It doesn't happen often, yet in the constant stream of videos designed to grab attention, a simple piece of content can stop hundreds of thousands of people from scrolling.

This is what happened to a group of young people from the Youth and Vocation Ministry of Ales-Terralba, protagonists—against their will—of one of the most viewed videos of recent days on Instagram and TikTok.

The video lasts just over a minute: boys and girls singing "King of Kings," with wide smiles and an energy that overwhelms viewers and listeners. An "intimate" moment shared on a smartphone and posted on social media.

In just over 24 hours, that video had surpassed 450,000 views and garnered over 20,000 likes, bouncing from platform to platform, from phone to phone. In short, without being "designed to work," it worked.

Contrary to what social media usually offers us, something surprisingly normal emerges here: the joy of a group that believes in what they live.

Behind those images lies a shared journey. An experience that begins off-screen and only later ends up online. And perhaps it's this gap—between what's "produced" for social media today and what simply happens—that makes the video recognizable, different, and authentic.

It's no coincidence, then, that many comments speak of "breathing," of "light," of something worthwhile to look at. It seems that in times saturated with content, spontaneity almost becomes news.
