Its 2024 now. We survived🎉🎉🎉but I'm crying rivers..... this song is as relevant now as it ever was.... I'm crying because of the love in this song. The beautiful beautiful love of humanity. Tears of love and joy. Thank you, and great love to you all
I think this is perhaps the most significant song of 2020
100%agree❤️❤️❤️❤️
💯
Exactly
TOTALLY! Such a perfect song for 2020
Agreed. Even now at the end of March 2022, I cry when I watch this and feel so tender toward all of us. Thank you.
I lost my wife of 55 years on March 23. She never woke up, but we could be with her until her heart stopped. I get through most days OK. But making calls to get people to vote can only go so far to keep me from thinking of this new life. Thank you for your heart felt song. I will keep going on. For now there is nothing else. Allen
How brave of you to keep YOUR heart open even in the midst of such profound grief that you can keep making GOTV calls. Your wife was lucky to have you as her partner.
Bless you, Allen. You’re in my prayers. Keep going on.
💔❤️ I’m so very sorry for your loss, James! I have been there and understand your grief! God bless you and keep you!
All my best James. We lost my mom too. But we have to keep going on. On thru the pain and then pass thru any guilt there is and allow the sadness and the anger, oh, the anger is a tough one. Then we come out with a wide open heart, like she says. ❤️
❤️🙏🏽
For those who don't realize, this is a pure act, a spontaneous creative moment full of love, shared, and so very appreciated by this isolated artist and soul. I see you. I hear you. And I thank you...
Didn't expect to cry. But when she says, "Are you okay?" the tears came, the emotion rose, and I let it out and let it go ...
Yeah, I definitely cried. "If your heart is breaking, I hope it's breaking open..." Yeah.
Same. And I am still weeping.
Same here, so great!
Thank you
Yeah, I wasn't really expecting that either
At first I thought, "Look at these adorable, silly hippies." And then when she started in with "Are you alright? Are you okay? Are you alright? Are you okay?" I lost it. I was a blubbering mess by the end of it. Thank you for the much needed heal-cry!
Yes~ me, too!
Yes. I thought "These people look like goofballs. This will definitely be some sort of silly song to start my morning." Nope. it touched my heart and made me cry.
Yes, truly profound lyrics, and just much needed all around. WOW.
Likewise...
Me too.
This has become my go to song for emotional catharsis. It releases tears that are reluctant to fall. Thank you both for sharing your hearts with us.
Me too Sunshine day.
Me too. Every time I listen to it, I end up sobbing my eyes out in a good way. It’s exactly the kind of song I’ve needed for these past two and a half years.
Literally god os all in this song we are so blessed to have people like this in this world!!
right there with you. drops me into my heart every time.
Me too! 🥹🥲
Everytime I watch this and she asks me how I am it touches right into the depths of my soul and makes tears fill my eyes.
Every time.
Exact moment I teared up too.
Every single time
"If your heart is breaking, I hope it's breaking open." "Enough good memories to last a long time" Your happiness IS like pollen, THANK YOU for bringing me a flood of tears that needed to flow while at the same time bringing pure joy to my heart. May you all be richly blessed.
These are the EXACT lines that struck my soul and brought so many tears. Sending healing hugs and tears from Portland
Yeah that broke me because it shines a light on our alone-ness. And to hear somebody reach you in that spot in care and care for you in about you wow. Like somebody else wrote" I was a blubbering idiot"
Yes, I needed to hear these words. My friend is on hospice, brain cancer, I am thankful for this song
This is the keep going on song. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going on....song. 👋👏👏👏👏👏👏my 100th time back here visiting and turning on yet another friend to my favorite happy/sad song, EVER! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💚
I never post comments, but I feel compelled to now. Wow. Just wow. What an amazing pair of human beings. Thank you
yeah! exactly.
+10000000 (THANKS, all the way from Argentina)
Yes!
same to me! 💞
Thank you ❣️God bless you 🕊️ 🌈🕊️
THANK YOU ! I'm a professor at Berklee College of Music in Boston. I played your video to my students in class today. You lifted our spirits, you made us laugh ("we are making it up as we go"), and also allowed us to shed some tears. Thank you, today (election night)we really needed this.
This is like a real, huge, long-ass hug in song form, the kind where you rock back and forth and fist your fingers in the back of the other person's shirt to keep them close. I haven't cried like this in a while, wow. Thank you both so much.
You sound like a songwriter, Eleanor. Love your words. xo
This song is a prayer, a reckoning, a heart opening shot of emotion and realness. I find myself coming back to it again and again, weeping each time. Deep gratitude to you both for this creation.
So very well said.
As do I! It helps to keep me going!
Me too. Today I'm a puddle. Last time I was holding my phone up and dancing around my house. Pure Empowerment! Today I felt your comment A prayer, a reckoning. I hadn't felt it this way, yet.
well put. I feel the same way ♥️
Me too. This song truly is one of those songs that in many hearts (mine included) keeps going... keep going... keep going...
I don’t think you truly understand how many people you’ve saved by providing a space for hidden emotions, genuine giggles, and love😭
Thank you for your vulnerability and for giving us this song to come back to when shit continues to hit the fan.
I wish you and all of your loved ones so much joy, abundance, and constant happiness🌻♥️🦋
"I hope your body is whole tonight." Recovering from surgery on my breast for a recent cancer diagnosis, teaching in person in a pandemic...I needed this so badly. Thank you.
I am waiting on my breast cancer test results for the second time. Hang in there, you aren't alone. xo
❤❤❤
Oh, sweetheart. I wish that you didn’t have to be this strong.
You will get through this. We will all get through this.
I had breast cancer surgery 7-19, finished radiation 10-19, and even though I see my scar everyday, I rarely think about it and I hope you reach that place soon, too. Sending love from San Diego. ♥️
As a fellow teacher, I cannot imagine the strength you have mustered to do what you do. I have not been asked to teach in person and I just hold you in my best, best thoughts. Wishing you healing and strength and even joy.
I absolutely love you so very much. My niece sent this to me after I lost my daughter to suicide. I listen to you a lot. I love you. God Bless you 💖
I sit here tonite alone in my home, having been released from the hospital for Covid. What a gift I just received from u two, and my beautiful friend who sent me this.
In the morning, this will play for my close friend who is in ICU for Covid for at least two more weeks. Thank you. Blessings. Please keep going on.
May you find ease and mending time... Indeed, this song is a treasure>
Listening again. I have stage 4 cancer. I don’t feel ill except as a result of treatment. But just nowI feel sad and a bit angry too. Thanks for this song. I loved it when I first heard it and found it again today. Xx hope you are fine. Geraldine
I hope you managed to get through it
I just came across this in 2024 and wow. This was such a beautiful, creative expression. This brought up so much emotions. I love artistry and such beautiful voices. Thank you
My first ever public comment on any media platform: Thank you. This is exactly what art is for. You're both generous and I know the love in this song will connect friends, families, and communities. Keep on.
Exactly what Americans, if not the world, needs to hear. Thank you.
Definitely not only Americans. *waves from Eastern Europe*
A new friend sent this to me. It is like a prayer. It’s beautiful. Thank you for imparting this to us ♥️ we’re all just making this up as we go♥️♥️♥️
All World should to hear 💚💜💙❤️🤍🌈🌈
Hearing from France🙋♀️
Lockdown, my dad and my sister hospitalized for months, meanwhile job struggling. i first listened to this song yesterday and for the first time in months I cried. thank you. a big hug from Italy.
This is what music is all about...feeling blessed and connected
Me too. I've been numb for weeks and weeks and weeks and this broke me open inside. I feel you
Praying for your dad and sister's healing and recovery. Be strong in the Lord. 🙏❤️
I'm so sorry, Anna.
Sending love back to you from New York, northern Westchester. May your dad and sister heal fully!
I came upon this song in 2020 when I had covid along with my children. Thank you. Still listening in 2024. Absolutely beautiful!
What a gift my son sent me when he sent me this link. I am 73, quarantining alone, and you spoke for me, and for all of us out here. Love.
I am available for adoption.
me first!
Me too. I have a sleeping bag and my own toiletries....
I'm getting in line too.
Haaaa - and I am happy to be the caboose in that amazing line :)))
Me toooo! ; )
"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it."
~Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince and Night Flight (and many more.)
Take that step. Keep going on.
Thank you, bengsons.
When she sings I hope you are with someone, or have memories...paraphrasing here. That's me. My husband of 54 years died of Covid in April. I have memories.Boy do I have memories. Thank you Abigail and Sean.
i am so sorry.
Every time I play this for myself or share it, I cry. It is so, so beautiful and true. I share it often...we are all living the 'keep going on song'...and, as Ram Dass said "we are all just walking each other home." May you be blessed...showered with a multitude of blessings.
My friend sent this to me. I’ve not been able to cry for 6 months but your prayers got me there. We’re making this up as we go. I pray your prayers are answered. I hope the same for you and all who read this. Thank you so much for the joy, grief, rage and relief. Lots of love to you. 💖
I've watched and listened to this three times and cried a little more each time. And I'm fine. We are whole, and happy, and lucky. But so many are not, and this is a reminder of that, and that my family could easily be among them, and of the work there is to do, and the opportunities each of us have to make it better, no matter how small those things might seem. And that joy and rage and grief and relief can co-exist. I'm so moved and happy to hear sung the idea that we're building a vision. I can't remember the last time my heart was filled this much by a song.
My feelings exactly Kathy Breen. I have listened to it 5 times now. Each time, I respond with tears of compassion, hope, connectedness, belongingness and the pain of those who are struggling, coming into the arms and heart of those whose joy is overflowing. And it simply touches that one delicate spot of deep feeling.
An entire year later and this song allowed my to shed healing tears. Over these last few years, I don’t think anyone has really asked if I was okay. It felt soothing to hear it in the song.
How are you today?
@@loveearthspirit829 Doing very well. Thanks for asking. How are you?
There were some days when I would listen to this song for 8 to 12 times in a row and now, each time that I listen to it, hear it and let it sink in my heart, it touches me, gives me shivers, as it nourishes interconnection in a profound way with the poetry that you share. Your voices carry an authenticity that allows me to feel empathy when you sign those words and it gives me hope and warms my heart.
Yes! ❤
Sometimes I feel like what is happening around us, to us, and in us is not that big of a deal.
I disconnect
I distance
I unplug
I isolate
For the last few minutes
I connected
I felt closer
I plugged in
I found community.
Thank you.
How poignant, thank you so much for this sentiment!
We are making this up as we go. It is our new normal. I no longer work, recovered from covid, sold my city home, moved to a rural humble home. Today I talked to my neighbour (6 ft apart) across the fence. We are all doing our best. Thank you for your song. Spread the pollen of love.
Good for you, Janet! We live a bit rurally also, and as much as I'm a city girl at heart, the rural nighttime sereness speaks to my heart especially when viewing the night skies and communicating with God. Does it bless you that way too? 🌠🌌
Yes, God speaks to us in quiet places.
Deep bow of gratitude for this song. It is a musical prayer that has spoken to so many hearts, including mine. Abigail, you are utterly captivating… your soul reaches through time and technology…. Your happiness is certainly like pollen. 🙏💛🌻
I remember how extraordinary it was to hear you and this song in the midst of the Pandemic...how encouraging and connecting it felt through the bouts of isolation and the unknown . It's now 4 years later and with all that has happened since...all the loss and our country's turmoil...the deep heart of it still comes through and moves me. Continued blessings to you both as we keep going on.
We played this song in chapel today at my seminary and just wept, as we navigated how to offer hope, assurance and guidance for our communities that look to us as chaplains, minsters, pastors, healers etc, to have listened to this song was a gift, a space to grieve and rejoice. Thank you for this
What a wonderful thing to do. May we be guided by the great way ☆°•
I've been listening to this several times over 2 days and cried each time. Thank you for the release, the connection, the care.
Ur comment is so moving..thank u...
Me too!!!! 5th time today with a few tears
Same! Thank you!
A song of healing, this! ❤️
While listening, I wove the threads of my loneliness with the threads of my hopefulness. I feel so blessed by your song - a song, a gift, to yourselves and to all of us. So generous! Your song is now embedded in me, and also wrapped around me, a weaving of spirit and love. Even alone, I am not alone. Thank you!
Cried my eyes out in joy/hope/sadness/grief and the joy of having them in my room for a while. Thank you and love from Oregon.
Yes, the pollenation of joy is possible!! This is so beautiful, and deeply touching. Thank you for putting it into the world.
"I hope you have good company or enough memories to last a long time." why am I crying?
I love your little doggie. I have one similar. Mine is a little maltese-poodle. She's been seven pounds her whole life. She will be fourteen on Jan 26th, and she is as spry as a pup and as wise as an elder.
I needed to hear this song this morning, how this Country will last is beyond me.
I listen to this every couple of days, also watch their faces and gestures. This SO supports me to continue feeling cheerful, hopeful for the future of humanity. HUGE thanks and hugs to you both and to all those living out the expressions of compassion, courage, vulnerability and determination in this song. 💙🎶💚🙏
"And we will feel a little bit less alone... we will be together tonight..."
Heart was breaking a bit tonight. Y’all helped it break open instead of shut. 🙏🏾
Jessiline, Yes, our pain can meet in the river, we will go there together, and I am so grateful for your beautiful self. Keep going on! From Seattle, with love.
I saw this during the pandemic and cried. I saw it today and cried🥰😍 so love you guys!
Rediscovered this again. It’s a balm. Sometimes all we have is a rough beginning. Let it be enough. ♥️
This song blessed me so much. I laughed and cried and it cracked me open and healed me back up - all in 5 minutes and 45 seconds. I shared it to my newsletter group!
i just absolutely love her...Her spirit, spontaneity ,compassion and love are sooooo touching and i have to say... divine..Thank u two sooo much..
God sent you this loving song, you heard it and brought it into this world.
Thanks for the love.
Thanks for the tears.
Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks for the anger.
Thanks for that together.
God lives and loves.
Keep going on.
I've just discovered this song, more than a year later, and it still very much hits home.
Thank you
I literally cannot not cry when i listen to this. No matter what else i am doing, it just stops me in my tracks. Thank you for your beauty and light and hope and connection.
Same
This is the best way ive ever started a morning
I love you, thank you Angels! 🙏🌟💖
STILL GOING ON 💥🌟💛🙏🏾🌈💎🎊 much love to ALL #UNITY #ONElove #2021 thank you Beauty Full Bengsons!
This is a Keeper! Keep on Keeping on! You are such a gift🎁! ..... your voices🎶, your love❤️ and your vision👁 for a beautiful new world🌎... your pollination✨ for Joy is the answer!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The cosmos Jacket caught my attention first, then her amazing voice.
Right?!
I want that jacket!!!! PLEASE!
to me, there is a strong "Graceland", Paul Simon-ish vibe to the melody. So warm and comfortable and inspiring
I recently found myself humming this long-forgotten song that had been buried somewhere in my sub-conscious, so I returned to it today. Imagine my surprise when I started to cry! Still so lovely even after 3 years 💜
This is spreading like wildfire in my community today. And it truly is clearing my mind. Thank you
"If your heart is breaking, I hope it's breaking open." What a beautiful line. I lost both my parents within two weeks of each other just before everything shut down in March. Exactly what I've been doing with my heart. Just got back from their grave again today and found this song sent to me. Thank you for the smiles. And thanks to Oregon Public Radio.
I had forgotten about this song and came back to it by chance.... and I cried again. Thank you! This is sooooo special! xx
It's time again, in January of '22, for this loving, comforting, connecting, caring, joyful, spontaneous song! It may be still named COVID19, but I'm calling it, " That time in our lives when we began to rethink everything. "
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU!
My soul is nourished. Thank you. I’ll come here often when my resilience needs a boost.
Thank you! I have shared this with everyone I know in my Mental Health Counseling graduate program and internship site. We are feeling all of what you sing for ourselves and for the people who seek our help. You have provided a blueprint for resiliency, in the loveliest music.
Me too! It's important.
I'm speechless and full of tearful gratitude for thebengsons.... Oh My! The world must take this into their hearts...to help with the healing we so much need right now.
I have a smile 💖 on my face 🥰 lots of love from Nuremberg Germany 💖🙏💖🍁🍁🍁💕🌞💞 I K E E P G O I N G O N 💚💚💚
Thank you dear Abigail and dear Sean. I've been listening your song on repeat and have send it to some friends who also teared up. Thank you for your warmth and joy, your vision and hope, your vulnerable share and empathy!
Watching this makes me feel loved. Thank you! I hope everyone gets to see it.
This song is needed in this time, in this moment of history more than ever. The words, the delivery are amazing. A song that touches our souls.
Thank you is not enough to say to you for this gift. This is a song for this age where transformation is occurring.
holy cow.....A friend just sent this to me this morning. It has been one heck of a year. Covid, politics, fires, finding a slipping away of the soft edges that I have always felt were the strongest parts of us. Thank you for letting me laugh and cry like a baby all in the span of a few minutes. "Letting my heart break-open"
Thank you both. I live alone, have health problems and I've been pretty angry all the time. Your song made me cry, and cry. I listened to it 4 times in a row, and the crying feels better. You give me hope.
This song is as infectious as COVID-19. I love it so so much, I can’t stop listening!
me too!
Haha good call!
YOu two are such Heart medicine. Thank you. Laughing with joy all by myself at home on a Monday morning. What a gift.
I've never commented on a youtube video but this song has saved me and reminded me of my love for humanity. Thank you.
Sending love from Scotland. This song is helping me so much. Thank you.
I'm feeling so many feelings as I weep, I'm not sure what I'm feeling. Luckily, I have dogs to keep me in the 'now'. Otherwise, I'm afraid of how low and how dark I could go. Hope and fear co-exist in equal measure, and it's confusing. But my dogs need to be walked so I will keep going outside to be sure their needs are taken care of...and having them forces me to take care of me, too, however minimally on various days, every day we walk. Thank you....
I hope you'll reach out to speak with someone, whether friends family or a counselor, so the dark days continue to get lighter.
I m Clara from Berlin and me too, I want to thank you both for this great inspiration and, yes, for HOPE - this vision of changing. Your song is like a pray and I hope, that we all can hear and feel it - this awaking and warm greatings. I m a spirituel worker and I*m listening since 3 days all the time🙏😇 from heart to heart, Clara
Thank you Abigail and Sean...you brought tears and smiles. With love and courage to you and your beleaguered country. Judy in South Africa
I needed some levity. Been low on real human interactions, this was just what I needed to keep going tonight. Prayers for you all and your family headed your way from Canton MI.
Peter
Thanks for such an honest -genuine comment...I am so moved by it....
❤️ thank you for saying “low on real human interactions,” the way to did. Made me feel a little tendril of increased connection and understanding for sharing that sentiment.
Pick a number in your phone of someone nearby. Call. Invite yourself over. Yesterday I spoke 2hrs with someone on a bench in a square in our city. I knew the guy only from Twitter. It was a good afternoon.
f covid. We need human social interaction in the person. Don't let a government tell you otherwise.
I. Love. This.
The willingness to present unplanned human insecurity... pulling words from her heart as she goes... wishing love upon all of us....
Truly inspiring.
Thank you!!!❤️👊😍
You 2! 🙌
I bless God for people like you!
The 2 of you are living Miracles!
Please from the Bottom of My heart, Never stop sending this Positivly Radiating energy in to the world!
It need's it! 😍
No matter, if these 10 Days, become years! Your kid Will Love Y'all!
& I gues, Shaun's Mom & Dad wont mind To Watch a whole bunch more Good ass Television show's with you Guys!
Bless you Both! ❤️
Bless everyone! ❤️
Bless the World!!! ❤️🙏❤️
two years later. still love this. ❤
This is so moving--from the mind to the heart to the gut and back again. We're going to write about it on The What List tomorrow. Thank you for shining your light out into the world. We need it so desperately. Namaste and love to you both.
This song makes me want to keep going on. Even though the world is a stressful place, this song gives me hope. Thanks. Medicine for the soul.
I typed a keep going song because I wanted to keep going , keep surviving this hell I'm in , Just wanted to hear some positive words to lift a little some dark thoughts I 'm having . I hit search and there it is a keep going song named keep going song . The best song i've listened to for the past years , It made me smile and be hopeful , and calm a little . Thank you guys for this .
I keep coming back to this again and again, especially at night after I put my daughter to bed, the house is quiet and lonely and my grief is overwhelming... I put this on and my heart is still and I regain balance. You blessed so many people with this. Thank you my dear magicians, mentors, musicians, mystics.
I genuinely love you both. Thank you for the gift of tears, the gift of a smile, the gift of a laugh...and for the gift to have grace and hope as we keep going on...and keep singing a new future into existence. Blessings to you and yours. May you be well.
I lost my Mom at the beginning of January. You two have brought me so much comfort and love and I just want to reach out and send my greatest gratitude. 🙏
Ooooof! Solar plexus singing! Heart singing! Wind roaring through the centre of the soul singing! Love grabbing you by the scruff of the neck singing! Single light in the sky, mote in the eye of God singing! Unforgiving ice of tenderness singing! A woman singing! A man singing! A family singing! Life singing...
“I hope you’re getting enough sleep.” ☝🏻me at 3am watching this
Absolutely tear inspiring, heart opening, lovely. Thank you, from my heart and home to yours.
Thank you for this. Healing and cleansing tears each time. I realize how much I have been missing. Clear voices through a microphone. Live music. Hugs from friends. Travel. Running into acquaintances. My mom. Any form of certainty or stability. This lifts me up and breaks me open a little more each time I hear it.
You are beautiful, I didn't know keep going on was my mantra until you sang it to me. Thank you!
This is Florian from Vienna, Austria, who´s been watching and listening to the "Keep Going Song" over and over again since it came out. You made me shed tears of grief and relief... and gave me some of the belief in humankind back that i sometimes desperately need. THANK YOU!
She has a gorgeous voice. I hope your body is whole tonight, too. And thanks for making me cry good tears.
Someone sent this to me at the most perfect time. I was feeling so helpless and hopeless after more sad news of vulnerable people losing more and more protections (Texas lawmakers change social work code of ethics to allow for discrimination). This is a good reminder and a beautiful release. I don’t know you, but love you guys! ❤️ from Vermont
4:06 so wonderful and joyous and poignant as I mainly run and run to stop regretting all the things I have lost, or that are no more.
This is about the most uplifting, touching, joyous - yet REAL-to-life - song I've EVER heard! Thank you. Thank you for this. The timing couldn't be more perfect. I'm shedding tears of bewilderment and gratitude! xoxo
