Man if you really listen to this song, its pretty deep. Everyone might have their own way of looking at it or interpreting it, but for me I feel like its talking about someone whos lived with regret for a long time and feels trapped because of their past mistakes and decisions. And her song is giving them this hope that the rest of their life is still "Unwritten". People who have a lot of regret, usually have a lot of "inhibitions", they carry a lot of unnecessary weight on their shoulders, they're nervous, shy, scared of the future, and afraid to try new things. I think "Open up the dirty window" means to open up your mind and heart, and release the feelings of regret and disappointment, then to start doing what you wanted to do, writing the new page of your book.
no one else can feel the rain for you.. this always reminds me of a friend that passed away of leukemia when I was 18 yrs old. last time I saw her at a party she was sitting out in the rain, no one knew why or that she was sick including me. I actually joined her for a while because why not. big deal it was raining. we were listening to some good music our friends were playing and it wasn't a thunderstorm, just a nice light summer rain. a treasured memory always evoked by this song.
I have been a college professor teaching local and foreign literature since 2016 at a Catholic university. At the end of every semester, just before the final exams week, I always show this music video to my literature class. And I just let my students realize that we started as unwritten books, and day by day, we "write contents" in our lives. And just like the book at the end of this music video when its pages were scattered all over the place, we, as a generation, will leave our legacy to future generations as they learn from our experiences. This song has been very relevant, at least for me, and will always have a special place in my heart. #Unwritten ❤
0:31 Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions Feel the rain 🌧 on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your Books 📖 begins The rest is still unwritten
My sister absolutely loved this song. So many memories at family parties and gatherings of her dancing to it. She was a bright bubbly soul. We lost her in 2021 to Covid. Her loss hurts but understanding why she loved this song so much... This was her personality to the core. She loved others so much and made such an impact on so many lives. Rest in paradise Monica, I promise I'll always feel the rain on my own skin, no one else can feel it for me.
I'm here because I remember your songs from that time and appreciated the words and tunes. I remember vividly driving and singing in the car in the UK. So pleased to learn today in the news that you've finally received the appreciation that you deserve, Natasha
When she was 15, my daughter told me this was her favourite song... I watched this video... at 1 am in my office... It made me cry my eyes out with absolute joy and pride and amazement ... hope... wonder... In a world determined to tell young girls how they will be, and how they can never be good enough... This song screams to the world I can, and I will, be and do what I decide, not what you want or write! In 3 and a half minutes I had the amazing realization ... my daughter... my "little ray of sunshine" is going to be ok, despite my fears, and my fierce protection and often flawed parenting... she is now an adult and she is self aware and ... she is going to be ok, by her own hand. This all sounds over the top... but to this father, this song, was a life event. She is now 22, graduated as a teacher this year... and I quietly turned this song up a couple of notches in the car when it came on the radio last week :)
that's beautiful. I lost my father a few years ago and not a day goes by that I don't how he shaped so much of who I am. she is lucky and proud to have such a great dad. happy Father's day.
This video is crazy, that book goes through EVERYTHING and then at the very end, a dove kills the book and all of its insides rain over everybody who thinks it’s confetti.
This song reminds me that I can be who I want to be!!! I need to always be myself, do what I want, like what I want, and that I'm writing my own story!!!!! 🙂 This song defines my autism!!! 🙂
I've always loved this song, it's been my favorite song ever since it came out when I was 3 years old, if I hear it on the radio or anywhere, I have a constant smile on my face and I stop what I'm doing and sing along. I don't smile much, but when this song's on, I'm all smiles. Thank you so much, Natasha, for writing a beautiful song for a generation of kids to grow up to, I was born in 2001 and feel blessed to have grown up in an era with such timeless music.
We all have potential - we just need to find our niche; that can take time, effort & support. Fear of the future, guilt about the past & worrying about making mistakes holds us back. We're humans, not robots & life can be short! Just do it!
When this came out my Dad bought me the CD and I had this song on repeat!! I don't know why she did not sing more of her own material, she wrote awesome music for so many artists.
saddest music video of all time. The poor book travels so far, putting so much effort into his quest. Then falls right when he reaches the top and dies, R.I.P little one, you'll never be forgotten.
Since this song came out, over a decade ago, I've claimed this is my life's theme song. I've had theme songs for every step of my life but I felt this one hit me right in my soul. Today, I had a mental break, or as I call it: clarity. I'm now sitting in front of a roaring fire pit at 7a and listening to this on repeat.
This is my favorite song ever. I love everything about it. I get so into the song when singing along with it that I don't even pause to swallow my saliva until the song's over, I like to be fully immersed in the experience every time, I always stop what I'm doing to listen to it if it's on the radio. It's such a beautiful song and message that it's shaped my philosophy on life. It was a big part of my childhood (I was born in 2000) and to this day it continues to be a message that continues to be true. Thank you so much, Natasha, for this wonderful gift to humanity!
It's November of 2020 and I must say Thank you, Natasha. Your song, Unwritten, is timeless and since it was released it has been one of the most inspirational songs that carry me through some very difficult times. Thank you for being a part of the "soundtrack" of my life. I hope you and everyone near and dear remain safe and healthy throughout this pandemic. **Muuuah**
I play this song with my headphones on when washing the dishes knowing i cant help singing it so that i dont get bored washing them llol Love from Guatemala (oct 8 2024)
I have liked .. no ... loved Natasha's music & words for a long time ... its nice to see that someone as good as her didn't sell herself out to the industry.....
My mom used to listen to this song a lot, but i didn't remember the name so I literally typed "open your window rain pouring" and this came up. Technology these days
My mom was married to my mentally abusive dad for nearly 37 years... Their divorce was finalized today. This was the song that popped into my head as I was talking to her. Finished the "book" she was living, and has now started an unwritten journey.
i remember..this song i listened it when i was in the high school ..it is such Huge meaning , really 👍👍👍 Always love this song with the way she sings it ❤
I began writing when I was 16 and this song always keeps me on point bc this song never grows old. And if I've ever mess up I tried again. In 2023 and this is my favorite letter song that I won't forget.
Dude this song is actually such a growth mindset anthem haha. I feel like it's so perfect when you're trying to achieve something big
I totally agree! So inspiring
The crescendo is so satisfying
🙂👍
Absolutely not for me. Have to sing it at my school and it gave me crippling depression which triggers my wee when seeing hotdog buns
@@MrBrno uj
The movie Anyone but You has bought this song to the attention of whole new generation of people.
I bet the singer is happy to see that her song is a hit again 🎉
for me was the memories I still remember every time a new video clip was released we used to go to Yahoo Videos,,,amazing years!!!!
Woke DEI movie, only fee pirates 😂😂not even they care for it
Deutschland
The best song they've ever heard

Good interpretation
I didn't know Zoro was so deep...
And naturally the MV had to be redone and toned down for America
@@Ly_Lord lol thats what happens when you wander off too much
what the fuck i just came here from a little ginger in a red car i didnt expect to be touched

Thank you for telling that story wow it brought tears to my eyes. I’m sorry about your friend.
Encouragement, positivity, hopefulness, this song is everything
I totally agree, it's such a beautiful song and it's my favorite song ever.
Can’t believe this song is 20 years old this year
And it got the deserved resurgence.
20 what?
WoWW! Where does the time go ???
You’re making me feel old. I remember hearing it on the radio on my way to school!
I know. I think I first heard this song on an episode of Degrassi.
This song is helping me live life to the fullest, no holding back, or anxiety of the future. To just be present and feel the moment
Alright 💙🏵️🥀 2023
Life black and feel
Outstanding! The serenity song from Anyone But You-this song deserves this notoriety from this newly released movie.😊 👏
I grew up with this song as my anthem. From this day onward, I dedicate this song to my autistic pre-verbal child 😘
2021: still a banger
🙌🏾
Makes me want to run through a meadow in the rain
Still💯
👊💢💥
2022: still a banger :)
I love this beautiful song, it's always been one of my favorites. This song could be Earth's planetary anthem.

Yeah, I agree. I love videos with greater interpretations of the real image that the video is proposing.
Me too
0:31 Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain 🌧 on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your Books 📖 begins
The rest is still unwritten

I had this Chi-na Virus on September 2022, but thankfully I was vaccinated 3 times and didn't suffered a lot.
Sorry to hear that but there is still hope in everything you do

Sounds gay
*+SuperWurstgesicht* You're gay!
No, wait! I'm gay! DAMNIT!
And with that attitude, your poor little daughter will die single with fatherless children. Congratulations, misogynist!
This is beautiful. She's lucky to have such a great father. I wish I'd have had this
Thank God for the gift of music. Thank you for this words and melody! Such an inspiration
She has a amazing voice and she will inspire a lot of people
Rosaline Terrell did*
It's funny that throughout the whole song she doesn't sing so high but then at 3:28 she lets out two A5's out of nowhere lol
This musicvideo is so class, we definitely need a HD version again!!
Haha, well I didn’t watch “Anyone but you@, but I will.
I heard it in 2004. Still in my heart. Natasha still looks gorgeous❤
Such an underrated song! It is pure motivation! I recommend to every human being listen to it at least once, especially when their mood is low.
Have listened to THIS hit for yrs!!Never out of date.Thank YOU Natasha!
14 years, Time flies. Live your best every day.❤️
WHY IS THIS SONG SO UNDERRATED?!?!
"They don't don't write 'em like that any more..." (in the words of Greg Kher Band)
This video is crazy, that book goes through EVERYTHING and then at the very end, a dove kills the book and all of its insides rain over everybody who thinks it’s confetti.
Anyone but you introduced me to this masterpiece now I'm obsessed
someone's serenity song
@@tobysimango4595 ben be like
UK version has the better music video clip, cant believe I found it just this year after listening to this song for 14 years :O
This song reminds me that I can be who I want to be!!! I need to always be myself, do what I want, like what I want, and that I'm writing my own story!!!!! 🙂 This song defines my autism!!! 🙂
Please tell me I'm not the only one that searched 'feel the rain on your skin'😭
I remember this song growing up but I didn't remember the name
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣I literally just did that cuz I heard that in target and it was my childhood song but idk the name...
You’re not
Not at all, this song takes me back 12 years >.< Feeling old!

Me too

Never heard this song until a video of a ginger kid singing it randomly showed up on my recommended. What a legend!
“Release your inhibitions” . Psychology lesson live life and enjoy it to the fullest ❤️
We all have potential - we just need to find our niche; that can take time, effort & support. Fear of the future, guilt about the past & worrying about making mistakes holds us back. We're humans, not robots & life can be short! Just do it!
possibly the greatest song ever written xx
Now I have to say......that's one determined little book.
***** and also everyone of us :)
The Little Book that (almost) could
How are you? hi from the future
Whoever chose that green dress, the largest respect! I thought that green is not good for a blond girl but that is perfect.
one of the most underrated songs. Beautiful words for people.
When this came out my Dad bought me the CD and I had this song on repeat!! I don't know why she did not sing more of her own material, she wrote awesome music for so many artists.
so perfect, i still love the song
saddest music video of all time. The poor book travels so far, putting so much effort into his quest. Then falls right when he reaches the top and dies, R.I.P little one, you'll never be forgotten.
That was my first thought when I heard it as a kid lol

I'm here because of my Dear Friend. Thank you Gibs for sharing this masterpiece to me 💚
As a child I don't figure the magic of the song within it's lyrics. I am crying over this masterpiece! Those things she sings It's so true!
Natasha, I really love this video, not just the original one. You go, girl!

there are a few theological and philosphical things one should consider. this is one of them. and how biutufully she declares it. oh Natasha 🧡
