So normally I strongly dislike Luda with the exception of Crash, but this song is amazingly powerful.

Thoughts?

Good song, except the end when he whispering and stuff about running away together and opening eyes and stuff. That part sounds pedophilic, honestly.

Haha yea it does a little.

The video makes the song, I think. Except I think if they didn't give the kids such nice looking rooms it would add more effect. Even my room doesn't have that nice of stuff in it _dry.gif

Yeah that threw me off even though it's Luda's label.

I thought the video was pretty well done though. The song's not bad either.
 
showstopper!

A lot of people saw the parallels, too. The song's not a rip-off, but there are similarities. ermm.gif

Yeah, it kind of threw me off when he said "Sometimes I want to run away, too." Um...why?

And about the video, the video does sort of make the song. I saw the video before listening to the song by itself, and ever since then, whenever I listen to the song, the video is all I see, so I guess that's altered my opinion.

i haven't watched the video yet, but just the song itself to me was really unexpected from luda, but i'm a big fan of mary j and i also like luda, and i really like the song because it actually has meaning versus *shake your money maker* or *smack that*

I fell in love with the song, and the video put together pretty much the moment I heard it. Such a beautiful song, with a very strong message.
I don't think the video made the song, but I think that the visual impact of it definatly strengthened the song. I am almost obsessed with this song, but I dont know if I would be quite as in love..if I didnt have the visual of it...becuase it illustrates the end a little, and the video kind of explains the song throughout.

(if that makes any sense... ermm.gif )

When I first heard it, I judged it by the kid quick rhymes and thought it was annoying. But now...I love the song.
