RAIN IT DOWN
It is beautiful! And it goes by so fast, but I guess that’s what life feels like sometimes.
Great find!
Posted this the other day as well. Said well, beautifully put together, telling a great story of a woman’s life. Ad or not.
Thanks for sharing this. Well spent 90 sec.
OK most commercials, and videos for that matter, lose my attention in the first 15 seconds. That one owned me the whole time.
I cried… uh oh, you know what they say about a woman cries at commercials… maybe I better run to the drug store. LOL
I found this ad really sad for a different reason.
It was the wedding shot. In previous years i have seen may many ads showing wedding scenes. This is one of many that are showing weddings in a Registry Office rather than a traditional church.
I know why they are doing this. It is just a sign of the times that church weddings are becoming less desirable in the UK.
It’s sad.
But it is a beautiful advert.
great song. “she’s always a woman” always makes me cry.
I love it – so English
I miss home.
I hugged my 19 year old son goodbye this morning as he boarded a plane to a 3-month internship 1400 miles away. This soooo captures my thoughts today. I do clearly remember the moment I first saw him, the way he smelled the day he was born, the first time he held his arms up to me, the day he first boarded a school bus, the day he first denied my hug goodbye in front of his middle school friends, the day I rode along on his road test, the day I pressed his graduation gown.
Life speeds by at a glorious, delirious pace.
I really enjoyed this. Kinda made me think of how quickly life goes by and how we should make the most of every day and not sweat the small stuff. And for a single girl like me who often wants to move on to the next season of life – marriage, it’s made me realize that season will be here before I know it, so I should enjoy my life now.
I also loved the interracial couple at the end. That’s the world I live in and it was nice to see that reflected in an ad.
Super beautiful. Love it!
Amazing. Having a few kids of my own, often times, this is exactly how life feels. Racing, hurrying, and time passes faster than you’d like. Thanks for the post. I dig the video.
that was one of the best things ive seen in a very long time! beautiful!
Wow. That video made me want to cry.
You’re right, Los. “Amazing.”
Side note: the music, and the imagery combined are what made an impression on my heart.
oh man. longtime lurker of your blog (you are so inspiring, btw) but just had to comment. hope you don’t mind if i repost on my blog.
Very nice. I liked the way they made her character wear the same color the whole time.
