In a sea of "eh's" and "pretty cool's" this is extraordinary.

This is beautiful. Breathtaking. Raw.

It grabs your face and demands you pay attention. "Don't blink," it says. Don't miss a single second of this nearly 8-minute masterpiece. Because it's important, and it's touching and done with nothing but sincerity.

It took so many people to produce this video. So much effort in an age when publishing is nearly effortless for most. This wasn't think, laugh, post. It was work, work, work, work until it's perfect.

For all those reasons I think this is beautiful. I think it's exceptional when there is so much sameness we see online every day. This is so far away from the Harlem Shake craze, so original that halfway through I had this tingling feeling in my feet that this was truly something special. It never let me down.
