The title should really be 'From WHEN You'd Rather Be'. I was in grade 12 of high school when this ad came out and it personifies my emotions of that time. Long summer days hanging out with friends at the beach, road trips, young love. I miss those days. I love my life now too - I'm 28, have my own home, have a job, a wife, a son. I was fortunate enough to marry my high school sweetheart from back in these days too! But every now and then we hear this song, and we reminisce with a melancholy nostalgia of a wonderful time in our lives. I wish I realised how special those days where when they were happening. I bet one day in another decade or so, I'll come back and see this comment and remember fondly of these times right now as well. I hope I make the most of them.
I've been listening to this since I was in highschool over 10 years ago, new city now, new friends, new life, but this takes me right back to the same happy place it did the day I found it all those years ago
11 years since I found this video for the first time. Now in 2024 I am enjoying it with a bottle of corona after a nice surf sesh here in Alicante, Spain, Mediteranean sea
I'm from Southern California, I've lived in Hawaii and traveled throughout Mexico. I'm 51 now and I've been surfing my whole life, and for as long as I can remember I've had this re-occurring dream that is always some variation of this video - I'm in a small beach town in Mexico that I've never been to, and in my dream I always think "this isn't that far why don't I come down here more often". I am lucky that I have experienced the dream in real life and now that I have a young son I'm looking forward to sharing those experiences with him..
Are you still surfing, i am near 50 and something i think it is too late for me. But on other hand, I think it is never to late for enjoying the life, right?
@@voydechill My son still doesn't know how to swim so teaching him to swim is my priority at the moment. I have some friends that are in their 50's that beat themselves up over not surfing as good as they used to and I think it's kind of funny. You don't need to shred to enjoy the ocean. My advice is just get yourself in the water. Go for a swim, bodysurf, bodyboard, it's all surfing. And if you plan on learning to surf on a surfboard you need to be a very strong swimmer anyways. In other words, you'll need the conditioning..
I commented here about three years ago and reading my comment back it looks like I made it all about myself and I failed to mention how beautifully this was filmed. I really love the 70''s vibe, the motorhome, the VW and all of the beautiful hair 😄
I always dream of going to the beach and living there. I promise anyone who reads this comment that I will. Think of me in 15 years, think of me at the beach.
We traveled around europe for a month this summer and played this song often on the bus. The group was so chill and relaxed whenever we played this song. This song made the great trip even better :)
I listen to this in the morning when I vacation before anyone else is up sip a beer and watch the sun rise it puts me in a very good place and what a way to start the day recommend it to everyone.
we watch the light as it set from the sun all the ways we could run all the ways we could run oh my, can you see the light from outer space? what was said what was done as the time had a ride all the ways we could run all the things we could try oh my, could you tell me where this is going to lead? and all the lights are shining on the sea as the rolling waves crash along the beach and our minds were meant to sail take a rest from our thoughts take a brake from this world and we'll feel miles away from the places that we used to be as we lay in the sand and we stare at the sky watch the moon dancing why as the stars latch your eyes oh my, there's no place on earth i'd rather be in my eye this night just don't feel real but i can feel your touch promise you won't let go and our minds were meant to sail take a rest from our thoughts take a brake from this world and we'll feel miles away from the places that we used to be and our minds were meant to sail take a rest from our thoughts take a brake from this world and we'll feel miles away from the places that we used to be
I just wanna tell anyone out there who gets the chance to do this to DO IT. I waited until I was 30, recovering from a back operation, re mortgaged my house, rented it out, bought a 6 birth camper and travelled from North of Ireland to Africa spending about 14 months on the road. The best waves, fresh fish, camp fires, BBQs, chilled people I've ever been in the company of. It was by far the best time I ever had in my life, absolutely amazing. Make your dreams come true, you're only here once, I'm 44 and I still look at this time as the best time in my life. You can never take away the memories of a lifetime. If I inspire one other person to make that decision to get on the road then this post is worth while. Top marks Corona, still my favourite advert ;)
Every time i see the short corona commercial with this song it's so touching i can't explain it makes me feel so many different feeling at the same time... so simple and yet so meaningful... just amazing!
My brother killed himself last year, its been a rough year, i did sone psychedlics and came across this song while i was tripping. We just bought our first hone together, my fiance and i, and i havent tripped since his death. Well i was wearing a corona shirt and i felt hin talking to me before i realized it was a corona commercial. And then i saw the shirt i was wearing. Well sept 19 is the publish date, and also the day he commited suicide. I love you jordan i miss you bro. I wish i knew what you are trying to tell me. And i hope you feel a nillion miles away from whatever the fuck made you want to emd your life
Yo I can’t even imagine how you feel man, my brother is everything to me, may he live on through you and may you find comfort in your loving knowledge that he is at peace
Im sorry to hear your story, hope it’s better than it was when you wrote your comment two years ago. A friend of mine killed himself st the beginning of this year, he had depressions. This song got played at his funeral am I’m always starting to cry while listening to this song. It’s just a great song which makes me feel connected to him at separated at the same time. Hope everyone’s enjoying their times with their friends, you never know who will pass away next. Try to enjoy every day and try to help everyone to have a better day.
this is by far one of the best songs and commercials i've ever seen. It reflects life in an easy way, which is really possible, but without any real luxuries. If you wanna live like that, do it, if you cannot be happy with what you have, this isn't the right lifestyle for you. :)
How I’d love to just buy an RV, sell everything I don’t need, and just travel the country.. Unfortunately movies and music make it look so easy to just pack up and leave the life you know behind.. maybe one day!! Much love all! ✌️
Tradução para português BR :) bom proveito. Nós vemos a luz Que fixa-se no Sol Todos os caminhos poderíamos seguir Todos os caminhos poderíamos seguir Oh my, você consegue ver a luz vinda do exterior? O que foi dito, o que foi feito O tempo passa rápido Todos os caminhos poderíamos seguir Todas as coisas poderíamos tentar Oh my, você poderia me dizer aonde isso vai levar? Todas as luzes brilham sobre o mar As ondas quebram ao longo da praia E nossas mentes nos fazem navegar Ter um descanso de nossos pensamentos Dar uma pausa deste mundo E nós vamos nos sentir a milhas de distâncias Do lugar que costumamos ficar Quando estávamos deitados na areia E nós olhamos para o céu Assistimos a lua dançando E as estrelas fixando nossos olhos Oh my, não há lugar na Terra Em que eu preferia estar Em meus olhos esta noite não parece real Mas eu consigo sentir seu toque Prometa-me que você não irá embora E nossas mentes nos fazem navegar Ter um descanso de nossos pensamentos Dar uma pausa deste mundo E nós vamos nos sentir a milhas de distâncias Do lugar que costumamos ficar E nossas mentes nos fazem navegar Ter um descanso de nossos pensamentos Dar uma pausa deste mundo E nós vamos nos sentir a milhas de distâncias Do lugar que costumamos ficar
Miles Away Lyrics We watch the light As it set from the sun All the ways we could run All the ways we could run Oh my, can you see the light From outer space? What was said what was done As the time had a ride All the ways we could run All the things we could try Oh my, can you tell me Where this is going to lead? And all the lights are shining on the sea As the rolling waves crash along the beach And our minds were meant to sail Take a rest from our thoughts Take a break from this world And we'll feel miles away From the places that we used to be As we lay in the sand And we stare at the sky Watch the moon dancing why As the stars latch our eyes Oh my, there's no place on earth I'd rather be In my eye this night just don't Feel real But i can feel your touch Promise you won't let go And our minds were meant to sail Take a rest from our thoughts Take a break from this world And we'll feel miles away From the places that we used to be And our minds were meant to sail Take a rest from our thoughts Take a break from this world And we'll feel miles away From the places that we used to be And our minds were meant to sail Take a rest from our thoughts Take a break from this world And we'll feel miles away From the places that we used to be And our minds were meant to sail Take a rest from our thoughts Take a break from this world And we'll feel miles away From the places that we used to be
In watch this once a day to remember the life i had before when it was care free and surfing everyday. I never cared for Corona much but since i have seen this video Corona is my new brand. 3 a night after the gym or swimming laps at the pool, missing the beach, missing the waves. Some day I will retire and live by the beach again and surf whenever there are waves. Till then, videos like these get me by,
Great video. I'm from Torreón, Coah, México and our local Football Team is Santos Laguna, the name of our stadium is THE CORONA STADIUM where you can have all the Coronas you want. Cheers from México and CORONAS for all ♫
This song brings a tear to mh eye, it reminds me of my hometown beach in San diego and the awesome moments of my life i spent there.now I'm in Missouri and this song just brings good feeling mixed with a touch.of sadness cause thats the place id rathrr be
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." Mark Twain
One of my favorites ~ “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Mark Twain
My friends and I use to get stoned to this 10 years ago. How times have changed and how we've all drifted apart, this definitely takes me back to those simpler times, Longboarding in the summer.
Have been living on the coast for more than 10 years, now live far away from any ocean. by watching this video, I can smell the sea water, and feel sand on my hands.
Every time i come back to this song i have some tears to my eyes. Dont know whats the cause.. Maybr because i've always wanted to be in such a place like that or miss the passionate feeling of being with loved ones and share the passion of traveling and a stress free time... Maybe its time to take a step back from all thus stressful shit.
Tbh, nothing sounds more peaceful right now than 70 degrees, a rv camped right next to a shade tree, and the smell of the ocean in the breeze. I don't think it could get better
Disclaimer: I don't like Corona. But whenever I will need to explain the beauty, or somehow need to convey the feeling of surfing to a beloved one, I will show her/him this clip. Perfect. Speechless.
It's so much fun listening to this music that you only understand that you really are an adult who put the nonsense aside ... you understand the depth of this quiet and fun
Best song ever written. I love this song, so soothing. I do wish I was able to tell what all the lyrics are. A couple spots I am unsure of, but still the greatest tune written. :-)
You guys need to realize that this is for a beer commerical. The first time I heard that their message was "fun in the sun" I was like this is going to be sooo cheesy, but after watching this I have to tell you it's so much more than that. It truly transports you to another world and it's beauty is mesmerizing.
vemos a luz como definido a partir do sol todas as maneiras que poderiam funcionar todas as maneiras que poderiam funcionar oh meu, você pode ver a luz do espaço exterior? o que foi dito que foi feito como o tempo teve um passeio todas as maneiras que poderiam funcionar todas as coisas que poderia tentar oh meu, você poderia me dizer onde isso vai levar? e todas as luzes estão brilhando sobre o mar como as ondas acidente ao longo da praia e as nossas mentes foram feitos para navegar ter um descanso de nossos pensamentos tomar um freio deste mundo e nós vai se sentir milhas de distância dos lugares que costumava ser quando estávamos deitados na areia e nós olhar para o céu assistir a lua dançando porque como as estrelas trava seus olhos oh meu, não há nenhum lugar na terra eu preferia ser no meu olho esta noite simplesmente não fazer parece real mas eu posso sentir seu toque prometa que não vai deixar ir e as nossas mentes foram feitos para navegar ter um descanso de nossos pensamentos tomar um freio deste mundo e nós vai se sentir milhas de distância dos lugares que costumava ser e as nossas mentes foram feitos para navegar ter um descanso de nossos pensamentos tomar um freio deste mundo e nós vai se sentir milhas de distância dos lugares que costumava ser
"We took a road trip down the west coast of Mexico in a beat-up 1976 Winnebago with some of our more talented friends." cooooomon please. this is at least a 50 crew commercial but together by a producer with planing, lights, probs, actors and assistants. Nobody is going to tell me that those shots were freaking spontaneous. love this commercial thou, makes me want to drink corona, so it works.
