I am American and I have never been to Europe, but I love this song. And to think that Beethoven was able to pull this off when he was completely deaf!

[takakocaesar]

This song should be the anthem of humanity. It encapsulate the best of humanity, and the hearts and souls of all mankind.

[hugosouvenier]

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt*;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder*
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

[Petteri]

My mom is currently in the hospital after a stroke. I just decided that this is the first thing I will play to her once she is better enough to communicate. Because you cannot not have a reaction to this.

Years ago Mr. Beethoven tried to teach us that "we are brothers". But until today we don't understand.

I'm English, part Scot, should have been born Australian, can, t speak a word of German, & this sends shivers down my spine, has it, s own highly powerful presence & is one of the most powerful pieces of music I, ve ever heard . I can handle some French ; Tres bon Monsieur Rieu, Bravo !

[nahii]

Ich kann dieses Lied stundenlang abspielen. Das ist Beethoven! Gruss aus Pattaya und danke!!!

[raymondkrist]

Probably one of the most beautiful pieces of music EVER written

[RobLeursKout]

We wonen in een prachtig deel van de wereld, met een rijke cultuur, een niet altijd even fraaie geschiedenis, met hoogte- en dieptepunten, maar boven alles ben ik er trots op om zowel Nederlander als inwoner van een Verenigd Europa te zijn.

[hectorantoniomoralesrodrig]

This is the kind of music that touches you whether you understand the lyrics or not, because it wasn't made for the mind but for the heart and soul

[wwttwtlee]

The voice of the soprano in the latter half bring me tears for unknown reasons.

[DailyWorkoutDiscipline]

2:22 This woman biting her lip in excitement as she knew what was about to happen. It's like she traveled back in time to secure a seat at this particular concert. The beautiful music, with the background scene "zooming in" on Earth, putting everything in cosmic perspective, makes the world feel incredibly small and fragile, yet makes you have hope for a united humanity. Incredible

[ephraimspencer]

The woman in the crowd oh Lord. That´s a Pure heart singing

[norbertbfink]

Alle Menschen werden Brüder, Freunde schöner Götterfunken,
Keine Kriege Keine Gier Macht, Frieden auf Erden

[MH-gyrr]

I remember singing this in grade 5 for a concert we also got a standing ovation the next year we did Oliver I'm almost 60 now time flies

[salvoolivo]

There could not be a better anthem to choose for Europe. This is glorious!

[huyplasma]

I'm a asian and a 14 years old boy but this song makes me cry and remember about Bethoven

[countolaf]

I am not a European. But I love 'Ode to Joy' so much! Love from India!

[tonyknight]

I was born in Mexico, but I have Europe in my heart!!! I think this is the ANTHEM of mankind

[dewilderdbetter]

We can only pity those who are not moved to tears by Schiller’s Ode To Joy as translated into the universal language of music by the greatest composer who ever lived.
