      Hey Mark Wills, those 2 kids with Down syndrome are testament of living life because I myself have that also, having Down syndrome is definitely and absolutely a gift of God.Even those is a cross to bear but we live it out and to share the beauty of it. There is a song that really sticks out to me from When we are Young by Adele: one of the line is: You look like a movie: pictures this: other people seeing us like movie but people we know don’t see us like a movie. Thanks.

      OMG! I cried every time when Mark Wills recorded “Don’t Laugh At Me.” … written by Allen Shamblin and Steve Seskin. I, myself, have been bullied by many kids when I was growing up. I was called a derogatory word rhymes with regard (R*Word), and everything in between. I have cerebral palsy and it hits really hard.

    Boy this one really hit home. I was born with cerebral palsy and was bullied for about the first 30 years of my life; including being beat up, having food thrown on me and people imitating the way I walked. I finally came to realize people fear what they don't understand. And that the sooner we learn to forgive the sooner we will start to heal.

      In high school, administrators took the mentality of "kids will be kids, they need to learn to deal with it. " so a few of us took it upon ourselves to protect the disabled and the "different" people in the school.
      It was wrong what we were doing to the bullies, but it was worse that the administration was doing nothing about the far worse things they were doing to others . Thankfully by the end of my grade 11 year, all i had to do was walk up to them and say "they are with me" and the buillies would back off.
      My wife is one of the people I protected in high school, and im still friends with at least the ones that came to hang out with me for our lunch break.

She has front lobe brain damage and multiple injuries to her back, neck , shoulder out of socket. My daughters life is forever changed. The kids that injured her had nothing done to them. So thank you and God Bless each and everyone of you.

      There arent words for these things. I'm disabled too beyond repair-though God healed a great amount of it miraculously. Justice is God's and so is Vengeance. And He will do far more perfectly to them than we could have. Hell is a comforting thought when you have met evil face to face and can be sure they earned it and will get theirs even after it seems like they got away, for now. And its not on your clean hands to do what God can do with His clean and Holy justice.

    My daughter was a special needs young lady. She passed in 2011. She loved everyone unconditionally. That’s why she couldn’t understand it when she was teased and made fun of. I have to admit, luckily, most people just fell in love with her.I can still see her heartache from the small % of humans(?) who were so mean for no reason. I have never heard this song but it will now be played often. I had to be strong for her when the bullying would happen and could not let her see me cry for her. My pillow saw lots of ugly crying. RIP until we see each other soon. I love you Tara Maureen Brock!💕❤️💕❤️🥰🥰

      Love to you. And your daughter. My brother is different, and we knew lotsa folk that were so pure and yeah, we judged in our idiocy, but there were no better folk to be with, their purity, and strength, and like this vid here... shows how strong their soul is. I think the bullies were malnourished, and hungry, and that is why they took food from the one they could intimidate and not get any repurcussions, what a difference when the kid gave them willingly and ... looked like he knew why they were mean. He gave them food, perhaps a lesson too, the food for the spirit, like Jesus would have gleefully given to any who hungered, this is just food after all, but the lesson, and the end, I love it.... They don't have to be mean anymore, they did to eat... but a gift.... when needed, ... breaks that and teaches that God comes in many forms. Give that back when ya can, but most of all, remember, and think on that. Turn other cheek and all, well to a degree, but like I teach my kids, whenever, like the red cross motto: "Whomesoever you see in distress, recognize in them a fellow man."
      I love you Sherri.
      God Bless you.

      All through school I was bullied. And i hung out with a bunch of the "handicapped" kids some had learning issues some had physical impairments some had downs. One of them Kieth i think he had Cerebral palsy or something he had trouble speaking and had to use wheel chair ( couldn't use hands or legs well) loved telling dirty jokes! Boy once he got his talking computer he went to town cracking dirty jokes at lunch left n right and just laughing his butt off. They were the real cool kids.

He was sweet and stubborn and with the support of family and friends he lived a life that absolutely exceeded those expectations. He deserved respect, just like the people in the video. Thanks for putting them in the spotlight.

She has dealt with bullying the last few years at school and kids in the neighborhood. Has also had adults just stare at her. I remind her everyday what an amazing person she is. She was surprised that I also dealt with bullying at her age. I almost took my life when I was 15 years due to being bullied. 😭 This song is so needed right now. Thank you.

That's HUGE!!! This is a hallmark movie version of an attempt to show how a little kindness can go a long way.

      I certainly wouldn't want to show ANY KINDNESS to those who teased me because of my last name because if someone is teasing or bullying you in anyway on a daily basis, they DO NOT DESERVE ANY KINDNESS, COMPASSION, OR EMPATHY! They deserve harsh punishment to teach them a lesson! Maybe the bullies need some public humiliation in front of the whole school, like embarrassing baby pictures shown on the daily morning news program or being forced to clean the boy's urinals in the bathroom with toothbrushes, in their underwear while their victims film them on their cell phones to post on social media later with the caption, "This is what happens to bullies at our school!" Oh and make sure to get the news crews involved, especially the National News programs!

    This is such a beautiful song. Thank you so much it means a lot to me personally. I lost my entire left leg almost six years ago, I'm 43 and the amount of belittling, torment and abuse I get from adults breaks my heart. I don't wear a prosthesis as my type is very big and cumbersome, so it's easier for me to get around on crutches. Yes I look different, but I'm still a human being! I still laugh, cry, defend and debate. Children are the complete opposiite to adults. They come up to me and ask questions like "did your leg fall off when you were running" because they're curious! I'm happy to answer any questions children, or adults may have. Knowledge is power and ignorence is pain and hurt. Children are sponges that absorb EVERYTHING around them. So if they're brought up surrounded by people who make hurtful, nasty remarks about people who look different, be it disability, race, even clothing , they will grow up with the same mindset! WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS!! Each and every single person deserves the right to be treated with respect and kindness. What you give out you get back ten fold. So next time you see someone who doesn't fit the sterotypical "normal" person remember we have hearts, we have a mind, we have souls....we are humans. Treat EVERYONE the way you want to be treated. BTW, found you guys a while ago but didn't start really istening til the last few months. You're amazing, as performers and as human beings. Your vids have lifted my spirits when they were low and always puts a smile on my face. I love behind the scenes and your from the vault series! THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

    This song is the anthem for every person ever bullied. Still brings tears to my eyes. I became suicidal at the age of ten from being bullied at school. All these years later, my mind is still blown from one of the bullies asked me about surgery and how to deal with it. Most bullies are trying to cope with their own pain, and the only way they know how to deal is by causing others pain. High school was even worse and I don’t know how anyone can say it’s the best years of their lives. Mine was college and getting out of that hell hole. My friend Kate died a few years ago. This was one of her favorite songs and I know she’d approve of this one, too.

I remember when it came out the first time and it's message was very strong then. The message now to me as an adult feels exactly the same. Thank you for sharing this song to the world Mark!! And Home Free, Awesome as always!!

    Being a mom of a young lady with DS, thank you for seeing the couple in your video as capable individuals, and exposing goodness as contagious. Individuals with different abilities are perfect and see everyone through innocent loving eyes. We should all want to be like them!

    Yes, I saw first hand the damage words can do to others. Children and adults with developmental disabilities have so very much to give, once you give them a chance. I love the song and it has touched my heart - where it will remain. Thank you from someone who worked with these marvelous people for over 40 years. This video is awesome ❤️

    Absolutely Beautiful! Not only is it Anti-Bullying month, it's also Downs Syndrome awareness month as well! I've been a long time Home Fry, and enjoy all of your phenomenal talent! This video made me cry! My Baby Girl has Downs, and Autism. She used to get bulled also. We all need a reminder to be kind. The love this boy shared is precious, and priceless! Thank you once again for your continued passionate music!

      What about this: drinkin' problem by Midland, collaborate with Lyane Stein from Voiceplay to take full lead will used his connected core will used his clear chest and little of his mixed for interval that the timing is just right at the beginning of each first letter and last letter with side registers of his higher and lower register with Adam Chance for his (not so heavy) rustic undertone that blend with the lead, high harmony by: Austin Brown, Rob Lundquit, Tim Foust will used his mixed of chest and growl for the bassline.

    One of my absolute favorite videos they've done yet. I still love Mark's voice all these years later. They picked the perfect song to do with him.
