I'm a grown man, and I watch this every once in awhile to make sure my tear ducts still work
GibsoLesPaulStandard yep. You and me both. Mine are still good, yours?
yep, mine work very well. Masterpiece
me too, love it
Mike too
My tears flood my surroundings within five seconds. I can't imagine life without my little brother. We often share sweet drinks, juices, teas, coffee and on special occasions, Blue label whiskey. With a little luck, we'll be able to toast our grandchildren.
Not sure an advert has ever gotten me genuinely teared up before...
right?
Because it's not an advert. It's a short artistic clip that's dressed up as an advert on purpose.
+Jex134 It bugs me that it was an advertisement. It's such a beautiful touching story that had 100% nothing to do with a company that makes whiskey.
The ads are getting smarter...
+herpderpmonkey It's not an ad. It wasn't made by the company. Just independent filmmakers.
It's not an advertisement a couple of high school students made it apparently for some contest.
My younger brother passed away in January. We are taking his ashes to spread them where he wished them to be spread, in a lake. This video hit home. He was my best friend.
I'm very sorry for your loss (even though it is a year later) - hugs
I watch this now and then. Not because I lost my brother, but to remind myself how much I love him and would miss him if he were not here. He is my best friend and I cannot image a life without him.
I am truly sorry for your loss, and I cannot image the pain you must feel. Know that he is still with you in the memories you have and in a way he will never truly leave you.
I don't know you, but I do know the pain. I lost my wife 2 months ago. Peace be with you and your family. I wish nothing but the best for you.
@@2009slug Man iam crying for you people now. I really hope you guys are doing better than before.
😢 I feel you man. I've lost my cousin a few years ago... He was the closest thing to a brother I've ever had... Life is tough but we got to move on. That's what they would want 😭
"Never let your memories--die. Never."
"In your mind, I am free."
Beautiful.
+Chris Howard Chillingly beautiful.
Chris Howard hurts so much- a good pain
Never been so inspired to continue with my alcoholism before.
+Johnny Threefour
"...and if your heart is full of sorrow keep [drinking]"
+Johnny Threefour LOL.
+Johnny Threefour You made my day. looooool
+Johnny Threefour keep drinking
+Johnny Threefour keep drinking
Chills. Beautiful stuff, guys. Super Bowl-ready.
+l
+lekoman Exactly what you said.
+Dustin Yoshimura then you shouldn't have become a Raiders fan. ZING
+Croco D. Ile I think you'll find it will be pretty hard for everybody bud.
+lekoman We don't give a shite about the super bowl in Scotland. No offence.
I watched this in 2017 and thought. Damn I need to talk to my little brother i haven't talked to him I while. He died in his sleep 12-14-19 . I talked to him a few times but never over dinner, coffee, or a football game. We were grown and had our lives in motion. Never had the time for each other. Now I wish I had time for our youths. I sit here wishing we talked about those free days of youth. Many people seen my little brother as a man.... I seen him as my baby brother. I had to do his eulogy it was the hardest. I will remember him always as my baby brother. I know know he's with our mother. Love you Chris.
I feel for you brother
Because so many asked for it. Here are the original lyrics from the poem. It was written by voice actor John "Bang" Reilly in collaboration with us.
+Dorian & Daniel Dear Brother
Walking the roads of our youth
through the land of our childhood, our home and our truth
Be near me, guide me
always stay beside me so i can be free, free
Lets roam this place
familiar and vast
our playground of green frames, our past
We were wanderers
never lost, always home
When every place was fenceless
and time was endless
our ways were always the same
Cool my demons and walk with me brother
until our roads lead us away from each other
and if your heart’s full of sorrow, keep walking, don’t rest
and promise me from heart to chest
to never let your memories die, never
I will always be alive and by your side,
in your mind
I'm free
+Dorian & Daniel FIRSTTTTTTTTT
+Dorian & Daniel John Reilly wrote the whole poem. How did you "collaborate" on the writing with him?
+Dorian & Daniel Absolutely beautiful. Tugs at the heart strings, it does.
+Bananas and Bass By collaborating on it. The same way multiple people can collaborate on a script, or on a treaty, or on legal papers. Don't be a dumb bear. Claws belong in paws you dumb bear.
You guys better start making movies.
+Senior Adrian Making a 2 minute long commercial with two actors is vastly different than making a movie............
That's like saying a person can be a professional F1 driver now just because he can drive a roadster well on the highway.
+Midnite Reveries Comparing driving a roadster well on a highway is vastly different than making this..........
Michael Hannon It isn't.
If you think making a good 2 minute commercial makes you qualified to make a full feature film with hundreds of thousands of dollars of budget and hundreds of people, you are insane.
Midnite Reveries Yeah well Ridley Scott started with commercials and then movies at 40s.
Senior Adrian No he did not............................
Seriously man do you even know what you are talking about?
Ridley Scott was famously working on Doctor Who and several TV shows for BBC before he founded his own commercial production company. But by then he was already a big shot in the film industry. He didn't just shoot commercials, he owned the commercial production company and already had years of experience with motion picture.
I work in the advertising and marketing industry and have done so for 30 odd years now. This piece is my gold standard. I've shared it dozens of times - to my team, peers, agency relationships, etc. as an example of how powerful advertising can be when done right. It works on so, so many levels. Virtuoso.
Thats definitelly a piece of art!
I shared with my team, it's simple inspiring how when the art of poetry combined with principles of advertising works. Super
Lost my brother to COVID earlier this year. I keep coming back to this video for comfort and solace.
I lost my younger brother ten years ago.I never fully grieved. When I watched this, it touched me deeply. I was able to have an emotional release that had been ten years in coming. Thank you for such a powerful and moving depiction of two brothers sharing memories and love.
Well now I am crying.
+love_lea_lyds me too
+Anton Eliasson Too scared to call the ho a bitch or what? grow some balls.
+love_lea_lyds I'm too high for this
Connor Kitchen HAHAHAH.
that was beautiful
+TryMike4instance you are beautiful you fuckin flower

Mark Squires Thank!
Mark Squires thank you! I lost my brother in 2007 and from time to time I come back to this commercial.
Thanks Mark.
This hits home. This was released 9 days after my big brother died. I miss him.
I don't have a brother. and this got me wishing I had one more than ever.....
+A. Eqabi Interesting. I had a similar response.
+A. Eqabi It makes me sad that I'm going to lose mine someday :(
+Patrick Barrett you will most likely grow old together, but you wont know who will go first, either way when your old you will accept its your time.
I'll be your bro, let's drink
+A. Eqabi unless...you have one that is a complete narcissistic tool. Then you probably wont be keen on having one. I could care less about mine. That is a truth that many cushy adverts wont shove in your face.
"He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would my brother. My brother, who loved bowling...Good night, sweet prince."
+Marty Yu he was at langdok?
+Marty Yu Mark it zero.
Marty, what is your Chinese name?
+Marty Yu what the fuck Walter? What the fuck was that shit about the Vietnam
I Lost a brother recently. I must have watched it a 1000 times since then. Find it comforting somehow.
frogger51505150 I lost my brother 4 years ago when he first passed someone sent me this I had to pull over and cry my eyes I couldn’t stop watching it somehow it made me feel closer n farther away the idea of being in sorrow would keep him closer to me it sounds crazy to say it out loud but I feel where your coming from every year I listen to it to keep him next to me. It keeps me from feeling guilty to go on with life without him. Keep strong
Same here Tony, lost my brother 4 years ago to cancer. I watch this video every few months and no matter how much I try not to, I always end up in tears watching it :(
Don't know if Johnnie Walker commissioned this, but they'd be stupid not to buy commercial time in the SuperBowl and play the FULL version of this... all 1 min 30 secs... they'd be talking bout this commercial for YEARS after.
just beautiful!
lol der alexi auch hier
Damnit! Who keeps cutting onions in here?
Hahaha, wow, you're so funny and original!
I feel ya 😓
+A very long username that covers 85% of the screen Your username covers roughly 0.8% of my screen, liar.
+A very long username that covers 85% of the screen Yeah? Bite me.
saltytrey Then take off your pants.
Our second son was stillborn at 39.5 weeks. We didn't know until we got to the hospital in labor. Our first is a redhead. Someone showed this to me at work a few months later and unlocked this longing for their relationship. It's been 7 years and this still breaks open my heart and makes me cry. Thank you for creating something with emotion.
I lost my younger brother last week, due to depression and suicide, its all very raw, and then a friend send me this .
Kapuf, hit in the stomach by a ton of emotion . I will watch this for the rest of my life.
What a brilliant piece of work. Respect , Dignity.
Sorry to hear that I find this a relaxing video although I have not lost my brother I don't even drink Jonny Walker whisky I find it very emotional
Walking the roads of our youth,
Through the land of our childhood, our home, and our truth,
Be near me, guide me, always stay beside me so I can be free.
Free...
Let's roam this place, familiar and vast,
Our playground of green frames are past,
We were wanderers. Never lost, always home,
And every place was fenceless and time was endless.
Our ways were always the same.
Call my demons and walk with me brother,
Until our roads lead us away from each other.
And if your heart's full of sorrow, keep walking. Don't rest.
And promise me from heart to chest to never let your memories,
Die. Never.
I will always be alive and by your side. In your mind,
I am free.
I read this poem at my brother's funeral. I know it's just a commercial but, it is very touching.
"When every place was fenceless, and time was endless" - Masterpiece! The two very things, marred by paucity!
It is now a little over a year ago that I walked along most of the places shown here, the Quiraing, the Storr, and Kilt Rock. My uncle had unexpectedly died shortly before. We didn't see each other often but whenever we did he always had life-changing advice on whatever it was I was struggling with or worried about, and so he was very dear to me. We shared a passion for history, travelling, and good whisky. My aunt entrusted me with some of his ashes so that I could say my final goodbye in a place and time that I would think to be fitting. Sitting on the edge of the Trotternish Ridge, in authentic Scottish rainy and gusty weather, I poured two glasses of Laphroaig, clinked mine with the other and I said all the things that I still had wanted to say to my uncle and thanked him for everything he had done for me. I haven't thought much about him since. Not because I don't miss him, but more because I had said everything I wanted a year ago and had moved past my grief. This video, however, brought me right back to that precious moment on that ridge in the Scottish rain, for which I'm very grateful, Daniel and Dorian. Please never stop bringing back to life people's most cherished memories through your work, as you did for me with this 'ad'. The only thing my uncle would have disapproved of, would have been your choice to promote Johnnie Walker rather than Laphroaig. ;)
There's whisky. And then there's Laphroaig.
My 17 year old son sent this to me--he lost his brother 2 years ago. In deference to the superficial comments below, this brief tribute, albeit a whiskey commercial, has a deeper meaning to many. Thanks.
I am moved every time I watch this. Thank you.
same everytime..as in i come back to watch it every once in a while
its the best commercial i've seen and really sad one!
It's a fan made video, not a commercial
I cried ! I'm not going to lie, I cried deeply! It was my father's favorite liquor. He left abruptly in August 2021, and I still can't get over his departure. We were great friends and so complicit. This video sums up exactly my dad and I...
I lost my brother one year ago, and watching that video makes me cry, because I really missing him. Some kind of peace too, the feeling, always and forever.
Absolutely one of the best commercials made for whiskey.
I still revisit this poem. So profoundly beautiful.
My brother is currently stationed In Germany and just watching this reminds me oh how much I miss and love him but also reminds me that he is doing what he loves and wants
Walking the roads of our youth.
Through the land of our childhood our home and our truth.

Call my demons and walk with me brother, until our roads lead us away from each other, and if your heart is full sorrow, keep walking don’t rest, and promise me from heart to chest to never let your memories... die.
Never.

+9385dee7 there you go guys. What a power piece.
+9385dee7 thx
Thank you.
Hey, it's actually 'cool' my demons, the original lines are written further below by someone involved in the production. Idk if you can update your comment though
Cull my demons...i think. Well done though, was looking for this.
I lost my childhood best friend last November, mother in-law Christmas Eve, and uncle (godfather and best friend) in May. All you can do is wake up every day and be sure to try to do better than the day previous. Create happiness by helping everybody around you and be sure to laugh. I hope the best for all of you!
Every now and then i watch this video and always the tears come at once. It reminds me of my best friend who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in 1992 when we were 27. Now i turn 58 and even it is more then 30 years ago i still cry like a child thinking of him seeing this clip. RIP Paul🙏🙏

Well put.
Johnnie Walker does not make ads, they tell stories.
This always cuts me to the quick. Right in the feels.
My brother is fortunately still here with me and this poem still levels me. Cannot even begin to fathom what some of the folks over here must be going through. All my love and strength to you all. Every brother in the world sends their love to your grieving soul. Hope it brings you some light.
Still never fails to make me sad and make me wish I had a brother
You guys....this video is so beautiful...
You perfectly captured that emotion...wow.
You made me feel how I really feel about my older brother...how did you do that?
I seriously have tears in my eyes...wow.
Thank you.
+Luke Pratt you missed one wow...
+Nick Lopez you probably don't have a brother to connect the emotions of this video to, don't try to be an ass to someone for being awestruck by powerful emotions. makes you look bad.
Denn Green III you probably like to proof to others that you're an intelligent person and can relate to other people's feelings, but you're not an intelligent person and you're just an attention seeker because you feel empty on the inside... makes you look bad. FYI i do have an older brother.
Makes me think of life, my youth, the places I haven't been in years, the faces I haven't seen in a decade. Life move so fast. Stop and enjoy it.
Best video online right now. I can't stop watching it.
I like to visit this stunning piece of advertising every now and then. The combination of the incredibly talented Renée Abe and Jonny Bang Reilly is a gift. D&D outstanding.
Did a 1:30 long video seriously just put tears in my eyes?
For some reason i keep coming back to this in my darkest of times. It's a comfort blanket of sorts. Thank you for this piece of art.
one of the most impressive and sadest ad ive ever seen. Unendlich Traurig und unendlich schön zugleich. Super Werk was da abgeliefert wurde. Die eindruckvolle schwere die die Musik vermittelt und die Wundervolle Landschaft tun ihr übriges.
genuinely started tearing at the end. Reminds me of my cousin who I was so close with. Closer that I am with my brother he was older than me and liver overseas. I went to meet him every year in my summer holidays and we would spend the whole time completely relaxed and enjoying life. Until one day he was killed by some thieves. Still trying to get over it. But I dont think I ever will, of that I ever want to...
love this, my buddy passed almost 4 months ago now so its tough watching. he was my brother, maybe not by blood but the brotherhood was forged in a different way
Watching this advert had a profound effect on me. Having lost my brother tragically some 20 years back, its as if this was sent to me by him, he even looked similar. I cried bucket loads of tears, but found it very comforting somehow. Beautifully done, with great insight.
I come back to this from time to time; it never fails to make me cry. I haven’t spoken to my brother in ten years. I miss him terribly, or maybe I miss who I imagine him to be. I went through my life always being reminded I was a bother to him, and when you’re pushed away long enough you finally leave. I always wanted a brother who loved me, because - as other people have come and gone in life - I knew he’d always be there. It was just a dream, I guess.
Hey MP Fann, me too. i come back here to watch this amazing video and let it move me. I am sorry you are so distanced from your brother. Words are never enough. I feel for you. Peace my friend, from across the miles. ss (west coast of canada)
The scenes. The emotional camaraderie between brothers. The short contained story. And perhaps the best ultimate pay-offs I've ever seen.
This is truly one of the best spots I've watched ever.
I need to know what poem/song the narration is from. So rad.
+Dorian & Daniel As a late blooming filmmaker - this is one of the finest pieces of work I've seen in a very long time. All aspects executed perfectly. I was left speechless and with a tear in my eye. Well done! Care to share the specifics of acquisition, editing, post production?
+Dorian & Daniel Is it possible that you guys place the full text in the description? Awesome work, It's been a long time since i've actually was left with goosebumps after a commercial!
+Dorian & Daniel Well let me tell you that I think its a fantastic piece. I've written it down so I can remember it. Thank you for this.
+Firehouse Creative I don't think so, rotoscoping is an animation technique in which animators trace over footage frame by frame. This doesn't look animated...
Rotoscoping is also used to "cut" things out frame by frame. Often how the get rid of wires in movies.
Stunning. The narration, the writing, the cinematography. Absolutely breathtaking.
These are the kind of advertisements I long for! 🔥✨
Great eye. Great cinematography, lovely music choices and great poetry. Going to subscribe because i am excited for your future. Well done.
IT IS RAINING ON MY FACE. Beautiful
This is incredible. Thank you so much for this.
Ein langjähriger Freund ist vor wenigen wochen nach langer Krankheit gestorben (bzw er durfte endlich nach all seinen Schmerzen gehen) und was gibt mir youtube vor, das Video. Ich seh nichts vor Tränen.
Ich hab mit dem Menschen mehr Zeit verbracht als mit meinem Bruder... Danke für das Video. Das ist Seelenqual und Seelenreinigung zugleich!
Probably one of the best commercials I have ever seen

This popped up in my "on this day" on Facebook. A year ago I shared this and no one commented. Today I watched it once more, and shed tears again. So beautiful. The music is on point.
That's what brought me back too, cheers
same. typically, scrolling through my facebook memories evoke feelings of “meh”, some are downright cringey - but THIS. I have replayed the ad no fewer than 5x tonight- each time the feels it evokes are as powerful as the last. this is a work of art, timeless and thoughtful. I’m better for having viewed it, and I will continue to share it. every aspect of the video- the words, music, landscape, lighting, and subject matter - masterfully orchestrated. bravo.
Best speech ever for brothers. Dear christ, I'm sobbing right now... "cool my demons and walk with me brother, until our roads lead us away from each other" ❤
Whoever wrote this is a genius
Whenever I want to feel why I once upon a time wanted to work in the advertising business as a copywriter, I watch this film. This film is it. It's epic.
Today, after 25 years of experince, I have found another road for my skill; Working with fudraising for visually impaired. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Thank you for this. I lost my closest aunt a few days ago and stumbled upon this on RUclips this morning. Really thank you for this beautiful work. It has given me some peace at heart. God bless!
your beautiful Kimberly. im so sorry for your loss. 😥
This is the most beautiful commercial ever conveyed.
The commercial that Johnnie Walker did, "This Land" was also incredible as well, I would take that one by a hair but they are both fantastic.
Illmatic662 I'll have to check it out, thanks mate
Kyle Ferriter
Awesome, i think you'll appreciate it.
As beautiful an ad as I have ever seen. Shared between my brothers who years ago lost a brother and days ago lost a mother...
Это что-то! Полторы минуты а такой глубокий смысл. Очень сильно. Спасибо
And so, Theodore Donald Karabotsos, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.
Oh shit Dude I'm sorry
Goddamn wind
Fuck
Atlantic Ocean?
The Isle of Skye on the west of Scotland, so it is the Atlantic ocean.

+The Hoax Hotel Say, friend - you got any more of that good sarsaparilla?
Well I'm crying now. Thanks a lot.
I remember when I saw this I said to myself 'Jhonny walker ads are always perfect but man this is on whole different level'
Never thought i will be here, again.!
Listening to this, again! But this time i guess i understand it more deeply, when you lost someone so dearly.
I wish my own brother find his peace coz i still can in this living realm.
It's really just a commercial. But it was so beautiful and touching :')
The thing is..... it’s actually just student-made.
great now im back to drinking..
+Saul Meyers Thats up to you :)
I'd like the comment but the number of likes is already so perfect... "69"
+John Westerlund I know, I choose the drink.
Wow, I commented 8 yrs ago and this vid can still make me tear up. Probably because I've lost more people now...
poignant and heart strings tugging. this is johnny walker through and through.
I listen to this from time to time and then send it to my twin brother ❤️ vant imagien a World without out bond...
Great work and still 3 years going
This is beautiful, the voicing, the pacing, even the musical accompaniment whilst never overshadowing the any part is blended perfectly. Its sad and i have to say its honestly amazing, thank you for this.
most beautiful brotherhood scene i've ever watch
cry cry cry
Yeah, the germans know how to make a great ad!!!
So emotional, I love it...

Commenting on RUclips videos is a silly thing. Heck, engaging in just about any online forum can be a mistake. But this video compelled me.
This is absolutely beautiful, and it really hits home. You see, I lost my brother six years ago. I still find myself wondering about our shared experiences and the things we did together. We were close. All my brothers are close. But we each had moments alone with one another that the others didn't experience, and so we hold on to those moments with our brother.
Not only that but the last house I lived in with him burned to the ground, and the only "home" in this video looks to have a similar look to what our home looked like after the fire... Man, this is well done.
Thank you
This ad makes me want to take up drinking so that I can tangentially support these guys.
I lost my old brother 27.03.2024...i watch this and crying, so many things i want to tell him..... Precious your time guys, this can be over in any moment
Fan-fucking-tastic. Brilliant poem, music, video. So much respect for this
This was amazing. That’s all I can say without tripping over my words. I really miss brother! He was my little partner in crime growing up love ya Johnny & I miss ya

watching this a second time, the part where they were in the woods and the younger brother vanished for a moment and you could see the look of fear on the older brothers face for briefly thinking his brother had left his side hit me the hardest. haven't had my heartstrings hit like that in a long time.
this is like one of those goosebump giving adverts they play in the cinema before the movie... so awesome :)
Dorian, Daniel, Robin, Mathew and others who made it.
Thank you for such a sencere and very melancholy video.
I've translated your poem into Russian, maybe not very literally, but how I was feeling this. I hope it will be useful for Russian viewers.
По дорогам юности проходя,
по следам детства и истин, у домашнего очага.
Со мной будь, направляй, куда идти,
стой рядом, помоги свободу обрести.
Пойдем, мой брат, скитаться там,
где целый мир, знакомый нам.
играли, жили и росли. Поля нам эти домом были.
За разом раз бродить тайком,
но этот путь нам был как дом.
За горизонтом - горизонт,
за часом - час, и путь всегда знаком.
Плечом к плечу, мои переживания подави,
развилка разлучит нас впереди.
Печаль на сердце давит изнутри,
но ты иди, не отдыхай, молю, иди.
Прошу от сердца к сердцу слово дать:
воспоминания не будут умирать.
Тогда я жив, пусть лишь в сознании ореол,
но навсегда.
Свою свободу я обрел.
this is the most beautiful commercial i've ever seen!
Hervorragend. Das ist seit Jahren der erste Werbespot, der mir eine Gänsehaut gemacht hat. Meisterwerk!
this is a true piece of art
Проходя дорогами нашей молодости,
По землям нашего детства, нашей родины и нашей искренности
Будь со мной рядом, будь моим проводником,
Всегда будь рядом со мной, тогда я смогу быть свободным,
Вольным.
Давай побродим по этому месту,
Знакомому и необъятному.
Месту, где мы играли, и проводили детство.
Мы были странниками,
Мы не могли потеряться - везде был дом.
Когда нигде не было заборов и границ,
А время было бесконечным,
Наши пути всегда были едины.
Успокой моих демонов и иди со мной, брат,
Пока наши дороги не уведут нас друг от друга,
И если сердце твоё полно печали, продолжай идти, не стой,
И обещай мне от всего сердца,
Что не позволишь воспоминаниям обо мне умереть,
Никогда.
Я всегда буду живым и всегда буду рядом,
В твоих мыслях и памяти.
Я свободен.
