This song got me through one of the hardest years of my life. A break up with my girlfriend, a falling out with my family, demotion at my perceived dead-end job, and struggles with depression and meaning. I remember listening to this song in the rain as people walked by, some staring and others trying to ignore, and I didn't care. The song became my anthem and the music video video just spoke to me at one of my lowest points. A year later I was lucky enough to see Zedd live at Ile Soniq in Montreal and when the song came on , I was reminded of how beautiful life really was. And now looking back years later, I still feel the emotional fortitude the song gave to me when I was in that dark place. It is just as beautiful then, as it is now.

Those of you who don't know the meaning of this video song, then here it is (source - Wikipedia)
The video intertwines five different stories together. The first is of a woman who supposedly drowned her female lover in a pool;
the second involves an elderly Central American man who is journeying on an unsuccessful mountain climbing attempt;
the third involves the son of a man whose home is invaded by armed robbers;
the fourth involves Zedd portraying a liquor store robber who becomes hostile with the management;
and the fifth depicts a distraught girl laying down on a railroad.
As the song progresses, the video intercuts to scenes of family happiness, good times with friends, dancing and rejoicing before concluding the five stories.
The first woman's lover is pulled from the water before drowning, and the ex realizes the gravity of the situation;
the old man attempts to climb the mountain and falls, but survives, without reaching the summit;
The armed robbery victim's son confronts the hostiles at gunpoint and subdues them;
Zedd's character reflects over what sunk him to his current point in life and seems to change his ways;
the suicidal girl is missed by the train and reflects on her life and why she chose such an extreme act.
All five people in the stories see themselves in a reflection in various surfaces as their stories are closed and they all resolve to be better people!

Has anyone considered the best times of these characters' lives are shown in flashes and the most traumatic times are shown in real-time? For me, this makes me realize how precious the good times in our lives are and how we too often fixate on what has gone wrong in our lives. Life is too short, appreciate whats makes you happy. This is what life is all about.

i think this video is about how beautiful human life is.
Of course we will all have times where we make regrettable decisions,do stupid things, feel heartbreak and do something bad for the greater good but at the end of the day, we have hundreds of beautiful memories for each terrible one. We shouldn't live our lives in fear of regret and rejection.
Just strive to be happy.
