago!!!!!!! Be so Proud!
Thank you! As someone who was born and only lived in Chicago their young life, I really want to not only go back as often as possible but I want to live there as an adult and have a career there. America has many great places but Chicago stands out to me as the best possible place. NYC seems to be great minus some of the people. Hats off to you for your amazing comment. Made my day, thank you.
I thank you for your reply. As I said, I love New York City but there is something uniquely special and American about Chicago. I hope you find your happiness and dreams there in life as she is an amazing city with special people. Be well and stay out of trouble. Your daddy, so to speak is talking here and as you get older I hope you realize I mean you the best.Enjoy life. It goes by quickly.
She is the uniquely quiet proud American power. NyC is international, and the defacto Capital the American Capital in many ways which we wink wink at. Chicago is uniquely American and should remain that way. NYC is two 1/2 times larger and damn crowded and dances to her own plate but you, Chicagoans, I admire you like Hell. I love your City and Congratulations on your championship win! Congrats to the powerhouse of the Lake!
Thanks so much! :) Hope you have a great life and retirement ahead of you, maybe you can retire to Chicago :)
This is so absolutely beautiful to me and I have zero connection to Chicago. Brilliant and ty. It made my day.
My city forever.
Great city, Chicago is beautiful.
I remember frequently the windy city of Chicago is a beautiful city I have been there a couple times . and Enjoyed so much.. great...!
Born and raised in Chicago. This brings back so many great memories. Thank you for reminding me of what an incredible city we live in. This should be shown all over the city for visitors to see all we have to offer. Amazing piece of work.
kathy eggert yes it is
Wow, very nice presentation. I grew up in the Deep South, but I went to New York City for three and a half years after high school and I still miss New York City to this day. Fifty years have come and gone since leaving and I fully understand how you folks can feel the way you do about Chicago, another great city.
Thank you for this wonderful remembrance. I share your love of Chicago and I miss it. I was not born there, but like you my heart was broken there and mended there. I reached a level of professionalism there which I have not duplicated elsewhere. I bought and lived in a beautiful downtown condo which I have not duplicated elsewhere. I'm originally from Cleveland, but my father left to go to Chicago and some years later, I also left for Chicago. During the years there, this City did enter my soul. Indeed, Chicago often overwhelmed me, and though I tried, I'm not sure I ever understood it. I left Chicago 2 years ago to be near my only grandchild We live in a very small northern California city without beautiful skyscrapers. Although I often think of Chicago, the thoughts don't sting because of the laughter and hugs and shinning eyes of a six year old. Thank you for this film - it means more than I can say. I wish you many years of success and happiness with your careers in Los Angeles.
From Europe and living in Chicago. This video captured the city so well, reminding me how lucky I am to have the chance to live here. Very well done, took my breath away! Thank you!
Please don't leave! Also, I've noticed something a lot europeans are moving here.
And alot of everyone else are getting the hell out!
just tell Amazon that. lol.
I've heard that many people are getting out of Chicago, or Illinois in general. But damn, Chicago is extremely beautiful in my opinion. I'm also from Europe, and I would love to visit Chicago someday.
@@galenvejkengdjor7718 chicago's population is technically slightly declining because of so many people moving out of the poorer west and south sides, but the center and north sides are both growing fast and much of the people who are moving are switching to the suburbs which are growing very quickly too. As for the state as a whole, most of it is losing population because the vast majority of the area is rural agricultural land and people are leaving to urban centers, its happeneing to rural areas around the country because the world gets more urbanized every year.
This video makes me downright emotional. Thank you for reminding of the city I fell in love with over a decade ago. Its been tough lately to remember that city, with all the violence goin on
Thank you for watching Susan. Our hearts are forever in Chicago
Really beautiful. As a lifelong Chicagoan I appreciate these reminders of what's so great about my hometown.
My hubby and I moved to a VERY small town 20 years ago for work. I had never lived anywhere but Chicago - never had a reason to. Being the city girl that I am, I struggled from time to time with adapting to a place so limited in variety; people, cultures, entertainment, food, shopping... you get the point. I even had trouble sleeping in my new town because it was TOO quiet. Thank God for the birth of RUclips! I found vids with city sound effects to sleep to, music, music and more music and later... THIS VIDEO!!!!!!! I shared it with EVERYONE. This vid created (and still does) an indescribable stirring in my spirit. It beautifully captures the essence and energy of the city and the musical score adds such a majestic quality. I am proud to say that I'm baaaack! Hubby retired and we moved back a few months ago. There truly is no place like home. Thanks Underscore for filling a void when I was REALLLLLLY homesick!
such an honor to be born in chicago and raised there
Edson Silva YES!
Yes as was I love that city
fr I just about moved into college and I already miss it
Born and raised here, been away at school for the past 5 years and have been missing home every second. Watching this video brought me to tears. All of the people, the places, the memories. Chicago is more than a place, its something you live, something you are and when you're gone a piece of you is gone too.
This was awesome, thank you.
Incredible city. People are the salt of the earth. It is not perfect. In fact far from it. But she tries. She has so much heart.
No city is perfect.
Love it. I'm moving back to Chicago in a week after living in L.A. for a year. Can't wait.
+Patrick Ziegler same! lived in LA for a year, moving back next week
Great choice, brose! Chicago rocks while Los Mangeles sucks!
L.A. Goodbye, by the Ides of March: a song about returning to Chicago
ruclips.net/video/6o1n1yQTcDU/видео.html
Right! Lived in Denver for a year now, homesick. Going back, this video really made me want to just leave tomorrow lol
What a heartfelt video and the music added so much. I left there 15 years ago and that was one of the biggest mistake of my life... snow and all.
+Bar Steff leaving the snow ain't so bad. Lodent made such a beautiful track for us!
This and so much more... the nature... the people... layers and layers of stories... I had only one week to meet you Chicago, but we've created a thing of our own.
+Elsa Loff thank you! it's all about the people, the stories, the heartbeat of the city. come spend more time!
@underscorefilms That was beautiful. I moved to South Florida from Chicago a little over 3 years ago and I miss Chicago quite often. When you're born and raised there, it's difficult to leave and the love for the city can sometimes be hard to explain and for other to understand but it's just there. Thanks for making this.
Nick Sumbles completely understand you
COME BACK SAVE YOUR DIENG CITY
I recently moved to Seattle and I couldn't have said this better myself. I miss Chicago's grit and culture the most - that can't be found anywhere else! Amazing job with this video!
Me too, well said!
Ellie Bittourna Me too! no other city like it! #misschicago
RE: Grit. I remember hearing one time, "Chicago, if you can't make it there, you'll never make it anywhere". The city I loved is long gone (1960-70s). There's nothing like being a kid in Chicago. Still, a tear came to my eye. Damn, now I have a hankering for a beef, dipped.
cotaxista maaaaannnn..... My sister sent me a photo of her eating a combination (beef & sausage) and dipped! 😓🤤😖 literally made my mouth water and stomach growl lol. Chicago has the BEST food..... I also miss the pizza and Mexican food lol (& I'm Puerto Rican 😂).
Wish Cubs games were still that cheap! I remember just 4 years ago my friends and I could get bleacher seats for $5...now no less than $75...rightfully so i suppose! :) and what I'd do for al's italian beef right now!
My favorite American city is New York but think Chicago has the most beautiful skyline. Every city has their own smell in the air and sound. Chicago I hear the el trains rattle and the tires that sing over the bridges. The City of big shoulders is international but distinctly American.
Chicago is cleaner and has more sites than NYC. NYC is just a bunch of people, that's it.
I went to NYC once and only got to Manhattan and Brooklyn. So many tourists, and you can't buy beer and hard liquor at same place so everywhere they would have like a beer place and then across the st. an alcohol store? And they had no alleys compared to us??. Trash was just thrown in the front of places. Still times square is the only place in the world you can experience something like that. And I love Belmont Park but not as much as Arlington with how new it is. lol and saw a girl fight walking to the beach? never seen a fight in Chicago like that.
NYC is just so dam big. Chicago is like manhattan and Brooklyn put together. Never knew that each borough is like a county so Chicago's cook county is 2nd largest after LA. Even though NYC has double the metro population.
New York is the greatest city on earth!
Exactly, more well organised, and looking good than new york skyline, new york looks so random buildings compare to chicago
I've never been to Chicago and this video made me miss Chicago. Wow. lol.
@@kurtlamprecht93 come live here forever!!!!
You need to go i was amazed on the first day I went there. I'm from nyc and I keep going back.
This is absolutely amazing. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Chicago in 2004. I moved away in 2013 for family reasons and I can honestly say I've been homesick for Chicago ever since. The part in the description where you said you have to let Chicago into your soul to understand, well once you do that you'll never love a city the same way you love Chicago. I will always miss Chicago and always yearn to live there again. Maybe someday I'll get the chance again. 💔❤
OllieStellaAndHailey Sounds like me with similar timing. Think about this ... if there is one place in the world where you could not bear to not see again, why not live there?
Omg I miss Chicago 😭😭 born and raised. Brighton Park whoop whooooppp ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful video... I was in August 2016 for 4 days with my family in Chicago for the first time and it was great! We'll be back in this wonderful city...
Although I was born and raised in western suburbs, my family and I were always in the city for something. I lived in the city proper for four months last year. Now, I live and work in West Virginia. My homesickness for this place is painful at times. Of course, no city is perfect. But, Chicago is forever home.
I love and miss Chicago so much, I’m so glad that I’m moving back next year I can’t wait.
born and raised in Chicago moved around the suburbs a little but now am in Rockford I just went to visit today and back in Rockford at this moment.. I miss my city...
I so much miss Chicago. I move to Atlanta 2 year’s ago for a job. I wanna move back.
This is right on time!!! I moved away from Chicago to Seattle at the end of July and had a hard time the first month. Even though the move was the right thing to do I REALLY MISS CHICAGO. Thanks!
+futuristfreak we're going through the same.
+futuristfreak thats awesome, my soon to be wife and I plan on moving to Seattle in the next couple of years. As beautiful as Chicago is, I refuse to raise my family under this corrupt rule.
+futuristfreak I moved from Chi town to Portland, Or in 2006. At first I was happy with my move. These days however, I would move back in a heartbeat if I hadn't met my future husband here. It's home and always will be for me.
+ELI SCRIPTS corrupt rule?
+futuristfreak i moved to seattle too from chicago last summer and i miss it oh so very much i feel your grief
Love my city. 😍❤️
Chicago is our first home in America. I've lived in LA, NYC, Indianapolis and still nothing compares to the unique vibe of Chicago. Winter is brutal, crime is high, expensive to live, but when you witness Lake Michigan meets the skyline, and its people, it seems to wash those worries away. Even though I don't live in the city, its always a wonderful treat to visit her.Great job on the video!
This video is nothing short of incredible. Currently in the middle of moving from NW suburbs into the heart of the city and I've been so stressed. Money is tight, I need to get college and a job set up downtown...but this just took all that away. It will be worth it. Thank you for this amazing tribute.
+hockeygirl324 this is exactly why we wanted to share this. you're not the only one going through it, we are too! now go kick some ass!
Thank you for making this video. I was there for about eleven years. I have passed the places in the video driving on lake shore drive many times. I had no special feelings when I was there. Rather, I wanted to come back to my country. Now, I am far from there. I think I am homesick for Chicago. It's really beautiful city to live. Even though Chicago winter is not my favorite, I miss the weather, too.
Love the video. The way you were able to capture the buildings, people, water, life.. and bring it all together. Perfection. It's how I feel about the city I'm from (Pittsburgh PA). And currently struggling between moving back to the city I absolutely love or try out a city that I have become very much fascinated with (Chicago).
The most beautiful city in the planet !! God did a great job ! 🙏✝️💜thank you lord!i I grew up here in the South Side of Chicago ! Later moved to the Lincoln Park area in the HEART of beautiful old town!Thank you LORD !’ 🙏✝️💜
Great video! I really miss Chicago
Then come back?
Moved here 6 years ago....why would I live any place else :)
+Mark Fitzgerald We second that!
High crime, high taxes, bad weather
Watching this beautiful video on the train, struggling unsuccessfully to hold my tears back......Chicago I love you and miss you, I have seen many beauties beside you, but never loved a city like you
Been away from this part of my identity for a little over ten years now. I moved away at 14 to Ohio, and I’m still homesick. At 24, the city doesn’t seem as far as it used to be when I was younger. I’ve visited a couple times since the pandemic. Truly amazing visits. I’ve got tears in my eyes writing this. I miss the region so much. My heart yearns for Chicago
Absolutely spectacular, two thumbs up
CHI > NYC > LON > HOU > NOLA > and now finally in 2018... > CHI. Last stop and forever! I'm better for having lived elsewhere and abroad but there is no place I would rather build my business and set my roots than Chicago.
Just a beautiful, beautiful city. Maybe one of the grandest in the world. The people, the food, the culture and, of course, the stunning architecture.
Congrats! The most beautiful video that I saw! 👌🏻
I moved away at 15. I told my family we’d always move back to Illinois eventually. 9 years later, I’m in Illinois with my family, after 5 years of watching this video, I’m planning to save and move into Chicago next year. My favorite city in the world. I’m coming home ❤️
The beautiful city. I'm from Indonesia and visit to Chicago a few years ago. Memories that will never be forgotten by the beauty and the life of this city
I'm sitting in my office in Texas longingly watching.. thank you!
Unlike many of the posters here, I never left Chicago rather I came here as a kid in 1980's, found home, and will never leave. Adore this place. Also, this city's skyline is insane. This is only a five year old video and I am picking out so many spots where there now exist soaring, beautiful towers. It keeps getting better.
We left 30 years ago for a better opportunity in Florida but there is always a piece of your heart left in Chicago, so you have to visit to get it back. Florida will never compare to Chicago! Chicago is a cultural mecca.
infinitejusticeone Ive been living in the Miami area....and Miami is nothing compared to Chicago... I try going back as much as I can....I miss the food! lol
THEN COME BACK CHICAGO IS DIEING!!!! SAVE YOUR HOME! 😥
Amazing work. No matter what city I visit... Chicago has its own charm that never makes me want to leave.
best chicago drone video out there. shows the people as well as the buildings
I was born and raised here and never want to live anywhere else
A beautiful video of a wonderful city .... born there in the 60's , moved to the Atlantic coast of Canada when I was 12 ( 40 years ago) , a part of my heart will always remain with Chicago . Need to get back for a visit soon . My school friends are still in touch , my neighborhood friends were and still are like family ...thank you for sharing !! :) ...and oh how I miss my Chicago Style Italian Beef's !!
+Karen Burke come back and visit soon, we miss you!
... it feels like coming home when I see the wonderful pictures of Chicago. I will visit this lovely town this or next year. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪❤️😊
Left in 2016 for work and my entire family and all my friends still live in Chicago, whenever I’m feeling down this video brings me home. Thank you for making this, I feel as if I’m home.
Born and raised in the 'burbs, but I always enjoyed visiting the city. I've been in Osaka now for over fifteen years, and I treasure my trips back home, thanks for the video.
I plan on moving to Chicago, been going through there and been there plenty of times and I miss it everytime I leave, I felt like I belong
From Chicago and currently in college in the south. Miss it so much thank you for this video. I can’t wait to be home
Grew up next to Midway and left for the Army in '63. Never moved back but still call it home! Been to DC/N.Y./LA but none come close! Loved taking the 59th street bus to the beach as a kid. Also shopping with mom at Carson Piere Scott, Weibolts, Goldblats etc. (pardon the spelling).
+TBFnut thanks for sharing and thank you for serving this country.
What a masterpiece. Thank you so much. You captured the city so beautifully. Brought tears to my eyes. I miss my city, this is home, where my heart belongs.
There’s so much more that’s not depicted on that video and I miss so terribly from my hometown. Too many to name, but just a few: the historical architecture, the museums, Greek town, the seasons of the year, and the food.
I visited Chigaco back in 2007 as my sister was studying there. It is an awesome City. I liked it alot and I have only good memories about this city and the people who I met there.
This video wakes up my memories and feelings back then. Thank you very much for that work and hopefully you can come back to your beloved city.
nothing but the truth spoken here
I will never be over that city and I can never seem to find the right words to explain how magical it is. You have to be there, live there. How lucky I was! Even if it was only for a few months... Thanks for this ♥ You made me happy and teary-eyed.
I made the move out west from Chicago 2+ years ago, this is touching and SPOT ON, such a great tribute to the greatest city on earth!
Some of the most amazing footage I've ever seen of the city Love the music too. Really a fantastic film. Thanks for sharing.
+mitten1 we have to thank LODENT for the amazing original track. thank you for watching!
+underscore films
guys- i did all the 2016 olympic films. yours is as good as anything we did. Fantastic work. Good luck.
+mitten1 what a compliment. that's a sweet gig! send us what you made.
Awesome views of Chicago.., one of the most beautiful cites in the world! Excellent job., be well & pray for us here in the Windy City! Love Chicago deeply, three of the four seasons:-)!
+Kyle D Wade thank you for the kind words!
Sweet home, Chicago. Going back to visit in July. Moving back permanently in 2 years when this tour in DC ends.
Ooo! That’s a beautiful thing. Miss Chicago I come home several times a year and this video ooo! Thing of beauty from the skyline to the people playing with the water from the fire hydrant to the hots dogs. Chicago pride! 2nd to none thanks!
The most beautiful video of Chicago I've ever seen. You've captured the city's heart and soul. Breathtaking....
+Christine Buckley could not agree more!
I have the best memories attached to every scenery here and its making me too emotional
I really wish I could go! Amazing video. Thank you!
I love the golden lights from sky scrapers at night
Excellent video, amazing shots. Love the city, been there a handful of times, great food, walking city, great music, arts...
This is Wonderful.. Excellent Job, great views and footage of Landmarks. Breathtaking A++++++ 👍🏻👊🏻😎
+Christopher Walker thank you Christopher!
Love you Chicago forever you were so kind to me and gave me Associate Degree at Wright College 4 of my children were born in Chicago you have heart thank you forever Mary B .Cunningham SS 8209
Beautiful!!
The colossus that is Chicago, capital city of the American Mid-west.
jefferson park portage park great areas to live.
@underscorefilms, this film was breathtaking & captured aspects of our amazing city that make it unique and memorable. I got teary eyed seeing it. I loved all of the scenes but the ones that moved me to my core were the beach w/the tranquil Lake waves, open fire hydrant, L scenes, hot dog stand and John Hancock building. Those things represent so much of my life there. I moved to Orange Co., CA 21 yrs ago but my hometown is still Chicago and I will always be a bit out of place & uncomfortable in So.Cal. Gosh, I miss our big city yet still Midwest ways. I can't thank you enough for this film. Will share w/my fam. Blessings for your future projects.
+jeslovelyme well it sounds like we're very much in the same boat. thank you for taking the time to write such an amazing comment and viewing our work. we couldn't agree more withe everything you said. Enjoy SoCal, maybe we'll see ya around!
Love this...I posted for all my friends who have moved away and for my friends who are still here and love it everyday. Thank you.
This video is exceptional because it captures the "people" aspect so well, not just flying scenes with music. Wish you make more videos like this.
Thanks Vivian! That's exactly what we hoped to capture. Have you seen our Homesick for San Francisco? We'll have more soon, we promise!
This video is amazing. It really does truly capture the essence of the city. Chicago will always be near and dear to my heart. I miss the place as much as I miss my friends and family who are still there.
+Sal M thank you for such a kind comment! Much love to you and your friends!
Left in 1972. Still miss it EVERYday...
+Mike Fisher us too :'(
I saw this a few years ago and have been looking for it. Finally fount it! Just moved to LA from Chi 2 months ago, and I freaking miss it
Thank you so much for this video. This is the Chicago everyone should experience. Will re-watch it whenever I'm missing Chicago. Thank you again.
I am downtown Chicago right now and this made me feel nostalgic for some things that are literally a block away! So i guess that means your sentiment speaks very clearly through your edit! Great work! I work in film as well, and i just felt you needed to hear that little truth. ;) Great work!
Definitely homesick for the city I was born in: Chicago. Now living in Arizona (since I was 8 years old). For you to capture the beauty and uniqueness of the city in less than four minutes is BEYOND phenomenal!! Someday I'll be able to visit my home city of Chicago again. Thank you so much for your time and effort with this video. It moved me to tears. Well done!!
+cntrygal2007 thank you for such a beautiful message. Chicago misses you too! Find time to visit. :)
+underscore films You're most welcome. Will definitely find time to visit! Soon, I hope! :-)
:D
wow - stunning!! i'm still living in chicago (and lived at marina city many moons ago, awww) but i'm contemplating the big move west, so i will keep this lovely video handy ;)
A beautiful look at your city. Very moving. Thanks. subscribed.
Amazing and Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!!
I love Chicago such a beautiful amazing city great job on the video.
Damn I needed this haven’t been home in years now and it’s crazy cause sometimes I think I miss the city more my friends&fam
Отличная работа ! Весь этот маленький фильм смотрится буквально, на одном дыхании ! Замечательные виды города и классный видеомонтаж ! Большое спасибо ! Привет из Санкт-Петербурга (Россия)
Love this. As someone from Chicago that's also moved to California this is one of the best videos of the city I've seen. It had me tear up a bit. ☺️. Well done!!
+Aaron Feeney kick some butt in California! we do love it here but Chicago is one of the greatest cities in the world.
+underscore films Cali Chicagoans Unite. :) Been here for 5 years now. a little over one in SoCal and now the rest in NorCal.
Lived in the suburbs since I was 11, I'm in the navy now and feeling alone and am in a bad place. I miss home so much.
