And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

    Man, I needed that! Very nice.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Boooo to those Aussie cops who tried to ban the hugs! :p
    I also really enjoyed that song.......
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    That was really touching. I'm sending it everywhere. Thanks for posting it.

    Didn't do anything for me, but I can see why others would probably feel something from it.

    I love it.

    It reminds me of this guy who stands at around 1st & Columbia here is Seattle holding a sign reading...

    "SMILE"

    Of course, everytime I see him I do.

    He just doesn't know it makes me think of Pearl Jam.

    Love the hug video and love this reply....we need more people like this in the world. I have been sending out the video to all my friends, but not as a bulk mail. I was in Peru a year back and everybody hugged eachother there. Some hugs were quite loose while others (with friends and family) tighter. But I always loved to hug even those I didnt know well.

    Lets get rid of shaking hands and start hugging!!!
    Why not be mediocre and be the best at it that you can be?

    When I was in town today I saw someone giving away free hugs I would have hugged him but I had a cold :(

    I loved the running hugs! It's always nice to see men hug as well. :)
