      I really appreciate the enormous effort you must put into making these videos. Hats off to you sir.
      If you'd like to treat your guests to something utterly different, maybe have them react to a Defqon 1 endshow (I recommend the 2019 one). It's one of the largest Hard Style festivals in The Netherlands and the endshows never fail to deliver when it comes to the music, the light show, and the fireworks. It is an amazing thing to experience in real life. Tens of thousands of people dancing to the same beat. One Blood, One Love, One Tribe.

      I completely understand.. but at same time, it’s like getting mad you have to brush your teeth. There’s just a percentage of people’s commentary that is always going to be negative or lacking in basic consciousness. It’s getting worse, as the consumption of media & corruption of minds- literally people are getting unaccustomed to basic conversation skills. It is changing their brains. You are a rare island of good & quality content on the internet. But I sit here & often hope that these tribal people’s exposure is limited.. & doesn’t lead them to an endless amount in their off time. Their lives are better without 99.99% of the interactions & content on the internet at large. If it helps you to always clap back at the silly people, I get it. But I wish you didn’t have to have the negative impact at all.

      It wasn't the working class that did the injustices, since they had a status similarly to a slave. He wanted the root of the hatred to intervene with itself, naturally the feds didn't care to stop fanning the flames of bigotry.
      Nowadays the same elites that profited of racism, slavery and child labor are blaming the working class and the poor for every bad thing those elites have done.

    I never heard the sadness in his voice and performance until they pointed it out. There's a whole new dimension to this song for me now - his bared grin, sometimes forced and sometimes genuine, the times it falters, the grumble in his voice being one of pain rather than... aesthetic(?), the insistence that there is hope in and for the world even despite all the hardships. I'll never hear this song the same way again

      I always felt this song must be what God thinks as she looks down. It isn’t that the nature and the town aren’t beautiful: or indeed that the world isn’t wonderful. It is that the wonderful world is so scarred and destroyed by evil. The repetition of “It’s a wonderful world” is very like the repetition of “and God saw that it was good” in Genesis. I’d actually never seen the performance, but you can hear the tightness in his voice on the recording. Other artists of course, have interpreted the song differently: most of them do interpret it as happy, or at least hopeful. But Armstrong’s version is definitely melancholic: lamenting how the wonders of the world are destroyed by ignorance and malice.

      @@applejuice3562 Technically, it was more than a few years (apologies if I go too general here; trying to make it accessible to those who may not have any familiarity). "Blues" is thought to have emerged in the 1860s, from the work songs and spiritual hymns of the enslaved African-American community, which themselves contained many elements of varieties of traditional African music. As you can imagine, such songs involved a lot of sadness, as being enslaved along with all your family and friends in a hostile land is a very sad business. Blues created the "blues form", which involved things like specific "blues" scales and the 12-bar "blues" chord structure, which would come to underlie much of the later "jazz".
      "Jazz" emerged around the turn of the 20th century, and owed a great deal to both "blues" and "ragtime" (another type of music, mostly played on the piano). "Jazz" is most notable for the extensive use of improvisation in its songs, as most involve at least one section where each player gets a featured solo, made up on-the-spot and usually unique to each and every performance.
      "Blues" continues to be its own genre, too, so "jazz, "blues", "rock", etc. all continue to influence and be influenced by each other.

He'd probably end up a big fan of jazz music tbh, as it's not something easily digestible by the vast majority of listeners IMO.

      There's definitely an edge of bitter sadness to this song, but I think it just accentuates the joy. It's a wonderful world full of wonderful things, and at some point we all have to leave it. That's very sad, but it also makes the time we do have that much more precious to us. Sometimes there is beauty in impermanence itself. There is also the question of how, with so much natural beauty and the wonders of kindness and friendship around us, we can still be so committed to ugly and senseless hate. It's a beautiful world, but it is sad that we choose to make it less beautiful than it might be, for absolutely no good reason. There's some grief for that lost beauty and joy here, I think.

    So, here is something I have always told my kids when the subject of racism has come up:
    If you were blind and heading straight for a cliff, would you care about the colour of the person attached to the hand that pulled you back from toppling over the edge to certain doom?
    All that matters is that the people we meet are kind and loving, and that we do unto others as we would want them to do unto us.

    You just opened a giant new world of music to these kind people. Jazz is possibly one of the best inventions out of America - it's been the inspiration for music of all types, but especially rock. The African-American community also invented zydeco, blues, rap, and rhythm & blues music over the past 150 years. There has been a lot of pain in those years, and the music often shows it, but it's a gift to the world that will continue to amaze people for centuries to come, ensuring that history lives on through music.

    From New Orleans... Having taken Louis A. and this song for granted for all of my life, it is not until seeing this reaction video that I really saw the full range of emotion that Louis is putting into it, the true joy in the beauty of the world but also the forced smile and barely suppressed tears as he must look past the darkness to see it. Sometimes you truly do have to see your own world through the eyes of a stranger to perceive what is right in front of your face. BTW this is like the fourth of your videos in this series I have watched and I am totally enchanted. The care you put into presenting our world to them as accurately as possible without being condescending and their obvious fascination and often wisdom about what they are seeing gives me hope for the future like nothing else I have seen recently.

      from NYC (we do jazz too, you might've heard). and, you are spot on. i've heard this song countless times, and this 'outside view' has totally shifted my understanding of the whole thing. now, there's more of a dragging, 'funeral march' tone to the music, and an almost 'forced joy' in his delivery. kinda like the lies we have to tell ourselves some days that allow us to hang on to a thread of Hope in an utterly horrible world. this is getting complex. i need a nap.

    Thank you. I actually listened to this song earlier tonight, but the version by The Ramones. It makes me cry from the very depths of my heart, for in a spiritual world, it is not saddness that makes us cry, but rather happiness. Seeing compassion and joy, people who actually truly care about the fate of humanity and our Mother Earth Gaia, and are doing things to make a change for the better. Louis wasn't sad, he had a dream, one where there was no war, no chaos, no starving, to sickness, just kindness, peace, love, and joy. The same dream Martin Luther King Jr and John Lennon had. I too have had such a dream. I cry at the beauty of thr dream and want that always. But when I wake up and see the chaos outside in the waking life, that sadness causes no tears, but rather frustration and annoyance. But if I focus on that energy, it creates resistance then eventually stagnation where I am no longer moving forward. The point for all of us Dreamers, is to keep moving forward, to turn the Dream into our reality. These videos help to bridge the gap between cultures and allow Americans to see the perspective of the Tribes and for the Tribes to understand American ideals. That is a big step forward that makes my heart happy. When I watch these videos, I want to be there in the tribal lands with these compassionate people, I believe they would understand my spiritual beliefs and practices more than Americans.

      Hip hop used to be about dancing in 1979 but in the 90s teens changed hip hop culture and now it’s about weed and lust

    It's amazing how they can see the pain behind his smile. It touched my heart that they notices the pain and hardship behind the smiling mask. It is how a lot of us with black skin live in America, smiling on the outside while caring the hurt (this country of hatred give us) in our heart

      Is that something that could be shared with others? I'm very interested to learn more about both Muslim religion and Pakistani culture if possible
      I recently moved to a very diverse area in Canada, many of my new neighbors and coworkers are from different countries or regions within their home countries, but have in common their religion.
      I don't want to always be asking questions and make them feel uncomfortable, the way people always made me feel uncomfortable, growing up in an immigrant family in a mostly white town, so I follow a lot of channels of people from different cultures/countries
      I love learning about Pakistani culture from this channel (even from the comments I learn so much) and Islam is so much a part of it, so if it's acceptable, please continue the cultural sharing in this way as well 🙏🙏🙏
      If not, I apologize for overstepping, I am still learning 🙇

    This song makes me cry whenever I hear it. They are incredibly insightful to pick up on the sadness behind his eyes because the world was very hard for Blacks in our country at this time, very few black people had influence with the exception of a few remarkable musicians, like Louis Armstrong. However, he still had to play music for the white audiences, and for them at the time, they were clinging to this idealistic America, which was racist, and intentionally blind to the suffering of Black people. But nothing, and I mean NOTHING, has influenced music more worldwide than American Jazz from the 20’s through the 60s and 70s.
    I would show them some Ella Fitzgerald! She collaborated with Louis Armstrong constantly, plus she herself was an unbelievable singer. “God Bless the Child” has a strong message about generosity and selfishness during times of poverty (the world had not forgotten the Great Depression) but she also has many very famous songs about love and sensuality in an acceptably chaste way for the 60’s. And again-Jazz was the only place you would ever hear a slightly naughty song like “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.” What a time period for music in History!
    I love Jazz and listen to the classics to this day in my everyday life because I had a choir teacher in high school who really helped me flourish personally and she incorporated a ton of jazz into the swing choir I was a part of. But MANY Americans still listen to jazz from this era because it’s so iconic and can’t really be beat-especially around the Christmas holidays. Most Americans only listen to jazz in winter for some reason. Haha.
    Hope you are all well, my friends! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Everyone looked really great in this video. 😊 glad to see everyone looking healthy and happy.

      When I hear “They’re really saying ‘ I love you’ “, that gets me in the feels. On a side note, my great grandfather did a ton of recordings with him for Decca records in the early 1900’s.
